Four people walked briskly on the palace road.
"Brother, hurry up. It's high time!"
"Why blame me? You're late, too."
"You took too long to change your clothes."
"The nannies have dressed me since my birth and you wouldn't help."
"Well, fine. Hurry up now. Huo Cheng is waiting at the gate of divine prowess."
The four people walking side by side were Prince Chen Huanan Xin, the Fourth Princess Huanan Jiyan, and two maids, Yaoer and Jin'er.
Confined in the Palace for so long, Huanan Jiyan could no longer bear it.
The Empress had left for Yonglu Temple on a one-day fast. Hence, the Princess was free in Kunning Palace until tomorrow. Huanan Jiyan had ordered the imperial bodyguard Huo Cheng to take her brother and her on a trip out of the Palace.
Dumb as he might look like, Prince Chen had waited early at the agreed meeting spot for the fun trip. However, his siste
When Gu Yunxi entered the Palace with Huanan Jiyan, the night watchman had just beaten the midnight drum.They did not run into too much trouble. Gu Yunxi was wearing the Eastern Depot fourth-ranked official uniform and she had the waist badge as well as the two maids, which allowed their entrance.However, Huanan Jiyan, the Fourth Princess born to the Empress, was completely drunk. She hugged Gu Yunxi and cried for Lu Zhu, which made the guards at the gate of divine prowess.To avoid unnecessary troubles, Jin'er spent a considerable amount of silver to shut their mouths.They first sent Prince Chen to Wutong Garden and then Gu Yunxi followed Jin'er and Yaoer and helped the princess back to Kunning Palace.On the way, the two maids couldn't stop chattering and complaining. It was fortunate that Empress Qian was not present today. Otherwise, she would give them both a good beating.The palace gate wa
In March, the prime of spring, the grass was lush and the mountains were green. The ice on the river began to melt and was glowing with waves.Days passed by quietly in the Palace. Emperor had yet broken his fast and so the officials didn’t need to attend the morning ritual. The concubines were at peace with each other, only to wait for the Spring Banquet when Emperor would grace them with his presence in Baohe Palace.At sunset in Yongning Palace, Gu Yunyao was feeling sick. Without an appetite for dinner, she sent someone for a bowl of cubilose porridge from the kitchen.The premium cubilose was a gift from Concubine Xu, who had received it from her family. She knew that Yunyao loved it and so she had it sent to her two days ago.Gu Yunyao was sitting by the square table, slightly bowing her head to gaze at her round belly. Rubbing it gently with one hand, she looked elegant and satisfied.By her side, Zhao An
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. These people stopped to watch for a while, or to eagerly discuss. It was the direction of the Palace. No one knew what happened again and Eunuch Superintendent who held the great power must go there by himself.People of the Eastern Depot dismounted outside the gate of divine prowess and Leng Qingtang only took Gu Yunxi and two guards into the Palace quickly. Just after receiving the letter from Zhao An, Leng Qingtang learned that the Imperial Noble Concubine took advantage of the time to make trouble when Emperor was in seclusion
"Your Grace, what did you do to Concubine Yu just now?"In the Main Hall, Leng Qingtang quietly stared at Wan Yuyao who was giggling and flirting. 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
Zhao An hurried back to Jingyang Palace. When he saw the palace maids standing under the corridor, he was shocked. He ran forward without wiping his head full of sweat, asking Song Qin in surprise."Why are you all here? Where's the master? It's getting dark! Why aren't you preparing for dinner? Did you meet the Commander-in-chief of the Eastern Depot when coming back?""You are back at last..."Song Qin looked so aggrieved with red eyes under the lantern. She tilted her head to the closed door and said,"Don't mention the Eastern Depot anymore. I just spoke for Madam Mu in front of the master and then she got so angry that she drove everyone out. She only asked for a bowl of cubilose porridge when coming back. Nobody was allowed to enter the room.""You ought to have known better!"Zhao An was furious. He kept pointing at Song Qin with his index finger and asked viciously."You followe
In Yongning Palace…All of a sudden, chaos broke out all over the yard, screaming, cursing, and bursts of laughter, which was extremely ear-piercing.Gu Yunxi turned her head and exchanged gazes with the two guards. The three of them strode into the yard at the same time.Gu Yunxi stopped under the dim light and looked intently, only to see a man running ahead with many eunuchs and maids chasing after him. The scene was chaotic.The person who ran first was extremely fast and he was very nimble to dodge. He held a cloth tiger in his hand, chuckling loudly."Come on! come on! Catch me! You can't catch me!""Hurry up! We need more people! You go over there! You come over!""Catch him quickly! Don't let him disturb Her Grace!"Wasn't that Prince Chen? It was really strange. We were all guarding outside just now, but why didn't we notice his slipping into Yongning Palace?
