Peerless Empress

Chapter 164

Di Si stared at the beautiful and serious face, his clear eyes were filled with nervousness...

He unhurriedly put the porcelain bowl on the chair beside him, took off his shoes, hid his feet under the quilt, exerted strength with his left arm, lifted Yan Luoer up, straddled him, and scooped it up with his right hand. Picking up a spoonful of clear porridge, Chuileng handed it to her lips, and he softly uttered a hoarse voice: "Silly girl!"

Seeing his calm expression, Yan Luoer couldn't figure out what he was thinking for a moment, she parted her lips absent-mindedly, and drank the clear porridge.

Di Si put down the spoon, flicked the hair on her cheeks with his slender fingertips, and gently rubbed her pale and smooth face, finally, he stopped at the sharp chin, raised it slightly, his black eyes were shining Seems a little far away, thin lips parted slightly: "I remember that night five years ago, you broke into my room... pulled off the black face scarf, and naughtily stuck out the tip of your tongue at me..."

Speaking of this, he chuckled softly, and slightly tightened his left arm around her slender waist: "At that time, if you hadn't called me fourth brother, I really thought I had seen the legendary elf ..."

Yan Luoer was reminded of deep memories by him, and suddenly, her face flushed, and she muttered softly: "If I knew you had the habit of sleeping naked, I wouldn't come here..."

Hearing this, Di Si bent his thin lips, reached out and pressed her forehead into his arms, lowered his head and whispered in her ear: "If you touch my body, of course you must be responsible for me!"

Yan Luoer buried her shy face on his chest, raised her hand and lightly tapped his shoulder blades, and then quietly listened to his strong heartbeat.

"Ever since you were shot with an arrow, your temperament has changed accordingly. Everyone can see this. Although I don't know why you changed so quickly, my father and I want to keep your current appearance, especially I……"

Di Si pressed a kiss on her forehead: "The timid and weak girl in the past will always be just a younger sister in my heart..."

Yan Luo'er was slightly startled, and Nuan Yang was suddenly excited in her heart, she couldn't help herself, the corners of her lips were raised high, unable to conceal the joy in her heart.

Di Si whispered and smiled in her ear: "I remember five years ago, a certain silly girl asked me 'I have seen buildings hundreds of feet high', and now I am sure to tell you that I have seen..."

Yan Luoer raised her head in astonishment, and looked at the handsome smiling face in surprise: "Do you remember the random question five years ago?"

Di Si's black eyes were deep and bright, containing a trace of banter, and his handsome eyebrows raised: "Is it really just asking casually? I remember that girl's expression was very serious at that time!"

Yan Luoer bit her lower lip lightly, looked up at his dark eyes, and asked tentatively, "Do you know anything?"

Di Si shook his head slightly, raised his finger, and Chong Ni lightly scratched the tip of her nose: "I'm waiting for you to say it!"

During the two days when she was in a coma, he thought about many things, but he felt that it was too unbelievable. If she didn't say it in person, even he would have nothing but to convince himself!
Yan Luoer smiled and pointed to the bowl of clear porridge on the chair, Qingmei blinked at him, as if to say, "Hurry up and please me, or you won't know anything..."

Di Si pursed his lips and smiled, stretched out his hand to scoop up a spoonful of porridge, fed it into her mouth, and continued to scoop up another spoonful: "Let's talk after finishing the porridge, or it will be cold..."

How could Yan Luoer wait until she finished the porridge? After taking two sips, she immediately told the story, and Di Si didn't bother her. While feeding her, she quietly listened to what she said. Although she felt very suspenseful, Yan Luoer He believed everything he said, and he had thought about the 'soul possession' thing, but he thought it was too absurd, so he didn't continue thinking about it.

At this moment, footsteps came from outside the room, followed by a deliberately lowered voice: "Fourth Brother, is Qing'er awake?"

Third brother?

Yan Luoer blinked, she actually heard third brother's voice...

