My concubine is in trouble again

Chapter 35
On June 26, the mighty royal guard of honor set off from the palace to escape the summer heat.

Yuan Yuan sat in a carriage with Yan Huai, poked his little head out of the carriage window with excitement, and said in admiration, "Wow! Look at Yan Shenzhi, there are so many people, are they all here to see us off?"

Yan Huai stretched out her hand and pulled the little girl back to sit beside her, "Don't poke your head, be careful about hurting."

"Oh." Yuanyuan made a perfunctory sound without distraction, and then led him to discuss the itinerary on the road with great interest.

"Yan Shenzhi, how long will it take us to get to the palace?" She would not like to be stuck in the carriage all the time.

"About two days." Yan Huai grabbed Yuan Yuan's restless little hand and stuffed a piece of candied fruit into her mouth.

"Then we have to be in the carriage for two days? Isn't that boring? What should I do if I have to take a bath and sleep at night?" Yuan Yuan suddenly became annoyed, thinking that he was going to sleep in the carriage, the candied fruit in his mouth was not sweet up.

"Don't worry, I won't ask you to sleep in the carriage. You can arrive at the official post before dark, and you can go on your way early tomorrow morning." Yan Huai replied while drinking warm tea.

"What is Guanyi?" Yuan Yuan heard this word for the first time, and looked at Yan Huai with a confused face.

"The post station opened by the government is a place for rest and accommodation in the middle of passing documents, official exchanges and transportation."

Yan Huai was afraid that she wouldn't understand, just wanted to use the inn on Zhuque Street as an example, only to hear that the little girl had already understood it by herself.

"Is it just an inn? But only for officials, isn't it?"

"Well, if you feel bored, Gu can teach you how to read." Seeing her stretching out her little hand to play with the candied fruit on the plate, Yan Huai made a small suggestion aloud.

"Don't!" Yuan Yuan was so frightened that she withdrew her little hand that was about to move, and finally she could come out to play, so she didn't want to study!

Startled by Yan Huai, the little girl leaned over the window to look at the passing scenery, ate a few snacks, and then fell into Yan Huai's arms and dozed off.

Afraid that the carriage would bump her, Yan Huai held her firmly in his arms, put down the book in his hand, and fanned her with a small fan instead.

Even on the march to the palace, the royal style did not drop because of this, and the standard of lunch was still the same.

When Yuan Yuan was awakened by Tsing Yi, even though the little girl was still blurred, her nose was the first to smell the delicious smell of roast chicken.

"Hmm, it smells so good!" The little girl went straight to the long table after seeing her target, and Tsing Yi was so scared that she hurriedly followed her.

"Miss Xinxin, don't worry, let's go to the empress, your place is next to the empress."

Sending people to Empress Wen, Yuan Yuan took Empress Wen's hand and said delicately, "Auntie, I'm hungry."

"Is it hard for Xinxin to ride in a carriage?" Empress Wen asked the little girl to sit beside her and served her a bowl of soup.

The palaces sit separately, and Empress Wen naturally sits with her son, so their meals are served with the spoons of Hua Yuchu.

After finishing lunch contentedly, Yuan Yuan pulled Empress Wen coquettishly and said, "Auntie, riding in a carriage is so boring, when can we get to the palace?"

Empress Wen knew that the little girl was lively and active, so she would definitely not be able to sit still in the carriage, but she could only comfort her, "I'll be there in the future, please bear with me, okay?"

"If you're bored, come to Auntie's carriage, and Auntie will tell you a story, okay?"

"Okay, can auntie tell me the story of my parents? I want to hear it." Yuan Yuan seldom quarreled with his old man for his parents, because his grandfather said that his parents died for the country, and they were heroes. You don't have to talk about it all the time, just remember it in your heart.

When mentioning the deceased friend, Empress Wen was in a daze for a moment. If Ayun and Yuanjing were still alive, they would definitely be happier than they are now.

Seeing that Empress Wen didn't answer her, she gently pulled down her sleeve and called out, "Auntie?"

"Huh?" Empress Wen came back to her senses and rubbed the little Jiujiu on her head, "Okay, if I want to hear from Auntie, I will tell you, go, go to Auntie's carriage."

Take the little girl to her carriage and sit down. Empress Wen ordered some pastries and fruit tea to be prepared. Before she started telling the story of her parents to the little girl, there was a salute sound outside the carriage. It was Emperor Yan who came over. up.

Lifting the curtain, Emperor Yan's face appeared in the carriage. Empress Wen saluted with her original wish, "I have seen Your Majesty." / "I have seen Your Majesty Uncle."

"Wan'er, you don't need to be polite." Emperor Yan waved his hands towards the two and sat down on the main seat.

Looking at the snacks placed on the small table, he asked casually, "Xinxin is not full for lunch?"

Empress Wen picked up the teapot on the table and poured a cup of fruit tea for the two of them and replied in a warm voice, "Xinxin was bored at Shenzhi's side in the morning, so my concubine asked her to come here. By the way, Ayun and Yuanjing's Something to relieve her boredom."

Speaking of the little girl's parents, Emperor Yan was also guilty. If it wasn't for Dayan, they would not have led the army to attack the barbarians less than a year after the little girl was born, and ended up sacrificing their lives for the country.

"That's good, my heart is getting bigger, it's time to get to know my parents." Yandi said, then took Yuan Yuan to him and sat down.

Yuan Yuan took a piece of peach cake and took a bite, then asked Emperor Yan curiously, "Does your majesty know my parents?"

"Of course I do. Your parents are the best friends of me and your aunt. Xinxin, do you want uncle to tell you the story of your parents?" Emperor Yan said to her affectionately.

"Yes! I really want to hear it." Yuan Yuan looked up at Emperor Yan with anticipation on his face.

Under her looking up, Emperor Yan began to recall the good old days, "I met your parents on the martial arts field when I was 13 years old. Your father is a loyal and brave son who loves martial arts. Your mother is your grandfather who gave your father The fiancée we have set up since we were young, just like you and Shen Zhi, childhood sweethearts, both of them are extremely talented in martial arts, I lost the competition with them, and later I often sparred with them, and became friends who talked about everything good friend."

"Can my parents also ride horses and shoot arrows? They are so good!" Hearing that his parents had defeated Emperor Yan, Yuan Yuan couldn't help admiring his parents.

When it comes to Yuanjing and Lingyun, Emperor Yan also said in an honorable tone, "Back then your parents led 1 elite soldiers to repel more than [-] barbarians, and made countless military achievements for my Great Yan. Yan is a well-deserved hero!"

"Uncle Your Majesty, since my parents are so powerful, why do they still die?"

The word death is very strange and scary to Yuan Yuan, but when she heard Emperor Yan speak so highly of her parents, she couldn't understand that such a powerful parent of hers would die.

Emperor Yan didn't expect that she would ask this question, and for a moment he didn't know how to answer it. Empress Wen glanced at him to explain her original wish.

"Xinxin, your father and mother died for the people of Dayan, in order to protect Dayan from being invaded by barbarians, and so that the people of Dayan would no longer be displaced, they resolutely chose to sacrifice themselves in exchange for the people to live."
