Empress, she is rising step by step

Chapter 64: I didn’t let the bad guys succeed (please vote for me)

Zhu Ci calmed Yan Qingshu's breath while wiping the tears on her face with a handkerchief.

General Yan is a military general, and it can be said that it is his fate to be shrouded in horse leather. If he didn't fight, Dayan would not be so peaceful.

But she couldn't understand that Yan Qingshu's mother would die for love with her late husband, and she never thought about her daughter. Maybe she thought that if she died, someone would take her into the palace, and her life would not be worse than living with her.

Zhu Ci couldn't help but think of her parents. She has been here for several years, and I don’t know what happened to her parents. I’m afraid they are looking for her all over the world, right? But she may never be able to go back in this life, and who will take care of them until they die.

Thinking of this, the tip of Zhu Ci's nose felt a little sore, "Don't cry, your father also died in the battle for the stability of Dayan. If he knew that you were raised so well by the Queen Mother, I think even under Jiuquan, he would feel at ease." "

Yan Qingshu burped and cried, "I'm just afraid that I'll forget what they look like. I used to be able to see what my dad looked like in my dreams, but now I can't remember. If even I forget them, then they will He really disappeared from this world.”

"No. As long as you remember them in your heart, they will always live."

Zhu Ci patiently coaxed Yan Qingshu for a while. She was originally a child, and her emotions came and went quickly. After a while, she started to smile happily again and began to eat.

Zhu Ci envied her mentality. She had no worries. Even if she was sad, it was a momentary thing and she would not take it to heart.

Moreover, she had the Queen Mother as her backer, so others did not dare to do anything to her easily.

"I'm going to Weiyang Palace to visit Cao Baolin later. She suffered such a disaster and almost lost her life. Fortunately, good luck has its own destiny, and Shen Xiurong cleared away Sister Cao's grievances. Do you want to go with me to see her? "

It was okay for Yan Qingshu and Yan Qingshu to return to the palace. None of them liked to play with her. Only Zhu Ci did not dislike her and was talkative. She preferred to stick to her.

And she originally planned to visit Cao Wenxi, so Yan Qingshu nodded.

"Okay, okay, I'm going to see Sister Cao too. In the past, I saw Wenmei know the rules very well, and she was sweet-tongued and good at talking. I really didn't expect that she is such a person. She is such a bully."

After finishing the meal, Zhu Ci asked them to remove their things and asked Cui Lan to watch the door while she went to Weiyang Palace talking to Yan Qingshu.

The Weiyang Palace was quiet, with the occasional chirping of birds heard. The tall Yinxin outside the red wall poked his head in, casting a mottled tree shadow, and large white clouds floated in the sky, like torn cotton.

When he was almost approaching the door, Zhu Ci heard the babbling singing voices in the main hall.

Yueran saw them and wanted to open her mouth to say hello. Zhu Ci stopped her with a smile, and walked in hand in hand with Yan Qingshu.

Cao Wenxi stood with his back to them. Under his feet was a colorful woven carpet, embroidered with beautiful patterns, layered like the brilliant morning glow.

She wore a moon-white water-sleeved shirt and skirt, which outlined a slender and manageable waist. Her steps were light and her slender fingers were pointed forward in an orchid shape, then buttoned back. Her watery spring eyes were filled with joy and anger.

"In order to save Li Lang from his homeland, he unexpectedly won the top prize on the yellow list. The top pick was wearing a red robe and wearing a palace flower in his hat. It was so good (wow), so fresh (na). I have also been to the Qionglin Banquet, and I have also beaten horses on the street. In the past, everyone praised me for my appearance, Pan An. It turns out that the gauze hat covers me (wow), and I cover the beauty of the moon (na). I did not take the top prize to become a high official, but for the passionate Mr. Li, and the love between husband and wife makes the moon full (na)."

The soft sunlight poured down on her like a river of stars through the carved window lattice, and several beams of light appeared in the air, with tiny dust floating in it.

Cao Wenxi waved his sleeves and turned around to see Zhu Ci and Yan Qingshu standing by the door, looking at him with smiles.

She looked embarrassed and scolded Yueran: "Zhu Yunv and Yan Baolin are here, and you didn't know how to tell me. You are really getting lazy."

Yueran was a little aggrieved. Zhu Ci thought that Cao Wenxi said this to Yueran on purpose, but actually blamed her for coming in quietly. Seeing that she had been singing for so long, she said it first.

"It's not Yueran's fault, it's because I was fascinated by Sister Cao's opera and couldn't bear to interrupt Sister Cao. If my sister said this about Yueran, I'm the weird sister who is changing her ways."

Cao Wenxi's expression turned grim, "Sister, I misunderstood. I didn't mean it this way. I was afraid of neglecting you, and my singing wasn't very good, so I might taint your ears."

She ordered Yueran to serve tea and invited Zhu Ci and Yan Qingshu to sit down.

Yan Qingshu clapped her hands and said, "Sister Cao is so humble. Her singing is not bad at all. The Queen Mother and Queen Mother like to listen to operas the most. On the Queen Mother's birthday last year, the Emperor's brother specially invited people from outside the palace to When the troupe comes to the palace to sing, the female actors are not as good as Sister Cao."

Yan Qingshu said it unintentionally. In her own opinion, she was praising Cao Wenxi for singing well, but in Cao Wenxi's ears, it meant something else.

Yan Baolin was comparing her to an opera singer. She was better than an opera singer despite her poor background. Wasn't she humiliating herself?

I thought Yan Baolin was sincerely interested in her, but he didn't expect that what she thought in her heart was no different from what others thought, and they all looked down on her!

"My aunt used to be a singer, so I was more or less good at it. Yan Baolin was so impressed."

Seeing Cao Wenxi's expression change, Zhu Ci knew that she was overthinking it. When a person has low self-esteem, everything others say is considered as overt or covert ridicule to her, but Yan Qingshu's words are indeed easy to offend people.

"I learned that something happened to Sister Cao. I was so anxious that I went to Zhaoyang Palace in the rain to ask the Queen and the Emperor to re-investigate. However, the Emperor was so sad about Lu Yunv that he didn't see me."

Although what Zhu Ci said was a lie, her beautiful eyebrows were slightly frowned, and her face was full of worry and concern, as if it really couldn't be true.

"I've been keeping this in mind. I was going to see the Queen today, but unexpectedly I heard that Sister Cao was fine, so I hurried over with Yan Baolin."

Yan Qingshu nodded, and after hearing what Zhu Ci said, she said anxiously: "Sister Zhu is still ill, so she has been working hard on Sister Cao's affairs. No wonder she recovers so slowly. Sister Cao is fine. I wish you that your cold is severe again." No matter what, it will kill someone."

Cao Wenxi glanced at Zhu Ci lightly, not sure whether he believed it or not, "

"I've made my two sisters worry. I wish my sister had worked so hard for me while she was still seriously ill. It makes me feel bad. I originally thought I was dead. After all, murdering the emperor's heir is a serious crime. Even if I didn't do it, after all, The medicine was found in my palace, but fortunately God favored me and did not let the bad guy succeed."