She turned her head quickly, and saw Di Fan picking up his robe and stepping into the room. Seeing them with a handsome face, he was stunned, his face flushed, he hurriedly lowered his head and exited the room, and then smiled heartily: "Excuse me! Excuse me!" Yes! You go on, you go on..."

The sound of hurried footsteps, quickly running away from the yard...

Yan Luoer looked at the door suspiciously, and then at Disi: "Third Brother, why did you leave so soon?"

The smile on Di Si's lips grew bigger and bigger, he lowered his eyes slightly, looked down at his body hugging each other tightly, opened his eyes and said nonsense: "I don't know!"

Yan Luoer seemed to think of something, and quickly asked, "By the way, where has Third Brother been hiding for the past five years? Have Second and Sixth Brothers returned?"

Di Si put down the bowl in his hand, took out a silk handkerchief, and wiped the corners of her lips for her: "He has been staying in Shengbi Academy, and the eldest princess Gong Liubing will teach him to learn medicine..."

Yan Luoer frowned, and suddenly remembered that man named Changbian, he was the third brother?

"As for the second brother and the sixth brother, you must not guess where they are..." Di Si's black eyes were full of smiles, and he said directly without playing tricks, "They are the head of the chamber of commerce and the deacon of the black market..."

Yan Luo'er heard this answer by accident, and couldn't help being stunned: "Then Brother Seven was transferred from the black market to the chamber of commerce and was auctioned off..."

The chamber of commerce and the black market have existed for thousands of years. How could anyone have thought that the second brother and the sixth brother were in the chamber of commerce and the black market, and they were also the leaders...

"Father arranged it! He didn't expect the seventh brother who was arranged to bet with others in a remote tribe, and then was caught selling it on the black market. Because father, second brother, and sixth brother could not change the identity of seventh brother in a short time, it was inconvenient to make a move." Buy him, and when father knows that you want Gong Lieyang to buy Xunying, he immediately asks second elder brother to transfer seventh younger brother and Xunying to the Chamber of Commerce to lure you out, and use the ability of Youyou Palace to change a person's identity, yes A breeze..."

Yan Luoer rolled her eyes, the cunning and cunning were perfect for Di Xia, if she had been investigated at that time, she might have found a clue...

"Why didn't I know that Dad had the ability to resign the head of the chamber of commerce and the black market deacon, and then replace the second and sixth brothers..."

Di Si smiled: "Don't talk about you, I also discovered it in recent years, this is..."

He frowned, rubbed her forehead hair, and said in a much gentler tone: "This is your father's dowry to my mother..."

At this time, laughter came from outside the house, Di Si and Yan Luoer had a meal, Di Si hurriedly asked her to come down, put on her shoes and went out to greet her: "Father!"

Di Xia nodded slightly, and walked into the room with a smile: "I heard that Fan'er said that Qing'er woke up, so I came here to have a look..."

His eyes fell on the bed behind the screen, he stepped in and approached, turned around and followed Di Si with squinting eyes, and said, "Since Qing'er has woken up, you should go to rest first..."

"Yes!" Di Si picked up the bowl on the chair, stared at Yan Luo'er, and reluctantly walked out of the room.

"Father..." Yan Luoer was about to get up, but Di Xia quickly asked her to sit down, and smiled kindly: "Sit down! I heard you chatting with Di'er outside just now, and I can't help but think of the day when Yue'er married me." At that time, Yue'er felt that she was just a country girl, not worthy of me without a noble status, so she refused to nod and agree to come back with me to meet my parents. When your father knew about this, he immediately reprimanded Yue'er. A meal, and then put the chamber of commerce and the black market as a dowry in her name..."

Speaking of this, Dixia's face softened a lot: "At that time, Yue'er didn't know the importance of the black market and the chamber of commerce, so she pointed at the black market with no houses or tiles and shouted, 'Although this place looks very big, but, If you look around, you can see that this place is very poor...'"

Yan Luoer was taken aback, but couldn't help laughing out loud. She didn't expect Guoyue to have such a naive side. The black market was originally a market where hawkers from all over the world gathered. …

However, the black market earns far more money than the chamber of commerce every year. As long as there are more hawkers selling, the black market earns more...

