Quick Wear: Oh no, the lady is running away with the ball again

Chapter 172 The Living Abandoned Empress of the Cold Palace X The Invading Unruly Buddhist Son 6

"Yun Qian is not unhappy, auntie, I am so happy."

"Oh? That's not what you said before." Queen Yun smiled faintly, as if jokingly.

Yun Qian smiled faintly, looking at Queen Yun with a frank and profound gaze, and said without disguising anything, "Aunt, I said that before because Qi Heyao was the one chosen by His Majesty, the future monarch. It would naturally be great if the Yun family could form an in-law relationship with him. But now..."

Yun Hou's expression remained unchanged, with only a hint of admiration glimmering in her eyes. She continued to look at Yun Qian calmly, as if waiting for her to clarify her words.

Yun Qian chuckled softly, looked up into Yun Hou's eyes, and spoke in a steady and clear tone, "Now all signs indicate that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not an heir worthy of our Yun family's full training."

As soon as these words fell, Queen Yun's expression fluctuated slightly. Her eyes tightened slightly, but a hint of playful amusement appeared. "So, Qian'er, what do you think the Yun family should do?"

"My aunt has made remarkable achievements and has long been the backbone of Da Qi. She is also the undisputed leader of the Yun family. Her power is so great that other women can hardly imagine it. Now we want an heir who will be most beneficial to the Yun family. Are we afraid that no one will come to her?" Yun Qian's eyes were gentle and respectful, but with a bit of inquiry. The corners of his lips were slightly raised, and there was a hint of proud confidence in his tone.

She continued, "If we continue to place our bets on His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, I'm afraid not only will it be difficult to win the overall situation, but even to protect ourselves. Such an end will probably make future generations laugh to death."

Her eyes were deep and bright, with a frightening sharpness. She looked at Yun Hou with a look of intimacy, but she did not hide her extremely ambitious plan.

The Queen's gaze was indifferent, but the pride and smile in her eyes remained. The daughter of the Yun family lived up to her trust. She reached out and gently stroked Yun Qian's temples, brushing away the hair that had brushed against her face. She said gently but firmly, "Qian'er, you've finally grown up."

Yun Qian was slightly startled, then her smile deepened, with a light in her eyes. She seemed to look at Yun Hou more lovingly, as if she was proud of receiving Yun Hou's praise.

"Yun Qian was previously ignorant and didn't understand Auntie's good intentions. From now on, I will definitely learn from you. If I fail, wouldn't I be letting you down for all the training you've given me?"

Empress Dowager Yun smiled and raised her hand to signal her to sit down.

The Queen of Clouds looked at her and couldn't help but smile knowingly, with some approval in her eyes.

"In that case, I am relieved." Her voice was soft, her eyes were still gentle, but they contained a sharp insight that made Yun Qian's heart move slightly.

"Qian'er, you were still young in the past, and there were some things you didn't need to understand. But now, since you have this mind, you must learn to see clearly and keep it. This road is not easy to walk, and you must have a heart as steady as a rock. You know, although the Yun family seems to be standing on the cusp of the storm, it is also treading on thin ice. If you are not careful, you will get burned." Although the tone of Queen Yun was soft, it carried an oppressive majesty, as if she wanted to infuse the wisdom and trust of the family elders into Yun Qian's heart bit by bit.

Yun Qian nodded gently, her eyes gleaming with determination. "Qian'er understands. Don't worry, Auntie. Although Qian'er may not be able to fully shoulder the Yun family's burden right now, I will never let you bear it alone."

Seeing this, Queen Yun slowly nodded, a look of relief in her eyes. She paused for a moment, then whispered, "We both know Qi Heyao's character. The Yun family doesn't need an ally who isn't necessarily devoted to the family, and certainly shouldn't rely on such an unpredictable heir. It's just..."

The Queen of Clouds hesitated for a moment, as if she had encountered something difficult.

Yun Qian's eyes flickered when she saw this. "Aunt, I'm worried about the selection."

"Yes." Queen Yun smiled slightly. "Everyone knows that the harem is not prosperous in offspring. Qian'er, we have the intention, but finding a qualified one is not easy."

Although Queen Yun sounded worried about this, Yun Qian could see some clues.

"Qian'er thinks that my aunt probably already has someone chosen in mind."

Now, even Queen Yun was a little surprised. She cast a glance at Yun Qian below, and after confirming her unchanging proud eyes, Queen Yun was sure that this was undoubtedly her niece, but... a person could grow up so well in just a few months... Sure enough, she still had to use some method to force her.

That move was originally just a practice, and now it seems that she made a good move.

Yun Qian couldn't see all of Yun Hou's thoughts, but she could read in her eyes that she was right.

He must be the son of destiny, but... in this life he is just a Buddhist who abides by the rules and regulations, observes the precepts, and has been ordained.

……

What Yun Qian didn't expect was that Queen Yun just smiled without saying anything, and then asked her if she wanted to stay in a Buddhist temple for a while to calm down...

A hint of surprise flashed in her eyes at the right moment, but she immediately came back to her senses.

"If it's for my aunt's blessing, Yun Qian is willing."

Queen Yun looked at her, the smile in her eyes growing deeper. She gently patted the back of Yun Qian's hand and said, "Good child, your aunt believes in you."

When she came out of the palace, Yun Qian brought a bunch of things that Queen Yun had given her alone, as well as an imperial edict, which ordered her to go to Qianqiu Temple to pray for Da Qi, cultivate her body and mind, and comprehend the Buddhist teachings.

Yun Qian herself didn't expect that this opportunity would come so quickly. As expected, Queen Yun is her best helper and springboard at the moment.

Thinking of this, Yun Qian pinched the brocade bag containing the Ten-Herbs Tonic Pills in his sleeve, worrying about Queen Yun's health. After all, according to the progress of the previous world, Queen Yun would pass away in three years. At that time, many speculations emerged and there were many different opinions, but what everyone was more concerned about was naturally the next emperor, so they followed the emperor to the throne.

Gradually, no one thought about this matter anymore.

Meanwhile, Yun Qian pondered: What was his name in this world? How did he become a Buddhist at such a young age? How did he get to the Buddhist temple? Who sent him there? Empress Yun? Or the Emperor? Who adopted him since childhood?

Many doubts remain unanswered, and the system remains silent on this issue. Yun Qian thinks this is probably part of the difficulty of the upgrade task.

Yun Qian did not waste any time and went straight home with his things. After reporting to his parents and arranging everything, he went to Mingsi Mountain with a simple entourage the next day.

Yun Qian led his servants all the way to Qianqiu Temple. Outside the temple, there were towering ancient pines, accompanied by a faint scent of sandalwood. Among the dense bamboo forest, there were deep sounds of bells and whispers of Buddha.

Yun Qian kept silent, sent someone to greet them, explain their purpose, and stood outside the temple.
