The queen cried the whole harem

Yan Xiaoye kicked the tree trunk next to her and put her hands on her hips: "It's all your fault. If you didn't mention going to Guiyang City, how could you think of letting me go to Guiyang City too?"

Yan Lang was speechless: "I'm going to Guiyang City because I have something to do. How could I have known that my mother would be so weird and ask you to follow her to Guiyang City."

Yan Xiaoye was frustrated: "Mom is getting more and more disgusted with me, otherwise why would she always think about marrying me off?"

Yan Lang shook his head: "I was jealous when my fourth sister became a concubine, so I started working on you."

Yan Xiaoye hummed: "Can I not know? But I am useless, how can I compare with the fourth sister? My mother's eyes are in the sky."

Yan Lang nodded: "Sister is right, my mother's eyes will fall from the sky sooner or later."

Yan Xiaoye smiled and poked Yan Lang's head, then said sadly: "I really don't want to go to Guiyang City, but you know my mother's temper. If I don't go, she will kill me."

Yan Lang shrugged his shoulders and said calmly: "Then you go with me, just to see the scenery of Guiyang City. If you really don't want to stay there, you can come back. Anyway, if mother asks you to go, you will go too." Well, you have followed your mother’s words, and it will be hard for me to find trouble with you anymore.”

Yan Xiaoye thought about it and said, "Okay then, I will go to Guiyang City with you tomorrow."

Yan Lang hummed: "Let's hurry up on the way and try to arrive before the Lantern Festival. Then we can go see the Lantern Festival scene in Guiyang City together."

Yan Xiaoye's eyes also showed yearning: "I have grown up so much that when I came back from exile, I went to Guiyang City once, but that time I was in the post house and didn't go anywhere. I really haven't seen Guiyang City yet. Where are the streets of Yangcheng?"

Yan Lang said, "I'll show you around."

The two siblings chatted for a while, then went back to the yard to pack their things.

The next morning, Zhou and Yan Tai came to see him off, and Yan Hao and Liu also came to see him off.

Although Yan Xiaoye is a woman, she was born in Lanzhou Pass after all. Even if she doesn't learn martial arts like Yan Lang, she still knows some basic kung fu, and riding a horse is commonplace.

Yan Lang, Guo Xin and Yan Xiaoye each rode on horseback. Yan Xiaoye's maid, Ling'er, also followed, and Ling'er also rode.

The four of them set off for Guiyang City.

After Meng Qingzheng wrote the letter to Yan Lang, he also set off from Dongchang Pass to Guiyang City.

Meng Qingzheng arrived first. She arrived on the thirteenth day of the first lunar month. After entering Guiyang City, she first found an inn to stay in, and then went shopping.

On the fourteenth day of the first lunar month, Chen Dongyan arrived at Guiyang City with Ji Yan, Liu Jin, Xie Erdan, Chun Yu and Chun Si.

Yan Lang arrived at Guiyang City with Guo Xin, Yan Xiaoye, and Ling'er.

Rong Wanyin had the customs clearance documents and successfully passed the inspection in Guiyang City, and entered Guiyang City with Xiqiu and Xiangqin.

They arrived at different times. Chen Dongyan and his party arrived in the morning, Yan Lang and his party arrived in the afternoon, and Rong Wanyin and his three people entered the city in the evening.

After entering the city, Sheridan said goodbye and left, returning to the Xie Mansion.

Chen Dongyan glanced at Ji Yan and asked, "Are you tired?"

The journey was so fast that I barely rested. I was really tired, so I found an inn to rest. After driving for several days, Chen Dongyan was really worried that Ji Yan couldn't bear it.

Ji Yan looked a little pale and tired, but she didn't seem to have any major problems. She smiled and said, "I'm really tired, but I'm also really happy."

Chen Dongyan frowned, took a look at her pale and tired face, and said warmly: "Let's go to the Chen Mansion. You can rest first after we arrive."

Ji Yan felt a little nervous. She was about to meet Chen Dongyan's family. This was really... nervous.

Chen Dongyan and Ji Yan rode side by side, with Liu Jin riding in front.

Chunyu and Chunsi followed behind.

Ji Yan looked around curiously while riding her horse.

Chen Dongyan said with a smile: "Let's rest today. Tomorrow happens to be the Lantern Festival. I will take you out to play tomorrow."

Ji Yan's pale face showed a rare blush. She hummed, stopped looking around, and accelerated her riding speed.

All the way to Chen Mansion, six people dismounted.

Liu Jin stepped forward and knocked on the door, and soon the door was opened. When the servant saw Liu Jin, he immediately shouted. When he saw Chen Dongyan again, he was surprised and happy, and quickly came out and saluted.

Chen Dongyan threw the six people's horses to the servants, and he took Ji Yan into the house.

It was still morning time, and the servants in the mansion were all busy. When they saw Chen Dongyan appear, they all showed expressions of surprise and bowed respectfully.

Soon the news of Chen Dongyan's return reached the ears of Chen Kang and Xie.

