Compared with Noble Consort Shu who was haughty by dint of the Emperor's pampering, Consort Shu, whom Sheng Weiqiao had once met in the Buye Tower, was more obedient.
Consort Shu sat straightly with her head slightly down. She put her hands on her knees and sometimes patted Emperor Xuanjing's hand holding her waist, motioning him to behave himself.
Consort Shu wore a veil last time when Sheng Weiqiao saw her. Therefore, it was also the first time that Sheng Weiqiao had seen her appearance. Though she and Noble Consort Shu were half-blooded sisters, they did not look like each other.
Consort Shu had dusky arched eyebrows and the almond-shaped eyes of a phoenix. With snow-like skin and peachy cheeks, she had a beautiful appearance. She did a peach makeup with blood-red lips and a begonia-patterned sticker between her eyebrows. Her cheeks were slightly red by the blush, and her hair was neatly braided.
In the middle of her bun, there
Rong Shuihe did not know what had happened those days. Therefore, seeing Sheng Weiqiao's gesture, Rong Shuihe rubbed his chin and muttered to himself, "Well, does sweetie mean that she wants me to send the jade hairpins early? If I send them late, she will give me hell?"He felt that they did have a mutual affinity. If not considering Senior Master Sheng's attitude, he would have looked all around to find Sheng Weiqiao as soon as he had arrived!Rong Shuihe did not know his imminent tragedy at all. He almost pulled through the following things including the return of Gongsun Yingjiang and Meng Shuangliao who were taken back by the Empress's servants, the arrival of Emperor Xuanjing and Shu Sisters, the greeting between those courtiers and the Royal Family led by the Empress Dowager, the courtiers' blessing to the Royal Family, the opening of the banquet, and the usual pleasantries at the beginning of the banquet... Finally, after several rounds of drinking,
Rong Shuihe slit his eyes. He looked up to see the two men, one tall and one short, stand nearby. The tall one seemed to be nigh on eighteen. He was in red, wearing a gold belt and a white jade coronet carved with the cloud. His face was familiar, and his clear complexion, which was typical of the privileged nobles, somehow reddened.He waddled towards them as he fiddled with his hand fan, and wine was smelt on his breath. Obviously, he was drunk.While the short one was near thirteen. His features resembled those of Princess Qingfang, and despite his effort to assume maturity, he manifested some kind of naivety. He was dressed in the uniform of a Marquis' Young Lord and on his neck was a silver torque to which a longevity lock was attached. He tugged the sleeve of the man in red, beckoning him not to cross the line.However, he didn't look friendly as he rested his eyes on Rong Shuihe. Precisely, his expression was a mixture of aloofnes
Empress Dowager Meng was now chatting with Consort Dowager Mo in the side hall.They had a squabble before several juniors just now, but privately, they weren't on bad terms. More precisely, they could never sever ties with each other. They were both the consorts of the Deceased Emperor who lived until now and was privileged because of a son whose family kept stirring up troubles... Honestly, they never trusted each other, and they would never come to a reconciliation.But they were the only ones who could understand each other.Therefore, they squabbled with each other, and they vied with each other, but they also talked intimately with each other when there was a truce.The Empress Dowager ridiculed Consort Dowager Mo, "See? I did give you an opportunity, but your daughter-in-law doesn't want your grandson to see you! Your incompetence shall take the blame, but not me!"Consort Dowager Mo said without looking
When Empress Dowager Meng heard that the Empress had come over, she was slightly stunned. It was not until Chi Zuosi threw her a meaningful glance that she understood it was Chi Zuosi who had sent someone over to inform the Empress."Bijun will sooner or later move to Xin Shou Palace. Since both the Emperor and I are getting old, it's essential to let her observe beside us as we deal with some matters. Just in case someday when we pass away, she's the only one to be in charge of such a big imperial harem. It may be awkward if she doesn't know how to deal with such matters." The Empress Dowager thought and frowned, saying, "It's enough that she just came alone. Why did she take a bunch of people with her, Kangzhao and Jiaxiang in particular...? This is actually thoughtless."Actually, Empress Meng was Empress Dowager Meng's niece and daughter-in-law. Though somewhat dissatisfied with her, Empress Dowager Meng still considered her feelings, saying immediately
In fact, Empress Meng and others stared at the fan Sheng Weiqiao held, saying, "Kangzhao, should I speak up for Prince Mizhen later? Anyway, they're on Gaomi King's side. Whoever prevails on this matter will be the same for our Meng Family."The reason why Empress Meng asked was that Rong Shuihe had grown up in the Sheng Family for several years no matter what he had gotten along with Sheng Weiqiao. Though she was forced not to stay so close to him now as the Sheng Family needed to stay away from the disputes of the imperial court, how could years of obsession disappear so quickly?However, before Sheng Weiqiao came here today, she was eager to see Rong Shuihe was in trouble. First impression was strongest. She thought that he was on a blind date with one of the Zhao Sisters. Now as she heard that it was on the date that he encountered the uncle and nephew of the Yuan Family and got provoked, she sneered immediately, "He's a frequent liar. Though he said wi
Rong Shuihe had already set his mind, so he directly walked to Princess Gaomi's side, pulled her sleeves and said, "Your Grace, it's not a big deal. Yuan Liujin just lost his temper after getting drunk. He was uncontrolled. Since you have already punished him, let's just forget it. Today is such a happy day. We can't spoil it because of such a thing."Princess Gaomi was originally very angry. When she heard that, she looked at him seriously. Confirming that he did not suffer losses and that he refused to pursue it, she said with a gentle expression, "You are so generous, so I will agree with you."But when she faced the boys from the Yuan Family, she suddenly changed a severe attitude with a cold face, "If you bully my son again, I will definitely punish you!"Yuan Liujin was helpless and forced to smile. He stopped Yuan Kai trying to help him. Princess Gaomi explicitly biased Rong Shuihe, so Yuan Kai might have no good consequences if he tried
Gaomi King thought this order was already benevolent because his son had been living outside for many years.In fact, Yuan Liujin was beaten to the point of vomiting blood. Yuan Kai was even punched and kicked by a manservant in front of the Zhao Sisters and other servants. Now, Gaomi King only wanted his son to expel his servant after simply punishment.After all, it was Yuan Liujin who provoked Rong Shuihe first. Gaomi King did care about his own son. So he thought that could be forgiven.But as the eldest son of royal Princess and Marquis, Yuan Kai was formally conferred as Young Lord of Huai Yuan Marquis. Now, he was bullied by a manservant. If this manservant got no punishment, Gaomi King would even be dissatisfied with the grievance of his grandson, not to mention the Yuan Liuguang couple cared about their son.After hearing that, Rong Shuihe sneered and stared at him coldly for a while. He said, "Xi has been with me since he
With eight branches of river running through the area, Shanglin Palace was blessed with abundant water and vegetation.However, all the branches paled in comparison with Chunbo Lake, which covered the broadest area among the whole waterscape.Unlike its name, Chunbo Lake was far vaster and far more majestic than a regular lake. One wouldn't be able to see the other side concealed behind the misty air without sharp eyesight.The wind from above the waves felt humid. The blank expanse of the water and the gulls and the reeds scattering in the view composed a vivid picturesque scene."I'd rather call it sea!" In fact, even the nobles who toured in Shanglin Palace had no access to the region on the fringe of the lake where the national navy encamped if Emperor Xuanjing didn't give them permission.Therefore, it was also the first time for Empress Meng and her nieces to spot the expanse of Chunbo Lake. Despite her concern o
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
