Qing Yan

"Get up now." The Empress Dowager Duan said lightly.

Jing Yan respectfully agreed, leaning on the thick carpet and wanted to get up, but there was a "buzz" in her head, and she staggered slightly, almost dizzy.

Yun Rui's gaze never left her for a moment, seeing her swaying, subconsciously rushed over to support her.With a tightening of his hand, he realized that his hand was being held tightly by Queen Mother Duan.

Empress Dowager Duan glanced at Yun Rui's eager face, and then glanced at Jing Yan's pale and thin face, feeling pity in her heart, and secretly sighed that good fortune is tricking people.

Leaning on the side of the embroidered pier, Jing Yan sat down.She has read a lot of books since she was a child, and she also knows a thing or two about medicine, and she knows that this is caused by the exhaustion of energy and blood.But at this moment when the building is about to collapse, how can we take care of these?

"What does the queen mother think of the son of Xiang Wang?" Jing Yan asked eagerly.It's about the country and the country, she dare not be ambiguous.

Empress Dowager Duan still looked at Yun Rui, wondering what she was thinking.

"That kid looks simple and honest..."

Prime Minister Yu Wenguang is Zhe'er's uncle, but in his thirties, his son is already ten years old.Poor her Zhe'er passed away without leaving any descendants... Thinking of this, Empress Dowager Duan felt very sad.

She forced herself to suppress her grief, took a deep breath, and looked at Jing Yan: "Zhe'er...Zhe'er has been married to you for three years, so hasn't he mentioned...behind...the afterlife?"

After finishing speaking, Empress Dowager Duan's tongue became bitter again.

Jing Yan paused, feeling very sad in his heart.She looked at Yun Rui in a daze, and said after a while: "Your Majesty... Your Majesty mentioned..."

Empress Dowager Duan understood it in her heart, and nodded slightly: "That's it."

Jing Yan still didn't dare to be very sure: "The queen mother means..."

Empress Dowager Duan said impatiently: "Aren't you naturally smart?"

Jing Yan's face was embarrassed by her sneering words: "But it's up to the queen mother to make the decision."

"Come on less!" Empress Dowager Duan said coldly, "You have even taken the crown prince to the palace, and the crown prince's clothes are so well prepared, what do you want the Ai family to do?"

Jing Yan's complexion changed slightly, and he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty... Your Majesty once said in the past, 'Prince Xiaohuai was wronged too much back then, this country should have been his seat, and I will return the government to his successor after a hundred years.'"

Empress Dowager Duan snorted coldly: "What's he supposed to sit on'? This world is for those who are capable! If Ai's family thought like him back then... hey! Don't mention it!"

As she spoke, she straightened Yunrui's skirt, looked at that fair little face, and those bright eyes staring at her, and said slowly: "Although this is the case, the country of this great week is too big after all. Emperors |Zu and Emperor Gaozu laid down the seat. Naturally, the descendants of Tai|Zu Zu came to sit. Who is Yu Wenguang? I don't know where Wang is yet!"

Jing Yan shivered slightly.She naturally knows all the past events in the early years of this dynasty——

Wu Chenglie Wang Yuwenyue is the younger brother of Tai|Zu Yuwentai. He rebelled with Tai|Zu and overthrew the tyranny of the Yang family in the previous dynasty.Unexpectedly, he died young.Tai | Zu regretted that he bestowed the posthumous title "Chenglie" on behalf of "Wu Chenglie King".He also recited his great achievements. In addition to inheriting the title of King of Wu to his eldest son Yu Wenxin, he also gave his concubine Yu Wenyi the title of Duke Xiangguo.

Unexpectedly, during Gao Zu's reign of the state, Yu Wenxin, relying on his great achievements, actually questioned Gao Zu's qualifications to rule the world as a woman, so he tried to replace him.Fortunately, Gaozu Yingming discovered that he had a heart of disobedience, so he took the initiative to strike, and cooperated with his concubine Yu Wenyi to wipe out Yu Wenxin and his accomplices in one fell swoop.After this battle, Yu Wenyi made a great achievement and was awarded the title of "Xiangwang" by Gaozu, which has been passed down to this day by descendants.

Because of this incident, Yu Wenyi's reputation was mixed. The praisers praised him for "killing relatives righteously and helping the emperor Gaozu", while the detractors mostly said in private, saying that he "coveted the power of his brother for a long time, and he was unwilling to let him down, so he simply sold it. Brother seeks glory".

No matter what the evaluation is, the words "fraternal cannibalism" cannot escape after all.However, during the hundred years since the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the "fraternal killing" of the royal family and the clan seemed to be an inescapable curse, which would happen every few years. It can be traced back to folk rumors that Gao Zu forced Tai | The change of the Taihe Palace with oneself.This is the first hidden matter of the royal family of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and no one can explain it clearly.In addition, when Gaozu was young, he used the body of a woman to conquer the world, and he was admired by all the people; Overwhelmed by history, rarely mentioned.

However, it is also an indisputable fact that the royal family of the Great Zhou Dynasty suffered bloodshed and many incidents over the past century, resulting in few descendants of the clan.

Thinking of these past events, Jing Yan's mind sank, and she couldn't help but look at Yun Rui with pity: This little child, Tong, is going to be involved in this turbulent court, and she doesn't know what is waiting for her.

Yun Rui was still ignorant and ignorant.She listened to the conversation between the Empress Dowager Duan and Jing Yan, half-understood, her little brain was no longer enough.

