The General Said She Didn’t Take a Wife - Chapter 159
Fang Yuzhu went to the East Region for the first year of the festival. Ning Queyu was looking forward to this day as in previous years. Even if Fang Yuzhu would leave in a hurry every year, she knew that her sister would definitely come.
But that year, she did not wait for Fang Yuzhu. That night she sat on the stone steps outside the Yuyan Palace, looking at the empty corridor, and waited all night. It was the Empress who told her that Fang Yuzhu went to the Eastern Region and this year will not come.
At first, she didn’t believe it, but it wasn’t until year after year that Fang Yuzhu never appeared, she realized that Fang Yuzhu really left and would not come back.
She was very resentful, annoyed at the feeling of waiting like this. From the day she entered the palace, the other party Yuzhu, she has always been waiting, waiting year after year, using a whole year to exchange for that one meet on the day.
She thought that Fang Yuzhu was as important as she was, but as a result Fang Yuzhu left and never came back.
Later, the queen mother saw that she was alone in the palace and panicked, and she was not interested in anything, so she gave her a puppy. The puppy is named Little Bamboo.
Hmph, Fang Yuzhu might as well kiss her as Xiao Zhuzi.
Fang Yuzhu kept bowing, feeling that his waist was about to break, and finally, a gentle soft call sounded from behind Ning Queyu, it was Yunyan’s voice:
“Little Yu, who is where?”
Ning Queyu snorted softly, and quickly said to Yuzhu:
“Get up.”
After saying that, she turned around and walked away, holding the little bamboo and rushing towards Yunyan:
“Mother, Fang Yuzhu is here.”
Ning Queyu never called her sister even once today.
Fang Yuzhu felt a little pain in his heart, but he took it for granted.
In the past, Ning Que’s language was still young, and she had no scruples in childish language. She didn’t understand honor and inferiority. Naturally, she dared to call her sister unscrupulously. Fortunately, the Empress and Empress didn’t hold her accountable.
Now that Ning Queyu is fifteen years old, she has a clear mind and understands that Fang Yuzhu is just a humble courtier to her, and naturally she will not call her sister again.
Fang Yuzhu got up, eased his stiff back, and looked up at Yun Yan, who was walking towards him. The queen’s celestial appearance, no matter how many years, was still graceful and beautiful.
Fang Yuzhu knelt down on both knees, leaned over and bowed, and shouted:
“Chen Fang Yuzhu, meet the Queen!”
Yunyan’s eyes were very soft, she glanced at Fang Yuzhu with a smile, and said:
“Okay, you don’t have to salute in the future. Since you’re here, come and sit in the room first.”
“Mother.”
Ning Queyu felt awkward, and acted coquettishly at Yunyan, pulling Yunyan’s sleeves and shaking it back and forth.
Yunyan laughed, stroking the bridge of Ning Queyu’s nose lovingly and lovingly, and said:
“Are you ready to check your homework later when your mother comes back?”
The color of Ning Queyu’s little face changed, and he didn’t dare to make trouble immediately.
Fang Yuzhu’s heart was bitter and helpless. Besides, she should have had such a realization long ago, but in the past few years, Lin Aoxue’s grace for allowing her to enter the palace and meet Xiaoyu made her forget her duty, so at this time , was very sad.
But she had already made a secret decision in her heart that she must adjust her mentality and not go beyond the norm.
“Xiaoyu is still complaining in your heart that you left without saying goodbye four years ago, and you are arrogant. Don’t take it to your heart.”
Fang Yuzhu was very moved by Yunyan’s gentleness, but she never felt that she was qualified to blame Xiaoyu. No matter what she suffered today, she deserved it. Besides, there was a distinction between high and low, and Xiaoyu didn’t recognize her. She also felt reasonable.
“Your Majesty asked the minister to come to Yuyan Palace to meet you.”
Fang Yuzhu’s words avoided Ning Que’s words. She didn’t know how to express her feelings, so she simply said nothing.
Yunyan didn’t force her, only said:
“What she means is that you should come to Yuyan Palace to wait, she has something to tell you later.”
Yunyan’s words made Fang Yuzhu raise her head, her eyes were full of doubts.
Lin Aoxue’s attitude towards her today made her feel strange, and what Yunyan said at this time surprised her even more, but she couldn’t analyze the deeper meaning from these words, and she couldn’t help but feel a little anxious.
However, after Yunyan’s voice fell, he signaled Fang Yuzhu to follow him in. Fang Yuzhu could not ask the question clearly, so he had to follow behind Yunyan and walked into the Yuyan Palace.
