Empress Dowager

The wind suddenly picked up, and the cold wind swept across her face. Chu Yingxuan tightened her collar and tightly grasped the silver sword with her other hand. She walked to a forest and stopped slightly.

Chu Yingxuan turned her head and looked around. The dark forest was not as angry as in the daytime, but it was covered with a layer of haze by the morning rain and dew, tempting people couldn't help but want to find out.The surroundings were quiet, and it only took a moment for the piercing sound of the long sword to be unsheathed to cut through this quietness.

Ever since Chu Yingxuan was reborn, she has continued the habit of waking up every morning to practice martial arts.

Girls are not as strong as boys, and wielding swords is a hard job, and it is also scoffed at by ordinary people, let alone officials.

To avoid unnecessary troubles, Chu Yingxuan has been learning martial arts by herself, and has read a lot of poetry and books.Of course, the skills that women should learn are also declining, and she is proficient in everything.She is willing to endure the hard study, just because she wants to make herself more worthy of Gao Lixin.

It's just that she didn't know if it was really useful.

The movements of her hands became more and more rapid, and the nearby branches and leaves became puppets under her sword. The long sword swung and contracted, and the collision made the whole forest rustle, as if shouting at her.

Chu Yingxuan's movements were interrupted by an unexpected crisp sound amidst the chirping noises. Her chest heaved violently, and the crystals oozing from her forehead were flickering. She pursed her lips and stared at the broken branch, talking to herself Said: "The conditions that I agreed to Gao Jin at the beginning were really helpless. I wanted to tell you about the matter after I retired with you, but the naive imagination of being a wife for a while made you and I die of hatred from now on, and... "

Chu Yingxuan lowered her head and stroked her belly, "And indirectly killed our child..."

Chu Yingxuan's face was sombre, and she sighed softly, her eyes were full of sparkle, but she held back, but raised her head tremblingly, and shouted to the dust in the air: "Your Highness... "..."

There was a slight smile on the corner of his mouth, and he made a secret decision in his heart, no matter what reason Gao Lixin didn't want to marry her, in this life, she will depend on her.

After thinking about it, my heart became much more comfortable.

Chu Yingxuan went back to the mansion, changed her clothes and dragged them to the ground. She was beautiful and dignified, not as heroic as before, her cheeks were as smooth as porcelain, and water could be squeezed out. Bright black eyes, clear and clear, pink lips like plump red cherries.

"Miss is so beautiful, if today's princess sees Zhunbao, she will definitely regret her recent words and deeds." After staring at Chu Yingxuan for a long while, Fang Yan, the maidservant who had been by Chu Yingxuan's side since she was a child, smiled and couldn't help sighing. The small pear dimple at the corner of the mouth rises and falls with the opening and closing of the lips.

She has never hesitated to praise her young lady's appearance. Even a little maid of hers has been watching her for so many years, and she is always impressed by her beauty every time she gazes at her. She doesn't know how the current princess can bear to abandon this beauty. .

The more Yan'er thought about it, the more wronged she felt for her young lady, she pouted and said: "I think the seventh princess treats young lady much better than the present-day princess, and young lady does not lack love. Since she doesn't ..."

Before Yan'er finished speaking, she was stopped by Chu Yingxuan sharply, "Yan'er is so rude, is Your Highness the Empress Dowager what ordinary people like you can say? I don't want to hear anything about the Empress Dowager in the future."

She was suddenly reprimanded by her master, although Chu Yingxuan treated her like a sister, but now seeing the other party's anger, Yan'er knew that she had overstepped, so she quickly closed her mouth tightly, lest she would say something again if she relaxed for a while to make her master angry .

Chu Yingxuan glanced at Yan'er, who was standing on the sidelines with her head bowed, and said, "Don't bring up the Seventh Princess again, I don't want to have anything to do with her. Besides, how can ordinary people in the royal family be able to climb high? "

Chu Yingxuan has never been proud of her being the prime minister's daughter, but only treats herself as an ordinary woman, and there is no such thing as preciousness.

