"Fifth Sister, since they are both from the imperial palace, they are naturally similar!" Shao Yanru realized what Shao Wanru meant first, hurriedly put down the hairpin in her hand with a smile, picked up another gorgeous hairpin, and said. The hairpin including several strings of pearls with a small gold bead at the end of each string was dazzling when it was swayed slightly.
It was so gorgeous.
Shao Wanru, who was sharp-eyed, noticed there was a phoenix-shaped widget under the largest gold bead, and her eyes became deep. If she remembered correctly, not everyone could wear this kind of jewelry with a phoenix-shaped widget.
Even though there might be this kind of phoenix-shaped widgets on the jewelry from the imperial palace, only someone with an imperial mandate could wear them.
She looked at the tray in front, where there were eight hairpins including both plain and gorgeous ones, but all of them looked valuable. She then looke
When they got into the room, they first saw a screen, which was so worn that Shao Yanru even couldn't think of a word to describe it!One side of the screen was curled, and the other side was worn. The most terrible thing was that a part in the middle of the screen seemed to have been mended and looked quite conspicuous. The wide and large screen was supposed to look majestic and extraordinary, but it gave a sense of declining at this moment.Looking around, they found that the cushion on each chair had been mended. However, they were all sewn casually with terrible stitches, which made them even more conspicuous than before. Some of them were mended with other cloth probably because there was no similar cloth.It could be said that the cushions were mended with all kinds of cloth.Shao Jie'er looked at everything in front of her, dumbfounded, opened her mouth, only to find that she couldn't say anything mean. All of these were mor
Coming out of the desolate courtyard, Doctor Qiu picked up the medicine chest in her hand and carried it behind his back, and strode out.He was the chief physician of Miss Wang, who specialized in pulse diagnosis and acupuncture. He always left at this time before. When he came out of the yard, he shook his head, because Miss Wang's condition was really terrible.He turned a corner and was about to take another path when a servant girl hurried over with a plate of fruit. Because she walked too fast, the two of them bumped into each other.Doctor Qiu was knocked to take two steps back and almost fell down. However, the servant girl who came from the opposite fell even harder and directly fell to the ground. She covered her face and screamed, "Ouch!" Maybe it was because she hit her face or lips when she fell down."Are you okay?" It was inappropriate for Doctor Qiu to leave directly, so he came over and asked."You...
"Miss, Miss Qi has sent a letter to the First Young Master! This time, she did it in a much more obscure way than last time." Qing'er came back a bit late."Don't worry about her!" Shao Wanru blinked her eyes and came to a conclusion in her mind.After being smashed by the people sent by Madam of Duke Xing this time, Qi Rongzhi would restrain herself a little. But she would not stop so easily, especially tomorrow was the day when no one was in the mansion.All the Misses were going to enter the palace, and Madam of Duke Xing was busy preparing things for her eldest daughter to enter the palace. The guard in Qi Rongzhi's place was relatively simple. So if she got help, it would not be difficult for her to escape!The news that the Misses would go to the palace tomorrow had been sent to Qi Rongzhi on purpose. Qi Rongzhi's letter had also indicated that she was going to take action."Prepare a carriage outside the back do
Early the next morning, the entire Duke Xing's Mansion cheered up. What a glory it was that all the five misses in the mansion could go to the Royal Palace together.Even the third branch, who never got along with the second branch, got up early. Every servant was carefully styling up her miss.Carriages had long been parked outside the mansion. Two spacious carriages had been prepared.Shao Wanru came just in time. Shao Yanru and Shao Jie'er had arrived; Shao Yanru got into the front carriage and Shao Jie'er wanted to follow. However, an old maid stopped her and made her go to the carriage in the back. When Shao Wanru arrived, she was led to the front one.Yujie helped her into the carriage. Shao Yanru was already sitting inside. She looked both graceful and fancy, her eight-piece silk skirt pretty and her face gorgeous. Nevertheless, when she saw that Shao Wanru was dressed almost in a single color, her eyes flashed with a trace
Shao Wanru lowered her head without saying anything and clenched her fists tightly in her long sleeves!It turned out that this was the Buddhist tower she saw in front of the palace gate. In her last life, she had climbed this tower, but on the sly when she had been in the palace. On it, she seemingly had seen someone!The memory of her last life was vague here, and she couldn't remember anything else. She only remembered that this tower was very big when she had seen it at the foot of the tower. Therefore, when she saw this tower just now, she didn't recall the vague Buddhist tower in her memory.She couldn't remember anything about the tower, as if it was at the edge of her memory, but she somehow felt that it was very important. She seemed to have forgotten something very important and couldn't remember it. She only vaguely felt that this tower was very important to her. If possible, she wanted to enter the tower to have a look.
"Fifth Sister, let's sit down for a while!" Shao Jie'er sat down on a chair and said with a smile.Shao Wanru looked at her calmly and nodded. However, she didn't sit down but walked forward.When she reached the outside of the balcony, she saw several strong branches of plum blossoms leaning in from the outside of the balcony. There were a few yellow plum blossoms scattered on the branches. They were plain and light, which was very pleasant.There was a clear pool of water outside the balcony. Standing in the corner of the balcony, one could appreciate the plum blossoms and the lake water, which was more uplifting.There was a winding waterside pavilion in the lake. The plum trees made people feel more and more calm and peaceful. Even though it was winter and it was not suitable to enjoy the scenery at the waterside pavilion, the waterside pavilion was a natural piece of scenery. Although there was no mountain, there was a sense o
"Second Sister, I'm going to take a walk on the shore, where the red plum blossoms are really beautiful and seem to be better than those in our mansion!" Shao Wanru stood up and said, "Big Sister is coming. Please wait for her here!""Aren't you going to wait for Big Sister here?" Shao Jie'er asked with an unkind look."I want to go to enjoy the view now! It's rare to have such a chance to enter the imperial palace!" Shao Wanru said with a smile and turned to walk out.Shao Jie'er wanted to stop Shao Wanru. However, seeing that Shao Wanru left so decisively, she knew that she could not hold her back. If she were dealing with other sisters in the mansion, she could make them stay with the bonds of their sisterhood, but Shao Wanru in front of her was obviously not one of them.She watched Shao Wanru leave, but she couldn't do so. When Shao Yanru came over, she had to explain what had happened just now because she had to find a good e
"Go and find her!" Shao Yanru said impatiently with a frown."Big Sister... I... but what if she doesn't come?" Shao Jie'er had always been timid and cautious in front of Shao Yanru."If she doesn't come, just think of a way to make her drink some wine. Try your best to make her drink as much wine as possible!" Shao Yanru reached out to pick up the pot in front, which seemed to contain tea but actually contained wine. She poured a cup of wine in front of her, brought it to Shao Jie'er, and said coldly, "The wine is not strong with a light taste. Letting her drink a few mouthfuls is enough!"Shao Wanru had been drugged and only needed to drink the wine. Even a sip was enough to make Shao Wanru unconscious for a while.After that, the thing would develop as she wished!Even if Rui'an Great Elder Princess insisted that Shao Wanru should not marry a guard, Shao Wanru's reputation would be ruined and Shao Wanru would not be
"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
