A Miss from an aristocratic family, who lived in a nunnery for observing mourning for her parents like Shao Wanru, could enjoy a great reputation and be highly praised. But a Miss, who had to live in a nunnery because she came from a poor family and had no relative to rely on, would have a bad reputation even if she was brought back to her relatives' mansion. People would even doubt her family education.
It was understandable that Mo Qiuyi's uncle and aunt were worried about this and did not want Mo Qiuyi to show up in front of the nuns of the Yuhui Nunnery.
"Shuqi, go and fetch the painting!" Shao Yanru handed the sketch back to Mo Qiuyi and gave Shuqi an order in a soft voice.
"Miss, if I leave, there will be no maid around you." Shuqi looked at Mo Qiuyi and the two maids behind her and said vigilantly.
"First Miss, shall my maid go with your maid?" Mo Qiuyi asked with a smile.
"Okay!" Shao Yanru said with a smile an
Qing'er, who was about to turn around and leave, stopped."Yujie, why do you say that?" Shao Wanru tilted her head and asked with a smile."I think... I think..." Yujie recalled what had happened yesterday, as she chose her words carefully. "The girl fell and then rushed over with plenty of servants. If they really seized us, they would definitely beat us up, and we would inevitably neglect the paintings. Even if we lost the two paintings, you could do nothing about it when seeing us badly battered!""Besides, I asked the nuns of the Yuhui Nunnery about it later. They all said that no one made a scene. In this case, if we were robbed of the two paintings at that time, we wouldn't be able to find them, right? It was a remote place, and no one else was around. Even if they did anything, no one would know it as long as they kept it a secret!"In fact, Yujie didn't have any real evidence. If it weren't for Qing'er's words, she wouldn't
But now she clearly knew that she couldn't get angry. On no account could she get angry!Madam wanted others to see the scene that she treated Fifth Miss well, so she couldn't get angry.However, even though Nanny Sheng repeatedly warned herself in her heart, she still looked bad when facing this senseless poor servant girl in front of her. The smile on her face faded away, and her face darkened. "Doesn't Fifth Miss need to have a meal at halftime?"Qing'er said senselessly, as if she didn't see that Nanny Sheng's expression had changed, "Steamed buns and clear water have been sent in. Fifth Miss said that the quiet practice should be sincere and that only steamed buns and clear water are enough to satisfy her hunger and she doesn't need anything else!""Then I want to meet First Miss!" Nanny Sheng took a deep breath and suppressed the anger in her heart."First Miss just said that she wanted to copy the scriptures for
Nanny Sheng hurriedly reached out her hands to hold Madam of Duke Xing and helped her to calm down behind her. After a long while, Madam of Duke Xing finally calmed down."Look, he's not in charge of anything, but he threw all the blame on me. If it was that woman...""Madam!" Nanny Sheng raised her voice alarmedly and bewilderedly and unconsciously looked at the open door.The door was wide open, and two rows of servant girls and old maids standing in the yard could be seen. They were all respectful, but Madam of Duke Xing's voice was amplified without control just now."Let them go away and close their mouths, otherwise..." Madam of Duke Xing also came to her senses at this time. She glanced at the servants in the courtyard severely. In fact, she was a little far away from them, so it was impossible for them to hear anything.There were a lot of people in the yard. If there was only one or two, she could just find an
"Your Majesty, the Ministry of Justice hasn't come up with a solution to the assassination in the Yuhui Nunnery for a long time. It's obvious that they are incompetent and useless!" An imperial censor stepped forward and reported."Your Majesty, the Ministry of Justice has wasted much manpower and money, but it ended up getting nothing. The assassination of several princes before and the incident in the Yuhui Nunnery this time are proving its incompetence. Your Majesty, please punish the Ministry of Justice!" Another imperial censor came out from Censorate and impeached Ministry of Justice, after making a bow to the emperor, who was sitting high up in the chair."Your Majesty, the incident in the Yuhui Nunnery has much to do with the assassination of several princes before, so it's different from what every official thinks. It is even related to the leftover evils of the previous dynasty. We are trying hard to investigate and dare not relax." Qiu Qian, the
The guards with golden armor went down and soon pulled a person here. After pressing him to kneel on the ground, the guards retreated."Greetings to you, my honorable uncle!" At the foot of the stairs was a young man in an ordinary navy-blue robe. After kneeling down, he bowed and kowtowed to the emperor, and then he said these words in a clear voice.Some people knew about this matter, and some people didn't know. When they heard the man call the emperor uncle, some people who did not know the truth looked in astonishment at Chu Liuchen in a wheelchair. Chu Liuchen was the one who called the previous emperor uncle, but was raised as the little prince of the emperor. Moreover, he was the eldest legitimate son of the previous emperor. Then who was the person in front of them?Just now, some of them had been mentioning the Yuhui Nunnery and vaguely said that there was a son of the previous emperor. Wasn't he the person?When he raise
"The emperor recognized a new nephew, who is the posthumous child of the late emperor?" Shao Wanru asked indifferently in little surprise. She had been wondering when the posthumous child's identity would be revealed. Now it happened earlier than it did in the last life in a different way!At this moment, she happened to stand on a cliff at the back and could faintly see the courtyards within the high wall. Some ladies occasionally came into her view. They were all dressed in black clothes and kept their hair. They should be the imperial concubines of the late emperor.The side door of the high wall was opened. There came plenty of people today. Some of them were the officials of the Ministry of Justice, and some were dressed in eunuch's uniforms. Besides, there was a young man dressed in gorgeous clothes, who seemed to be the reason why those people came today.In the last life, the incident happened in the Yuhui Nunnery later than it did in t
The kindness for accommodating him? He took his mother away in a big way, and then Yujie could inquire about it at the gate of the Yuhui Nunnery even before the officials of the Ministry of Justice left. It was obvious that everyone knew it clearly. The royal family had always been cautious in their domestic affairs. Since it was so easy to inquire about it, he obviously didn't intend to keep it a secret and didn't even care about whether others knew it or not.Regarding paying back the kindness of the Yuhui Nunnery for accommodation, he did that in order to maintain his good reputation for half a year. From now on, everyone coming to the Yuhui Nunnery would know what Commandery Prince Qing had done to express his gratitude.It was followed by a religious rite. Commandery Prince Qing naturally was unqualified to hold a religious rite for the late emperor, so the religious rite was impossible to be held for the late emperor. It was most likely to be held for
"He asks me to explain it? This is absurd!" Shao Yanru threw the letter in her hand hard and said with an angry look."First Miss... How dare he ask you to explain it! Who does he think he is?" Shuqi cautiously picked up the letter on the ground and said angrily.The letter was sent to the mountain in the name of Miss Qi, but it was actually sent by Miss Qi's brother. As Shao Yanru's trusted maid, Shuqi certainly knew who wrote this letter."Tell him to look out for himself. If he doesn't want to work for me, just drop it!" Shao Yanru said with a sneer, sat down heavily on the chair and became increasingly angry as she thought about it. Who did he think Qi Rongzhi was? What made him think that Qi Rongzhi could compare with her? How dare he ask her to explain for Qi Rongzhi without thinking who Qi Rongzhi was and whether Qi Rongzhi deserved it!"Miss, shall, shall I pass on exactly what you said?" Shuqi looked at the blank letter pa
"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