Chen Kang came out of the study and Mrs. Xie came out of the bedroom. The two met in the yard, with expressions of joy on their faces.

Chen Kang said excitedly: "I heard that Dongyan is back!"

Xie smiled and said, "I also heard that the Dongyan is back!"

She immediately said: "Let's go to Zhufengyuan."

Zhufengyuan is where Chen Dongyan lives.

Chen Hong also heard the news about Chen Dongyan's return, and immediately ran out of the yard and went straight to Zhufeng Courtyard.

Liu Jin opened the door of Zhufengyuan and went in.

Chen Dongyan took Ji Yan in.

Chun Yu and Chun Si followed behind.

Although Chen Dongyan hasn't been back for a long time, and Liu Jin hasn't been back for more than a month because he was looking for Chen Dongyan, the Zhufeng Courtyard is still very neat and clean, with a rough lady cleaning it every day.

Because the master was away, the earth dragon was not burned. Liu Jin went to tell his servants to burn the earth dragon first.

Chen Dongyan took Ji Yan into the hall. The maids immediately boiled hot water and then left.

Chen Dongyan asked Ji Yan: "Do you want to see Zhufengyuan?"

Ji Yan's eyes were shining. Although she was a little tired, she was still very excited. She nodded: "I want to see it."

Chen Dongyan smiled and said, "I'll show you this afternoon."

Ji Yan: "..."

Realizing that he was playing tricks on her, she glared at him angrily.

Chen Dongyan picked up the porcelain pot and poured a cup of hot water for Ji Yan: "Drink a cup of tea first to warm yourself up. I have been away for a long time and the room is a little cold."

Ji Yan took the porcelain cup handed over by Chen Dongyan, drank the hot water slowly, and looked around uncontrollably.

Chunyu and Chunsi's eyes didn't stop all the way. Ji Yan has been full of curiosity about everything outside since leaving Bobei Pass. Chun Yu and Chun Si are also full of curiosity about everything outside.

Although they were in a hurry all the way, it did not affect the curious observation of the master and the two servants.

After entering the Chen Mansion, Chun Yu and Chun Si also saw the scene of the Chen Mansion that they had come across. They were indeed worthy of being a high-ranking official in Guiyang City, and everything in the mansion was full of magnificence.

Chunyu and Chunsi thought that Ji Mansion was already very good, but after coming to Chen Mansion, they knew what earth was and what heaven was.

The two maids stood there as expected, with excitement in their eyes.

Chen Hong traveled quickly. Chen Kang and Xie came to Zhufengyuan first.

As soon as he entered the main hall, he saw Chen Dongyan with a big smile on his face and shouted happily: "Cousin!"

When he saw Ji Yan, he quickly saluted politely: "Chen Hong has met my cousin."

Ji Yan felt a little uncomfortable. Although she had met and gotten along with Chen Hong when she was in Bobei Pass, and Chen Hong had also called her cousin-in-law, it was different here in Bobei Pass.

Bobiguan is her home, and in her own home, no matter what happens, it seems to be nothing.

But here, the word "cousin" made her feel shy and at a loss.

She glanced at Chen Dongyan.

Chen Dongyan said with a smile: "We are already engaged. After the Lantern Festival, I will ask my fourth uncle and fourth aunt to find a matchmaker to hire from the Ji Mansion. After that, we will get married. Chen Hong is right to call you fourth sister-in-law. You don't have to I feel embarrassed.”

After saying that, he raised his eyes, leaned close to her ear, and said: "You have never been reserved, why are you so shy and embarrassed now?"

Ji Yan rolled her eyes at him. In front of Chen Hong, she didn't want to reveal her true nature and kicked Chen Dongyan, so she could only say to Chen Hong generously: "Hello, cousin."

Chen Dongyan pursed his lips and smiled, sitting there chatting with Chen Hong.

After just chatting for a few words, Chen Kang and Mr. Xie arrived.

Chen Dongyan pulled Ji Yan to stand up, greeted Chen Kang and Xie, and introduced: "Fourth uncle, fourth aunt, this is Ji Yan, my fiancée."

Ji Yan immediately followed suit and said, "Hello, fourth uncle, hello, fourth aunt."

Chen Kang looked at Ji Yan, and Xie also looked at Ji Yan.

Because Ji Yan was on the road, she was not wearing a cumbersome long skirt, but a skirt that was more like a military uniform. The arms and trouser legs were very narrow, and the straps were tight, making her appear slimmer and slimmer. Her face She is a little pale, but her eyes are clear. Her appearance cannot be said to be stunning, but she is still beautiful. There is a tired look between her eyebrows, but she is very energetic, with a smile on her face, which makes people feel closer.

Ever since they got to know Ji Yan, Chen Kang and Mrs. Xie were very curious about her, and naturally wanted to meet her in person. After all, this person was going to get married to Chen Dongyan, and they would be with Chen Dongyan for the rest of their lives. If there was something wrong with her, , it was Chen Dongyan who was harmed.

Now that I really see the real person, the vague shadow finally has a concrete appearance.

