When Liu Ying came out of Changle Palace, she happened to see Zhang Yan coming down from the queen's phoenix and hurriedly stepping on the stairs.

"Your Majesty." Zhang Yan pulled the hem of his clothes and asked, "What's wrong with you and the Queen Mother?" He looked up, and his face was full of anxiety.

Liu Ying took her hand and walked down the long steps. Zhang Yan was dragged forward by him for a while, and called out in his mouth, "Uncle? The body kept turning his head and looking into the tall palace gate of Changle Palace, as if he could see the depressed face of Empress Lu.

Liu Ying's chest rose and fell slightly, and she didn't answer her wife's question, but just said in a low voice, "You go back with me first." ”

"But," Zhang Yan frowned, for the empress dowager, "the queen mother now?" ”

Even if she is strong in front of outsiders, she must be very fragile at this time when she just quarreled with her son, right?

Liu Ying suddenly felt a little sad, let go of her hand, and asked casually, "Ah Yan, if one day, I really oppose the queen mother, will you help your grandma?" Or do you want to help me? ”

Zhang Yan was stunned and smiled reluctantly, "What did Your Majesty say?" You are of the same heart as the Queen Mother's mother and son, no matter what happens, how did you come to such a point? ”

"Yes, mother and son are of the same heart." Liu Ying was dazed for a moment, let go of her hand, nodded and ordered, "The night is windy, when you go back to Weiyang Palace, remember to ask the palace people to add some clothes." ”

Zhang Yan looked at his back in the emperor's guard of honor, and her lips trembled slightly.

"Mother." Tu Yu stepped forward and said cautiously, "...... are we?" ”

She blinked the mist in her eyes and turned back, "Go to the Changxin Palace." ”

There was a slaughter in the Changxin Palace, and Aunt Su Mo was very relieved when she saw Zhang Yan come in.

"The Queen Mother is annoyed." She pointed to the hall and said, "Queen Mother." Su Mo's voice was worried, "You go in and persuade her." ”

When Zhang Yan entered the hall, Empress Lu was sitting on the back, and when she heard the movement, she suddenly smashed the glass ear cup in front of the case, and said angrily, "The mourning family said that the mourning family wants to be quiet alone, you are all dead?" ”

With a click, the glass ear cup rubbed the side of Zhang Yan's ear and clanged on the paulownia pillar. Fell to the ground and smashed.

When Empress Lu saw Zhang Yan's frightened pale face, her eyes lit up with regret. But it was too late.

"Ah Yan."

"Silly boy." Empress Lu hurriedly checked her up and down and saw that she was fine. Then he said, "Why don't you make a sound?" If it really hurts, it's not good. ”

Zhang Yan smiled reluctantly, "I saw that Grandma was in a bad mood, so I didn't dare to disturb." But I was afraid that Grandma wouldn't be able to figure it out when she was alone, so she wanted to accompany her quietly. ”

The candle flame she was holding shone on the eyes that were deeply sunken under the candlelight of Lu Hou.

She suddenly realized that this woman, whom she had always thought was indestructible, was getting old. There are only two people who can really hurt her.

One is Liu Ying. One is Lu Yuan.

"Hmph." Empress Lu laughed at herself, "It's still Xiao Ayan's caring, unlike your husband who has no conscience." I don't understand his mother's kindness at all. ”

Zhang Yan shook her head and persuaded gently, "Your Majesty is just angry for a while, but there is no doubt that he is filial to the Queen Mother in his heart." But the Queen Mother. Why do you like to work against Your Majesty? ”

"Oh?"

"Ah Yan thinks," Zhang Yan persuaded quietly. "Your Majesty is sometimes just a child, and he needs the Queen Mother to coax him well as a mother, but the Queen Mother is always tough with him. No matter how good-tempered he is, His Majesty is also a man, and he is always a little bloody. If he fights his breath, he will offend the Queen Mother just to protect Wang Long. Is the Queen Mother more than she gains? ”

Empress Lu was stunned, remembering that she was in Fengpei Township a long time ago.

At that time, Liu Ying was only five or six years old, and when she came home after a long day of madness outside, she would say a few words to him with a straight face, and then wipe the sweat from his head with a clean handkerchief.

