The Duke’s wife is beautiful but has a dark heart

Chapter 381 Self-indulgent
The empress liked Wen Shizhu very much.

Whenever he had nothing to do, he summoned her to the palace to talk. Every time he listened to this beautiful little girl use her unique logic to describe the strange things in the shop, he felt extremely happy.

When he became more interested, he also called a few other girls he liked to come over and prepare some food in the small kitchen.

Today, the Queen called Wen Shizhu again, and also asked: I haven’t seen your good friend Wen Yu for a long time, take her with you too...

When she saw Wen Yu, the Queen Mother remembered: "Wen Yu, your sister-in-law just left, right?"

Wen Yu replied: "In my words, yes."

The Queen scolded the people next to her: "You didn't remind me? I just let them chat while they have nothing to do in these two days. Where can she come out conveniently?"

The female officer next to her quickly apologized.

Wen Yu smiled and said: "Thank you for your sympathy, the family affairs have basically been completed."

The queen sighed: "Then Mrs. Xu is really pitiful. Can she leave a little girl behind?"

"Yes. Now, mother is carrying it herself."

"Take good care of her! Write it down for me, and when she comes out of mourning, bring it to me for a look."

The female officer quickly recorded it.

Several other girls seemed to be quite familiar with Wen Shizhu. Another one was holding a recipe book and was asking Wen Shizhu for advice.

There is a small kitchen in the Queen's Palace. I made some snacks and candies today. The queen tasted it and felt it tasted good, so she ordered some to be sent to several palaces.

Several people chatted happily for a while, and then a palace maid came in and called out: "Empress!" without saying anything further.

The queen looked at her and nodded, "You guys, go to the side hall to take shelter."

The female officer stepped forward: "Madam and girls, please come this way!"

Wen Yu also stood up and prepared to walk to the side hall.

The position where the female officer stood happened to block Wen Yu.

When everyone moves forward, she wants to take a step forward. But the female officer did not wait for her, but walked directly in front of her. His figure paused, as if he wanted to press her down.

With a thought in her heart, Wen Yu turned to look at the queen. But he saw that the Queen was also looking at him, with a calm face. She followed the others into the side hall and stepped away as soon as she stepped through the door, hiding behind the curtain and looking back.

After a while, there was the sound of footsteps, and a young man of medium height flashed past the side hall door. Wen Yu could see clearly that he was not tall, had an ordinary appearance, and was dressed in ordinary clothes.

Wen Yu didn't dare to poke her head again, and only listened to the young man say: "Greetings to the empress!"

"Qili is here?" The queen's voice was very gentle.

"Thank you for the snacks and candies you gave me. They taste so good!"

"It's just fresh out of the pot, so it's fresh! You have to remember to balance work and rest, and don't work too hard. I still have guests at the moment, so you go first!"

"Yes." The young man didn't hesitate, saluted, turned around and left.

Wen Yu didn't dare to look up anymore.

After the footsteps stopped, the female officer led a few people out. Wen Yu still followed behind, wondering in her mind: Does the empress want me to see this person?
who is he? Why?
Suddenly, she thought: Could this be the person behind the screen who listens to the emperor's political affairs as mentioned by Mr. Li Ge?

Look at the queen again, she is joking with Zhuzhu! Zhuzhu is doing business for her own embroidery shop.

"This year's spring materials came in batches years ago, and now they are arriving one after another. Zhuzhu brought some. This year's main color is elegant. My dear, you see, the colors are very light. For a while, Ayu liked it. Wear this color.”

Several other girls gathered together to look at it, "Are there any new looks in this picture album?"

“It’s newly launched by our Xiulou this year!”

"This dress is so beautiful. I have grown taller this year, and the skirt is turned out at the front, and it reaches my ankles..."

Wen Yu walked up to the Empress and asked in a low voice: "Empress, I accidentally looked back and saw that the young master was very energetic and well-mannered. Wen Yu still has some talent for painting. He took a quick look...why? Look, that face looks like the long live master in his youth!"

The Queen didn't look at Wen Yu either: "People who can paint see people differently, right? Maybe they look like each other, but I have never seen the young Long Live Lord."

