The man asked with a deep gaze, "Are there any activities after the banquet?"
The fat man thought about it for a second and said, "No. It's a plum appreciation meeting today. After the banquet, most of the women will leave!"
"Don't let it affect me!" The man's cold voice sounded fierce, low but frightening.
The fat man hurriedly said, "Don't worry!" His forehead had already begun to sweat. If this man really wanted to start today, it would be troublesome.
"Behave yourself!" The man snorted coldly, stood up, and strode out.
The banquet held in Duke Xing's Mansion was successful, apart from a small episode about Qin Yuru. Qin Yuru was not one of the famous Misses of aristocratic families in the capital. People thought what happened to her today was humiliating and thought that this young Miss had no personality.
But the whole matter did not influence the banquet in Duke Xing's Mansion. After all, nothi
"Who?" "Sister Qing Xue, it's Sister Qing Xue. She happened to walk pass the window. I saw her!" The servant girl was so anxious that she sweated all over her head. "Qing Xue?" "Yes, it was Sister Qingxue. When Sister Xiu'er was talking to me, Sister Qing Xue happened to pass by. I saw her walking very slowly, and she looked in through the window. She would have seen me taking the hairpin from Sister Xiu'er's hand!" The servant girl seemed to be fighting for her life as she said in dismay. "Is there anything else?" Qin Wanru lowered her head and meditated. "Nothing else!" The girl servant thought for a second and shook her head. "Then go and take it to Nanny Dong!" Qin Wanru suddenly smiled, her red lips slightly raised. "Miss!" Yujie was also stunned for a moment, and let go of the servant girl. Qin Wanru softly said as her eyes fell on the girl servant, "Deliver the hair
Ning Xueqing? Was this Ning Xueqing, who secretly slept with Qin Wanru's first fiance in the last life? Qin Wanru still had not figured out the reason for her first engagement. Some of the memories about the engagement were lost, but Qin Wanru remembered that her first engagement seemed to be related to an accident. To hush up a scandal, it was hurriedly arranged for her to be engaged with the man. Qin Wanru concluded later events that Ning Xueqing was the cousin of her fiance Wang Shengxue, and there would've been a long-term relationship between them. The reason why Wang Shengxue postponed the wedding was that he was a libertine. He flirted not only with Ning Xueqing, but also other women, and he did not intend to marry Ning Xueqing. Madam Di and Madam of Duke Xing must have framed Qin Wanru and forced her to be engaged with Wang Shengxue. Wang Shengxue was Duke Xing's nephew. He felt honored when Madam of Duke Xing found a m
"Didn't you say you are cousins?" The young male servant was stunned for a moment, as if he did not understand why Qin Wanru did not know the Heir of Duke Yong. Yujie cleverly explained, "Our young lady is Miss First Ning's cousin, but she has nothing to do with Duke Yong's Mansion!" "Oh, I see!" The young male servant thought he had understood it. Qin Wanru was a relative of First Miss Ning's mother, while the Heir of Duke Yong was the relative of First Miss Ning's father, so it was possible that Qin Wanru did not know the Heir of Duke Yong. Qin Wanru asked again, "Does a few days ago mean half a month ago?" "Yes, half a month ago. Alas, it was annoying and she seemed to be dying at that time!" The young male servant shook his head with a mature look. "Can I go to Ning's Mansion directly from here? I just arrived in the capital, so I don't know the way!" Qin Wanru showed a modest smile and changed the topic.
The man helped a woman down from the carriage. Then the woman stood beside the carriage and seemed to say something to the man. At first glance, one could know that the two were passionately in love. It seemed that they had a lot to say, so they stood there and talked for a while, after which the woman slightly turned her head, looking pretty delicate. The man seemed to be leaving, but the woman gently pulled his sleeve and refused to let him go! Then they seemed to talk for a while. After that, when the woman wanted to talk again, the man got impatient and was about to leave. But this time, he was grabbed by the woman again. The woman turned her head and whispered in the man's ear. Although they could not see the expression on her face in the distance, her manner and demeanor let people know that the woman was coquettish at this time. After that, the woman covered her face and went to the door. The man behind looked very happy and laughed l
Qin Yuru would not have done this if she had known about the matter. In her last life, she had allowed Ning Caixian to marry into the family because she had no other choice. As for how Ning Caixian, together with Qin Yuru, framed her because she wanted to gain something from it and had no other alternatives, Qin Yuru had decided to endure it and let it go since this was insignicant compared to winning Madam of Duke Xing's favor. Anyway, Ning Caixian was going to marry into Duke Yong's Mansion no matter what happened. Madam Di was aware of this matter. Given that Madam Di was out to get her, she would naturally make use of any resource she could lay hold of. Since Ning Caixian was harboring ill intentions against Qin Yuru, there was not stopping Madam Di making use of her! Since Nanny Zhou was capable of hinting to the cousin that she was the reason Di Yan and her could not be together, Ning Caixian would definitely try to tackle her by entering the mansio
Qing Yue blinked and blinked again. She could not believe the person before her eyes was her young mistress. Where had her delicate and pretty young mistress gone? She turned to look at Yujie as if she was waiting for an explanation. Yujie smiled at her helplessly and interrupted her delusion, saying, "This is the young mistress!" "Miss, why are you... you taking things too hard... if you are clueless about how to dress up, let, let your servant girls help you!" said Qing Yue with a sullen expression. Having the mystery solved by Yujie, Qing Yue's imagination had been shattered. She thought that Qin Wanru was trying to dress herself up to look prettier, but ended up looking terrible because she had no dress sense. "Doesn't this look good?" asked Qin Wanru as she used her hand to brush her thick fringe to the side to see Qing Yue more clearly. Not only did Qing Yue found Qin Wanru's thick fringe glaring, it also bl
"This, this screen is my grandmother's favorite!" said Di Yan helplessly. He did not think much of the matter until he saw the broken screen and he frowned. "This screen is indeed my maternal grandmother's favorite. When I went to visit her the other time, she even talked to me about it. Seemingly it belongs to my maternal grandmother's family in the past!" Qin Yuru curled up the corners of her lips and cast a mocking look at Qin Wanru as she continued saying, "Second Younger Sister, this is going to serious!" Obviously Qin Yuru had not gotten over her rage and at this moment, everyone was objectionable to her. Qin Wanru did not bother about Qin Yuru's comment, but fixed her eyes on Di Yan and said, "Master Di, how about I follow you back to Duke Yong's Mansion and speak to your grandmother so we could get everything clear?" "This... actually that is not necessary!" Di Yan pondered for a moment and decided that it would be maki
"Cousin, is there a cousin in your mansion?" Qin Yuru looked up at Di Yan, trying to hide her curiosity. She had been in the capital for a while, but she didn't see any cousin in Duke Yong's Mansion and thus she never asked before. "Nope, she had left a long time ago!" Di Yan's heart skipped a beat, and he turned his head away in guilt, pretending to examine the broken frame of the screen. "Gone?" "When did she leave?" Instinctively, Qin Yuru sensed something fishy. She was still smiling, but her eyes were full of doubt. Di Yan coughed. "Before you came. She left for something at home!" "She left before I came, why didn't I know about it?" At this time, Qin Yuru was sure this was not a matter as simple as it seemed. Though she was furious, her expression became even more gentle. "It's not a big deal. She used to come occasionally to visit my mother and would stay for a day or two." Di Yan felt more and more uncomf
"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
