It’s hard to break a phoenix’s destiny

"Empress!" Yuan Jianshuo knelt down and kowtowed, "Don't ever say that. I can't bear my humble position."

"Yuan Jianshuo, there are only you and me in the Guangmo Palace today. Although we have known each other for a short time, we have the same temperament. You also know my situation. I am just a queen who has no real power in the Jin Dynasty, the Supreme Empress. You follow me, I'm afraid I won't have much glory and wealth to enjoy in this life." The maids were still cleaning up behind, while Yang Xianrong sat here alone talking to Yuan Jianshuo.

Zhang Heng led his people to guard the four gates of Jinyong City. As long as he didn't go out, he didn't care.

"Queen, I know this in my humble position." Yuan Jianshuo raised his head, "The two thousand forbidden troops in your humble position are enough, and they will be a help to anyone you go to. In such troubled times, it doesn't matter who you are with, it's better to find someone Someone who cares about their subordinates and is smart to follow.”

"Oh? Even if I am smart, I am still a useless queen." Yang Xianrong laughed, "Maybe I will drink a glass of poisonous wine in the blink of an eye."

"Sima Lun won't last long." Yuan Jianshuo also laughed.

"What do you know?" Yang Xianrong was stunned for a moment.

"Sima Lun has been the emperor for three days and rewarded his own people lavishly. Now he is rewarded just for kowtowing to him. With this approach, it is impossible to be a good emperor and rule the country well. What's more, the Sima family There are so many ambitious people, and they will all have ideas when they see him like this."

"However, Sima Lun was once the regent personally appointed by the late emperor."

"So what about the Prince Regent?" Yuan Jianshuo sneered, "The Empress is still new to the palace, and she doesn't know many things. Do you know about the dog's tail?"

"I don't know." Yang Xianrong's ears perked up, "Sit down and let's talk."

"Before I talk about this matter, can I ask you something else?" Yuan Jianshuo laughed, stood up, and sat on the pillar beside him.

"Ask." Yang Xianrong also pushed the pastry at hand to him, "It's made by Lan Xiang. It's delicious."

"Thank you, Queen." Yuan Jianshuo was no longer polite. He was indeed hungry and ate a large piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake in two or three bites. "I would like to ask, why did the queen not ask about Yang Xiankang? And, she was not anxious at all? Even if the subordinates of humble position clearly saw that Yang Xiankang and Qin Chaoge had been tied up?"

"It's not that I don't ask, I just feel that I don't know if I ask you. If you know, you will definitely tell me." Yang Xianrong sighed softly, "Before this, or in other words, before I arrived in Luoyang, I had not Before marrying into the public, my second brother and I had already agreed that no matter what, we should survive first. If you have to fight for it, then fight for it. If you can't win, just do it. Just don't resist. So, I believe that second brother If you are not stupid enough to confront and cause trouble with these people, your life should be safe."

"Well, I haven't heard any news yet." Yuan Jianshuo nodded, "In order to prevent Zhang Heng from suspecting too much, I arranged for my subordinates to quietly go around in batches to have a look, at least first to see what control Sima Lun has. Which places?"

"Actually, it's okay." Yang Xianrong said seriously, "Don't put yourself in danger. Put your life first. I think Sima Lun can't control everything, just a part of it. Those princes and ministers may not all be him. people."

"That's true. Sima Rui is actually not from Sima Lun. It's just that this time he was temporarily called to escort the emperor to Jinyong City. He is usually a prince who does nothing and doesn't care much. So, it can be seen that Sima Rui Lun may not take action against the Emperor and the Queen."

"Well, these people all have their own agendas." Yang Xianrong chuckled, "Actually, even though Jia Nanfeng was a domineering dictatorship, he allowed the orthodox imperial power of the Jin Dynasty to survive for ten more years." Yuan Jianshuo didn't know how to answer this sentence. , had to nod awkwardly. What's more, he poured poisonous wine into Jia Nanfeng's mouth. Yang Xianrong also thought of this and looked at him, "You are just an executor. We are just chatting now. There is no need to bear too much burden."

"The Queen." Yuan Jianshuo knelt down again, "As I said just now, the Queen takes care of her subordinates and is extremely smart. She will definitely be fine in such a turmoil."

"Well, it's okay." Yang Xianrong touched his teacup, "Maybe, the situation will change quickly."

"No matter what happens, I will always stand by the Queen's side." Yuan Jianshuo once again expressed his loyalty.

The days passed very quickly. On the seventh day, Sima Lun's edict was officially delivered. It was not that the two emperors and queens knelt down to receive the edict, but the eunuch who delivered the edict was indeed a little arrogant. "The Supreme Emperor and the Supreme Queen will stay well in Jinyong City. If you need anything, just ask for it, and the Emperor will definitely be satisfied."

"I want to eat the sweet and sour fish from Mingyuelou." Yang Xianrong was not polite at all, "The food here is not good."

"Your Majesty, the sweet and sour fish was already cold when it was delivered here." The eunuch who delivered the order was a little suffocated.

"Then let's get the chef from Mingyue Tower over. The Emperor has lost weight these days, so we still have to cook something delicious for him." Yang Xianrong controlled his momentum and even sat there with his orchid finger raised. He took a sip of tea and said, "This tea is also very bad. I need to bring over the bag of tea leaves from the Emperor's palace."

Yuan Jianshuo and He Jiunian did not speak, but stood on both sides of Yang Xianrong with a strong posture. The eunuch who delivered the order immediately lost a lot of momentum. He lowered his head and asked, "We should discuss this matter with the emperor."

"Then you go ahead and tell me. By the way, where did Princess Pingyang, the eldest sister, go? You ask, why don't you also get to Jinyong City and let me be her companion? There is still one person missing for the horse-drawing ceremony. ."

"Princess Pingyang left Luoyang a few days ago and went to Yecheng."

"Oh, forget it. Let's wait until she comes back. Then get a few cooks from Mingyue Tower over as soon as possible." Yang Xianrong patted his clothes again, "There is a throwing pot in the emperor's palace. Go look for it, it doesn’t seem to be very valuable. Bring it to the emperor when you come here next time. He likes it so much that he has to play games with Simei every day, otherwise there will be trouble."

"Yes." The eunuch who passed the order didn't know what to say to this request, so he had to agree.

"Otherwise, go now. Let He Jiunian and He Wuwei follow you, so that he can go home and get some clothes. Standing in front of me every day is boring."

He Jiunian's face twitched when he heard this.

The eunuch who delivered the order lowered his head again. He couldn't afford to offend this person.

Yang Xianrong looked at him, looked at Sima Lun's imperial edict, and thought: This thing should be put away, and let's see how long this useless queen can last.
