"No, you don't have to borrow one. Miss Qing'er, it's just that I did not feed the horse well yesterday. It's not in a good mental state today and maybe a little slower to go down the mountain." The coachman explained continuously with a smile as soon as he saw the carriages by his side.
He lassoed the horse as he explained to Qing'er, and said eagerly, "Miss Qing'er, although it's a little slow, it will definitely not cause a delay in Qing'er's business. I will safely send Miss Qing'er to Rui'an Great Elder Princess' Mansion."
Qing'er lifted her dress, laid her hands on the shaft of the carriage, and got into the carriage briskly. She said, "Then hurry up. I still have to come back and report to Miss later."
"Don't worry, Miss Qing'er. I'll handle it!" The cart driver said with a smile. He raised his hand, and then the carriage turned a corner and went down the mountain.
The carriage was very steady along the way. Qing'er lifted t
The night was dark and beautiful, but if it was windy and darker, it would make people feel not good.One, two, three black shadows appeared in the sight. Even their clothes were black in the night. If Shao Wanru hadn't kept an eye on them, she wouldn't have noticed that there were three people appearing in the shadows at the corner of the wall.One sneaked out from the tightly closed side door.She suddenly opened her cherry-like lips and looked at the three people who were hiding below in horror.The side door had been closed and the three people quickly moved to hide in the shadows of the walls. At this time, they seemed to have observed for a while and did not find anything unusual, so they moved carefully. Their movements were sometimes slow and sometimes quick, but they did not make any sound.Shao Wanru held Chu Liuchen's body tightly and stared at the ground. Her heart was beating fast, but she didn't know whet
"Fifth Miss, I'm here to ask for the picture album of the Yuhui Nunnery. I've heard from Huiming Nun that the book is with you, so I came here to fetch it. Old Madam wants to see it!"The old maid of Duke Xing's Mansion came in, and she bowed to Shao Wanru. Then she said with a big smile on her face."A picture album?" Shao Wanru raised her voice and frowned. She seemed to be a little displeased."Yes, it was the album. I showed it to you before. At that time, you didn't say you wanted to change the way of putting the offerings. After it was knocked to the ground by a servant girl, you picked it up to have a look again. When I left, you were reading the album carefully!" Huiming put her hands cross together and smiled kindly.The ins and outs of the picture album were clearly explained.As soon as she finished her words, she saw Shao Wanru's face become more and more serious."When First Miss went down the
The old maid of Duke Xing's Mansion went back in disgrace. Qing'er went up the mountain on a carriage. In fact, the two carriages passed by each other on the mountain road.Qing'er lifted the curtain and was enjoying the scenery. When she saw the carriage of Duke Xing's Mansion coming down from the mountain, she was stunned for a moment. Then she saw the supervisor old maid looking out of the window. As the carriage passing by each other, they glanced at each other silently and then separated. Then the curtain fell and the carriage flew in the opposite direction.When she came to the top of the mountain, Qing'er got off the carriage and looked for Shao Wanru anxiously. Along the way, she was in a hurry and almost bumped into several nuns. As she apologized, she hurried forward. At first glance, the nuns knew that something was wrong. Then looked at the things in her hands, some of the nuns were surprised while some were proud.Qing'er didn't no
Before the eunuch had gone far, he encountered Nanny Yu being led by a palace servant.It was this servant who had led Nanny Yu to leave the imperial palace and waited for her at the entrance. Thus, since they were back, it seemed that they ran a very quick errand.Seeing them coming back, the eunuch hurriedly entered the palace and informed his master. Soon after, he walked out and took Nanny Yu into the Palace of Benevolent Peace.After bowing to the madams there, Nanny Yu reverently presented an album of painting, which was wrapped in a bag. She didn't dare to open the bag on the way here, for she feared that she could not defend herself if there was something wrong with the album.She had worried about becoming involved in this matter. First, she thought she should ask Shao Wanru's servant girl to come with her. But now, she just wrapped this album in a bag, which to some extent could save her trouble.The instant
Old Madam could feel cold sweat trickling down her forehead. When she found out the piece of paper was different, she thought that she had finally caught Shao Wanru tripping up. However, she could not give a plausible explanation.Trying to keep herself calm, Old Madam lowered her head and said awkwardly, "I, I don't understand."Empress Dowager didn't think it would be a big deal, and thus, waved her hands with her eyes fixed on the album. Smiling, she said, "It is normal that you don't know. It is the wisdom of Yuhui Nunnery, and it might also be related to Buddhism. Pushan Nun is one of the most eminent nuns in Yuhui Nunnery. How could a normal person understand her album of paintings?"Shao Yanru frowned. Pouting, she suddenly thought of the story that Pushan Nun told her when she went there. An idea occurred to her."Your Highness, if you really want to know, how about inviting Pushan Nun to come here?" she suggested carefully
The instant Shao Yanru helped Old Madam get off her carriage, she received the rewards from the imperial palace.Old Madam was very delighted! After Shao Yanru expressed gratitude for the rewards, Old Madam then took Shao Yanru back to her Chuntang Courtyard. When they sat down, Old Madam could hardly wait to let Shao Yanru open the present sent by Empress Dowager.No old madam present today received the rewards from Empress Dowager but only her granddaughter had! Old Madam suddenly got very excited."Grandma, what is it?" Smiling brightly, Shao Yanru was also very delighted. However, her face changed when she opened it.A little delicate ferule made by white jade?"What, what does it mean?" Totally flustered, Shao Yanru got red rimmed eyes while she looked at Old Madam with tears in her eyes.With her countenance getting pale suddenly, Old Madam picked up the ferule and watched it carefully. It was a feru
The following days were so quiet that it seemed as if those incidents had never happened.Every day, Pushan Nun would come here to chant scriptures with her students but the time was not fixed. Even though Shao Wanru came every day, she had never met Pushan Nun.Duke Xing's Mansion sent a supervisor to clear up those leftover fruits and cakes every day, replaced them with fresh ones, and put them in the Buddha Hall.The old maid would stand aside and finish her work quickly once being asked to do something by Shao Wanru or Pushan Nun when they came here to chant scriptures.Time went by fast and nearly 10 days had passed. This morning, Shao Wanru got up very early. Seeing that it was still dark, Yujie wanted Shao Wanru to continue to sleep a little longer. However, Shao Wanru just shook her head and had Yujie help her wash and dress. After Qu Le had brought them their breakfast, they then quickly had breakfast and went directly to
"There are three more days for the religious rite. In the next three days, I will stay temporarily on the mountain and then leave after the rite is over. During those days, you need to stay in the Buddha Hall every day and prepare the materials for worship. Anyway, they are your biological parents, so you should give more attention to this rite!" Old Madam reprimanded.Her words meant that Shao Wanru had not paid much attention to it before. Hearing this, Yujie was so angry that her feet jerked and she wanted to step forward to defend Shao Wanru.Usually, the rite was more formal during the last few days. It was impossible for someone to keep a close watch over the rites for ten days or half a month. One would be exhausted by such an immense task.Old Madam had sent someone before to inform her that she just needed to take care of the rite first and then check on it every day. Now she meant that Shao Wanru needed to not only take a look, but al
"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
