With the system traveling through time, the queen always becomes a mother painlessly

"Your Highness, the Queen Mother came here very early and has been waiting outside for half an hour."

Nan Yan woke up instantly, turned around and frowned and asked, "Why didn't the Queen Mother wake me up earlier when she arrived?"

"The Queen Mother said that you worked hard yesterday and she would not allow the servants to disturb your sleep."

"My mother is so thoughtful. I have kept her waiting for so long." Nan Yan opened the quilt and got out of bed. "Send someone in to help me wash and dress. Go and tell my mother that I will be out right away."

"Yes, ma'am."

Several palace maids came out one after another and helped Nan Yan to wash and dress.

If there was no important banquet, Nan Yan would always dress simply. But even though it was simple, it still took her about two quarters of an hour.

When Nan Yan went out, the empress dowager was drinking tea in the pavilion in the yard, with two white and chubby little guys who looked like boys sitting next to her.

Although it is autumn now, the scenery of Changle Palace is still beautiful, with the blooming flowers unique to autumn making people happy at first sight.

Le Xuan saw Nan Yan first, his eyes lit up, "Mother, Mother..."

Le Ci and the Queen Mother turned their gazes to Nan Yan almost at the same time.

The Queen Mother forced a smile, which seemed a little forced.

"Yan'er is here. I asked someone to prepare some breakfast for you. Come and eat quickly."

Nan Yan walked over and bowed, "Thank you, mother."

"Why are you going through all this formality?" The Queen Mother said disapprovingly, "Just sit down and have your meal!"

Le Ci also echoed, "Quickly sit down and eat, mother. The dishes served by the Empress Dowager are all your favorites."

Nan Yan looked up and saw that they were indeed all her favorite meals.

The Queen Mother also has good intentions.

She sat up on the cushioned stone bench, picked up her chopsticks and started eating.

Nan Yan knew that the Queen Mother came to ask her about closing the city gates and imposing martial law.

But she was concerned that Nan Yan might feel uncomfortable in her stomach because she didn't eat in the morning, so she didn't ask and just waited for Nan Yan to eat slowly.

Nan Yan silently quickened her eating pace, and when she was full she asked the palace maid to take the food away.

She looked at the Queen Mother, "Mother, I know why you came so early."

She was so busy and anxious yesterday that she forgot to tell the Queen Mother. It must be that the Queen Mother heard the news herself.

"The capital is under martial law because Prince Chen may be planning a rebellion."

"What?" The Queen Mother's voice rose a few notes when she heard the excitement. Her hands trembled slightly. "Prince Chen, how could Prince Chen rebel at this time? I knew he was restless, but I didn't expect him to rebel when the Shang Dynasty was under foreign attack. It's really a sin against the royal family!"

She slammed her hands on the stone table in anger.

The Queen Mother is old now, and can't stand the ups and downs of her emotions. Nan Yan quickly comforted her: "Mother, it's not worth getting angry at them. Don't get angry and hurt yourself."

"Grandmother, are you okay?"

"Grandmother, please calm down."

The two naughty little guys gently patted the Queen Mother's back to comfort her.

Le Ci: "Grandmother, don't worry. If the uncle wants to drive us away, Ci'er will definitely protect you."

"What a good grandson of the Imperial Grandmother."

The two little guys amused the empress dowager and she calmed down a lot and looked better.

"Don't worry, mother. The emperor has long known about Prince Chen's evil ambitions and has already arranged everything. He is just waiting for him to make a move and then catch him in the trap."

After hearing what Nan Yan said, the empress dowager's uneasy heart calmed down a lot.

Soon, officials in the capital also learned about Shang Yuan’s rebellion from various channels.

On the other hand, after Yuan Anchen received the news that Shang Yuan had arrived in the capital and would attack the city soon, he ordered the Yuan soldiers to be ready to attack Shang at any time.

August 25th, a bright sunny day.

Shang Yuan and Yuan Anchen sent out their troops at the same time, and the people of Da Shang were in a panic.

Now their Shang Dynasty is at war with the Yuan Dynasty, and they have a clear advantage. They are still waiting for the Shang Dynasty to defeat the Yuan Dynasty, but they did not expect that their King Chen would rebel and directly attack the capital.

Emperor Shang Yue was the patron saint in the hearts of the people of Da Shang. Now that they knew Shang Yuan was rebelling, they began to attack him one after another, wishing to drown him with their spit.

The Empress Dowager Nanyan, the Grand Tutor and the Prime Minister were all above the palace gate, waiting for the soldiers to report on the war situation.

When the empress dowager heard the soldier say that Shang Yuan had retreated, her legs went weak and she almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, Nan Yan was quick to grab her.

"Mother, are you okay?" Nan Yan looked worried.

"It's okay, I just suddenly felt my legs a little weak."

"Mother, let me help you sit down on a chair nearby and rest for a while."

Looking at the calm Nan Yan, the Queen Mother was deeply impressed. She felt that Queen Yan was many times better than her in every aspect.

Such a queen is truly a blessing to the Shang Dynasty.

The capital city is guarded by Qianshan Wuyou, and the defense is impregnable. It is not something that Shang Yuan can take down in a short time.

Qianshan and Wuyou received a message from Shang Yue, asking them to defend the capital to the death and that reinforcements would come to help. Now they were waiting for the reinforcements.

As for the border, the affairs in the capital did not bother Shang Yue at all, so he would naturally not relax the border war, and the Yuan Dynasty naturally did not succeed.

But Yuan Anchen himself did not think that he would defeat the Shang Dynasty in one go. What he wanted was to grind them down, slowly. Once the news of Shang Yuan's rebellion came, they would surely lose their composure!

When Shang Yuan attacked the city for the fourth time, he felt that the time had come and it was time to capture the capital and ascend the throne.

During this battle, Qianshan, who had been guarding the capital and not fighting, led his troops out of the city to fight. Shang Yuan soon realized that things were not simple.

He instructed the Marquis of Zhenxi who was standing beside him, "Uncle, always have someone pay attention to the surrounding situation."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The two sides fought each other. Qianshan was at a disadvantage. When Shangyuan's people thought they were going to succeed, reinforcements arrived.

"Your Highness, Your Highness, something bad has happened. General Lu Wei has arrived with tens of thousands of soldiers." A soldier ran to Shang Yuan in panic.

Shang Yuan's expression changed instantly.

Lu Wei was once a powerful general under Ruan Yufeng, but he was sent to take over Liucheng.

Liucheng is in a dangerous position with many mountains. There are many bandits in it, each occupying a mountaintop, and the situation is extremely chaotic.

It took Lu Wei only five years to recruit the bandits and form a powerful army. He has been in Liucheng for all these years.

Liucheng is not close to the capital, so we should not rush to the capital at this time.

Unless... unless he got the news in advance and brought his troops to the capital.

No wonder the city gates were not opened to welcome the battle in the past few days. It turned out that they were waiting for reinforcements.

Shang Yue, ah Shang Yue, after all my calculations, I still underestimated you.

"Your Highness, please leave quickly. Lu Wei and his men are coming to kill us." Marquis Zhenxi shouted nervously.

"withdraw."

Shang Yuan had a sinister and frightening look on his face. He rode his horse and fled under the protection of everyone. He led more than 100,000 horses and fled to the mountains outside the capital.

Lu Wei and his men chased after him.
