The Female Supporting Role Shows Out

Chapter 104: Embroiderer (26)

At the first sight of Empress Du, Lin Dan was stunned. She finally understood who where the good looks of Du Rusong and Du Ruyan came from. Empress Du was tall and thin because of her cultivation. Her beautiful face was both heroic and charming. Her beautiful eyes were full of mist, making her melancholy and quiet.

In this dim and cramped cottage, she was the only light, and also the only color. However, unfortunately, there were a few crisscross scars on the forehead of Empress Du, which instantly destroyed her exceedingly beautiful appearance.

Lin Dan stared at the scars, which made Du Ruyan embarrassed. She quietly tugged at Lin Dan's sleeve and begged her not to poke her aunt's sore spot. What a perfect woman her aunt was before, but now she was like this. How could she bear it?

However, Empress Du didn't show any complaint. Instead, she poured a cup of hot tea for Lin Dan and looked at her with a smile for a long time. She had already received the news that her nephew was shot in the chest, but she pretended not to know. Even if she knew, what could she do? She couldn't leave the Taoist temple, nor could she give them any help. She could only stand aside and watch helplessly.

It was Miss Lin who saved her nephew in danger and took good care of him to make him recover as before. For the sake of saving her life, Empress Du not only didn't dislike her but also indulged her infinitely. She saved her nephew and taught her niece well. Lin Dan had done what she wanted to do but couldn't do. She couldn't be more grateful to her, so how could she be dissatisfied?

"This is the pea cake I made myself. Miss Lin, have a taste," said Empress Du softly.

"Thank you, aunt Du." Lin Dan came to herself. She grabbed a piece of pea cake and looked at the scar on Empress Du's forehead.

Empress Du was amused by her words. She touched her forehead and explained, "When we hit the pillar, there were some patterns carved on it. Later, when I was treated carelessly, it turned out to be like this."

"Oh, I see!" Lin Dan suddenly realized. "No wonder these scars are so unique."

Empress Du couldn't help laughing, while Du Ruyan covered her face and groaned. What's wrong with Lin Dan today? If she doesn't know how to flatter Empress Du, then don't flatter her. Why make her embarrassed? Didn't she know that these scars were the pain that her aunt would never want to mention?

Empress Du rubbed her head and said slowly, "Yan, don't feel sorry for me. These scars are nothing to me now. Whether he comes or not, I feel as calm as water. In my eyes, you and Rusong are the most important."

Empress Duhad been in charge of the royal family for more than ten years and helped the young emperor to hold the throne. The ups and downs she had experienced were unimaginable to ordinary people. She might be defeated, but she would never fall. If others couldn't, she could mention it; If others couldn't let it go, she could.

Du Ruyan immediately raised her head and called her aunt with red eyes.

However, at this moment, Lin Dan said with a malicious smile, "Aunt Du is elegant. You can't wear too bright and luxurious clothes. As for those Taoist robes, they are always in the same style and color. It's better not to make one."

Du Ruyan couldn't stand it anymore and said in an aggrieved tone, "Dan, did you take the wrong medicine today and say all these annoying words!"

Before she could say anything, Empress Du waved her hand and smiled, "It doesn't matter. Miss Lin is telling the truth. I didn't want to make any new clothes." she made a new dress and dressed up. Instead of appearing nobler in front of that person, she showed timidity and lowered her head, as if to please him. The emperor had already died in her heart, and it was enough for her to only wear this black robe to bury their past.

Du Ruyan's eyes became redder and she turned around to wipe her tears.

Lin Dan looked at her helplessly, put down the teacup, and said seriously, "I don't need to embroider the clothes. But I can embroider the scars on your forehead."

Empress Du was stunned for a while and asked hesitantly, "What do you mean, Miss Lin?"

"People always say that the scars on your forehead are ugly, but in my eyes, they are very unique. As long as I polish them a little, they will be beautiful embroidery. Aunt Du, if you trust me, let me have a try. I promise that after you finish, you will be more beautiful than before!"

Lin Dan had no past or future. The only thing she could grasp was the present. Therefore, her imagination was a little poor. She couldn't paint a picture without any reason, but at the same time, she was very good at discovering the beauty around her. In the eyes of others, it was incomplete, and in her eyes, it could have some highlights more or less. If she casually sprinkled some ink on the white paper, she would be able to create all sorts of beautiful things through these things that were similar to stains.

The so-called cherishing the present and living in the present was nothing to others, but it was completely carried out by her.

"How?" the stunned expression on Empress Du's face gradually faded and became interested and expectation.

"How about turning these scars into beautiful flowers? Let bygones be bygones and live a more beautiful life. What do you think?" as she spoke, she copied the scars of Empress Du on the paper, and then stained the tip of the pen with some red sand, outlining the crisscross lines into manjusakaRed Spider Lily one by one. It was like a flame, as red as blood, and was very beautiful.

