The Poisonous Wife: Cute Baby Comes to Rebirth with Me

After Aunt Yuan Xin and Aunt Qingyang walked away, Yun Xi took a deep breath, trying to calm her inner anxiety.

She gently lifted the hem of her skirt and prepared to lift the curtain. However, at this moment, a low and majestic voice came from behind the curtain: "Yun Xi, why are you still standing there? Come in."

She was startled, and her breathing, which had been adjusted, became disordered again.

In a hurry, she opened the curtain, forgetting the etiquette that Aunt Qingyang taught her every day, and almost rushed into the hall.

Her steps were hurried and disorderly, like a soldier charging on the battlefield. In just a few steps, she arrived in front of the Empress Dowager.

The Empress Dowager was sitting cross-legged in front of the Arhat bed, with two bowls of steaming tea on the low table in front of her.

She was wearing a yellow casual dress embroidered with a flying phoenix. Although her face was a little pale, her eyes were shining sharply.

Seeing this, Yun Xi became even more flustered. She hurried forward to salute, but unexpectedly stepped on the hem of her skirt. She fell forward and almost fell at the feet of the Empress Dowager.

At that moment, Yun Xi felt her heart beating like a drum. She raised her head in a hurry and met the deep and sharp eyes of the Empress Dowager.

There was no expression on the Empress Dowager's face, but her eyes seemed to hide a hint of helplessness and tolerance.

"Your servant Yun Xi pays homage to the Empress Dowager." Yun Xi quickly steadied herself, took a deep breath, and bowed respectfully.

"General, if you were on the battlefield, how could you accomplish anything if you were so flustered?"

The Empress Dowager spoke softly, her voice revealing an unquestionable majesty.

Yun Xi was shocked when she heard this, and quickly replied, "I know I was wrong, and I will keep it in mind in the future."

"Get up and sit over there." The Empress Dowager pointed to the seat next to the low table. Yun Xi hesitated because that seat was very close to the Empress Dowager, almost on equal footing.

But the Empress Dowager didn't seem to care about it. She just repeated calmly: "Sit down."

Yun Xi didn't dare to hesitate any longer and quickly walked to the designated seat and sat down.

She only felt that her heartbeat was still accelerating, as if it was about to jump out of her chest.

Seeing this, the Empress Dowager smiled gently, then pointed to the teacup beside her and said, "Come, have a sip of hot tea. You must be thirsty after entering the palace so early in the morning."

Upon hearing this, Yun Xi quickly picked up the teacup and began to drink from it in big gulps.

She was indeed thirsty, especially since the dry steamed bun she had eaten this morning was still stuck in her throat, making her feel even more thirsty.

After drinking the tea, Yun Xi put down the teacup and considered how to start the conversation.

She knew that she came here to ask about the child, but the Empress Dowager seemed to have already known her purpose.

"Yunxi, I know what you want to ask." The Empress Dowager said slowly, "But there are some things that you don't have to worry about too much. Just walk when there is a way, do the work when there is a job, and live a good life."

Yun Xi felt warm in her heart when she heard this.

She knew that the Queen Mother was comforting her and telling her to let go of her obsession.

But she still couldn't help asking, "Grand Empress Dowager, that child... is there really a destiny between him and me?"

The Empress Dowager was silent for a while, then slowly said: "You are a person of merit, and what is yours will eventually be given to you. There is indeed a destiny between you and that child, but the depth of destiny depends on God's will. If he comes, it means that your destiny is deep; if he does not come, it can only be said that it is God's will that cannot be violated."

Yun Xi's eyes were slightly red, and she said softly: "I just feel that the child has suffered, and I can't bear it."

The Empress Dowager smiled gently, picked up Yun Xi's tea bowl, placed it on the table, and said, "Look at this table, although the tea bowl has been moved away, the traces of the tea spilled are still there.

However, as soon as something new replaces it, the mark is no longer noticeable, as if it has been covered up.”

Yun Xi observed silently and found it was indeed the case. She seemed to have realized something.

"However, has the mark really disappeared?" The Empress Dowager suddenly asked, and then moved the teacup away, revealing a faint mark underneath. "Look, the mark is still there. Just like the suffering you have endured, or the mistakes made by certain people, they will leave marks in your heart. These marks are proof of your growth and testimony to the hardships you have gone through."

A hint of determination flashed in Yun Xi's eyes: "Then, how can this mark be replaced?"

The Queen Mother pointed to the table and said, "A new teacup can cover the old marks, so that people can only see the perfect side. As for the marks in your hearts, you only need to cover them with tolerance and kindness, so that the world can see your more mature and stronger side. As for the real marks, you only need to know them yourself. That is your story and your treasure."

"Some traces are related to the country and the world. Some things are better left for you to understand."
