In the capital city, the streets and alleys were filled with people, and they all gathered together and talked in a low voice about today's liveliest scene in Prefectural Princess Zhaohua's Mansion.
"The gift from Vice Minister Shen is really precious. I'm afraid that the gold and silver jewelry in that box can be used for several years if she uses one piece every day."
"That's nothing. You didn't see the gift from Princess Anning. That's what you call a rare gift."
"No, no, what you said is wrong. I've heard people say that the gift from His Majesty is really precious…"
The crowd gathered together and argued with great vigor as if they had seen those treasures with their own eyes.
Inside the Prefectural Princess Mansion, Shen Ninghua was sitting in front of the mirror. After she removed all the extra accessories on her body, she was only wearing a simple white dress. Then she loosened her long hair behind her.

Everyone was in an uproar. When they saw Shen Linghan only offered a few handkerchiefs as gifts, they had thought that this was because the Shen family had fallen and that she had no money. But now, it seemed that this was not the case at all.Although the glass jade bracelet she wore wasn't of the best quality, it was still worth several hundred or even a thousand taels of silver. If she really wanted to send Shen Ninghua a gift, she could almost buy any gift if she sold the bracelet, so that she wouldn't have to come over with a few handkerchiefs. They've heard that Shen Linghan had a heart of the snake, and it turned out the rumor was true.Whichever family had such a daughter would suffer a lot. No wonder the Shen family fell so fast!Shen Linghan bit her lips and glared at Shen Ninghua with hatred. She abruptly pulled back her arm and ran out. The surrounding discussions were about to drown her. How could she have the face to stay any long
Inside the room, Shen Ninghua was going over the ledgers when Bai Ruo led in Madam Zhang who had a pale face. "Your Highness, the Duchess of Wei is here."Shen Ninghua raised her eyes, and her attitude was neither warm nor cold. "Greetings, ma'am."Madam Zhang's expression was solemn as she swept her gaze over the maidservants beside her and said stiffly, "Your Highness, I want to talk to you alone.""Bai Ruo, you guys can leave.""Yes, Your Highness."Shen Ninghua got up and sat down on the seat beside her. She slowly said, "May I know what you want to talk about with me?"Madam Zhang stared at Shen Ninghua carefully. The veins on her neck constantly popped out and her voice became tense. "Shen Ninghua, you saved those disabled civilians just to attract my attention, didn't you? Now that I'm here, you don't have to put in any effort to test me. Let's be honest. What are your conditions for treating Ruyun?
Shen Ninghua was stunned. She had never carefully remembered her own appearance. Perhaps she was used to seeing the image in the mirror every time. At first glance, she had a sense of familiarity, but she did not realize that this person bore a resemblance to herself. However, after careful consideration, she understood."Yang Yingxue doesn't look like me; she looks like my mother.""Like the Madam?""Yes. When my wet nurse was still alive, she said that I bore sixty percent resemblance to my mother." Shen Ninghua stretched out her hand to touch her face, and a faint sense of longing flashed in her eyes. If only her mother was still alive!Bai Ruo was a little worried, but she didn't know what to say to comfort her. Fortunately, Hong Ling ran in and broke the silence in the room, which made her breathe a sigh of relief."Miss, I just went to take a look. The courtyard has been tidied up. It's Cuizhu Pavilion."
Yang Yingxue fiercely pinched her own palm so as not to lose her composure. The Second Prince worked as their coachman? What a great honor!Xia Jingqiu repeatedly urged them. "Then hurry up and go. It's getting late. Don't make His Highness wait for too long."Hearing this, Baili Anning looked at Shen Ninghua half-smilingly. She suggested with a wink: are they seeking patronage?Shen Ninghua smiled without saying anything.Because she was going out, Shen Ninghua purposely changed into a loose dress. Baili Anning's clothes were also very mediocre. Therefore, from the way they dressed, Yang Yingxue was the most eye-catching.When they went out of the back door, they saw a carriage parked by the side of the road. On the carriage's shaft sat a tall and upright man dressed in black. He was the Second Prince Baili Jinchuan.Seeing the Second Prince's handsome face and extraordinary temperament, Yang Yingxue was
Baili Anning frowned. Was this Yang Yingxue crazy? No matter how stupid she was, she should at least have some brain.Shen Ninghua turned around and changed the topic. "Cousin, I know that you want to save money for Second Master, but don't worry. These masters here have plenty of money, so hurry up and pick some hairpins."The shopkeeper of Treasure Pavilion heaved a sigh of relief. He secretly glared at Yang Yingxue. These people were all gods of wealth for the shop. Although they didn't come very often, every time they came, the money they spent was enough to generate one half of the shop's monthly income. In addition, they were obviously very powerful people. So he would always try his best to make these two young ladies happy to build a relationship. Today, this person almost destroyed it."Miss, I've wrapped up this gift and am ready to give it to you." The money these misses spent allowed him to make money even if he gave away some more
Seeing that Shen Ninghua was really going to leave, Shen Xuanlin got up from the bed regardless of his wound, but his butt and back hurt so much that he fell backwards and rolled off the bed.Shen Ninghua hurriedly stepped forward to help him up. "You are already stupid enough. What if the fall makes you even more stupid?"Hearing Shen Ninghua's teasing tone, Shen Xuanlin hurriedly raised his head and smiled like a fool. "Eldest Sister, have you stopped being angry with me?"Shen Ninghua covered him with the blanket and sat beside him. She said seriously, "Xuanlin, do you know your mistakes?"Shen Xuanlin put away his smile and said in a somewhat aggrieved tone, "Eldest Sister, I wanted to vent anger for you because I saw that she was disrespectful to you.""I know you did it for my good, and I'm touched, but I don't want you to become an impulsive person who is always acting recklessly."Shen Xuanlin's ey
Hearing this news, Baili Anning suddenly stood up from her seat and looked at Shen Ninghua a little hesitantly. "Ninghua, Second Sister-in-law's health has always been good. Why did she suddenly become so seriously ill? Is there some reason that..."Shen Ninghua's heart was chilling cold. "Your Highness, go take a look first. If possible, call Doctor Chen over.""Alright, yes."Princess Anning's heart was uneasy as she hurriedly left with her servants. Along the way, she only felt her heart tightening. Her relationship with Madam Zhou wasn't close, so she wasn't worried about her. However, she vaguely felt that Madam Zhou's illness should have a lot to do with Shen Ninghua. Had her Second Brother done something unusual?Shen Ninghua felt a little restless, so she let Bai Ruo take half a volume of Buddhist scripture and slowly copied it. After a while, her uneasy emotions gradually calmed down.Suddenly, a green-feather
Madam Zhou had been the Second Princess for many years. If she didn't even know that someone had tampered with her room, she would have been devoured by the concubines in the backyard long before. She only felt that she didn't have much time left, so she decided to harm Shen Ninghua at the cost of her own health. However, Shen Ninghua hated most when someone schemed against her using her marriage!She had told Baili Jinchuan that there was still a chance to save Madam Zhou. Whether to save she or not depended on his decision. It seemed that the Second Princess should be worried about her own life now.Just as she walked out of Madam Zhou's courtyard, Shen Ninghua almost ran into Xiao Huanxi.Xiao Huanxi didn't expect to see her here and was obviously stunned for a moment. Then a smile appeared on her face. "I didn't expect to see Your Highness here."Shen Ninghua said half-smilingly. "I didn't expect to see Miss Xiao here either."
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
