"Rui'an great elder princess?" Qin Wanru was stunned and hurriedly stood up, ready to bow to her, but Rui'an great elder princess instructed Nanny Gao to stop her.
"Since your ankle is injured, you don't have to bow to me. I inexplicably feel that you are adorable when I see you. Our meeting today can be counted as predestined. Now that you’re in the capital means, you should join the circle of noble ladies. When the invitation from my family arrives, you and your mother can come together to my family!" Rui'an great elder princess stood up, speaking to Qin Wanru with a smile.
"Thank you, great elder princess!" Qin Wanru excitedly looked up and then bowed with Yujie as her support.
Qin Wanru was young, but she had manners, which made Rui'an great elder princess's impression of her become better and better. The princess didn't stop her from bowing this time and let her do it. After that, she pulled a bracelet from her wrist, took the hand of Q
After Chu Liuchen left, Qin Wanru found Madame Dong and let her go out with Wang Feng to see if there was a suitable store for tomorrow. She wanted to open a shop for embroidery and accessories in the capital city. Dong Xiuer's legs were much better because of Qin Wanru's recent diagnosis and treatment. Because of this, Madame Dong was so grateful to Qin Wanru and respected Qin Wanru very much. Hearing that Qin Wanru wanted her to go out to find a premises, she nodded quickly. But she also told Qin Wanru that this matter could not be done in a rush, and she needed to take her time to choose wisely. She also had just arrived in the capital, so she was not familiar with the workings of the capital. She first had to check out the road conditions, as well as the rent on various streets and the state of the shops on the streets. Only after this analysis could she decide where to choose. Also, she had to ask if anyone wanted to sell. She was afra
"What's going on here?" Qin Wanru's gaze fell on the brocades held by the two old women behind. The brocade which was supposed to be flat seemed to be wrinkled. Although it was not very obvious, Qin Wanru noticed it. "Just now... The Young Lady accidentally knocked it off." The supervisor of the sewing room answered while trembling with fear. Meeting the masters and having offended one of the masters, she dared not make any more mistakes. Otherwise, she would no longer be the supervisor of this sewing room. The servants in the mansion were also well-informed. They knew it was Madam Shui who was in charge of the mansion, not Madam Di. Qin Wanru was the daughter of Madam Shui, so she needed to offer better service than the Young Lady. "Thrown out by big sister?" Qin Wanru looked at the awkward face of the supervisor and smiled gently. "Yes!" After having eye contact with Qin Wanru's clear eyes which seemed to see t
The next morning, after Madam Di asked for the instructions of Old Grandma, she and Qin Yuru went shopping and bought lots of cloth and even ready-to-wear clothes, which were the most fashionable ones of the time. Qin Yuru had been smiling since she returned home. Dressed in the newly changed garment, she, along with Meixue and Meiyan who held some new-style cloth and clothes, entered the courtyard of Qin Wanru. As soon as she came in, she smilingly greeted Qin Wanru, "Second sister, come and take a look. I have brought you a stack of the most fashionable handkerchiefs that were trending in the capital. Their quality is really good, much better than the ones we used in Jiangzhou in the past. I once saw the daughters of our uncle used the ones of this quality." As she spoke, Qin Yuru asked Meixue to put the stack of handkerchiefs in her hands in front of Qin Wanru. Then, she spread these handkerchiefs with her hands, saying, "Second sister, l
"Is this the garment that Miss Qin sent to Second Miss Qin?" Qi Rongzhi shook it with her hands and stood up, and her two maids Chunyi and Chunxi hurriedly came over to measure the garment with her height. Obviously, it was short than for her. "Yes, it is Miss Qin and Madam who sent it to Second Miss Qin!" Yujie said courteously as if she had not yet noticed that the garment was short, looking calm and natural. "Is this dress prepared for Qin Wanru? She is so small and I am afraid she would be bagged into it!" Qi Rongzhi laughed, took the dress, and casually threw it on the table. "Go tell your Second Miss Qin, I cannot wear the garment, either." "Okay, I can take it back!" Yujie did not persuade her, either, and came over to take away the garment as she was told. "Wait!" Qi Rongzhi coldly said to stop her, "Since your Second Miss Qin doesn't like it, you can leave it here as a reference for me, so that I will know the dressing
"Huai, is the thing really related to the Marquis of Fengyang?" In the room lit up by candlelight, Old Grandma had not slept yet, frowning and sitting in the chair. "Yes, the thing is now in the hands of the Marquis of Fengyang, and the Ministry of Personnel cannot give me any tasks temporarily." Qin Huaiyong remained silent for a moment, his eyes looking very tired. Being a newcomer in the capital, he was not familiar with everything yet. The most annoying part was that he had arrived in the capital as ordered, but the specific tasks for him had not been decided yet. It was said that his work arrangement was being reviewed by the Marquis of Fengyang. As for how long it would take, it was hard to tell. "So, you will have to follow Mrs. Qin to attend the banquet of the Marquises' Mansion of Fengyang?" Old Grandma was a wise woman, and she became clear about his son's idea after hearing what he said. "Mother, now this is my only
