The Empress Behind the Veil
Chapter 39 What to Do in the Palace
After Qin Ruojiu regained consciousness, she just shook her head limply, then wiped the sweat off her forehead. His expression paled and he lowered his head, “I'm fine, now what time is it ?”
“Around 6 am !” replied Lu’Er slowly.
Qin Ruojiu got up and nodded, “Help me get up, and sidestep my hair.”
“Enjoy, it's still morning, why not continue your rest?” Lu’Er was shocked when she saw he was about to wake up.
Recalling his dream last night, Qin Ruojiu shook her head, “No, I had a strange dream last night, I can't sleep anymore. ”
“Good, Empress!”
He sat in front of the mirror quietly, he looked at his face covered with a black veil, then yesterday's nightmare appeared again in his mind.
In his nightmare, a man smiled coldly and angrily while looking at him, then the man stuck out his demonic hand to strangle his neck, leaving him out of breath…
His heart was even more afraid. Not knowing how long had passed, his eyes became faint and blurry. At this time, Lu’Er smiled and lowered her head, “Empress, it is done. Do you like this bun?”
Qin Ruojiu looked at herself from the mirror, that black and thick hair was carried on the model of clouds, her black hair was shiny, very eye-catching. Since childhood, his father has often praised his beautiful hair, even though he covered his beautiful face, only with his hair, he can make the men in this world fall in love.
“Very good. Lu’Er, you are very skilled. This hair is so good!” Qin Ruojiu stuck out a finger to stroke her own hair.
Lu’Er was so humble, Qin Ruojiu smiled as well.
“Enjoy, what are you planning today?”
“What else can I do in the palace?”
“Empress, yesterday someone gave silk cloth to the palace, the fabrics are brightly colored, feel very soft to the touch. Does the Empress want to go see the fabrics? After all, the Empress also has no other plans, how about we go to choose fabrics to make crafts or clothes?”
Qin Ruojiu felt his idea made sense. These few days were very boring for him. He recalled the times when Dad would not allow him to study witchcraft, and instead had him study women's work such as embroidery, sewing as well as music, chess, history and drawing. It just so happens that now what he learned can be used.
Qin Ruojiu agreed, he asked Lu’Er to choose some nice fabric, then he looked for needle and thread, he wanted to embroider “flower peonies vying for bloom”. The embroidery of his peonies is very beautiful, Father often praises his embroidery, and says that his embroidery is even better than that of the embroideries in the palace.
These few days, Qin Ruojiu spent his time in the palace by embroidering peonies, sometimes a walk in the flower garden, as the mood improved, he even played music in Baihua Park.
Today, his mood was not so calm, he had not managed to embroider a single peony flower, whereas his hand had already been pierced several times. Although not severely injured, but the blood flow in the finger is related to the heart, the more the finger is injured, the more unsettled he is. So, he put down his embroidery and let out a long sigh, then walked to Baihua Park.
Today's weather is very sunny, the air is also warm, not at all cold.
