She curiously opened the wood box. It was full of gold and silver, on the top of which was a stack of letters of credit.
Qinger's heart seemed to miss a beat as her eyes widened. She shut the box and pushed it back.
"My lady, I can't take this!"
Gu Yunxi smiled and pushed it to Qinger again.
"You and I have gone through so many things together and I've always seen you as my family. Marriage is a big deal for a woman, so her family should give her gifts. But you know, we've been roaming for years and I have disguised as a man. Thus, I don’t have much use of jewelry. I hope you don't think these things tacky..."
Heartbroken, Qinger quickly shook her head and looked at the box with tears,
"I do not mean that. You should think more about yourself and keep these savings."
"You don't have to worry for me. I'll tell you a sec

In the Eastern Depot, Gu Yunxi was chatting with Wu Yong in the wing-room when she heard Master's summon.Wu Yong had traveled across Da Yi and many other foreign countries over the years while serving the Wans. Thus, he was quite knowledgeable and experienced.After staying in the Eastern Depot, he would shamelessly beg Gu Yunxi to cook the dishes he wanted every day. Having dined and wined to satiety, he would force Yunxi and the guards to listen to the folk customs and anecdotes of different countries. During the whole time, he would dance and act, more professional than the storytellers in teahouses.Seeing faces of the audience who were surprised, nervous, and sometimes even envious, he would become more impassioned as a strong sense of accomplishment flooded through him.Gu Yunxi was disgusted and contemptuous of Wu Yong at first. But gradually she became attracted by his stories. During the last days, she even admired

It was in Yongning Palace.In the center of the main hall sat the Imperial Noble Concubine Wan Yuyao, the master of Yongning Palace. On both sides, there were more than a dozen maids and servants, all of who were indifferent.Today, Wan Yuyao wore a long dress with begonia color and flowing cloud collar, and an amber-sleeved over-dress with flowers. The jewelry on her head was magnificent. A three-headed phoenix dotted emerald fringe was swayed into the bun and the stream was shining and eye-catching.Just now, that shocking cry just came from the mouth of this luxurious and gorgeous woman.Slowly turning her head, Gu Yunyao looked at the woman with bright makeup directly.Instantly flashing like flint, two pairs of bright and cold eyes started extremely fierce confrontation in silence.The atmosphere became strange and weirdly cold again, as terrifying as an underworld, running through the limbs an

In the capital…At the long street, men shouting and horses neighing. A group of people galloped past the official road, pedestrians on the sides of the road dodging in shock.Many people could see it clearly at the moment when the horse patrol team had just passed by. Crimson and purple clothes were embroidered with a curl of python. It was clear that the leader of the Eastern Depot had just gone into action.

His deep eyes were luster and cold and his plain white face was dark,"Don't forget her current status. It won't benefit you and the Wans at all by hurting her!"Wan Yuyao's exquisite face showed no fear. Her upper body leaned completely against the man's broad chest. She squinted as her nose moved greedily and smelled of the cold fragrance. Her eyes were also gleaming and fascinating,"Master's words are really terrifying me. Naturally, I clearly know that she used to be an orphan without the support of her family. It was you, the Eastern Depot, that helped her enter the Palace. She and the Min family recognized each other and right now, she is pregnant with His Majesty's son. She is indeed different now."Leng Qingtang stepped back and stayed away from Wan Yuyao a l
