Empress, she is rising step by step

Chapter 26 Trouble in Weiyang Palace

Cao Wenxi glanced at Yueran and said, "It's not that easy. You think she's sincerely good to me, but she's just looking at the benefits."

Yue Ran didn't understand. The master is now unable to protect himself, so what is there for Zhu Yunu to take advantage of? There are so many concubines and concubines in the palace, and it is not the master's turn to take advantage of them.

"The emperor has never seen such a beauty, how could he like me? The incident at Chunseyuan last time is enough to prove that I am not liked by the emperor."

Cao Wenxi squinted at the lake in the distance. The surface of the lake rippled slightly, sparkling with golden light, and a pair of mandarin ducks rose and fell with the waves.

"Master, why do you have to be so presumptuous about yourself? I think you are no worse than other ladies, you are just a bit less lucky."

Yueran didn't want Cao Wenxi to have such thoughts all the time. She was unlucky enough to be assigned to work next to her master. She felt envious when she saw others following her master to benefit from it.

Finally, the master's health gradually improved, and he had the idea of ​​​​fighting for favors and sleeping with him. He must not die after receiving a blow. What can she do then.

Yueran said with a somewhat disdainful expression: "I hope that even with a background like that of the imperial concubine, you can be favored by the emperor. Why can't you, master? You are the best in my heart. It's just that the time has not come yet."

How could Cao Wenxi not know what Yue Ran was thinking. She never had a good life with him, but suffered all kinds of humiliation. It was reasonable for her to desperately hope that she could win the emperor's attention.

"You have been wronged by following me. I can only do my best and obey fate. If I am destined to live a miserable life, I can only wrong you."

"This slave will not feel aggrieved if you stay by your master's side. Although your life with your master is simpler, your master is easy-going and treats your slave very well. It's not too late for you to repay your kindness."

Yueran said sweetly: "It is said that everything is planned by heaven. I think it is up to people to plan things. If God is a conscientious person, he will not let the master bury himself in vain. But the master himself must have this heart, otherwise No matter how good your destiny is, it’s useless.”

Cao Wenxi was surprised that Yueran would say such words. Yes, if she continues like this, she will only become a victim of the harem fight.

When she is gone, she is gone. It is just a life, and there is nothing worth cherishing. But if she died, her aunt would not be able to survive day after day in the house, even if she was heartbroken.

"You do know how to understand people. But that's right, you have to fight for your breath in life, otherwise your life would be so miserable."

I was worried all the way back to Weiyang Palace, my legs were already sore.

Although she was almost recovered from her illness, her body was still very weak, and her legs began to tremble after walking for so long.

Cao Wenxi held Yunxi's arm into the yard and heard noisy sounds coming from her house, including the sound of things falling to the ground.

Cao Wenxi felt nervous and walked quickly to the door. An embroidered pier fell in front of her with a bang, almost hitting her foot.

She was startled, holding her hands on her chest and looking into the house. She saw that the beautiful woman who lived in the same palace with her was leading people to rummage through her room aggressively. The floor was already in a mess.

"Stop! What are you doing?" Cao Wenxi rushed into the house and yelled.

"Anyone who allows you to touch anything in my house, please get out!"

"Hey, Sister Cao is back. I heard from the people serving you, didn't you go to Qifeng Palace as a guest? Why, they didn't take a fancy to you and kicked you out." Wen Yuanyuan covered herself with a handkerchief. The room was filled with dust, which made her cough.

Her eyes fell on the loose-flowered silk ribbon in Yueran's hand. She glared hard and snorted: "It turns out that I was mistaken. I came back because I took advantage of others and my face was dull. That's right, even a palace maid. After becoming a master and having such glory, sister, you really have no shame in staying in Qifeng Palace."

"Where I went and when I came back have nothing to do with you, beauty."

Wen Yuanyuan's humiliation made Cao Wenxi's face heat up. Perhaps it was intense shame, or she was angry because of being poked into her heart. Her energy and blood surged, and even her fingertips began to tremble.

Cao Wenxi took a deep breath and said, "Why did Miss Wen bring so many people to my house and leave me in such a mess? No matter how you say it, I am still a sixth-grade Baolin. Are you going too far to bully others?"

"Sister, don't get me wrong. There is a rat in my house, and it keeps squeaking in the middle of the night, making it difficult for me to sleep well."

Wen Yuan smiled with round lips and stared sideways at Cao Wenxi, "I'm afraid there are some in your house too. You are already weak, and I'm afraid you'll be even more unhappy if there are any more mice in the house. So I'll take people to look around to save you the trouble. Worry about it.”

Wen Yuanyuan's face was clearly provocative, and Cao Wenxi's hands in his sleeves clenched yours so tightly that his long nails dug into the flesh without feeling any pain.

"I won't bother you, Miss Wen, with my affairs. Get out! Otherwise, I will tell the Queen about this."

Wen Yuanyuan was unhappy and deliberately wanted to find trouble for Cao Wenxi. Now that she has said this, there is no need to stab the Queen.

She chuckled, "Oh, I'm so scared. This is the first time I've seen you speak so loudly. It's like buzzing like a mosquito on weekdays. Since you don't know a good person's heart, forget it."

Wen Yuanyuan rolled her eyes, rubbed Cao Wenxi's shoulder and led the others away in a swagger.

Cao Wenxi staggered and sat on his seat holding the table. Her whole body was shaking uncontrollably, and she was so limp that she had no strength at all.

"Wenmei is really too much of a bully. He humiliates you just because he has a higher status than you. You have lived without a mouse for so long, why do you have one today? I think Wenmei is deliberately venting your anger."

Yueran's voice was choked, "Master, please stop crying. You are already in poor health, so don't hurt your eyes from crying anymore."

Only then did Cao Wenxi realize that he was crying. She didn't know how many times she had cried. Why? Why? She just wants to live well, why is it so difficult, why does everyone have to force her? !
  With tears in her eyes, she watched Yueran hand over a cup of tea, which was already a little cold. She didn't hold it steady, and the teacup fell to the ground and shattered, soaking the hem of her skirt.

"It's because I'm so useless that I'm so insulted. Beautiful lady..." She murmured in a low voice, tears flowing into her mouth.

"I will remember today's humiliation, and I will pay it back bit by bit."

Zhu Ci found that today's meal was a little richer than usual, and there were a few extra portions of sweet and sour preserved fruits. After asking someone from Shangshi Bureau, I found out that Shen Que had given the special order.

Zhuying's smiling eyes narrowed into slits, "It shows how much the emperor loves my master. He even knows exactly what you like to eat and what you don't like to eat."
