Chapter 235 The crying little queen mother (157)
As it gets darker, dinner comes from the imperial dining room.

The cup of soup was cold, but it was reheated and placed on the dining table.

As usual, the eunuch who tested the food tasted the food first and made sure there was nothing wrong with it before he started to use his chopsticks.

The dinner was a quiet one, and the two of them did not communicate much. The only sound that made was the sound of moving chopsticks.

Although they looked distant, the act of playing chess just now actually brought them closer.

However, some things can only be done step by step, step by step. If you are too aggressive, you will suffer backlash. So no matter what the situation is, you can't take too big a step.

Lin Yan was convinced, and after eating, she left first because it was getting late. She would just stay in her bedroom during this period, and she would carefully plan the rest.

After she left, Xia Jingyan picked up a cup of tea and took a sip. His heart was a little complicated and he didn't know what he was thinking.

When he was a child, he accompanied his mother and made a living in the palace of Concubine Xi. Although he gave birth to his son, his mother only changed from a palace maid to a talented person. His status is not high, and he actually doesn't even have the ability to raise his own children.

But no one wanted to raise him, because at that time, the concubines with high status had already had their own sons, and the concubines with high status were not qualified. What could a palace maid’s son deserve that they should cultivate?
It can be said that among many princes with prominent family backgrounds, his status is the lowest. Even the youngest princess can step on him.

That year, my mother, who was suffering from illness, was found soaking in the lake. Everyone said that she hanged herself because she couldn't bear the pain.

Only he understands that the unscrupulous suppression and the ever-present ridicule have become the punching bag of Concubine Xi from time to time. Added together, the final straw was countless straws.

The emperor has so many sons, how can he manage them all? He is just the child of a palace maid, so what if he is beaten by the princess?

Without his mother's family and his father's attention, he became helpless.

They experienced many beatings when they were children, and when they grew up, they began to fight for the right to inherit the throne. Because he didn't feel like a threat, he ignored him.

As long as this matter doesn't come before the emperor, nothing will happen.

And when they met for the first time, he suddenly didn't want her to die. Maybe it was because the other party looked so pitiful, or maybe because it was the only goodwill he had left, so he let her go.

Why did Lin Yan stay? Is it just because of the Prime Minister's Office behind her? With his temperament, he would not give up everything he wanted to do just because of the other party's power.

But who knew that this most inconspicuous brother would become the ultimate winner.

But he had investigated this woman, a woman with a similar background to him.

When he was young, he still hoped that his father would pay even the slightest attention to him. But as time went by, he gradually grew up and gradually understood that he had no place in his father's heart. One more is not more, one less is not more, it is nothing more than the position of a prince.

He didn't need to be saved, but two people whose souls resonated with each other made him unable to do anything for a while.

"Your Majesty, it's late at night and it's time to rest. We have to go to court tomorrow morning." The chief steward approached and called softly.

When I came back to my senses, I realized that the sky outside had become dark, and I could still hear the sounds of insects from time to time. After autumn, the sounds of insects are much quieter, and the temperature at night is also much lower.

Bright candlelight shines in every corner of the room, and the golden decoration looks warm.

Xia Jingyan rubbed the center of his brows, thinking too much unknowingly, and for a while he didn't know what kind of poison he had been hit by. After sighing softly, he planned to wash up.

He is not a qualified emperor, nor a qualified tyrant, but his definition of himself is freedom. Do whatever you want to do, and let go of whoever you want to let go.

Why do you think so much? Tired and panicked.

Lin Yan had no idea what was going on in his mind. After returning to Cining Palace, she ate some fruit before planning to wash up and rest.

"The Queen Mother, someone from the palace has heard about the prime minister's daughter. I wonder if the Queen Mother would like to hear it?" Aunt Liu helped make the bed, and then she thought of something and spoke out.

"What's going on with my sister? What's the matter? Let's talk to the Ai family." She got on the bed neatly, but did not lie down. Instead, she leaned against the bedside with interest, waiting for the other party to speak.

If you look carefully, you can see a few books on the bed, and these books are story books from a well-known bookstore in Shangjing City.

"I heard that Miss Lin made a fuss today and ran away from home, but she was caught before she left the city. The Prime Minister got very angry and went to the ancestral hall to serve the family. This family law is gone. , I’m afraid I won’t be able to recover until the wedding day.”

When people in the palace heard about things outside the palace, how could they reach her ears so quickly?
Lin Yan raised her eyebrows, "She came to beg the Ai family, and the Ai family would naturally help her. But my eldest sister has always been proud, and now in this situation, does she still think that the Ai family is the weak and pathetic little kid she used to be? ? Ha, ridiculous!”

The original owner was weak and could be bullied, but she was not. On the contrary, she was still a man-eating flower.

This news probably came from Xia Jingyan's people, but the instructions only reached her. There is a feeling of helping to vent one's anger, which makes people feel very comfortable.

Seeing that her expression was indifferent, Aunt Liu was relieved, "The Queen Mother is deeply affectionate, but they don't know how to cherish it, and they are used to using unscrupulous tactics. Fortunately, the Queen Mother is smart, in case she is What should I do if they cause misfortune to separate you from the Emperor?"

As the compliments continued, people's hearts became filled with joy.
Lin Yan waved her hand to tell her to stop talking, "Ai Jia is not the type to repay evil with kindness. If Ai Jia is offended, how can we make her feel better? Okay, Ai Jia is tired, let's rest."

Aunt Liu was about to put down the bed curtain when she suddenly remembered something, "By the way, Queen Mother, it will be the Emperor's birthday in a while, and it will definitely be a grand celebration. But now there is no one in the harem, and You are in charge of the Phoenix Seal, so..."

So I can only trouble you about this matter.

"Is this something that the Yi family needs to deal with?" She pointed at herself and looked at the ceiling with her big eyes.

"But the Ai family doesn't do that!"

"Don't worry, a female official will naturally do those things. The Queen Mother only needs to finalize it."

The whole process must not be done by her alone. How to handle it must be designed by the people in the etiquette department.

Lin Yan breathed a sigh of relief, as long as she was not asked to work. Moreover, she also had to find a way to get closer to the mission target.
