The Eldest Daughter Is Beautiful and Saucy
Chapter 894: Great credit
Chapter 894 Great Contribution
Murong Yan’s facial features are more angular than Murong Yu’s, his outline is more resolute, and his handsomeness carries an extremely strong masculine air.
Especially those eyes, which were calm and deep, making it impossible to tell whether he was happy or angry. He exuded an extremely intimidating aura, appearing tall and deep, making people dare not approach him. Unlike Murong Yu, who always had a very gentle smile between his eyebrows, making people involuntarily want to get close to him.
Queen Yan called out to Murong Yan just like Emperor Yan did: “Ah Yan, come to your sister-in-law…”
As soon as she finished speaking, Queen Yan’s nostrils flared and tears flowed unconsciously. The heart-wrenching pain came again. She tightly grasped the brocade under her body and almost fainted.
Murong Yan responded and walked to Queen Yan’s side, kneeling on one knee. He remembered that when he met his sister-in-law a few years ago, she still looked like a little girl. Now, she had silver hair and looked haggard. He called out in a hoarse voice, “Sister-in-law.”
Since his brother’s death, Murong Yan endured the grief and used thundering means to suppress those nobles who attempted to disrupt the Wei state. However, when he had some free time, Murong Yan could not recover from the grief and had difficulty falling asleep.
Later, he received a letter from Bai Qingyan, and his insomnia was slightly relieved.
Today, Murong Yan came to see Queen Yan. In order not to make Queen Ji sad again, he tidied up his appearance before coming, making himself look more energetic. However… the deep red bloodshot under his eyes still revealed that Murong Yan was in great pain.
“I’m sorry you’ve suffered so much during these years away from home…” Queen Yan’s voice was extremely gentle. She wanted to raise her hand to touch the top of Murong Yan’s head like her husband, but she found that her arms were too sore to lift. She hooked her lips at Murong Yan with difficulty, “Sister-in-law knows that your brother must have passed the throne to you. His Majesty told me before, and I nodded.”
Queen Yan let out a long breath: “Ali is young and immature. Your brother passed away early and he can only feel at ease if the throne is handed over to you. However… I also have my own selfish wishes. I hope A Yan can fulfill my wish.”
Queen Yan’s tone was somewhat guilty. She looked at Murong Yan with sorrow in her eyes and asked in a low voice in a negotiating tone: “Ayan, can you pass the throne to A Li in the future? The matter of passing the throne between uncle and nephew…can we decide it before you ascend the throne?”
“Sister-in-law, I have never thought about this throne…” Murong Yan looked at Queen Yan with his deep dark eyes. His eyes were as calm as water, but he seemed to be able to see into your heart at a glance. There was an inexplicable depth. “It is true that Ah Li is young, but he is not immature. No matter what… I am here. I will support him on the road ahead!”
Hearing Murong Yan’s words, Queen Yan burst into tears. She reached out her trembling hand and held Xiao Rongyan’s hand. She was just judging the emperor by her own narrow-mindedness.
She knew that the Emperor of Yan chose to pass the throne to Murong Yan out of consideration for the State of Yan, but she was Murong Yu’s wife… She didn’t want to see the throne fall into the hands of someone other than Murong Yu’s descendants.
She was not a person with great ambitions like Murong Yu and Murong Yan. She was just a woman who could not bear to see that the family fortune earned by her husband could not be inherited by his offspring.
“It’s your sister-in-law who is sorry for you!” Queen Yan cried and apologized to Murong Yan.
Murong Yan shook his head.
After pacifying Queen Yan, Murong Yan came out of Emperor Yan’s bedroom, but was blinded by the bright sun in the sky.
Feng Yao followed Murong Yan out and closed the palace door. Seeing Murong Yan standing with his hands behind his back and closing his eyes in the dazzling sunlight, he followed Murong Yan and called softly, “Young Master…”
“Uncle Feng, it’s time to announce the funeral…” Murong Yan said in a hoarse voice.
“The imperial decree from His Majesty allowing the young master to succeed to the throne is still here with me.” Feng Yao looked up at Murong Yan’s tall and straight profile, “I think the young master should inherit the throne according to the master’s wishes.”
Murong Yan turned to Feng Yao and said, “Uncle Feng, bring the imperial edict, call Ah Ping and Ah Li, and tell them that I am waiting for him in Lan Feng Pavilion.”
Feng Yao responded respectfully: “Yes!”
·
Lanfeng Pavilion was the palace where Queen Ji lived in Kuangping, the old capital of Yan State. There was also a Lanfeng Pavilion in the imperial palace in Dadu City, but its name had been changed long ago. There was also a Lanfeng Pavilion in Yandu… and they were all decorated according to the appearance of when Queen Ji lived there, and were exactly the same as the Lanfeng Pavilion in the old capital of Kuangping.
Murong Yan held the imperial edict in his hand, stood in front of the open window of Lanfeng Pavilion, and gazed at the crabapple flowers in full bloom in the courtyard.
The sun is shining brightly, and the crabapple trees are illuminated by the golden sunlight, giving the crabapple flowers on the branches a layer of golden glow.
A gust of wind blew by, and the gilded bronze bells hooked on the Xiangfei bamboo curtain under the corridor rang lightly, and the petals of the crabapple flowers fell on the corridor with the wind… and fell on the window, and fell at Murong Yan’s feet.
As soon as Murong Ping and Murong Li stepped into the palace gate of Lanfeng Pavilion, they saw their uncle standing in front of the window, staring at the crabapple tree in a daze. The two looked at each other and hurried inside.
Inside the hall, there were several copper crane lamps with flickering flames, gauze curtains swaying slightly in the wind, and scattered crabapple petals scattered all over the ground.
Murong Ping and Murong Li walked around the screen with the landscape painting and saw that there was no servant in the huge palace. Their uncle was holding the will in his hand. They hurriedly clasped their fists in the direction of Murong Yan and saluted: “Uncle Jiu…”
Xiao Rongyan said in a low voice, turned around and looked at Murong Ping and Murong Li, walked to the table and knelt down, put the will aside, waved his hand to signal the two to sit down, and asked: “Come on, Uncle Jiu asks you… Who do you think is the most capable of taking on the important task between the two of you brothers?”
Murong Ping was startled, his eyes fell on the will in Murong Yan’s hand: “Uncle Jiu, my father’s will is to let you succeed to the throne.”
In fact, Murong Li knew that Uncle Jiu had no intention of succeeding to the throne since he learned that Uncle Jiu had used thundering means to deal with the royal family of Wei. Murong Li walked to the opposite side of the table, knelt down opposite Murong Yan, and looked at Murong Yan seriously: “A Li knows that Uncle Jiu has never planned to succeed to the throne, but my father has already told me that we can only feel at ease when the State of Yan is handed over to Uncle Jiu. My brothers and I must become Uncle Jiu’s most powerful blades to help my Yan State complete the great cause of unification…”
Seeing that his brother had calmed down, Murong Ping also stepped forward and knelt down beside Murong Li: “Uncle Jiu succeeded to the throne, and we brothers are all convinced. If it weren’t for Uncle Jiu… Yan State wouldn’t be in the situation it is today. Uncle Jiu has made great contributions.”
“If Uncle Jiu is worried that my methods in Wei State are too harsh and that outsiders may think that the king of Yan State is tyrannical, A Li is willing to be Uncle Jiu’s blade from today on…” Murong Li said solemnly.
“My brother is too young! I’ll do it!” Murong Ping clasped his fists and said to Murong Yan, “Just say that when we were in Wei State, I forced Uncle Jiu to do everything!”
