Chapter 232 Arrival in Chang'an
It was the first time for Sheng Weiqiao's party, including Xu Baomo, to visit Chang'an.
However, the fabulous sight of willows at the dock, which had been exalted by many poets in history, was diminished by the cover of winter snow.
New Year's Eve was around the corner. It appeared even starker in the absence of pedestrians. As they watched, they felt more or less disappointed, though they didn't speak it out.
They found nothing stunning until their carriages approached the circumvallation and a magnificent cityscape came in sight as if filling the space between the earth and sky.
The spectacle offered by the impressive towers and defensive walls of this city which had been established as the capital ever since the last dynasty was incomparable to that of the cities they had seen in their life before.

What she was unaware of was that ever since Xu Zijing and his wife received the letter from Xu Baomo, they were concerned about the whole matter.When he went to fetch them at the port, he intended to ask him about it over a cup of tea inside the towered ship.Considering the crowd were all younger generations, and even the oldest Xu Baomo was only 19 years old. Madam Nan said, "When these kids were in Bishui County, they already knew the identify of Zhao Taozhuang and Meng Guihuan. I'm afraid they were already very worried along the way! If we were to ask them about it upon our arrival, they would assume that this is a serious matter so that we come all the way to fetch them despite our seniority. I don't want to scare them like that, girls in particular!"Xu Zijing was afraid to defy his wife's order and also thought she got a point there. That was why he did not say anything about this subject. When they arrived at Marquis Mansion, they paid

She won the trust of my grandparents, and now she is being sweet and kind. My parents will definitely not suspect a thing about her! In this case, when all four of them agreed on this marriage, there is nothing I can do to stop it..."When he thought of that, he looked at Xu Zijing. He had not seen his father for a long time, and this reunion made him realize how powerful and strong his father was with his burly body and big shoulders! He climbed all the way to the title of Marquis from a low-ran

Also, it was Zhao Taozhuang that lost the quarrel on the Chrysanthemum Contest.However, Zhao Yao, the biological father of Zhao Taozhuang, was the chief examiner of the imperial examination. They must do something to show their regrets.Moreover, since Xu Zijing mentioned that he worried that Zhao Qiu might cheat in the Spring Exam, Zhao Qiu was not a selfless and honest person.

After all, she was young. She was so tired the night before that she almost fell asleep in the tub, but when she got up the next morning after having a good sleep, she was full of energy again.Because she was a guest in Marquis Mansion, Sheng Weiqiao got up half an hour early. When she was dressing up, she urged people to go to Jiaohuang Building and Qiezi Building to have a look at Sheng Weiwu and Gongsun Yingjiang, lest they woke up late and behaved impolitely in front of the people of Xu Family.Fortunately, the servants around the two also reminded them. When the maids dispatched by Sheng Weiqiao arrived at their places, they had already wakened up and were also primping.After a long while, the three of them finally dressed up and hurriedly came together before taking a closer look at the residence, and went to the back hall to greet Madam Nan.They didn’t expect that when they arrived, they found that Xu Caikui and Xu Caifu

"Yesterday, Ningwei Marquise sent someone to hand over a post, saying that the girls who had a dispute with you in the Danmo Building were the descendants of her father-in-law in the army. She has been living with her family in the county. This time, in order to accompany her brother to have the exam, she came to the imperial capital."The Senior Master of Zhao Family had passed away, and now the oldest one was Old Madam Qin. Old Madam was more than sixty years old. Her black hair had already become gray, but her eyes were piercing. And there was a kind of noble aura inside her, which made people dare not to look down upon her just because she was an old woman.She hadn't dealt with specific matters for a long time, but her position in Zhao Family was still significant.Looking at her granddaughter underneath, she said slowly, “When the boat passed Bishui County, that girl didn’t know your identity and quarreled with you. She just arrived yeste
Deceive me, Marry me Chapter 238 The Battle between Former Crown Princes
At that time, the former emperor was deeply fond of Noble Consort Rou, so he wanted her son, Guangling King, to be the crown prince. However, Guangling King was nine years younger than the emperor now, and their father was not in good condition. The officials didn't want a young emperor for the good of the country, so all of them, especially Huan Guanlan, didn't want Guangling King to be the crown prince. The emperor then had to give up handing over his power to his favorite son after several failures.However, the emperor now was not his father's first choice given the situation above. Instead, his younger brother, Gaomi King, was the first choice then, who was only two years younger than him. Even though Gaomi King's mother didn't have a powerful family background, she was one of the nine beloved imperial concubines, and a close friend with Noble Consort Rou, while the Empress Dowager only got her title after she gave birth to her son.Gaomi King was hand
Deceive me, Marry me Chapter 239 Bury the Hatchet
Although Zhao Taozhuang was unwilling to apologize, with the words of her grandmother, when Madam Nan brought Sheng Weiqiao and other people here the next day, she still stood up and curtsied after everyone was seated, "Sister, I have to apologize to you. I was so mad at Meng Guihuan at that time. Therefore, when this young sister said something in the middle of our conversation, I vented my anger on you and ruined your day of travel. I'm deeply sorry. When I calmed down and wanted to apologize, you had left Bishui County. But I had no idea when would you arrive at Chang'an. So, I intended to have someone to ask the Ningwei Marquis Family in these days so that I can apologize when you have come here today! I feel embarrassing!"Sheng Weiqiao was worried that Zhao Taozhuang would be restless about it like what she did in Danmo Building when she came here.Seeing her gesture, Sheng Weiqiao would not say something like "You provoked Meng Guihuan that day and s

Sheng Weiqiao and the others were all looking at the Chinese cymbidium. After hearing her words, they saw a part of a purple robe inside the interlaced leaves of several camellia trees not far away. When they were about to ask, Zhao Taozhuang quickly walked around the flower trees in front of them. She walked in and asked, "Cousin, why are you here alone? Where are your servants?"Although people were open in this dynasty and it was not a big deal for young men and women without blood relationships to meet in private, Sheng Weiqiao thought that she was not familiar with Zhao Family after all. Furthermore, it was the first time for her to be here and she came here to make an apology. Since Zhao Taozhuang and the people inside did not invite them, she stopped. Before Sheng Weiwu and Gongsun Yingjiang came, they were asked to listen to Sheng Weiqiao's word, so they didn't move right now. Sheng Weiwu curiously poked her head out towards the back of the flower trees, but aft
