Traveling through the emperor, overthrowing the empress dowager at the beginning

Ye Chen took a carriage and soon entered a village.

This village was the same as the villages Ye Chen had seen before, with many thatched earthen houses that looked very simple.

But the strange thing was that there were not many people in the village, and the people who were seen were all carrying bamboo baskets filled with bamboo, vines and other things, and were walking in a hurry.

Moreover, Ye Chen also noticed that most of these people did not look pale on their faces.

It seems that his life is better than that of many people in the capital.

When the carriage that Ye Chen was riding in arrived at a tavern in the village, a graceful figure exuding a charming temperament appeared in front of the carriage.

"Here, here, here, Mr. Ye, my boss has been waiting for you for a long time!"

Yu Niang twisted her snake-like waist, waving a palm-leaf fan in her hand, and quickly came forward.

As soon as Ye Chen saw Yu Niang, his eyes lit up. After getting off the carriage, he walked forward and held Yu Niang's hand.

"Yu Niang, I haven't seen you for so many days. Do you miss me?"

Ye Chen said with a smile.

Hearing this, Yu Niang was slightly stunned, as if she had been electrocuted, and wanted to pull her hand back.

But Ye Chen's hand was held very tightly, and she couldn't pull it away for a while. She felt quite shy. Her usually tactful skills became a little bit helpless in front of Ye Chen, and she didn't know what to do.

And she really couldn't understand why Ye Chen, who was usually so domineering and decisive, suddenly became like a playboy.

And strangely enough, she didn't find it offensive.

You know, if anyone else dared to do this to her, she would have drawn her sword long ago.

at this time.

"Yu Niang, please come in, Mr. Ye."

Murong Yan's voice suddenly came from the tavern. Yu Niang woke up as if from a dream and quickly pulled her hand back while Ye Chen was distracted by the voice.

"Mr. Ye, please come in. My boss has prepared some good wine and wants to have a drink with you."

"Well, that's fine too."

Ye Chen nodded and walked into the tavern.

Shen Qiu just glanced at Yu Niang with a complicated look, and then followed behind Ye Chen.

In the main hall of the tavern.

A pot of water was already on the stove, with a pot of wine in it.

In addition, there were many delicacies on the table in front of Murong Yan.

However, in Ye Chen's opinion, most of these delicacies were not worth eating, and the only dishes that were worth eating were just noodles.

But even so, he still sat down happily and cast his eyes on Murong Yan.

At this time, Murong Yan was wearing a purple-red brocade dress, which showed her nobleness to the fullest. She did not wear a mask as usual. Her stunning and charming temperament was displayed in front of Ye Chen without reservation.

Ye Chen was stunned for a moment before he coughed lightly and said, "Boss Murong, your guess is quite accurate. How did you know that I would definitely leave the city?"

After Ye Chen heard the rumors in the capital, he immediately planned to leave the capital, but he did not inform Murong Yan before this.

Hearing Ye Chen's words, Murong Yan smiled and said to Ye Chen: "Your Majesty, don't forget that I am well-informed in the capital. As long as I send someone to pay attention to whether the carriages leaving the palace have left the capital, I can guess whether Your Majesty has left the palace."

"Oh."

Ye Chen raised his eyebrows and then asked with a smile: "Yan'er, are you saying that as long as you know that I might leave the palace, you will stay here to guard me?"

"So you want to see me so much?"

"You're not willing to miss any possible opportunity?"

Upon hearing this, Murong Yan was slightly stunned, and her beautiful face flushed slightly, but this little bit of girlish attitude did not fade her beauty, but instead added a bit of girlishness.

"Your Majesty, you must have something important to discuss with me."

Murong Yan quickly changed the subject and her expression gradually returned to normal. After all, she was a woman who had seen many ups and downs and would not always be sentimental.

"Yes, I do have something important to talk to you about."

Ye Chen also nodded at this time, but he did not talk about business immediately. Instead, he picked up the bowl and chopsticks.

"But let's eat first, and then we'll talk."

Ye Chen picked up a stewed chicken leg and placed it directly in Murong Yan's bowl.

Murong Yan was slightly stunned, and her expression immediately became strange.

This was the first time a man had picked vegetables for her.

You have to know that Dayu was a country with strict moral ethics and ethics of male superiority and female inferiority. Even though Murong Yan was from the Xianbei tribe, among the Xianbei women, they had to kneel when the men ate.

This is even more serious than that of Dayu.

Not to mention, Ye Chen is the emperor, the most noble man in the entire Dayu.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Murong Yan had mixed feelings, feeling flattered but also faintly happy.

"No need to be so polite."

Ye Chen felt that Murong Yan was a little restrained. Could it be because he was the emperor?

However, Murong Yan looked quite different with such restraint, which gave Ye Chen a new feeling.

After three rounds of drinks, the meal was almost finished.

Ye Chen suddenly turned his head and looked at Shen Qiu who was standing beside him.

"Just eating is too greasy, Qiu'er, I saw someone selling mulberries on the road, go buy some."

Ye Chen suddenly said.

Hearing this, Shen Qiu frowned slightly, looked at Murong Yan again, and then clasped his fists towards Ye Chen and said, "Yes."

"Your Majesty, Xia Ju and his men are outside. Let me know if you need anything."

"Ah."

Ye Chen smiled slightly, and after Shen Qiu left, he suddenly put away his smile and looked at Murong Yan with a serious face.

"Yan'er, let's talk business now."
