Although Princess Gaomi agreed to change the candidate and asked Zhao Taoxuan to live in Gaomi King Mansion for some time to see if she could have a relationship with Rong Shuihe, Zhao Taoxuan couldn't go there with her right away. First of all, she had to pack and bring at least a few belongings with her. Secondly, Old Madam Qin also had to say something to her granddaughter alone. Thirdly, although Old Madam Qin and Princess Gaomi both approved of this engagement, neither of them was dogmatic. If they couldn't get along well with each other finally, making an announcement in advance would burn all their bridges.
Therefore, after Princess Gaomi and Old Madam Qin agreed on this thing, the Old Madam called the people of the two branches back and talked with Princess Gaomi as usual.
Princess Gaomi greeted everyone with a smile and gave them the meeting gifts one by one, paying special attention to Zhao Taozhuang and Zhao Taoxuan. She found that Zhao Taoxuan w
Hearing it, they three straightened up at the same time, tidying up their clothes and hairpins.After a while, Rong Shuihe walked in. Looking at the three gorgeously dressed ladies, he was indifferent. After bowing to Princess Gaomi, he nodded to Zhao Sisters. Then he lifted his robe and sat down, saying politely, "Your Grace, you look great today.""I owe it all to you." Princess Gaomi smiled brightly and said softly, "If you hadn't taken care of me every day, how could I have recovered so quickly?"In order to get Rong Qingzui to be accepted by Gaomi King Family again, Zhao Taozhuang tried her best to please Princess Gaomi in Zhao Family. At this time, seeing the person whom she wanted to ask for help, she naturally became more ardent. She said then, "Cousin Shuihe, you are really filial!"It was a pity that Rong Shuihe didn't react much to what they said. He just said plainly, "It owes to Imperial Doctor Dong's excellent medical
Unaware of the crisis he was going to face, Rong Shuihe was attentively fiddling with a jade hairpin half done in his room.It was made out of flawless smooth suet white jade in the shape of a round stick, 12 centimeters in length, with the tip being blunted to prevent the possible injury. However, on the other end of the hairpin was sculpted neither the common flowers and birds, nor the auspicious clouds, nor the lively insects.Instead...It was a vivid rat.And instead of adopting the regular crawling posture, it held itself erect like a human and strutted, carrying a tree covered with peach blossoms, which was almost as rough as its body."Sweetie will be furious at the sight of this hairpin!" Rolling his wrist ably, Rong Shuihe carved buds as tiny as a single piece of rice at the center of the blossoms. He curled his lips, imagining Sheng Weiqiao's possible reaction when receiving this gift, "Didn't she call me a
After dinner, Rong Shuihe slept for a while before he put on the clothing and the ornaments he selected in the afternoon. He lit up as many as eighteen lamps and studied his image closely in the mirror under the brilliant light. Having made sure that every detail about him was perfect, he extinguished the lamps and stepped out.Having been a pirate for years, he learned fast from his last and only practice of slinking out of the mansion and acted perfectly this time.Hence, he looked just genteel and tidy as usual when he arrived at the Mansion of the Sheng Family.Rong Shuihe groomed himself again in front of the back window of Sheng Weiqiao's boudoir and snuck in after ably drawing the bolt from the outside."Here you are!" Sheng Weiqiao, who had gone to bed, got up as she heard him and put on her wrap. She sneered, looking at his clothing damp with the dew, "I thought you didn't have the gut to show up!""Sweetie, w
Sheng Weiqiao took over the brocade case. However, instead of opening it, she cast an eye over her bedside and threw it at the sandal footstool with a powerful force!She said triumphantly, "There must be a real rat inside! Humph, you schemed to frighten me, didn't you?! Did you think I would readily bite at the bait?!"However, with a crash, inside of the broken case was the jade hairpin decorated with a rat carrying a peach tree, which had taken Rong Shuihe several days and nights to make but now was snapped in two!Rong Shuihe, "..."Sheng Weiqiao, "???"There was a dead silence in the room."Sweetie..." Rong Shuihe didn't utter until a few moments later in a low voice, "What made you believe that I would ever prepare a real rat for you as the gift?"He knew better than to tease a girl with a method typical of the seven-year-old boys...Plus, given Sheng Weiqiao's temperament a
When he departed, Rong Shuihe still felt as if he had been in a dream.He was overcome with the rapture over those sweet kisses indeed. However, on top of that, he was also fearful. What if Sheng Weiqiao learned about the truth behind his act one day?With a chill sent down to his spine, he decided to put it aside."I'm so obliged for this hairpin!" With cheerfulness, Rong Shuihe stayed up to repair the jade hairpin decorated with a rat carrying a peach tree after he returned to the Gaomi King Mansion.In fact, Sheng Weiqiao had offered apologetically to find a craftsman and get it fixed by herself, but Rong Shuihe didn't want other people to lay a finger on the hairpin made by him. He reminded her that a hairpin with such a special appearance could easily stand out among her great number of ornaments and cause the servants to suspect its origin.And he said that he could handle small damage like this on his own. It wa
At that time, all the people in Gaomi King Mansion had known that Princess Gaomi took Rong Shuihe seriously. Hearing Princess Gaomi's words, they instantly became nervous. Before the young maids stood out, Nanny Zhao volunteered herself. She said, "Your Grace, may I go and have a look?"When Princess Gaomi was about to agree, a figure flashed past the threshold and came in. It was Rong Shuihe.Seeing that, Princess Gaomi quickly stood up and greeted him. She asked him solicitously, "Shuihe, why do you come here late today? Do you feel ill?"Rong Shuihe smiled and said, "Nothing. I just overslept. I'm sorry to keep you waiting!"Seeing that he was smiling, Princess Gaomi and other people were stunned at first. Then, Princess Gaomi and Nanny Zhao all brightened up. Since the first day Rong Shuihe returned to the Mansion, Princess Gaomi had regarded him as a treasure, doting on him and cherishing him.However, Rong Shuihe
Rong Shuihe and Zhao Sisters did not know the pain in Princess Gaomi's heart. After they had finished the breakfast, Zhao Taozhuang took the initiative to say to Rong Shuihe, "Cousin Shuihe, let us not disturb Aunt's rest. Why not go to the pavilion in the garden to have a talk? Thus, we can enjoy the cool while talking."She thought this was a season with eyeful green, and the flowers and grass in the garden were quite luxuriant. Against this backdrop, seeing that his own cousin in a rosy dress looked gorgeous but not garish, enchanting but also demure, she thought maybe his brilliant cousin would have an impulse to compose a poem as a token of love?Even if it would not be as smooth as she had thought, the pavilion in the garden was also an ideal setting for a couple in love.However, Rong Shuihe did not know Zhao sisters' tricks.At that time, his head was full of the thought that he must outdo that gigolo Li Shengxu in all resp
Last night, Rong Shuihe had sneaked into Sheng Weiqiao's bedroom. Then, he had told her that Zhao Sisters had arrived at Gaomi King Mansion, and that they had come to keep Princess Gaomi company or for some other reasons. Now, hearing that, Sheng Weiqiao just did not think much about what they meant.She thought that Rong Shuihe had given his two cousins some presents at the first meeting. Then, Zhao Sisters just wanted to send him some return presents. Well, etiquette required reciprocity. Naturally, Sheng Weiqiao, who thought that she was tolerant, magnanimous and sensible, would not think much about such a common thing. Thus, hearing that, she just smiled and said, "I see! But I am afraid that I may disappoint you. As you know, he became a part of the Sheng Family at the age of seventeen. And then, he successively won the first in three examinations the following year. Thus, he almost immersed himself in learning before that year.""At that time, I was j
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
