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.
Although Sheng Weiqiao had been educated by her aunt, Madam Feng, she had not practiced what she had learned. What was more, Madam Feng was just the mistress of a powerful family of the county. Even though she treated her niece with heart and soul and told her what she knew selflessly, she was limited by the horizon and environment, so the experience she taught was far from enough for the intrigues in this palace.Sheng Weiqiao had been in Nanfeng County for years, enjoying extreme superiority, so she had no one to respect or even fawn on there in her whole life, let alone any authority figure. Therefore, she was totally lame at guessing people's intentions.However, Madam Nan, who came to the palace with her, was only a wife of a Marquis, who was born in a poor family. So her shrewdness also could not compare with that of those noblewomen of similar status.Therefore, both of them didn't realize that Empress Dowager Meng and the Grand Princess
Since the Grand Princess Wuyang said so, Madam Nan couldn't continue to educate her niece naturally but only whisper gloomily, "Mind your words. Don't make trouble again!"Sheng Weiqiao nodded gently at Madam Nan, walked to the Grand Princess Wuyang and saluted. The Grand Princess asked her to stand up and walked with her arm in arm. After a while, the Grand Princess suddenly talked to her. She was not just joking with Sheng Weiqiao or asking about her family as Sheng Weiqiao and Madam Nan had imagined. On the contrary, she asked in a low voice, "Have you offended Jing Shu? Or have you accidentally done something that made her mad?"Sheng Weiqiao was shocked when hearing this, "Your Highness, why did you say that? I met Jing Shu Princess for the first time today! I really don’t know whether I have done anything that offended Jing Shu Princess. After all, the only thing I have done related to her is that I have stayed in Danmo Building for half a day when I
When the Grand Princess Wuyang asked Sheng Weiqiao whether she had offended Huan Yehe, Madam Nan could hear clearly behind them. Now that Huan Yehe caught up with them and asked to speak with Sheng Weiqiao alone, she was very alert and moved forward to stand before Sheng Weiqiao. She said with a fake smile, "Your Highness, unfortunately, we have to leave the palace as soon as possible since we have an emergency. Can she talk to you for instruction later?"Huan Yehe smiled dignifiedly and kindly, "Madam’s words make me feel that I am a stranger to you. Miss Sheng and I are of the same age. How can I instruct her? Miss Sheng has never been to Chang'an before and this is the first time we met, so we are a bit strange. After we get familiar with each other, we would be like sisters! Besides, I’m not avoiding you but only feeling a little embarrassed!"When she was talking, she had walked up to Sheng Weiqiao and her aunt. She stroked her hair which had been dish
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
