Shao Wanru was tired after picking for a short time. Her feet were not well and she couldn't squat for a long time. Yujie helped her to a pavilion to rest against the fence. She went around the pavilion to pick up maple leaves for Shao Wanru.
The maple forest was very big. They walked all the way forward and almost couldn't meet anyone. But when they stopped, they saw crowds of people coming in. The Yuhui Nunnery was very popular, and it was the start for this maple forest open to people. In addition, this was the best time to enjoy the autumn scenery.
Most of them were women, and some came here with their sisters and elders. Seeing that Shao Wanru was the only one in the pavilion, no man came in rudely, but when they passed by, they all looked at the pavilion secretly. Even if the woman in the pavilion was leaning by side with a veil, she was very attractive.
Two nuns rushed in.
One was Huiding Nun, who followed Mingqiu Nun, and t
When Shao Yanru returned to the courtyard, she went to Shao Yanru's silence room. After following Qu Le into the room, she found that Shao Wanru was lying on the couch.Shao Wanru stretched her legs, which were covered by her long hem, so Shao Yanru could not see her feet."Fifth Sister, let me have a look at your foot!" Shao Yanru said with concern, took two steps forward, and walked up to the bed in an attempt to lift Shao Wanru's hem.Yujie, who was guarding in front of the bed, stepped forward hurriedly, stood in front of the couch, and said, "First Miss, I've applied ointment to my master's foot, so you can't have a look at it now!""Yujie, I'm afraid that you didn't do a good job! Let me have a look, or I can't rest assured!" Shao Yanru said softly."Don't worry, First Miss. I've done that for others before. There won't be any problem!" Yujie stood still in front of Shao Wanru and said.Shao Wanru co
A letter, which was truly written by her, could be unbearably destructive at an appropriate time.Even her maternal grandma would be implicated because the man involved in it was Chu Qing, the eldest son of the late Emperor. Both the Emperor and the Empress Dowager had to take his reputation into account on the surface.Moreover, the letter was vague and could be interpreted in different ways."Just forget it!" Shao Wanru said, suddenly reached out to rub her head took a deep breath, closed her eyes, and leaned back."Miss..." Yujie said in puzzlement. She didn't know why her master suddenly dropped the idea and stopped talking about it!"Fifth Sister, since you want to have a rest, I'm going back now. If you need any help, just send someone to tell me. Anyway, we are related and you are also a Miss of Duke Xing's Mansion. We can't allow the reputation of our Duke Xing's Mansion to be tarnished!"Shao Yanr
Qing'er became active after receiving the pouch. Even before Shao Wanru's maid brought her lunch back, she had brought Shao Yanru's lunch back and it seemed to be a big meal. Seeing her come in with a hamper, which was bigger than usual, Shao Yanru showed a gentle smile.She didn't care about how many dishes Qing'er brought for her, but only cared about having Qing'er's favor. Making Shao Wanru's maid work for her in secret was beneficial to her, she might be able to make great use of Qing'er at a critical moment!"First Miss, I've brought your lunch. Sister Shuqi asked me to do it before she left!" Qing'er placed the huge hamper in front of Shao Yanru, wiped her sweat, and said."Thank you." Shao Yanru said with a smile, put down the writing brush in her hand, and then looked at the huge hamper and asked, "Why are there so many dishes today?""I don't know what you like, so I specially brought you a few more dishes!" Qing'er repor
"Qing'er has gone over there. She seems to be very satisfied with Qing'er. I saw Qing'er come out with her face wreathed in smiles just now." Yujie reported in a low voice. She had received a hint from Qing'er when they exchanged glances just now."She's short of hands at the moment, so it's good for her to draw a maid of mine over to her side. Besides, Qing'er was sent by my maternal grandma to serve me. In any case, Qing'er is my trusted maid. She could definitely get twice the result with half the effort if she sends someone I trust to check on me!" Shao Wanru said while curving her mouth into a beautiful arc to show an elegant and indifferent smile."What does the First Miss intend to do?" Yujie asked nervously."She won't send my maid on a mission before knowing her better. Of course, she will do that at a critical moment! Just wait and see!" Shao Wanru said inadvertently."Well, tonight..." Yujie asked hesitantly.
It was a Buddha hall, the closest to her courtyard, where Shao Yanru asked Qiu Yu to meet. There were two lights hanging at the door of the medium-sized Buddha hall. In the dark night, the two lights looked inconspicuous.When Yujie helped Shao Wanru to walk past here, Shao Wanru couldn't continue walking. She reached out to press her foot and looked at the Buddha Hall with some hesitation."Miss, let's go inside for a rest. It's inconvenient for you to continue walking with your foot injury!" Yujie reached out to support Shao Wanru and said. Although Shao Wanru, who leaned most of her body on Yujie, staggered slightly, no one would discover them in the dark if the one didn't notice them.Moreover, there was no one else around."It's so dark inside, and we didn't bring a light!" Shao Wanru looked at the half-closed door and said."Miss, it's okay to sit inside since we just want to have a rest without doing anything el
"First Miss..." Qiu Yu coughed again in a low voice, fixed his eyes on Shao Yanru with deep affection, and said, "You are both talented and beautiful, kind and gentle. I'm wondering if... I could...""Your Excellency, since I've told you everything I know, I'll leave with Shuqi now!" Shao Yanru interrupted Qiu Yu, suddenly took Shuqi's hand, turned around, and was about to leave."First Miss, please wait for a moment!" Qiu Yu said. How could he let go of such a good opportunity? He took two steps in a hurry and stopped in front of Shao Yanru. For fear that he couldn't finish his words, he said immediately without hesitation, "First Miss, if I go to your mansion to ask to marry you...""Your Excellency, please mind your words!" Shao Yanru interrupted him, "As a childe from an aristocratic family, you should know what you should and shouldn't say. If you say something you shouldn't say, you may even tarnish a Miss's reputation!""Fir
The imperial physician arrived at about noon the next day, followed by Nanny Sheng, the old maid serving Madam of Duke Xing, as well as a female physician brought by the imperial physician.Knowing that he was going to treat Rui'an Great Elder Princess's granddaughter, Imperial Physician Qu specially brought a female physician from the imperial palace.In fact, female physicians were sent to the Imperial Institute of Medicine to learn medical skills from imperial physicians and serve imperial physicians when they were very young.Not many female physicians could learn medical skills well, but their existence made the diagnosis and treatment much more convenient. In the imperial palace, almost all the patients of the Imperial Institute of Medicine were imperial concubines. Some diseases couldn't be diagnosed without a look at the patient, and that was the reason for female physicians' existence.Nanny Sheng went to meet Shao Yanru f
Seeing the female physician come in, Shao Yanru stepped away from the bed. The female physician stepped forward, put down the small medicine chest in her hand, and said, "Fifth Miss, I'm sorry to disturb you!""Never mind!" Shao Wanru said lightly.Looking up at Shao Wanru, the female physician froze for a while and then hurriedly lowered her head to hide the amazement in her eyes. She, who had assisted the imperial physicians in the imperial palace, had seen all kinds of beauties. Nevertheless, she was amazed at the first sight of the Fifth Miss. Even in the imperial palace, no one could compare with such beauty.Yujie lifted Shao Wanru's foot carefully and rolled up one of her trousers to show her bound up ankle. With the complacency on her face fading away, Shao Yanru involuntarily frowned. Looking at Shao Wanru's bound up ankle, she suddenly had a terrible intuition, involuntarily clenched the handkerchief in her hand and compressed her lip
"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