Chu Yingxuan turned her head and smiled at herself in the mirror, her eyebrows stretched, and her face returned to normal. Then she got up and walked out of the bedroom towards the hall...

Yan'er nodded in response, but she was a little puzzled in her heart that the young lady who had always been kind and tender to the Seventh Princess suddenly didn't want to get entangled with her now?Could it be that the young lady really fell in love with the current princess?

Yan'er shook her head in distress, muttering to herself, Miss's heart is really elusive.

Yan'er was still in the same place in a daze, but when she looked up, she saw that Chu Yingxuan had already stepped out of the door and walked away, she hurriedly withdrew her thoughts, and followed her up.

"I can't blame the other princess's reluctance to marry her. She keeps a stern face all day long and doesn't know who she is showing it to."

Before Chu Yingxuan reached the entrance of the hall, voices from inside the hall came out and entered her ears.

Chu Yingxuan's footsteps paused, her eyebrows were raised in displeasure, but she instantly calmed down, and she changed into a calm expression again.She heard so many criticisms like this that her ears were callused, so she naturally gained a little more tolerance.

"Mother, stop talking..." A slender female voice was as gentle as a spring breeze.

"Why? There are rumors in the city. It is well known that the Empress Dowager intends to retire the engagement, so why not talk about it?"

The prime minister has gone to the early court, and now she is the biggest wife of the prime minister in the mansion, so she is naturally confident, and there is no taboo in her words.

"Second Niang, Jia Ning..." Chu Yingxuan stepped into the hall, with a slight smile on her lips, she walked slowly to the table and sat down, with the dignity and elegance of a lady.

Although the prime minister still has only one wife, in Chu Yingxuan's heart, she can only be the second mother. In her heart, the mother's position cannot be replaced by anyone.

"Morning sister..." Chu Jianing turned her head to face Chu Yingxuan's faint smile, her cheeks were caught off guard by two blushes, and there was a bit of panic mixed with her shyness, lest her mother just now What the pro said was heard by the other party.

The prime minister's wife, Mrs. Liu, wanted to say something more, but when she heard the sound, she saw that Chu Yingxuan had already taken a seat at the dining table, so she coughed lightly in embarrassment, and picked up the bowls and chopsticks on the table sleepily.

Chu Yingxuan cast a squinting glance at Mrs. Liu, took a full view of the depression that the other party was suppressing but did not dare to speak, and smiled contemptuously with the corners of her lips curled up.

Thinking of how much he was tortured by this woman in his previous life because of his obedient and submissive temperament?What's more, she is just a maid in her mother's room, but after her mother passed away, she replaced her mother's seat with her viciousness, what right does she have to treat herself like this?But in the end, there was no mother's protection, and her father obeyed the wife's advice, so she had no choice but to swallow the overflowing bitterness and grievances.Now that she is living a new life, she doesn't want to be manipulated or looked down upon by anyone anymore, except for Gao Lixin, no one has the right to bully her anymore.

Thinking of Mrs. Liu's suffocating appearance after being taught a lesson secretly by her, Chu Yingxuan snorted disdainfully, a lowly maid is a lowly maid, even if she flies up a branch and becomes a phoenix, it will not change the lowliness in her bones.

"Is my sister still going to the Wenqing Court today?"

The Wenqing Academy is a place where Chinese, Chinese, and poets gather together to recite poems and praises, or where scholars discuss politics publicly. Whenever Chu Yingxuan is free, she will slip into the courtyard disguised as a man to learn a thing or two.

Chu Yingxuan raised her eyes to look at Chu Jianing, her almond eyes were as clear as mountain spring water, very pure and beautiful.Chu Yingxuan has no hatred for this half-sister. After all, no matter in the previous life or the present life, she treats herself sincerely.

Just because she has an annoying mother, not to mention annoying, but Chu Yingxuan can't like her either.

Now that she had spoken to herself, Chu Yingxuan wanted to respond, but she just gave a cold "En".

