This queen is not too curly

Chapter 73
Since then, Chen Lingchen has become a frequent visitor to Wangshu Palace.

Every day when night fell, he would arrive with a blank expression on his face, and then, as if by magic, someone would find out a bunch of inside folds, forcing Yan Yuan to read them one by one.

Yan Yuan felt very headache about this.

She felt as if she had traveled back to the time when she was young and was forced to practice calligraphy by her mother.

At that time, all she could do was to ride horses and shoot arrows, and she copied a thousand-character essay crookedly, and she always tried to get away with it.

At that time, her gentle mother from a scholarly family would turn into a tigress and roar with the greatest momentum in her life.

After the yelling, the mother will cry, from sleepless nights because of her future, looking forward to the miserable life of being rejected by her husband as an ignorant idiot after marrying her, and then being driven back to the Marquis Mansion .

That was probably her first memory of a headache.

Now she has changed to a different person in front of her desk, but the pressure has not diminished.

Of course Chen Lingchen didn't cry, he just spread his face and slept peacefully on the chair in front of her.

Occasionally when he was half asleep and half awake, he opened his blindfolded eyes and looked at Yan Yuan aimlessly, his eyes full of disgust.

Chen Lingshen: It's useless to be the queen's trash.

Yan Yuan: ...

Yan Yuan buried her head in the study hard.

While studying hard, I couldn't help but wonder.

Where on earth did he get so many introverts? Is there really so much right and wrong in this palace?
The days are like this day by day.

Chen Ling and Shen went to Wangshu Palace every night to work as a supervisor, and the rumors in the palace became more and more intense.

It is rumored that the empress of the current dynasty worshiped the concubine Mei of the previous dynasty as her backer because she was not favored.

Whenever the emperor fell asleep in the dead of night, the empress would tear off her face, revealing the face of the previous concubine Mei, easily confusing the emperor's mind.

Yan Yuan: "..."

As God can testify, she is clearly reading at night, okay?

And does the dog emperor look a little confused?
It's obvious that she is being tortured by the dog emperor, okay?
……

Since then, rumors have slowly grown in the harem like weeds.The court ladies and eunuchs who came and went have already started to walk around Wangshu Palace.

Chen Lingshen let the rumors go, and still chose to go to Wangshu Palace every day in order to get sucked in. Presumably, he had some special intentions.

Yan Yuan was not sure what Chu Lingchen's purpose was.

But she knew that this should be an errand sent by her new boss.

That being the case, she was also happy to lie flat.

She took time out to visit the plum garden during the day and found the food box that had been placed by the pond.

The snacks in the food box were all empty, even a few plates disappeared, and the whole box was empty.

If it is a beast, it will not be interested in porcelain plates.

Yan Yuan knew it in her heart.

Before night fell, she prepared some cakes and fruits and sent them over.

On the third day, she prepared some lotus cakes that babies and children could eat, and sent them to the pond together with some cloth, sewing, and scissors.

Back and forth like this.

One by one.

When the maids and eunuchs on the road saw her, they all wished they could grow eight legs and run away, for fear that they would be tainted with ghostly aura and swallowed into their stomachs after running a little.

Ruan Zhu saw all this in his eyes, and hesitated to speak: "Mother, why are you bothering..."

There have always been legends about worshiping concubines in Meiyuan.In the past, some unfavored concubines would secretly offer some fruit offerings, praying for the emperor to grant some favor.

She didn't believe it at first.

If this is the case, the plum garden will be renamed Marriage Temple.

But now the facts speak louder than words. Since their mother went to the Plum Garden, His Majesty has really been going to Wangshu Palace every night, and she has always been dreaming of her.

Could it be that Concubine Mei really appeared?
Ruan Zhu's imagination was full of thoughts, and he was entangled in pain.

At that time, Yan Yuan was adding lotus cakes to the food box.

A few days ago, some cheeses from the pastoral areas in the north entered the palace, and each palace was given a small box. Yan Yuan didn't want to eat that box, so she also put it in the food box.

That thing is sour and sweet, it is estimated that the baby should love it very much.

Looking at her focused expression, Ruan Zhu couldn't bear it any longer, summoned up his courage and said, "Your Majesty, the Holy Majesty has come here every night. Your Majesty is beautiful, but there is no need to..."

Yan Yuan raised her head: "Huh?"

Ruan Zhu hesitated to speak: "Crooked ways are not a long-term solution."

Yan Yuan realized after a while that Ruan Zhu was referring to the fact that she sent food boxes to Meiyuan every day, and she suddenly laughed: "Why, you also believe this?"

