No. 1 Girl in the Imperial City

Chapter 211 Warm vs Irritable (Part [-])
After bidding farewell to Princess Changling, the two turned around and walked outside the palace of the Empress Dowager.

The little emperor had already been sent to the imperial study room to study in the imperial study, and he was very disappointed that he couldn't pester his aunt to take him out of the palace.

"Zhifei." Empress Dowager Zhu followed up with someone from behind, and the two looked at each other and stopped, waiting for her to come.

Empress Dowager Zhu's complexion was even uglier than that in the hall just now. Obviously, a lot of resentment had indeed accumulated these days.

Xie Yan said lightly: "Sister-in-law, what's the matter?"

Empress Dowager Zhu glanced at Luo Junyao who was standing next to him, paused for a moment before softly snorting and said, "It's nothing serious, I just want to ask the Regent, when can I go back to the palace?"

These days, Empress Dowager Zhu has never left the palace of the Empress Dowager.

No matter how nice it sounds from the outside, the fact is that she is under house arrest.

Although it was said on the surface that it was the Empress Dowager who asked her to wait on her illness, but if Xie Yan hadn't cooperated with the Empress Dowager who was lying on the bed and couldn't even walk, could she be restricted as the Empress Dowager?
Although it is impossible to get out of the palace of the Empress Dowager, some news can still be passed in.

In the past half a month, the Luo family and the Regent's Palace have arranged the marriage arbitrarily, Zhu Jin was thrown out of the Luo family by Xie Yan, and Xie Yan chose Xie Cheng to read as a companion, all these things Empress Dowager Zhu couldn't bear to hear I want to vomit blood.

Therefore, facing Xie Yan, she couldn't show her gentle and modest appearance in the past.

Xie Yan said: "Sister-in-law Huang has really worked hard these days. Now that there is sister-in-law Changling in the palace, sister-in-law can go back to rest at any time."

Empress Dowager Zhu sneered in her heart, could it be that Xie Xianyu was not there before?

But at this moment, she was in no mood to argue about these anymore, she just wanted to leave here and return to her palace before making a long-term plan.

So Empress Dowager Zhu didn't say anything more, just passed the two of them and walked towards the gate of the bedroom.

Looking at her back, Luo Junyao slightly frowned and said, "Is your relationship with the Queen Mother... so bad?"

Empress Dowager Zhu is Xie Cheng's biological mother. This identity is really a headache.Unless she really did something treasonous or Xie Yan really planned to usurp the throne, how could it really be difficult to take her?

Even if Xie Yan didn't do anything to Empress Dowager Zhu, if she died of the cold, others would suspect Xie Yan.

Xie Yan took her hand and walked out, with a calm expression, "Don't worry about Yaoyao, she can't make any waves."

Luo Jun shook his head and said with a smile: "His Royal Highness, you will suffer if you underestimate women."

Xie Yan shook his head and said, "I never underestimate women."

After a little thought, Luo Junyao understood what Xie Yan meant: he never looked down on women, but he really didn't think much of Empress Dowager Zhu.

This is really... Xie Yan respected the late emperor very much, but he looked down on the late emperor's empress.

Luo Junyao suddenly remembered that she had overheard the private conversation between Empress Dowager Zhu and Xie Yan in Chenyou Palace on the night of the Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet, and she blinked at him with bright eyes.

Xie Yan helplessly raised his hand and tapped her head lightly, "Don't think about it."

"..." How do you know what I'm thinking about?
After leaving the palace, the two visited Princess Taihua's mansion again, thanked Princess Taihua for her hard work these days, and then went back to the mansion hand in hand.

Perhaps it was because of the newly-married Prince Gu Nian and the concubine, no matter whether it was the officials of the court, the subordinates of the Zhen Guojun or even the people in the palace, they had no intention of disturbing the two of them at all.

Even though she was the new concubine, Luo Junyao was not in a hurry to seize the power of the palace, so he simply took Xie Yan to visit his new home.

The wedding just ended yesterday, and all the decorations in the palace have not been removed.Compared with what Luo Junyao saw when he came to the palace before, it was indeed much more lively and lively.

The entire Regent's Mansion is actually divided into two parts, Jingyuan and other places.

This other place includes large vacant yards in the front and back yards.The Chu Palace was built according to the highest standards of the prince. At the beginning, Gaozu may have thought that his nephew had few relatives. In the future, if there are many children and grandchildren, he can make up for some regrets.If you have more children, you will naturally need a larger place to live in, so there are more than a dozen places in the backyard of the Chu Palace for family members to live in.

