Stop acting, Your Majesty, the queen knows you're faking it

Chapter 31

The situation in Dajing has been chaotic since the start of the battle for the heir apparent in the previous dynasty.

The nobles of the aristocratic families formed groups based on various in-laws and teacher-student relationships, and then supported their favorite princes because of the same interests and goals, and surrounded them to fight.

After a few years of dragging it down, not only the vitality of the inner court was severely injured, but countless losses were suffered, and the surrounding neighbors who were eyeing the fertile land of the Central Plains also invaded several times, occupying a lot of territory in Dajing.

It was not until Yan Chujing came to power that he managed to stabilize the situation.He reached an agreement with those aristocratic families who didn't want their country to be ruined and lost their power, and persuaded them to put down their hatred for the time being and unite with the outside world to regain the lost territory.

But this superficial harmony only lasted until the world was at peace.

As soon as Chi Xinian finished his last victory, those old foxes with a lot of thoughts started thinking about dividing power again, and they kept arguing with him about various court affairs all day long.

He thought that although it was not the time to officially tear his face apart, it was time to put on the agenda to shake the mountain and kill the chicken to make an example of the monkey.

It's just... can the queen lead the Chi family to stand behind him unswervingly?
Yan Chujing was very uncertain.

Because no matter how much outsiders misunderstood his love for the queen and their affection, he knew in his heart that he and the queen had no relationship at all.She will probably think from the perspective of the Chi family and not offend anyone for him.

"How do I convince her to help? Tsk..." Yan Chujing pressed the corner of his mouth in annoyance, and glanced at a delicate food box that had been prepared a long time ago.

He had inquired that when the queen was fighting in the southwest, she liked to eat the snacks there.

So today he specially ordered someone to make a box, and he was going to send it to her when he was done.

Thinking about it, he quietly glanced at his bony hands again, and muttered to himself: "Look at her yesterday, she really likes these hands. If... touch her, will she agree?"

However, such an idea only appeared for a moment, and was quickly rejected by him - if that was the case, wouldn't he be very embarrassed?

After all, he is also the emperor, how could he serve the women in the harem?Besides, if you touch her, it's uncertain whether you can take it back tonight...

Yan Chujing struggled for a moment, and finally retracted his hands back into his sleeves.

He thought that this matter might have to be discussed in the long term.

But time waits for no one, and before he can come up with a suitable solution, Li Fusheng, who was guarding the door, suddenly entered in a hurry and reported: "Your Majesty, the empress brought a box of pastries to ask for an interview, and she said yes... she heard that you have worked hard." , I’m here to visit you.”

"Visit me? Just her?" Yan Chujing raised his eyebrows in surprise, without even thinking about it, he said, "She must have other purposes."

After yesterday's incident, he had a new understanding of his queen.

This woman can not only see through his disguise, but also find the right time to use his calculations to achieve her own goals.The only thing that made him feel a little more at ease was that her calculations were harmless to him for the time being.

Perhaps, in her heart... she still has some sincerity towards him, the emperor?
While Yan Chujing's thoughts turned slightly, Li Fusheng who got his nod also invited Chi Xinian into the hall.

As he said, as soon as Chi Xinian came up, he claimed that he felt sorry for him and had been busy all day, so he came to see him specially.

Facing her words, although Yan Chujing was speechless, he naturally put on a smile on his face: "I didn't expect the queen to love me so much, and she even brought me something to eat. I'm very pleased."
