Commandery Princess Jingle stood under the porch. The water dripped from the eaves, gradually smashing the damp soil into small pits of different shades. She watching this scene, feeling bored.
For the first time, she felt that the night in the deep Palace was so empty and long.
The wind was blowing, and the palace lanterns swayed.
The girl raised her head slowly, staring at the only light in the darkness.
Her heart seemed to be penetrated by a sharp blade. When she was savoring the clear and piercing pain, she suddenly thought of something.
Jingle quickly ran back to the bedroom, rummaged through the boxes, and finally found the dragonfly lotus lantern from the messy pile of items.
Fortunately, the lantern was not damaged. Jingle held it and looked around, feeling relieved.
She stared at it steadily and then remembered that person.
Her fingertips stroked the lamp silk, and
It was dawn when the sunshine spread all over the sky and the ground, shining into the window.Huanan Xin was awakened by Liang Zhen's high-pitched voice, "Your Majesty, it’s time to get up."The light purple bed curtain was made of beautifully colored threads with gorgeous patterns, and the outline emphasized by the gold threads was sparkling and vivid."Well, the bed and the bed curtain looked..." Huanan Xin thought to himself.Huanan Xin turned his head and saw a young woman sitting quietly at the head of the bed. She was dressed in a white nightdress with the pattern of flowers with her long black hair down."Yunxi? Last night we..." He was gentle and surprised.Although the memory of being drunk last night was vague, he was not drunk enough not to remember what he had done.The young woman turned around when she heard the sound. Without make-up, her face was beautiful, and her eyes
At her master's order, Xiuyu took the rest of the imperial wine and went out for a while before she came back with Lord Lei.Xiuyu's pretty face was filled with anger, and she said angrily, "Your Grace, you are really prophetic. I left Jingyang Palace with the jug, and it was knocked over by a palace maid running towards me just at Peony Garden, and the jug was broken into pieces. Look at me. My clothes are completely wet with the wine smell."Gu Yunxi turned to Noble Concubine Hui with a faint smile and then looked at Xiuyu again, "Can you recognize that maid?"Xiuyu pouted. Lord Lei took a step forward and lowered his hands, "Your Grace, I was behind Xiuyu at the time, and I recognized the maid. She’s Zhiqiao from Jieyu Zhao's palace."Noble Concubine Hui suddenly took a step backwards. She was surprised when she heard it and said impatiently, "Well. I see. It’s Jieyu Zhao!"Gu Yunxi chuckled and shook her hea
The night was dark, and pairs of sharp eyes hid in the streets and alleys of Jing City of Da Yi, alert to the surrounding movements like falcons.They were the secret guards of the spy agency the Eastern Depot and the Court of Patrol of North Town. They were ordered by the Emperor to patrol the streets on the eve of the entry of the Ying State’s envoy from the East Island day and night. It was their duty to clean up the rebels who wanted to take this opportunity to harm the court.That night, among these hunderdors and guards from the Eastern Depot, Imperial Guards from the Court of Patrol of North Town as well as eunuchs from the Imperial Ceremony Office, more than 200 people all seemed to vanish on the same night, but their bodies weren’t found.What was even more incredible was that on the very night, a mysterious waterwheel team of 100 people went to the eastern suburbs instead of going to the western suburbs to fetch water.
"Hey, what are you talking about?" Outside the Ritual Minister’s Mansion, Nanny Li of Ningyun Hall did not have any fear in the face of the beautiful yet vicious young woman.Holding her chest out, she shook her handkerchief at the young woman aggressively and sneered, "Well, you are his wife, right?"The young woman brushed her handkerchief off and looked disgusted, "Take it away. It smells disgusting. I’m telling you I am the dignified Mrs. Shi. I told the landlord to take back the b*tch’s house, and I cut off her monthly allowance. Doesn't she know who she is? She got the b*st*rd from nowhere, and is trying to blackmail our family!"Her words were so harsh that the woman named Jinghong was full of shame and anger, and she burst into tears while holding the child. Several girls in Ningyun Hall were mad and refuted."Watch your tongue!""The child born by Jinghong is Lord Shi's.""We can all testif
In the middle of the day, the square was dazzled by the sun, which was very annoying.Huanan Xin wore a heavy golden crown on his head and was covered in layers of clothes.Standing in the square for a long time, he couldn't help sweating and feeling uncomfortable.He raised his head in annoyance, squinted his eyes to look at the clear sky with the sun hanging high, then swung his dragon sleeves, and turned around to enter the side hall of the Chengtai Hall.The Eunuch Superintendent followed.Huanan Xin sat on the couch, took off the golden crown, tore the sloping lapel in a fit of anger, and ordered."I'm thirsty. Go and bring me a cup of tea. By the way, call Yunxi in and let her rest for a while."Huanan Xin knew clearly that at the speed of the honor guards, it would take four hours to travel from the Palace to Luyuan Garden.According to the convention, when the envoy
The scorching sun was scorching hot, making people’s mouths dry.It was almost noon when the newly appointed Ritual Minister, Wang Can, set off from the Palace with the honor guards and rushed all the way to Luyuan Garden.The road from Meridian Gate to Luyuan Garden had long been evacuated by the Honour Guards in advance.Due to the delay, the envoy team of Ying State failed to leave on time, so there was still no one on the street at this moment.Both sides of the long street were still guarded by the Honour Guards of Da Yi, and there was not a single civilian to be seen.When the honor guards arrived, it was extremely noisy in front of the official post.The formation of the envoys was messy, and the warriors in Ying uniforms surrounded the Honour Guards of Da Yi who were guarding the streets and made a lot of noise. They kept making provocative actions.The army of Da Yi was strictl
It was at Luyuan Garden, the official post in Jing City.The leopard licked the blood on its mouth and arched its back, fluffing up. The spots on its body were like copper coins.The leopard's eyes were like green jadeites. The leopard looked around and made a terrible roar.Then the hounds which ran amuck were subdued and stopped their attacks with a groan. They ran back to the envoys."Are you okay, Wang Can?" asked Huanan He.In the sudden silence, a delicate voice came slowly. Wang Can who was stunned suddenly realized what happened because of the voice.Beside Wang Can came the sound of bells and hoofs.Wang Can looked to his side and saw a beautiful white horse.The man on the white horse's back was extremely handsome in a dark red robe. His silvery hair was held high on the head with a purple golden crown. His bearing was awesome.The sun shone on him as
It was in the afternoon when the envoys were led into the Palace. They were General Yuancang, Mrs. Yuancang, ten servants, and ten warriors.The Palace was full of palaces and pavilions.The palace roads were wide, and the honor guards were spectacular. All kinds of silks, jades, and swords shone.The magnificence of the Palace overwhelmed the envoys.There was no need to welcome these people from Ying State with such magnificent things.But the envoys aimed for Kunhuang Island, and they were arrogant and aggressive naturally. Huanan Xin did not want others to blame the Royal Family for not being generous.The courtiers and concubines of Da Yi were patient and gentle, and they were used to being submissive. Even though starving for a long time, they also stood well and did not dare to complain about anything.Then came the sound of gun salute and beautiful music.Seeing tha