"Madam, you still remember the Princess of Duke Yangqu, don't you? You know it was the Princess of Duke Yangqu who sent father the cart driver who intended to kidnap Miss Luo, don't you?" said Qin Wanru. She looked up at Madam Di directly. "The Princess of Duke Yangqu?" Madam Di's hand on the table trembled and the look on her face hardened. She had heard of the reputation of the Princess of Duke Yangqu when she was in the capital city. In a cold sweat, she knew this princess was not a woman to be trifled with. "Does it really concern me?" When in Jiangzhou, she only knew that the cart driver kidnapped the wrong person and it was a powerful Madam who sent the person to Qin Huaiyong. However, she had never recognized it was the Princess of Duke Yangqu from beginning to end. "When the Princess of Duke Yangqu saw me, she looked very unhappy, and asked about you especially. She also said she was eagerly looking forward to a great m
Nanny Zhou's news came quickly, and the cart driver disappeared on the first day of his arrival in the capital. It was said that many people had been tied up at that time, but only the cart driver disappeared. And he was not among those witnesses who were later sent to Duke Yong's Mansion. It seemed that he suddenly disappeared when he entered in the capital. Madam Di became really panicked. If this person was controlled by Qin Huaiyong, it would be okay. However, if he fell into the hands of other vicious people, it could be really troublesome. She had to find him. Qin Wanru had never thought of meeting Qi Rongzhi on the way. Her heart jumped slightly, seeing that the direction the latter was heading was clearly in Qin Yuru's direction. "Qin Wanru, your clothes are so ugly and short that I really can't wear them. Do they fit you well?" Qi Rongzhi stopped and waited for Qin Wanru to come. She was smiling. The word
The so-called Southern Palace, in fact, was also in the Imperial Palace, but it was not officially inside there. Actually, it lay to the south of the Imperial Palace and was a large mansion, or a large garden, closely adjacent to the Imperial Palace. As far as its status was concerned, it was far from the Eastern Palace. From the interior of the Imperial Palace, one could also enter the Southern Palace. In fact, the Southern Palace in the past was a quiet courtyard for summer vacations and leisure. As long as Chu Liuchen was still small but dethroned as the prince, he moved into the Southern Palace. Therefore, a sign was hung there that said Prince Chen's Mansion. In the last life, the sign of Prince Chen's Mansion was removed, and the title of Southern Palace was restored. In this life, although people all knew that it was now renamed Prince Chen's Mansion, many people in private still called it the Southern Palace. Because of
"Not yet. My leg just cramped up." Shao Wanru reached out to touch her calf, but her belly was too big to reach it.The Emperor reached out his strong hand and massaged her calf. The young and handsome Emperor breathed a sigh of relief. "Thankfully, you are not going to deliver the baby!"As soon as he said this, Chu Liuchen realized he had said something wrong. He hurriedly explained, "I didn't mean that. It's good that you are not delivering the baby now."After saying that, he realized that something was wrong again and laughed.Shao Wanru laughed so hard that she couldn't speak. Since when did Chu Liuchen, who was as scheming and gloomy as a demon king, could not even speak clearly?"You're still laughing. Did I say anything wrong?" Chu Liuchen glared at her. However, with an elegant smile on his face, he didn't look domineering at all.Shao Wanru continued laughing happily. After a while, she s
Everything in the past had a cause, but this cause was concealed in many mists, so it appeared unreal.After reading the letter in her hand, Shao Wanru put it down with a trace of a smile across the corners of her eyes. She had been relieved of some things. Once she hoped that Qin Huaiyong would treat her like Qin Yuru.This was what she hoped for most in her last life. After all, at that time, she had always thought that she was Qin Huaiyong's biological daughter, and she had no idea that her identity had been seized by Qin Yuru. Right now, Shao Wanru didn't want to mention it again. After the rebirth, she found out the truth and could not be reluctant to get close to Qin Huaiyong anymore.The memories of her last life were fading away, and they become blurred in her eyes.Putting down the memorial in her hand, Shao Wanru smiled with an elegant and calm look in her eyes. "Madam, please pass my gratitude to Ningyuan Army Gen
Shui Ruolan followed the Nanny who led the way ahead and felt uneasy. Since she came to the capital, she occasionally associated with some Madams from aristocratic families. She would not attend their parties unless it was necessary.On the one hand, she always had a weak character. On the other hand, every time she joined them, some Madams always asked about Madam Di intentionally or unintentionally. They were polite to Shui Ruolan on the surface, but they sneered at her behind her back when talking about her.People in the capital thought that Madam Di was Qin Huaiyong's legal wife. Shui Ruolan was a divorced woman. How could she compare with a decent Madam from an aristocratic family? Her status was much lower than Madam Di's. Of course, there were some people who flattered her. They were two-bit nobodies who wanted to curry favor with Qin Huaiyong.This was the first time Shui Ruolan had entered the Palace since she came to the capit