"Gollum—"

Embarrassed, Yun Rui subconsciously stroked his belly.

Empress Dowager Duan chuckled: "Are you hungry?"

Yun Rui was so ashamed that her cheeks became hot.

Empress Dowager Duan didn't take it seriously, "Children are growing up, so they are naturally hungry."

After she finished speaking, she turned her head to the maid beside her and said, "Yujue, tell the small kitchen to prepare some food quickly... Well, the crystal cake should be made more delicate, children love sweets; put more purple potato soup Some milk; don't make the fish soup so soft, children don't like it..."

She mentioned seven or eight kinds of food in one breath, and even explained the specific cooking methods clearly.

Jing Yan was secretly startled when he heard this: Aren't all these kinds of food Zhe likes to eat?

So... also good.

It should be said that this is the best.

If he can get the wholehearted love of his mother, Ah Rui's future journey will be smoother.

Yu Jue nodded "Yes", remembering each one in his heart.She changed her mind and said, "Master, why don't you also have some court food?"

Empress Dowager Duan chattered about Zhe'er's favorite food, and seeing Yun Rui's sober little face, her heart felt a little relieved.

"Forget it, let's have a bowl of japonica rice and red dates porridge."

Yu Jue showed joy, and hurriedly ran to the small kitchen to talk, thinking that this little master Rui is indeed a wonderful person, and it would be best if the Queen Mother could eat something at this moment.

For a while, all kinds of food were presented like flowing water, colorful, fried, stewed, main dishes and snacks, porridge, soup and desserts... Yunrui's tongue was full of saliva, and his belly was screaming "gululu" for nothing.

"A Rui, try this." Empress Dowager Duan picked up a chopstick of crystal cake and put it on Yun Rui's plate.

Yun Rui looked at the crystal clear pastry, looked up at Empress Dowager Duan, and then at Jing Yan, without moving.In this strange environment, only Jing Yan was familiar to her.

"Eat quickly!" Jing Yan said with a smile.

Yun Rui was indeed hungry, and it would be overwhelming to fill his stomach right now.So she stopped talking and concentrated on the food on the plate.

Empress Dowager Duan saw that she was eating happily, and her depressed mood was also relieved.

"You didn't eat Chaoshi, did you?" Empress Dowager Duan glanced at Jing Yan who was sitting upright, "Let's eat something with Ai's family."

"Yes." Jing Yan agreed, bowed, and sat down under Empress Dowager Duan.

Jing Yan eats very politely, eating slowly and slowly.

Yun Rui gobbled it up for a while, then raised his head from the food, just in time to see Jing Yan scooping up a spoonful of porridge from the jade bowl, putting it into Tan's mouth, chewing and swallowing silently.

She looks so pretty when she eats...

Yun Rui stared blankly, thinking obsessively.She suddenly realized that what she was eating was really rough, as if she hadn't eaten in a few lifetimes, like... gluttonous.However, these eat taste really good.

Thinking that she was raised in a small official's family since she was a child, so she naturally didn't have the opportunity to taste the delicious food in the palace.

Yun Rui secretly compared his eating appearance with Jing Yan's, and felt that he was like a big toad in the well, while Jing Yan was like a phoenix high above him, so he couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief, feeling very discouraged.

"Why don't you eat?" A loving voice sounded.

Yun Rui raised his head in surprise, and met the concerned eyes of the previous Empress Dowager.

Empress Dowager Duan picked up a chopsticks of purple potato soup for her, "Does Ah Rui like these?"

Feeling the concern from the empress dowager, Yun Rui's dislike for her embarrassment to Jing Yan changed a little bit, so she blushed and muttered: "Um... like..."

She knew that her indecent eating habits had long been caught by the queen mother, and she was slightly embarrassed.

Empress Dowager Duan smiled relievedly, "Ah Rui is to be the emperor. The emperor is to do big things, so don't stick to small details."

Yes, why bother to stick to the details?

Yun Rui immediately had a good impression of the Queen Mother, so he smiled sweetly: "Thank you Queen Mother!"

Empress Dowager Duan was stunned, her eyes darkened, and then she said seriously: "A Rui should call me Queen Mother."

mother?

Yun Rui paused.

So... isn't this Queen Mother becoming her own mother?

She hadn't seen her biological mother since she was a child.After being adopted by Yun Shiduo, the adoptive mother, Yun Shiduo's wife, also passed away before she could remember.Therefore, in Yun Rui's memory, there has never been a family member called "mother".

Now, this woman with a beautiful face, luxurious and elegant clothes wants to call her "mother queen"...

Yun Rui didn't know what to do.

Jing Yan heard and stopped chopsticks.

She took a little look at the situation of the old and the young in front of her, and she understood.

"A Rui, the queen mother is your brother's mother and also your aunt. You have become the emperor, so you should respect her as the 'mother queen'."

Yun Rui tilted his head and thought for a while, since Jing Yan asked him to call him that, there must be such a reason, right?Anyway, I don't know what a "mother" should be like, so it's not wrong to call my aunt a "mother queen", right?

"Mother...mother queen..." She kept her voice low and finally called out.

Before he finished speaking, his eyes darkened, his body warmed up, and he was surrounded by an embrace with a faint medicinal fragrance.

Just as Yun Rui was about to struggle, she suddenly felt her face wet——

Empress Dowager Duan's tears dripped down her heart, and rolled down her cheeks along the jet-black hair...

Yun Rui's heart softened, and she let her hug her body tightly.
