Empress, she is rising step by step

Chapter 63 Retribution

Zhu Ci glanced at the food box in Yan Qingshu's hand and said with a smile: "You came here just after the rain stopped, and you ran so fast. There are puddles everywhere, and the ground is slippery. If you bump or fall, you will be hurt. There are times when you cry.”

"I'm thinking about Sister Zhu in my heart. I just want to come to Qifeng Palace as soon as the rain stops, so I can't think about so much." Yan Qingshu pouted.

The palace maid standing behind her covered her mouth and snickered, "Mrs. Zhu, you don't know, my master has been sighing in the palace these days, thinking about your condition. Maybe God is afraid of being nagged by my master, so hurry up Stop the rain."

Yan Qingshu turned around and glared at the palace maid with shame and anger, "I'm not as nagging as you said. It's really raining and I can't go anywhere. It's really boring to be bored in the palace all day. I'm so obsessed with those female red chess, calligraphy and painting I'm not interested, I can only stare at the roof in a daze, it's so boring. Fortunately, God is still wise."

Yan Qingshu stepped forward and took Zhu Ci's hand affectionately, tilting her head and staring at her face.

"My sister's face looks much better. The past few days when my sister was ill have been more uncomfortable for Qingshu than when she was ill."

"I'm worrying you. It's not a serious illness at all, just a cold. All the doctors in the palace are very good at Xinglin. It's hard for me to think well."

Zhu Ci asked Cui Lan to quickly bring out delicious food. She pulled Yan Qingshu to sit on the couch near the window.

"I thought my sister was sick, and her mouth must be bitter and tasteless. I brought some food to Sister Zhu, so she can eat some when she has no appetite."

Yan Qingshu opened the food box and took out two plates of preserves. One plate was made of green plums, carved into the shape of plum blossoms. The other dish is perilla, plum and ginger.

"My sister drank the medicine. She can take some candied fruit and it will not be so painful. Every time I drink the medicine, it is so painful that I feel like vomiting, but I can't get better without taking the medicine. It's really sad."

She frowned and sighed heavily, then brought out another plate of radishes. Red and white radishes met, cut into small pieces, and decorated with a few red peppers.

"This is a radish, pickled with vinegar and chili. It's so delicious. I can eat two whole bowls of rice with it. The Queen Mother also likes it very much. My sister must try it when she eats."

Seeing Yan Qingshu muttering, Zhu Ci couldn't help but feel warm in her heart. Regardless of whether she is really innocent and harmless or just pretending, it is heartwarming to think about her illness.

She also liked to eat, but as soon as the carrot was brought out, her saliva began to secrete like crazy, and she was a little hungry.

"Qing Shu is the one who really knows me. It smells sour and spicy, looks delicious, and has a beautiful color. I feel a little hungry just looking at it."

"As long as sister likes it." Yan Qingshu laughed heartlessly after hearing what Zhu Ci said.

"Sister, isn't there a small kitchen here? Just ask them to make simple meals. You don't have to wait for the guys from the Food Bureau."

Zhu Ci had no appetite because of her illness, and only drank a bowl of porridge in the morning. She ordered Zhuying to make some simple food and invited Yan Qingshu to join them.

Yan Qingshu felt a little embarrassed, "I just wanted to visit my sister, but I didn't expect that my sister's meal was in vain. I'm really sorry."

"What's there to feel bad about? I can still afford to take care of a meal. You also took so many things, I'm sorry."

Zhu Ci took a piece of mutton and put it into Yan Qingshu's bowl. "You can eat more. Pear meat is added to it, and the water used to cook the meat is boiled with the dewdrops on the pear flowers. Not only does it not taste greasy, but it also leaves you with a clear taste." sweet."

"No wonder it tastes extra delicious to me." Yan Qingshu stuffed the meat into her mouth, giving a thumbs up and smiling with crooked eyebrows. "

"My sister still knows how to eat. But I can't eat more. The Queen Mother said that if I continue to eat like this, I will not look good in my clothes. The emperor's brother will definitely dislike me."

Zhu Ci was stunned. Yes, Yan Qingshu is Baolin and will definitely sleep with him in the future. She calmly raised her eyes to look at Yan Qingshu. She would shake her head when she was happy with her meal. Although she ate big mouthfuls, it was not indecent at all, but made her very appetizing.

The face is round, the skin can be broken by blowing, and there are two dimples on the cheeks when she smiles, which is very cute.

"You are still young, and it is the time when your body is growing. And you are so cute and fleshy. You look like you are blessed. I don't think you will gain weight even if you are fat."

"That's what I said, but the Queen Mother doesn't like me doing this, and is worried that eating too much is bad for my health."

Yan Qingshu touched her belly. In front of the table full of delicious food, he swallowed his saliva in dismay.

"But it's not bad for this meal. I have to eat it when I have dinner. Sister, don't tell anyone else."

Zhu Ci lit the fire and made a promise, filled a bowl of soup and handed it to Yan Qingshu, who took a sip from the bowl. He sighed with satisfaction.

"Sister, have you heard that there was a ghost in the palace last night? I heard the cry of a baby. Do you think the stillborn child of Lu Yunv was resentful, so she wandered around the palace in the middle of the night?"

"Really? I slept so deeply last night that I didn't even hear anything."

A flash of surprise flashed in Zhu Ci's eyes, "But it's really strange that Lu Yunv's pregnancy didn't happen, and she fell down in my palace. I've been feeling guilty and uneasy in my heart. Even if Lu Yunv was wrong, that child He is innocent after all.”

"My sister is kind-hearted. Lu Yunv has harmed her so much, but she doesn't resent her at all. If you ask me, it's because Lu Yunv has committed too many sins that she will receive this retribution."

Yan Qingshu hesitated to speak, recalling the appearance of the child she saw in the Chunxi Hall that day, with deep fear in her eyes.

She wanted to tell Zhu Ci, but then remembered what Shen Que said, and finally swallowed the words that reached her lips.

"The child is not lucky enough to be born in the royal family. I hope he can be born in an ordinary family in the next life. There is nothing good about being born in a palace."

Either he was harmed or he couldn't help himself. Just like her, although she was not of royal blood, she had been raised by the Queen Mother since she was a child, and she almost couldn't even see what it was like outside the palace.

She only vaguely remembered that when her father was still alive, he would lead her to ride a horse and whip her while she was learning to speak. He would lift her high above his head to pull the red pomegranates from the pomegranate tree on summer afternoons. She could not remember anything else. Incredible.

She was afraid that she would never be able to leave the palace until she died of old age, and would have to stay in the cage-like harem and become one of the emperor's brother's concubines. It would be better to live happily and comfortably in an ordinary people's home.

Yan Qingshu's eyes turned red quietly, the corners of her mouth turned down, and she started to cry.

Zhu Ci saw that she was very happy just now, but now she was crying again, and she couldn't react for a while.

"What's going on? Weren't you happy just now? Why are you crying all of a sudden?"

Yan Qingshu cried so hard that she was out of breath, "I'm fine, I just suddenly missed my father and mother. It would be great if they were alive. I would rather live in poverty than be separated from them."
