A Young Madam at the door of the teahouse glared at Yujie and said angrily, "Catch her."
The two old maids following her took two steps forward, held Yujie's hands on each side, and tried to hold her down. Yujie struggled desperately and said, "This is the lantern that I took a fancy to first. Not only are you meddling in my business, but you also try to snatch the lantern. This belongs to our master. How dare you snatch it!"
Yujie pulled the two old maids so hard that one of them could not stand steadily. She took a few more steps forward and bumped into her master.
The Young Madam was knocked down and almost fell, looking embarrassed. She was so angry that her face turned livid. "Beat her! Beat her hard!"
She had never been so aggrieved as to be embarrassed by a servant girl.
"Miss... we are in the capital city..." The wet nurse who followed her hurried forward to persuade her when she saw that the situation w
Shao Wanru sat upstairs and watched Infanta Yuan'an's servant girl get on the carriage and then watch the carriage leave. After that, she picked up the teacup at hand, took a sip, and slightly smiled.There sounded footsteps. Yujie and Qing'er entered the door one after the other. Seeing Yujie's messy hair bun, Shao Wanru couldn't help laughing.She had been well-prepared as she instructed Qing'er to comb Yujie's hair.After tidying herself up, Yujie stepped forward and said aggrievedly, "My Lady, that Miss is really arrogant. She is very rude and ruthless. Her clothes don't look like the style of the capital. I don't know where she came from. How could she be so rude?" She reached out to pull her clothes.It had only been a short while, and her clothes were torn apart."Well, just let it go," Shao Wanru said indifferently. She had asked Yujie to spot and make use of a savage-looking man to make some trouble. Sh
Infanta Yuan'an thought for a moment and asked, "Your Highness, do you still want to see Prince Yue?""So what if I see Prince Yue? He can't really marry me. I heard that he is deeply in love with the Young Madam of Prime Minister Zhang's Mansion now. Because he is worried about her, he goes to see her every day," Princess Yuyan said angrily, feeling jealous. Chu Liuyue had expressed his affection for her that day, but why hadn't he come to see her yet?She was still looking forward to Chu Liuyue's visit."Your Highness, Prince Yue will never marry you." Infanta Yuan'an sighed and reminded Princess Yuyan.Princess Yuyan's face was livid and cold. She said disdainfully, "Prince Yue doesn't matter to me. It's not like I'll have no one else besides him!"Infanta Yuan'an's heart skipped a beat. "Is the dissolute Princess Yuyan into Prince Zhou again?""Your Highness, although Prince Yue can't marry you,
E'niang had been waiting in the living room for a while. It had been almost two hours, but Great Elder Princess had not sent anyone to say anything. She couldn't help feeling confused and even a little hesitant.It was very quiet in the room. She was alone, and there was no one outside the window. But she knew that there were two servant girls standing at the door. She might not be able to leave now.In fact, she was indeed too reckless to come over today. At this time, Great Elder Princess did not see her, which made her relieved.The door was suddenly pushed open. Seeing Shao Wanru's delicate face behind the door, E'niang inexplicably panicked and took two steps back subconsciously. She would rather see Rui'an Great Elder Princess than see Princess Chen.Compared with Rui'an Great Elder Princess, Princess Chen was more difficult to deal with. Although she was at such a young age, no one could tell what she was thinking abo
Seeing the earrings in Shao Wanru's hands, Nanny Gao suddenly cried out in a low voice, "These... these are..."Rui'an Great Elder Princess looked sad, but she wasn't agitated. She murmured, "These are your mother's... your mother's earrings..."After she said that, her eyes turned red. She hurriedly turned her head to hide the gaffe in her eyes."Grandma, my mother's pair of earrings was not on the list given by Marquis Xing's Mansion at that time. They said that it was lost!" Shao Wanru said."Maybe... maybe it was lost, or it was awarded to some servant girl!" Seeing her daughter's relics, Rui'an Great Elder Princess was very sad and couldn't suppress the grief in her heart. She kept thinking of her daughter only. She seemed to see her daughter still looking at her coquettishly and acting like a spoiled child in front of her."Great Elder Princess, it's not like that... It's not like that..." Nanny Gao had be
Shao Wanru didn't wait long. Coincidentally, Zhao Xiran sent someone to tell her that Old Madam was in poor health.Although Old Madam had done a lot of bad things to Shao Wanru, which was known by the people in the capital city, Shao Wanru had to go to Marquis Xing's Mansion to see her because of her filial piety.Judging from the message, it seemed that Old Madam was dying.Even though this elder had treated Shao Wanru badly, disliked her, and never took her seriously, she was still her biological grandmother. Shao Wanru had to go to see her.Shao Jing firmly believed this, and Shao Wanru was also aware of it.No matter how fierce the conflict between her and Old Madam was, she had to pay a visit to her at this time.Of course, Shao Wanru didn't take the message of Old Madam dying seriously. Old Madam was extremely selfish, so it wouldn't be a problem for her to live for a few more years. Whenever
Hearing that Chu Liuchen also came over, Shao Jing went to the door and opened the main door to invite him in.Chu Liuchen got out of the carriage first and then reached out to help Shao Wanru get down carefully.The corners of Shao Jing's eyes twitched, and he felt inexplicably uneasy. It was really unexpected that Chu Liuchen would come over. He always felt that something was wrong."Your Highness, please go ahead and have tea!" Shao Jing reached out to lead the way."No, thanks. I'll go to see Old Madam first!" Chu Liuchen said with a faint smile and deep eyes."Okay... okay!" Shao Jing couldn't refuse this. Chu Liuchen was Shao Wanru's husband, so it was not strange for him to want to see Old Madam.Shao Jing winked at the servant beside him. The servant understood and hurriedly retreated to the side. Then, he rushed into the inner courtyard to report the news. Prince Chen accompanied Shao Wanru
Shao Jing was talking with Chu Liuchen outside. When he saw Shao Wanru coming out, he asked with a smile, "Have you finished talking so soon? How is your grandma?""Old Madam has fallen asleep!" Shao Wanru said.Nanny Yu followed her out and bowed to Shao Jing. "Your Grace, Old Madam wants Princess Chen to ask Second Madam for something."They had already discussed it, but Shao Jing was a little hesitant now.Chu Liuchen came with Shao Wanru, which imperceptibly increased Shao Wanru's bargaining chip. Shao Jing didn't expect Chu Liuchen to really care about Shao Wanru so much. Since that was the case, it would bring trouble to his plan.But now he was in a dilemma. If he plotted against Shao Wanru, it would damage Shao Wanru's reputation. At that time, he would stand out for her and support her. Even if everyone knew that Madam Jiang's matter had something to do with Shao Wanru, it would not cause any sensations
"Everyone knows that Shao Yanru is dead. You should have another trusted subordinate outside the Palace, right? You can ask them about it. It's not a secret," Shao Wanru continued.Madam Jiang suddenly raised her head and looked at Shao Wanru with hatred. "That's impossible. Ru'er WILL be indescribably noble. How could she die?""Indescribably noble?" Shao Wanru smiled sarcastically and said slowly, "If you mean the title of Secondary Consort, I'm sorry that you'll have to be disappointed. No one will think that the Secondary Consort is indescribably noble."Her attitude was extremely disrespectful. Her long eyelashes fluttered twice, and there was a trace of leisure in her eyes. She looked at Madam Jiang as if she were looking at a clown.Her expression and behavior drove Madam Jiang crazy with anger. She had always looked down on Shao Wanru and even felt that her life and death were in her hands. At that time, she didn't k
"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