Gu Yunxi stood outside blankly, curled her lips when facing the door, and started crying in a low voice then.She was turned away twice in one day and she really didn't know what she had done wrong.She felt so sad, aggrieved, and worried about the physical condition of Master.At the moment, Leng Qingtang was lying on the bed, his body burning like countless ants crawling in it.He rolled again and again in the soft bedding, but the feelings of emptiness and excitement in his body were not alleviated at all.His head was filled with Gu Yunxi’s small face with different expressions, her smiling face, her anxious look, her depressed face, and her sobbing face...These were all great stimuli to him, which made his blood start burning badly.Leng Qingtang closed his eyes and bit his lower lip, trembling, and tried to continue to resist.He raised his arms and tried to gather h
Terra Nova's ninth year of the Daedalic Years, early spring.Kamakawa Yusui is shocked and annoyed when he receives news of a coup at the Imperial Palace and the imminent ascension of Prince Fuchi Yasutaka to the throne as the next Emperor.Since the Kunhuang Island and Huananhe lost a battle, Kamachi sailors suffered a heavy blow, Kamakawa was forced to take the remaining troops retreated to the south of Kunhuang Island, Tsuneoshima stationed.Unexpectedly, just when he was trying to avoid the previous shame and had been intensifying the study of the new combat program, the country had a great turnaround.Can't think too much, Kamakawa by water immediately point all 10,000 Ying army, lead five Anzai ship and a number of ships, with enough artillery Furlong machine fire speed back to Ying, swore to fight with and Shigeru cuts a high and low winners and losers.One night, as Kamakawa's fleet secretly approached Mizumura Harbor in Kyoto, a thick fog sudde
In the banquet hall of the palace, the fire and candles were bright, four dancing girls lined up, green silk buns, colorful makeup, silk sleeves fluttering and swaying, dancing in a slow and rhythmic dance.Two or three male musicians are not far from them, playing strings, flute, drums, each person's face is calm and solemn, but in the eyes of God duh, seems to have the essence of the aura of a hidden flash.The dinner was organized to celebrate the fifteenth birthday of Emperor Fuchi Masaharu, but due to the defeat of the Terra Nova army in Weihai, many of the entertainments were temporarily canceled, and only the traditional Yehime songs and dances were retained.Profound Ya Qing was the main character of tonight's banquet, at this time he was wearing brand new scarlet damask silk clothes kneeling above the chief belonging to him, looking quiet and enjoying the songs and dances.On the seats to his left were the former Emperor's side consort, Daiji, with h
Terra Nova, Kyoto.As night falls, in a short house in the civilian area, the blind man is anxiously waiting for his mother-in-law to return home from work.She hadn't been back for a day and a night, and that definitely hadn't happened in the past.Could it be that the Ninth Princess has encountered something on her end?Rustling footsteps stopped unexpectedly at the door.The blind man's sense of hearing is much more sensitive than normal people, his eyebrows slightly gathered, and without moving, he got up and lightly rubbed his steps to the wooden cabinet, and touched a sharp dagger from the top of the cabinet and quietly hid it in the sleeve of his coat.The door of the room opened, and by the sound of the footsteps coming in there should be two of them."You're Suigo Show's man, aren't you?"The one who asked the question in Terra Nova was a young man.The blind man turned his head sideways, carefully recognizing the source
A cold wind cut through the long, narrow corridor, and the lights flickered dimly.The man's ragged gasps continued to spill out of the closed wooden lattice barricade door, accompanied by the occasional few hushed cries of pain from the woman."Haru, come on, I'll accompany you to your room."Looking at Yuan Ya Qing's stagnant and godless clear face, Yun Shi's heart seized more than just pain as she tugged on one of his arms.The commotion in the room was in no way suitable for a teenager to be listening in.The teenager's eyes were lax as he took two steps with her, speaking quietly in Chinese: ."...Master, you have to trust me as well...it wasn't Mother and I's idea to march into Da Yi."Yun Shi suddenly became miserable inside, opened and closed his nose and said."I believed you, never had a doubt, and it was for that reason that I traveled across the river and across the sea to meet you in person in Terra Nova."The two co
