Sheng Weiqiao inwardly recognized Sheng Shuihe’s sharp ears as she heard Jinli's footsteps. She was surprised at the news Jinli brought. She jumped off the bed and went to open the door for her, "A guest during the Spring Festival? Is he one of Xu Family's members?"
Jinli shook her head, "No. He seems to be an old acquaintance of our master."
Sheng Siblings put on a serious face. Sheng Weiqiao shoved Sheng Shuihe, "Go dress up and receive our guest! If we keep him waiting, he could think we are meant to slight him!"
Because Sheng Shuihe was the only one asked to go, Sheng Weiqiao could simply quit for the time being. She exited from the door and let Jinli help Sheng Shuihe to change. It was considerate of Sheng Shuihe to have prepared two suits of formal clothes in both his bedroom and his study for unscheduled visits like this.
Otherwise he would have to pass through the main reception hall, where the guest was already seated, in
Honestly, Sheng Weiqiao feared to communicate with the nobles in Chang'an, because her visit to the Empress Dowager had put an end to her happy life here. Though, according to Sheng Shuihe's analysis, Her Grace wasn't really mad at her.However, Sheng Shuihe wouldn't have come to Chang'an if he didn't pursue a successful career. As his sister, she couldn't lock herself at home without contacting people before her brother married a woman who would then help to handle the domestic affairs. Even if she had planned to return to Nanfeng County as soon as the result of the examination came out, she shouldn't leave before everything was settled for Sheng Shuihe.Thus, she instantly nodded, "Yes, we'll go to the study after lunch."Sheng Weiwu was still asleep, under the effect of her drug. And Gongsun Yingjiang was too lazy to get up. Sheng Siblings were the only two sitting by the lunch table. They roughly finished eating, rinsed their mouths, wiped
"It is said that Princess Wuyang is also inquiring about this. After all, she has not been in Chang'an for several months. Coming back several days ago, she received no exact news yet. Therefore, Uncle Tu is not very clear about this." Sheng Shuihe shook his head, saying, "When uncle talked about this, he predicted that Meng Family believed that if the Emperor has to make the son of his another wife as his heir, the mother of the son could be Empress Dowager, right?"Sheng Weiqiao said in a low voice, "But if the new emperor came from Mansion or Guangling King Family, he might not care about his stepmother with the support of biological parents and brothers. You just mentioned that there are no close fathers and sons in a king family, not to mention the nominal mother and son!"Sheng Shuihe smiled and said, "Who knows? Fortunately, Uncle Tu is very concerned about us. If he gets some news, he would think of methods to inform us. Then we can know that. It is
Sheng Shuihe stared at Weiqiao for long enough to make her feel frozen before saying, "So, you are giving me maids. And, they are fairly good-looking? Sweetie, are these girls predestined to be my concubines?"Embarrassed, Weiqiao replied, "No! That's not what I meant. Concubines? Absolutely not. As your sister, I don't think I am in the position to do that. I am only asking if you need extra help since you don't have many maids here. And the maids should have looked decent that at least they will not embarrass you if they are to attend for your needs in public. Otherwise, people would think that we could not afford some decent maids!"Sheng Weiqiao was deeply confused about why the conversation would go this way and even involved concubines.Since in this era, a maid only became a concubine under limited circumstances when the elderly in the family believed it was time the young master had erotic experience or when a lucky chambermaid got the
Sheng Shuihe thought this should be like that. After all, although their conversations were not full of laughter before, Sheng Weiqiao was always emotionally stable. After he rejected Sheng Weiqiao when she was about to leave and mentioned to arrange maids for him, the girl finally left a little unhappily.Presumably, Sheng Weiqiao was not happy now because of that matter!"It's no wonder she would behave like that. The girl was kind, but I always ask her back and refuse her. She would definitely feel that she was thinking about me, but it felt like she had asked for a snub in the end!" Sheng Shuihe felt embarrassed when he thought about it this way. He considered secretly, "But it is really inconvenient for me that I have two maids to serve me!"After all, many of his secrets couldn't be passed on yet. If he accepted the maid from this girl and let them serve him personally, it would be hard to not reveal any flaw in daily life. If the two mai