"Then...can my sister take Ning'er with me?"

Chu Jianing naturally felt the sense of distance that Chu Yingxuan gave her, but no matter what others thought, she liked this sister very much.Especially recently, seeing her more heroic, gentle and charming, she has added a bit of heroism. Thinking of her neither humble nor overbearing and never showing weakness in front of her mother, Chu Jianing admired her even more.

Hearing the sound, Chu Yingxuan paused as she stretched out the chopsticks towards the dishes on the plate, and the forced smile froze on her face. Seeing the other party's eyes seem to be full of plum blossoms in full bloom, with gentle stubbornness.

"Okay..." Chu Yingxuan was at a loss for words for a moment, but she didn't know how to refuse, so she complied with a lack of interest.

Hold the food that is passed to your mouth, and you don't know the taste.

Gao Lixin returned to the Hall of Shaohua from the Imperial Study Room with her head drooping. This time, she still hit a snag.Although she didn't expect much about the divorce, but when she was rejected by the emperor, she was still a little disappointed.

Could it be that... in this life, she will still be entangled with that woman?

Thinking of what happened to her in the previous life, Gao Lixin couldn't help but shudder.

"The Seventh Princess is here..."

"Miss Queen..."

His thoughts were pulled back by the shouts outside the door, Gao Lixin followed the prestige and looked over, and saw a graceful girl wearing pink wide sleeves, describing her beauty as if dancing towards her in summer, with the vitality of the whole palace in her body.

Gao Lixin was dazzled by the face in front of her, she was a little confused, how could such a delicate and lovely woman be that ferocious and cruel demon?The thought of the sister she loved so much turned into a cold-blooded villain made her chest hurt so badly.

Gao Lixin tried her best to pull out a smile, and softly looked at the person in front of her. Before the person showed signs of it, she couldn't show it, so she had to stand up and walk around to greet him.

"Sister Huang, can you accompany me out of the palace?" Gao Jin's eyes twinkled, she smiled brightly, her hands tightly grasped Gao Lixin's arm, and her voice was very sweet.

"I...I don't really want to go out of the palace."

Gao Lixin was taken aback by Gao Jin's sudden intimacy. If it was placed before, the intimacy between sisters would be nothing.However, with the experience of the previous life, Gao Lixin only felt awkward for a while.Intentionally or unintentionally, he pulled his arm out of the opponent's hand when he refused.

Gao Jin seemed not to see the expression of refusal on Gao Lixin's face, grabbed her arm again and shook her, pouted and said coquettishly, "Sister Huang, just accompany me! I have run out, father will definitely not allow me to leave the palace again. So I can only sneak out of the palace with your king."

Gao Jin begged for a long time to see that she was uncompromising, and in the blink of an eye, he had an idea, and said, "Isn't the emperor wanting to retire? I am going out of the palace this time to meet Yingxuan, maybe this marriage can be avoided smoothly." Definitely!"

Gao Lixin's eyes widened and she lowered her head to stare at the person close to her. She knew the previous relationship between Gao Jin and Chu Yingxuan. Although she didn't want to marry that person, when she heard Gao Jin call that person's boudoir name so intimately, her nose suddenly twitched. A little sour, and my heart feels tight.

"Are you okay? Just help me this time..." Seeing that Gao Lixin was a little loose, Gao Jin continued to ask.

Looking out of the window, she has never walked out of the palace gate since she was reborn, so she is looking forward to the scene outside the palace.Regardless of the marriage issue, let's go out first to relax and see if we can find a good way to get the best of both worlds.

"Okay! I promise you yes, but... let me say first, after you leave the palace gate, go to the Prime Minister's Mansion by yourself. I won't accompany you. I want to wander around by myself."

Gao Lixin said with a straight face.

"Naturally!" Gao Jin said excitedly, she had no intention of asking Gao Lixin to accompany her to the Prime Minister's Mansion, and with their current identities, Yingxuan would not be embarrassed.

The author has something to say: the two protagonists will meet in the next chapter!
