Sheng Weiqiao thought about that for several days and still didn't have a chance to tell Rong Shuihe about her travel.
She expected that Rong Shuihe could take the initiative to contact her. However, Rong Shuihe was totally busy organizing the navy. Moreover, Princess Gaomi was so sorrowful that she was even out of condition when she knew his sufferings on Daimao Island.
Gaomi King and Rong Qingzhuo couple worried about her. But their comforts didn't work. So they had to ask Rong Shuihe frequently to visit Princess Gaomi.
Rong Shuihe didn't care about that at all. But Princess Gaomi often took the initiative to visit him due to her regrets. As compensation, she spared no efforts to show her concerns. Therefore, Rong Shuihe had no time to see Sheng Weiqiao.
Sheng Weiqiao didn't see Rong Shuihe even before the eve of departure. So she went to the Palace to say goodbye to Empress Meng with frustration.
The Empress
Sheng Weiqiao was scheduled to depart three days after she bid farewell to Empress Meng.Gongsun Xi had purposely concealed the fact that Li Shengxu would accompany her throughout the journey, but Rong Shuihe, who had been aware that she would set out very soon and thus had sent someone to spy on her, still got to be informed of the date of her departure.Hence, he worked day and night to sort out the affairs concerning Meng Guiyu's succession as Left General Weiwei and then impatiently started the preparation for his journey south.Normally, it wasn't easy for him to get permission to travel south, let alone involve himself in the enlistment of the Gongsun Family, for Gaomi King was adamant about keeping him under Princess Gaomi's care.However, Princess Gaomi had resented Gaomi King as if he had killed her son since she spotted the scars on Rong Shuihe's body and learned about his experience on Daimao Island. Now, she just
After Rong Shuihe departed, Princess Gaomi dropped her mask of tenderness and snapped at Gaomi King, "You never know to reject the wrong thing and consent to the right thing! Can you do something nice to Shuihe?! Sheng Weiqiao is a wild flippant girl, or she wouldn't have beaten Shuihe in the presence of the maids! Please, she isn't yet his wife! She is a disaster for her husband's family! I would have taught her a harsh lesson if the Sheng Family hadn't obliged us and brought up Shuihe!""Shuihe is young and facile. It's understandable that he insists on marrying that termagant. But why didn't you stop him?! Are you as facile as he is?!""Mixue, Shuihe is my son, at any rate. I won't like a girl who beats him before she's formally acknowledged as his wife for sure!" Gaomi King laughed bitterly and continued, "But as you know, Shuihe has an aversion to me! And he almost openly smashed his fist on me when we were in Shanglin Palace! Even you dare not
Having turned Rong Qingzhuo out of the study, Gaomi King paced back and forth with his hands clasped behind his back. Finally, he ordered, "Call over Huihe!"After a while, Princess Huihe was led into the room with a nervous but a little expectant look. She carefully saluted Gaomi King and extended her greeting. Then, she stood attentively and humbly on the right side with her hands down.However, from Gaomi King's perspective, her docility did not deserve any compassion or praise. He ordered her in a cold voice, "You go to find Qingfang tomorrow and tell her one thing. You just tell her that Shuihe adores Princess Kangzhao and has no interest in Zhao Sisters, and Princess Gaomi hasn't decided whether to tell the Zhao Family about that. However, you know that by chance and feel it improper, so you come and discuss this matter with her."When Princess Huihe heard Gaomi King saying that Shuihe adored Princess Kangzhao, her pupils suddenly
Having discussed for a while, Old Madam Ming and the three grandchildren still could not infer what had happened.Fortunately, at the lamp-lighting time, Senior Master Sheng in the chamber finally asked Old Madam Ming to take a basin of water for him.After a while, Senior Master Sheng tidied himself up and walked out of the room. Seeing him, Sheng Weide, Sheng Weiqiao, and Sheng Weirao quickly stood up to greet him. They peeked at him and found that his eyes were red, and there was gloom between his eyebrows.Seeing his three grandchildren, Senior Master Sheng asked casually, "Why are you here?" However, before Sheng Weide could answer, Senior Master Sheng continued, "Weiqiao will leave soon. You should get together more while she is still here."Hearing that, Sheng Weide just chimed in with what Senior Master Sheng said. Then, this matter passed.Early the next morning, Senior Master Sheng went to the Ningwei
Seeing that servants here stared at them with avid attention, Sheng Weiqiao took a deep breath and resisted the impulse to roll up her sleeves and punch him on the spot. Then, she sneered, "It is a good thing that you know that you are no fighting match for me. Then, you had better give serious attention to what you say and do. If you say or do the wrong thing, I will..."Li Shengxu thought to himself that as long as he was not alone, she would not have the nerve to beat him. Well, before he got on the ship, he had already been mentally prepared for not leaving his servants' side. Thus, he now felt reassured and emboldened. Then, he just arrogantly interrupted her, "What will you do? Do you dare to beat me in these guys' presence? Believe it or not, if you beat me, your parents and grandparents will then give you a scolding and force you to apologize to me."Seeing that he looked like the cat that swallowed the canary, Sheng Weiqiao remained silent f
After all, Rong Shuihe was from the Wuyi Battalion. Thus, he almost took off his upper garment in a flash. Sheng Weiqiao was only stunned for a moment. But then, when she woke up to reality, he had already thrown his upper garment onto the plank, which was placed right in front of the bed, exposed his muscular upper body that was covered with scars, and even put out his hand to his belt.Seeing that, Sheng Weiqiao held the jade pillow in the air and threatened him to stop undressing. Then, she asked with bitter anger, "How did you have my father, a shrewd judge of character, fooled? He should have been unaware that you had no sense of shame and let you become a member of Sheng Family!"Rong Shuihe said gently, "Sweetie, you should believe in your father. Do you still remember the man surnamed Xuanyu? When I first met him, he was badly beaten up by me. Then, his parents, he, and their servants all kicked the bucket. Well, he only asked a servant of Sh
Sheng Weiqiao angrily kicked Rong Shuihe away and walked up to the rope made out of the dress. She managed to climb up with the help of the string. And then, something terrible happened!Before that, she had slipped down the rope safely even though she was unfamiliar with the activity, which was mainly because the cabin was lower than the house onshore. Nevertheless, Sheng Weiqiao had fallen off guard from the third floor of a seagoing vessel which was more spacious than the towered ship sailing on the river, and she didn't get injured.However, she found that she was unable to climb up the rope to go back to her cabin no matter how hard she tried. She told herself that the b*st*rd might have laughed at her within himself when Rong Shuihe was looking at her from behind, so she wouldn't let him do it for entertainment. Despite what she thought, she still could not climb up with the help of the rope.She had never received any training, an
"Your Highness, what shall we do now?" The chief steward Sheng Tai sneaked to the third floor like a thief. Having greeted Sheng Weiqiao hurriedly, he said anxiously, "Yichun Marquis had been ill for many years. Although a doctor cured him in Chang'an at the end of last year, it would still take a long time before he could be fully recovered. Now he got a fever on our ship right after his recovery less than half a year ago.”Before Sheng Weiqiao could reply, Sheng Tai continued, "It was Yichun Marquis himself who wanted to go fishing and held the fish to see you. Now, the accident happened. It's not our fault. But the Grand Princess only had one son. If her son got into trouble, she would blame us for that.""What's your plan?" Sheng Weiqiao was woken up by Juli when she was in a sound sleep. She went out to see Sheng Tai after she washed and dressed up in haste. Until then, she was still a little dizzy and asked subconsciously, "Do we need to go bac
