In the quiet side room of the Jiedu Mansion, Yan had just had lunch and she didn't eat much.

Recently, some of it are due to Zhang Wenbiao's rebellion. She stayed in the small temple of her mansion all day long, sitting on a mat, reading scriptures, and not moving much for ten or half a month without leaving. She has a bad appetite.

The dishes had been removed, and there was a cup of warm tea and several dishes of dessert on the table. She didn't eat the things, so she took a sip of tea, then picked up the Book of Songs next to her, and looked at the chessboard on the table while reading the book of books. It took a long time to pick up a piece and fall down.

In this small temple, Zhou Baoquan, who was only nine years old, could enter and exit at will, and the maids and eunuchs stood far away and dared not disturb her.

People are discussing that after the death of the king of nature, the queen looked very lonely and was addicted to reflection from time to time. The original noble young woman had a little bit of Buddhist meaning at this time and seemed even more holy.

She was wearing a yellow robe and a jade ribbon. Although this outfit was just a regular dress, it was also generous and luxurious, which made people look awe. This was something that the royal family could wear.

The robe is noble and imposing. The only disadvantage is that it almost covers up the lines of women's body. It is better to have a suitable cut ordinary skirt that can set off a woman's figure.

Soon, an eunuch walked into the hall in small steps, walked straight to the upper throne as if no one was around, bent down next to the Empress Dowager and said something, probably about Changsha Prefecture and Lingnan.

The Queen Mother didn't speak, but just gently placed a white chess clipped with her fingertips in an empty space on the chessboard.

"Mother--" At this time, the door of the Buddhist temple was suddenly opened, and the sunlight that had not been seen for a long time suddenly shone in, and it looked particularly shining on the Queen Mother's fair skin.

"Mother, sister is married!" Zhou Baoquan wore a changed-sized robe and rushed in like a wind. Several small eunuchs trotted behind him, looking worried.

"I know!" After touching Zhou Baoquan's hair, Yan said with a smile: "Your sister has become the queen, and it doesn't mean to delay her!"

"But, several masters said that Lingnan took advantage of his in-laws and relatives to occupy several prefectures and counties in our Chu State, which is very abominable!" Zhou Baoquan said angrily.

Then he widened his eyes and looked at his mother, hoping to get an accurate answer. After all, in his heart, the mother is the most trustworthy one.

"Quan'er, you must have your own judgment on these things. Everyone has their own likes and dislikes. What he said may not be true, because this is a voice from his heart!"

"Quan'er, you are still young, don't believe anyone's words. Just listen and remember it in your heart, and then slowly verify it. Those ministers, whether it is your master or your minister, are all as cunning as foxes. They not only have the world of Chu, but also their own family and relatives and friends in their hearts!"

Nodding seriously, Zhou Baoquan pretended to be mature and said, "I have already remembered it clearly and will do it according to my mother's words!"

"Have you worked hard for this morning's class?" Yan then smiled and said softly.

"I'm very hardworking, and the master praised me!"

"Then let's have a meal!"

Soon, a few plates of side dishes were presented. The mother and son were having a great time eating, as if they had forgotten the pain of losing their father not long ago.

"My son is leaving!" After resting for half an hour at noon, Zhou Baoquan had to participate in government affairs again. Of course, it was Jiangmen who was dealing with it. He was just listening. It would be of great benefit to his future power.

"Report to the Empress Dowager, the envoy of the Tang Kingdom asked for a meeting!" said a young eunuch.

"Which Tang Kingdom?" the queen mother said lazily with her red lips.

"The Tang Kingdom of Lingnan!"

"not see!"

"He said he brought the princess's letter..."

"Let him come in!!!" sighed and the queen mother said helplessly.

"My memory, Sun Liang, the envoy of Tang State, please see the Empress Dowager of Chu!" A middle-aged man bowed, looking forty or fifty years old, and his accent sounded very familiar.

"Is the envoy from Langzhou?" The empress dowager frowned and said suspiciously.

"That's right!" Sun Liang smiled and said, "At that time, the pseudo-Tang invaded the Tang Kingdom, and there were frequent wars, so the whole family moved to Lingnan. I was fortunate to be with the Empress Dowager and were in the same hometown as the Empress Dowager!"

"Oh!" Yan responded, opened the letter, looked carefully, and saw that everything was fine, then he smiled and said, "The wedding of your emperor and the princess of our country is a perfect match. He is born with a pair of people! I have never rushed there, which is a pity!"

"However, why should your country, our country and even your in-laws occupy the land in the three states and not return it?"

"The Empress Dowager clearly understands that our country's troops are sent north to meet the request of your country and to quell the Zhang Wenbiao rebellion. The three states occupied should be rewarded for their work. How can there be a reason for invasion?"

Sun Liang refused to give in and refuted the Queen Mother's words with a smile.

"What else is there to do with the noble envoy?" Yan's mood immediately became bad without taking advantage of the words. His smile flew away and he said with a face.

"After the entrusted by my lord, save the Empress Dowager from the fire and water."

"It's funny!" Even though Yan had a good temper, he was suddenly angry, and his pretty face was full of anger: "What else is there to be uneasy in Chu State besides your country? As long as your country withdraws from the three states, I will naturally be safe and sound!"

"Zhao Kuangyin of the Central Plains has already quelled the Shangdang Rebellion, and Li Chongjin of Huainan is in danger. He has already freed up his hands to look at the world. Li Jing of the pseudo-Tang Dynasty, although he is no longer ambitious, he is still ambitious and eyeing Chu. Although Nanping is small, it is very similar to Langzhou. It is coming every day and night, and tens of thousands of elite soldiers cannot be underestimated."

"Not to mention, our Tang Dynasty occupied the three states, especially Changsha Prefecture, the essence of Chu, with 100,000 soldiers. The State of Chu is already surrounded by enemies!"

Sun Liang did not care about the anger of the queen mother, but instead talked freely, quickly showing a lobbyist's exaggerated intimidation ability in order to achieve his goal.

As a woman, even if she is smart, she does not have a man to rely on. Naturally, she is scared and empty inside and is sensitive to everything around her.

Hearing these words, she began to think about the situation where her group was arrested, her son died, and she was humiliated.

"What do you mean?" Yan asked.

"Your country and our country are in-laws, and our country's queen and you are mother and daughter. The relationship is very close. What's more, our country's 100,000 soldiers will not be humiliated easily. If the two countries are integrated, it would be better!" Sun Liang immediately became energetic when he saw the mediocre show and persuaded with great heart.

"I understand, you go back first!" Yan waved his hand and blocked Sun Liang's words.

Yan sat in the Buddhist temple, closed his eyes, thought for a long time, sighed, and then summoned several prime ministers, as well as the brothers of the King of Chu, Zhou Xingwu and his wife, to discuss together and convey the words of the envoy Tang.