It's a pity that heaven failed to fulfill people's wishes. Xie Yan has been in his thirties, and the Prince Regent's Mansion finally welcomed a second master.

Luo Junyao felt that it was not easy to be in charge of the palace and the servants. There were large areas of houses that were unoccupied and had to be taken care of constantly to make them ready for occupants at any time.You should know that houses that have been vacant for a long time are more likely to be damaged, and wooden buildings that lack popularity are also prone to gloomy and damp.

But Luo Junyao took Xie Yan around and found that the entire palace was indeed well taken care of.

It can be seen that the stewards and servants of the Prince Regent's Mansion are very dedicated.

Hearing Luo Junyao's praise, Xie Yan said: "Yaoyao thinks it's good, I will reward them more later."

Luo Jun shook his head and took this matter down in his heart.

The scenery of the entire palace is very good, but Luo Junyao still prefers the newly decorated Jingyuan.

After visiting the garden and teasing the cranes and peacocks, Luo Junyao felt a little tired and pulled Xie Yan to sit on the swing to bask in the sun.

It's also one of her favorite spots in the whole garden.

The faint setting sun shone on the two of them, Xie Yan sat on the swing, leaning on the back of the chair, reading a book.However, Luo Junyao was already lying on his side on the swing, occupying most of the space by himself.She rested her head on Xie Yan's lap and fell into a deep sleep.

He was already a little tired, but after walking out the door and dragging Xie Yan around the palace for a long time, Luo Junyao was already tired.

"My lord." Lan Yin came over holding a thin cloak, and lowered her voice respectfully.

Xie Yan put the book by his side, took the cloak and covered Luo Junyao with his hand.

It was only then that Lan Yin resigned, and walked lightly like a Tathagata.

Luo Junyao actually didn't die of sleep, she opened her eyes in a daze but didn't want to move.

Xie Yan stretched out his hand to brush away the strands of hair scattered around her cheeks and tucked it behind her ears, and gently stroked her back with one hand and asked, "Do you want to go into the room and go to sleep?"

Luo Jun shook his head, "Basking in the sun."

Xie Yan chuckled lightly, nodded and said, "Okay, go to sleep."

She stretched out her hand to cover her eyes again. Although the evening sun was already very soft, it was still a little dazzling.

Luo Junyao hummed, raised his hand and grabbed his sleeve, and slowly fell asleep again amidst the slight and rhythmic shaking of the swing.

Xie Yan also picked up the book to read again, Luo Junyao grabbed one of his sleeves and he flipped through the book with one hand.

It wasn't until the sun was setting and the temperature was getting cooler that Xie Yan got up and gently pulled his sleeves out of her hands.Then he leaned over and picked up the sleeping man from the swing, and turned around to go to the main courtyard where they lived.

In the Regent's Palace, the newlyweds had a quiet and warm afternoon.

On the other hand, King Mu, who was lying on the bed in Prince Mu An's mansion, was in a state of rage all day long, so that even Concubine Fan, who had always been his favorite, did not dare to go forward.

Until dinner time, King Mu was still scolding Xie Yan for being unfilial.

"Bastard! Rebel!"

Concubine Fan couldn't help shaking her hands while holding the food and wanted to feed him, and she looked at the old and embarrassed man in front of her with a little impatience and sadness in her eyes.

She used to think that although she came from a humble background, she was lucky enough to find a husband who was good to her and could become her reliance.Who knew, after being proud of himself for half a lifetime, it was only when he was old that he realized that this man was unreliable at all!

"My lord..." Concubine Fan sighed in her heart, and said in a low voice, "Stop scolding, let's eat. You haven't eaten much all day..."

"What to eat!" King Mu knocked over the bowl in Concubine Fan's hand, and the sound of the porcelain falling to the ground was crisp and harsh.

King Mu said angrily: "I won't eat it! You have someone tell that Nizi! Let him come to see this king immediately!"

When the son gets married, he can't accept the newcomer's kneeling as a high hall, and that's all. On the second day of the wedding, he doesn't even serve tea to the new daughter-in-law.

Didn't Xie Yan tell everyone clearly that he doesn't recognize him as his father?
This evil!Unfilial son!

"What's the matter?" Princess Mu's voice came from outside the door, and Concubine Fan was inexplicably relieved when she saw Princess Mu.

