Unlike the magnificent Xianfu Palace, which is as bright as the sun, the Fengqi Palace, which is neglected in the door, is more like a twilight beast. The fallen leaves of the sycamore in the courtyard can vaguely remind people of its early scenery. Unfortunately, the scenery is far away, and only the leaves of the sycamore fall all over the ground.

Crunch-

The eunuch pushed open the old and disrepaired hall gate. The harsh friction sound made Li'er behind Yu Wan unable to help but cover her ears with her hands.

Yu Wan glanced at her faintly.

Li'er knew her mistake and quickly put down her hands and walked with her eyes down.

Yu Wan has never been to the Cold Palace, but compared with Xianfu Palace, there is not much difference between Fengqi Palace and Cold Palace.

An old eunuch with gray hair walked forward and bowed to Yu Wan: "I wish you a blessing to Mrs. Yan."

"Don't give me a gift." Yu Wanxu helped Li'er and winked at him. Li'er took out a purse from her wide sleeve and stuffed it into the old eunuch's hand.

"As a laborious father-in-law took me to meet the queen." Yu Wan said.

The old eunuch took the money and hunched his back and led Yu Wan to the main hall of Fengqi Palace.

In the empty main hall, Yu Wan saw the queen sitting upright on the phoenix chair.

The queen was wearing a wide bright yellow auspicious dress, a thick and atmospheric bun, a phoenix crown, a nine-tailed phoenix hairpin, and a delicate makeup. She was no older than Xu Xianfei, but she looked like Xu Xianfei's elder. On the one hand, she maintained the momentum of the queen of the central palace, and on the other hand... she was really old, and no matter how thick the rouge and water powder was, she could not cover the wrinkles at the end of her eyes.

But she still tried hard to straighten her back, which was bent by the years, as if she was maintaining the queen's last majesty.

Of course, Yu Wan didn't dare to keep staring at the queen. Before entering the palace, Uncle Wan taught her to salute. She walked directly below the steps and gave a big gift without looking sideways.

"Raise your head," said the queen.

Yu Wan raised her head as she spoke.

"Look at me," the queen said again.

Li'er, who knelt down together, was already shocked. She was calmer than Tao'er's sister. It was relatively more important to meet the mother of a country. If she didn't lie down on the spot, she would be considered strong inside.

Yu Wan calmly met the queen's sight.

The queen's eyes were filled with the inherent sharpness of the superiors. She smiled faintly: "What a beautiful little beauty. I wonder how to catch the child's eyes. I heard that you are a country girl. Your father stole the military merits of Marquis Yan?"

The queen is the queen, and even if she is not favored, she is well aware of the news about the capital.

Yu Wan said without being humble and arrogant: "When I say to the Empress, my wife is from Lianhua Village, and my wife's father is Yu Shaoqing, the commander of the Northwest Camp."

He did not admit that he had robbed military merits, nor did he argue with the queen.

The queen smiled again: "I heard that Concubine Xu Xian invited you to the palace, which made you feel angry?"

This is not something that can be "heard" at any time. It seems that the queen has not accepted her fate for so many years, and she still retains the queen's methods.

Yu Wan replied lightly, "The Concubine Xian wants to try the skills of her ministers."

The queen's eyes fell on her face, and after a while, she smiled gently: "Get up and talk, give her seat."

Yu Wan owed: "Xie Niang."

Li'er helped Yu Wan up and walked to the chair on one side. Yu Wan sat down, and Li'er stood behind her in a regular manner.

A palace maid presented hot tea.

Yu Wan and the queen took a sip before picking up the teacup.

The queen smiled and said, "Fengqi Palace can't drink the new tea for the New Year, so I feel sorry for Mrs. Yan."

Yu Wan said: "The Queen Mother is so serious. My wife grew up in the countryside. The tea she drinks is soaked with folded ear roots, which has a fishy smell. Therefore, some people call it Houttuynia cordata. The tea in the Queen Mother's Palace is much better than Houttuynia cordata."