All her tenderness seems to have been lost in the Chu-Han dispute in those years. Gentle people are easily injured, and when they come out of the sea of corpses and blood, there is only one Lu Pheasant with a heart as hard as iron.

"Ah Yan." Empress Lu suddenly held her hand, her eyes lit up aggressively, "I can't wait three years, one year, only one year." If a year later, you still can't get the surplus. Mourning ......"

She didn't say any more. However, Zhang Yan understood what she meant from her gaze.

Zhang Yan's mind was spinning rapidly. Emperor Hui is five years old, and she is fourteen years old, but in fact, she has just turned thirteen years old. Three years later, she was sixteen years old. But a year later, he was only fourteen years old. Whether it is emotionally or physically, it is really a little reluctant.

But in Weiyang Palace, she can't lose the support of Empress Lu.

No matter how dissatisfied Liu Ying is with Empress Lu, Empress Lu is always his mother, and he can't cut off.

So she resisted the force exerted by Empress Lu on her hand, gritted her teeth and said, "One year is too short, two years." Mother-in-law. I'm really, a little scared. ”

Lu Houqian patrolled her gaze and saw that it was clear and calm, so he let go of his hand and said, "Cheng, two years." She rubbed her brows and said tiredly, "Ah Yan, I'm tired of mourning." That Wang,"

She fell out with her son this time and was unwilling to admit any of her mistakes, so she threw all her grievances on Wang Long, and didn't even want to mention her name, but said lightly, "You go and deal with it." ”

Zhang Yan opened her mouth and was about to speak. Empress Lu intercepted her and said, "The mourning family can't protect you for the rest of your life." You've also been in Weiyang Palace for more than a year, and you've seen everything you should see and learn. If the mourning family is still here, you can't deal with the little bazi surnamed Wang, so if one day, the mourning family is gone, how do you plan to support Weiyang Palace? ”

Zhang Yan was silent for a while, this was a test for her after Lu Hou stepped back for a while. She could only catch it.

After returning to the Jiaofang Palace, she changed into a swallow suit, pulled up a green silk, and thought thoughtfully.

She actually didn't understand that as the queen mother, Empress Lu had too many means to make Wang Long disappear silently in Weiyang Palace, why she chose the most upright one.

Perhaps, because the attributes on Empress Lu belong more to the court than to the harem. She is more of a politician than one of the women in the harem who compete for favor for a living.

What about me?

Zhang Yan smiled. I want to be both a politician and your wife. So, what I care about is not the means, but the final outcome.

He handed the letter in his hand to Mu Xi and said, "You give it to Gonggong Han in the Xuan Room." I ask him to forward it to His Majesty immediately. ”

She deliberately bit the word "immediate".

Then he turned his head and ordered, "Go to the Imperial Doctor's Office and ask Imperial Doctor Chunyu to come." ”

"Mother." She was taken aback and asked, "Is there anything wrong with you?" ”

"Can't you call in a doctor if you don't feel unwell?" Zhang Yan smiled and said, "I'm just reminiscing." ”

Chun Yuyan entered the hall and said, "See the queen." ”

"Get up." Zhang Yan looked at the young imperial physician and suddenly said, "Counting it up, I have a master-apprentice relationship with the previous Chun Yuzhen imperial physician. You are his righteous son, and you are also my senior brother. ”

"Don't dare to be." Chun Yuyan gave his hand.

This young man didn't seem to be familiar with him when he was in Xuanping. However, there are some connections that can be trusted in the Imperial Medical Department.

"Hongu would like to ask you for a favor."

"The Queen." Chun Yuyan Huoran raised his head, and one or two sparks burst out of his eyes, "The pregnancy of the eighth son of the Qingliang Palace is not the responsibility of the minister alone, not to mention, the minister is a doctor." I can't be a healer who doesn't rebel against what my father taught me. ”

"Don't worry." Zhang Yan was stunned and said, "I didn't mean to ask you to drug Wang Meiren." She looked at her delicate hands and laughed to herself, "I don't like blood on my hands, either." I don't like my actions to provoke Liu Ying's anger.

can make the child in Wang Long's womb disappear silently and Liu Ying has no chance, there is only one way.

"I heard that there is a ...... in Chang'an East City," Zhang Yan said.