Di Xia straightened his face, and sighed softly: "Qing'er, is it strange that father didn't tell you the matter back then?"

Yan Luo'er slowly put away her smile: "I think Dad has his own reasons!"

Dixia patted her on the shoulder and smiled gently: "When I took you to the Dijia, I have been secretly paying attention to the affairs of your father and his apprentices, and I have made arrangements early on, but you are so small, timid and afraid of getting into trouble." , I didn't have the ability to face Luo Xinyu at all. Until five years ago, you suddenly changed, which made me very happy, but, with your ability at that time, it was not enough to face Luo Xinyu. The only thing I can do is to fight against Luo Xinyu. Bring it to your side, and then hide you..."

Yan Luoer shook her head: "It's all over..."

Dixia sighed slightly: "Speaking seriously, Luo Qinglian also helped us a lot. Five years ago, if he hadn't secretly informed me that Luo Xinyu would return to Xili City, I would not have gone to Gong Lieyang and asked him to cooperate with Luo Qinglian... I'm afraid you will be caught by them, if they are here, they will let you go when Luo Xinyu is not paying attention..."

"In a few days, ask Luo Qinglian to clarify your marriage with him. Of course, half of my responsibility is also here, and it can be seen that he likes you..."

Yan Luoer remained silent and stopped talking. She thought carefully about the days she spent with Luo Qinglian. Aside from the fact that he was a masked man, he had always treated her well, and in the end, he didn't join forces with Luo Xinyu or make her an enemy...

In the days that followed, Yan Luoer handed over the affairs of Youyou Palace to Jinling and Jinxi, and asked Di Qi to bring Guoyue and Xiansu back.

And Di Qi suddenly put on airs of his elder brother, and even pointed fingers at Jin Ling and Jin Xi, all because Yan Luoer kept the matter a secret for so long, and also became his master, so he felt a little uncomfortable...

Jinling and Jinxi were annoyed and funny towards this man who used to be his subordinate, but he was the elder brother of the master, so he could only obey...

Guoyue and Xiansu returned to Dixia's house after a day. The first thing Guoyue did was to settle the old score with Dixia. His servants, passing by the courtyard, would leave with a smile on their faces...

On that day, Gong Lieri and Gong Liubing came to the Emperor's house together, his handsome face was filled with sadness, obviously he knew the news that the Empress was no longer alive...

Luo Youju had a long talk with Gong Lieri for an hour, and after that, he arranged for Xiansu to wait at the emperor's house, and pick her up after he settled the matter.

In the past few days, Di Wu, Di Liu, and Di E returned to the Emperor's Mansion to reunite with their families, and Di E and Di Liu each brought their future daughter-in-law back. If it was not for the family reunion, the marriage would not be delayed. As for Emperor Wu, Yan Luoer was astonished the most. He once approached Yan Luoer privately and asked her to be a matchmaker in order to marry Jinxi back home. This surprised Yan Luoer, not because she disliked it. There is a birthmark on Jinxi's face, but Diwu actually fell in love with Jinxi, who has always been icy. However, if it is mutual love, she will naturally mention this to Jinxi in person...

That night, at the dinner table, Yan Luoer seemed to have returned to the time when the Emperor's family had a lively meal together five years ago.

Immediately after the second day, the dining table in the hall was carried out and replaced with a round wooden table several feet larger than the original one. After Guoyue saw the round and big new dining table, she smiled from ear to ear all day long and chanted from time to time. He said: "Either one or two will not get married, or both want to get married at the same time, this time, I will let you be anxious..."

Guoyue caught sight of Yan Luoer who pursed her lips and smiled lightly, and suddenly thought of something, she quickly changed her mind and said, "No, I have to pick a good day for you and Si'er to get married early, and I can make them anxious, but your stomach is so terrible. Can't delay..."

When she remembered that she was going to be a grandmother, her eyes almost narrowed into a straight line.

