"Go away. You are so narrow-minded. No wonder Fifth Miss is angry." The voice in the Zen room became more and more relaxed, with a hint of distancing itself from the secular world. It could cleanse the filth in one's heart.
Just from the sound, one could tell that the person inside was a superior being who had a quiet temperament.
"Master, it is clear that they messed up and deliberately framed me. I beg you to testify for me!" The person kneeling at the door was Huiqing, who propped herself up and her face was teary and full of hatred.
"Idiot, there is no point in talking about this. Go sweep the floor properly. You cannot do this again!" Master Pu Shan's voice lowered as she murmured in a low voice.
Obviously, this meant that she no longer cared about Huiqing's problem.
"Senior Sister, please get up. Master never bothers about this sort of thing!" Huiming came out of the dark corner by the window and pulled her up as
"Mother, do I have to go with you?" Shao Yanru looked at Madam of Duke Xing with displeasure. She frowned slightly and looked arrogant. But even so, she was still a very beautiful Young Madam.Under her willow leaf shaped eyebrows, there was a placid look in her eyes. Although she had the proud air of aristocratic families, she was not the kind of person who made people detest her. They even felt that the woman in front of them was beautiful, elegant and attractive.No wonder everyone said that the First Miss Shao was talented and beautiful. Not only did she have outstanding talent, but she was also very beautiful. She had a rare kind of beauty."According to the Empress Queen's decree, you have to go at this age. You were in the Yuhui Nunnery before, but now you have to go after coming down from the mountain!" Madam of Duke Xing said helplessly and reached out to press her forehead. "It is all that b*tch's fault. She forced you to come down fr
The grand consort selection banquet soon ended.It turned out that nobody was eligible. Many ladies went there hopefully but left disappointedly. It was said that some of them even cried so badly that they couldn't walk out their mansion.Hearing that no lady was selected, Empress Dowager and the Queen made a decision that they would hold the selection again in the next few years, which meant that no lady of the right age from those aristocratic families was chosen this time.The result of not being selected meant that these ladies would miss the chance of marrying princes. Even though one or two ladies might be able to stay here, the majority had lost the final chance and had to rearrange their marriages. Several ladies who were from those grand and high-ranking families had not accepted any engagement before this banquet was held just because they attempted to marry these princes.Since most ladies had to marry other men, there h
"You want to murder me?" Chu Liuchen said slowly and eerily as his lips were close to Shao Wanru's cheek and licked her white and tender cheek.Shao Wanru now looked normal and her eyes were shining again. She glared at Chu Liuchen, gasping, "No!" She just wanted to get away with his control but what she did later was totally out of subconsciousness.Seeing the hatred vanish in Shao Wanru's eyes, Chu Liuchen took a cold glance at her and also laid beside her and snorted. "I know you don't dare!"Reaching out, he half cuddled Shao Wanru and said, "Tell me about Qi Tianyu. I don't allow your affair with Qi Tianyu to screw up my plan!"Shao Wanru closed her eyes and felt a little dizzy. As she still felt the back of her head was throbbing, she then rubbed lightly her head subconsciously."I have nothing to do with him. You saw what happened in Jiangzhou. He attempted to plot against me with Qin Yuru together! Given that,
"Yes but you are the only granddaughter of Great Elder Princess!" answered Chu Liuchen confidently.What he said, actually, was true. Shao Wanru was speechless. Given she was Rui'an Great Elder Princess' only granddaughter, her status was much higher and better than the others'.At least, no one could replace her when considering this factor.However, even so, she didn't know how Chu Liuchen could gain support from Great Elder Princess."But before you mentioned this, you didn't know that I am Great Elder Princess' granddaughter, right?" When Shao Wanru tried to turn to look at Chu Liuchen's eyes, he reached out and turned her head back. Thus, she closed her eyes and asked curiously.She had been Qin Huaiyong's daughter at that time. Did he want to collect Qin Huaiyong? However, she had been just an adopted daughter and she could not let Qin Huaiyong stand by her actually."I have known that you are Rui'an
Qi Tianyu came here in a hurry. He had changed his clothes which he wore to parade in the street on horse. Now he was in a simple but elegant light green gown, which made him look normal.Seeing his clothes, people could hardly believe that he was the one who ranked third in the exam and the one who just paraded in the street on horse and was favored by thousands of young ladies. Now he was just an ordinary pilgrim who came to visit Yuhui Nunnery, claiming that he wanted to meet Fifth Miss of Duke Xing's Mansion, as her old friend.A nun of Yuhui Nunnery was going to inform Shao Wanru of this matter. Since Qu Le told her that Shao Wanru was in silence room, she then came here and told her about this.After Yujie informed her lady of this message, she came out and talked to the nun who brought the message. The nun nodded when hearing Yujie's words and soon she led Qi Tianyu who was in light green and looked extraordinary and vigorous to come her
"Then I'm not going to bother you, Fifth Miss Shao. I still have some things to do, so I'm going down the hill. I'll come back to see you when I have time!" Qi Tianyu stood up and smiled at Shao Wanru, as if he did not know what she had said was to refuse him."Yujie, see First Young Master of the Qi Family off!" Shao Wanru answered lightly without raising her head.This kind of casual and somewhat indifferent look made Qi Tianyu very uncomfortable, and he almost failed to keep the warm and elegant smile on his face.Qi Tianyu suppressed his anger and stopped bothering her. He turned around and went out with Yujie. When arriving at the yard, he stopped, looked at Yujie and said, "How is your Miss doing after coming up the hill? I heard that she was frightened in Duke Xing's Mansion.""Thank you, First Young Master of the Qi Family. Our Miss is fine!""She has always lived a luxurious life, and what she can eat and use
"We can see more from above!" Chu Liuchen looked up at the high ground and said excitedly."Climbing up the hill is even more tiring. Your Highness, you had better take good care of yourself before coming back!" Shao Wanru said. She reached out to pull his hand and went down the mountain.Although Chu Liuchen's health was better than the last time, it was still not as good as the average people's. She had asked Mingqiu Nun about his illness in detail and knew that it was not easy to purge Chu Liuchen's body of the poison that was already present when he was in his mother's womb. What's more, Chu Liuchen had not sought treatment for so many years. It was said that he did not care about his health at all.This made Shao Wanru feel sad for some reason.If one did not even care about his own health, what would he care about?Being forcefully pulled by Shao Wanru, Chu Liuchen looked displeased and his reluctance showed. He
"Miss, Madam of Duke Xing's Mansion sent you a letter again and asked you to go down the mountain. She said that after two years, you could choose to divide your stay at the Yuhui Nunnery and at the Duke Xing's Mansion. You do not need to be too restrained!"Qu Le came in and respectfully handed over a letter.Shao Wanru put down the brush in her hand and washed her hands in the clear water. Then, she took the letter, walked to the window, then opened it to read.The letter was written by Madam of Duke Xing. Recently, she often received such letters. Madam of Duke Xing had also sent some gifts.After she finished reading the letter, she folded it again. She was about to put the letter back into the envelope, but she stopped when she took a second look at it. Then she slowly unfolded the letter. This time, what she saw were not the words on the letter, but the corners of the stationery that did not have any writing.The
"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
