Chapter 30

Matters of the heart are difficult to understand


The following day


After the snow stopped falling the sky was exceptionally clear. An Qing Ran took a deep breath of the vivifying cold air.


Ren Dong hurried to put a sable fur coat on her shoulder, but An Qingran stopped her.


"I am not cold, it feels so good!" she said smiling.


Measuring once more the place she lived in her childhood. It seemed she never earnestly looked at the place. This general's Fu wasn't that big or at least not as big as it was in her memories.


The house was gifted to her father by the emperor because he made a great contribution; bravely fighting and protecting the country, helping to provide stability in Dongze country.


Her father was a good martial artist. He could never imagine that his own daughter would become Empress but she refused! Of course, he had more than one good daughter.


Thinking about these matters she sighed. After she met Yan Ran the night before, she still couldn’t understand how she was able to control herself.


Not only that .. she smiled and promised to help!


An Qing Ran walked towards East Warm Pavillion, as for her pleading for her sister? A brilliant smile bloomed on her face.


Hong Momo was standing at the courtyard gate, giving instructions to the maids sweeping the snow. When she saw Qing Ran coming in, she hurriedly smiled and greeted her:


"Eldest miss, came to see Furen so early?"


An Qing Ran pointed to her mother's room without speaking. Hong Momo informed her. "Furen woke up early, the general went to the palace to attend court. The young miss can go in."


When An Qing Ran pushed the door, she could smell a familiar lily scent.


"Yes?"


A gentle voice called from inside.


Stepping into the room Qing Ran, saw her mother sitting in front of her mirror, putting down the powder container she had in her hand seemingly embarrassed.


An Qing Ran smiled and picked up the jasmine face powder.


"This colour really matches mother's face. With some Qizhenzhai rouge and jewellery, mother will look like a young girl."


Lian JinYu frowned.


"You child! You are little too bright, don't you know?".


Saying this she laughed and looked at the young girl lovingly.


An Qin Ran smiled and looked at her mother simple look shaking her head.


"Mother, you should take care of yourself a little bit more. How come you only have these few things? Also, this lily fragrance is too rare. How about a change? This daughter remembers that father likes osmanthus. Maybe you could send Hong Mama to buy it later, what do you think?"


When An Qing Ran came in and saw the big set of keys on the table, she knew that her father had decided to give her mother the managing authority in the Fu.


However, it didn't look like her mother had any intention to accept it, as the keys were sitting on the table. Still, looking at her mother's face she could see that the ice in her heart melted a little.


Lian JinYu answered her daughter.


"All of these are so old! What else should mother buy?"


Looking at her mother's old fashion look, Qing Ran smiled.


"Mother! You should listen to your daughter’s advice! I will talk with Hong Momo. Mother should also have a few new sets of clothes made. Some with bright colours. You should also buy a set of jewellery. It would be best if they are from Qizhenzhai! This store is really famous! They work well and they have the newest styles. With that, it will be enough…".


"How do you know all this?" Lian JinYu asked surprised. She turned a smile twinkling in her eyes, shaking her head to tease the little girl.


"My daughter has grown up! Are you preparing for your dowry?"


An Qing Ran was stunned. Dowry? Who was she going to marry? Kang Wang?