Staring at the flowers on the paper, Du Ruoyan was speechless for a long time.

Empress Du looked straight at her and then smiled slowly. She felt that her heart, which was like a pool of stagnant water, was stirred up by this magical little girl. It turned out that scars could bloom with flowers, and heartbreak could also be forged strong, just like a Phoenix Nirvana and rebirth in the fire.

"Okay," said the Empress Du word by word. "Thank you, Miss Lin." Before she got married, she had been called the most beautiful woman in the great Zhou. Now she would like to see what she would look like if she was more beautiful than she was before.

Lin Dan rubbed her hands and was a little excited. Since she learned embroidery, she always paid special attention to beautiful things. At the first sight of Empress Du, she was enchanted by the orderly scars between her eyebrows. Others said that [Empress Du had been disfigured, but she believed that with only a little embellishment, Empress Du could be more beautiful! And this beauty was born in her hands. Just thinking about it, she was a little tempted.

She didn't notice that she was changing from an embroiderer who was supporting her family to an artist.

After preparing the disinfected silver needle and dye, Lin Dan said solemnly, "Aunt Du, I'm going to start. It may hurt a little. Please bear with it."

Empress Du, who was lying on the bed with her eyes closed, smiled indifferently. "It doesn't matter. I'm not afraid of pain." she had endured the pain of digging her heart, and what else could she not bear?

In order not to disturb Lin Dan, Du Ruyan had already been driven out.

Empress Du needed tailor-made clothes, so Du Rusong couldn't wait in the room. He sent his sister and loved one to the Taoist temple and went to the pavilion on the back mountain to enjoy the view. When the two met in the pavilion, they looked worried.

"Are Dan going to tattoo my aunt?" Du Rusong couldn't believe his ears. He had no idea that his sweetheart had such skills.

"Yes, make the scars on your forehead into a manjusaka." said Du Ruyan, covering her chest, as if myocardial infarction was happening, "Brother, you always say that she is a little bit tough. I don't think so. Today I finally found it out. How dare she inject an injection into my aunt? My aunt's skin is not embroidered cloth, and if it is broken, she can remove the stitches again. If she doesn't do it well, it will make my aunt's face even worse. Which one should I protect?"

However, Du Rusong chuckled and said, "If aunt dares to agree, she is ready to bear all the consequences. If yDan dares to speak, she is well prepared and confident. Don't worry about them."

"Brother, how can you still smile? You are too confident in her, aren't you?" said Ruyan nervously.

"I don't know why, but I just inexplicably believe her." Du Rusong looked at the quiet room with indescribable tenderness in his eyes.

Ruyan bent over the table and whined for a while before she calmed down. She had no way to deal with these people. They were all so independent and bold!

After about an hour, the door of the quiet room finally opened. With no expression on her face, Lin Dan walked out slowly, as if she had just finished an ordinary embroidery. Du Rusong and Du Ruyan immediately walked over and looked at her with burning eyes.

"Aunt Du is inside. You can go in and have a look. The wound is bleeding. Wash it with warm water and dry it. Don't eat spicy food. It will be fine in two or three days."

Ruyan ran into the inner room in a hurry. She didn't go back these days and stayed in the Taoist temple to take care of her aunt.

Du Rusong stood beside her and said softly, "thank you, Dan."

"I'm fine. You can go in and see Aunt Du," said Lin Dan uneasily, touching her earlobe

"I'll go in after my aunt has dressed up." Du Rusong stood at the door for a while. When he heard his aunt calling someone inside, he went in and was stunned as soon as he walked around the screen. His eyes were full of disbelief.

Holding a bronze mirror, Empress Du asked in a relaxed and happy voice, "What's wrong? Can't you recognize your aunt?"

"Brother must be frightened! I almost screamed when I first came in. Oh, God, who is this peerless beauty? Is she the enchantress transformed from manjusaka?" Du Ruoyan put her arms around Empress Du's neck and acted coquettishly, her eyes full of amazement.

Empress Du pinched her nose dotingly, looked at the bronze mirror, and whispered, "Manjusaka is also called the equinox flower, only blooming on the netherworld road. The previous Empress Du is dead, and now I am the evil flower from hell."

After her face was destroyed, even if she wanted to revenge, she had no right to go back. But now the situation was different. If she used it properly, this face would be her most advantageous weapon. She and her two children would suffer a lot one day, and she would have to pay back a hundred times or a thousand times!

Seeing the fire burning in his aunt's eyes, Du Rusong felt a little uneasy. He turned to look at Lin Dan, who was washing her hands carefully with a calm expression, and then smiled slowly. Well, no matter there were swords, halberds, or flowers in front of him, he had to try for this person.
