The queen cried the whole harem

Chapter 394 Will be happy
When he said this, a hint of pain flashed in the depths of his eyes, along with a hint of barely perceptible hatred.

That day, on the way to Jiuguanjiucheng, he found Chen Yurong, who was trying to escape to Jiang State. Chen Yurong questioned him, saying that her father had fought all his life and finally died for Qi State. Although he had earned military merits, those merits were of no use at all. She also felt that her father had left nothing for her.

How could she have such a ridiculous idea? Her father's military achievements provided her with fine clothes and delicious food, and allowed her to enjoy the nobility and honor that others did not have. Everything her father earned was spent on them.

Most of the rewards her father received were kept as her dowry.

How could she have the nerve to say that her father did nothing for her.

My father fought for the State of Qi all his life, but he gave all the benefits of the war to his children.

The father loves them.

What hurt Chen Dongyan was not the evil deeds committed by Chen Yurong, but the defamation and blasphemy against his father.

Up to now, Chen Yurong has not reformed herself, nor has she realized that she was extremely wrong. She didn't know where she was wrong, or rather, she didn't think she had done anything wrong at all.

Maybe she felt that if she wanted to be the queen, everyone had to help her, and if anyone didn't help her, then that was not good to her. Even if someone had been good to her in the past, she would deny it all.

If she wants to get His Majesty, she must get him. If she can't get him, it means that the whole world has let her down.

Chen Dongyan didn't know since when his sister became so hateful.

He was planning to tell Ji Yan the inside story that Chen Yurong was not dead. After all, Ji Yan was his wife now, and he didn't want to hide it from her.

But I didn't plan to say it so early.

He wasn't ready yet.

He also felt that Chen Yurong was not presentable to anyone now.

He wanted to wait until Chen Yurong figured things out before taking Ji Yan to see her.

He didn't want Ji Yan to look down on Chen Yurong from the bottom of her heart, or have a bad impression of Chen Yurong.

But plans are not as good as changes, and what happened in the warehouse exposed the secret that Chen Yurong was alive.

Ji Yan is too smart, so it is difficult to hide it, and there is no need to hide it. But when it comes to meeting Chen Yurong, Chen Dongyan always feels that it is not the right time.

But Chen Dongyan didn’t say this. What is coming will eventually come. Maybe Ji Yan can really help her sister?

This is what Ji Yan just said.

After Chen Dongyan had this thought, he was slightly stunned and smiled bitterly in his heart.

He really had no idea what to do with Chen Yurong, otherwise he wouldn't have had the idea that Ji Yan could help Chen Yurong.

Chen Dongyan shook his head, shook off the unrealistic thoughts in his mind, and looked at Ji Yan: "Aunt Four also gave you the account book of the warehouse. She probably wanted you to keep those things. You can take care of them, even though you can't use them..."

"No, it will definitely be useful."

Ji Yan hugged Chen Dongyan again and said, "My dear, my sister will definitely use it. She will also have the day when she wears the phoenix crown and bridal robe. She will also have a husband who loves her, lovely children, and a happy and complete family."

Chen Dongyan almost wanted to cry when he imagined that scene.

But he knew that it was an unattainable dream.

He did not discourage Ji Yan's enthusiasm, but lowered his eyes and said, "Well, there will be a day when sister can get her happiness."

Chen Dongyan was in a very low mood because of talking about Chen Yurong. Ji Yan did not try to persuade him, because persuasion would not help in this kind of situation.

Ji Yan planned to take some time to visit the Heavenly Prison to see Chen Yurong.

No matter what, for Chen Dongyan, she must save Chen Yurong.

Ji Yan changed the subject and talked about promoting Chunyu to be the maid in charge of the backyard.

Chen Dongyan was a little surprised: "Didn't you say that you would ask Fourth Aunt to help you find a mother who can take care of things?"

Ji Yan said, "That was indeed my original plan, but then I thought about it and decided to give Chunyu and Chunsi a chance. They can't be maids all their lives if they marry into my family. If there's a chance for promotion, they'll naturally be promoted first. Anyway, the Third House has less housework and fewer social events now, so Chunyu has time to study."

Chen Dongyan hummed: "You are the one who makes the decision about the backyard matters."

Ji Yan smiled and said, "There is one more thing I need to discuss with my husband."

Chen Dongyan looked at her: "You say."

Ji Yan said, "Today, Fourth Aunt said that His Majesty's birthday is coming soon, and Fourth Aunt prepared a birthday gift, which is Guanyin, the Goddess of Childbirth. Fourth Aunt said that although it is His Majesty's birthday, because Concubine Yan is pregnant, His Majesty loves Concubine Yan very much, so when I send a birthday gift, I can send it for this reason. So I thought of painting a picture of children playing. Of course, this picture should be painted by a famous painter, so that it has meaning and value."

"Your Majesty, there will be many people giving gifts for your birthday. Although the meaning should be good, it can't be too shabby. This painting was created by a master, so it can be presented to you. It won't embarrass you when the time comes."

Chen Dongyan didn't expect Ji Yan to be so thoughtful. He was sincerely happy. Thinking about the matters in the inner courtyard and interpersonal relationships in the future, he really didn't have to worry about them.

Although Ji Yan is naughty, occasionally willful, and lustful, she is also a good wife.

Chen Dongyan said with relief: "You are very thoughtful. I will do as you say."

Ji Yan was of course happy to be praised. She smiled sweetly and said, "Husband, are you hungry? Let's go eat."

Chen Dongyan nodded, took Ji Yan's hand, and went to the dining hall.

Le Shouqing came to Chen's house in the afternoon, accompanied by Xie Jingli.

Chen Dongyan went to the palace, but Chen Kang was at home. Xie Jingli first took Le Shouqing to meet Chen Kang and Xie, and then Le Shouqing went to the third room.

Xie Jingli still went with them, as did Mrs. Zhou, who was by Xie's side.

Ji Yan had just woken up from a nap. When she heard that Le Shouqing had arrived, she immediately got dressed and went to the front yard to receive him.

After some communication, Ji Yan spent two thousand taels of silver and asked Le Shouqing to draw a picture of children playing.

Le Shouqing had not originally intended to ask for money, after all, he had Xie Jingli’s favor.

But Ji Yan insisted on giving him money, saying that she might have to trouble him again in the future. If he didn't want the money this time, she would feel embarrassed to trouble him again next time. He had no choice but to accept the money.

Of course, the price was definitely discounted. According to his fame, the starting price for a painting was five thousand silver coins.

His grandfather's paintings cannot be bought even with money.

After the two parties reached an agreement, Le Shouqing left, and Xie Jingli also said goodbye.

Mother Zhou smiled and said, "Madam, now that things are done here, I will go back and report this matter to Madam."

Ji Yan agreed and asked Chunsi to give a silver ingot to Mother Zhou. Mother Zhou accepted it with a smile and went back to the Fourth Courtyard.

Ji Yan continued to check the warehouse and verify the account books.
