“Qi Jiulu has stayed in Lai Cui Building for a few days.” Gongxiang Xiao didn’t look at Yun Fenghuang. He touched his nose and said awkwardly, “My father is very busy in handling the issue about Mr. Lingshan and does not have time to arrange for him... I, I haven’t been busy recently, so I get closer to him. Last time, I came close to the bottom in the guessing game. I knew that Qi Jiulu is good at it, so he was brought to the palace today to help me to win... I did not expect that Yuan Songlai was also here.”
Then he quickly glanced in the direction of Yun Fenghuang and said, “I also didn’t expect that Pin Yun would come here at that moment.”
Emperor Chunjia said lightly, “So, everything is a coincidence?”
“I do not think so.” Gongxiang Xiao heard the words and then shook his head. He said, “I think Yuan Songlai is been used. Although Yuan Songlai is not very smart, he would not embarrass you in public.”
Wang’s Family spread to th
When they arrived at Yan Fu Palace, Yun Fenghuang, stopped thinking and walked in after Emperor Chunjia.“My Majesty!” Empress Ji, who received the news that the Emperor would come to her, came out to greet him, glanced at Yun Fenghuang, immediately smiled and asked the Emperor, “Is there anything wrong in Hu Zhu Palace?”Emperor Chunjia said, “It is about Pin Yun.”He repeated what he had said in Qing Ci Palace and took a sip of tea, “I think that since the matter has been reported to the Empress Dowager, I should also tell you.”“Is that real?” Empress Ji was slightly surprised, as if she hadn’t heard of it at all, and frowned. “That’s really my fault. After listening to Noble Consort Shu’s report, I agreed without checking it...”The Emperor was probably afraid that Noble Consort Shu would be involved, so he said, “In fact, this is not a big deal. After all, Pin Yun and Mr. Qi had a marriage contract when they were
“Shizi, My Lord asks you in.” In front of the study of Prince Regent’s Mansion, a reading attendant slightly bowed his head and opened the door for the young man in fine clothes in front of him.Gongxiang Xiao took a deep breath quietly before striding forward.This study was where the Prince Regent handled official business and discussed with his confidantes for political issues, so it was very spacious.Entering the door was a Hua Hall with tables, chairs, a set of tea sets, potted plants and antiques. People could take an occasional break here. Lifting the bead curtain after the Hua Hall, one could enter the study.The Prince Regent was also famous for that he had been studious since he was young. His status was distinguished. There were many books in this study. There were bookshelves made of yellow pear wood around. There were many books on these bookshelves engraved with floral scrolls.In a slightly rear positio
Yun Fenghuang was in an awkward position, “Not to mention that it is Noble Consort Gui who sends you here to serve Jie Yu Yue. Even if Jie Yu Yue did not need you, she would accept Noble Consort Gui’s kindness and would not harm you. Moreover, there are a lot of servants here. Perhaps Jie Yu Yue will not keep you here.”You had not even seen Yuan Lianniang yet, so why did you run out so hurriedly?“Perhaps Jie Yu Yue does not want to harm you. But you turn to me for help. Given what you just did, she will be angry and make trouble for you.” Yun Fenghuang thought.The maid did not get the implied meaning. Yun Fenghuang did not know if the maid was scared or she was not very clever. When the maid heard what she said, she was relieved and wiped her tears, and even asked in fear, “Is it real that I will be fine if I go back to the side hall right now?”“Hurry up and go back to the side hall. Do not let the servants in Ning Bing Hall fi
Nian Xuan had been much better after these days of recuperation. She could get up and walk around, but Yun Fenghuang was afraid that she would suffer from chronic diseases in the future and suggested that she should not be too tired. Therefore, Nian Xuan spent most of the time in her room.Hearing Yun Fenghuang’s words, Nian Xuan immediately checked her body up and down, but found nothing, guessing, “Maybe the cat just likes you? How about keeping it when it comes again? Zi Quan Hall has been unoccupied for a few days. When we cleaned it up before, Chen Zhu said that he had seen mice. After all, it’s no trouble to feed the cat on leftovers.”Yun Fenghuang knew that Nian Xuan always liked these kittens and puppies. Hearing that, she shook her head slightly and said, “We didn’t keep it before, so we don’t know its temper. Now, it behaves well, but it was fierce just now when His Majesty was there. If we keep it and it hurts others later, we will get troubles,
