Empress Chu

Xie Yanlai stopped talking, turned her head to look, and saw Xiao Yu standing outside the door, looking in with her head slightly, but did not step in.

"Ah Yu." Chu Zhao smiled and waved.

Only then did Xiao Yu step in, walked quickly to Chu Zhao's side, looked at Xie Yanlai again, and called, "Uncle."

Xie Yanlai saluted him: "I have seen Your Majesty."

Xiao Yu nodded: "Uncle, please take a seat."

Xie Yanlai said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

But he didn't sit down.

Chu Zhao took Xiao Yu's hand and asked, "Have you finished class?"

Eunuch Qi followed in and said with a smile, "I just finished a class. In a while, sir will come to teach calligraphy to Your Majesty."

Xiao Yu stretched out a hand: "I'll just write five more characters later."

Chu Zhao smiled and said, "Then I will also write five characters later, and let Mr. see which of us can write better, how about it?"

Xiao Yu nodded: "Okay."

Eunuch Qi joked aside: "I have read Chu Yuan's anthology, my lady, you should stop comparing yourself to Your Majesty."

Chu Zhao laughed, and looked at Eunuch Qi: "Eunuch Qi, have you seen that I have surrendered many times, are you afraid that I am no match for Ah Yu?"

She said, rolling up her sleeves.

"After the Wenhui, I have improved a lot. I am not afraid that I will not be able to compare with Ah Yu."

Xiao Yu smiled and clenched his small fists: "I'm not afraid that I won't be better than my sister."

After he finished speaking, he turned to look at Xie Yanlai.

"Uncle, you should also compare with Ayu."

Xie Yanlai said bluntly, "I can't write."

Xiao Yu had a surprised look on his face. In his knowledge, there is no one who can't write in the world, especially those from the Xie family. His uncle——

His other uncle, the son of the Xie family who was often talked about by his mother, was famous all over the world, learned and talented, and omnipotent.

"He can't compare with us." Chu Zhao said with a smile, and patted Xiao Yu's arm, "We will compare with your uncle after Ah Yu learns to ride and shoot."

After speaking, he raised his eyebrows and looked at Xie Yanlai.

Let's see what else he said, saying that he can't ride and shoot?

Xiao Yu also saw that Chu Zhao was making fun of his uncle.

In fact, the uncle that my mother often talked about was also very good at riding and shooting. My mother said that he was even better than my father.

But so what.

The child also followed Chu Zhao's smile.

Xie Yanlai looked at one big and one small smiling at him, rolled her eyes in her heart, and raised her hand: "Your Majesty, I'll go to work first."

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Xiao Yu and Chu Zhao to speak again, he turned around and walked out.

There was a low laugh coming from behind, how boring!He sneered in his heart, looked back, and saw that one big and one small were already crowded and sitting together in the hall. They didn't know what they said, and they laughed together.

This girl is really—innocent and worldly, ruthless and sentimental.

Whatever she did, it had nothing to do with him, Xie Yanlai looked away and strode away, but after walking not far, he stopped again, as if hesitating in deliberation, hesitantly moving.

The surrounding guards also turned a blind eye, allowing him to stand where he was like a stake.

……

……

Chu Zhao was talking and laughing with Xiao Yu for a while, when Eunuch Qi came to invite him to class, and Chu Zhao followed him as expected, and wrote five words for Mr. Qi to comment on.

She didn't lose to Xiao Yu on purpose, she used all her skills and was well received by her husband.

After the next homework started, Chu Zhao left Xiao Yu's study room, and just as he stepped out, he saw Xie Yanlai.

Chu Zhao was stunned for a moment, and hurried up to greet him: "Aren't you leaving? You've been waiting here for me? What's the matter?" Looking at the eunuchs around, "Why didn't you come and tell me?"

The eunuchs lowered their heads and wanted to say that the servants were guilty, but Xie Yanlai stopped them impatiently.

"Of course I don't let it go." He said, "I'm fine."

It’s nothing. What’s the matter? Chu Zhao looked at him and waved to the eunuchs. The eunuchs immediately receded like water, leaving only the two of them outside the hall.

Chu Zhao said softly, "Speak."

What are you doing driving people away? Xie Yanlai frowned as if he was going to say something shameful.

He took a step forward: "Chu Zhao, you should go and see your father."

Chu Zhao was slightly startled, looking at the young man.

Besides her, there are people who miss her father.

Chapter 28 Dare

From the moment Chu Zhao was reborn, he wanted to go back to Bianjun to see his father. One reason was to avoid Xiao Xun and the turmoil in the capital. More importantly, he wanted to meet his father before his death and accompany him.

Unexpectedly, she was not trapped by Xiao Xun in this life, she still became a queen, and she still entered the imperial city.

Once the imperial city has entered, it will be difficult to come and go freely.

"Did my father say something?" Chu Zhao asked softly, "What did Brother Zhang say?"

Xie Yanlai frowned: "Does it need to be said? Don't you know it all in your heart? You have been tossing around for so long, and now you still want me to deliver the letter, isn't it because of your father?"

Chu Zhao was silent.

"Don't you want to meet your father?" Xie Yan said, "Why do you want to be this queen?"

Why does she want to be this queen?Chu Zhao looked up at Xie Yanlai, couldn't help laughing, and pursed his lips again.

"I do, my father," she murmured.

In order to live, in order to prevent the tragedy of the previous life from happening again, in order to prevent his father from being held hostage by others, in order to allow his father to walk safely and decently in this life——

Xie Yanlai looked away: "Then go."