When Liu Ying returned to the Jiaofang Palace. There was no trace of Chun Yuyan leaving.

"Ah Yan," he called.

Zhang Yan suddenly jumped up and chased him. "You go bathe me first. Somewhere else, don't bring me the smell of other women. ”

When Liu Ying came out again, she saw Zhang Yan sitting on the couch reading a book, the night light falling from the window, half on her cheeks, and there was a feeling of bubbling vitality under the tranquil lake.

He suddenly felt a little weak. It seems that no matter what I do, I can't take care of everyone.

Mother. Ah Yan, Wang Long, and the child who has not yet been born.

Is there a verse wrong here?

"Your Majesty's question today is not right." Zhang Yan put down the book in her hand in an uproar and stood up, the light in her eyes was bright and compelling, "You ask me whether I support you or Your Majesty. Your Majesty, what do you want me to answer? You are my uncle-in-law, but the Queen Mother is also my grandmother. Your Majesty asked me who I was closer to, then, let me ask Your Majesty first, does Your Majesty plan to break with the Queen Mother because of today's events? ”

Liu Ying was taken aback, and suddenly replied, "Naturally not." ”

Don't say that nothing really happened to that kid. Even if Empress Lu really succeeds, the child can still have it in the future, but the mother only has this one. Liu Ying thought helplessly, maybe, no matter what his mother did, he would not be able to really break with his mother.

"So," Zhang Yan said unceremoniously, "I'll go to see the Queen Mother first, what's wrong?" ”

If one day, I have a conflict with those harem concubines of yours, who will you choose?

"You just know that the state officials set fires, and the people are not allowed to light the lamps."

"What Zhang Kai said in his note that there may be a drought in Guanzhong this summer, is it true?"

Zhang Yan still hated it, nodded lightly and said, "I'm not one of those people who don't have it, how can I deceive people with such a thing?" Zhang Kai has always been a safe person, and since he dares to say it, he must have great certainty. Your Majesty should also think about it as soon as possible. ”

Liu Ying thought for a while, shook her head and sighed, "What do you say?" Could it be that during the court meeting, he said that I knew that there would be a big drought in Guanzhong this summer, so I had to make some preparations in advance. It only rained a few days ago, and if the wind and rain are smooth this summer, and there is no drought, then I will not be forced to cure Zhang Kai for the crime of bewitching the public? ”

He shook his head and said, "Don't say whether the ministers of the court will believe in such ethereal science as astrology, once the news of the drought spreads, the hearts of the people in Guanzhong will be uncertain." Ah Yan, you know, after many years of fighting between Chu and Han, Guanzhong has already been empty. In the ninth year of Emperor Gao, Liu Jing returned from the Xiongnu and advised Emperor Gao to move the Gao people from all over the country to Guanzhong. Since then, the whole country has gradually migrated, and it has taken so many years for people to settle down. If there is a drought in Guanzhong, then these people have only lived in this land for a few years, and it is not good if people run in panic. ”

Zhang Yan pursed her lips and said in her heart, Liu Ying has actually grown up in these years. Perhaps, he will never be able to become an eloquent monarch, but in political affairs, his deeds are becoming more and more mature.

"Your Majesty doesn't have to worry either." She said with a smile, "Since the use of the new agricultural method, Guanzhong has had a big harvest for two years, and the drought for one year should be able to survive." ”

"Grain, grain." Liu Ying's gaze circled on the brown paper map hanging in the Jiaofang Palace, and finally settled on the place where the Yellow River and Jishui diverged, Xingyang.

There is the location of the former Qin Zhi Ao Cang.

Every year, grain from the Kanto region is transported from this place to Guanzhong and the north.

*********************

Well. I also know that the recent chapters have been depressing to everyone

Once again, I apologize.

It's not that I don't want to write something that makes everyone happy. It's that the plot is written here, and it seems a little out of my control.

Sometimes I give up on myself and think that I will write about a bad man in the next book, so I don't think it's right for him to do any bad things.

Now, let's continue on the journey of training good men.

The last four days of May. That, the monthly pass has come to this point, and I'm also very impetusive. But at this stage, it can't be said to give up directly. So I had to continue.

Looking up, although, it seems that the current plot is very depressing, but I still plead, pink ticket to support me.

Sincerely remember it.