Yun Fenghuang was not surprised that something wrong would happen to Yuan Lianniang’s baby.In spite of that she had an abortion last time and therefore she was bound to suffer dangers this time, it would be unreasonable if she were safe in those ten months due to her bad temper.Unexpectedly, the people who hurt Yuan Lianniang acted so early when she hadn’t shown yet.Besides, Yun Fenghuang was implicated?As Yun Fenghuang thought this, she glanced at the furious crowd in front of her, saying, “It’s a big thing. Let’s visit Her Highness to figure it out. I also want to know who dares to fling mud on me?!”“How is Jie Yu Yue now?” After they boisterously arrived at Yan Fu Palace, upon hearing this news, Empress Ji frowned, asking, “Did imperial doctors go there?”Yun Fenghuang said, “Your Highness, I was invited by Jie Yu Wei to Yi Jia Palace in the afternoon, and then was blocked at the door when I return
“Fu Ren Yaoning and Jie Yu Lu are out of luck this time.” Yun Fenghuang gently shook the fan and said slowly to Xi Jing and Xi Le at Zi Quan Hall, “Since Her Highness grounds me here, she obviously made up her mind to investigate thoroughly. I didn’t do it, and Her Highness was more innocent. Nobel Consort Gui who is pregnant should not do it. Therefore, there are few people who are able to buy off the maid of Yan Lan Palace…”They were Noble Consort Shu, Consort Xin and Fu Ren Yaoning.Among them, Noble Consort Shu was a collaborator of Empress Ji because Noble Consort Gui was pregnant. Since Noble Consort Gui was safe now, the Empress would not agree to let Noble Consort Shu be a scapegoat. As for Consort Xin, as the daughter of the leader of upright officials, she always led a peaceful life and everyone knew that well.Compared with Yuan Lianniang who was notorious for being arrogant and Noble Consort Gui who was the daughter of the powerful
“How could I lie about such a big thing?” When Yun Fenghuang was guessing, at Mian Fu Palace which was brightly lit, Queen Mother Ji, who had slept but was hurriedly wakened up by the maids, coldly stared at the concubine in colored clothes kneeling on the ground.Jie Yu Lu was relatively young among the concubines who joined the Imperial Harem when the Emperor got married, and was in her 20s this year. Although she was one of the hostesses with her adoptive father Marquess Qingping as a backer, she was not largely invisible and was always ignored by others.That her family background was relatively inferior among those concubines was one of the reasons and the other one was about her appearance.Jie Yu Lu had an infant name called Qidao. She was fair-skinned, and had a good set of facial features which looked beautiful when being viewed separately but quite ordinary together.Even with the delicate makeup, she was still invisible
Among the five islands in Tai Ye Pool, Small Fang Hu and Small Ying Zhou occupied the largest areas. As roads in Small Fang Hu twisted and turned and the land was not spacious, it was not a suitable place for holding grand banquets.In contrast, Small Ying Zhou was endowed with a flat ground which was big enough to accommodate those people participating in the summer banquet.When people and Empress Dowager arrived at the pier not far from Yan Fu Palace, several pleasure-boats had been waited for a long time. It could be seen that those boats were not used for a long time and were dressed up temporarily. The paint was bright and some incense were used for covering the odor of the paint. At this moment, though they did not approach, they already smelled a strong aroma of the incense.As Empress Dowager was older, she frowned slightly.Queen Mother Ji also covered her nose with a veil and looked at the Empress reproachfully, “Even if