"Yue Xilou, you traitor shall not die!"Qi and blood surged, and a strong hatred that had never been felt before invaded Yun Shi's consciousness.She jumped up with her eyes heavy with red and lunged at her enemy with all her might, reaching for his neck.Yue Xilou laughed scornfully and kicked her backwards with a flying leg.Yun Shi fell out onto the hard floor a few feet away, choking on blood and letting out a pained _groan_.Wamochi stretched his neck to look at it, grinning imploringly.Tsukishiro looks at the samurai on either side :)"Don't just stand there, take her down and keep her under good guard, she'll be of great use in the future.""Slow down ......"Yun Shi forced to endure the pain of bones about to break trembling climbed up, far away from looking at the abyss Ya Qing, the expression of desolate:"Your Majesty, I have something to say to you, please send the counselor."Empress Yuanya immediately s
The fact that the mute applicant, Yun, who was originally scrubbed out of the test, has been recognized by the Emperor as the Imperial Chef, shocks the entire Grand Cookhouse early the next morning.The cooks and handymen who had looked down on her earlier were now gathered in front of the stove in the cooking room, watching intently as she operated it herself.Even in the past days always rigid board a big white face of apricot leaf female master, this time all people before and after chasing after Yun Shi everywhere running, flattery, mouth like a river, all do their best to please. At sunrise, Yunshi was wearing a green coat and pants, put on a large apron to the stove to do the work.With white flour rolled out and crabmeat and shrimp mince and red fish roe in the filling, the meat buns are pinched out with absolutely thirty-three folds.Chicken breast, corn and green beans are sauteed in oil, thickened with soy sauce and pan-fried wine, and wrapped in so
He is, after all, the Emperor!Following the direction of Master Apricot Leaf's kneeling, Yun Shi looked at the teenager, his eyes filled with astonishment.The standing tasseled crown and the yellow coat are indeed the symbols of the imperial nobility of Terra Nova.But, this young man, he is actually the Emperor."Mute, why don't you kneel down!"The apricot leaf matron raised her eyes to the unresponsive Gu Yunshi and chided."Eh, forget it, forget it ...... Master Chief, you get up too."Meeting Yun Shi's eyes, the teenager's face flushed red and blushed as he explained: ."Granny, I don't mean to deceive you ...... I, I didn't eat well in the evening meal, and I was really hungry just now."Yun Shi's complexion returned to normal, pursed her lips and waved her hand, indicating that she didn't mind.Heh, how could she mind?She was begging for it!The hostess rises obsequiously and comes up to nod at the tee
The night fell slowly, blotting out the last rays of red light in the sky.The entire Western Garden was silent.Cloudseeker stood in the tiny compound under the endless sky, raising his head to look up at the dark inky colors of the night sky.In the field of vision, that heavy darkness seems to carry some kind of adsorption magic, only teaching people to look at a glance, want to look through.She failed the test to become a chef and lost her chance to enter the palace and meet the Emperor.Such a result directly disrupted all her latter plans.After losing her temper for a while, she thought of Hua Nanhe, who is still fighting in the battlefield, Yingyu, who is trapped in the palace of Dayi, and brother Mu Xiu, who is waiting for them to return home.Yun Shi's eyes burned as she quickly regained her fighting spirit.Now is not the time to be discouraged, since one way does not work, then find another way.The hour was already
Terra Nova, outside the Abyssinian Palace, West Court.The large cooking room was busy with players in white shirts and blue pants around wooden cases and stoves.In five days, Emperor Fuchiya's fifteenth birthday will be celebrated, and not only will there be a large-scale celebration dinner at the palace, but an all-day parade and festival will be organized throughout Kyoto."Faster, faster, the hour for the king to pass the meal is almost here, and later on your handmade delicacies will be the basis for whether or not you can stay as a loose cook."The woman in charge, Apricot Leaf, is in her thirties, with a purple shirt and pants, wandering around every corner of the cooking room with a stern look, urging the contestants with her mouth, and repeatedly scrutinizing their cooking techniques with her cold and warm gaze.The twenty casual chef applicants came from Terra Nova folk, both men and women, and most of their referrals were cooks and assistant
