Return of the Swallow

After being disturbed by Mrs. Lu, Qin Yining was no longer in the mood to play, and he and Mrs. Liao only talked for a while and then parted ways. Before leaving, Qin Yining hesitated for a moment, but still did not say the words about entrusting the Qingtian League to find his grandmother.

She thought that perhaps her grandmother had handed over the Blue Sky Alliance to her because she did not want to be involved with these people in the world anymore.

What my grandmother cares more about is how the women of the Sun family can recuperate and live a good life. Although the Sun family has no sons, the Sun family still has daughters and can still recruit children. As long as they keep their minds down and develop, it will not take a few years for the Sun family to have a good life. The family will prosper again.

Thinking of this, Qin Yining was relieved. After all, life will only get better with time.

At the same time, on Xizhi Street, a spacious carriage with a red wheel and canopy was driving smoothly towards the Yanjun Prince's Mansion.

Yuchiyan sat cross-legged in silence, lowering his head and looking at the exquisite embroidery patterns on his robe. This robe was a new reward from the Holy Father two days ago. It was said that it was specially sewn for him by the best embroiderer. .

However, the complicated and gorgeous patterns of the county prince's clothes could not make him happy. The more dazzling the county prince's clothes were, the more they made him, the king of the subjugated country, look useless.

After all, he was once an emperor, but now he had to walk around the capital of Zhou Dynasty with the title of king of a certain country. He felt that the way other people looked at him when he went out was wrong.

What's more, he just witnessed Qin Yining being blocked and humiliated in the restaurant lobby.

Ever since Dayan was destroyed, Yuchiyan felt that the pressure that had been inexplicably placed on his shoulders could finally be lifted, and he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

When he succeeded to the throne, he was just to hand over the surrender letter. After everything settled, after arriving in the Great Zhou Dynasty, he often advised himself that people should be content and happy, and it would not be a big deal to live the rest of their lives peacefully. bad thing.

However, in the seemingly polite but contemptuous looks of the Zhou Dynasty courtiers, he felt an unprecedented sense of humiliation, and then he realized that his thoughts were too naive.

The reason why he is still alive in this world is to prove the kindness of the Great Zhou Sage and to show off the great achievements of the Great Zhou Sage. All his life, he has been a foil for people's entertainment. As soon as he saw him, the Great Zhou Sage would think of how wise he was when the Great Yan Dynasty was destroyed.

How could a person like him, who looked glamorous but was actually humble, stand to pursue Qin Yining?

Even if Qin Yining was kidnapped,

After all, her father is already a second-grade Great Yuan and is about to be appointed to the cabinet.

And what about him?

With his current status, it is impossible for him to bring happiness and peace to Qin Yining!

Even when she was bullied just now, he didn't have the courage to stand up and say a word for her. Instead, he was pulled by Li Yanyan and left along with her strength.

Because he knew that he was in no position to speak now, and even if he spoke, no one would listen to him.

And with his current embarrassing status, there is no way he can offend the Lu family.

Yuchiyan couldn't help clenching his fists, and fell into a state of extreme disgust for himself.

Are there any men as incompetent and spineless as him in this world?

If he didn't dare to protect the woman he loved, how could he have the nerve to ask Qin Yining to be his concubine?

How dare you tell her, "Follow me and I will protect you"?

The promise he made to her, let alone the future, he couldn't even do it now!

"Your Majesty..." Li Yanyan saw that Yu Chiyan's face was really ugly, and even the veins on his forehead popped out, so she took Yu Chiyan's hand and shook it gently:

"My lord, please don't suffer yourself. We still have a long time to live in the future. Now our life has stabilized and everything will be fine."

At this point, Li Yanyan's eyes were flushed, but her voice was as gentle as possible: "I know that you like Qin, don't worry. I will continue to work hard to make peace in the future. Your Majesty is talented and gentle. How can you do that?" Is there a woman who doesn't admire you? I think Mrs. Qin can't help but think she's embarrassed to accept it because she's been through something like that before, right? If I go there a few more times, she'll probably agree."

"No need to go."

Yuchiyan was like a slow-responsive puppet. He slowly turned his head to look at Li Yanyan, shook his head and said, "No need to go. I... am not worthy of her."

Li Yanyan was stunned when she heard the words, and tears finally burst out. She hugged Yuchiyan and choked up: "My lord, my lord, why are you like this? Why are you not worthy of her? In my heart, my lord." He is an indomitable man, a man with outstanding talents and gentleness who is as gentle as an immortal! Anyone who looks down upon you is blind! You are so sad for the Qin family, what should I do if you call me concubine... What should I do if you call me concubine? .”

Li Yanyan buried her face on Yuchiyan's shoulder and sobbed.

Yu Chiyan felt sad when Li Yanyan cried. He also felt his nose was sore and his eyes were hot, and he almost cried too.

After a while, Yuchi Yan put his arm around Li Yanyan and patted her shoulder: "Stop crying. Let's live a good life in the future."

