"Yes, yes!" Shao Jing nodded repeatedly. Now he would agree with whatever Prince Cheng said. He didn't dare to disagree. She was just his youngest daughter. It was better for her to marry Prince Cheng rather than Commandery Prince Qing. Compared with Commandery Prince Qing who did not have any power, Prince Cheng owned power.
"Your Highness, I heard that you want to find some calligraphy?" Shao Jing wiped the cold sweat on his forehead and quickly changed the topic.
Prince Cheng's face immediately turned cold. He suddenly stood still, turned his head around, and looked at Shao Jing coldly with gloomy eyes, "What do you know?"
Prince Cheng did not believe in Shao Jing, and Shao Jing should not know some of his things.
"Your Highness, I also knew it by chance. I just saw you send someone to find calligraphy and paintings!" Shao Jing panicked and hurriedly explained.
Prince Cheng stared at Shao Jing. When he saw th
"Sit down!" Empress Dowager said gently.A servant had already brought a chair over. Shao Wanru lowered her head and said, "I don't dare to make any offense!""None taken. Sit down and talk to me!" Empress Dowager was very kind. Her purpose today was to see Shao Wanru's reaction.She had sent someone to inquire about Shao Wanru's behavior recently and was very satisfied with this girl."Yes!" Shao Wanru answered softly and sat down on a chair by the side. She straightened her back, put her hands on her knees, and still lowered her head slightly. The palace maid served tea in front of her table, and then bowed her head and stepped aside carefully."How is your life in Chuxiu Palace?" Empress Dowager asked with a smile."Your highness, it is good!" Shao Wanru said calmly."Did anyone say anything?" Empress Dowager asked again.Shao Wanru looked calmer and calmer without any r
Shao Wanru didn't come back with Chu Liuchen because they had said what they should say. If they really accompanied each other all the way back, it would be troublesome. There was no shortage of people gossiping in the palace. If too many people saw it, their words would not be pleasant to the ear. After all, the Empress Dowager had not issued the edict yet.Chu Liuchen didn't have so many scruples, but when he saw that Shao Wanru was really shy and unwilling, he didn't insist. He asked someone to find a sedan chair and Shao Wanru got on it and returned to Chuxiu Palace.She didn't expect that someone would knock on the door soon after she sat down in her room. At this time, the nanny in charge would allow the beauties to have some free time.Yujie went to open the door and saw Chu Liuyue standing outside. After being stunned for a moment, she hurriedly bowed her head and said respectfully, "Your Highness!""Fifth Miss Shao,
"Your Highness, do you know anything?" Shao Wanru bit her lip, suppressed the countless thoughts in her heart, and asked.Chu Liuyue had been staring at her. Having noticed the slightly reddened eyes under her long curly eyelashes, he realized that he was right about her. He couldn't help softening his face and said, "I do know something.""Your Highness, what can I do to make you willing to tell me that?" Shao Wanru raised her eyes and asked with a smile on the corner of her mouth. There was a hint of coldness in her smile, but she didn't intend to hide it.Since Chu Liuyue mentioned it at this time, he must have his own purpose. He came all the way here and he found the softest spot in her heart. So he must be up to something.Chu Liuyue didn't say anything, but his eyes fell on her beautiful little face. Her face was slightly pale, but the rims of her eyes were red. She was extremely beautiful, and her cherry lips were sl
Chu Liuyue left the imperial palace angrily and returned to his mansion. As soon as he sat down in the study, he heard the eunuch saying that Wen Xichi was here. He calmed down a little and asked someone to invite him in. Originally, he wanted to pay a visit to Wen Xichi, but this man came at the right time.Wen Xichi entered the room and saw Chu Liuyue sitting there with a sour face. He didn't know the reason behind this man's anger, but he didn't care. He took two steps forward and bowed, saying, "Your Highness!""Yuanqing, please sit down. I happen to have something to discuss with you!" Chu Liuyue restrained his anger and said.Wen Xichi sat down, then the servant served him tea and left the study. When His Highness and Lord Wen were in a discussion, no one dared to bother them."Please go ahead, Your Highness!" Wen Xichi said."You'd better tell me first. How is the investigation going?" Chu Liuyue took a r
Shao Wanru returned to Duke Xing's Mansion that night.Since her engagement with Chu Liuchen had been settled, there was no point in staying in the palace. Empress Dowager also asked her to go back to the mansion first. That night, she went out of the palace in a small sedan chair. The carriage of Duke Xing's Mansion had been waiting outside the palace. Shao Wanru got in the carriage and returned to Duke Xing's Mansion.When they arrived at Duke Xing's Mansion, it was late, but the gate of the mansion was brightly lit.It was not until Shao Wanru's carriage entered the mansion that most of the light dimmed.Shao Wanru got out of the carriage, and Nanny Yu had already been waiting outside. She stepped forward with a smile and said, "Fifth Miss, Old Madam has been waiting for you in the mansion for a long time. Please come with me!"Shao Wanru nodded and went to the Chuntang Courtyard where Old Madam lived with Yu
In her past life, she was plotted against, so she had not only given up everything she had, but she had also lost her life. Now that she had returned with bloodlust, how could she leave anything behind for them?The light outside the window flickered as if it came from far away. It was dark now, and most of the lights in the mansion had been turned off, but the lights were still on in that area. It seemed to be a tall building, and that direction should point to the outer courtyard. How could there be someone in the outer courtyard at this time?Shao Wanru squinted at it and didn't care about it. Duke Xing's Mansion was strange to her. It was so strange that even she had been in Duke Xing's Mansion for a while, she still didn't know the layout of Duke Xing's Mansion."What's that place? Why are there still lights?" Shao Wanru casually pointed at it and said.Yujie came over and took a look. She also shook her head and said, "It see
Infanta Qinghua had a dowry, and it was not regular-scaled at all. It was the emperor who granted the marriage, so it was natural for her to have such a splendid dowry. And even the royal members added many things to it. It could be said that it was the most extravagant dowry in the capital city.However, after Infanta Qinghua left, the second branch became the supervisor. So old Madam didn't dare to ask how much the dowry had been left. It was not only the second branch but also herself.After the death of Infanta Qinghua, Old Madam wantonly obtained a share of the dowry. Now there were not many left in the warehouse, and almost all the good ones were in others' pockets. Some of them were in her hands, and Madam Jiang of the second branch still had some dowry, which couldn't compare with the dowry of Infanta Qinghua. When she was married, she didn't bring many dowries.The Jiang family was not a very rich aristocratic family. Moreover,
The atmosphere between the two of them immediately became tense.Neither of them was willing to compromise.Great Elder Princess suddenly smiled, took out a ring from her bosom, and put it on the table. "Old Madam, I picked this ring at the door of your yard when I came in just now."Seeing Great Elder Princess suddenly calm down, Old Madam had a sense of foreboding. She involuntarily looked at the ring in front of her and inexplicably panicked.It was a white-jade ring decorated with a red gem, which was surrounded by fine, delicate pearls. It looked like an elegant, beautiful flower.She glanced at the ring but couldn't recognize it. She looked up at Great Elder Princess with a confused face. She had seen many jewels and found the ring a little familiar, but couldn't recall where she had seen it. She frowned tightly."Old Madam, why don't you pick it up and have a look?" Great Elder Princess sneer
"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
