Shi Shuling had a dream.
In her dream, she returned to the past, when she was still the eldest daughter of the Shangshu family. Her second sister, who looked very similar to her, always pestered her and stayed by her side.
"Sister, why am I still not able to play well even after studying with you for so long?"
The girl sat in front of the piano, her eyes lively, her tone distressed, yet with a hint of intimacy.
Shi Shuling saw himself in his dream and smiled gently: "You, you always think about being lazy. If you practiced hard, you would have learned it long ago."
The girl pretended to be angry: "Sister is always like this, either saying Qing'er is lazy or stupid and ignoring her!"
Shi Shuling laughed: "When did I say you were stupid?"
"That's what my sister is thinking!"
At this moment, Lian Yi came in from outside with a plate of dessert.
Shi Shuling asked, "Does my younger sister still want to eat the food in my older sister's room?"
The girl's eyes suddenly lit up: "Yes!"
This dream was so real, it seemed like it happened yesterday.
When he woke up, Shi Shuling was in a daze for a long time.
There was a cold feeling on her face, and she knew it was tears.
Qingqing...
He has been dead for three years.
Self-blame, guilt, sadness, hatred - hatred towards myself... all kinds of emotions, even after three years, are still so strong.
I really want to see Qingqing again.
Even just saying one word would be fine.
Shi Shuling got up from the bed and opened his wardrobe. Inside was a set of winter clothes neatly arranged. That was what Shi Shuling had promised to make for Shi Wuqing.
It has a soft and bright color, which is Shi Wuqing's favorite color; on it are flowers embroidered by Shi Shuling stitch by stitch; it is made of the most precious fabric and is a tribute sent by the current emperor. There is no other like it in the world.
But it can only stay in the dark closet forever, never waiting for the day when its owner will wear it.
Because, its owner no longer has winter.
Recalling the last day, Shi Shuling still felt the pain deep in his bones.
"Miss, the Queen..." The maid outside pushed the door open and saw her standing in front of the wardrobe, staring at the dress in a daze. She was stunned for a moment: "What's wrong? Isn't this the dress for the Queen?"
Shi Shuling came back to his senses: "Empress?"
When she turned around, she realized that the maid was wearing Lian Yi.
"Yes! The Queen is already in the front hall. Miss, don't you want to change your clothes?"
Shi Shuling almost laughed out of anger: "Queen? It's only been a short time? Qi Luan has already appointed a new queen? I don't think his sincerity is anything more than this!"
She stormed out, her mind full of thoughts: "Who is this blind person who stole her sister's identity and showed off to her?"
"Uh..." Lian Yi, who was left behind, looked at her back in confusion: "What are you angry about, Miss? Wasn't she very happy yesterday when she knew that the Second Miss would come to see her?"
How did it change overnight?
And... what's with the new queen? Hasn't the Queen always been the Second Young Lady?
…
Shi Shuling was walking on the road, and the more he thought about it, the angrier he became, and his emotions were almost taking over his body.
She had already gone to the palace to ask Qi Luan for an explanation, and was even thinking of poisoning Qi Luan to death!
Before reaching the front hall, Shi Shuling saw a girl in blue clothes sitting high up in the main seat. The red hairpin on her head and the material of her clothes were all priceless.
In addition, she exudes an innocent and pure aura that only comes from being well protected.
Shi Shuling's eyes were cold as he strode in.
"You are the queen, so you have to sit here..."
The maids in the room were talking.
"Get down from here..." Shi Shuling met the eyes of the girl in blue before he could finish his sentence.
Shi Shuling suddenly froze.
