The Noble Empress

The year Yan Xingchuan successfully rebelled, he made his cousin empress, and even promised never to establish another empress in this life before her death.

Cui Si was his principal wife, wh...

Chapter 209 Did he take the wrong medicine?

Cui Si didn't care: "Let him go."

Anyway, she has given up the idea of ​​finding a husband now. He can do whatever he wants, as long as the Cui family does not lose face. As for if she meets someone she wants to marry in the future, then she will talk about it later.

If they could be together, it must be because he believed in her. If he didn't, why would she bother with it?

Song Lu was worried: "But I think this is not good for my lady."

Cui Si asked her with a smile: "Everyone says that I will become the queen in the future. Why do you think it's not a good idea to be the queen?"

Song Lu was stunned by the question. He opened his mouth but couldn't answer for a moment.

Yanzhi, who was making tea for Cui Si, said, "No matter how noble the queen is, she still has to want it.

If one's heart desires, even if it means using fireflies to make candles and living in a humble room, that is joyful. If one does not desire it, even if it is a jade palace, a golden hall, or a splendid tower, it is nothing but a fleeting shackle."

Cui Si looked over in surprise: "You know all this?"

Yanzhi said, "I have been studying diligently in my free time these past few years. I've seen that while most people in the world yearn for power and wealth, there are some who yearn for inner peace and tranquility, just like those... well, those hermits who retire to the countryside."

Cui Si raised her eyebrows: "What you said makes sense."

This statement is probably not far from her psychology.

After experiencing many things, possessing power and wealth, sitting on a high platform, and seeing the ups and downs of life, I finally began to pursue spiritual peace and tranquility, and was no longer keen on power and wealth.

In her previous life, she was very enthusiastic about it.

All I can say is that times have changed and my mood has changed.

"It's cold, I'll lie down for a while, you guys can rest for a while too."

Cui Si put the things outside behind her and ignored them.

When I woke up again, it was already evening.

The snow outside stopped for a while, but when I looked up, the sky and the earth were already covered in white. The sky was no longer gloomy, but the cold wind blew, sweeping away the snow on the earth, and it was also bone-chilling.

Cui Si drank a cup of warm water, and Yanzhi reported to her: "The King of Northern Yan sent a lot of things, and they are now placed in the Ming Hall."

"Send something? What did he send?" Cui Si had just woken up. She had slept so deeply that she was a little groggy.

"Song Lu and I took a look. They were all jewelry, fabrics, clothes, and some new things from the city." Yan Zhi was also a little dazed. "Oh, and they also invited two embroiderers to come over. They said they would take your measurements and make clothes for you."

Cui Si was stunned for a moment after hearing this: "Did he take the wrong medicine?"

Cui Si stood up and wrapped herself in a fox fur cloak, then walked into the Ming Hall. She saw a lot of things piled up in the middle of the Ming Hall, including objects packed in boxes and baskets, and cloth piled together.

Cui Si opened one of the boxes and found a healing flower hairpin and a blue lotus hairpin inside. The hairpin had a golden core and kingfisher feathers as flowers. Even if there was only a blue lotus, it was already extremely elegant and noble.

Cui Si reached out and pinched it. There were many patterns engraved on the hairpin, some of which were patterns and some looked like words.

Cui Si frowned: "Where is the person who delivered the gift?"

"He went back and told me that if my lady wanted to see that thing returned, she should go to the King of Northern Yan."

Cui Si: "...Then you still dare to stay?"

Now that this is here, there's no going back.

Yanzhi was also troubled: "But they just delivered the things here and left. I can't stop them. I can't go find the King of Northern Yan, right?"

Cui Si stretched out her hand and frowned: "Forget it, you invite people over, it's okay this time, don't accept them next time."

"yes."

Yanzhi ran to invite Yan Xingchuan over. When he came, he had changed his clothes, wearing a dark green robe and a jade crown to tie his hair. He looked less majestic than the King of Northern Yan, but more like a young man from a military family.

"A'si, you're looking for me."

Cui Si reached out and tapped the tumbler in the box. No matter how she poked it, it just swayed and didn't fall down, with a silly smile on its face.

Looking at this face, it actually looks more and more like Yan Xingchuan.

shameless!

Cui Si closed the box angrily, thinking out of sight, out of mind.

"Why did you send these things here? What? Are you dissatisfied that you have too much money and nowhere to spend it?" Cui Si spoke in a sarcastic tone.

Yan Xingchuan blinked, not knowing how he had offended her again.

However, he didn't dare to hide it, so he had to explain: "I went out today, originally wanting to find out what's going on in Pingzhou City recently, but I didn't expect that to happen, so I went to the silver shop and the cloth shop instead."

"There are no clothes for women in Pingshan Qiju. What you are wearing now was brought from Xianyang City. I thought of preparing some so that you can use them."

Cui Si opened a box, and inside was a set of jewelry made of filigree gold and inlaid with rubies. It was a complete set, including a large hairpin crown, a top crown, and various hairpins, earrings, and bracelets. When you count them carefully, there are a total of twenty-six pieces.

Yan Xingchuan took a look and immediately said, "I chose them all. How about that?"

He thought the hairpin and crown were good at first sight. They were more beautiful and luxurious than the one she wore on her wedding day.

"I think you have too much money." Cui Si almost rolled her eyes at him. "This whole thing costs at least one thousand taels. What are you going to buy it for? What? Is there enough food? With so many reinforcements this year, do you have enough cotton-padded clothes and quilts? Do you have enough armor and weapons?"

Yan Xingchuan opened his mouth and said, "A'si, of course some of that was allocated to them. I used my own money, not military supplies to buy these things."

"We were constantly at war, and all the money Pingzhou gave us was used for military supplies. Later, we conquered Yuanzhou, Yunzhou, and Laizhou, and gained a lot, especially Laizhou, from the Xie family."

After taking Laizhou, the Northern Yan army became rich overnight.

"Not long ago, some of the money was distributed among the people as a reward for their contributions, and I got a portion as well."

Cui Si was surprised when she heard this: "You still want these things?"

The previous Yan Xingchuan didn't want these things. She was the one who managed some of the family's businesses. When he came back, he ate at home, and when he went out to fight, he ate at the military camp. He couldn't spend the money, so Yun Gang would occasionally withdraw some money for his expenses.

Yan Xingchuan felt a little awkward because of what she said: "Since it's a reward based on merit, it should be my share, why can't I take it?"

He had never thought about these things before. Anyway, he was not hungry or cold, so he naturally didn't care about these things. His soldiers needed these more than he did.

But this time, he subconsciously wanted to keep the things, at least to give her something so that she would not be left with nothing.

He also has to make a living, right?

If they can get married in the future, will he continue to let her support him?

It is unreasonable for you to share the money generously and go home to let your wife earn money to support you.