Fang Yuzhu was a little cautious. After entering the front hall, Yunyan arranged for a maid to show her the seat, but Fang Yuzhu was at a loss, and didn’t even know where to put his hands and feet.
Ning Queyu went to review her homework, only Yunyan and Fang Yuzhu were in the room.
Yunyan ironed the cup to make tea, Fang Yuzhu sat down, and when the cup of tea was brewed, Yunyan pushed it in front of Fang Yuzhu and spoke at the same time:
“Yuzhu.”
Fang Yuzhu’s expression froze, he straightened his back immediately, and responded:
“The minister is here.”
Yunyan laughed and shook her head gently:
“You don’t have to be so restrained, in this Yuyan Palace, you can’t be worthy of a monarch and a minister.”
Fang Yuzhu responded indifferently, but still sat upright subconsciously.
She held the teacup in both hands and thought about what Yunyan wanted to say to her, but she suddenly heard Yunyan say:
“Do you remember the first time I taught you to make tea?”
Fang Yuzhu’s eyes softened, how could she forget that they were still in Yujiang City at that time, not long after they were rescued by Lin Aoxue, Lin Aoxue and Yunyan kept them by their side, not only giving them food and clothing, but also teaching them to make tea.
“Yuzhu remembers.”
Her tone was less rigid, and her attitude became more relaxed.
Yunyan looked at her with a smile, and said:
“When will you make us another cup of tea?”
Fang Yuzhu’s hand holding the teacup suddenly clenched tightly, her eyes were filled with water, she raised her head and looked at Yunyan, her eyes met with Yunyan.
The latter’s gentle and loving expression overlapped with Fang Yuzhu’s long-dead mother, and tears welled up from the corner of Fang Yuzhu’s eyes.
She opened her mouth and wanted to say something, she wanted to answer, but she didn’t know how to answer.
How could she be qualified to make tea for the Empress and Empress? I’m afraid she lived up to their expectations and felt guilty for her immaturity and greed that deepened over time.
When I was young and ignorant, I thought that rejecting their favor was an independent and correct choice. Now, I can only swallow the bitter fruit by myself.
But before she figured out how to answer Yunyan’s words, Yunyan opened her mouth one step ahead of her and said with a smile:
“Actually, apart from yourself, we have never regarded you as an outsider. Your Majesty respects your choice and let you go outside to develop freely. The first few years were fine. Years, she often frowns.”
Yun Yan said in a eloquent manner, and every word that came out of her mouth shocked Fang Yuzhu.
“The year before last, it wasn’t because of the news that you were injured when you went out to fight bandits. She tossed and turned on the couch at night and couldn’t sleep. In just two months, her temples became white. Fortunately, news came back later that you were injured. It’s okay, she’s better now.”
“Don’t look at her beautiful appearance, she is very free and easy, but she has a lot of things in her heart, she doesn’t like to talk about these words, but she doesn’t say it, how do you know her painstaking efforts, every time she gets it When there is news about you, she will often talk about it in her mouth, saying that you are a good child, but you are not confident, you are too humble, and you always think of yourself as inferior, which is not good.”
Fang Yuzhu was at a loss for words. She tried her best to keep her eyes wide open to hold back the surging tears in her eyes as much as possible. Until Yunyan’s last sentence, her tears finally fell like beads with a broken thread.
“Yuzhu, she has waited ten years for you to call her mother emperor.”
Ten years ago, what Lin Aoxue said to him was still in her ears. She said that if she did not want to become their adopted daughter with Xiaoyu, she would completely cut off the relationship with Xiaoyu.
But in fact, Lin Aoxue didn’t do that. She not only gave Fang Yuzhu a chance to see Xiaoyu again, but also paved the way for her future, allowing her to walk calmly and unrestrainedly.
From a beggar who had nothing to her achievements, everything changed from the day she met Lin Aoxue.
Whatever she had, was given to her by Lin Aoxue.
She thought that Lin Aoxue was for Xiaoyu, but she never thought that she had also been highly anticipated, and that everything she had given up on her own initiative, and now felt guilty about, was placed in front of her again.
Fang Yuzhu’s eyes were full of tears, but her heart that was accustomed to low self-esteem could not be easily relieved.
Even though she was moved to tears, she still thought subconsciously whether she was qualified to receive this favor and bear this expectation, her life has experienced too many surprises, and her decision at this moment will affect Xiaoyu.
Her lips couldn’t stop trembling, and her eyes were full of longing and cowardice. The more she longed to be a member of this family, the more afraid she was that her existence would affect Xiaoyu’s future.
