Sister, look at him!

He Qingwan didn't even show up at the coronation ceremony.

The answer is that it’s cold and I don’t want to go out.

Instead of being angry, Jing Zhan felt even more guilty, and even had more resentment towards the old emperor who was already dead.

If it weren't for the old emperor, he would have already been engaged to He Qingwan by now.

Since childhood, he had always thought that He Qingwan would be his wife, but now...

This vermilion palace wall trapped He Qingwan, and also trapped him.

Did he fall in love with He Qingwan?

He didn't know either.

He only knew that it was his father who had let down the He family and He Qingwan. The son should pay for the father's debt, and he owed He Qingwan his whole life.

On the night of the coronation ceremony, King Yong and King Shu, who were stuck on the road, finally returned to the divine capital.

After Jing Zhan knew about it, he just calmly gave orders, telling them not to go to the palace today and to come back tomorrow.

The power in the court is now divided into three parts.

One is the new emperor's party headed by the He and Ji families; the other is the eunuch party and the Embroidered Uniform Guard headed by Kui Muyan. They support Empress Dowager Zhaoyuan and can also be regarded as the new emperor's party.

The remaining group is the neutral faction. No matter who they support behind the scenes, at least they remain neutral on the surface.

However, that force is too small compared to the other two and is not to be feared at all.

However, Jing Zhan couldn't help feeling annoyed when he thought of Kui Muyan staying in Changle Palace all day.

It just so happens that Kui Muyan is more difficult to deal with than the father and son of the He family combined.

It made him feel really helpless and furious.

Changle Palace.

In the small garden covered with snow, there is a patch of bright red lonsha vines. A huge white lion is lying in the vines and playing with the snow.

Soon, the aroma of food wafted in. The white lion couldn't help but straighten its body, and the Longsha gem also shook its corolla.

Unlike the ice and snow outside, it is warm inside like spring.

He Qingwan sat in the main seat. She was like a beautiful and rich flower in the world. She was adorned with gold, silver, and jade on her head and hands. But with her face, she did not look tacky at all, but rather more graceful and elegant.

The dishes on the table were all prepared by Mu Yan himself, all of which were He Qingwan's favorite dishes. From cutting the vegetables to serving them, no one else's hands were used, but he still felt uneasy.

【008, check if there is anything poisonous.】

[Ten points have been deducted, testing is in progress, testing completed, non-toxic. ]

"The Queen Mother will eat this." Mu Yan directly snatched the palace maid's job and served the dish to He Qingwan.

He Qingwan didn't move. She opened her mouth and Mu Yan fed the fish meat with the bones removed into her mouth.

Faced with the intimacy between the two, the palace maids and eunuchs all pretended not to see anything.

"How is it?" Mu Yan was a little expectant. This was the recipe he specially learned for the state banquet, squirrel mandarin fish.

"It's delicious, I love it, I'll eat it again next time." He Qingwan would not hide her likes and dislikes, she announced it openly to everyone.

Poison? Don't be ridiculous, her brother-in-law is the young master of the Divine Doctor Valley, and the two people around her, Chun Ma and Zhenzhu, are both excellent staff members of the Divine Doctor Valley. Besides, the most poisonous poison in the world is useless to her, at most it will only hurt for a while.

Moreover, she has the omnipotent Mu Yan by her side, who can easily control this world.

"And this." Mu Yan showed his joy. He scooped a spoonful of Longjing shrimp with a spoon and carefully put it to He Qingwan's mouth.

"Hmm..." He Qingwan stared at the dish in a daze, "The tea is pretty good."

Mu Yan said, "I got this tea from somewhere. If you like it, I'll send some over."

That was a top-quality tea tree he had obtained from a certain world of cultivation. It was given to him by his good brother, the Sword Immortal, who only loved wine.

Having said that, Mu Yan ordered the young eunuch who came with him to get some tea.

He never showed non-existent things in front of outsiders, so whether it was tea or gems, he had already made it clear early on.

……

When Jing Zhan came, he did not carry on the procession, and when he reached the door he did not allow the servants to inform him. As a result, as soon as he came in, he saw a scene that made him so angry that his liver hurt.

He Qingwan was slumped lazily on a cushioned chair as if she had no bones, while Mu Yan was feeding her soup carefully.

The huge white lion was lying on the side gnawing on a bone, just like a big dog!

The floor heating and charcoal stove in the house were burning very brightly, and as soon as you came in it felt like spring had arrived early.

"Ah Zhan is here." He Qingwan raised her jade hand slightly, and her slender white fingers with finger guards pushed Mu Yan's hand away. "Come and sit down."

"I come to pay my respects to Your Majesty and wish you all the best." Mu Yan put down the white porcelain bowl and saluted to Jing Zhan.

"No need to be so polite, Director." Jing Zhan didn't look at him in a good mood, but he didn't make any sarcastic remarks. No matter what, Kui Muyan was currently on his side.

Jing Zhan walked past him and sat next to He Qingwan.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Mu Yan straightened up and sat back in his original seat calmly.

"This snowflake crisp is delicious. I'll give you a piece." He Qingwan pinched a piece from the plate and handed it to Jing Zhan.

Eunuch Liu, who was standing behind Jing Zhan, was about to take the call when Jing Zhan gave him a neutral look.

"I have my own hands." He raised his hand to take the snowflake crisp handed to him by He Qingwan and put it into his mouth without any precautions.

too sweet.

Jing Zhan frowned imperceptibly. He liked sour and spicy food, but not sweet food.

"How is it?" He Qingwan asked him. She knew he didn't like sweet food, but this snowflake crisp was really delicious!

“Delicious.” The coldness in Jing Zhan’s brows melted away, and his sharp phoenix eyes became exceptionally gentle. He curled his thin lips slightly, revealing a faint smile, as if ice and snow were about to melt.

"This is made by Ayan himself." He Qingwan smiled softly, covering her lips with her hands, "This whole table of food is all made by Ayan."

Jing Zhan, who had just picked up the chopsticks, paused. He looked up at Mu Yan who was sitting opposite him. Mu Yan was peeling shrimps for He Qingwan. After noticing his gaze, he smiled at him.

Jing Zhan: ...suddenly I felt that the snowflake crisps in my mouth tasted very bad.

He put down his chopsticks and said stiffly, "I'm not hungry."

He Qingwan: “Oh.”

After a meal, Jing Zhan only ate a piece of snowflake crisps and didn't even drink a sip of tea. With a lot of anger in his heart, he snorted coldly and left.

After walking a short distance, he turned back and explained dryly to He Qingwan:

"I am not dissatisfied with you, but I just thought of something unhappy, that's all."

He Qingwan: “Oh.”

Jing Zhan: “…”

Yes, why would Wanwan worry about such things? She has always been free and carefree.

After returning to the Qianqing Palace, Jing Zhan felt a little restless. He paced back and forth with a frown on his face. After a long while, he said in a deep voice,

"Send the box of conch pearls in my private storehouse to the Queen Mother." Jing Zhan pinched his brows, "Also, send the chessboard made of warm jade and the tribute lapis lazuli bracelets to the Queen Mother."

Eunuch Liu received the order and was about to leave when he heard Jing Zhan say, "Topaz is the birthstone of the empress dowager. Find some jade carvings and send them to the empress dowager."

Eunuch Liu calculated over and over again the importance of He Qingwan in Jing Zhan's heart, and at this moment, he was finally sure.

This new emperor really treats Empress Dowager Zhaoyuan as his mother!
