After hearing this, Shen Yan raised her eyebrows. This person really didn't take her seriously. Even if she couldn't solve it herself, didn't she still have him? I didn't even think of relying on him.
Thinking of this, he felt like there was a fire in his heart that couldn't be stopped burning.
Lu Wan felt very strange in his heart. This tyrant was not happy at all when he heard the news. His face was so cold that it was hard to guess what he was thinking.
"Congratulations, Princess. Congratulations, Princess, for having such a brave, skilled in warfare, and extremely intelligent brother." The Minister of War Li Wu stood up and congratulated Lu Wan with a smile.
As soon as these words were spoken, all the officials reacted and raised their glasses. For a moment, words of blessing were heard in the hall.
"General Lu Wan is young and promising, he is truly a rare talent in our dynasty!"
"Yes, yes. They actually thought of a way to feign surrender. They are really resourceful."
"Let's say you go deep into the enemy's territory. This is something that an average person would never be able to do."
Sun Wenxu stood among the crowd, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. The words of congratulation were stuck on his lips, but when he caught a glimpse of the empress dowager's expression, he forced himself to hold them back.
"Lu Changxin is indeed a pillar of our dynasty." The Queen Mother smiled, "Princess Shen is so lucky to have such a good brother."
Lu Wan smiled, neither humble nor arrogant: "Thank you for the compliment, Queen Mother."
The Queen Mother waved her hand and said, "Reward."
Lu Wan thanked him and returned to Shen Yan. At this moment, the officials' families sitting around him came to him one after another to get close to him, and Lu Wan was almost unable to cope with them.
"Princess, you are so naturally beautiful. I wonder how you maintain it on a daily basis." A beautiful woman in blue came close to Lu Wan. Lu Wan quietly moved away from her. Although they were both women, it was not appropriate for them to be so close.
What's more, she had applied so much powder to cover the human skin mask, and this person actually praised her like that. He was really lying with his eyes open.
Just as she was thinking this, she heard Shen Yan laughing and staring at her with interest.
Lu Wan didn't understand and glared back, only to see more and more beautiful girls surrounding her.
"Yes, Princess Sister, the headdress on your head is so beautiful, where did you buy it?"
"And this skirt, the fabric feels really special."
As soon as these words were spoken, the family members began to touch Lu Wan's clothes. The latter blushed with shame and could not utter a word.
"This is the floating light brocade specially supplied by Luzhou."
Lu Wan only felt that her collar was lifted up by some force, and when she came to her senses, she had already broken through the encirclement of the beautiful girls.
Chen Yan held her in his arms and said, "If you like it, just let your husband buy it. My princess is shy by nature, so I won't gossip with you."
Chen Yan is handsome and domineering, making Lu Wan look like a little bird. The two of them standing together are truly a perfect match.
Therefore, the women did not feel offended and dispersed with blushing faces.
Seeing this, Shen Yan let her go and lowered his head to drink.
Seeing that he looked unhappy, Lu Wan thought that this tyrant was handsome and most women usually surrounded him. Today, she stole his limelight and he must be unhappy about it.
Out of the corner of his eye he saw Shen Yan glance at him, and he thought again: This tyrant is so petty. They are all married wives of officials, what is there to be jealous of? He already has so many beautiful girls at home.
She didn't even look at him anymore and lowered her head to take a sip of wine.
Chen Yan just felt very annoyed. He didn't know why he did this. He just felt very upset and annoyed to see her surrounded by so many people, with even her ears blushing.
He saw her drinking with her head down, and thought she was very well-behaved. He had carefully prepared everything for her, from her headdress to her shoes and socks.
At that time, even his personal guard Qin Zhao was confused and asked, "Master, is it necessary?"
He looked indifferent and said, "I just don't want her to lose face for the palace."
Qin Zhao nodded, thoughtfully.
After the palace banquet, the palace servants went back home.
The empress dowager sat high in the hall. The little emperor had been taken back to the bedroom by the palace servants to sleep. She stepped away from the palace servants around her, leaving only Shuncai standing quietly aside.
"It's true that good fortune will come to those who are lucky." The queen mother looked sinister, "I wanted to take the initiative and force Chen Yan to abolish his own princess."
When Shuncai heard this, he felt confused, his lips moved slightly, and he seemed a little hesitant.
The Queen Mother glanced at him and said, "If you have anything to say, just say it."
Shuncai then plucked up the courage to ask, "Queen Dowager, why didn't you take action earlier?"
The Queen Mother took a sip of tea and said, "I have already made arrangements, but it's a pity that the people around Shen Yan are all useless, and none of them caught his eye. Even my advice to him to depose the Queen was ignored."
"He is not stupid. He knows that it is not only me who wants Lu Changxin dead. When the news of treason came out, the border was intact. I don't know whether it is true or not. It is hard to believe. If I deal with the Lu family rashly, something unexpected may happen. Then Lu Changxin will have a grudge against me when he comes back. I originally wanted to use the pressure from all officials today to make him break with the Lu family, but I didn't expect Lu Changxin to win the battle so quickly."
The Queen Mother added: "This evil has lasted for a thousand years. If we win this battle, we will be even more famous. I'm afraid our influence will be limitless in the future. Even I can't suppress it."
Shuncai stepped forward and held the Queen Mother's shoulders, saying, "The Queen Mother is second only to the emperor, and above all others. How can she not suppress the rebellion? If we pacify the border this time, we will have nothing to worry about in the future. If Lu Changxin dies, there will be no talent available on the border, and I'm afraid there will be chaos."
The Queen Mother said coldly: "It's okay to be chaotic, but it's just some refugees dying on the border. They can't attack the capital anyway."
Shuncai paused as he was massaging her shoulders. He saw the Queen Mother looking over from the corner of his eye and quickly said, "Let me massage your legs."
The Queen Mother nodded, slowly stood up, turned sideways to look at the Emperor's seat, and walked over slowly.
Shuncai followed behind the Queen Mother, not daring to even breathe.
The Queen Mother sat down slowly, looking down at everything in front of her, putting her hands on the handrails and rubbing them gently.
"In the past, I was at the mercy of others. Now, I will never let this happen again."
Inside the palace.
Lu Wan had already taken off his human skin mask and was now washing up.
Chen Yan looked unhappy all the way. As soon as he returned home, he went into the study and no one knew what he was busy with.
Lu Wan looked around at this quaint room and cried out in her heart: She missed his cell phone, IPAD, and notebook so much.
After reading books for so many years, I traveled here for no reason. It's bad enough that I was bored all day long. I also have to face the queen mother all day long. Even this tyrant is moody and it's so infuriating.
Lu Wan changed his mind and thought that since the tyrant said he was in the study, he might have gone to visit his sister Bai Xue. The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, and he couldn't help but curse in his heart.
