Long Live the Empress

Early the next morning, Yue Hanwen looked at Su Hongfu lying on the bed and smiled happily. This beautiful woman was finally his!

Su Hongfu blushed and personally helped Yue Hanwen to dress and wash, then went with him to pay her respects to the old lady.

The old lady was happy to see her son's smiling face, and immediately gave Su Hongfu a few pieces of Shu brocade to make some new clothes.

Yue Jinghao also bowed to the old lady, "Grandma, since you gave Aunt Fu clothes, then I will give Aunt Fu Wanjinlou rouge! Aunt Fu will be more attractive if she uses Wanjinlou rouge!"

The old lady nodded. "Go ahead! Go get some money and buy yourself a few boxes."

After a month of rest, Yue Jinghao has grown taller and her complexion is not as sallow as before...

Yue Yuyan originally wanted to go out with Yue Jinghao to take advantage of the situation, but Yue Jinghao secretly pulled her aside and said, "Now that we are all gone, it's time for that person to make trouble! The most favored person in the mansion now is Aunt Fu. Third sister, you should stay in the mansion and talk to Aunt Fu. Sister will definitely choose the best rouge for you!"

When Yue Yuyan heard that Yue Jinghao would buy it for her too, she nodded happily and went to find Su Hongfu.

Wanjinlou is indeed the largest rouge shop in the capital. The rouge it makes is not only colorful but also smells good, but the price is a bit high.

The customers who frequented Wanjinlou were all ladies from prominent families, and they all bought a lot of things as if they were free.

Yue Jinghao was not interested in these things. She just told the age and status of the person who made the gift and let the waiter take it.

Suddenly, Yue Jinghao found a porcelain box in the corner. Just as she was about to pick it up to have a look, another hand grabbed it first...

Yue Jinghao looked back and recognized Xu Lingcan, the daughter of the second-rank commander of the Left Wing Vanguard Battalion. Because she was born in a military family, she was straightforward, unlike those delicate and pretentious women.

Xu Lingcan regretted why he was so quick, and seeing Yue Jinghao looking at him, he awkwardly handed the porcelain box to Yue Jinghao, "I'm sorry, miss, I... I didn't mean it, please forgive me!"

Yue Jinghao smiled without any concern, "Miss Xu, you are being polite. It's just a box of rouge. It doesn't matter who buys it!"

Xu Lingcan wondered why Yue Jinghao knew him, and then he thought of those young ladies who always called him a tomboy behind his back, so he became a little alert, "Young lady, do you know me?"

Yue Jinghao looked at Xu Lingcan, who was innocent, and smiled, "Commander Xu is an upright person, and he has trained many strong soldiers for the emperor. I think there is no one in the capital who doesn't know Miss Xu, right?"

Xu Lingcan finally felt relieved, "Then who is this lady..."

Manju continued, "My lady is Yue Jinghao, the daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion!"

Xu Lingcan quickly bowed to Yue Jinghao, "I am sorry for not recognizing Miss Yue. Please..."

Before she could finish her words, Yue Jinghao pulled her up and said, "Miss Xu, there's no need to be polite. It's our fate to meet in this huge capital. I look older than you, so how about you call me Sister Jing and I call you Sister Can'er?"

Other noble ladies thought Xu Lingcan was rude, so Xu Lingcan had no friends. Now the daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion actually recognized her as her sister, so she immediately bowed with a smile on her face, "Can'er greets Sister Jing~"

Yue Jinghao took off a emerald green jade bracelet from her hand and put it on Xu Lingcan's hand, "Sis, you didn't bring anything better today, so consider this bracelet as a gift to your younger sister~"

Xu Lingcan was flattered and quickly returned the gift. After searching through the clothes, he found that he only had a newly made dark blue silk ribbon. This return gift was really shabby...

But Yue Jinghao took the necklace and looked at it left and right, "Sister, you have great skills! It just so happens that I have a jade pendant that I haven't made a necklace with yet, so I'll give it to you right away! Thank you, Sister Caner, I like it very much!" Then she put the necklace in her purse.

Xu Lingcan didn't expect Yue Jinghao to be so easy to get along with, so he relaxed and picked rouge with Yue Jinghao.

When they parted, Xu Lingcan invited Yue Jinghao to visit Xu's house when she had time, and Yue Jinghao nodded in agreement.

Watching Xu Lingcan's departing carriage, Yue Jinghao tightly grasped the purse containing the silk cord.

In the previous life, Xu Lingcan's father, Xu Xinghuai, suspected the cause of the old emperor's death and questioned Wei Zilin, who accused him of treason. All the men in the Xu family were executed, and the women were sent to the military camp to become military prostitutes. Xu Lingcan was stubborn, and on her way to the military camp, she crashed into a tree and died. The soldiers who were watching over her threw her aside at random, leaving her body to be torn apart by wild dogs...