"Mother..." Yan Luoer gave her a funny and angry look, and then, she glanced at her brothers standing outside the door listening, but saw Di Si blinking at her, as if to say, "I still have the foresight..."

Guoyue smiled and sat beside Yan Luoer, looking at her belly, the smile on her lips grew bigger and bigger, she took Yan Luoer's hand, and said with a smile: "Back then, I was thinking about letting you marry I really hate to go out, hehe, my family is still promising, but this brat has been hiding it from me for so many years..."

When Guoyue thought of Di Si appearing in front of her with the identity of Bu Li, she felt angry, and was tricked by her own son.

At this time, there was a snickering sound from outside the door, she turned around and stared, and the seven brothers from the emperor family laughed and left.

As soon as they left, Guoyue took out four red brocade boxes from the interspatial ring, about two inches wide, and handed them to Yan Luoer.

"Mother, what is this?" Yan Luoer took the red brocade box suspiciously, opened it, and saw two familiar golden beads quietly lying in the box, reminding her suddenly that in the winter of the year, step away from... oh, No, it was the golden beads given to her by Di Si, which were exactly the same as the ones in front of me...

Guoyue pointed at her forehead angrily: "This was given to you by Bu... Si'er, but you never opened it to read it, so you put it aside. It was because I felt sorry for Si'er that I took them away. Put it away..."

When Yan Luoer heard that it was delivered by Di Si, she quickly opened the other boxes, and the other three boxes contained: one, three, and four golden beads...

Including the five beads he gave this year, there are fifteen beads in total. What is his intention?

Yan Luoer put away the box carefully, and will ask about this matter when she sees Di Si...

A few days passed in a hurry, and everyone in the Di family was busy with their own affairs. Yan Luoer hadn't seen Di Si for several days, but when she was thinking of looking for him in the courtyard of Di Si, she met Luo Youju who hurried out of the courtyard...

"Mother!" Yan Luoer hurriedly called out when she saw that she was anxious.

After what happened to the empress, she also figured it out. Luo Youju must be her own mother. If she really didn't like herself, she wouldn't have let Yan Lin sacrifice herself in exchange for the life of 'Diqing'. , Luo Youju has been in torment and pain, unable to take good care of her child at all...

When Luo Youju heard Yan Luoer's voice, she couldn't help but startled, her face moved with joy. How long has it been since Yan Luoer called her mother?Does that mean she has forgiven herself?

"Where is mother going?" Yan Luoer asked suspiciously.

Luo Youju sighed slightly: "Today is Qinglian's birthday, I promised my sister that I would give her a gift..."

When Yan Luoer heard Luo Qinglian, she immediately remembered what Dixia said a few days ago, and said quickly: "I'll go with you, I have something to say to Luo Qinglian..."

Luo Youju scanned her stomach, hesitated for a while, and finally nodded...

After half a stick of incense, the two took the carriage prepared by the servants of the emperor's family, first came to Luo's house to take away the things left by Luo Qiangwei, then turned their horses around and came to Bai Chun's backyard.

Before, when passing by Mingxiang Building, Yan Luoer saw that Yanli was instructing several servants to take down the signboard of Mingxiang Building, and several girls from Mingxiang Building left Mingxiang Building with their bags and smiling. One of the girls , Yan Luoer knows her, she seems to be called Xinhong...

The one who opened the door for them was a young servant. Yan Luoer and Luo Youju approached the courtyard, and immediately looked at the cherry tree in the courtyard. There was no sign of a big tree there. There is freshly turned soil.

When Bai Chun saw their arrival, he was taken aback for a moment, and then told them that Luo Qinglian had been hiding in the room and hadn't come out for many days, and that all matters in the clan were handled by Luo Xinshen.

