Qing Yan

According to the rule of the Great Zhou Dynasty, when important ministers or their imperial orders passed away, the imperial court would bestow euphemisms to show their virtues and glorify their families.The difference is that when important ministers die, it is written by the emperor himself, or by a respected and respected clan that the emperor trusts; when the imperial order dies, it is written by the master of the harem himself.

Duan Wenlu is the just wife of the United Kingdom, and the Duke of the state ranks among the top grades. The Jing family has been in charge of soldiers for generations and entrusted with important tasks by the royal family, which can be called the humerus of important ministers.His wife has passed away, and she is also the direct sister of Empress Dowager Duan, so she is worthy of the empress dowager Duan's own writing and writing as a sacrifice both in public and private.

But it happened to be such an important person, but the Empress Dowager Duan only sent a chief internal supervisor to bring a corresponding sacrifice to his spirit to reward him. come.

None of the civil and military men in the court have white eyes. They have been in the court for a long time, and all of them are shrewd!A discerning person has long guessed——

The first emperor had a new funeral, the new emperor was only a slender boy, the master was young and his mother was strong, and all major affairs in the court were in the hands of the Empress Dowager Duan.Does this move mean that the political situation in Dazhou will be reshuffled?Thinking of this, everyone can't help but feel a sudden: just a few years after the birthday, is there going to be another big change?

Thinking about it again, it doesn't seem right.Isn't the Queen Mother and the British Duchess a direct sister?Although the queen mother has never heard of any close contacts since she married the former emperor who was the East Palace, but she has never heard of any discord!Could it be that because of Mrs. Duan's death, the Jing family lost the trust of the Queen Mother?

Someone slapped his thigh and got it!

The first wife of Prince Jingzi Qiao of the United Kingdom died less than ten years after marrying into the Jing family, right?This Mrs. Duan, who is now dead, has been married to the Jing family for less than ten years... Oops!Is there something else hidden here?Does the British government have any secrets that outsiders don't know?

Those who are interested have already begun to think about what will happen in the future when Jing Ziqiao gets married again.What's more, the patriarchs of the major aristocratic families avoided Jing Ziqiao internally and externally, fearing that he would marry their own daughters who were of the right age and then propose marriage.

For the past few days, Jing Ziqiao was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.

Mrs. Duan's health has been poor since she married into the British government, especially after giving birth to her daughter Jing Yan, she became weaker and weaker, and eventually she was exhausted.As soon as his lovely wife left, Jing Ziqiao seemed to have been stretched, and his children were young, and just like that, he became a motherless child again.Every night in the dead of night, Jing Ziqiao couldn't help crying when thinking of his wife's life.

Unfortunately, misfortunes never come singly, rumors and rumors abounded, and his colleagues in the court wanted to avoid him.Rumors only stop at wise men, Jing Ziqiao understands this truth.This is not the scariest thing, the scariest thing is the Queen Mother's attitude towards the Jing family.

When his wife was alive, it seemed that the sisterhood with Empress Dowager Duan was very weak.He had explored it, but his wife didn't say anything, only said: "Yuan'er married into the heavenly family, how can I be as comfortable as I am? She must have her reasons."

But Jing Ziqiao knew it: the lords of the harem in the past dynasties always borrowed from their natal family, or took care of their natal family, and there was absolutely no reason to ignore them.

After his wife passed away, Empress Dowager Duan didn't even say a word of mourning, which shows that she hated her very much.It's just that I don't know why I hate it so much.They are obviously sisters of the same mother!What resentment can't be uncovered?

Jing Ziqiao is the current head of the Jing family, and the whole family and the future of the Jing family are all in his hands. Under this situation, he can't ignore it. He has to win the trust of the powerful queen mother for the Jing family. , no matter how low his stature is made, he must do this.

So, he took the young Jing Yan by the hand and went into the palace to see the queen mother and the emperor.

