On the Day I Ascended the Throne, I Found Out That I Was the Villain - Chapter 33

Fu Ling Xian was also a little uncomfortable around Her Majesty.

Her Majesty seldom spoke when discussing affairs with the Empress Dowager. She looked like the Empress Dowager’s answerer and will not disobey any orders of the Empress Dowager.

But Fu Ling Xian always felt that sometimes the other party looked at her, and it seemed to be a little sad and pleading as if she was forced to and needed her help at that time.

Although it has been a long time, Fu Ling Xian still remembered that Her Majesty woke up after being poisoned, summoned her immediately, and said convincingly: “Aunt Huang… I know it must not be you who poisoned me.”

Is it that simple?

Fu Ling Xian doubted this very much.

Just like now, the other party looked at her with admiration and sighed: “The imperial aunt’s house is still so simple.”    

Fu Ling Xian said: “I seldom stay at home, and I am not good at it.”

Ping’An looked up at her and asked, “Will Sister Yunping take care of family affairs?”

The other party’s pale and small face was wrapped in a fluffy scarf, and her hair was neatly tied into a small braid on the top of her head. Red and green agate, but there is still fluffy fetal hair on the sideburns, the ears are so white that the tiny blood vessels are exposed, and the neck is so thin that it seems to break if you pinch it.

She means that Her Majesty looks like a fragile and beautiful little thing, like a kitten or puppy that stretches out its paws to scratch you, but it only makes you feel a little itchy instead of painful.

This reminded her of Ting Yun’s childhood.

Fu Ling Xian knew that she was likely to have a heart, but she still couldn’t help lowering her voice, as if raising her voice would startle Her Majesty: “Yun Ping is not in good health, and she is not suitable for a housekeeper. I have been in the army for a long time. I’m used to this kind of life.”

“Oh.”

Her Majesty lowered her head, revealing a white and slender neck, Fu Ling Xian couldn’t help but said: “Your Majesty should eat more on weekdays, she looks too thin some.”

Fu Ping’An raised her head again, blinked her eyes, and said: “My mother said that if you eat too much, you will easily accumulate food and get sick. Moreover, she said that you can’t eat too much of a dish. It will be bad if someone poisons you again.”

Fu Ling Xian said: “Then eat a few more dishes.”

Fu Ping’An: “…Didn’t the imperial aunt say that the palace should also be economical, the palace is extravagant, and the same goes for the better, which is not good for the country.”

Fu Ling Xian: “…”

She seems to be have proposed so.

Fu Ping’An licked her lips and looked at the new dishes in front of him. Two attendants tried it before Fu Ping’An could put down her chopsticks. Fu Ling Xian also felt that it was not easy being an emperor, so she couldn’t help but sighed.

Fu Ping’An looked at her again, her eyes brightened: “Aunt Huang, can I go and play with Sister Yunping later?”

In this short conversation, Fu Ping’An mentioned Yunping twice.

Fu Ling Xian remembered that Yunping came back too, and it had been a long time since a thought about food and tea. Once she laughed while eating, Fu Ling Xian asked her what she thought of, and the other party hesitated, saying that she thought of Her Majesty.

Fu Ling Xian thought about it and found it understandable. Yunping didn’t like to go out these years and kept herself locked in the room. The only playmate of her age was Her Majesty.

Last night, Yun Ping came to her study especially and asked with some anticipation if she could chat with Her Majesty for a while. When she said this, the eyes of the other party were shining, and she looked like a different person in peace.

At that time, Fu Ling Xian could only say: “It depends on what Her Majesty wants.”

Yun Ping looked a little disappointed when she heard this.

Now it seems that Her Majesty is the same.

Fu Ling Xian thought for a while and said: “Your Majesty is tired during the banquet. If you want to rest, I will arrange the room, but you have to ask someone to protect you.”

After meeting with Yunping for a while, she immediately replied: “That’s natural, I will call the imperial guards to guard.”

Fu Ling Xian nodded.

So full of wine and food, Fu Ping’An yawned and said that was going to rest, so the officials stood up and saluted her. She brought Chen Yan and was led to the backyard.

