Empress, she is rising step by step

Chapter 66 Chilling

Zhu Ci said calmly: "If a beautiful lady cares so much about a child, others may think that the beautiful lady has a small belly and chicken intestines without knowing it."

Wen Yuanyuan turned around, her eyes fell directly on Zhu Ci, looking her up and down disdainfully.

"As expected of someone who is close to the imperial concubine, you are so smooth-talking. You are just a royal concubine at best. You dare to teach me a lesson just because of the emperor's favor. You don't even distinguish between superiority and inferiority."

Zhu Ci said aggrievedly: "I don't dare, I do it for the beauty's own good. If someone with a long tongue spreads this matter, I'm afraid it will damage the beautiful image of the beauty in the heart of the emperor."

Wen Yuanyuan stared at Zhu Ci. Although her face was covered with thick makeup, she could not hide the dark blue under her eyes.

The emperor and the emperor were already angry with her because she deliberately framed Cao Wenxi, so they only spared her because of their past friendship.

If Yan Baolin keeps showing off in front of the Queen Mother and the Emperor, his impression of her will be even worse.

Wen Yuanyuan snorted coldly, turned around and twisted the handkerchief in her hand.

Seeing Cao Wenxi standing aside, not saying a word. Zhu Ci understood that she was afraid of harming herself, so she had to pretend not to see it.

Yan Baolin contradicted Wen Meiren just to stand up for her, but she actually stood aside and watched. Not only does she have low self-esteem and is sensitive, she also has no sense of loyalty.

"Concubine, I won't disturb Wen Meiren from talking to Cao Baolin, and will say goodbye to Yan Baolin first."

As he spoke, he winked secretly at Yan Qingshu. Yan Qingshu just had a simple temper, but she actually knew everything in her heart. She bowed perfunctorily to the beautiful lady and followed Zhu Ci away.

Wen Yuanyuan looked at the two of them leaving, rolled her eyes, flicked her skirt and sat down. She saw that Cao Wenxi was still standing and glanced at her costume.

"What are you still doing standing around? Do you want me to ask you to sit down?"

Cao Wenxi had no choice but to sit down. Wen Yuanyuan propped her chin and looked at Cao Wenxi up and down.

"I didn't know you could sing opera, but you look quite handsome in this outfit. It just so happens that I also like to listen to opera, so you can sing a few lines for me to listen to."

Cao Wenxi's face turned red and white. Why should she sing if she asked her to sing? She was not an actor for others to marry.

Even though there were thousands of words in my heart to criticize Wen Yuanyuan, there were only a few words on my lips.

"I'm not very good at singing. I just dress up casually for fun. I won't show off my embarrassment in front of you, my beautiful lady."

Wen Yuan Yuanfang was angry at Zhu Ci, and now her son was rejected by Cao Wenxi, making her even more angry.

She had just heard her singing in the yard, and she actually said no to her. It seems that she is easy to trick and fool, right?

"Oh, your hobby is quite different. Others like to raise flowers and birds. Embroidering things, but you like to act like an actor, which is quite consistent with your status."

Wen Yuanyuan covered her lips and smiled. Seeing the color on Cao Wenxi's face fade away little by little, her smile became more and more proud.

Even if what she framed her for was exposed, she couldn't do anything about herself. She was like a mouse meeting a cat when she saw him.

Cao Wenxi smiled reluctantly, "I wonder why Wenmei came to see the concubine?"

Didn't Yueran say that Wenmei came to plead guilty? She must have come here to humiliate her.

"Of course I'm here to apologize to you. After all, I can't help you about the medicine, so don't take it to heart."

Wen Yuanyuan took a lotus leaf-shaped jewelry box inlaid with jade from the palace maid and threw it to Cao Wenxi. Cao Wenxi had tears in his eyes and took a deep breath. She opened the jewelry box and found several red agates inside.

"You may think it's just red agate, but the color and texture are very good. I guess you've never seen such a good thing. You can find someone to set it into a gold hairpin bracelet."

Wen Yuanyuan actually didn't want to come, but Yunmeng, the personal palace maid, analyzed the pros and cons for her, and when she thought about it, it did make some sense.

She was not afraid of anything, except that the emperor would think that she was a woman with a vicious heart, and if he alienated her, his favor would be cut off.

"In the past, I thought too much. I thought you were crying every day, which was very unlucky. The emperor reprimanded me and ordered me to reflect on my mistakes in the palace. I also realized that I was wrong. I think you have always been tolerant, sister. Even if it’s a large amount, you won’t care about me, right?”

Cao Wenxi's throat was dry. How could she forgive Wen Meiren? She almost killed herself. The hateful thing is that she is just a royal girl and has no real power, otherwise how could she let her go.

"There were indeed things that I did wrong in the past. If I do something wrong in the future, I hope you, Wenmei, can correct me in time."

"It's easy to say. After all, we live in Weiyang Palace together. We can't see each other when we look up. I will definitely take more care of you in the future."

Zhu Ci and Yan Qingshu walked onto the cobblestone road. There were lush flowers and grass on both sides, and there were tree shadows overhead. The breeze blew by, carrying a faint floral fragrance.

Zhu Ci looked up and saw a wisteria in the corner with strong branches and strings of purple flowers climbing all over the wall, like a lavender mist.

Yan Qingshu picked up a huge sycamore leaf from somewhere and held it in her hand.

"Wenmei's words are really unpleasant. Why did sister just stop me? I'm not afraid of her."

"Why bother to be angry for a moment? As for the literary beauty's temperament of worshiping the superior and suppressing the inferior, she is worried that no one will take care of her in the future. What should a child do to get angry with such a person? If his anger ruins his own body, only he will feel uncomfortable, and others will not. It’s not painful or itchy.”

If Zhu Ci were Yan Qingshu, she would pretend to tell the Empress Dowager and the Emperor casually, so why waste time with people like Wen Meiren. What is wrong with having that time?

"It is said that Wenmei Ren went to bear a thorn to plead guilty, but I think it seems that she deliberately humiliated people. I just stood up for Sister Cao. When Wenmei Ren insulted me, only you, sister, stood up for me."

Yan Qingshu said disappointedly: "I didn't expect Sister Cao to watch me being ridiculed by literary beauties without saying a word. It's so sad."

"After all, Sister Cao has a lower status than Wenmei. I guess she also has her own difficulties."

Zhu Ci used a round fan to block the scorching sun above her head. It was already approaching midsummer and it was noon again. The sunlight shining on people's hair and skin was actually a little hot.

She held Yan Qingshu's arm and walked in the shade, "But it's really chilling."

Yan Qingshu hugged Zhu Ci's arm coquettishly, "From now on, I will be alone with Sister Zhu. I better not drag Cao Baolin down. My fiery temperament really doesn't get along with hers. Don't end up messing with her." Trouble."

When they reached the corner, Zhu Ci and Yan Qingshu saw Hua Jingyun walking away from a distance, and they hurriedly saluted.

"Everyone, get up. Where are you two coming from?"
