Sheng Shuihe demanded as usual when he departed, "Will you give me a kiss?"
Sheng Weiqiao would have liked to give him a blow in the face instead. But she managed to contain her temper, recalling how she paid when she rejected him last time, and requested, "Close your eyes!"
Seeing Sheng Shuihe submissively close his eyes, she rolled her eyes and tapped her finger on his cheek. But he grabbed at her wrist before she could withdraw and chuckled, opening his eyes, "Sweetie, were you thinking about muddling it through?"
"I just felt like poking your face!" Sheng Weiqiao shook his hand off and laughed coldly, "I don't want to kiss a petty man like you anymore!"
She pulled the quilt and was to lie down.
"You wayward bad girl!" Sheng Shuihe's eyes narrowed as she played her tricks. Without further hassle, he pinched on her cheek and laughed lowly, "I'll let you slide this time. But things won't be so easy if you renege again
Hence, Senior Master Sheng had to cut short his conversation with Sheng Weiqiao because of the Empress' call.Despite the kindness and consideration that Empress Meng evinced during their last meeting in the side palace hall of the Xin Shou Palace, Sheng Weiqiao was unsure about what awaited her there today, given the revelation of Sheng Shuihe's identity and the censure from State Duke Zheng, Empress Meng's father yesterday.She felt flustered as she dressed up in Jihong Pavilion.And the members of the Sheng Family and the Xu Family felt likewise. Madam Nan would have liked to accompany her to the palace if she hadn't been firmly rejected by the eunuch, "Madam, please don't make it difficult for me! Her Majesty is so reclusive that she even declined the routine greetings of the harem, and she only wished to talk with Third Miss Sheng today!"Hence, Sheng Weiqiao got on the carriage alone in the eunuch's company after consoling he
"I occupied myself with books because I had no other pastime before." Meng Bijun gave an ironic smile as if sensing Sheng Weiqiao's perplexity and explained, "As you know, among all my siblings in State Duke Zheng Family, I am neither in close touch with the elder ones who I see only a few times every year nor on good terms with the younger ones who are involved in their mothers' infighting!""I don't get along with my brother. And I'm distant from the cousins who live in different branches. Hence, I had no choice but to read.""Now that I'm selected as the empress and get to independently manage... A mere Wangchun Palace, though, I'm allowed the freedom to do what I want instead of being immersed in books."She raised her hand to exhibit the bracelet set with flower-shaped gemstones and chuckled, "Like, adorn myself with various hairpins and jewelry."And then she smoothed the sleeve of her ivory blouse in the pattern of ginkgo br
But Meng Guiyu's menace didn't work on Meng Sisters.Because Meng Bichen dared not to fight back, she was beaten up by Meng Bijun when she was too tired to run and caught up by Meng Bijun. Face bruised, chignon loosened, she bellowed as she rushed to the outside, "I'll request Aunt to give me justice!""How dare you?!" Dauntless, Meng Bijun stood at the door of the hall, huffing and puffing, and pointed at Meng Bichen, who was now at the bottom of the stairs, with her Ruyi. She sneered, "Kneel, kowtow, and apologize to me, or I won't let it go!""She knew it clearly that you wouldn't hand over Third Miss Sheng to her to begin with. She and Fifth Brother-in-law were exasperated that young Chengxuan has reached the end of his career. But the Meng Family wouldn't hand over Jiayan to appease the Gao Family's anger. He's the eldest grandson of Second Uncle, after all." Meng Guiyu went up and heaved a sigh, "She came here only to let off some steam!"
In the past, Gaomi King had so many concubines and children. But since fifteen years ago, his third legitimate son "died" and his concubines and some others were infected with the "epidemic" and died over a night, only Gaomi King and his wife and their two sons and two daughters were left in the big house.When Sheng Shuihe was brought to the hall by Gaomi King himself, Princess Gaomi and the Young Lord Rong Qingzhuo's family were waiting there. Princess Qingfang, who had already been married, was not there. The second legitimate son Rong Qingzui, and Princess Huihe, who had not got married yet, were not there as well.However, none of the people present meant to mention those people. Seeing Sheng Shuihe entering the door, Princess Gaomi who was waiting eagerly stood up and greeted him excitedly, "Qingchou, you are back!"Princess Gaomi was dressed up to welcome her little son who she hadn't seen for so long a time obviously. She wore green upp
"Father, mother, you see! Third brother also wants to reunite with the second brother and the youngest sister!" Gaomi King couple's expressions stiffened after hearing it. While Princess Qingfang showed a joyful look and said at once, "Third brother, they are your second brother and our youngest sister. When you were still in Chang'an, they were always with you! You...""Enough!" Before Princess Qingfang finished speaking, the pale-faced Princess Gaomi suddenly shouted in anger, "You cruel woman! I don't have a daughter like you! Get out of here! Don't show up in front of me anymore!"Princess Gaomi had been ill for a long time. This shout seemed to have taken all of her strength. After the burst, an abnormal blush suddenly appeared on her originally pale face. She subconsciously pressed her chest and fell down."Mother, please calm down!" Seeing this, everyone was shocked. Rong Qingzhuo was the first one to lift his robe and stand up. He walke
This card was sent by a subordinate of Tu Ruchuan, the Secretary General of the Grand Princess Wuyang Family. As Tu Ruchuan thought, he once had established a friendship with Sheng Lanci, and thus it was necessary for him to visit the Senior Master Sheng couple who had just arrived in Chang'an.Actually, he had been thinking about paying a visit to Sheng Family for a long time. But there had been a host of things of Grand Princess Wuyang Family waiting for him to do over the past few days. As the Secretary General, he had been busy with these things. Thus, he put off visiting the Senior Master Sheng couple to this day."Ruchuan has almost become my son-in-law. But I have not cultivated my daughter into a lady. Thus, I have not been in luck. I have missed the opportunity to have such a kind son-in-law." Senior Master Sheng looked at the sender's name on the card and said wistfully, "I have heard that as Shuihe and Weiqiao arrived in Chang'an, he took good ca
When Sheng Weiqiao came here, Old Marquis Xu and Madam Nan had already left. Hence, Senior Master Sheng just came straight to the point and said to his granddaughter, "Your Uncle Tu has just come to tell me that the Grand Princess Wuyang believes that you are a nice girl and thus intends to arrange a marriage between you and her only son, Yichun Marquis. You have met Yichun Marquis once. What do you think of him?"Yesterday Senior Master Sheng had talked with Sheng Weiqiao about her marriage. But she did not expect that her grandfather would find a candidate for her marriage just in a day. Thus, she could not help being stunned by his words and said slowly, "On the last day of the Yuanxiao Lantern Exhibition, I was in the Buye Tower and saw him from a distance. Isn't it too sudden? As I have heard, it seems that the Grand Princess Wuyang does not want to get involved in the fight between the Meng family and Gaomi King."The Grand Princess, who was slick in
Flower-enjoying banquets were only for young men and women. As was known to all, with the name of “flower-enjoying banquets”, they were blind date parties in themselves. Well, in fact, they did have something to do with enjoying flowers. But the flowers that men enjoyed may not be such blooming flowers on the branches as peach blossoms, plum blossoms, apricot blossoms or pear blossoms, but beautiful young women who were in the prime of their lives.As a matter of fact, the Grand Princess Wuyang was very experienced in arranging flowering-enjoying banquets. At first, she gave some banquets to find good husbands for her daughters. Well, later, parents who intended to arrange marriages for their children all asked her to offer their children a decent opportunity to meet each other, for she was popular among the wealthy and influential families in Chang'an.Therefore, the flower-enjoying banquet took a very short time to arrange. Well, most of the famili
