In order not to disturb Meng Bijun, they all left their maids where they were. Sheng Weiqiao even specifically warned Sheng Weiwu to keep quiet later unless she was asked to speak. Then Meng Guihuan took the lead to upstairs.
They came to the end after a turn and a few more steps on the narrow stairs.
There was a small drawing room on the second floor with the curtains neatly tied with purple crepe with gold threads on it, exposing a row of colored glaze lattice doors on the south side.
Across the entire length of the drawing room, they saw a vast expanse of snow outside. The snow reflected the daylight, making the entire room extraordinarily bright. The part-cut for window decoration pasted on the colored glazed also looked brilliant red.
Dressed in a rose-purple short blouse and a colorful skirt, Meng Bijun was sitting cross-legged on a soft couch next to the colored glaze doors and reading a book.
Perceiving Meng Gu
Hearing it, Princess Deping subconsciously drooped her eyes to conceal the embarrassment and sadness in her eyes. If she hadn't been driven into a corner, as the daughter of Gaomi King and the Princess, how could she have been here to make a fool of herself?Not to mention to please the daughter of a fifth-rank official who came from afar!She knew how Meng Guihuan and others thought of her and how they looked down upon her."To tell you the truth, I am very interested in the scenery of Nanfeng County. But because of my identity, I have never left Chang'an in my life. I can only get a shallow understanding of it from books. It's really a pity to me." Princess Deping tried to suppress the surging sourness in her heart, and she raised her head to show a smile with expectation and yearning, "Can you tell something about it to me if you have some free time some day? Third Miss Sheng."What she said was somewhat beyond Sheng Weiqiao's e
Although Sheng Weiqiao asked that question, she had guessed the result.Although Princess Deping had the chance to congratulate Meng Bijun in Zheng Guogong’s Family today, she was a guest here after all. Meanwhile, Meng Guiyu, the son of the Meng family, could be taken as a half host. Moreover, Zheng Guogong’s Family was heavily separated by high walls and alleys. Hence, Princess Deping, as a female guest, might not find Meng Guiyu here, unless she got the full support of the host, let alone scheme against Meng Guiyu in his face.But if she got the help from the host, considering the big gap of positions and powers between the eldest branch and the fourth branch of the Meng Family, Meng Guiyu might be still in the plight even if he saw through the scheme.As for other factors, not to mention whether the two met by chance, although it was said that Meng Guiyu was short of money, it was only relative to the top circle of the Country Mu where he w
Sheng Weiqiao thought quickly in her mind, "Maybe Princess Gaomi met with Jing Shu Princess just because she was talented when she was a teenager and she appreciated all talented girls. But since Princess Gaomi, who hadn't been in touch with the outside world for a long time, was touched by Jing Shu Princess's talents, how could Jing Shu Princess write only one piece of poetry which was accidentally known by Princess Gaomi? And then she was called in by Princess Gaomi.""I am afraid that what matters the most is not Jing Shu Princess's talent but the content of the poem, which bemoans the loss of children and prays for the safety of the family... If the Third Son of Gaomi King Family had been missing rather than dead, Princess Gaomi might have been touched by Jing Shu Princess's poem because she had been missing her son all the time.""In this way, Princess Gaomi's meeting with her can be reasonable then.""My brother specially asked Jing Shu P
Though bemused, Sheng Weiqiao smiled back at her. Sheng Weiqiao recalled that she wanted to consult something from Huan Yehe, but she had never visited Sheng Shuihe ever since her last meeting with him in the middle of the night.Maybe she had, but privately. And Sheng Shuihe didn't tell anybody.This wasn't a party desired by her, but it could also be her chance since Huan Yehe was here.Then she turned her head and murmured to Lvjin, "Keep an eye on Jing Shu Princess, and give me a hint when the people around her disperse."Lvjin responded a yes."We're all here, aside from Fourteenth Sister. She's been keeping us waiting!" Sheng Weiqiao noticed Meng Lijiang peeking at them as Meng Guihuan and she made their way to the inside after Lvjin took the order from Sheng Weiqiao. Surrounded by several girls, she raised her voice and continued, "Fourteenth Sister is a quiet type who doesn't welcome people's visit. Maybe other
Sheng Weiqiao expressly found one of the most inferior tables with Gongsun Yingjiang and Sheng Weiwu, which was remote from both Meng Bijun and Meng Lijiang. They couldn't enjoy watching performances clearly. The plates and cups in face of them were not as delicate as those of Gongsun Yingjiang and Sheng Weiwu. But it wasn't the matter!They weren't meant to have lunch or experience luxury here. All they wanted was to stay safe until they went back!As they prayed, with one beat on the drum, dancers in colorful outfits showed up on the stage, moving on light steps. Delicate food was served, contained in jade plates. Finally, the banquet started!The guests were a bit intoxicated after having some wine, and they began to chat more freely as the performance on the stage continued.The table of Sheng Weiqiao's group was inconspicuous, but the girls nearby could notice them while exchanging words. Some leaned closer, trying to initiate
Huan Yehe smiled dryly as she looked into Sheng Weiqiao's distrustful eyes and went straight to the point, "I suppose you've learned about the competition between the wife and the concubine of the Guogong Family.""Fourteenth Miss Meng doesn't seem to enjoy social occasions. It would have got unimaginably embarrassing in A Rambling Reader's Study if her three cousins and I hadn't managed to save the situation. Do you know why they insisted on holding a boisterous birthday party for her, still?"Sheng Weiqiao reacted to her question by instructing Gongsun Yingjiang, "You bring Eighth Sister to the other side of the room and get her something to eat."She could presume that Huan Yehe was about to tell her something big and lesser-known. She feared that Sheng Weiwu would leak it out with a slip of tongue, which was a mistake commonly seen in a girl at her age and could easily get them into trouble.She sent away Gongsun Yingjiang also
Huan Yehe chuckled as she said softly, "The third son of Gaomi King Family, who's said to have died young, has got a red birthmark of a thumb's size on his body... Am I right?!"A birthmark?Sheng Weiqiao was surprised and figured she obtained an important piece of information!But she managed to recompose herself and asked, "How did you know something so private?""You needn't know that!" Huan Yehe moved back to where she sat and poured herself another cup of tea. She took a sip with a faint smile on her face, "Your brother has a servant called Sheng Xi. I could tell by his family name that he's from a bloodline that serves Sheng Family for generations... You can go ask him, as his Miss. If he didn't take note of it before, he could check it out while serving your brother's bathing."She told her that and then began to hold back her words, despite Sheng Weiqiao's prying. She even turned the table on Sheng Weiqiao, ask
Fortunately, it was not far away from Jingshe and Wangyou told the place clearly, so the aunt and the nephew led the maid and found the place easily.At this time, there were several young ladies in the Jingshe first, but they were strange faces. They nodded to each other as a greeting and no longer paid attention to each other.After dressing and washing their hands, the two slightly fixed their makeup to the bronze mirror outside. After that, they left the room.After leaving Jingshe, he went around the main hall of the main reception hall of the Laurel Garden along the way he came and joined up with Wangyou who was hiding behind the rockery. As this place is not far from the main reception hall, he did not say much but hurried back to Xiaoxuan.After going out for a while, Wangyou said with a smile, "You two are back so fast. You didn't meet any acquaintances, did you?""We hardly know the people here." Sheng Weiqia
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