Her mind was in a mess, and for a while, she couldn’t sort out her thoughts and couldn’t find the answer.
Suddenly, the sound of footsteps came from outside the house. Lin Aoxue came. She walked to the table in astonishment. Seeing Fang Yuzhu crying out of breath, she glanced at Yunyan suspiciously and said strangely:
“It was fine just now, why did you suddenly cry like this?”
As she spoke, she naturally took out a piece of jinpa from her cuff to wipe the tears from her face for Fang Yuzhu.
As a result, Fang Yuzhu remembered what Yunyan said to her just now because of Lin Aoxue’s action. Tears flowed out, and she couldn’t stop it. The more Lin Aoxue wiped, the more tears on her face.
Fang Yuzhu was about to die from crying, Yunyan shrugged at Lin Aoxue, the smile on her face was a little helpless, Lin Aoxue glanced at her a little angrily, presumably it was Yunyan who said something to Fang Yuzhu’s child, and it became like this .
Yun Yan received Lin Aoxue’s eyes, but she didn’t mean to repent at all, and raised her eyebrows at Lin Aoxue.
Lin Aoxue was helpless and had no choice but to walk up to Fang Yuzhu, put his hand around Fang Yuzhu’s shoulder, and let Fang Yuzhu lean into her arms, but he blamed him dutifully:
“Hey, what’s worth being so sad about? They’re all people who have been on the battlefield, and what are they crying like?”
Fang Yuzhu couldn’t bear it any longer. She was nostalgic for this embrace, nostalgic for its warmth. She involuntarily grabbed Lin Aoxue’s clothes and buried her face in Lin Aoxue’s arms, whimpering and crying heart-breakingly.
Yun Yan, who was sitting on the side, squinted her eyes and glanced at Lin Aoxue with a half-smiley smile. Many years ago, Lin Aoxue met with sadness, and crying was no better than Fang Yuzhu.
Lin Aoxue pretended not to see Yunyan’s teasing gaze, she patted Fang Yuzhu’s shoulder to soothe her, turned her head and asked Yunyan again:
“Where’s Xiaoyu? Why didn’t you see her?”
Yunyan poured a glass of water to Lin Aoxue and replied with a smile:
“Hey, I heard that you came back to check her homework, so you’re cramming now.”
Lin Aoxue took the tea and snorted when she heard the words:
“She heard in the morning that the emperor list was released today, and she didn’t have the heart to read books early in the morning. I guessed that she must not have completed the task today.”
Fang Yuzhu’s ear tip moved in Lin Aoxue’s arms, she was immersed in great grief, but suddenly her heart trembled because of Lin Aoxue’s words, she raised her head with red eyes, her eyes were full of disbelief.
She was apprehensive and pleasantly surprised, but she didn’t dare to express her thoughts, lest she be self-motivated.
But he heard Yunyan laugh beside him, and added:
“That girl put a lot of thought into dressing up in the morning, but it’s much more grand than when she attended the palace banquet a while ago.”
Fang Yuzhu was stunned, and even forgot to continue being sad.
Why would Ning Queyu dress up so carefully? With Huang Bang and her Fang Yuzhu, everything changed.
Can she boldly and selfishly think that Ning Queyu is for her?
But when she saw Ning Queyu just now, her attitude made her sad and puzzled.
Lin Aoxue took a sip of the tea in the cup to moisten her throat, put down the teacup and wiped a handful of tears from Fang Yuzhu’s face, then sat down beside Yunyan and asked Fang Yuzhu:
“What’s your plan next?”
Fang Yuzhu had just finished crying, and her mind was still dizzy. What was her plan? She looked blankly at Lin Aoxue and Yunyan, not knowing how to answer Lin Aoxue’s question.
Lin Aoxue saw that she didn’t seem to be in a good state, she tilted her head and thought for a while, then got up and walked to the bookshelf on the side, took out a small box from the mezzanine, took it in her hand and walked back to the table.
Lin Aoxue opened the box and took out two documents. Fang Yuzhu knew those two things. She had seen one of them ten years ago. It was the household registration document Lin Aoxue had prepared for Ning Queyu when he adopted him.
That other one…
Fang Yuzhu’s heart beat like a drum.
Lin Aoxue spread out another document in front of Fang Yuzhu, no longer hiding anything from her, and said:
“Both of these documents were prepared ten years ago, and Xiaoyu’s one was settled ten years ago, but this one of yours is still one final step away.”
Fang Yuzhu’s eyes fell on the yellowed paper, and there were tears in his eyes.
