Chapter 69 End with a smile

At night, Duguzi Yan's wing room of the Marquis of Wending.

"Knock..." A knock came from outside the door, "Criminal, Prince..." Du Chuan's voice was a little anxious.

Dugu Ziyan, who woke up from the sound on the bed, frowned instantly. Du Chuan had never looked for him at this time. He stood up and put on his coat, and went forward to open the door: "Du Chuan, what's the matter?"

"Criminal, our people come to report, Ji Haotian is gone!" Du Chuan bowed and reported.

"When will it happen?" Dugu Ziyan frowned after hearing this.

"I found it half an hour ago. We searched around us for a while, but we didn't find whereabouts, so we hurried back to the house to report." Du Chuan replied again.

"Alas..." Dugu Ziyan sighed slightly.

"Criminal, what did the eldest lady ask Ji Haotian to do at this time?" Du Chuan said in confusion.

"What else can it be? In the end, it's just for the queen." Dugu Ziyan sneered.

Then he said slowly: "Yan'er has been frugal since she was a child and was spoiled. Because her mother died early, her father spoiled her and could not bear to punish her. Over the years, Yan'er has been doing everything well, but the only thing that makes her mind is Xiao Jinxi." At this moment, Dugu Ziyan looked heartbroken and was attacked by a sense of powerlessness.

"Criminal." Du Chuan shouted unbearably.

After a moment, Du Chuanfang asked softly: "Criminal, what else can we do?"

"If Yan'er's temperament is unwilling to say it, I can't ask anything if I go and ask now." Dugu Ziyan said slowly.

"Now, it's not like being in the mansion. You can talk to her slowly about everything in the mansion. There is always a way to ask slowly."

"Now, she is in the deep palace. If she really wants to do something, we will ask now. Not only will we not be able to ask anything, but it will also attract the attention of the emperor."

"To this day, if Emperor Mingxi really wanted to make Yan'er the queen, he would not delay it until now. Yan'er must have understood it."

"Now that she came here, it must be for the sake of this throne. This approach must be contrary to Emperor Mingxi. If we enter the palace now, we will definitely harm Yan'er."

"Criminal, then we won't care for the time being?" Du Chuan asked.

After a moment, Dugu Ziyan said again: "Ji Haotian has been plotting for so long, and it is difficult for you to track it down now."

"Forget it, you go down first, let me think about it."

Du Chuan bowed and quietly retreated.

Dugu Ziyan was left alone in the room. After a long time, Dugu Ziyan stood up and walked to the cabinet on one side, opened it, and took out a wooden box from it.

Dugu Ziyan slowly opened the wooden box and saw a pink butterfly embroidered dress lying in the wooden box. He reached out and took out the dress and gently stroked it... Look at the style of the dress like a dance dress, the color of the material has slightly deteriorated. If you look closely, the dance dress is cut so messy...

Dugu Ziyan gently stroked the dress, like a treasure in the world...

After a long time, Dugu Ziwen murmured: "Yan'er, do you know that this was stitched out by my mother when she was seriously ill..... Did you ever feel sorry for you when you cut it to pieces that year?"

At this moment, Dugu Ziyan looked at Wu Shang, but his eyes seemed to be looking at the distant time...

In the ninth year of Zongyuan, his mother's health was getting worse and worse. At that time, Yan'er had no idea. His mother always held a sick body in front of Yan'er, and couldn't bear to let Yan'er know. Because of this, Yan'er was also lively and active at that time, and she prefers dancing in the yard like a butterfly...

That year, my mother always sewed this dance dress when she was energetic. She said she hoped that her geese could wear this dance dress and dance happily.

Seeing that my mother was ill, I always advised her to have many dance clothes outside the embroidery workshop, so I just bought some for Yan'er, so I should not work so hard.

But her mother said that she didn't have much time left, so she probably couldn't see Yan'er wearing a wedding dress and getting married beautifully. She didn't know what size Yan'er's wedding dress was, so she could only make a dance dress for her now, so she could just watch her dance happily......

It took my mother half a year to sew the dance dress. In the tenth year of Zongyuan, Empress Ren'an was happy to give birth to twins, and a grand celebration was held in the palace. All the young sons and daughters of the royal relatives and princes prepared a performance show to congratulate Empress Ren'an on her happy love of the phoenix marrow...

For this reason, Yan'er also prepared a dance carefully. Although her mother was not in good health, she would go to watch Yan'er practice dancing every day.

When Yan'er put on the dance dress carefully sewn by her mother and practiced for the last time in the mansion, her mother looked at the dancing butterfly, and her eyes were filled with joy...

The next day, the palace celebration began. My mother was finally unable to enter the palace because of her physical discomfort. It was her and her father who brought Yan'er into the palace. Yan'er was really happy that day. She wore this butterfly embroidered dance dress, and her face was filled with confidence and a smile like a sunny person...

But at the banquet that day, in the end, Xiao Jinxi, the eldest daughter of the Marquis of Wu'an, won the first place with a sword dance!

"Miss Dugu's dance is so beautiful!"

"It's really beautiful, but it's still the sharp and beautiful Miss Xiao's sword dance!"

"Indeed! Miss Xiao is still amazing! At a young age, the sword dance is majestic and truly deserves to be the eldest daughter of the Marquis of Wu'an!" ·

·····

The talk at the banquet that day was vivid in my mind, and every sentence was stabbing Yan'er. No matter how much he comforted him, Yan'er didn't say a word...

I thought it was a child who was making trouble and would be fine in the future, but when he returned home that day, Yan'er went back to the room, but he took the scissors in his own hands to cut the dance clothes, and then cried in the room. Whether it was his father or himself, it was useless.

My mother's condition was repeated that day, and in the end, my father and I could only see my mother first. Looking at this dance dress that was cut and thrown on the ground, I felt a lot of helpless. It took my mother half a year to sew it up one stitch at a time...

After crying, Yan'er fell asleep too tired. When she woke up the next day, although she no longer mentioned the banquet and danced, she never found the dance clothes again...

After that, Yan'er didn't dance in the mansion for a long time. Knowing that she was unhappy, she often took her out to play, hoping that she would forget those unhappy ones.

Half a year later, my mother's condition worsened. Before her death, she told herself repeatedly that as the elder brother, she should protect her sister...

That day, Yan'er realized that her mother was seriously ill and was about to leave her. That day, Yan'er danced again and danced beautifully for her mother. Her mother watched the dance and ended with a smile...