The side hall is empty, anyway, Yu Wenzhe thinks so.There are quite a few court ladies and inner eunuchs serving, but each of them dare not show their atmosphere, and the air is condensed like winter.

Yu Wenzhe had long been tired of seeing those obedient attendants, her big round eyes turned away, and first fell on the face of Empress Dowager Duan.The back of Mrs. Duan was as sinking as water, and even the steaming tea beside her seemed unable to melt the coldness on her face.

Is the queen mother in a bad mood?Yu Wenzhe thought.Sometimes the queen mother is like this, she doesn't say a word, I really don't know what she is thinking.

Yu Wenzhe turned his face away again, and glanced at the British Duke sitting respectfully on the corner of the chair.

"When looking at people, look at the face first, and the eyes reveal their five-pointed thoughts."Yu Wenzhe stared at Jing Ziqiao's face, thinking silently of the art of knowing people that his mother had taught her.

His complexion is gloomy, and the corners of his mouth droop, which shows the sadness and depression in his heart; his eyes are dull, which shows that he is preoccupied...

Yu Wenzhe came to the conclusion of his own observation silently, and the little man couldn't help but sigh secretly: This British Duke is her uncle, um, of course, before the death of her aunt, Mrs. Duan.The so-called "three major tragedies in life" are mother loss in childhood, wife loss in middle age, and child loss in old age.No wonder he was so sad...

Whoops!If we talk about misery, isn't it even more pitiful for the little cousin of the Jing family who lost her mother when she was young?

Yu Wenzhe secretly blamed himself for caring too little about that silent little cousin.

Speaking of the little cousin of the Jing family, when the Duke of England led her to salute, he caught Yu Wenzhe's attention——

Such a small person, as if carved from powder and jade, but still wearing a plain skirt, like a snow doll.She doesn't look like four or five years old, does she?But she is so obedient, following her father's salute meticulously, her little face is sullen like a grown-up... all of this made Yu Wenzhe amazed.

Yu Wenzhe has never seen this little cousin, she has been in the palace for a long time, and has hardly seen the outside world, except for the civil and military servants of the previous dynasty, she is the father, queen, mother and queen of the harem.After the death of the first emperor, she could only see her mother.I haven't seen any of my peers, and those who are a little closer are all little maids and eunuchs; but they are all afraid of her, and they will only bow down when they see her. Yu Wenzhe feels that life is boring.

Today, she finally met a little person who was younger than her, and she felt a faint sense of pride that "I am an older child".

While Yu Wenzhe was looking at the Jing family's little cousin, the little Jing Yan had already noticed her.Although her father told her thousands of times along the way, "Be good! Don't look directly at the queen mother and the emperor", but what can a five-year-old child know?Her curiosity is still so strong.

Between the salutes and the conversation between his father and the Queen Mother, the little Jing Yan couldn't help but secretly glanced at Yu Wenzhe several times——

This little brother in a yellow robe and a golden crown is so pretty!Xiao Jingyan sighed in his heart.Temporarily dilute the grief of losing his mother.

He has red lips and white teeth, big eyes, and a straight nose... When we first met, Xiao Jingyan had a great impression of Yu Wenzhe.The same brother, this brother is more than a hundred times more beautiful than the brother who only knows how to wield knives and guns every day and is like a monkey.

girl!I am your real brother!The young Jing Heng had already passed out from crying.

Everyone likes to see beautiful things, even immature children are not immune.The more Xiao Jingyan looked at Yu Wenzhe, the more he felt like a person in a painting, with good clothes and demeanor.It's a pity that she is still too young at the moment, her reading is limited, her choice of words and sentences are even more limited, and the only words that can be used to describe her are "really beautiful".

She was so fascinated by it that she completely forgot the rules, and her eyes became bolder, which happened to match Yu Wenzhe's eyes on her.The two little men were startled.

Yu Wenzhe smiled first, with curved eyebrows and corners of his mouth.Jing Yan stared blankly, only thinking that the little brother at the moment was even more handsome than just now.