Ruan Zhu opened his mouth: "But His Majesty does..."

Yan Yuan said: "Do you think the emperor seems to be fascinated by this palace?"

It's clearly a face that owes 800 million taels of silver, right?
Ruan Zhu shook his head.

This is true, every time the emperor came back to Wangshu Palace, he would either bring official business or memorials, and he had never entered the empress's bedroom, and only stayed in the study for two full hours every night.

If there are ghosts and ghosts, they should also be ghosts who are diligent in politics and love the people.

Ruan Zhu was still struggling: "But ma'am, those rumors..."

Yan Yuan said lightly: "Wait a little longer."

Just a second.

Let the rumors simmer a little longer.

Not all rumors are born overnight.

Just like a flower blooming on an ice sheet, someone must have planted a seed under the ice years ago.

The seeds will not germinate immediately, but will take root slowly, and will break out of the ground in the next year or even the year after the preparation is made, and then a flower will bloom at the fastest speed.

The fact that the Queen was possessed by Concubine Mei was too absurd.

It cannot be the flower that finally blooms.

So still need to wait.

……

The days passed peacefully.

There are only seven days left until Yan Yuan's bedtime.

In the afternoon, Yan Yuan took the food box to Meiyuan, but found that some snacks were missed on the way, so she turned back to Wangshu Palace.When I returned to Meiyuan, it was already a little later than usual.

The plum garden is still overgrown with weeds, and a small passage has been stepped on the path leading to the pond.

Yan Yuan pushed aside the weeds and walked slowly, when she suddenly heard a "plop" sound from the side of the pond, followed by the sound of something struggling and slapping the ground.

"Who?"

Yan Yuan instinctively opened her mouth.

The voice became even more flustered.

Yan Yuan quickened her pace, walked to the pond in a few steps, and found that the ground cage by the pond had been torn out, and the remains of small fish and shrimps were scattered on the stones.

At this moment, the small fish and shrimps were still beating wildly, and there was a panicked rustling sound from the grass in the distance, as if someone was rushing through the weeds and fleeing in embarrassment.

Yan Yuan asked, "Who's there?"

The next moment, all sounds stopped abruptly.

Everything is as quiet as ever.

Standing on the rock, Yan Yuan looked into the distance, only seeing the tall weeds that were as tall as a person in the yard, and the broken walls at the end of the weeds, but there was nothing else.

But Yan Yuan knew that it was still there.

It just hid in the wild grass motionless.

Yan Yuan lowered her head, stared at the food box in her hand, thought for a while and said:

"You...don't have to be afraid."

"I'm not going to grab you by force."

"I forgot to bring some food today, so I came late."

There was still no sound in the weeds, the autumn wind mixed with the stench, and everything was so quiet that it seemed to have rotted and died.

Yan Yuan wasn't sure if it heard it, but she just said lightly to herself:
"The cheese cake from the past few days cannot be stored for a long time, and should be eaten as soon as possible."

"It's just cheesecake, I'm afraid it's not enough to supplement nutrition."

"Just fish and shrimp is not a long-term solution."

Facing the pile of weeds, Yan Yuan slowed down her voice and guided the thing to think.

"Recently there have been many rumors that the Plum Garden is haunted by ghosts, and ghost boys have come to the world. I think that after a while, the Department of Internal Affairs will start to clean up the Plum Garden to break the rumors."

"Once they enter the Plum Garden, the first thing they will do is to burn the weeds. At that time, it may be difficult to hunt some small fish and shrimp."

"Do you know what the scariest thing is?"

Yan Yuan said softly: "People don't simply starve to death."

There was silence in the haystack.

Even the wind has stopped.

Apparently it wasn't ready.

Yan Yuan gently put down the food box in her hand, then picked up the small fish and shrimps that were too late to harvest on the rocks, gathered them into a pile, and put them in the wild grass farther away.

After all this was done, she turned around and started walking back.

Yan Yuan didn't walk slowly, she even pushed aside the weeds as she walked.

step.

two steps.

Three steps.

There was a slight rustling sound behind her.

The sound melted into the wind, and it sounded like the sound of the wind blowing dry grass, and it stopped soon.

Yan Yuan stopped in her tracks.

Something behind her was watching her, and those gazes were projected on her back, making her fingertips feel strangely hot.

There is more than one person?
Yan Yuan was secretly surprised, but she didn't look back after all.

"I am the queen of the court, and I am enough to protect you."

"I will come again at night three days later, I hope you have made up your mind by then. After all..."

Yan Yuan was silent for a while, and the comments written on the inner fold that day appeared in her mind.