Sheng Weiqiao hadn't been comforted well yet, and his only intimate henchman was also dissatisfied with him. Sheng Shuihe twitched his mouth and said in his heart that the house he lived in now had to be changed anyway. Since after the next day he moved in, there was no one restful day!What was more, when Sheng Lanci purchased this place that year, although he successfully became the metropolitan graduate and the Imperial Academy, he received news that Senior Master Sheng was seriously ill and hurriedly resigned and returned to his hometown. Was the geomantic omen of this place okay?"I'm actually not a member of Sheng Family." After thinking about it, Sheng Shuihe decided to tell the truth to Gongsun Xi. Firstly, this person was the person who had been following him since he was a kid, and he was always loyal. Gongsun Xi would be responsible for many confidential matters later, so this secret could not be kept for long; Secondly, he didn't want his number
He went back home, swearing, and then saw a carriage parked at the door with two servants in black standing behind. It snowed heavily, so the brown carriage was completely covered with white snow. Even though the two servants were standing behind the carriage to avoid the wind, they were still shivering.Xu Zijing came up to the carriage and lifted the curtain. He was about to yell at Sheng Shuihe for his rudeness, while the carriage was empty!He was stunned, and the two servants came up to him to salute and told him before he could ask, "On our way here, Eldest Childe saw a tea house not far ahead, so he went there with Third Miss and her maids and young manservants to have a rest, having us stay here with the carriage."Xu Zijing laughed after extreme anger, "Did he regard Ningwei Marquis Family as a treacherous place and have no guts to get closer?"The two servants could only smile and said nothing, and Xu Zijing looked at whe
When Sheng Weiqiao was in a dilemma, Madam Nan cut in, "Grand Princess, my father in law wants my son to marry Weiqiao."She intended to say that Sheng Weiqiao was engaged to her son Xu Baomo, so she could mention the marriage between the two families again and even find an excuse for Xu Caikui's offense to Sheng Weiqiao.However, she remembered that the brother and sister of Sheng Family were not even willing to get in Ningwei Marquis Family for a cup of tea but waited for her in a tea house. They must have a fairly bad impression of Xu Family!On this occasion, Madam Nan dared not lie but could only tell the truth.Empress Dowager Meng seemed disappointed, but the Grand Princess Wuyang smiled with her hand covering her mouth, "Young ladies are popular. I think this girl is adorable. If she's not engaged, we could find her a good husband at the Spring Exam next year, when all talents will come to Chang'an. We have no idea that Mad
After a while, a girl that was about sixteen years old walked into the palace with two maids in colorful clothes under the guidance of the servant.Her bun was in an elegant while lovely style that was popular among maidens, with not many hairpins, a few bead flowers, and a pair of golden hairpin. As a princess, she was expected to have way more accessories than these.As the eldest daughter of a scholarly family, her appearance was as elegant and pretty as Sheng Weiqiao had imagined: a good-shaped face, lovely eyes, straight nose and red lips. She was slender and much taller than other girls. She was in a plum-blossom-embroidered yellow dress with a graceful belt on her waist. Her manner was so elegant that she walked delightfully while the jade hung on her hairpin stayed still!Her smile was so graceful and just right, which was neither reserved nor adulatory, that people would feel at ease and start to like her with her scholarliness.
Shu Zhaoyi lost her soul and returned to the Xuanjing Emperor placed outside the bedchamber, and was about to go in to see how the Xuanjing Emperor slept ... After she came back with the Xuanjing Emperor, because she was anxious to go to interrogate Meng Guiyu alone, she excused herself to drink wine to drown her sorrows, and left the Xuanjing Emperor after she got him drunk.This moment back can not help but go in to see, who knows just to the door to see the two chamberlains eyes and nose guarding.Seeing Zhaoyi come over, their faces all changed, and they bowed tremblingly, saying, "Long live the Empress!""There are people inside?" Shu Zhaoyi asked with a raised eyebrow when she saw that despite their respectful attitude, they never had the intention to give way.The two chamberlains looked at each other, with trepidation in their eyes, knowing that the Shu sisters were in great favor and neither were good-tempered.Especially at this moment, the ne
Shu Zhaoyi's expression was harsh, but Meng Guiyu's face was calm, and he said in a deep voice, "Back to Lady Zhaoyi, I really didn't know about Your Highness's suffering at all!"He glanced at Shu Guifei's remains on the door panel not far away, "As for why His Majesty and Lady Zhaoyi found that Lady Guifei was missing, they issued an imperial edict for the forbidden army to search everywhere, and in the end, it was me who sent Lady Guifei to His Majesty as well as to Lady Zhaoyi.... Ma'am, I reported up before that Lady Guifei wasn't personally found by me, but was reported up after his men found it. personally found, but rather after my men found it and reported it up, I went to see it!""After all, I have been favored by the two empresses and have joined the forbidden army as the Grand Commander of the forbidden army. When the forbidden army discovers a clue, it is natural to report it to me first, and then I will convey it to His Majesty and you, Your Highness!"