Looking at the pink and tender face of the little white dumpling, Yu Wenzhe was in a particularly good mood.With a thought, she jumped off the seat, took a plate of snacks next to her, and walked to Jing Yan's seat with big strides under the astonished gazes of Empress Dowager Duan and Jing Ziqiao.

"I'll eat this for you!" Yu Wenzhe held up a plate of sweet-scented osmanthus cake in front of Jing Yan's eyes, like offering a treasure, "Osmanthus cake, sweet! It's delicious!"

Jing Yan opened his mouth wide in shock, dumbfounded, not knowing how to react.She subconsciously looked at her father sitting next to her.

Jing Ziqiao saw the sincerity on the emperor's face at a glance, her thoughts changed quickly, she hurriedly got up, bowed and saluted, "Thank you, Your Majesty, on behalf of my daughter!"

Just took the plate of sweet-scented osmanthus cake.

Yu Wenzhe looked down at his empty hands, and at the beautiful sister in front of him who hadn't reacted from the astonishment, feeling a little disappointed: Why doesn't the beautiful sister try it?Is it in the way of national ceremony?

Mrs. Duan, who was sitting upright at the top, looked at the actions and expressions of the three people expressionlessly, feeling a little sad in her heart.She felt sorry for her daughter, not only had to raise her as a man, but also had no playmates since she was a child.

Although the British prince is naughty, the Jing family has been loyal and good for several generations, and they are in charge of the army, so it is really not suitable for him to be alienated.And this little girl from the Jing family, although she was born by Duan Wenlu, looks very much like Duan Wenlu, but she looks dumb and silly, not like those daughters of aristocratic families. annoying.

Thinking of this, Empress Dowager Duan felt a little relieved, and put down her thoughts of suppressing the Jing family for the time being.However, she always likes to hold the power in her hands. She still needs to see how sincere Jing Ziqiao is for the future of the Jing family.

The seven-year-old Yu Wenzhe didn't know the twists and turns in her mother's heart. "The way of imperial servants" was still too far away for her.All her thoughts are now completely attracted by this beautiful younger sister in front of her, so that she just stands in front of Jing Yan's seat, looking at her eagerly, reluctant to leave.

Jing Ziqiao felt embarrassed when the emperor was in such a state.No matter how young the emperor was, he was still a venerable, so he didn't dare to sit down.

Seeing that her daughter was still at a loss, Jing Ziqiao hurriedly scolded: "Yan'er, come down soon, thank you Your Majesty for the gift!"

Hearing his father's scolding, Jing Yan hurriedly jumped off the chair.She was small and had short legs, so she almost fell down when she jumped down like this, but fortunately Yu Wenzhe caught her small body quickly with his sharp eyes and hands.

"Thank you... Thank you!" Jing Yan puffed his cheeks and whispered in a tender voice.

Yu Wenzhe grinned: "Your name is Yan'er?"

"Yes." Jing Yan agreed in a low voice.

"Jing Yan?"

"Ah."

Because this little brother is so beautiful and a stranger, Jing Yan couldn't help but feel a little shy, and lowered his head slightly.

Yu Wenzhe didn't take it seriously, and took her white, baby-fat little hand, and stroked it in her palm.

"Is it the word 'inkstone'?" Yu Wenzhe asked.

The first word my father taught me to recognize was my name.Therefore, Jing Yan, written by Yu Wenzhe, naturally recognized it.

"Yes." Jing Yan whispered.

The beautiful sister finally said a few more words, and Yu Wenzhe felt a great sense of accomplishment.She loves the way she speaks, and loves her name.The so-called "a person lives up to his name", this sister must be a person with a firm mind and a good character when she grows up, right?

Faintly, little Yu Wenzhe already had expectations in his heart.

She took Jing Yan's little hand, and said in a warm voice: "It's no fun here, I'll take you to the Royal Garden to play, okay?"
