Empress Lin Ance

**
The night in Yangzhou is endlessly prosperous, like another city that never sleeps in Chang'an.

Chu Qingyan and Li Jingjing were walking on the street, and in the eyes of others, they were both talented and beautiful.

Someone also recognized Li Jingjing, and at the same time as saying hello, they took advantage of the opportunity to look at Chu Qingyan who was at the side.

"Oh... This is the person Miss Li has been thinking about for a year, he really is so handsome!"

"Yeah, no wonder Miss Li can't marry him, they are really talented and beautiful..."

Listening to what they said, Li Jingjing blushed, but seeing that Chu Qingyan hadn't moved, she explained to others.

Chu Qingyan sighed, bought a lantern with rabbits at a stall, and handed it to Li Jingjing.

Li Jingjing was very pleasantly surprised, and took the lantern, "The little rabbit on it is very beautiful, but it might be better if it can be embroidered with embroidery, so that the whole rabbit will be colorful."

No one in Yangzhou has ever sold this kind of lantern.

Chu Qingyan smiled, and finally turned serious to her, "Miss Li, you are actually right, not only lanterns, people should also look forward."

Hearing her words, Li Jingjing was obviously taken aback, then slowly lowered her head, she understood the meaning of the words.

For a moment, look up.

"Master Yan, is it my fault?"

She raised her small face, her eyes persistently asking for an answer.

"No." Chu Qingyan shook her head.

"I'm wandering around, I don't have a fixed place, I'm awkward and mean, and I may be a die-hard in the eyes of others. Do you think I'm not good?"

Li Jingjing desperately shook her head.

"My son is obviously a very good person, but they don't understand you. You saved me and many people. You are obviously very good!"

"Yes, but you have only been in contact with me for two days, do you really understand me?" Chu Qingyan smiled lightly.

Li Jingjing is a very good woman, so Chu Qingyan didn't want to lie to her.

"I saved a lot of people, but I can't change the fact that I killed a lot of people. Maybe I'm a stubborn bad guy in essence."

"No! You're not!" Li Jingjing was a little excited.

Chu Qingyan reached out to pat her on the shoulder, but stopped in mid-air, "Yes, I am not, I will never underestimate myself like this."

"So you must be clear that you are fine, and never demean yourself because of other people's preferences."

After finishing these two sentences, Li Jingjing obviously calmed down, thinking about what Chu Qingyan said.

He said she was fine.

Correct!
She is obviously very good, she has opened her own embroidery workshop in the past year, she is an embroiderer praised by everyone in Yangzhou, and the embroidery she makes even attracts the attention of the Weaving Department.

Although she can't forget Mr. Yan, she is even annoyed by her elder brother to talk to her and persuade her to be a husband and a son.

Li Jingjing finally felt relieved, "I'm sorry, Mr. Yan."

"Actually, I'm not all for you. Sometimes when I get annoyed by my brother's nagging, I will use you as a shield to block the marriage that my brother wants me to find."

"I am such an excellent embroiderer, and everyone in Yangzhou likes my embroidery. Why do they have to learn how to teach husbands and children?"

Chu Qingyan was slightly taken aback.

She thought about the era of women's rise, and thought that it would be natural for women to be the masters of the house, but she never thought that Li Jingjing would be one of them.

"Li Jingjing, you are really nice." This time, Chu Qingyan said her own name.

Li Jingjing smiled, still shy but not cowardly.

"Of course I'm fine, and I also want to be, a very good person, just like you."

……

When she went back that day, Li Jingjing changed out of the yellow plain skirt she had been wearing all along, and changed into a rare red skirt.

Li Muyang was shocked, knowing that since his little sister was rescued by Yan Qing a year ago, she has fallen in love with Huang.

Now, why... put it down?

It was late and the moon was hazy.

When Chu Qingyan went back, Mu Dan took good care of her, brought her tea and water, and claimed to clean her up.

She pushed it away immediately, and looked at Huyan Xingchi very directly, "I have said everything that needs to be said. As for whether Li Muyang is willing to help you, it depends on your luck."

She spread her hands, and directly smashed it.

After finishing speaking, he turned around directly, opened the door and left, Huyan Xingchi followed her away, shaking his head and laughing.

"That's it, will the eunuch handle it?" Mu Dan scratched his head.

"It's not important." Huyan Xingchi said suddenly.

Mu Dan frowned, "It doesn't matter why, in order to let Li Muyang help us, Ah Qing sacrificed her appearance!"

Huyan Xingchi glanced at him, knowing that Mudan's brain power is limited, he had no choice but to explain:
"Actually, it doesn't matter whether we go to the prefect's mansion or not. I have enough resources in Huyan Xingchi to collect enough supplies."

"But I want to see what kind of person our military adviser is."

He couldn't see through Yan Qing. From the grassland to the Central Plains, from Chang'an to Yangzhou, Yan Qing walked steadily every step of the way, but there were times when he didn't expect it.

However, Yan Qing is a person worthy of deep friendship.

A person who has strict requirements on himself and deeply implements the principles will never do heinous things even if the bottom line is challenged.

If it was like Mu Dan, if he heard such a good thing, he would have rushed to catch up.

"Hey! What do you mean by that expression, you look down on me?" Mu Dan stared at him.

"Good guess."

Huyan Xingchi didn't bother to care, got up and shook his sleeves, brushed his clothes and left.

……

After a busy day, Master Chu sat in a tub filled with hot water to relieve his fatigue.

"Boom boom boom——"

"Who?"

Chu Qingyan was startled, opened her eyes instantly, and grabbed the clothes beside her.

"Young Master, I am Mingxiang."

Mingxiang?

What is she doing here so late?
Chu Qingyan quickly got dressed, and opened the door after getting dressed neatly. Ming Xiang stood outside the door with a smile on her face.

"What's the matter, girl?"

Ming Xiang stood at the door, and glanced inside intentionally or unintentionally, "Master, don't you invite me in for a sit down?"

Chu Qingyan pursed her lips, put one hand on the door frame, and looked at her with great interest.

"It's getting late, girl, please go back, it's not suitable for lonely men and widows."

After speaking, she let go and prepared to close the door.

Ming Xiang remained motionless, but her smile deepened, "Lonely men and widows, it's really not suitable for us, right?"

Chu Qingyan's hand to close the door suddenly stopped.

She looked up, not surprised.

Seeing that she was unmoved, Ming Xiang simply spoke to the end, "I have been obsessed with men and women since I was a child, others can't see it, and it's true that I can't hide it from me."

"The girl's disguise is really clever, but it can't change the fact that you are clearly a woman."

"..."

For a moment, Chu Qingyan regretted saving this person.

However, since Mingxiang decided to come to her, it meant that she did not intend to disclose her identity to the public.

Sure enough, Ming Xiang stared at her and continued: "Don't worry, I don't want to reveal your identity, it won't do me any good."