As long as she signs the document, she will have everything she has ever dreamed of, status, status, power, as well as a sister and two loving mothers.
Lin Aoxue and Yunyan never looked down on her, but she looked down on herself and didn’t dare to be too greedy.
Her hands trembled uncontrollably, and her face showed an indescribable struggle.
Lin Aoxue still stared at her calmly, with a gentle smile in her eyes, and said:
“You have something to say. If you still don’t want to, I will not force it.”
Ten years ago, Fang Yuzhu was only seven years old. Although she was more mature than children of the same age, she still retained the immaturity of a child. Even if she made her own decision, she could not guarantee that she would not regret it in the future.
Lin Aoxue and Yunyan were very optimistic about this child’s temperament, so they were willing to give her a chance, and they promised her a ten-year appointment.
Today’s Fang Yuzhu will be eighteen in two months. Her thinking is more rational and mature, and she is already responsible for her future and life. Lin Aoxue takes out this document again and waits for Fang Yuzhu’s decision, no matter what she wants. What is it, Lin Aoxue is willing to promise her a fulfillment.
Fang Yuzhu’s eyes were full of tears, and the tears were swirling in her eyes. She pursed her lips, then stood up, knelt on her knees, bowed her head, and said hesitantly:
“Your Majesty, the queen, the two are in Yuzhu’s great kindness. Yuzhu has nothing to repay in this life, but Yuzhu does not want to affect Xiaoyu’s future because of her own selfishness. Yuzhu is willing to be loyal to the royal family as a minister, and will not quit. .”
If she signs this document, it means that she has the qualification to inherit the throne.
Lin Aoxue valued her so much, she was afraid that she would take away what should belong to Xiaoyu, so she chose restraint, chose to forbear, chose to suppress her inner desire, forcibly held back her sorrow, and rejected the kindness of Lin Aoxue and Yunyan.
Lin Aoxue and Yunyan didn’t show any surprises, ten years were enough for them to understand Fang Yuzhu thoroughly and know that this girl was so stubborn and unchanging.
Yunyan and Lin Aoxue looked at each other, and finally shook their heads. Since Fang Yuzhu was unwilling, it would be boring for them to rush.
Lin Aoxue put away the things in his hand, wanting to say that this matter has been exposed, and will not mention it again, but a roar suddenly came from the side hall:
“Fang Yuzhu!”
Lin Aoxue and Yunyan turned around at the same time, and saw Ning Queyu angrily walking over, the fifteen-year-old little princess, dressed in a gorgeous palace costume, looked like a delicate porcelain doll, but she just walked out with raised eyebrows. A menacing aura.
Fang Yuzhu shrank his neck, and then felt uncomfortable, his throat rolled, and timidly turned his head to look at Ning Queyu.
Ning Queyu approached with red eyes, first greeted Lin Aoxue and Yunyan, and then stared at Fang Yuzhu.
Fang Yuzhu trembled at her stare, and was frightened by Ning Queyu’s aura. She never hesitated in the face of the vicious bandits, but shivered because of Ning Queyu’s stare.
Ning Que’s tone was so red that her face was flushed. Ever since Yunyan talked with Fang Yuzhu just now, she had been eavesdropping on the side.
Although her own thoughts were cleaned up by the Queen Mother, she also understood that Fang Yuzhu’s temperament was so stubborn, and she was too shy to speak by herself, and she was glad that the Queen Mother was willing to help her.
Unexpectedly, Fang Yuzhu, this sullen and stupid bamboo, was really angry. She was so angry that she lost her manners and lost her manners. She hurried over without overhearing, and then stared at her and said angrily:
“Why are you so self-righteous? What do you mean by not wanting to affect my future? Is it the mother emperor who has the final say or you have the final say about who will be the heir? Mother Queen Chen, you are just uneasy and kind!”
Fang Yuzhu was stunned, Lin Aoxue and Yunyan also blinked in surprise, and then they couldn’t help laughing.
Yun Yan shook her head with a smile, turned her head to look at Lin Aoxue, squeezed her eyes narrowly, and joked:
“Look how hard you push Xiaoyu, she actually dislikes your throne so much.”
Lin Aoxue was extremely helpless. She touched her nose awkwardly, feeling a little embarrassed. If this word spreads out, she might be laughed at by the whole world.
In the eyes of others, the throne, which is extremely noble and can not be obtained by squeezing one’s head, falls into the hands of their family. They all dislike them, and they want to push it out in a hurry, for fear that the mountain-like burden will fall on them. shoulder.