A palace maid laughed. Did the young master really never see the world or what? He actually used the countryside weeds to compare the tea from Fengqi Palace? The tea from Fengqi Palace is not as good as that of Xianfu Palace, but it is definitely not something that ordinary people can afford.

However, the queen didn't talk anymore.

The queen waved her hand and signaled the palace servant to retreat.

Li'er didn't move.

Yu Wan whispered: "Go outside and wait for me."

"Ah?" Li'er was stunned for a moment, then saw all the palace ladies looking at her like fools. She blushed and hurried out. When she left the hall, she tripped on the threshold because she was too nervous. So the queen didn't care and her face turned pale.

The already deserted hall became quieter and quieter.

The queen spoke: "There are no outsiders here, so I opened the skylight and said something to Mrs. Yan. Mrs. Yan is here to get the gold seal. Logically, I should give it to you without reservation, but unfortunately, I don't want to do this."

He is worthy of being the queen, and he is so confident when he falls out of favor and threatens people.

"Have the queen used to threaten others with golden seals?" Yu Wan said quietly, without any panic after being harassed.

The queen saw her reaction, brushed her wide sleeves embroidered with a golden phoenix and said, "Of course not, you are the first one."

Yu Wan thought for a while and understood that the royal family wives she met in the past were mostly marriages that the emperor agreed upon. The queen did not give a golden seal, which was equivalent to being in trouble with the emperor. Her marriage with Yan Jiuchao was contrary to the emperor's wishes. Yan Jiuchao did not say that, but she knew very well that the emperor would think that he was not worthy of him, so if the queen stuck her golden seal, the emperor would only be happy.

"Did you figure it out?" the queen asked with a faint expression.

Yu Wan nodded: "I think I understand, but I don't know what the queen wants to do, whether to suppress my golden seal to please Your Majesty, or to offer some conditions so that I can get the golden seal."

The queen smiled and said, "You are very smart. No wonder you can defeat so many women and marry into the Young Master's Mansion."

Yu Wan thought to herself, there are not many women, only Yan Ruyu is the only one.

The queen looked at the gloomy hall and said, "I have been waiting in Fengqi Palace for ten years, just to wait for His Majesty to pardon me. Now I will no longer wait."

Before entering the palace, Uncle Wan mentioned the queen to her. The queen was the emperor's first wife and the crown prince's concubine. The emperor naturally appointed her as queen after inheriting the throne. However, the good times did not last long. First, there was Concubine Li and Concubine Xu. The emperor seemed to have no shortage of beauties around him. He designed to frame Concubine Xu Xian for favoring the queen, but by chance, the Liu Guiren, who was pregnant with Liu Jia, suffered Yang. Concubine Liu was one corpse and two lives. The emperor was furious and punished the queen for being punished. But he only cared about the royal dignity and husband-wife relationship. The emperor did not deposed the queen, but only let the queen stay in Fengqi Palace to recuperate, but in fact he imprisoned her here.

No matter how you look at this, it seems that Concubine Xu Xian was trying to use her tricks, killing three birds with one stone, but they suspected that it was useless, and the emperor trusted Concubine Xu Xian.

The queen touched her already loose belly: "That bitch hurt my child! She also wanted to use this ghost place to trap me for the rest of her life, she dreamed!"

Uncle Wan said that the queen was pregnant with a dragon fetus when she was convicted. She was a princess and had a slippery fetus halfway.

Although Concubine Xu Xian is abominable, the queen is not innocent of framing her. The winner is the king and the loser is the enemy. This is just that.

"Does the queen hope we can take action against Concubine Xu Xian?" Yu Wan asked.

The queen sneered: "I know that you and Concubine Xian are incompatible with each other. However, this bitch belongs to me. I will deal with her. You just need to let me leave this Fengqi Palace."

It's easy to say.

The queen smiled faintly: "I know this is not an easy job, but think about it, if I give you the golden seal, it will be better to offend Your Majesty. Since it is not easy, it is better to trade fairly."

Yu Wan didn't say anything.