Chen Kang didn't have any big feelings. Anyway, if Chen Dongyan liked it, he would accept it. This Ji Yan was still Chen Dongyan's savior. The king's previous words were still there. Even if Chen Kang was not satisfied with Ji Yan, he would accept it. Hers, besides, just based on the first impression, you can't say whether you are satisfied or dissatisfied, the main thing is to look at it later.

Ms. Xie is quite satisfied. She is a woman who lives her life, or a woman who makes the family uneasy. With her current temper, it can basically be seen.

Besides, Mrs. Xie believes that Chen Dongyan, the woman Chen Dongyan likes, will definitely be good.

Mrs. Xie stepped forward, took Ji Yan's hand, and said with a smile: "Thank you for all the hard work of coming all the way. I'll have dinner at the fourth aunt's place at noon. In the afternoon, the fourth aunt will come to help and clean up a yard for you."

Ji Yan went to see Chen Dongyan again, and Chen Dongyan said: "Thank you fourth aunt, I plan to let Ji Yan live in Wanwu Courtyard. That courtyard is big and has been unoccupied for a long time. It really needs to be cleaned well and all the things that should be prepared should be prepared. Ji Yan has just arrived and is not familiar with everything yet, so she really has to trouble her fourth aunt to help her."

Xie raised her eyebrows, thinking that Wanwu Courtyard was the mother's home. Since Meng's death, Chen Bao had focused on the battlefield and state affairs. He was not interested in women and did not renew his relationship. Chen Bao only married one wife, the Meng family, and had no aunt or concubine in the house. Once Chen Bao left, there would be no woman in charge of the entire third house.

At that time, Chen Yurong was still young and did not know how to manage the household, and Chen Dongyan had to serve the king. Without time, Mrs. Xie took care of the affairs of the third house.

Later, Chen Yurong entered the palace and became a noble concubine, so it was even less possible for him to take care of the affairs of the third wife. Fortunately, Chen Dongyan gradually grew up and became outstanding. Although he entered the palace and became the chief of the palace guard, Liu Jin did not follow him into the palace. , Liu Jin stayed in the third room, and had a lot of time, Xie returned the affairs of the third room to Chen Dongyan, and Chen Dongyan left it to Liu Jin to take care of it.

Over the years, there has been no mistress in the third bedroom, and the main courtyard has been vacant.

Now, a mistress is about to live in the main house.

Mrs. Xie was pleased and nodded with a smile: "Okay, after lunch, the fourth aunt will take people to clean up the Wanwu Courtyard."

Ji Yan called Chunyu and Chunsi and asked them to come over to see the ceremony. Xie also introduced her mother Zhou and Ziyu to Ji Yan.

Ms. Xie didn't know that Chen Dongyan and Ji Yan were coming back today, and the kitchen hadn't made any special preparations yet. Ms. Xie asked Mother Zhou to inform the kitchen to prepare a sumptuous meal for Chen Dongyan and Ji Yan at noon.

Mother Zhou took the order and went.

By noon, lunch was all set, and the group went to the dining hall.

After lunch, Chen Dongyan went into the palace to meet the king. Ji Yan rested for an hour. Then Xie brought some people to see Ji Yan, and then went to Wanwu Courtyard together.

Entering Wanwu Courtyard, Ji Yan's expression was stunned. She opened her eyes wide and looked at everything in the courtyard, including rockery cloud bridges and green water pavilions. What she saw was an extremely luxurious courtyard. She couldn't see the end at a glance. The courtyard was huge. Incredibly, there are no houses as far as the eye can see. Only the shadow of the house can be seen vaguely behind the rockery or green trees.

Ji Yan was stunned: "Fourth Aunt, is this Wanwu Courtyard?"

Ms. Xie smiled and said, "Of course, yes, can I still give you the wrong one?"

She pulled her in and didn't mention that Wanwu Courtyard was the main home. She only said: "The courtyard is very big. It's normal for you to not adapt to it for a while, but you will get used to it after living there. Dongyan arranged you here, so naturally It makes sense, let’s take a walk around first and get familiar with the environment and layout here.”

Ji Yan had no choice but to say yes.

Mrs. Xie took Ji Yan to stroll around Wanwu Courtyard.

Mother Zhou took the rough ladies to clean the yard.

Ziyu took the young maids to clean the house, make the bed, etc.

Chen Dongyan entered the palace and went to the imperial study room to meet the king.

Qi Hengyuan saw him coming in and immediately stood up from the dragon chair.

He walked around the dragon table and took Chen Dongyan's arm in greeting.

Chen Dongyan stood up straight, looked at the king in front of him, and said a thousand words, but only one sentence: "Your Majesty, I am back."

Qi Hengyuan looked excited and said, "It's good to be back." He added, "You have suffered."

Chen Dongyan immediately said: "This is what I should do. I dare not say it is hard."

Qi Hengyuan didn't respond and just patted his shoulder. Thousands of words were turned into this one action.

Afterwards, the two of them talked about things in the imperial study room.

Finally everyone arrived, and now Guiyang City was bustling.
