Whenever he had nothing to do, he would call her to the palace to talk. He was always delighted to listen to this pretty little girl telling him about the strange things that happened in the shop using her unique logic.
When he was in a good mood, he 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 said: I haven't seen your good friend Wen Yu for a long time, bring her along too...
When she saw Wen Yu, the Queen Mother remembered, "Wen Yu, your sister-in-law just passed away, right?"
Wen Yu replied: "To answer your Majesty, yes."
The Queen then scolded the people around her: "You didn't remind me? I just let them come and chat while I had nothing to do these two days. Where is it convenient for her to come out?"
The female official next to her hastened to apologize.
Wen Yu smiled and said, "Thank you for your consideration, Madam. The affairs at home have been basically completed."
The queen sighed, "That Xu is really pitiful. Can you leave a little girl behind?"
"Yes. Now, my mother is taking care of me personally."
"Take good care of her! Remember this for me, and when she is out of mourning, bring her here for me to see."
The female official quickly wrote it down.
The other girls seemed to be quite familiar with Wen Shizhu. One of them was holding a cookbook and asking Wen Shizhu for advice.
There is a small kitchen in the Queen's Palace, and today they made some snacks and candies. The Queen tasted them and thought they tasted good, so she ordered some to be sent to several palaces.
A few people chatted and laughed for a while, then a palace maid came in and called out, "Empress!" but didn't say anything else.
The queen looked at her and nodded, "You guys, go to the side hall for a while."
The female officer stepped forward and said, "Madam and girls, this way please!"
Wen Yu also stood up and prepared to walk to the side hall.
The position where the female official stood happened to block Wen Yu.
When everyone moved forward, she was about to take a step. But the female official did not wait for her, but walked directly in front of her. She even paused, as if to push her down.
With a thought in her mind, Wen Yu turned her head and glanced at the Queen. However, she saw that the Queen was also looking at her with a calm face. She followed everyone into the side hall, and as soon as she entered the door, she dodged and hid behind the curtain to look back.
After a while, footsteps were heard, and a young man of medium build flashed through 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 stick her head out again, and only heard the young man say, "Greetings to the Queen!"
"Qi Ru is here?" The queen's voice was very gentle.
"Thank you for the snacks and candies, Madam Queen. They taste so good!"
"It's just fresh out of the pot, so it's just fresh! You have to remember to combine work and rest, don't work too hard. I have guests right now, so you go first!"
"Yes." The young man didn't say anything more. He bowed and turned away.
Wen Yu didn't dare to look again.
When the footsteps died down, the female official led a few people out. Wen Yu followed behind, wondering: Does the Queen want me to see this person? Who is he? Why? Suddenly, she thought: Could this be the person that Li Ge Lao said was behind the screen, listening to the emperor's administration?
Look at the Queen again, she is joking with Zhuzhu! Zhuzhu is trying to attract business for her embroidery shop.
"This year's spring fabrics arrived before the New Year, and now they are gradually arriving. Zhuzhu brought some. This year's main color is elegant. You can see, the colors are very light. For a while, Ayu liked to wear this color."
The other girls all gathered together to look, "Is this the new look in the album?"
"It's a new product launched by our embroidery building this year!"
"This one is really pretty. I've grown taller this year. When I took out my skirt the other day, it was already down to my ankles..."
Wen Yu approached the Empress and asked quietly, "Your Majesty, I just glanced back and saw that young man. He looked very energetic and had a good demeanor. Wen Yu has some talent for painting. I took a quick look at him... I think his face looks like the Emperor's youth!"
The Empress did not look at Wen Yu either: "People who can paint, the way they look at people is different, right? Maybe it is similar, but I have never seen Your Majesty when he was young."
"Looking at his bearing, it doesn't look like he has a royal bearing. Are you not a royal descendant?"
"You will know later!" The queen covered her mouth with a handkerchief.
"How can you know if you haven't seen the real thing? But I like the screen. Look over there..." The queen pointed to a large cluster of peonies next to it.
"Of course, the queen's things are good. However, they can only be placed in the queen's palace. They can't be placed in the halls of ordinary people."
"This one isn't that big! A few days ago, I moved a set from the warehouse to the imperial study, and it's much bigger than this one! 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 and thinking about us!"
"Who are we? Who is thinking about you? You are so self-indulgent!" The Queen rolled her eyes at her.
Just now, after the young man went out, he asked the eunuch beside him, "Did you find out? Who are they?"
"Your Highness, it's the Empress's nieces and nephews, Lord Wen's daughter, and their good friends who often come to the palace to accompany the Empress. They cook together when they are free. I thought Your Highness would meet them!" The eunuch winked.
His Highness has not yet married, and this eunuch thought that the Queen wanted to act as a matchmaker.
This distracted the young man from his thoughts and he smiled, "Your 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've been waiting for you two. Great news!"
"What's wrong?"
"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 was teaching her sisters to dance.
Lady Yan was so lithe that she could spin on the spot for an hour and do hundreds of somersaults in one breath. Her clothes were fluttering without any disorder.
I also flipped over, flipped over five or six times, and I was sure to fall! Lady Yan's straight waist, shoulders and neck were like a swan, and she was particularly beautiful. The look she gave her eldest brother was always full of affection.
Every time my elder brother was looked at by her, his face would turn red! That would always make my sister-in-law angry.
But the sisters laughed so hard that their stomachs hurt.
The sisters of the Bai family are all talented, but they excel in different talents. The fourth sister is the best dancer, and later... Later, in order to support Yi Bai, she danced in a brothel. The cheers and lewd laughter of those patrons seemed to be right beside her ears. Master Qing's heart felt like it was being stabbed by needles, and she began to spasm.
At this time, Yibai was working in his main room. Lanzhou squatted at the door, watching the turtle basking in the sun. The maid had just turned Master Qing over and stretched his legs. She was resting in the corridor drinking tea, so no one noticed her.
The five sisters are very talented, and her eldest brother praised her embroidery skills as "better than hers."
It's a pity that she was still young at that time and had not yet learned all the Bai family's embroidery skills.
Booming explosions, bewildered sisters. Soldiers. Shouting. Running diners and servants. The captured elder brother.
The eldest brother…just turned around and looked at them, without even saying a word. The twelve-year-old girl didn’t know that it was a farewell forever…
Her husband and sons were taken away, and her sister-in-law was about to give birth, but she was the calmest and took care of her three unmarried sisters.
Later, news came that the eldest brother and nephews were all dead.
Several people burst into tears and refused to believe it.
"No! Something must have happened..." Although the sister-in-law's face turned pale due to her husband's death, she still stroked her belly and stood in front of them firmly.
But suddenly one day, my sister-in-law went crazy and screamed crazily. At night, she hanged herself. She gave birth to Yibai while hanging herself!
Master Qing was waving his arms and kicking his feet.
What did my sister-in-law yell? "Tan Yanling! Li Da Niu! Is it you? Is it you who harmed the Bai family? I let the wolf in! I am the sinner of the Bai family! My husband, I have let you down!"
"Tan Yanling?"
"Big girl Li!"
Master Qing shouted hoarsely and opened his eyes.