"Your Highness!" Meng Gui Yu's expression was somber, his eyes were also red, stepped forward and cupped his fists and said, "After I learned that Your Highness and her attendants had disappeared, I couldn't believe that Your Highness had been in an accident! However, the Queen Consort lived in the Qiongxue Palace and the left side of the inch by inch search down, the Committee did not see any silhouettes, can only be dispersed towards the distance. At this time to listen to the water division side of the report, said the spring wave lake floated up ... floated up a number of people, all for the palace attire, the leader of the even more expensive clothes extraordinary, I ... ministers eleven million hope that it is a mistake!""But the minister to the lake, personally saw this body pomegranate red dress shirt ... I remember, two days ago also see your concubine through ...""This must be which bitchy servant girl, stole this palace sister's robe!!!" Shu Zhao Yi covered
The sky was overcast as if it were night before the rain poured down.In the back room of the assassin's residence, the doors and windows were closed, and it was too dim to see the outlines of things.Yi Liu dressed in Xuan Shirt strong clothing, full head of green silk also with the same color of the handkerchief tightly wrapped up, foot soft sole light boots, quietly stepped over the scarlet ground tangled branches of lotus pattern unicorn play beads rug.The short sword in his hand was coated in black paint, dark and heavy that would not emit any reflections, best suited for the immediate environment.She narrowed her eyes slightly so as not to let the luster between the flow of her bright eyes be detected by her opponent.The thunder outside the house had been raging for a long time, and her confrontation with her opponent had lasted even longer.She's in no hurry.In addition to the fact that this was the Assassin's Palace, the home bas
Rong Sleeping Crane was busy smiling and greeted her, "Auntie! I disturbed you last night, are you resting well now?"Xuan Yu Feng first looked him up and down, saw his gray head and face, and his clothes were dirty, then said in a pleasant manner, "I am an idle person anyway, it is nothing to make a mess once in a while, but it is you ... how did you get this? How to make such a mess? I just saw with you a piece of over the guards, are good, thought you also safe and sound it!"Let's just say that he, "Auntie knows that this child of yours is both literate and skilled in martial arts. But the so-called not in his position does not seek his own politics, you now is not to the district Gongsun clan to sell their lives of the Wuyi camp leader, but the king of the big Mu County, is the husband of Qiao Er, lemonade father of the king! If it is because of the first to fight, there are any shortcomings, you call Qiao'er mother and son in the future how to do?""What's mo
"..." Rong Sleeping Crane froze and said, "Good girl, although Meng Boqin is gone, the Northern Border may not be peaceful ah! And you also know that I secretly came from the Western Border this time, so after settling your mother and son, I will talk to uncle for a few more days, and also have to hurry to return to the Western Border."Sheng Weiqiao said, "You have urgent matters, you go to the western border first! I'll go over slowly with lemonade, at most it's just a few more days of traveling."She frowned slightly, ''Before I left from the Western Frontier in such a hurry, the things I lost down were just that, Geun Li, Ju Li those people, and the twelve niang and whatnot ... I'm telling you, if it wasn't for the fact that you were in the way of Meng Boqin before, and you said that it was safest to take the sea route to leave, I would have wanted to go to the Western Frontier to witness it no matter what. I'd like to go to the western border to see them before I fe
"Think of the good in things!" The plan to use Zhao Shi as a front failed, Rong Yuhe could only go alone to face his wife's doubts, he was on his way to comfort himself, "I can't say that my daughter is worried and scared alone in the camp, and she is satisfied to see that I am well past it. Why is it that things are happening differently from what she told me before, and she's not in the mood to get to the bottom of it, so I'll be able to get by with a few perfunctory sentences?"With that thought he looked down at his neat as new robes, pondered for a moment, and decisively halted his mount!The left and right guards were instantly aghast, taking off the bow hanging on the saddle and nocking arrows from the arrow pot at their waist while asking in a low voice, "County King?""... "Rong Sleeping Crane looked at them as if they were enemies, the corner of his mouth twitched, and said, "It's nothing. Well, you guys stay here, lone go to the side forest for a bit!"
The green-clothed boy heard, a face of "difficult to say" expression, once again look at Zhao Shi, mouth vaguely said, "I do not know how to say ... anyway... several stewards feel very difficult to make a judgment. ...Several stewards feel that it's very tricky and can't make a judgment, so I can only ask the County King to personally decide!"Seeing this situation, Zhao Shi raised an eyebrow and said to Rong Sleeping Crane, "I'm about to go out to see how things are going underneath, you guys talk over here!"Just take the old maid and go.The room is left with Rong Sleeping Crane and the boy, that boy immediately swept away the calm in front of Zhao Shi's master and servant, said in a tone of excitement mixed with inexplicable excitement, "County King! To tell you the truth, you may not believe it: brother Ah Xi, he ... actually slept with the Empress!!!"Yung Sleeping Crane, who has taken a hundred and twenty-thousand percent care and is ready to receive
Zhao Shi sniffed, froze for a good while, before asking with doubts, "You ... you send all the horses of your Western Frontier elite cavalry over? Then what about the direct line that you single-handedly trained?"Not waiting for Rong Sleeping Crane to answer, he shook his head again, "Not right! You kid has always been treacherous, not taking advantage of others would be good, how could you do something so self-sacrificing?!"Mind electric turn, suddenly eyes bright, breathing are a little short of breath, eagerly asked, "I remember you promised Deng Chen Liyu to help him raise his son and grandson ...?""I'm not as old as his grandson, what do you mean by helping him raise his son and grandson?" Rong Sleeping Crane cried and laughed, "It's just a promise to shelter a few of his heirs."Zhao suitable toward him leaned his body, attentive to ask, "The previous dynasty has the emperor Na Ru Ru princess as a consort, when Ru Ru accompanied by 10,000 horses, tha
