Chapter 11 Queen Mother Chu

On the day when the Yan family’s father and son returned to the court with triumphant return, Empress Dowager Chu specially asked Emperor Ling of Qi to lead all officials to welcome him at Nanhuamen in order to show his glory.

The northern border is adjacent to Qi, and there will be frictions in many years. There will be constant wars between big and big, and when encountering barbarians, the Qi people have never won many times.

This time, in order to achieve harmony between the two countries, Empress Dowager Chu sent a mission to discuss, but the eighty-four missions were brutally massacred by barbarians, including three nobles and officials. The news came back to Qi State, and Empress Dowager Chu was furious.

With Yan Rong, the Marquis of Huaiyin as the head commander and Yan Jing as the deputy head commander, he led the Yan family troops to pacify the northern border. Everyone thought that the battle would take two or three years, but they never expected that it would take only half a year for the army to fight all the way to the northern border king's tent!

This is probably the most victorious battle in Qi State in more than 30 years.

Yan Luan was served by her servant and changed into a newly sent dress from Princess Yongkang. The Qi people were still blushing white and wore white or red clothes at major banquets. Her frost-colored black and blue skirts did not conform to the rules.

My mother is sure to let me wear this outfit?

The nanny was taking care of the luxurious jade group on her waist. When her fingers brushed the small pearls on the complex patterns, she couldn't help but smile: Nowadays, all the women in the noble family are pursuing beauty, so there is no rule. I see that the dress of the old master is the most suitable and very beautiful.

Princess Yongkang seems to love Yàn's dressing style very much. She has a deep waist, curved wide sleeves and follows the wind. A beautiful woman like Yan Luan looks slim and delicate as soon as she goes up. She is like a swaying moon in the water, gentle and seductive.

However, Yan Luan soon discovered a new problem. This style of trouser skirt not only shows her waist but also shows her chest!

Although she was thirteen years old, the pair of jade peaks on her chest were several times rounder than those of a woman of the same age. The front of her delicate collarbone was exposed. The flower-shaped white jade necklace was seen moving with the ups and downs on her chest, which made people jealous.

This style is a long-lasting owner that makes people change it. People are much more open than this, and the front is usually open to the shoulders.The nanny saw Yan Luan's hesitation and quickly explained a few words.

The current beauty is popular and will not restrict women from dressing conservatively.

Yan Luan nodded. At today's banquet, the Yan family is the protagonist. As the famous Weng-gun Mi Yang, Princess Yongkang knows more than anyone else how to dress up her daughter.

Does Yan Fei want to go?

The nanny holding the jade book was stunned and remembered something immediately and replied: The old master is afraid he doesn't know yet. That day, the old slave told the eldest master about the matter. The villain was sent to the Chu family that night. There is no news now, so he probably became a concubine.

Yan Fei has a special identity, and Princess Yongkang is not angry. It is already a blessing to leave her life to throw someone to the mansion of Chu Guojiu.

The Chu family is not stupid, and the eldest daughter sent her over like this, but she didn't say anything. She knew that she was a useless person and just gave her a concubine a name. She was afraid that she would do too much, but Princess Yongkang would hate her.

Princess Yongkang intends to not let her beloved daughter know about these miscellaneous things, so Yan Luan only now knows that she is no longer in the mansion.

Concubine?Forget it, let's go.

Yan Luan is not a saint mother. Every word Yan Fei said that day was shocking. If Chu Meng hadn't been timid, Yan Luan wouldn't know what would happen. It would be her luck to be alive.

When he took the car to the palace with Princess Yongkang, Yan Luan discovered that there were many more people on the streets and alleys, including the people who were celebrating and the soldiers who had not yet taken off their armor. All of them were smiling happily.

In short, the father and son of the Yan family were also considered geniuses in leading troops to fight, especially Yan Rong. According to historical records, he fought against the barbarians in the northern border, defeated the Jinwu Khan, and sent troops south three times, and finally took back the Thirteen County Governments, which was a great achievement.

