Yang Yingxue tore at the handkerchief in her hand. Endless jealousy rose up in her heart, but she was more helpless than jealous. When someone left you behind far enough, you even lacked the courage to catch up.
Xia Jingqiu sat at the side and also remained silent. After a long time, she suddenly sighed. "Yingxue, I know that you feel unfair, but no matter how jealous and uncomfortable you are in the future, you must endure it."
Yang Yingxue's heart trembled. "Mother, why? Was she born to suppress me?"
Xia Jingqiu smiled bitterly and her gaze shifted. "You once asked me why I married your father in Jiangnan despite the fact that my father was a Grand Master and was a Grade-One official with overwhelming power. Although I am the daughter of a concubine, if I planned carefully, I might be able to marry into an extremely powerful family."
"Mother, you willing to tell me the truth now?" Yang Yingxue had asked this question many times b
It was already dark, but the princess mansion was bright as day. The bright lamps radiated a layer of bloody red light. The servants who were called to the courtyard lowered their heads in fear of making any noise.Yang Yingxue leaned against Xia Jingqiu, and her eyes were filled with unease. "Mother, why did cousin suddenly invite us over? Is it because she knew what we said during the day?"Xia Jingqiu was also extremely nervous. Shen Ninghua could easily handle the matters in the Imperial Court. Therefore, she must be able to place her own mansion under her tight control without missing anything. "Yingxue, don't think nonsense. We didn't say anything bad about her birth mother or her during the day. It shouldn't be because of this matter. Let's just be calm and take a wait-and-see approach. Don't be frightened by your own foolish ideas.""Yes, I know, mother." Yang Yingxue bit her lips as she felt the serious atmosphere in her surroundings.
While Shen Ninghua was still investigating, the Xiao family had already received the news.Xiao Huanxi sat on the bed, and her face was pale with anger. "Didn't you say that no one would discover it? Didn't you say that Shen Ninghhua would definitely be killed? Now, she's fine, but a disaster is imminent for me!"Nurse Qi, Xiao Huanxi's wet nurse, knelt on the ground and said, "Miss, I obtained this prescription from a monk of Guangning Temple after a long period of inquiry. I was told that it was an extremely vicious poison left behind by the previous dynasty, and no one could solve it. I didn't expect that Princess Zhaohua would be safe and sound.""Excuses! You are just making excuses!" Xiao Huanxi stood up abruptly despite her weakness. She walked straight to Nurse Qi and kicked her in the chest. "Do you think I'm still as easy to fool as before?""Miss, I watched you grew up. I am 100% loyal to you. Please scrutinize."
Shen Ninghua once again cleaned up the uncertain factors in the mansion. She would investigate the remaining people again and bring them into the new Princess Mansion only after she was sure that there was no problem with them. Only in this way could the Princess Mansion be turned into an impenetrable fortress that no one could easily put spies in.Bai Ruo looked at the list in her hand and reported, "Miss, everything in the warehouse has been registered. You can check them at any time."Shen Ninghua flipped through the thick stack of sheets in her hand. "There are actually so many?" She only knew that there should be a lot of things in her warehouse, but she didn't expect that there would be so many."Miss, you made nearly 40,000 taels of gold in succession by saving people with your medical skills. In addition to your mother's dowry and His Majesty's reward, the most important source is Huajun Pharmacy…"Shen Ninghua nodded. With
A storm flashed through Shen Ninghua's heart. Which woman did not want an exclusive husband? She knew Chu Junyi's identity and knew that it was impossible for him to never take a concubine. She could tolerate him taking a concubine in the future, but it was definitely not now.Since she had already decided to marry Chu Junyi, her status as his wife must be perfectly justifiable, and before the marriage ceremony was held, she would in no way tolerate the existence of concubines.Shen Ninghua coldly swept her gaze over the complacent maidservant beside her, and her gaze was like a steel needle piercing straight into her heart. "Where is Chu Junyi?"The maidservant subconsciously took two steps back in fear. Her face turned pale. She suddenly realized that she was not facing a woman from a common official family, but a royal princess who was truly emitting dignity. "Young Master is in Miss' courtyard."Shen Ninghua's expression became
Chu Junyi forcefully swallowed his saliva to calm down the chaotic heartbeat in his chest. But he couldn't move his eyes away at all. "Ninghua, wake up."Shen Ninghua raised her head in confusion. Her eyes were filled with fragmentary light, as if there were crushed stars in her eyes, which caused her to lose her minds and become intoxicated. "Chu, Jun, Yi!"She pronounced every word very clearly. Probably the drug made her originally crisp voice a little hoarse. The last word "Yi" was extremely soft, as if it was pronounced from the tip of her tongue. Hearing it, Chu Junyi was intoxicated."Ninghua…"Just as Chu Junyi opened his mouth, Shen Ninghua raised her finger and pressed it against his lips. Her expression carried a trace of charm as she asked, "Am I beautiful?"Her waist was slender like a willow, her face was pink like a peach blossom, her mouth was red like vermillion, and her eyebrows were thin like new lea