"Yes, Her Highness fainted. Hurry up... Inform His Highness to go to see her. Mingqiu Nun is also there... Hurry up!" Yujie was so excited that she spoke incoherently."Are you stupid?" Xiao Xuanzi looked at Yujie as if she were a fool."Quick! It's true. Believe me." Yujie was overjoyed and kept urging."His Highness will get angry," Xiao Xuanzi reminded Yujie.Yujie blinked her eyes in confusion. "Go quickly. His Highness will be happy.""His Highness will be angry!" Xiao Xuanzi said loudly. He thought that Yujie was out of her mind. What nonsense she was talking about! Xiao Xuanzi had seen with his own eyes how his master treasured Princess Chen. Princess Chen fainted now, but Yujie said that Prince Chen would be happy. What could he be happy for?Xiao Xuanzi felt a chill on his back. He even thought that he might not be safe. Instead, this silly girl was giggling here.Yujie looked
The swing swayed slowly. Shao Wanru sat on it and slightly narrowed her clear eyes in the sun, enjoying the gentle breeze. After a shower, the sky cleared up. Under the blue sky, she felt quite pleasant.It was the third day since the violent political upheaval in the Palace. Everything had returned to the right path, and the Emperor had woken up. The Fake Dead Medicine was remarkably effective.Chu Qing planned to kill the Emperor and shift the blame onto Chu Liuyue. In the end, he occupied the Palace, but at the last moment, Chu Liuchen changed the ultimate outcome.Chu Qing was not the deceased emperor's son. As the truth was exposed, he became a surviving supporter of the previous dynasty.Consort Dowager Qing had an affair with the prince of the previous dynasty on the run and was pregnant. After that, she met the deceased emperor, who had come to wipe out the rebels. She seduced him and entered the Palace. Not long aft
Chu Liuyue looked at the Emperor indifferently. During this period, the Emperor often vomited blood. He was used to such a scene. He fainted again, but so what?He walked up to pull the Emperor up and said, "Father, you'd better write it carefully so as not to cause me more trouble..."The next moment, his hand paused before the Emperor. Abruptly, Chu Liuyue reached out to feel his breath, and his face changed drastically."Your Majesty... Your Majesty..." Derong was terrified and looked at Chu Liuyue. Likewise, he reached out to feel the Emperor's breath and knelt on the ground in a panic. "His Majesty... passed away!"Chu Liuyue looked sullen and reached out to feel his breath again. He found it hard to believe that the Emperor would die of anger because of him. Although he had said he was not afraid of this result, it became more difficult for him to clear up such a messy situation when the Emperor died. Since he was in t
Lights of every palace in the imperial Palace went out at night. There was a great noise somewhere. When the first scream came, many people put on their clothes and lit the lights again.These women in the Palace looked ghastly pale. They wanted to hide elsewhere but couldn't find shelter in the darkness. They trembled and huddled together, not knowing what had happened. Anyway, it didn't sound like a good thing. How could such a lot of awful noise appear in the Palace? The first idea that came to many people was that a rebellion was happening.In the night, Zhaoyi Di hurriedly followed a eunuch carrying a lantern and went to a palace out of use.Chu Liuyue was sitting in the middle of the hall."Greetings, Your Highness!" Zhaoyi Di said."How is it going?" Chu Liuyue asked."Commandery Prince Cheng has taken some people to the Emperor's resting place!" Zhaoyi Di reported."Good, well d
"From the previous dynasty?" Shao Wanru looked up. Though she was surprised, she didn't show it. She had figured it out. But after confirming it, she was wide awake."Will the Empress Dowager be in danger? I'll go to the Palace every day in the next few days!" Shao Wanru suggested."No, it's too dangerous!" Chu Liuchen shook his head."It doesn't matter. I have helpers by my side and bracelets!" Shao Wanru reached out her hand and cutely shook it. There was a pair of glossy sapphire bracelets on her wrist. At a glance, they were not ordinary.Chu Liuchen said with his face darkening, "No!"Such a close-fitting concealed weapon should be the last resort. As long as he thought Shao Wanru would be in such a dangerous situation, he would not be at ease. "Let Qin Yiyan accompany my Imperial Grandmother!""But someone should accompany and protect Noble Consort Lan. If those people deal with her..." Shao W
"Master, there is something wrong with the sandalwood." Qi Jue pulled an incense stick out of the incense burner at hand.Chu Liuchen took it and frowned. "What's the problem?"Qi Jue replied with a serious look, "There is something added to it. If it is used for a long term, one will be mentally and physically exhausted, then lack strength, and spit out blood. If putting another ingredient into the medicine at this time, it is very likely to cause sudden death."On the bed, the Emperor leaned against Noble Consort Lan with a pale face. Just now, he spat out blood again, and he felt very uncomfortable all over.Noble Consort Lan stroked the Emperor hard while looking toward Chu Liuchen with her red eyes, but she did not speak."What was added?" Chu Liuchen asked sternly. He didn't trust the imperial physicians in the Palace, so he brought Qi Jue to the Palace. After entering the Palace, Qi Jue did not check the
