Empress, she is rising step by step

Not only the eldest sister can shine the lintel of the Cao family, but her younger daughter, who has always been disliked by him, can do the same.

But why was it that while she was happy and excited, there was an empty place deep in her heart, which made her panic and uncomfortable, making her try hard to catch something.

Suddenly, she seemed to hear a faint sound, like crying and complaining.

Is it him? I wonder how he would feel after learning that he was sleeping with him?

Why should she care if he was sad and couldn't sleep at night? They had nothing to do with each other, they were just acquaintances in the past. Even if she didn't enter the palace, nothing would happen to the Lin family, and there would be no possibility between them.

His strong mother would never ask them to be together. Only the emperor, only the emperor, could give her everything she wanted.

Listening carefully again, the Xiao sound was gone. She must have heard wrongly. He would not and would not dare to do this. She understands him.

Cao Wenxi secretly stretched out her hand to wipe the tears from the corner of her eyes. She turned around quietly, preparing to pick up the dress from the ground and put it on so that she could serve Shen Que to the court later.

As soon as she lifted the corner of the quilt, an arm suddenly lay across her body.

Shen Que closed his eyes and asked, "Why don't you sleep more? You woke up so early?"

Cao Wenxi did not dare to move. "I almost always wake up at this hour. Did I wake up the emperor?"

"No, I've always been a light sleeper." Shen Que placed his hand on Cao Wenxi's lower abdomen.

"Are you still feeling uncomfortable?"

Cao Wenxi's face heated up, "I'm fine, my concubine. Isn't it time for the emperor to go to court? I'll help you get dressed."

Shen Que opened his eyes and heard the chirping of birds outside the window, and the palace began to dimly light up. He sat up, and Cao Wenxi also stood up. After getting dressed, he helped Shen Que put on his court clothes.

The fact that Cao Wenxi was sleeping with him made some people sleepless at night, and Zhu Ci was not among them. She had no expectations for the emperor, so she couldn't be disappointed.

After a good night's sleep, she woke up refreshed the next day. Yawning, he walked slowly to the dressing table and sat down.

She heard Yan Qingshu's voice in the yard, "Is sister awake? I came to talk to sister and brought delicious food."

Zhuying said with a smile: "She must be awake, the master usually gets up at this time. Baolin be careful where you step, don't knock it."

"I know, you all treat me like a child. I only have eyes to see the road."

Yan Qingshu snorted and raised the tip of her nose in dissatisfaction, "Where's the dark cloud? Come and bring it to me to see. It's been a long time since we last seen each other. I miss it so much."

As she was talking, she saw a black cloud popping out of nowhere and running over, wagging its tail around her feet.

"Wow, I haven't seen you for a few days, why have you grown so fat? Like me, you like to eat and sleep, so eat after sleeping, right?"

Yan Qingshu bent down and held Wu Yun in her arms, touched its head, and held its paws.

"You are so heavy." Wuyun seemed to understand Yan Qingshu's words and barked twice, as if in protest.

"Okay, you're not heavy. You're like noodles." Yan Qingshu saw that Wu Yun was wearing clothes and had a gold lock around his neck.

"Did Sister Zhu make the clothes you are wearing for you? Sister Zhu didn't even make them for me, but you put them on first. You are so lucky. It seems that in Sister Zhu's heart, you are a little puppy They are all more important than me."

Zhuying explained: "Baolin misunderstood. It was the slaves, Cuilan and the others who had nothing to do. So they used the unused scraps to make some small clothes for Wuyun."

Before Zhuying could finish speaking, Yan Qingshu had already picked up the curtain and entered the room. She didn't know if she heard what Zhuying said. "Sister Zhu, are you up? Qing Shu is coming in. Don't be embarrassed. I won't laugh at you, sister."

Yan Qingshu asked, already jumping in.

Cui Lan was combing Zhu Ci's hair when she saw Yan Qingshu coming in and bowed her knees.

Zhu Ci didn't move, for fear of messing up her hair, and just rolled her eyes to look at Yan Qingshu.

"Why did you come here so early in the morning? Have you had breakfast?"

"No. I heard that in order to thank my sister, the imperial concubine ordered her to prepare food in the small kitchen in the palace and send it to her. I haven't eaten much food from the imperial concubine's palace, so I came to my sister's place shamelessly. A meal.”

Yan Qingshu felt very embarrassed when she came to Qifeng Palace for dinner at first. Once you are familiar with this, you will completely open your face.

Yan Qingshu pulled up a stool and sat next to the dressing table, watching Cui Lan combing Zhu Ci's hair.

"Sister Cuilan is really smart with her hands. She can do any hairstyle. But my sister is very good-looking, and she has won over many people just by her good hair. As expected, she is beautiful from head to toe."

Zhu Cixiao glanced at Yan Qingshu. "The little mouth is so sweet, is it covered with honey?"

"I'm telling the truth, right, Cui Lan?" Yan Qingshu raised her eyebrows and asked Cui Lan.

Cui Lan smiled and nodded, "My master has a beautiful face, and Yan Baolin is naturally beautiful. They are all good-looking."

"Hey, Xiao Cuilan is very good at talking. She has been with me for a long time. But she is not as good as I am at making my sister happy."

Yan Qingshu loves to talk, and she can't stop talking once she starts talking. Zhu Ci only answered once or twice occasionally to show that she was listening, while Yan Qingshu kept talking to himself for the rest.

Yan Qingshu tilted her head and stared at Zhu Ci's face, "Sister Zhu, do you know that Cao Baolin went to bed last night?"

Zhu Ci nodded and teased Wu Yun, "Everyone in the harem knows about it. It's hard for me not to know."

"When I came over just now, I met Zhuang Cairen. Zhuang Cairen was talking ill of Cao Baolin with Yu Jieyu, and seemed to be very dissatisfied with Cao Baolin's sleeping arrangements."

Yan Qingshu held up her cheeks and sighed, "How can she understand that the emperor didn't like her, so he didn't go to her place. What's going on with Cao Baolin?"

"That's right. As a big man as Zhuang Cairen, he might as well live a transparent life like our Qing Shu."

Zhuang Xiaoxiao couldn't understand this truth, but she couldn't blame the amorous emperor, she could only blame Cao Wenxi.

Otherwise, the jealousy and sourness would probably drive her crazy.

Zhu Ci handed Wu Yun to Cui Lan and asked her to take it out and let it play by itself.

"Come on, let's go have breakfast. Are you not hungry?"

"Hungry, I'm so hungry that my chest is touching my back." Yan Qingshu happily followed Zhu Ci to the dining room, where breakfast was already set.

Yan Qingshu's eyes instantly lit up when she saw the table full of delicious food. After Zhu Ci started to move, she buried her head and started eating.

"It's delicious. The food in the imperial concubine's palace is really excellent. Sister, can I discuss something with you?"
