Qin Yuru came over with Countess Yong and met several Young Mesdames' friends and their brothers on the way, so she walked in with a crowd.
Meanwhile, Qin Wanru looked around carefully while walking. In addition to female guests, she saw several handsome children. The banquet hadn't formally begun, and there were many people talking in pairs and trios.
Her long eyelashes fluttered. Taking in the scene in front of her, she realized that both female and male guests had been invited to this banquet. Nevertheless, the male guests were all teenagers and young children. She was wondering who received the male guests in Great Elder Princess Rui’an's Mansion.
She heard that Great Elder Princess Rui’an was the only master in her mansion. There were no men outside taking care of the male guests.
"Young Lady of Qin's Mansion, I heard that your sister also came. Is it true?" someone asked Qin Yuru. Qin Yuru had known several Young Mesdames
It happened so suddenly that nobody could respond in time. Qin Wanru reached out to grab something. Feeling her wrist brush somebody’s clothes, she grabbed them and pulled. Someone else reached for her and pulled her upright."Di Fenglan, what were you thinking?" said the brightly dressed girl who had pulled Qin Wanru up. She was dressed in red clothes which flattered her complexion. The red was a bit tawdry, but it made her look energetic. She still held Qin Wanru’s hand, glaring at an unfriendly looking girl.The girl who had crashed into Qin Wanru work a colorful peacock blue dress with gold brocade. She was extremely eye-catching, but there was a hint of pride and disdain in her eyes. Glancing at Qin Wanru and the girl in red clothes, she pulled up her sleeves, patted it gently, and then raised her eyes arrogantly."Yan Xulan, I accidentally fell down. Does it have anything to do with you? Why are you so angry? What's the prob
"Mother!" Di Fenglan whined, stamping her foot.Counting on the power of being Zhaoyi Di's favorite niece, Di Fenglan had always been arrogant. She’d certainly never been taunted by a little girl."Let's go!" Countess Yong looked at Qin Wanru's small figure and frowned. She’d come off a little too aggressive just now, which let the little girl take the upper hand. At the thought of Madam Di's request, she sighed inwardly. What had happened just now showed her family's hostility towards Shui Ruolan and Qin Wanru in front of everyone. The little girl was crafty. It was no wonder that Madam Di had always been in a disadvantageous position. Countess Yong had always been shrewd. Although Qin Wanru had embarrassed her, she calmed down after resting for a while. After walking a few steps with the crowd, she even chatted with some Mesdames beside her and told some jokes. At the moment, she was talking and laughing with no h
Qin Wanru and Shui Ruolan followed the old maid through several corridors and came to a yard. The old maid went inside to report, and left Qin Wanru and Shui Ruolan waiting on the porch. After a while, the old maid asked them inside with a smile. Qin Wanru walked inside behind Shui Ruolan, totally focused on the present. There were quite a few girl servants and old maids standing in two orderly rows, but they were silent. She could tell that there were strict rules in Great Elder Princess Rui’an's Mansion. With so many people in the house, she could only hear them breathing. After entering the house, Shui Ruolan first made a salute to Great Elder Princess Rui’an, who was sitting on the couch in front of them. Qin Wanru immediately stepped forward to make a salute. "Sit down!" Great Elder Princess Rui’an looked at Qin Wanru with a smile and reached out to wave at her. Qin Wanru stepped forward and was
What he said was both arrogant and domineering. Even if the child had a beautiful face, he had a disgusting personality. The stone flew past Qin Wanru's ear. Qin Wanru did not expect that such a beautiful child to suddenly hit someone so impulsively. She did not resist, but only felt a strong wind blowing in her ear. She reached out to touch it and felt a numb pain on her earlobe. The stone must have hit her earlobe. Yujie came over to see and screamed, "Miss, your ear is bleeding!" Her tender white earlobe became red, and there was a small wound from where the blood dripped slowly. Qin Wanru held the handkerchief to her earlobe, but still smiled. "Why are you so fierce?" The boy was arrogant before, but he didn't mean to be hit someone. He stared, trying to cover his guilt."It is none of your business!" he said, swallowing hard. "Fine. I will leave you alone. You’re just
The remote corner was really isolated. After a long time, when the child's wet nurse didn't show up. Qin Wanru was sure the wet nurse deliberately ran away. Since it was getting late, she patted the child's back."Time to get up!" she whispered.The boy seemed to be sleeping very comfortably, so he twisted his body, turned his head aside, and continued to cling to Qin Wanru in his sleep. He was incredibly cuteQin Wanru smiled and reached out to pinch his small nose and continued to call him. This time, the boy couldn't sleep, so he opened his sleepy eyes, looking at Qin Wanru somewhat confused. He did not know where he was for a moment. His big eyes blinked, then he revealed a clever smile, which was completely unlike the little bully from before. "Let's go to have a meal!" Qin Wanru's hand fell from his nose and gently pinched his tender, fat, white face. "Sister!" The boy muttered and wiped his tears
"Young Madam, I don't know which family you are from, but this is the residence of Great Elder Princess Rui’an. Not just anyone can seize me!" the stout old woman cried out. Seeing that Qin Wanru had no intention of releasing yet, she began to struggle again. However, Yujie, who was holding her, was strong and twisted her arms fiercely behind her. "You are from the mansion of Great Elder Princess Rui’an?" Qin Wanru looked the old woman up and down and her eyes fell on her tight clothes. The old woman servant robes were several sizes too small for her. She loosened the toggle-and-loop button around her neck, revealing a white coat inside. It was not a way any decent woman would want herself to be seen.When Qin Wanru entered the gate before, she had seen the professional behavior of the servants in Great Elder Princess Rui’an's mansion. Two rows of servants had stood beside the door, and, even with so many people, they did not ma
"Your child should be trained!" Di Fenglan said angrily.The hand Yujie was grasping hurt. She did not notice that the several ladies around her had stepped back respectfully. "The child in my mansion should be sent to Duke Yong's mansion to learn from Miss Di!" The person behind Di Fenglan snorted. Di Fenglan heard clearly this time and froze, stunned. She looked at Qin Wanru, who was watching with pursed lips. She turned her head and saw Great Elder Princess Rui’an, surrounded by a large group of madams and young ladies. Immediately, she drew back her hand, frightened. She stuttered, "Rui'an...Great... Great Elder Princess!" When Hao'er saw Great Elder Princess Rui’an, he released the hand of Qin Wanru, and rushed up to Great Elder Princess Rui’an. "Grandma!" When she saw that her grandson was fine, Great Elder Princess Rui’an's tight face relaxed and she reached out to h
"Miss Yan!" Qin Wanru looked back and saw Yan Xulan smiling and walking to her. "Can we walk together?" Yan Xulan asked. She smiled and pointed to a gravel road. "Alright!" Qin Wanru nodded. After everything, she still just walked away casually. Great Elder Princess Rui’an was going to deal with her grandson's affairs now. The rest of the uninvolved people left in twos and threes. Many people strolled around and shared gossip, most of which was about the disgrace of Duke Yong's mansion. It was shameful to be dismissed by Great Elder Princess Rui’an. Tonight’s events greatly weakened the reputation of Duke Yong's Mansion. "Second Miss Qin, do you know much about the child you were with?" Yan Xulan found Qin Wanru pleasant looking, so stayed to talk to her. "Not much. Who is he?" Qin Wanru was also quite curious. In her last life, she got no news and knew very
"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
