On the wide official road, the carriages came one after another, all heading for the palace gate where there were inspections. Therefore, the carriages in the direction of the palace gate traveled very slowly. One end had already reached the palace gate, while the other end was still on the street.
On both sides of the street, many people were watching the carriages with their respective aristocratic family symbols passing by and gossiping. The most talked-about was Duke Xing's Mansion.
It was because that, on the one hand, the Young Lady of Duke Xing's Mansion had faintly become the most beautiful woman, and on the other hand, it had been a troubled time for Duke Xing's Mansion recently, and the relationship with Yuhui Nunnery outside the city was too close. The first was Miss Shao, and then Fifth Miss Shao, and now Madam of Duke Xing.
There was something wrong with it. But some things were too confidential, and the ordinary people didn't know
"Wait a minute!"Shao Wanru turned her head in amazement but saw that there was a nanny under the shadow of a lamp nearby. There was a table over there. Behind the table sat an old nanny. It seemed that she was much older than the previous nanny. She happened to be in the shadow of the lamp, and Shao Wanru was flustered just now, so she hadn't noticed her."Just remove the outer clothes!" The old nanny raised her eyes and looked at Shao Wanru gently."Then the other..." The previous nanny froze for a moment, confused. She had never encountered anything like this before."That's it!" said the old nanny.The nanny did not dare to say anymore.It was just that it was much simpler to remove the outer clothes than to take them off completely. But Shao Wanru still blushed. The younger nanny pressed her hands and legs a few times and asked a few more questions. After she finished answering these questions, the na
The number of beauties on the left and right was almost the same, but the girls on the left were better than the girls on the right in terms of temperament, looks, and overall feeling.As the nanny was calling the roll, Shao Wanru and Zhang Qilan stood on the left. Shao Yanru had already stood there early. Even Shao Caihuan was there, but Shao Cailing was on the right. Shao Wanru just glanced at it and knew how it was. Those on the right should be the girls who had lost. It was not surprising that Shao Cailing lost. She was surprised that Shao Caihuan was also selected."Fifth Sister, where have you been? We two have been looking for you for a long time." Shao Yanru, a decent eldest sister, naturally walked over and asked softly."I met Miss Zhang and we chatted for a while. I'm sorry!" Shao Wanru said."It's OK. Let's wait!" Shao Yanru whispered with a smile. She looked at Shao Caihuan who was standing next to her and felt very un
"How could the prince not like this place? He handpicked some of the decorations here. Even if he doesn't like it, he won't give it to others," Xiao Xuanzi said disapprovingly. The prince had lived here for quite a long time, and he liked many things in it very much, and he had even chosen some rare ones himself.The door was right in front without anyone guarding it. It looked empty, and the room didn't seem big when she looked in. But Shao Wanru knew that after entering the door, there was a staircase to the right. The upper floor was where she had used to live. There was good lighting. The scenery was also good. In her previous life, she was in a daze on it when she was free.Compared to other experiences, being in a daze in the attic seemed to be the quietest scene in her memory. After going up the stairs and entering the room, she saw a large wicker chair in the window, facing the sun and the window sill. There were a few red plums in a delicate vase.
If no one had strongly recommended her, she would not have been able to enter the palace at that time. Regardless of Chu Liuchen's personality, he had always been kind to her and even saved her. He had been very good to her, but she had forgotten him. She had forgotten all the memories of his goodness. She remembered nothing but the warmth, which showed that they had gotten along very well at the time.But she had forgotten everything! "I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" Shao Wanru couldn't suppress herself crying, and her whole body was trembling. She tried to raise her eyes hard to see Chu Liuchen's face.He had treated her very well in the last life, but she didn't return his kindness. Chu Liuchen was startled by Shao Wanru's sudden cry. He stretched out his hand as if he wanted to touch her face, but he was worried that she would be scared. He frowned and looked at her with concern. He suddenly reached out to pull her into her arms and softly conformed her, "Okay,
Shao Wanru lowered her head more, and hurriedly said, "I heard it from Prime Minister Zhang's daughter. She told me that she heard someone in Huaguang Temple say that someone was destined to marry the emperor, and they mentioned Shao Yanru!" She and Shao Yanru didn't get along well with each other. Chu Liuchen knew about it all the time, so she didn't need to hide it from him or put on a show of her deep affection with Shao Yanru in front of him.Chu Liuchen didn't rush to answer. He pulled her back to the wicker chair before, and then leisurely pulled the wicker chair he had been sitting on to Shao Wanru's side to lean against hers, and then sat down. "Shao Yanru is destined to marry the emperor?" He asked after sitting down. Shao Wanru looked up, saw his casual eyes, and nodded. "It's true, Zhang Qilan said she had heard it. Guards were guarding the room, but it was not her father.""Destined to marry the emperor? That's a good idea!" Chu Liuchen thought
"Where could I go? I just walked around, because I felt a little bored!" Shao Wanru shook her head and smiled lightly. Then she just ignored them, turned, and walked inside. When she passed the palace maid standing at the door, she took a special look at her. It turned out that she was the loyal maid who followed Shao Yanru around back then.Seeing Shao Wanru glancing at her, the palace maid bowed respectfully. She had been standing behind them to the right just now and happened to hear their conversation. There were plenty of maids like her in the palace. But she was unwilling to stay in the palace until she was kicked out of the palace one day. This was Chuxiu Palace where anything was possible. If she could pick a promising master, then she would naturally have a better future. It required insight to choose one from so many beauties as her master in the future.She stood at the door, trying to select a master who seemed promising. Although the ones who w
Shao Wanru's heart jumped, and immediately remembered the story that Mingqiu Nun had told her before. She had only heard it once, so she hadn't remembered it as clearly Yujie who had witnessed it herself. It was not a thing of the Central Plains, so that was why she thought it smelled weird, but she didn't know what kind of powder it was. She had been exposed to a lot of medicinal materials in the past, but she had never smelled it, which indicated that it was very rare."Is that the disease caused by the use of joss-stick?" Yujie reminded her. Shao Wanru immediately remembered it, and her face changed slightly. "Yes, it was the joss-stick!" Yujie said with a heavy face.There was silence in the room. Compared with other triggering methods, the triggering of joss-stick was even more difficult to prevent. Shao Wanru's gaze fell on a copper censer on the window counter. There was incense in the censer, and a faint scent came out from the mouth of the censer,
"Where did it come from?" Shao Wanru said."I don't know where it came from. Anyway, it's very effective, especially for women," Zhang Qilan said and looked around again. When no one noticed them, she leaned in and whispered in her ear, "It is said that the Noble Ladies who live in the palace are all well-destined. If they can get the protective talisman in the palace, they can become Noble Ladies or be protected by these Noble Ladies in the palace!"Shao Wanru looked at Zhang Qilan in shock."Yes, that's what they said, but it's all legends. I don't know if it's true or not!" Zhang Qilan nodded and said affirmatively again, fearing that Shao Wanru would not believe it.Shao Wanru was silent for a while and suddenly realized something. There was such a rumor about the protective talisman. No wonder the beauties of this draft picks had tried so hard to get one. "Then... where did they get these protective talismans?" Shao Wanru aske
"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
