In the bronze mirror, her face was pale. She was clearly beautiful, but her eyes and eyebrows always looked haggard.
Lin Yueying looked at herself in the bronze mirror and tried her best to smile. She could no longer remember how long it had been since she had laughed.
She curled her lips, but it was as if something was hanging on the corner of her mouth, and she could not lift it up no matter how hard she tried.
"Niangniang, this was just delivered.”Qing Li looked at Lin Yueying with a complicated expression and gently placed a bowl of soup on the edge of the dressing table.
Looking at the bowl of soup, Lin Yueying's lips, which had finally curled up, drooped down again. In the end, she only revealed a bitter smile. This was the child-avoiding soup that Chu Huaijin had sent over. Every time he finished pampering her, someone would secretly send this to her. He had never missed a chance. He did not want her to be pregnant with his child.
Lin Yueying picked up the bowl of soup and drank it slowly under Qing Li's gaze.
A teardrop fell into the bowl and into his throat, making the soup even more bitter.
"Empress, are you up?”Granny Li's voice came from outside the door.
Qing Li looked a little nervous. She looked at Lin Yueying, who handed the bowl to Qing Li and motioned for her to open the door.
Granny Li was from the Empress Dowager's palace, so Lin Yueying knew that Granny Li must have come because of her aunt's orders. He looked at the bronze mirror. Although he looked a little haggard, he was still considered normal. There shouldn't be any clues.
Qing Li placed the bowl in her hand behind the teapot on the table and quickly went to open the door.
Opening the door, Qing Li smiled and bowed slightly." Granny Li, why are you here?"”
"Naturally it was the Empress Dowager's orders. Has the Empress Dowager woken up?”Granny Li had been in the palace for almost 30 years. Although she looked a little old, her eyes were bright.
"I'm up. Granny, please come in." Qing Li stepped back respectfully. She was actually a little afraid of Granny Li. After all, she was an old woman in the palace. Her eyes had seen too much, and she was afraid that she would see something.
Inside the house, Lin Yueying was looking at the mirror as she inserted a jade hairpin into her hair. She stood up, but her legs were still weak. After taking two steps, she had no choice but to sit down at the table.
Granny Li walked in and bowed when she saw Lin Yueying sitting at the table." This servant greets the Empress."”
"There's no need to be so polite. May I know why Aunt sent you here?”Lin Yueying forced a smile and asked.
"Empress, the Empress Dowager said that she hasn't seen you for a few days and asked you to have a heart to heart talk with her if you have the time.”Granny Li had a smile on her face. Her eyes quickly swept over the bowl on the table, and a trace of doubt flashed across her heart. However, he didn't show it on his face.
Lin Yueying's expression darkened. She nodded and said with a smile," It's my negligence. I forgot to pay my respects to my aunt these past few days." After breakfast, BenGong will immediately go over.”
"Niangniang doesn't need to be anxious. The Empress Dowager said that she was just bored and wanted to chat with niangniang to pass the time. If niangniang has something to do, don't worry too much.”Granny Li lowered her head, her white hair combed meticulously.
Lin Yueying smiled. Not to mention that she had nothing to do all day, even if she did have something to do, her aunt had already asked Granny Li to come over. How could she not go? "BenGong also has nothing to do, wet nurse will reply on behalf of BenGong. Later BenGong will pay respects to aunt, sorry to trouble wet nurse.”
"Empress, your words are too serious!" Granny Li curtsied again." Then this servant will leave first."”
" Qingli, send Granny Li off."#
