In the years of famine, I was well versed in history and pampered the Northern Army

Seeing that the Queen was quiet, Lu Yan planned to explain to her in detail why he did this.

From the first time Chu Qingyin delivered food to them, to the subsequent floods, sneak attacks, and even the subsequent floods and sending away Nan Xiang's women, each and every event was so thrilling.

The queen was listening nearby and broke out in cold sweats many times.

"This... this is truly too dangerous. I never thought you'd have to survive so many near-death experiences. It's a shame I wasn't by your side, and you've had to endure so much..."

Lu Yan comforted his mother and explained to her why he wanted to build the ancestral temple. She expressed her understanding.

"Build a ancestral temple? You think that's the right thing to do. After all, she has done so much for you. It's only right that we give her our lives."

The queen was sweating all over from fear, and the more she thought about it, the more frightened she became.

"We don't know the witch's name yet. We just know that she is related to the bracelet. She is always connected to the bracelet to send us gifts. Other than that, we know nothing about her."

"That's a problem. After all, if you don't know anything, then worshipping her will be a problem. But this bracelet was given to you by your Xu Mumu. Perhaps you can ask her and get some results."

"Thank you, mother."

After chatting for a while, Master Xu appeared.

"Hey, let me see, your son has finally come back after so much anticipation."

Xu Luohan held Lu Yan's hand and circled around him, feeling very happy.

"It's been a long time, you've become a grown man."

Lu Yan smiled:

"Mum, you haven't changed at all in all these years. You're still as beautiful as ever."

It is indeed as Lu Yan said. As the chief imperial preceptor of Yunjin State, Xu Luohan is unprecedented and will never be surpassed, not to mention that there were not many female imperial preceptors before her.

Especially now, although she looks like an ordinary person, she is nearly 40 years old and unmarried and childless. However, she looks about the same age as Lu Yan, and those who don’t know her would mistake her for a girl in her early twenties.

Moreover, Yunjin is also a relatively patriarchal society, but Xu Luohan lives a comfortable life without relying on men.

"Hey, after all this time, I think you've been around girls. Why are you so sweet now? I remember you weren't very talkative before."

"Mum, you're making fun of me again..."

Lu Yan touched his nose and blushed visibly.

Xu Luohan acted as if she knew everything and didn't say anything further.

It’s just that Lu Yan is curious:

"Mommy, is there any secret behind the bracelet you gave me?"

Xu Luohan was curious:

"Why are you asking this? That bracelet is made of the best materials I have, specifically for you to keep you safe. As for the secret, there shouldn't be any."

It’s not that Xu Luohan doesn’t know the secret of this bracelet, she just thinks that Lu Yan shouldn’t find out.

Lu Yan looked at Xu Luohan, who seemed to know very little, and felt a little disappointed, but he did not continue to ask:

"Thank you, Mom. I just find it novel. This bracelet seems to have some magical power. I feel like I have escaped death many times because of this bracelet."

Xu Luohan just thought it was a compliment to herself:

"Hey, you're talking so sweetly now. You've worked so hard to earn all the credit, and you're giving it to your mom. Hahaha, this bracelet is just a gem, and a gem is just a piece of stone. It can't save your life."

As he was saying this, an uninvited guest suddenly appeared outside the door.

"Long time no see, my royal brother has become stronger and healthier now."

"Yes, I didn't expect you to come back alive from the battlefield. You are truly blessed by God."

Lu Zhou was the eldest prince. He walked over from afar with a faint smile on his face. As a prince, he was dressed in an elegant and luxurious manner, which was quite unusual.

He said "chu luo" was originally used to describe girls. She saved him the most and read the most on weekdays. Isn't this a vivid example of yin and yang?

"Thank you very much. I never thought that one day I would be able to see my royal brother again."

There was no smile on Lu Yan's face, he just saluted.

After the Yin and Yang of Lu Yan, the two of them went to see the Queen one after another. This was against the rules, but he was the Crown Prince, and the two were brothers from the same mother. Even if the Queen was dissatisfied, what could she say?

"Get down quickly."

The Queen smiled and stopped looking at them. The atmosphere that was just full of joy suddenly froze. Xu Luohan also felt it, so she went back to Yin Yang:

"Didn't His Majesty say that the Crown Prince and the Second Prince were busy with government affairs every day? How could they have the time to waste chatting with your brother here today? I'm afraid you'll have to work late into the night tonight, right?"

Originally, the eldest son should be the heir apparent instead of the most virtuous, and the eldest son should be the heir apparent instead of the most virtuous. This was a rule passed down by our ancestors to avoid chaos in the country. However, Yun Jin was in a state of neither high nor low because of the Imperial Concubine, and Lu Yan, as the most honorable son of the Empress, was also at the mercy of others.

"Master Xu, why is he in the palace instead of staying at the observatory? Aren't you afraid that people will accuse you of colluding with the harem?"

Lu Wei glanced at her with disdain.

"It's not your turn to lecture me right now. My current position is under the supervision of the Emperor, and the Empress is my immediate superior. Entering and leaving the harem is my freedom, and it's none of your business."

"What does it have to do with me? Now that Yunjin has fallen to this point, these 40,000 beggars can recapture the hundreds of thousands of Nanxiang troops. You still have the leisure to chat with me here? Think carefully about whether Lu Yan is colluding with foreign enemies!"

Xu Luohan was not annoyed:

"Of course I have thoughts. If you doubt it, then show me the evidence. If you don't have any evidence, then it's pointless to talk about it. You're just envious of others' strength."

"you……"

Apart from Xu Luohan, no one dared to let Lu Wei suffer the consequences.

"Okay, stop talking. We're here today to congratulate our third brother and to inform him that we'll be attending the celebration banquet in three days."

Lu Zhou looked elegant and graceful, with a perfect smile on his face. He was truly a lovely man.

"I see."

Lu Yan said lightly.

If nothing unexpected happens, he will definitely be ganged up on by them, and some ways to deal with him have already been thought of.

"I'm waiting to see you perform well, Lu Yan."

In front of the Queen, they didn't even pretend to be brothers.

Although she seems to be the queen, in fact the entire harem is under the control of the imperial concubine.

Less than five minutes after they left, another sound was heard, and in the distance, sedan chairs were lined up in three rows.

"I haven't seen you for a long time. I wonder if you miss me. I haven't paid my respects to you these days because the emperor has been pestering you. You haven't been feeling well, so I had some free time today, so I came to see you and the Third Prince."
