Chapter 196 The Queen's Determination



The Prince of Yan's Palace has become a thing of the past, and the wives and concubines in the palace have entered the palace one after another and become concubines of the new emperor.

The princess moved into Kunning Palace.

She stood at the majestic and solemn gate of Kunning Palace, looking at the two large characters "Kunning" embroidered in gold and carved on the plaque, a smile of victory appeared on the corners of her lips.

From then on, she was no longer the Princess of Yan, Tan Tai Shu Ya, she was the honorable Queen Mother of Daqing, the queen respected by everyone.

"Mother, you targeted me in every way. Have you ever thought that I would live in your palace?" The new queen, Tan Tai Shuya, smiled.

It is said that the Empress Dowager went to Mount Taihua to rest.

But in the Queen's view, the Queen Mother was not resting at all, but was clearly forced to leave the palace. Relying on the support of the empress dowager, the Xie family led a group of old ministers to criticize the new policies promulgated by the new emperor. For the sake of the overall situation, the new emperor sent the empress dowager out of the palace.

The emperor is ruthless, and there may be a rift between mother and son.

The young queen smiled and moved into Kunning Palace proudly. She had suffered a lot in the Prince of Yan's Mansion before, and Li Yuanjing was dissatisfied with her in many ways.

After thinking about it, the queen decided to go and meet the emperor. The queen carefully put on her makeup and looked at her no longer charming face in the mirror. She felt helpless. In the past few years, in order to take care of the children, she had lost her beauty and her husband's favor.

Fortunately, there is always a way out. The Bodhisattva appeared and she was reborn.

The queen brought her palace maids to Chang'an Palace where Li Yuanjing handled state affairs.

"Empress." The eunuch beside the emperor came to report respectfully, "Princess Zhaoyang is in the palace. Please wait outside the palace for a moment."

The queen was not annoyed and waited outside the palace with the palace maids. The queen glanced casually and suddenly found that the eunuch who delivered the message looked familiar.

He has a youthful appearance and clever eyes.

Isn’t this the eunuch Deshun who was beside Shen?

Shen was driven out of the palace, but Deshun was lucky enough to become a eunuch serving the emperor. This position has a lot of history. After serving for a few more years, the position of Chief Eunuch will sooner or later belong to De Shun.

"Your master has been driven out of the palace. Why don't you go out with him to serve him?" the queen said sarcastically.

Deshun smiled and said, "Water flows to the lowest place, and people go to the highest place. I have only one master, the emperor."

The queen's smile widened.

Chen Wei, oh Chen Wei, after enjoying great glory for a year or two, she ended up with such a miserable ending. The servants around him scattered like birds and beasts, which was really pitiful.

Just as the queen was gloating, the sound of footsteps was heard at the gate of Chang'an Palace. Zhaoyang's eyes were red as she walked over the palace threshold with a wave of her sleeves. It was obvious that she had just been scolded by Li Yuanjing.

"Zhaoyang, why are you crying?" the queen asked with pretended kindness.

Zhaoyang wiped his tears and said, "Don't worry, sister-in-law."

Zhaoyang felt depressed.

In the past six months, the city of Yanjing has been in chaos. Her father and brother the crown prince were killed by her third brother, her second brother succeeded to the throne, the queen mother left the palace, Shen Wei was abandoned... A series of blows fell on Zhaoyang, and she felt at a loss.

She felt like she was in a big river flowing eastward, with the water rolling around her and pushing her downstream.

The situation changed too quickly and she couldn't adapt. Today, Zhaoyang went to the palace to see the emperor, hoping that he would take Chen Wei back to the palace, but he was severely reprimanded and Zhaoyang had to leave in grievance.

The Queen had always disliked Zhaoyang and deliberately teased him, "You are not young anymore. When the war in Liangzhou stops and Young Master Yan returns, I will make the decision to let Young Master Yan become your consort. Women have to get married eventually, and at your age, it will be difficult to get married if you delay any longer."

Zhaoyang is already twenty years old, but has not yet married, and rumors are spreading throughout the city of Yanjing.

"My princess's marriage is decided by my brother, so I don't need to worry about it." Zhaoyang snorted coldly, "New people are coming to the palace one after another, so I should focus on the harem, lest the new people take away the queen's power and become a joke in the harem."

After saying that, Zhaoyang turned away.

The queen grinds her back molars. This unruly and headstrong princess would be punished by her sooner or later.

The queen restrained her expression, put on a gentle and calm face, and walked into Chang'an Palace holding Liu Ma's hand.

"I pay my respects to His Majesty." The Queen knelt respectfully. She raised her head and looked at Li Yuanjing who was sitting at the desk.

Li Yuanjing was wearing a dragon robe, with an upright figure, and memorials were neatly laid out on the long sandalwood desk. He was holding a wolf-hair brush in his hand, his features as strange and fierce as ever.

Facing the queen, Li Yuanjing looked normal: "What's the matter?"

His voice was calm, without any emotion.

The queen knelt on the ground, looking at Li Yuanjing sincerely: "Back then in the palace, I made a big mistake. I have been facing the wall for many days and have changed my ways. From now on, I will take on the responsibility of managing the six palaces and will not slack off."

Li Yuanjing put down his brush.

He said in a normal tone, "It's good that you think so. Stand up."

The queen was delighted.

As long as she mends her ways, stops neglecting her duties, and manages her concubines and children well. Perhaps the emperor will slowly remember her kindness, and the unfamiliar relationship between husband and wife will slowly recover.

After pleading her case to Li Yuanjing, the queen left happily.

Chang'an Palace was quiet and peaceful. The incense from the crane copper furnace slowly diffused. It was cold in January and the Chang'an Palace was deserted.

Li Yuanjing looked at the pile of memorials on the desk and rubbed his brows wearily as he thought of the various disputes in the previous dynasty.

Eunuch Deshun came in with a cup of tea and placed it gently next to the table. She also asked the palace maid to bring two soft golden cushions and gently place them on the chair behind Li Yuanjing.

Li Yuanjing slowly opened his eyes, picked up the white jade teacup and took a sip. The elegant and fragrant tea has a slight spicy taste and a rich rose scent. Take a sip and your stomach will feel warm.
