The Eldest Daughter Is Beautiful and Saucy

Chapter 1142 Characters
Upon seeing this, Queen Dowager Yan turned away in anger.
Although she felt relieved, knowing that A Yan would not leave Yan State and them, as A Yan’s sister-in-law, she couldn’t help but feel heartbroken for A Yan because he fell in love with such a vicious and cold-blooded woman, and she was afraid that A Yan would be hurt by Bai Qingyan in the future.
Since ancient times, the word “love” has been the most helpless thing in the world.
She didn’t know whether she should tell A Yan about this and let A Yan be on guard against Bai Qingyan.
Feng Yao saw Queen Mother Yan step out of the threshold of the main hall and hurriedly saluted her.
Seeing Feng Yao who was sent here by Murong Yan, Queen Mother Yan felt even more sorry for Murong Yan and vented all her anger on Feng Yao: “The Ninth Prince led the army to fight for the country, but Eunuch Feng, who is a great martial artist, did not protect the Ninth Prince, but came to the Emperor of Great Zhou to show his courtesy. How… does Eunuch Feng want to follow the Emperor of Great Zhou in the future?”
This was the first time that Queen Mother Yan got angry at Feng Yao, but Feng Yao remained calm and composed: “Your Highness the Ninth Prince will be safe with Yue Shi protecting him! I am old and useless, so I shamelessly asked Your Highness the Ninth Prince for a job, and Your Highness sent me here to be a messenger between the two armies. I have no intention of serving the Emperor of Zhou.”
Queen Mother Yan tightly grasped Anu’s hand, snorted coldly, and left in a huff, but she felt more and more guilty towards Murong Yan in her heart.
She had previously doubted A Yan’s loyalty to Yan State and A Li, but she didn’t know… A Yan was the most pitiful one caught in the middle. She must not let the Emperor of the Great Zhou use A Yan.
After seeing off the Queen Mother of Yan, Bai Qingyan also came out of the main hall. She hoped that her words would allow the Queen Mother of Yan to put aside her doubts about Murong Yan, and allow Murong Li to proceed more smoothly when he proposed the merger of the two countries in the future.
“Your Majesty…” Feng Yao bowed to Bai Qingyan and said, “I’m afraid the Ninth Prince doesn’t know that the Queen Mother came to Pingdu City to look for Your Majesty this time. If I have offended Your Majesty in any way, please forgive me!”
“It’s not a big deal. Eunuch Feng’s army is about to set out. Let’s talk while we walk…” Bai Qingyan said.
“Your Majesty, please go ahead. I will be right behind you.” Feng Yao was very humble to Bai Qingyan. He followed behind Bai Qingyan and spoke first, “Your Majesty, do you want to know about Yuchan?”
“That’s right. I want to ask Eunuch Feng, the jade cicada that Queen Ji once gave to A Yan, was it something he had carried with him since he was a child, or was it given to Queen Ji later by someone.” Bai Qingyan glanced to the side and saw that Feng Yao was still slightly bent over, looking very respectful.
“Your Majesty, when I was serving Queen Ji, she had already entered the palace. She was carrying this jade cicada at that time. I once heard Queen Ji say that this jade cicada was the key for her to go home, and it was also a peace amulet given to her by her mother. Queen Ji also said… if it hadn’t been for this jade cicada that saved her life, she would not have been able to enter the palace! Later… there was a riot in the palace, and Queen Ji gave the jade cicada to the Ninth Prince.” Feng Yao answered truthfully.
This was given to Queen Ji by her mother, and it also saved her life…
Bai Qingyan calmly grabbed the purse containing the jade cicada. Could it be that Queen Ji had used this jade cicada to travel back in time?
“I have read many records saying that the family background of Queen Ji’s mother is unknown?” Bai Qingyan asked again.
“The family history of Queen Ji’s mother is not unknown. It’s that Queen Ji’s father favored his concubine over his wife and drove Queen Ji’s mother out of the house. After that… Queen Ji followed her mother’s surname and changed her name to Ji. Ning Chuao, the once famous general of Yan State, is Queen Ji’s biological brother from the same father and mother.” Feng Yao said.
Murong Yan had told her this before, but she had not expected that General Ning Chuao and Queen Ji had the same father and mother.
General Ning Chuao was born into a distinguished family in the State of Yan.
With Murong Yan’s instructions in advance, Feng Yao could be said to have told Bai Qingyan everything he knew, including all the secrets of the Yan State that were kept secret.
“So, could Queen Ji’s jade cicada possibly be from the Ning family?”
“This old servant really has no idea.” Feng Yao said.
Bai Qingyan nodded: “I am just curious, thank you for telling me everything, Eunuch Feng. Please tell the Ninth Prince that our Great Zhou army will set off immediately, along the north of the Danshui River, and go east with the Yan army.”
“Yes!” Feng Yao responded.
“Qingzhu, please see Eunuch Feng off…”
Shen Qingzhu made a gesture of invitation to Feng Yao: “Eunuch Feng, please!”
“Miss, please wait a moment…” Feng Yao saluted Shen Qingzhu, then turned around and saluted Bai Qingyan, “Your Majesty, the young master asked me to sort out all the bamboo slips and books left by Queen Ji and sent people to deliver them to Emperor Zhou. I also heard about the new policies implemented by Your Majesty in the Great Zhou, and suddenly I remembered the country that Queen Ji described to me when she was alive…a country where everyone is equal! If Queen Ji knew that her theories on governing a country could be passed down by her own son…”
The word “daughter-in-law” almost came out of Feng Yao’s mouth, but he swallowed it back. His eyes were red and he smiled and whispered, “Being valued by the monarch of his ally and having reforms already made, he will definitely be very happy! This old slave really wants to see it while he is still alive. In the future, he will follow Queen Ji and tell her that the world of equality that she once described has been realized! This old slave… also wants to tell the one who betrayed Queen Ji that her way of governing the country is right!”
Bai Qingyan stared at the kind-hearted old man in front of her. The wariness he once had towards her was no longer in his eyes. Instead, he was full of expectations, and he was even expressing his kindness to Bai Qingyan.
“Regarding those bamboo slips, they were all written by the Queen Ji after I ground ink. The Queen Ji always liked to chat with me while she was writing. I know a lot of things that were not written on the bamboo slips! This is why the young master sent me to Your Majesty! If Your Majesty needs me, you can send someone to summon me at any time. I will tell you everything I know! I hope… I can contribute to Your Majesty’s new policy and build the country that the Queen Ji wants to see as soon as possible.” Feng Yao bowed to Bai Qingyan again, and then said, “I’m leaving!”
Bai Qingyan looked at Feng Yao’s slightly hunched back, and the corners of his lips curled up slightly. This Eunuch Feng was truly loyal to Queen Ji. After Queen Ji passed away, he protected Queen Ji’s children. Now… seeing that she used the theories of governing left by Queen Ji to reform the country, he even expressed his last wish to clear the name of the deceased Queen Ji.
He probably not only wanted to let the Emperor of Yan who betrayed Queen Ji see that Queen Ji was right, he also wanted everyone in the world to see that Queen Ji’s way of governing the country was correct!
So loyal… He even supports Queen Ji’s philosophy of governing the country, which shows that Feng Yao is a very loyal and righteous person.
The fact that Queen Ji had such a loyal servant shows what kind of person she was.