Passing through the veranda, they could not hear the noisy sound of the central hall gradually. Fu Ping’An glanced left and right and saw that there were several winter sweet trees planted in the yard, which had already grown buds.

She looked at the eaves and the roof. Before Fu Ling Xian returned from South Vietnam last year, her house was refurbished with funds allocated by the palace to commend her victory. But at the beginning of this year, someone impeached, saying that the decoration is beyond the standard, implying that she has a heart of disobedience.

The Regent wrote a letter and said bluntly that she was not responsible for the repair work, and that she was completely ignorant of it. This was a deliberate frame-up.

Fu Ping’An also felt that this should be framed by someone. The Prince Regent is currently re-setting the etiquette system. These rules were originally proposed by her, so she doesn’t have to slap herself in the face on the bright side.

Fu Ping’An originally thought that it must be people from the Queen Mother’s Party who disgusted the Regent, but after analysis by Bo Mengshang, she found that the person who wrote the impeachment letter was the Regent’s person, that is to say, it was more likely that the Regent found out and then she directed and acted out this incident so that the person who was waiting for the opportunity to mess with her lost the opportunity.

In short, society is very complicated, and Fu Ping’An still has a lot to learn.

Thinking of this, she was led to a room, and the attendant of the Prince Regent’s Mansion knocked on the door, and the door opened, Princess Yunping was about to rush out in surprise, but seeing this attendant, suppressed her smile, and said: ” It’s you.”

The attendant bent down and stepped aside: “Your Majesty has come.”

Fu Ping’An was also really happy, stepped forward a few steps, looked up and down Princess Yunping with burning eyes, and then found: “You have grown taller.”

Princess Yunping was obviously about the same height as her before, but after not seeing her for a year, she was a head taller than her.   

Princess Yunping’s expression of surprise turned into disgust: “The first sentence is this, come in quickly, it’s very cold outside.”

She welcomed Fu Ping’An in, stared at the attendants outside, and said, “Go away, don’t overhear us.”

But the attendant said, “If you are far away, I’m afraid you won’t be able to protect the nobleman in time.”

He said so while looking around the room, there was only one maid in the room, who was kneeling on the ground and saluting, but the room was dark and she couldn’t see her appearance.

Princess Yunping scolded him: “What are you looking at?”

The attendant said: “Don’t worry, the princess, the little one will protect you at the door.”

Princess Yunping snorted angrily, walked into the room without saying anything, and closed the door against him heavily.

Because of the cold weather, thick felt curtains were added to the doors and windows, so after closing the door, the room was darker, and the light from the gaps in the curtains was not enough for lighting. There were also a few copper lamps in the room, and hot tea was burned on the stove., the maid served tea to Fu Ping’An, Fu Ping’An took it, and was about to drink it when she saw the bullet screen and said——

 [Mu Chenjun: This maid looks a little strange.]

 [Molin kaza: It’s strange, take another look.]

Fu Ping’An put down the teacup and looked at the maid. The maid lowered her head and could only see the top of her black hair and some white skin—speaking of it, the skin was abnormally white, as if it had been powdered.

Fu Ping’An said: “You raise your head.”

As soon as the words fell, the maid hadn’t said anything yet, and Princess Yunping burst out laughing.

Fu Ping’An’s puzzled expression turned into panic when the maid raised her head. It was not the face of a young maid at all, but an old man; who could tell his age.

Still an old man.

 [Dong Yu: Oh, my mother scared me.]

Fu Ping’An stayed where she was.

 [Fish fans: Tian Yan?]

This barrage brought Fu Ping’An back to her senses. When she saw the old man in front of her, although he was wearing ridiculous makeup, he looked at her with a smile, and his eyes were kind. Somehow, there was a touch of intimacy in her heart. She immediately restrained her expression, and said in a low voice: “Lord Tian?”

The other party nodded.

 [Insomnia day by day: … a monster, it’s a monster.]

 [Whether Wei Jin: You can’t say that; he is hardworking.]

 [Taro Bobo Milk Tea: I thought it was that kind of old pedant, but it turned out to be so open-minded.]