Yan Luoer asked Luo Youju to find Luo Qinglian first, and Bai Chun waited for Luo Youju to leave, and Youyou said, "How can a child born for the one you love not feel pain? When Luo Qiangwei gave birth to Qinglian, Luo Xinyu didn't care about it. She only cared about her training, and with Luo Qiangwei's status in the Luo family, Qinglian would only be looked down upon by others. For the sake of her son, she knelt down to Luo Xinyu's father and begged for a title. For the sake of her grandson, Luo Qiangwei asked Luo Qinglian to pass Luo Qinglian under the name of the eldest son. From then on, she was not allowed to intervene in Luo Qinglian's affairs. Afterwards, the head of the Luo family forced her to marry in order not to make her family ugly. In the end, Luo Qiangwei chose to marry Into the royal family, she once told me, "The reason why I chose to marry into the royal family is because I am afraid that Qinglian will suddenly lose the support of the Luo family one day. At that time, he at least has a mother who is an empress..." "

Speaking of this, Bai Chun's eyes turned red, and he quickly raised his hand to wipe the tears from the corners of his eyes. The hall suddenly sank.

After a while, Luo Youju came back with a sad face, Yan Luoer talked to Bai Chun, then left the hall and came to the door of Luo Qinglian's room.

Yan Luoer stopped outside the door and quickly swept around the room full of musical instruments. Finally, her eyes fell on the man in front of the desk. His clothes and hair were slightly disheveled. There was a faint blue halo, and the phoenix eyes were fixed on a pot of pink carved cherry trees on the table, and the thin lips trembled slightly.

He didn't seem to notice her coming, he stared blankly at the exquisitely carved cherry tree, and murmured: "The cherry tree that never fades..."

"Luo Qinglian..." Yan Luoer called softly before leaving.

Luo Qinglian's fingertips trembled, and she quickly lowered her head to prevent her from seeing his distressed appearance.

Yan Luoer quickly took out a golden flute from the ring, handed it to him, and smiled faintly: "Happy birthday!"

This flute was made by her when she was in the bamboo forest. She wanted to make a qin, but because of insufficient mineral materials, she made a flute. She didn't expect it to come in handy.

"Happy birthday?" He raised his eyes and looked at her suspiciously.

"Uh, it means happy birthday..."

Luo Qinglian didn't take the flute, turned her head to the side, frowned, and said lightly: "You go!"

Yan Luoer suddenly didn't know what to say. At this moment, it was impossible for her to bring up the matter of her marriage contract with him. go……

Be quiet in the house for a while!
Yan Luoer said, "The Luo Qinglian I know doesn't look like this..."

Luo Qinglian pursed her lips, her phoenix eyes gradually dimmed, and said hoarsely: "Then what does Luo Qinglian look like in your eyes?"

Yan Luoer recalled the first time she met Luo Qinglian: "When I saw him for the first time, I felt amazed. There was a half-smile on his lips, which made me feel very confident..."

"At that time, you were not afraid that I would kill you?" Luo Qinglian asked jokingly, her phoenix eyes lit up slightly when she heard her words.

Yan Luoer raised her eyebrows: "If I was really scared, I would have cried out in fright when we really met for the first time..."

Luo Qinglian recalled the time when she wore a mask to meet her in the Emperor's Mansion, her phoenix eyes flashed with unclear emotions, and she said leisurely: "At that time, I was angry with Emperor Xia to play me..."

Yan Luoer knew what he meant, she was blaming Di Xia for teasing him back then, and Di Si betrothed her to him, and then found her a fiancé, Gong Lie Ri...

Luo Qinglian pulled her lips slightly, took the flute in her hand, and her eyes darkened again: "I know the purpose of your coming here, let's go! There are some things that don't need to be explained too clearly..."

Yan Luoer sighed softly, there are some things that really don't need to be explained, as long as everyone knows it in their hearts!
When she turned around and walked to the door of the room, she turned slightly and saw that he put the flute aside, ignored him, said nothing, turned and left.

As soon as Luo Qinglian waited for her to leave, she picked up the golden flute and played it leisurely...

Yan Luoer paused when she heard the sound of Youmei's flute. From the sound of the flute, she could hear his sadness, his helplessness and his blessing...

This is enough, she believes that Luo Qinglian will forget all the unpleasant things...
