"She said that you have lived in the Yuhui Nunnery for a period of time. She did not celebrate your birthday before in the Yuhui Nunnery because she was afraid of disturbing your quiet practice. Now that it will be your last birthday in the Yuhui Nunnery and it is almost time for you to go downhill, this will be seen as bothering you! She also said that in the following days, with your permission, she also wants to observe the mourning period with you and then go downhill together!"
Three years was not a long time for Shao Wanru to observe the mourning rites for her parents, but Shao Yanru did not have to do so. After all, they were not from the same branch. However, it was reasonable for her to observe mourning rites for a few months and then people would praise her as being such a filial girl!
"She is really kind!" Shao Wanru smiled lightly but her eyes told a different story.
"Don't you like it?" Chu Liuxin sensitively noticed Shao Wanru's d
She also had one in her previous life, but it was not for herself, but for Qin Yuru!In her last life, Qin Yuru became the new favorite of the Old Madam of Duke Xing's Mansion. Duke Xing's Mansion left her a yard and let her stay with the Old Madam of Duke Xing's Mansion from time to time.When this news came, Madam Di and Qin Yuru were ecstatic. Then the masters of Duke Xing's Mansion gave all kinds of gifts. Both Old Madam's and Madam of Duke Xing's gifts were extremely gorgeous, but this set was given by Shao Yanru.When the box arrived, Qin Yuru happened to be in a pavilion in Qin's Mansion. It was raining and the servant girl of Duke Xing's Mansion carried the box in front of Qin Yuru.Qin Yuru heard that it had been sent by the First Miss of Duke Xing's Mansion, so she dared not neglect it and let the servant girl pick it up. Unexpectedly, the servant girl dropped the box and the box fell to the ground. The gorgeous clothes i
"She doesn't plan to vacate your quiet room? Why?" After hearing the servant girl's report, Madam of Duke Xing got angry immediately. She looked sullen and slapped on the table so heavily that the teacups on the table almost jumped up because of the shock.It had almost been three years. In these three years, she had not sent people to Yuhui Nunnery because she was afraid that something bad would happen. At that time, more negative comments would come out.Three years ago, when the yard had been on fire, Duke Xing's Mansion had to give in and consent to this girl's quiet practice in Yuhui Nunnery. Unexpectedly, this girl had no rest when she was in Yuhui Nunnery and she even occupied the quiet room carefully prepared for her eldest daughter. The quiet room would be extremely useful for her.If not for her daughter's advice, she had thought that Yuhui Nunnery would have locked the room and not lent it to that girl."Mother, you are
Yujie asked around at the foot of the mountain before coming back. When she returned to the mountain and the carriage stopped, she jumped out of the carriage. When she was about to go inside, she was suddenly stopped by someone."Are you the servant girl of Fifth Miss?" An old maid stood in front of a carriage with a smile and asked Yujie while looking at her.When Yujie went down the mountain, she changed her clothes and dressed up as a servant girl. She had not lived in Duke Xing's Mansion for a long time, so few people knew her. Now it was two and a half years later, so fewer people could recognize her.The old maid had seen Yujie before, but now she could only guess roughly."Which Fifth Miss?" Yujie frowned, took some things from the carriage and asked. The carriage was full of things."The Fifth Miss of our Duke Xing's Mansion." The old maid came over with a smile and reached out to help Yujie carry things.
"The plans for my birthday celebration cannot be carried out. Grandmother wants me to wholeheartedly observe the filial piety rites for my parents. Since we agreed that it will be three years, it should be three years. How can I slack off just because it is my birthday? If I celebrate it on the mountain, Grandmother will definitely punish me. I am afraid that the sisters will also be punished along with me at that time!"Shao Wanru's long lashes fluttered twice. Then, she lifted her chin slowly. Her lips, which were as beautiful as cherry blossoms, curved up slightly. There was a hint of coyness that came from her inner self. However, she did not realize it. There was a trace of innocence in her eyes, which was extremely beautiful. The nanny could not help but lower her eyes and did not dare to look directly at her beauty."But Old Madam's intention is to let several Young Madams accompany you. You will be going back to the mansion soon, but you have not be
The collar was close to the neck. In this area, a bit more fabric was required and it also had to be slighter softer. There were only a few type of materials that had these two characteristics. However, Colorful Yarn had two unique characteristics, which made it suitable for the collar of the dress.The dress was designed to be gorgeous, but how it was made depended on the embroidery maids of the sewing room. Shao Wanru was sure that the dress came from the sewing room of Duke Xing's Mansion.Even though Shao Yanru had schemed well, there had still been a slight error. Of course, the error was based on Shao Wanru's knowledge of the Colorful Yarn.It was because she knew about the dress given by her mother Madam of Duke Xing and Wang Yishu's handkerchief. Otherwise, as a Young Lady who just arrived in the capital city, how could she know about such a rare tribute? It was even not easy for the imperial concubines to get a piece of material the si
Shao Wanru was shocked by Chu Liuchen's action. Her long eyelashes fluttered twice and she closed her eyes. When she opened her eyes again, she found that it was not dark anymore. She could not help looking out of the window. Outside, the mountains seemed to huddle together and the moonlight was gentle and beautiful.The atmosphere in the darkness became increasingly intense, then she felt her waist being strongly hugged and Chu Liuchen played continuously with the jade pendant hung around her waist.Feeling hot, Shao Wanru wanted to push Chu Liuchen away. She reached out her hand and asked. "Your Highness, who do you think is most likely to marry her?"However, Chu Liuchen grabbed her hand and pulled it aside, saying, "I do not think she can marry anyone!"This answer made Shao Wanru fall silent. In her previous life, Shao Yanru was indeed unmarried. The man she was going to marry could not be the Emperor. It could only be Prince
The news that a bandit suddenly appeared in Yuhui Nunnery and attempted to grab the former Emperor's concubine shocked the whole capital city.Yuhui Nunnery was famous not only for a saying that prayers could be heard by the Buddha but also for the other one that the former Emperor's concubines were grounded here. However, these were just sayings as nobody had the access to the deepest part of Yuhui Nunnery and seeing those concubines who were shut here.However young and beautiful they used to be, they now all were accompanied by an oil lamp and an old statue of Buddha and led a lonely life. It was a pity for them not to have their own child as they were unable to give birth!It was the first Emperor and the former Emperor who founded the Kingdom of Dongcang together, which made a majority of ministers who had been loyal to the former Emperor still devoted to the current Emperor. For them, it was a very normal thing. However, with decades pass
At the door, Shao Yanru came in with a servant girl following her. She wore a turquoise light eight-piece long dress whose waist was winded and twisted by a plum-shaped ribbon. A light violaceous gauze jupe and a pair of light pink elbow sleeves, with Shao Yanru's elegance and grace together, made people feel amazed by the refinement and freshness of the woman in front of them. Her gorgeous appearance even let her seem much more outstanding.After she entered, she didn't look around but bowed reverently to Rui'an Great Elder Princess who was sitting in the middle of the room and said, "Nice to see you, Great Elder Princess.""Get up." Great Elder Princess waved her hands calmly and let her get up."Great Elder Princess, do you know where my fifth sister is? When my grandma and mother heard something bad happened to Yuhui Nunnery, they became quite anxious. My grandma even suffered a relapse of her old illness. My mother now is taking care of he
"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