She said slowly: "What a child."

After Yan Yuan finished speaking, she left the place without looking back.

Naturally, he didn't see what happened behind him.

In the weeds by the pond, a pair of dirty hands quietly pushed aside a line of weeds.

It was a small girl.

She was wearing ragged clothes, with a dying fish hanging from her waist, her face was covered with mud, her hands were tightly clutching the weeds, and her eyes were staring at the direction Yan Yuan left.

The evening wind blows.

The fish at her waist flicked its tail slightly.

The girl walked lightly into the depths of the wild grass with bare feet, and said in a low voice towards a dry well inside: "Sister Suzuyu, that person...she said she was the queen..."

……

At that time, Yan Yuan had already walked out of the plum garden.

She still had a replacement food box in her hand, she was supposed to look back at Shu Gong directly, but she didn't want to see an unexpected battle at the door.

"Meet the Empress Empress Jin An."

On the barren palace road at the entrance of the plum garden, more than a dozen palace people gathered at some point.

They stood in a row at the door, led by Aunt Liangyu from the Palace of Kindness, and all of them looked at Yan Yuan with piercing eyes, their eyes brimming with hypocritical respect.

"The servant has disturbed the queen's leisure time, and I ask the queen to forgive me."

Aunt Liangyu stepped forward and saluted Yan Yuan again.

Her sharp eyes fell on the food box in Yan Yuan's hand, with a clear expression on her face.Aunt Liangyu said indifferently: "This servant obeys the order of the Empress Dowager, and invites the Empress Dowager to go to the Palace of Kindness."

Queen Mother?

A trace of surprise flashed in Yan Yuan's heart.

She heard the empress dowager's terrible secret in Rongyuan before, and she thought that there would be a catastrophe... However, the empress dowager seemed to turn the page and didn't pursue it.

After Rong Yuan bestowed a bath, she never saw the Queen Mother again.

Are you planning to settle accounts after autumn?

Chen Ling Shen, does he know?
Yan Yuan's thoughts fluctuated, and her face remained unchanged, she said: "Ben Gong's skirt is dirty, can aunt go back to Wangshu Palace with Ben Gong, and go later?"

As long as they arrive at Wangshu Palace, they can try their best to get Ruan Zhu to notify Chen Lingchen.

Unfortunately, Aunt Liangyu was unmoved.

She didn't even raise the corner of her eyes, she just took a step back, spread her hands in a "please" gesture, and said coldly: "Empress, please."

As soon as she finished speaking, the palace people behind her acted instantly, cutting off Yan Yuanluo's way of life.

"My lady, please."

The expressionless palace people spoke in unison.

Yan Yuan: "..."

Good job, capitalized dog fights people's power.

Yan Yuan clenched her fists tightly, her eyes darkened.

It's just a few burly palace ladies, if she really wants to escape by force, it's still easy.It's just that once you expose your skills, there will be endless troubles in the future.

Yan Yuan narrowed her eyes, the anger in her eyes gradually extinguished.

"it is good."

She curled her lips and answered meekly.

……

Aunt Liangyu led the way, and Yan Yuan obediently followed behind her.In this way, he followed her all the way into the gate of the Palace of Kindness, walked through the silent corridor, and finally stopped in front of the main hall of the Palace of Kindness.

"My lady, please."

Aunt Liangyu said slowly behind Yan Yuan.

The main hall door slowly opened.

On the main seat in the hall, the figure of the Empress Dowager was sitting upright.

Standing at the door, Yan Yuan felt a coolness creeping into her body from the soles of her feet. Even before the sun set, her fingertips were already feeling cool.

"Your Majesty, please come to the palace."

Aunt Liangyu's urging voice sounded.

At this time, the sun has moved westward, which is about Shen time.

This meant that there was still about an hour before Chen Lingshen arrived at Wangshu Palace as usual.

An hour is too long.

Enough is a foregone conclusion.

Yan Yuan suddenly felt a little regretful, shouldn't she change his employer easily, let alone bet her life on the same son of a bitch.

Really are……

Living Bodhisattvas are not slaughtered twice.

"Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager is still waiting for you."

Yan Yuan held her breath, stepped into the hall, and the door of the hall closed slowly behind her.

Her vision suddenly became dim, and Yan Yuan couldn't see clearly what was in front of her.She collected herself, found a suitable position, and knelt down to salute: "The concubine pays respects to the queen mother."

It is best for the dog emperor to arrive within an hour.

Yan Yuan knelt on the ground, sighing in her heart.

Otherwise he's ready to clean up and get another guy!