The queen looked at Yu Wan and said, "Well, I will tell you another thing, about the Yan Jiu Dynasty."

Imperial study room.

Yan Jiuchao sat in a wheelchair and saw the emperor with an unpredictable expression.

Like Eunuch Wang, the emperor thought he was lying, and did not think that he was really bad. The emperor was too lazy to expose him and said bluntly: "You came just right, I happened to have something to say."

"I have something to say to Your Majesty, too." Yan Jiuchao said.

If you have something to do, your Majesty will do nothing to do. Over the years, the emperor has been used to it.

The emperor glared at him and said, "What do you have to say? If you want to marry a folk woman, I will turn a blind eye and ask you to marry her. What else do you have to be dissatisfied with?"

"I'm very satisfied." Yan Jiuchao said with a leeway.

The emperor made him very angry, but at least he remembered the serious matter and suppressed his anger and said to him: "I have already chosen it for you. The daughter of the Governor's Office is beautiful and wise, and has both talent and beauty. Huai Jin holds Yu and is as good as Zhixuan in his heart. He is more suitable for you."

Yan Jiuchao's face was not surprised, and he raised his eyebrows: "You are so wronged to marry here with such a high status, are you?"

"Who asked her to be a concubine?" said the emperor, "If you inherit the throne in the future, she will be Princess Yan. As for the woman you marry into the house, I will grant her the position of concubine."

She is the one who can become the concubine of the King of Yan.

Yan Jiuchao said, "That woman is the best chef in the world given by His Majesty."

The emperor said seriously: "These are two different things. You are marrying a wife, not hiring a cook!"

"She is not a cook." Yan Jiuchao's face was sunk, "She is my wife."

The emperor said coldly: "I don't agree! The three media and six recruits have already given her enough face when they pass by the door in a grand manner. She can't even think of becoming Princess Yan!"

Yan Jiuchao threw the golden seal of the King of Yan to the emperor's desk with a clatter: "Whoever likes to sit in this King of Yan's seat!"

The emperor slapped the table and stood up: "Yan Jiu Dynasty!"

The emperor was so angry that this little brat even wanted the position of King Yan for a woman. Do he know what he was doing? Did he abandon the throne? It was the entire Yan Prince's Mansion and the entire Yan City!

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please calm down..." Seeing that this was not good, Eunuch Wang walked in at the risk of beheading his head, and followed the emperor's anger and said earnestly to Yan Jiuchao, "Young Master, Your Majesty is for your own good."

Yan Jiuchao snorted coldly and pushed the wheelchair head out without looking back.

The emperor was so angry that he said: "Look at it! This is my good nephew whom I have used to! He dares to shy his face in public! I really think I can't bear to kill him!"

"Why is this trouble with Your Majesty?" Eunuch Wang said intimately, you are willing to kill, I don't know how many times you have killed; even if you don't kill, this child will not be alive for two years.

Seeing that the emperor was not impatient, Eunuch Wang hurriedly continued to persuade: "Young Master is a rebellious person, not a hard person. I see, Your Majesty doesn't have to worry. The young master has no place to be a woman, and he will inevitably have freshness. When this momentum passes, he will be indifferent to that woman. Then you put the daughters of each family to him, and you don't have to urge him, he will be able to pick him up by himself."

The emperor said: "I understand the truth. I just can't swallow this and I'm just a stubborn person with his father!"

The King of Yan married Shangguan Yan, for no reason. Shangguan Yan's identity was too precious. The late emperor did not want a "bad breeder" to have such a powerful backstage. The late emperor chose a marriage for the young King of Yan. The young King of Yan broke up and caused a storm in the city. However, no matter how it was, Shangguan Yan and the King of Yan were considered to be a match. Therefore, the emperor did not object to the two of them being together back then.

"I'm all for his own good."

Eunuch Wang sighed again: "Your Majesty is for the good of the young master. The young master is young and ignorant. If Your Majesty really lets him marry a lowly woman as a princess, it will be difficult for King Yan to rest in peace if he finds out underground."
