After the banquet, some guests went to rest; a few female guests went to appreciate the flowers with Princess Royal. The red plum blossoms looked very beautiful against the snow.
Mo Xuetong also wanted to rest but was held here by Princess Royal, thus she had to stay. The guests were all quiet, whispering in twos and threes and worshipping the scenery. Against the white background, plum blossoms were either blossoming or about to blossom. They booked both ethereal and lively, which was extremely beautiful.
Standing under a tree, Princess Royal looked up at the giant plum trees, appearing calm. She slowly said to Mo Xuetong, "Many of the plum trees here were transplanted from King Jin's garden. After a few years, there is already another plum forest."
At some point, only she remained by Princess Royal's side, even the princess's maidservants stayed away. The wind lifted the hem of Princess Royal's dress, looking bleak, as if she just happened
It was the time when she sent Mo Lan to Princess Royal. Mo Xuetong was slightly dazed and seemed to remember someone indeed walked past her back then. It turned out to be King Chu, Feng Yuxuan. Mo Xuetong slightly answered, "I didn't see Your Highness, please forgive me for my ignorance." Feng Yuxuan looked at her and his eyes looked dark. "Does Third Miss Mo hate to be with me or talk with me?" Mo Xuetong rose and stepped back to curtsy. "Your Highness, it's really inconvenient." Feng Yuxuan didn't imagine Mo Xuetong to admit it so straightforwardly. He couldn't help feeling startled, and then he smiled. "When I first saw you, I was thinking about where that girl came from. She looked so fragile and beautiful, yet so determined." She sent Mo Lan there and directly turned to leave without even a word! It was hard for a girl like that not to leave an impression! Mo Xuetong's eyes grew even colder, and
Feng Yuran stepped on Yu Mingyong's body and walked up to her, "What happened? Why are you still here? It's getting late now. Let's leave the manor together." A cold smile hung on his handsome lips. He walked up to hold Mo Xuetong's hand without any hesitation and left. There was a strange look in his eyes which were so similar to the devil's. His eyes shone with beauty under the sunlight and were extremely charming! Was Feng Yuran angry? Why was he angry for no reason again... Mo Xuetong did not understand why but knew that she should not annoy him at this juncture. She pulled her hand back slightly and said fearfully, "Your Highness, you're hurting me." "You dared to cut your own neck. This barely hurts, what are you afraid of?" Feng Yuran turned around and settled his handsome gaze heatedly on Mo Xuetong. He suddenly smiled, which made him appear even more charming. However, he loosened his grip and did not pull her along.
After the ladies and gentlemen had their afternoon naps, the Princess Royal had snacks laid out in the hall for everyone. The people gathered around to chat. The men and women were separated into two different halls. The female guests were led to the parlor. The snow outside had already been swept away and one could occasionally see beautiful red plum blossoms peeking out from behind the cornices. Plum blossoms were everywhere in the Princess Royal's manor. Most of the plum blossoms were red. Mo Xuetong was brought to the parlor by a maid. There was a luxurious carpet laid on the floor and beautiful draperies and decorations hanging above. The entire hall was luxurious and beautiful. The eight-sided palace lamps, the pink flower vases, white-jade vases with handles...There were two different sets of sandalwood tables and chairs that were placed in two circles with a heater in the middle. It was placed for people to chat while they enjoyed tea.
In the imperial study of Tianchen Palace, Lead eunuch Liu Xi stood outside the door, wearing the uniform of an ordinary eunuch. However, the three gold stripes on the edge of his sleeves showed that he was the lead eunuch of Tianchen Palace. Liu Xi only had one master in the palace and that was the current emperor, Emperor Zongwen. Of course, most of the people in the palace were all polite. They would always bow respectfully when they saw Emperor Zongwen's personal eunuch and greet him. Even the Empress would ask after the Emperor respectfully when she saw him. As such, Eunuch Liu Xi was also another word for power in the palace. Of course, this did not apply to King Xuan! It was almost time for dinner but King Xuan was still not done. He was still talking in the imperial study and it seemed that the matter would not cease if Emperor Zongwen did not agree. Liu Xi did not dare to slip away while the two were speaking, so he stood outside the
"Elder Sister He Xia, are you feeling better?" Mo Xuetong held her hand and took her pulse. "I am fine, Miss. I need to see Madam immediately. I have something to tell her." He Xia said firmly. Then, she sighed heavily and slowly calmed down. "Elder Sister He Xia, Mother has already passed away." Mo Xuetong said slowly, rubbing He Xia's icy cold hands as she looked at her. Her mother had already been dead for two years. He Xia had never returned to the manor but had drifted about outside. Why was this so? "Madam is gone?" He Xia was stunned. It was as if she could not understand what Mo Xuetong had said. She held Mo Xuetong's hand and asked her the same question repeatedly. "My mother passed away two years ago. She passed away shortly after you left." Mo Xuetong's eyes filled with sadness. She could almost see her mother's smile when she looked at her mother's ex-maid. She bit her lips softly as tears filled her eyes.
