"Indeed, we shouldn't compromise so easily." Meng Guiyu himself did not feel humiliated, because he had suffered various humiliations, and thus developed a stoic personality over the years in order to survive and raise his younger siblings. Although the girl Empress Dowager Meng chose for him was everything he had wanted, from family background, look to temperament, the engagement was not settled, since Madam Xiang made the Empress Dowager change her mind the second Her Grace voiced out the suggestion.
He never got the girl!
Then, he didn't lose her, either. So, he could now speak in an even tone. "After all, our aunt has made a request for me. Eldest Aunt definitely would ask for a favor before she gives her consent."
"How can she trade your marriage with a favor?" Meng Guihan had lived all his life under his brother's wing and was not as stoic and mature as Meng Guiyu. He stamped his feet angrily, his face turning red, "Though I don't know mu
Xu Zijing couple and Xu Baomo had expected that, when the brother and sister of Sheng Family had left Ningwei Marquis Family because of the words of Xu Caikui, the news would be known by Senior Master Sheng and Old Marquis Xu in the south and the consequence would be serious.However, they didn't expect that Old Marquis Xu would come to them in person, even setting out before the upcoming New Year!This morning, after failing to visit the empress dowager, Madam Nan was about to find a teahouse near the palace and wait for her husband in the room.She found a teahouse nearby and sat in the room she ordered. Before the cakes and tea could be served, the housekeeper of Ningwei Marquis Family came in a hurry, saying that the letter of Old Marquis Xu was brought here by people from Cangwu County!Madam Nan was shocked when hearing it, and got desperate when she was told by the messenger that Old Marquis Xu was coming after returning to
"And still, you call me ‘pretty girl’. I thought you were complimenting me on my beauty." Completely hopeless, this fine-looking maid regained her composure and uttered coldly as she rested her eyes on Xu Baomo, "To think of that, do you ever remember my name, Young Lord?"Rattled by his upcoming tragic fate, Xu Baomo wasn't in a mood to talk with her. He said perfunctorily, "Pretty girl, don't be ridiculous. I need to go see my father now... Maybe it's not the end for us, and my parents will chide me and let it be. If my mother only throws you out of the manor, I have some savings for...""Your first question for me half a day ago when knocking into me in the side yard was what my name was... And I responded that my name is Mingcui (Vine Jade)." Her watery eyes fixed on Xu Baomo, this maid gave a triste and ironic smile. She sobbed, "You cited the verse "Chains of fine jade flutter like cicada's wings, and a pair of fine hands do her makeup" and praised th
"But Father and Mother aren't at fault!" Madam Nan's face changed, and she remained silent for quite a while before she uttered, "They got him to the faraway Cangwu County for our sake! They sacrificed their leisure time of retirement and went out of their way to look after a small baby!""The saying that the old take pleasure in babysitting is literally crap! It's delightful to babysit from time to time, but I know better than you that how much it takes to raise up a kid from his birth!""And you gave recognition to that brat's academic performance. Would a boy as ridiculous as he automatically sit down and study?""Father and Mother must have had to urge him every day!""It's obvious that how dedicated they were to nurse him!""How old are they already? How much have they endured in the past years?""And we haven't yet expressed our gratitude for them. Aren't we unhuman, if we blame our parents for pampe
And the rest of the people unanimously agreed to Xu Tong, "Eldest Master Sheng doesn't beat his son? It can't be!""Exactly! When Senior Master Sheng lectured his son, he never bothered to talk! Fists solved everything!""Didn't they?! Old Marquis would have liked to talk at first, but he decided to follow Senior Master Sheng's method later because a literate man must be right!""Senior Master Sheng pampers Eldest Master Sheng best, but still, he beat him when he played too much as a child. He would exercise restraint though, unlike when he beat Second Master Sheng and Third Master Sheng!"“It's like a family culture. Since Senior Master Sheng teaches his children in this way, Eldest Master Sheng must be doing the same! Well, I was wondering why Eldest Childe Sheng and Third Miss Sheng both look reserved and quiet. They must have been beaten a lot before they cultivated that good demeanor. While our Young Lord flattened the maid an
"..." Sheng Shuihe swallowed his blood silently and said, "Sweetie, I protect and care about you so much, but you just bring me such trouble.""Anyway, brother, you are so powerful, and I'm sure you can cope with it!" Sheng Weiqiao flattered him immediately. "Besides, Xu Caikui once got rid of me, so it is quite possible that Old Marquis comes to Chang'an in person for Xu Caikui's sake! But at that time, I will not be in Chang'an. If so, Old Marquis will likely do nothing but ask you to come and talk something ordinary."Sheng Shuihe narrowed his eyes and said with a faint smile, "Sweetie, have you forgotten the background of Old Marquis? It would be a mess if our grandfather persuaded him to come back to Chang'an after the Spring Exam next year. At least I would back you up if you still stayed in Chang'an at this time! But if you left me and took Eighth Sister back to Nanfeng County, you would definitely be stuck in the road by Old Marquis!"S
The dining room was suddenly in a dead-like silence. It was only Gongsun Yingjiang who was not surprised at the scene and kept on sipping her soup with a calm face. She let out a quiet sigh and thought, "Aunt Wu is still young and naive! Too naive! Little Uncle is not the kind of person who only feels a little upset and acts accordingly when you tell him to stop eating. He surely is not! Moreover, he is the kind of person who will eat more when you ask him not to eat!""The reason why he has restrained himself is that Aunt Wu is here, and she is still a kid.""Back to the days on the island, under similar circumstances, Little Uncle would push the table upside down to destroy all the dishes! If he couldn't eat, anyone else should not, either!""Little Uncle was indeed telling the truth. He was exiled to Daimao Island since childhood. The first several years were total misery. He caught small fish and shrimps from the sea which could barely feed
Sheng Weiqiao was not very interested in getting close with the Meng Family, so she was actually inclined to decline Meng Guihuan's invitation. When she heard what Meng Guihuan said, she became even more reluctant to accept the offer, since she really couldn't do the embroidery well. Her parents had never wanted their precious girl to touch needles, for she might injure herself. The embroidery thread was soft indeed, but it might make her palm hurt! The needles were so very sharp that they might pierce her flesh!If Madam Feng hadn't persuaded Sheng Weiqiao to at least learn a little embroidery, Sheng Weiqiao would never have touched a needle at all.Since Meng Guihuan dared to thread the painting of the Mountain Nan, a very difficult piece, as the gift for the Empress Dowager, Sheng Weiqiao assumed that her embroidery skill must be splendid even if it wasn't extraordinary.Sheng Weiqiao quietly grumbled, "Who am I to give a master of embroider
After hearing about this, Sheng Weiqiao intended to thank Meng Guiyu with Sheng Shuihe immediately, and Meng Guihuan also put the feast aside. After all, she just mentioned it casually, while it depended on Empress Dowager Meng to decide whether Sheng Weiqiao and Sheng Weiwu could participate in the feast as exceptions, and Meng Guihuan had no saying about it.So, they left the boudoir of Meng Guihuan, and Meng Guiyu had put on his daily clothes with deep green embroidered chrysanthemum patterns and sat in the front hall talking with Sheng Shuihe when they came out. Judging from their expressions, they had a good time.Seeing these two girls coming, they stood up and greeted each other again.After greeting, they sat down. Sheng Shuihe and Meng Guiyu both praised each other's sisters on their behavior and fortune.Later, Meng Guihan noticed that it was almost dinnertime and was about to have them stay for the meal, while a servant
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
