"We have to accept the gift!" Madam Dowager heaved a sigh, her smile fading away. "I also know about the previous actions of Madam of Duke Xing. It seems that she has colluded with that side, wanting to deal with your mother and you. I just don't know why that side agreed to collude with this madam!"
Madam Dowager's expression was a little cold.
No one was stupid. Be it about Nanny Sheng's matter on that day or the family members that Shui Ruolan's ex-husband Qin Huaiyong found, Madam Dowager knew about them all. So, how come she did not know about the unfriendly intent of Madam of Duke Xing?
She was also very wary of Madam of Duke Xing.
Although Nanny Sheng came to send gifts today, Madam Dowager did not intend to accept them, after she knew about this matter.
She was not sure if the Madam of Duke Xing would do such a thing for Madam Di!
"Grandma, so why did you accept the pair of bracelets?" Qin Wa
"Madam, will others know this?" Countess Yong looked at Madam of Duke Xing frightenedly with a tea cup in her shaking hand. "Absolutely, no!" said Madam of Duke Xing leisurely. With her pinkie up, she slowly reached out and took the tea cup from the table, and sipped. As putting down the cup slowly, she said, "If you dare not do that, that's fine. Anyway, this event will affect only your mansion. I have nothing to do with this." "But, I..." As there were no others here, Countess Yong looked a little bit pale, wondering whether she could make it. "Fine, just let it go. You know, it will only be a little bit detrimental to the virtue of your mansion now. Fortunately, your Duke Yong's Mansion is not going to fall down and you can still have a bright future. Then you need to do good to make merits for you future generation. By the way, your eldest son is not a kid now, is he? When will he get married?" Madam of Duke Xing asked with
Although Qin Wanru still was a child, she was more slender than before and looked like a woman now. The dress even highlighted her advantages and sent out her mature charm, making others feel that she had grown up. In fact, it wasn't the best time of a girl but Qin Wanru's gorgeous look still amazed others! After their amazement, those servants turned to focus on the dress! "Madam Dong is really good at clothing collocation! It is perfect!" Qingyue continued to praise. "The whole outfit is perfect! I suppose that the clothes made by Butterfly Clothing Shop could sell well! Then we will make a lot of money!" Yujie's eyes narrowed as smiling brightly, seeming that she had seen the view that Butterfly Clothing Shop was so busy and many people were paying for those clothes! "The last owner of this shop gave us these clothes. I will let Madam Dong contact the master and ask him where he purchased them. Then we can purchase more!" St
Since Qin Wanru said that, Yujie and the coachman had to pull the old beggar up and hurriedly took him to the hospital, trying to quickly finish this by losing money to buy safety. However, when they were not halfway there, the throng of carts which should be still suddenly moved. Someone shouted that the road was unblocked. Yujie's face changed and she suddenly pushed the old beggar to coachman's side and said, "I want to check if Lady is alright!" Then she turned around and was about to leave. Relatively speaking, Yujie reacted very promptly but a wildly running horse reacted more quickly. Soon, it came up from the corner where they just stood and dashed to Qin's Mansion's cart! "Lady!" Yujie screamed while running madly to their cart! The coachman also pushed the old beggar away and ran quickly after Yujie. Finding that something was wrong, the other cart drivers quickly turned their horses around
"It, it is Prince Zhou's horse!" Being shocked, Xiao Xuanzi dared not to conceal it and said with sweat dripped from his head. "Liuzhou's horse?" "Yes, it is Prince Zhou's horse. Just now I sent someone to find out, and it is said that Prince Zhou's new horse was not trained well, so today he took this horse out for a walk. But unexpectedly, this horse got panic when it saw so many people on Zhuque Street and ran away. Thus it accidentally hit Second Miss Qin's carriage, and almost hurt Prince..." Having said this, Xiao Xuanzi looked at Chu Liuchen, who was lying on the bed with a ghastly pale face, and he could not say any more with a trembling voice! "Okay, fine. They just hate to see me treating Chen well and each of them wants to intervene. Someone, summon Prince Zhou!" Empress Dowager shouted loudly with anger. A Nanny retreated respectfully and went out to send someone to summon Prince Zhou, Ch
The room was very quiet, and the incense at the window, which could calm heart and tranquilize mind, curled upwards with a hint of slight sweet smell. In the bed, Chu Liuchen closed his eyes, but it could be seen that he did not fall asleep. His handsome and delicate face was pale like snow. He frowned from time to time, but obviously he could not spare energy to say something. Empress Dowager tucked him in quilt and turned to Qin Wanru after a sigh. At this time, she started to look up and down at Qin Wanru. Perceiving Empress Dowager's gaze, Qin Wanru tightly held her head down with a little bit reserved look, and her long eyelashes shook several times uneasily. Nevertheless, whoever saw Empress Dowager for the first time, no girl would not become reserved. "Are you the second daughter in Ningyuan Army General's Mansion?" Empress Dowager asked in the voice which was not high, but quite serious. "Report to Empres
"She is really quite small!" The Empress Dowager nodded her head and fell her eyes on the delicate and dignified small face of Qin Wanru. Then she turned back and looked at the Chu Liuchen lying on the bed. Until now, he was still lying still. She could not help but sigh in her heart. "You go back first. This thing is not in a hurry!" "Yes, mother, then I'll go back first!" the emperor said. Then he turned his feet and took his people out of the house. "You go too!" Empress Dowager said. Qin Wanru knew that this time she was talking to her. She answered with a low voice and then went out with Yujie respectfully. It was until she went out of the door that she sighed with a relief. "Second Miss Qin, please come with me!" A palace maid smiled and came to her with a salute. Qin Wanru nodded her head and followed the palace maid to one side. When she entered into a wing, she found the set of clothes she h
The palace maid brought Qin Wanru to the palace banquet. The palace banquet was set in a garden. From the entrance, there were pots of Tang Qianyan in full bloom everywhere. This time was not the period when Tang Qianyan should be in full bloom, but here and there were so many Tang Qianyan in varied and beautiful shapes in this garden. Inside the garden were many tents around, which shaped a half circle. In the center was a big flower terrace. Around the flower terrace were potted flowers, and in the middle of it, a large platform was packed. The platform was covered with a top, and the light yarns flew around the platform. There happened to be a large rockery at the back of the platform so only the front half of the circle left. The back of the tents was also enclosed. The small stoves inside were very warm. Although the front doors of the tents were opened to the middle flower terrace, it was not cold inside. Th
Wang Yishu said, while mysteriously pulling out a handkerchief seemingly with something in it. Qin Wanru had an intuition that she had seen the cloth. With her watery eyes slightly fixed, she had recognized it was the cloth from the clothes given to her by Madam of Duke Xing. The set of clothes was left in the Mansion of Rui'an Great Elder Princess, and Rui'an Great Elder Princess had told her not to wear it, because it violated the emperor's taboo. Was this Colorful Yarn? It had been exposed in an aroma and quite fragrant! Qin Wanru did not like using aroma and was very sensitive to aroma! "Miss Wang, where did you get this handkerchief?" Qin Wanru reached out to press Wang Yishu's hand in astonishment. "What's wrong?" Wang Yishu was dumbfounded and looked down at the handkerchief in her hand with a mocking smile. Qin Wanru was exactly a petty country girl as her aunt described. "I have a lot of them. If you like
"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
