Her hair was cloud-like and beautiful! She opened her eyes and found herself back in the third year

When Cheng Yan came out of the shower, he saw Qin Yizhen sitting in front of the dressing table, staring blankly at her reflection in the bronze mirror with twin lotus blossoms.

Finally, she lowered her head, took a filament from her makeup box, and put it on her butterfly-shaped hair ornament.

He walked over, reached out and grabbed the hairpin, the tassels adorning it falling into his palm and swaying gently.

"Why are you unhappy?"

He did have some understanding of her emotions. If she was really unhappy, she wouldn't take it out on anyone; she would just sit quietly without saying a word and not pay much attention to anyone.

Could it be that he went too far and angered her?

He stands here tall and imposing, exuding a powerful aura that makes him impossible to ignore.

Qin Yizhen turned to look at him, and then said, "Fang Shixin is out."

"She was imprisoned yesterday, but was released early this morning. Her father, Fang Shaoqing, has now been reinstated."

"Is that so?" Cheng Yan frowned.

Qin Yizhen said, "They said to the outside world that it was her maid who did it, and that she was completely innocent and knew nothing about it. I heard that the Empress Dowager even said that she should come and apologize to me, and that the matter at yesterday's palace banquet would be considered over."

As she spoke, Qin Yizhen bit her lip slightly, somewhat unwilling.

Although Granny Gui and Lü Qiao were beaten, they felt it was worth it to get rid of the treacherous Fang Shixin. However, only one night later, Fang Shixin was released, and Fang Shaoqing was reinstated.

That infuriated them.

Sure enough, early in the morning, Lü Qiao was able to climb out of bed to come find her.

"Why did Mother let her go?" Qin Yizhen couldn't understand.

"Perhaps there is some reason," Cheng Yan could only advise her. "Although I have been resting these past few days, I still have to go to the Ministry of War every day. When I go there later, I will go to the palace to ask for you."

"No, I'll go myself."

The three of them, Lü Qiao and her companion, were even punished for this, and they were all punished because of her. As their mistress, she could not stop them at the time, but she could not let their efforts go to waste.

We need to get to the bottom of this.

Qin Yizhen was holding her breath, so she ordered someone to bring her breakfast. After eating it quickly, she led her entourage to the palace.

Cheng Yan couldn't stop her, so he went with her.

Upon entering the palace, before she could even ask any questions, Empress Dowager Cheng handed her a piece of paper: "Take a look for yourselves."

Qin Yizhen took a closer look, first frowning, then understanding.

Empress Dowager Cheng said, "What Miss Fang said is true. This method can cure smallpox. I had several imperial physicians discuss it and found that it is indeed feasible."

It was only then that Qin Yizhen remembered that Fang Shixin always had many strange and wonderful new ideas, and this smallpox vaccination was one of them.

In the previous life, Fang Shixin came up with this method after entering the palace in order to consolidate her position.

Whether it was usable or not, she didn't know, since the outcome of whether it was usable or not hadn't been determined while she was alive.

"Did she use this prescription to ensure the Fang family's safety?"

"Yes." Empress Dowager Cheng took a sip of tea. "If it really works, it will benefit all people. In the future, there will be a solution to smallpox. I grant her permission."

That's why the Fang family was released from prison in just one night, and Fang Shaoqing was reinstated to his original position.

Qin Yizhen wasn't unreasonable. Knowing the inside story, she wasn't too angry anymore: "Since Mother has already made a decision, then so be it."

Cheng Yan also read it carefully, but was somewhat worried: "This method seems a bit strange. If it really works, that's fine, but what if it doesn't?"

Empress Dowager Cheng said, "If it's useless, and the Fang family dares to deceive me, I will naturally make them pay back a hundredfold or a thousandfold. The Fang family is in Qin Capital, so they can't escape."

Cheng Yan thought for a moment and nodded: "Then let's give it a try. But this is a one-time thing. If she dares to have any more ideas about Yi Zhen, I will not let her off the hook."

"Don't worry." Empress Dowager Cheng's eyes held a hint of coldness. "There is absolutely no reason for this to happen again and again."

Even if what Fang Shixin gives is very useful, it's impossible to keep wronging your own family members forever.

If Fang Shixin doesn't behave herself, she has plenty of ways to dig out what she knows.

"That's good."

Now that they were in the palace, the two decided to meet Emperor Jing'an.

At this moment, Emperor Jing'an was practicing archery in the martial arts field. He hit the bullseye with one arrow, raised his eyebrows slightly, and smiled happily.

A dashing young man, full of vigor and ambition, is just like the rising sun in the east.

Emperor Jing'an had a pair of phoenix eyes similar to Empress Dowager Cheng's. When he was angry, his eyes were fierce and piercing, but when he smiled, his eyebrows and eyes relaxed, as if the warm spring breeze had touched his eyebrows.

His appearance bears some resemblance to Cheng Yan, but he looks more like the late Emperor Taizong.

"Uncle, Sister Yizhen." Upon seeing the two approaching, Emperor Jing'an raised the bow in his hand and walked over.

"Greetings, Your Majesty." The two bowed in greeting.

"No need for formalities." Emperor Jing'an's eyes seemed to gleam as he approached and asked, "Why have you come to the palace today? I remember that the Empress Dowager granted my uncle a few days' leave so that he could rest at home for a few days."

"Come to the palace if you have something to do."

"Then my uncle has come at the perfect time. How about he teaches me archery?"

It was a small matter, so Cheng Yan naturally had no reason to refuse. He told Qin Yizhen to wait on the viewing platform, and then went up on the platform with Emperor Jing'an.

Qin Yizhen found a seat on the viewing platform and sat down. Soon, palace maids and eunuchs brought her tea and snacks. She looked at the two people on the competition platform with a gentle smile in her eyes.

The fact that her family is all well is the greatest blessing God has given her; everything else is secondary.

......

Not long after Qin Yizhen and Cheng Yan entered the palace, a member of the Wang family came to visit, wanting to see Wang Xianrong. Steward Zhou thought for a moment, asked Wang Xianrong for her opinion, and then invited the person over.

“It’s only been a day since we last met, but you look so haggard, that’s not good.”

A young girl in a crimson dress walked by, her movements graceful and swaying, her jade pendants tinkling.

Although he was only eleven or twelve years old, his appearance was already extraordinary, and his speech and actions showed no signs of immaturity.

"What are you doing here?" Wang Xianrong sat on the bed, casually lifting her eyelids, her calm demeanor tinged with impatience.

"I've come because I have something to say to my elder sister." Wang Yurong waved for the servants to leave, then sat down by the bed, gently waving a round fan embroidered with golden peonies in her hand. Her lips were slightly upturned, and her eyes were smiling.

"Are the princess and the marquis going to reconcile?"

"What does it have to do with you?"

"Sister, you jest. How could it be none of my business? This is a matter of great importance to the Wang family." Wang Yurong covered her lips with her fan and chuckled.

"Before I came, my grandmother and mother both asked me to tell my elder sister that she should get pregnant as soon as possible before the princess and the marquis reconcile and give birth to the eldest son of the Marquis of Pingxi."

Otherwise, the Pingxi Marquis's mansion would have no future for my sister, and would be of little use to the Wang family either..."