And this time the pacification of northern border was his first battle to dominate the world with Yan Jing...

When the veil cart arrived at the palace gate, it could not enter any further. The family members of the aristocratic family had to transfer to the palace. Princess Yongkang, as the princess, had a specific guard of honor, and Yan Luan was also there, and the inner officials had been waiting early.

The eldest lord, the old man asked to chase him, and the empress dowager had been waiting in Changle Palace for a long time.

Perhaps it was the inner official whom Empress Dowager Chu served with him, and he spoke and did things without any leakage. Princess Yongkang smiled gracefully and helped him get on the sedan chair, and Yan Luan also got on the peacock on the side of the plate to chase the peacock.

When he entered the palace for the first time, Yan Luan was inevitably novel. The palace of Qi was not like the Forbidden City, which was a thousand years later, with red walls and glazed tiles, but the extremely solemn and dignified Han Palace. After passing Changhua Gate, you can see many powerful and noble female relatives attending the banquet. When Princess Yongkang came, she rushed to salute.

Okay, there is no need to be polite at the state banquet today. The ladies follow me to go to the Empress Dowager's place first.

Yan Luan's steps were next to her mother. This was the first time she saw Princess Yongkang like this. Although she smiled, the natural royal aura on Duanli's noble face made people feel unreasonable.

Holding the small folding fan in her hand tightly, she saw Jiang Fuyuan in the crowd, and just wanted to speak out when she remembered the current environment.

When they arrived at Changle Palace, Princess Yongkang took the lead in the main hall and led Yan Luan away slowly. At this time, there were many noble ladies in the hall. When she saw that Princess Yongkang was coming, she stood up to say hello, and even the Empress Dowager Chu, who was attending the seat, smiled.

A Mi was very happy today, come to the seat quickly.

Yan Luan then realized that Empress Dowager Chu called Princess Yongkang's name Yuan Mi. When Yan Luan was appointed as the Lord of Miyang, it was because of Princess Yongkang's love that she specially chose the best Miyang City from her fiefdom, which was the same as her name.

Empress Dowager Chu sat on the tenth-story jade platform, and prepared a seat beside her. Princess Yongkang took Yan Luan to the position after the ceremony.

After kneeling down, Yan Luan looked at Empress Dowager Chu who was talking to her mother. It has to be said that it was completely different from what she imagined. Chu, who was in her thirties, had elegant appearance, exquisite makeup, and elegant palace clothes. She was a little fierce and forced with every frown and smile.

After a month of absence, our A Luan is getting more and more beautiful. Why don’t you call her aunt?

Yan Luan, who was wandering in the nine heavens, was named, and only then did she find that Empress Dowager Chu was looking at her with a smile. The wife of the aristocratic family below also looked at her. With a hundred eyes watching, she was a little nervous.

The emperor's aunt praised her, and she dared not say she was beautiful in her appearance.

The girl's words were more playful, not too arrogant. Empress Dowager Chu smiled and waved her hand: This girl is so modest. So, go out to play, and you won't be too arrogant.

Thanking her, Yan Luan ran out of the hall first, stood under the corridor and took a long breath of fresh air. Jiang Fuyuan then chased after him.

Why are you running so fast? I just turned my eyes away.

Yan Luan complained: I was almost scared to death by Queen Mother Chu. The first time I talked to such a strong woman, my legs were trembling.

Don’t look at Chu’s smile when he spoke, but those eyes can’t deceive people. He doesn’t have any loving feelings at all. No wonder he will be criticized by historians for one of the most powerful women.

Jiang Fuyuan patted her chest and agreed: It's really scary, probably similar to Wu Zetian, and the woman in power is like this, but I think Princess Yongkang has a strong aura, and Chu seems to be a little worried about her.

Yan Luan nodded, could she ignore it? Although Chu is now in control, everything is suppressed by Prime Minister Wang Yong. Even Wang Yong covets beauty by herself. The only one who can compete with Wang Yong is the Yan family behind Princess Yongkang, so she naturally wants to win over it.