After that, he turned and walked away.

Chu Zhao stood where he was, watched him take two steps and three steps, and then turned back the next moment.

"You don't believe this one, you don't believe that one, you provoke this and that." He said angrily, "As a result, I dare not leave."

Chu Zhao chuckled, thought for a while, and said seriously, "I don't dare, but I feel that now—"

"It's inappropriate now? The country is unstable now?" Xie Yanlai sneered, "If Grand Tutor Deng and Mr. Xie lose their power, they will have nothing, so they will definitely maintain their power and the stability of the country."

Chu Zhao looked at him and hummed.

"As for that brat." Xie Yanlai said, "Even if he has power, Third Young Master Xie and Lord Taifu will protect him no matter how much they want each other to die."

Chu Zhao nodded again.

"Then what are you worried about?" Xie Yan said.

Chu Zhao looked at him and said frankly, "The position of queen."

Hearing this sentence, Xie Yanlai sneered, that's right, the position of empress, what kind of country is unstable, is because she is afraid that her empress position will be unstable, no matter whether it is Deng Yi or Xie Yanfang, they have been struggling for many years. It is reasonable and no surprise that they sit in court, only this little girl, Chu Zhao, took advantage of the chaos and took the opportunity to seek the position of queen——

Father is about to die, even with the Longwei army in hand, it will not be so easy to secure the position of queen.

How could she be willing to leave.

Xie Yanlai raised her hand in a salute: "I'm taking the liberty."

After saying that, he turned around and strode away.

Chu Zhao stood still and watched him go away, sighing softly.

She doesn't trust Deng Yi and Xie Yanfang. These two were very powerful in their previous lives. Compared with them, she is simply trying to seize the opportunity this time, otherwise she would not be qualified to talk about trust or distrust with these two.

The country is unstable, and Ah Yu is still young, so she worries that once she leaves, she will never come back.

Everything I just got will disappear in smoke, like a dream.

She has already participated in it, and if she loses it, her father and her, the people left by her father, and even those left by her mother will not die well.

For a moment, she turned around and walked slowly back to her study. Before she could sit down, footsteps sounded, and someone walked in heavily.

Chu Zhao turned his head and saw Xie Yanlai who had gone and returned.

Ah Le, who was waved away with his hand, didn't follow in, and stood outside pouted.

Chu Zhao looked at him, blinked, and asked, "What else can Ai Qing say?"

……

……

Xie Yanlai was angry and funny, he turned his face away just now, but he didn't expect to be thrown back by the girl when he came back, it was like a needle piercing the skin.

That's it.

The country is unstable, people are in panic, and she and her father are in such a situation, why are they arguing with her.

"You don't have to worry." He said, "Since you entrust Long Weijun to me, I will help you guard the position of queen. Go back and see your father."

Chu Zhao looked at him, stunned for a moment: "Ah Jiu, why are you so kind to me?"

What words!How could this be good for her!Xie Yanlai sneered: "There is no one else here, so there is no need to do this."

Chu Zhao laughed again: "There is no one else, it's the truth."

It's even more outrageous!

Xie Yanlai said coldly: "If you do this again, I will quit."

Chu Zhao hurriedly smiled and nodded: "Okay, I won't talk about it." She frowned again, smiled and pressed her heart, "I will keep it in my heart."

Xie Yanlai looked at her coldly.

Chu Zhao corrected his expression: "I know you are doing it for yourself."

That's about the same, Xie Yanlai snorted and turned to leave.

Chu Zhao saw that he didn't speak, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth again.

Xie Yanlai took two steps and then turned around.

The smile on Chu Zhao's lips disappeared immediately, and he looked at him seriously.

"Of course, compared to Xie San and Deng Yi, I am not trustworthy, and I may not be able to hold on to it, but." Xie Yanlai said lightly, looking at the girl, "Miss Afu, in order to return to the border county, After defrauding so many people, Ms. Chu was able to beat up her brother for a post at the Wangchun Garden Literature Society, and opened the Chuyuan Literature Society, and on the night of the turmoil, she was able to lead the little Highness through three stages and kill five generals, and put the little boy to death. Your Highness and yourself are on the throne—”

Chu Zhao looked at him, saying that, since rebirth, he has known her for the longest time.

Xie Yanlai looked at the girl.

"So, Miss Chu, you are so powerful, even if I don't keep your queen position, you can get it back yourself."

Chu Zhao looked at him and nodded slowly.

Xie Yanlai didn't speak any more, turned around and left.

Chu Zhao didn't speak, watching him step by step, two steps and three steps to the door, stepping over the threshold with one foot, and stopping with the other foot.

"I—" Xie Yanlai didn't turn her head, her voice came muffled, "I've always regretted not running back to see my mother right away."

At that time, when he was little, standing in the Xie family's mansion, he was afraid and nervous. The people and things he saw here were so gorgeous, and everyone told him that he would be able to live a good life in the future.

He was reluctant to part with his mother, but he thought that if he could make his mother live a good life here like him, so he stayed, two or three days a day——

When he finally couldn't bear it and ran out of Xie's house to find his mother, he only saw his mother's body.

If he didn't hesitate, and went back to find his mother immediately, would he be able to prevent his mother from committing suicide?

Even if he can't stop it, at least he can see his mother and tell her how much he misses her.

"There are some people and things in this world. Once lost, they are gone. No matter how much you get in the future, you can't make up for it."

After the boy finished speaking, he lifted his foot across the threshold and strode away.

Chu Zhao stood in the hall and watched, with tears falling from the corners of his eyes.