Only now did Wang Wei start to be afraid. "Your Highness, I really know that I'm wrong now. I don't dare to do it anymore. Please forgive me." Earlier, he had been fascinated by Shen Ninghua's appearance. Coupled with Xiao Huanxi's constant bewitchment, he had the guts to plot against Shen Ninghua. He really didn't expect the consequences to be so serious.A cold smile rippled across her lips. Shen Ninghua didn't conceal the killing intent in her eyes at all. "You know you're wrong? Haha, when you are dead, I'll burn two pieces of paper money and tell King of Hell that I killed the wrong person. You can die without worries."Wang Wei was so scared that he almost wetted his pants. "Your Highness! Your Highness, don't kill me. I don't want to die."Shen Ninghua turned the jade bracelet on her hand and said coldly, "I'll give you two choices. First, I kill you directly. Second, I'll let you live, but I'll take revenge in other ways. Which one do y
Chen Yun checked Shen Ninghua's pulse and said, "Your Highness, your body is not seriously injured. However, due to the fierce medicinal properties yesterday and the poison of Dream Soul a few days ago, your fundamental health has been damaged. Therefore, you must take special care to rest quietly to recuperate this time so as to avoid aftereffects."When Bai Ruo and the other maids heard this, they immediately acted as if they were facing a great enemy. They carefully checked and inspected Chen Yun's prescription for fear that something would happen to Shen Ninghua.Shen Ninghua was amused. However, under the urgent gazes of the four of them, she didn't dare to be perfunctory. She drank the medicine and rested on the bed.She was about to fall asleep when she heard a loud noise.Outside the door, Shen Xuanlin and Yun Chuan stubbornly guarded the door, blocking a tall and upright youth opposite them. "What are you doing here? My el
When Xiao Huanxi returned home, she looked as if she had become a fool. She stayed in her room without eating or drinking. No matter how hard Xiao Jingran knocked on the door, she did not open it.Xiao Fengjue came in from outside and said to Xiao Jingran, "Father, it's time for you to go to court."Only then did Xiao Jingran realize that it was getting late. "Huanxi, I will go to court first. Don't worry. I will definitely get justice for you!"Chu Junyi had actually left his younger sister outside for a day and night for another woman. How dared he!Xiao Fengjue felt that something was wrong and quickly pulled Xiao Jingran back. "Father, how are you going to get justice?""Shen Ninghua relied on the His Majesty's favor to act recklessly in the capital. Did she think that there was no law that could control her? Also, Chu Junyi, he simply forgot who had raised him up and nurtured him!""Father! Don't forg
Bu Yonghan looked up, without the slightest bit of pride of being a princess in her eyes, there was only the fear and hatred that haunted her.Shen Ninghua looked at her with a cool expression, "It really didn't occur to me that our meeting again would be like this."Bu Yonghan sneered, "Now that I've fallen into your hands, I'll do as I please if I want to kill you.""Is that so? Listen to your tone as if you are not afraid of death, but your eyes tell this palace that you are afraid.""Oh, I would be afraid of you?"Shen Ninghua lowered her eyes, a cold smile flashed in her eyes, "Don't worry, I won't do anything to you, after all, you're also Prince De's rightful consort, I'll have someone send you back, and Tai Consort Qi and Prince De will naturally settle you down properly."Thinking of the desperate scene of being locked inside the empty room before, Bu Yonghan's body shuddered violently, "I'm not going back, I'm not going back!""It'
The Daan Kingdom's army garrison was quiet, and Slaughter Shadow, wrapped in black clothing, felt his way toward the garrison's source of drinking water.This time, the place where the army of Daan Kingdom is stationed is not far away is a river, the whole army usually water, are taken from the river, the soldiers guarding the river patrol day and night to protect the river safety, for fear that someone in the water to do something.At this time, the soldiers guarding the river did not realize in the slightest that someone had already taken advantage of the night and the cover of the grass to touch the river. Because he was worried that killing these guards would arouse the suspicion of the Great An Kingdom, Tu Ying could only creep into the grass and quietly open the box he was holding in his arms.The jade bottle emitted an ethereal blue light, and a hint of relief flashed through Tu Ying's eyes that had always been devoid of fluctuations. As long as he helped th
How could Bu Linglong not expect that she would see Shen Ninghua again at this time. At this time, she was in a sorry state, bound by ropes around her wrists, weakly kneeling on the ground, her eyes gripped with blackness. Knowing that at this time, she was completely without any advantage or credentials, she still tried hard to open her eyes wide and looked at Shen Ninghua who was sitting above her.Shen Ninghua came to the border city with Baili Junyi only yesterday, after a night's rest, her spirit recovered, because of her relaxed mood, the whole person seemed to be carrying a soft light in general, sitting up beautifully as if she didn't look like a real person, "Princess Linglong, I didn't expect that we'd meet again in such a way."Bu Linglong tilted her head and looked at her with an arrogant face, "Empress Mother, I also didn't expect that you would follow the Emperor to the border city."Shen Ninghua smiled faintly, "Is the princess's body alright?"
