Quick time travel: The system wants me to save the sick girl

Chapter 798 The Tyrant’s Mute Queen (8)

Lu Yan didn't want to stay here for too long, so he prepared to leave after eating snacks.

But I didn't want anyone to come.

"The Emperor has arrived."

Lu Yan stood up and stood aside. He originally wanted to leave, but now he stopped. He was always curious about the target of the strategy.

Look up at the door.

The emperor was dressed in a gorgeous dragon robe, with a golden crown on his head and sitting on a throne. He behaved in a dignified manner and looked majestic.

His appearance often gives people a sense of majesty and authority, making people dare not have the slightest blasphemous heart. The emperor's face is also often solemn and dignified, revealing an extraordinary temperament, as if he is the incarnation of a god, which makes people awe-inspiring.

It’s just that the other party always gives Lu Yan a familiar feeling.

Lu Yan knelt down and saluted first.

The emperor stepped forward and said, "Meet mother."

"The emperor is here, please take a seat. I am talking to the boy from the Shao family."

"Oh?" The emperor looked at Lu Yan who was still kneeling on the ground with interest and said, "Get up."

He had heard of Lu Yan and knew that he could not speak, so he did not really blame him. "But I am sorry for disturbing my mother."

"No, I'm glad you can come." The Queen Mother had a genuine smile on her face.

"It was my negligence."

"It's not your problem."

The two of them chatted quietly, while Lu Yan stood aside in silence.

"I am here to give my mother a birthday gift." After the emperor finished speaking, someone naturally brought the gift up. "This is a tribute."

"I think only my mother is worthy of using these things." The servant opened the box in his hand, and inside was neatly arranged pearls and emeralds.

There was also a slightly larger box next to it that was opened, and inside it were round oranges.

"This is a tangerine. It is not easy to preserve it, so I specially sent it to your mother to taste." The servant immediately delivered the thing to the emperor.

"Have a heart."

The Queen Mother asked someone to peel them open. "Zhaosu, come, take two and try them too."

Zhaosu is Lu Yan's courtesy name, and he was given a courtesy name after he came of age.

Lu Yan had no choice but to bow again.

"Okay, you can go back too." The Queen Mother finally asked Lu Yan to leave.

The emperor watched from the side without saying much, but just looked at Lu Yan's back as he left with something meaningful in his eyes.

I couldn’t hear the conversation between the two people afterwards. Lu Yan left here and returned to the Imperial Garden.

"Emperor, you are not young anymore. Have you ever thought about the position of the master of the harem?"

"Mother, I have my own plans."

Seeing him say that, the Queen Mother couldn't say much, she sighed and said, "Forget it, at least you still have two concubines."

But what the Queen Mother really wanted was the day when she could hold her grandson in her arms.

The emperor looked at the empress dowager without saying anything. His concubines were just decorations and he had never entered their rooms.

"I will leave first."

"Go, the banquet is about to begin." Fortunately, she waved her hand and let the emperor leave.

Lu Yan did not go back to the Imperial Garden immediately, but walked slowly on the road, looking like he didn't want to go back.

But he didn't know that his current appearance was seen by the people who followed him out. There were several very long leaves in the grass next to him.

Lu Yan was bored, so he pulled it off. He lowered his head and fiddled with it in his hands for a while, and a paper crane appeared in his hands.

"It's boring." Lu Yan thought as he threw the paper crane away and left.

"Your Majesty?" The person who spoke was the emperor's favorite, the chief eunuch Ziqing. Seeing that the emperor did not say anything and just looked at the man in front of him, he realized that the emperor was not saying anything.

"Nothing." Watching Lu Yan leave and disappear without a trace.

He then walked over and stopped where Lu Yan had just stopped. He looked down and saw the thousand paper cranes thrown on the ground.

As if possessed by a ghost, he put away the things and said, "Let's go."

When Lu Yan came back, he was holding two tangerines in his hand. It was obvious that they were given to him by the Queen Mother, although no one dared to take the tangerines in his hand.

Lu Yan put the oranges in his sleeves. The guards were not allowed to bring any into the palace, so Yan Feng stayed outside.

Lu Yan went over and stood with Jiahe. Jiahe was young and didn't know how to socialize. He just stood there dryly, which was in sharp contrast to Zhiqiu who was happily chatting and laughing with others next to him.

King Shao didn't notice any of this.

After arriving here, the prince left with the ministers. Now most of the people in the Imperial Garden are princes, nobles, young ladies and gentlemen.

Seeing that Jiahe was quiet and not socializing with others, Lu Yan walked with her to an empty corner.

"Are we really okay here?" Jiahe was a little worried.

At that time, Lu Yan shook his head to indicate that it was okay.

The banquet was about to begin, and they moved to the Hall of Supreme Harmony together.

On the left were officials and ministers, and on the right were their families. Lu Yan and Jiahe sat down in the assigned seats.

Basically, Lu Yan will have nothing to do from now on. After all, he is a person who can't speak now, and even if there is any opportunity that needs to be shown, he will not participate.

Because there are only a few people in the emperor's harem, even for the empress dowager's birthday, many beautiful women were arranged to perform.

Lu Yan was watching with great interest.

The man sitting in the first seat watched the performance below with boredom and drank a few more glasses without realizing it.

The banquet was really boring. Lu Yan was very interested at the beginning, but later on, after seeing so much of the same old thing, he lost interest.

He sneaked out of the Hall of Supreme Harmony while no one was paying attention.

The Imperial Garden is not far from Taihedian. Lu Yan plans to take a walk while there are few people around. The security in the palace is naturally tight.

It was impossible for Lu Yan to go wherever he wanted, but today the Imperial Garden was a place to entertain guests, so Lu Yan was still able to go for a walk, so no one stopped him along the way.

Without so many people, one can still see the flowers in full bloom in the Imperial Garden at night, which makes people feel happy.

"What are you looking at?" A voice suddenly sounded, scaring Lu Yan. He turned around and saw the emperor standing behind him.

Lu Yan immediately knelt down to salute, but didn't expect to be stopped. "Get up, there are only two of us here."

Lu Yan looked behind him and indeed, there was no one following him, and he could faintly smell alcohol on the other person.

"What are you looking at?" he asked again.

Lu Yan looked up at him and replied, "Flowers."

The emperor suddenly raised his eyebrows and said, "So you can talk."

Lu Yan nodded, but he couldn't utter a complete sentence.

Looking at the other person's expression, he could probably guess that the other person probably couldn't speak a complete sentence, so he didn't delve into the issue any further.

The two looked at each other in silence for a moment. Lu Yan couldn't speak, and the emperor didn't know what to say. For a moment, Lu Yan just wanted to leave.

But the other person was standing there and he couldn't speak, so he didn't know how to express himself.