Li Yanyan slowly raised her teary eyes and looked at Yuchi Yan, choking and saying: "Okay, Your Majesty, as long as Your Majesty doesn't dislike you, I will always be by your side and never leave you. We will have a good life --\u003e\u003e

In the future, I will give birth to more children for you. Only if our family can live happily can this life be lived in vain. "

Yu Chiyan looked at Li Yanyan's eyes that were washed by tears and looked particularly bright, and her heart suddenly softened into a puddle of water.

Although Qin Yining couldn't get what he asked for, Li Yanyan had always shared the joys and sorrows with him and never left him since she had given it to him. People's hearts were made of flesh. How could he not be moved when Li Yanyan treated him so wholeheartedly?

"Okay." Yu Chiyan stopped Li Yanyan's shoulder, hugged her in his arms, put his chin against her forehead, and said, "Let's live a good life, and I will work hard to earn power and status. We won't go on like this forever. .”

Li Yanyan's heart skipped a beat when she heard this, and she hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, I don't care about any power or position. As long as I can be with Your Majesty, I don't care about vain fame and fortune!"

Yuchi Yan smiled and said, "You don't care, but I do."

Li Yanyan's words swirled around in her mouth several times, but she finally didn't dare to say them out.

She really wanted to ask Yuchi Yan.

Is this sudden desire to gain power so that their family can live a good life, or is it for Qin Yining?

But Li Yanyan is not a stupid person after all. Although she is jealous, she is not willing to show such a jealous side in front of Yu Chiyan, which is plainly annoying.

But in her heart, she hated Qin Yining even more. She could tolerate Yuchiyan having a hundred ordinary concubines, but she didn't want Yuchiyan to only take in one that he truly loved.

Why has she been staying with Yuchiyan like this? Isn’t it just to have a stable life?

If Qin Yining came in, there would probably be no stability in her life.

When the time comes, don’t blame her for being cruel!

Different from Yuchiyan's depression, Li Qitian was in a very good mood at this time, sipping tea in the Queen Mother's Palace. Li Helan sat aside obediently, refilling Li Qitian's tea in a timely manner, and spoke very amusingly.

"Brother Huang's plan this time is so clever, and with such leverage, the Qin family will soon realize that the only person they can rely on in the capital is Brother Huang."

The Queen Mother also smiled and said: "The emperor's method is very good. Watching the fire from the other side can avoid getting angry."

The Queen Mother was a person who was very measured in her speech. Even if she had any thoughts in her heart, she would never discuss them in front of the emperor. Because she knew very well that the emperor did not like the harem to be involved in politics. As her biological mother, she only wanted to take care of herself as long as she could. If she talked too much, she would bring trouble to her family.

However, although the Holy Emperor does not like the harem to interfere in politics, he still needs the help of the harem at certain times. At such times, it is his duty to do so.

Just like Li Helan this time.

The power of God is unpredictable, and whether you participate in government affairs or not, you can only depend on the Holy One's will. He wanted Li Helan to help, but it would be impossible if Li Helan didn't do his best.

Li Qitian smiled and said: "What the Queen said makes sense. I just don't want the government to be in the hands of one party." As a member of the Nuliu family, Li Qitian has always been unwilling to explain the government affairs in detail.

Li Helan saw Li Qitian's impatience, so he winked at the Queen Mother, and then asked: "Brother, will Lan'er still have contact with the Lu family in the future? Lan'er actually doesn't like this person's usual behavior. , getting closer to her, no one outside would think that Lan'er is also that kind of person."

Li Qitian laughed when he heard this: "Are you afraid that people outside will misunderstand you, or are you afraid that your consort will misunderstand you?"

"Brother Emperor." Li Helan's face turned red and she stomped her feet nervously. The Queen Mother and Li Qitian both laughed again.

"Mother, I still have something to discuss with Lan'er, so I'll leave first." Li Qitian smiled enough, stood up and said goodbye.

The Queen Mother didn't stay much, and only asked her mother beside her to see them off.

They are all her children anyway, it doesn't matter if they rely on each other and use each other, as long as they support each other and don't break up, that's fine.

Li Helan followed Li Qitian all the way to the imperial study. After the eunuch Li Guanwen served tea, he withdrew at Li Qitian's signal.

Li Helan then asked coquettishly: "Brother Huang, do you have something to do with Lan'er?"

Li Qitian smiled and said, "How does the consort treat you?"

Thinking of Ji Zeyu's handsome face and recalling Ji Zeyu's back when he turned around and left that day at Lu's house, Li Helan's face turned from red to white, and then from white to red.

She already regretted that she shouldn't have listened to Mr. Lu that day and let her two beloved men catch her hooking up with someone else.

"The prince-in-law is very kind to Lan'er." Li Helan replied coyly, then quietly looked at Li Qitian and said softly: "Brother Emperor, Lan'er has an unkind request. Please make the decision for Lan'er."

"Oh? What's the matter? Just tell me and let me hear it." Li Qitian raised his eyebrows.

Li Helan said: "Brother, if Lan'er doesn't want to live in the Princess's Mansion, why don't you give Lan'er permission to live in the Prince Consort's Mansion permanently? We will live in separate houses after our wedding, so we won't even see each other. We don't have ordinary little ones. The couple is so happy."

Li Qitian sat up straight after hearing this and asked, "Is this what you meant, or did the consort ask you to say it?"