"Princess." Concubine Fan hurriedly got up to greet her.

Concubine Mu's expression was still weak as usual, she glanced lightly at Concubine Fan, but Concubine Fan felt a chill in her heart for some reason.

"Who is the prince angry with?" Princess Mu asked softly.

King Mu sneered and said, "Who else could it be? It's not that evil son you gave birth to!"

Concubine Mu frowned slightly, and said softly: "What are you talking about, my lord, knowing that you have always been the most filial."

"..." King Mu suddenly raised his head to look at Princess Mu who was sitting beside his bed, as if it was the first time to look at her seriously.

Princess Mu waved her hand to signal the girl to bring another meal, while persuading her, "Don't be angry, your lord, it's not good for your health. Do you blame Zhifei for not bringing his wife to serve you tea?"

King Mu narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at Princess Mu suspiciously, and said, "What do you think?"

"What's there to be angry about?" Princess Mu lowered her eyes and smiled to herself: "We don't miss that cup of daughter-in-law's tea, besides...his daughter-in-law has already served tea to the one in the palace. The saying is not It is said that it is better to raise grace than to be born, and the one in the palace doesn't have a son now, so why should we argue with her about this?"

King Mu's face became even weirder. Although Yao Yun didn't go out very often these years, King Mu still knew to some extent that she didn't like the Empress Dowager at all.

"What's the matter with you?" King Mu stared at Princess Mu and said, this was the first time Yao Yun had contradicted him for so many years.

Concubine Mu sighed softly, raised her hand to gently pat his heaving heart and said, "I was thinking... After all, Ajin is the one who inherits the title of the prince. We also live in this mansion now. Ah Heng is a filial piety. If we know what we want to do, let’s leave it alone. If the prince can’t see it, let’s just ignore him, and save him from getting angry with the prince.”

Although King Mu really didn't think of Xie Yan as his son, he was extremely angry when he heard what Princess Mu said, "Bastard! What nonsense are you talking about? Are you crazy!"

Concubine Mu frowned slightly, her brows seemed to be filled with grievance, "How can the prince say that about me? Isn't it for the sake of the prince? The prince doesn't like to know what's wrong, and he always makes you angry. You can't see him." What's wrong? After all, we want Ah Cheng to take care of him in the old age. The prince just thought of Ah Heng at the beginning, but now he insists on knowing that he must come back to fulfill his filial piety... People like us have always been the eldest son to do his filial piety in front of his respect. The prince always asks Zhifei to come back, and outsiders think that it is Ah Jin who has not served him wholeheartedly, so it will make Ah Jin feel colder?"

"you!"

Mu Wang pointed at the woman in front of him and was speechless for a while.

Princess Mu's words are not completely unreasonable. If Xie Yan runs to Prince Mu'an's residence every day, will Xie Jin, the elder brother and master of the palace, have to bow and salute every day as a dwarf?
It's fine if there is no family separation. Although it is not stated clearly, the brothers under King Mu have actually been separated.

At least, Xie Yan had already been separated.

King Mu still asks his son, who has not given away almost a penny, to come back to fulfill his filial piety, isn't he just accusing the son of his family of being unfilial?

But it was because there was some truth in it that King Mu felt that Princess Mu had taken the wrong medicine.

While the two were talking, the girl had already served clean food again.

Concubine Mu then stood up, picked up the handkerchief and gently wiped her fingertips, while telling Concubine Fan, "Serve the prince to eat, if the prince doesn't want to eat, you don't eat either."

Concubine Fan's face changed slightly, and King Mu's face also sank, "Yao Yun!"

Concubine Mu smiled and said: "What is the lord doing, I am also for the lord's body. The lord loves the side concubine so much, he can't bear to watch her go hungry, right? Even if the lord doesn't love her, he also loves Ah Heng and you Your grandson and great-grandson?"

After finishing speaking, Princess Mu turned around and walked out holding the girl's hand.

There was silence in the room, King Mu and Concubine Fan looked at each other.

They all understood that Yao Yun had really changed.

　Hello~~ New January, everyone~
　　Let me explain~ I will not wash Princess Mu, and the mother and son will not reconcile.Princess Mu's behavior was not caused by King Mu drugging her, it was her own choice.It's fine for one or two years, if she doesn't exist for 30 years, she can reconcile when she wakes up.And... this sister's awakening posture is also very strange~^_^