"Looking at the demeanor, it's not quite the same as the royal demeanor. Are you not a descendant of the royal family?"

"You will know later!" The queen covered her mouth with her handkerchief. "Mother, Zhuzhu is about to get married. Wen Yu wants to give her a gift. She wants to choose from the things left by her mother. There is an eight-treasure inlaid dressing table and a large lacquer screen. Please give Wen Yu an idea. Which one is better?”

"How can I know if I haven't seen the real thing? However, I like screens. Look there..." The queen pointed to a large group of peonies next to her.

"Of course the things belonging to the empress are good. However, these are only placed in the palace of the empress. They cannot be placed in the halls of ordinary people."

"This piece is not that big! I just moved a set from the warehouse to the imperial study a few days ago. It is much bigger than this piece! If you listen to me, the screen is a good choice!"

Wen Yu understood and said gratefully: "Thank you, Madam, for putting yourself in our shoes!"

"Who are we? Who cares about you anymore? We are so selfish!" The Queen gave her a white look.

Just now, the young man went out and asked the eunuch beside him, "Have you heard about them? Who are they?"

"Going back to Your Highness, there are nieces, nieces, Master Wen's palms and friends who often come to the palace to accompany your Majesty. When they have time, they even make some food together. I thought I would meet Your Highness!" the eunuch winked.

His Highness has not yet gotten married, so the eunuch thought that the Queen wanted to be a matchmaker.

This time, the young man's thoughts were dispersed and he smiled, "The craftsmanship is really good!"

Wen Yu and Wen Shizhu left the palace and saw Li Jiang waiting at the door. He said mysteriously and excitedly: "I'm waiting for you two, great news!"

"what happened?"

"Master Qing is awake!"

……

That's right, Master Qing woke up from a big dream.

She didn't want to wake up because the scene was so beautiful! Lady Yan is teaching her sisters how to dance.

Lady Yan is so light that she can spin in place for an hour and do hundreds of somersaults in one breath. The clothes and belt are elegant and not messy at all.

I've done it myself, after five or six turns, I'm sure I'll fall!
Lady Yan's straight waist, shoulders and neck, like a swan, are particularly beautiful. The way she looked at her eldest brother was always affectionate.

The eldest brother's face would turn red every time she looked at him! That way will always make my sister-in-law angry.

But the sisters laughed until their stomachs ached.

The Bai sisters are all talented, but they are good at different talents. The fourth sister is the best dancer, and later... Later, in order to support Yibai, she danced in a brothel. The applause and lewd laughter of those patrons seemed to be in her ears. Master Qing's heart felt like needles pricking her heart, and she began to convulse.

At this time, Yibai was working in his main room. Lan Zhou squatted at the door, watching the turtle bask in the sun. The girl-in-law had just turned over for Master Qing and moved her legs and feet. She was resting on the verandah drinking tea, so no one noticed her.

The five sisters are very capable, and the eldest brother praised his embroidery skills: "He is better than his predecessor."

It's a pity that she was still young at that time and had not yet mastered all the Bai family embroidery techniques.

Booming explosion, dazed sisters. officers and soldiers. shout. Running diners and servants. The elder brother who was captured.

The eldest brother... only looked back at them and didn't even have time to say a word. The twelve-year-old girl didn't know that that time was her farewell...

Her husband and sons were taken away, and her sister-in-law herself was about to give birth, but she was the most calm and took care of their three sisters who were not yet married.

Later, news came that the eldest brother and nephews were dead.

Several people burst into tears and refused to believe it.

"No! Something must have happened..." Although her husband's death left no color on the sister-in-law's face. But he still rubbed his belly and stood firmly in front of them.

However, suddenly one day, my sister-in-law went crazy and screamed like crazy. At night, he hanged himself. She gave birth to Yibai while hanging on a sling!

Master Qing's arms were waving and his feet were kicking.

What did the sister-in-law shout?
"Tan Yanling! Li Da Niu! Is it you? Did you harm the Bai family? It was me who led the wolf into the house! I am the sinner of the Bai family! Husband, it's me who can't help you!"

"Tan Yanling?"

"Li Da Niu!"

Master Qing shouted hoarsely and opened his eyes.