This personal expedition of Baili Junyi drew extra attention from the people of the entire Da An Country. In the nearly one year since he ascended to the throne, the Great An Country had experienced a lot of turmoil, but in the end, it had all come through unscathed. Nowadays, the emperor emphasizes pragmatic subjects, strictly combats corruption and bribery, and the official atmosphere of the entire Da An country is exceptionally clear.When the officials are clean, the lives of the people underneath will naturally be better. They treated Baili Junyi as a bright ruler, and now, this bright ruler is going to go on a military expedition, and with the Empress in tow, which is really heartbreaking.Many of the people who originally had little feeling for the Great Yue Country began to loathe them, believing that if it wasn't for them messing with the border, the Emperor and Empress Dowager wouldn't have had to put themselves in harm's way.Just as they were discussing
Baili Jun Yi dynasty announced that the future no longer consorts, the only queen of the harem one person, although the officials on the spot have different thoughts, but after repeated thought, they all tacitly choose to shut up and do not say anything.The emperor and the empress is happy, they do the subjects, or not what hope. Otherwise, think of those who jumped before the great officials down, and go to great lengths to let the emperor will be held in the election, and then, the election is not over, their official position is not, after that, implicated in the Palace of the daughter, even if it is the show girl is not also gray back to the Palace of the?They also sort of saw that the Emperor had no intention of bringing new people into the harem from the beginning.Originally, those courtiers dared to openly call the Emperor's bluff by virtue of their influence in the court, but now they have all been driven out of the court, and their fate is pathetic. The
Prince Yi stared wide-eyed, his eyes flashing with full shock, “How could the Tu Su family be related to the Great Yue State?" These ambassadors of theirs were locked up in the post house and were extremely misinformed on weekdays, and to this day, they still hadn't figured out the reason for the Tu Su family's overnight defeat.Baili Jun Yi hooked the corner of his lips, the two countries are once again at war at the border, and these messengers are no longer necessary to maintain the surface peace, he is even more lazy and he circled:"This matter I ordered to seal the mouth, Prince Yi naturally not clear, well, there is no more other things, you will step Linglong lead back, go back after a good sharpening of temperament, the next time a similar thing happens, I will not look at the face of the Great Vietnam lightly forgiven."Icy cold words were heard in his ears, shocking Prince Yi couldn't help but tremble in his heart, "Your Majesty, this king has taught his
Bu Linglong swept a glance at Xiao Bao, only to feel that this child was just as annoying as her mother, this was just a small age, and she was this vicious.At this point, she had completely forgotten that the reason why she had received this beating was entirely of her own making, and, for someone of her age to be reckoning with a three year old, she didn't know who the truly vicious one really was!Shen Ninghua's five senses were extremely sharp, sensing Bu Linglong's hidden anger and hatred, a cold light flashed in the bottom of her eyes, originally she didn't want to be concerned, but now she wanted to make things clear, otherwise, wouldn't it be better to let Xiao Bao have to bear a bad name at a young age?"Princess Linglong, is what Luo Yao said true?"Bu Linglong hurriedly defended, "Empress Mother, how could I have such thoughts, the reason why I stayed in the palace in the first place was because you invited me, and later on, it was even more so be
Within the palace, the palace examination began. Many officials pondered to wait until the end of the palace examination, must be written to submit a good chapter to the emperor, so that the emperor will be released from the palace daughters.For such a long time, they also sort of see that the Emperor said that he was starting a draft, but he did not mean to leave anyone in the harem.Today, half of the showgirls have been sent out of the palace. Most of them were implicated because of the fall of the previous officials, and not many of them are still in the palace today, and, moreover, all of them are the kind of family mediocre, even if they are in the palace, there is no hope of being favored.Moreover, some days ago, the eldest prince turned three years old, the emperor appointed the university scholar to enlighten him, looking at this situation is from a young age is going to treat the eldest prince as the depositary training. The eldest prince Baili Yong Che
Shen Ninghua frowned slightly, also somewhat unable to find a clue, “The Tu Su family has existed for more than a hundred years, started in the former dynasty, and the words of the former dynasty ... does it mean that the Tu Su family had a relationship with the Great Yue State in the former dynasty? Even to the serious speculation, Tu Su family is the nail that the Great Yue State has planted on our side."Baili Junyi gazed in contemplation, "What you said is extremely possible, a family that has developed a bit too legendary, moreover, if the Tusu family has no other purpose, why would they be so eager to control the courtiers and make a name for themselves?"Shen Ninghua nodded, "If what we've guessed is true, then the mind of the Tu Su family is simply too terrifying."If not for Baili Junyi's deep affection for her, then the Tu Su family's plan to have Tu Su Qingli approach him could have succeeded. That kind of cold beauty of a woman, to him to give up their