Tian Yan was stared at by Fu Ping’An for a long time, and he felt a little uncomfortable. He wanted to reach out and touch his beard, but in vain, he remembered that he had already shaved his beard.

Alas, for the sake of big things, we can only be informal. Fu Ping’An also found out, and immediately bowed and saluted, saying: “Mr. Tian has paid a lot.”

Tian Yan smiled and said: “It’s okay.”

Because they were worried that people outside would hear it, the two voices were very quiet. At this time, Princess Yunping stepped aside and started playing the piano. The sound of the piano gradually increased, overwhelming their voices.

Tian Yan looked Fu Ping’An up and down, with a look of relief on his face: “Your Majesty looks very good, like Mother Xiao.”

With just this sentence, Fu Ping’An’s throat rolled, her nasal cavity was sore, and she was about to cry.

She has not thought of her mother for a long time.

When she first entered the palace, she often thought of her parents, but then everything in life became more and more overwhelming for her. She was driven forward like a cow being whipped, and she didn’t even stop to think about the past time. All the things gone.

The faces of her father and mother began to blur in her mind, and now she needed to think very hard to remember what they looked like.

But Tian Bin’s words made the image in her mind suddenly clear. She looks a bit like her mother, especially in her eyebrows and eyes.

“Tian Gong…” She wanted to call her uncle, but for some reason, she didn’t.

Tian Bin said: “How dare Your Majesty call me that, the old man is terrified; Your Majesty just calls him old man.”

Fu Ping’An said: “Although I saw Mr. Tian for the first time today, Mr. Tian has helped me a lot. If it weren’t for Chen Yan and Ah Zhi, I don’t know what the situation today would be.”

Tian Bin sat on his knees and said solemnly: “Your Majesty has done well enough, or rather, it was unexpectedly good. It can be said that she is very talented and intelligent. ”

Fu Ping’An was a little embarrassed by the praise, and said weakly: “No…”

Tian Yan put away his smile when he heard the words, and said with a serious face: “If you are a king, why should you be too humble, Your Majesty is smart, you are a person of the world blessing.”

 [Peace is a blessing: Praise the group leader.]

 [Baby Ping’an is so cute: You’re right, boast more.]

 [I really want to see the moon: the initiative is in his hands.]

Ping’An was taken aback by these words. She was a little awkward at first as if she didn’t need to take the initiative in everything, and the other party was just praising her.

But she suddenly remembered that when she first entered the palace, it was because of this idea that she made Qin He master the Jingui Palace step by step.

Qin He is a slave, so she can take back this power at any time, but what about a courtier? What about relatives?

Fu Ping’An came to her senses, separated from the admiration she felt when she first saw her relatives and looked at Tian Yin again.

“Tian Gong is right, so stop gossiping. I have to see Tian Gong today. I wonder if Tian Gong has anything to tell me?”

Her gaze returned to calmness, which surprised Tian Bin.

He was going to ask Fu Ping’An directly if she wanted to know the way to break the situation, but now he changed his mind slightly, and the words he said became: “Your Majesty understands the current situation in the court.”

This is an itchy question, simple for me, this knowledge point is just learned.

Fu Ping’An said: “It’s been almost three years since I entered the palace, and everyone who should know it already knows… Even half a year ago, the Queen Mother was strong and the Regent King was weak; but now the Regent holds military power, and the Queen Mother is finding it difficult to shake it off. Civil servants are controlled by the Queen Mother, but the military officer must listen to the Regent, but now the situation has changed a little…”

Fu Ping’An talked eloquently, but she couldn’t stop talking. Tian Bin became more and more frightened the more he listened, and he immediately he thought of Bo Mengshang, but in his opinion, even if Bo Mengshang herself came, she might not be able to say what Her Majesty said.

Has anyone else contacted Her Majesty?

After thinking about it, Tian Yu felt that it was wrong. The Queen Mother and the Regent should not be so careless.

That is…

He looked at the eleven-year-old child in front of him, and quickly concluded——

Her Majesty is a genius.