Mo Xiu left from the back door late in the afternoon. Everyone in the manor knew that First Miss was feeling poorly these days and needed medicine from time to time. The physician prescribed a medicine that was out of stock in the medicine halls. The shopkeepers only said that the medicine was arriving but they did not know when. As such, Mo Xiu would go to the shops every day to ask about it. Mo Xiu arrived at Renan Hall and spoke with the shopkeeper before going to the back. Most of the medicine was placed at the back. There were small rooms there where different medicines were stored. The shopkeeper lifted the curtains of one of the rooms and invited Mo Xiu in politely. There was a woman seated inside who turned around when she heard their voices. "Mo Xiu, why did you only come now?" She looked rather anxious and she frowned unhappily when she saw Mo Xiu. "Miss made Old Sir unhappy recently and everyone is making things diff
The Duke Zhenguo's manor carriage traveled along the streets. Sima Lingyun, who was seated in it, looked awful. He thought about how he had been looked down upon in the Mingan Duke's manor and how he had been teased. His handsome face twisted slightly and he clutched at the soft seat cushion beside him. He clamped down viciously on the roar in his heart. One day, he would show those people that he was not that useless. The horse carriage seemed to have hit something and stopped suddenly. "What's the matter?" Sima Lingyun asked coldly. He forced down the urge to pick up a teacup and throw it outside. "Your Excellency, the horse carriage hit a girl." The driver answered respectfully. Hit someone? Sima Lingyun frowned and released his hold on the teacup. He lifted the door curtains and walked out. Duke Zhenguo's manor was the subject of gossip recently. How dare he create any trouble? "Miss, Miss, how are you? Is eve
He Xia was sent away early in the morning. Mo Yu led her out from the back door because they were afraid someone would see her. Mo Xuetong woke up, did her ablutions and went to greet the Old Madam. Mo Xuetong stood in the cold for an hour before the Old Madam got up. The Old Madam sat on the heated stove-bed and grew tired after they exchanged a few words. She then chased Mo Xuetong out. "Miss, put on more clothes when you come to do your greetings. The winter wind is really cold and you might fall ill." Mo Ye glared at the Old Madam's courtyard. The female servants told them to wait where the wind was coming in. Mo Xuetong was so cold her face and lips were pale after standing in the cold wind for an hour. Her hands and feet were icy cold. The handwarmer had long turned cold. Mo Xuetong had always been poorly. She had only stayed in the warm room for a while before being chased out and could only walk with the help of Mo Ye.
It was midnight when Feng Yuran came back from the palace that night. Under the light, Mo Xuetong's beautiful face looked pink, which he had been praying for for a long time. Although he was tired and dizzy, he felt relieved.Fortunately, Bai Yihao did not make a desperate bet. That day, he looked calm on the surface, but in fact, he was already sweating on his back.If Bai Yihao had threatened him with Tong'er's life...If, Bai Yihao was determined not to give up...If Bai Yihao wanted to get Tong'er even if he would destroy her...He would really don't know what to do!Fortunately, there were not so many "ifs". Fortunately, Bai Yihao let go in the end. Even though he had already known Bai Yihao's character, he was still very nervous and flustered at that time in that place. Caring too much disturbed the mind. In this life, Tong'er was his weakness, but it was the weakness that he was willing to have.
Looking at the confident Bai Yihao who had a smile in his eyes, Feng Yuran suddenly put on an enchanting smile. He squinted at him and asked, "Tong'er is smart. If she knew that it was your mother who poisoned her mother back then and the poison in Auntie Fang's hands was left by your mother, what would you do?"This was a fatal blow, and Bai Yihao hid it in his heart. He thought that no one would mention it!The smile froze on Bai Yihao's handsome face. For a moment, there was a hint of blood in the corner of his warm eye. He put away the smile on his lip corners and looked at Feng Yuran viciously. "You're really funny. How could that poison have something to do with my mother?"That was the topic he didn't dare to mention. He even felt guilty and his heart was even twisted."It's a strange poison, so it must have come from a strange place. There was no way for an ordinary concubine to get it. Even though Auntie Fang died in the r
Since Yan Kingdom had taken in some remainders of Ding General Manor, the country would definitely become the Qin Kingdom's enemy. Bai Yihao was the commander-in-chief of Yan Kingdom. On the surface, the only person in the Qin Kingdom who could suppress the troops of Ding General Manor was King Xuan, Feng Yuran. In the past, Fu General and King of Xian were on different sides of Ding General Manor. They seemed to be friendly on the surface, but in private, they held each other back.The war drew near. Feng Yuran bid farewell to Mo Xuetong and led the army to the border. It was winter, so it was a little cold. Mo Xuetong stood on a small mountain town outside the city gate and could not help crying with a handkerchief in her hand when she saw the purple general's robe disappear from her sight.Mo Xuetong felt sad and could not hold back her tears when she thought that he had to go to the battle field and could not sleep well. The war was urgent and he had to
Yan Empress heaved a sigh of relief. Seeing Lan Yanwen looking calm, she said politely, "That's right, that's right. I can't stay here any longer. I'll leave this to you." She was still the dignified Empress of the Yan Kingdom."Goodbye, Your Majesty!" Lan Yanwen lowered his head and bowed respectfully, which was no different from his usual attitude. Yan Empress waved her hand with satisfaction, took her people to get on the carriage at the back door and returned to the deep palace.Yan Empress left, surrounded by a large group of people. Lan Yanwen slowly raised his head, and his beautiful eyes were inexplicably deep in the flickering light. He stared at the back of Yan Empress and walked to Princess Royal's body that was lying on the ground, speechless for a moment.The night was very quiet, as if the sound of people's breathing could be heard!After a long time, Lan Yanwen ordered, "Somebody, take Princess Royal Mingzhu out! Alo
It was Yan Empress's voice!In the dark, Mo Xuetong didn't dare to move. She bit her lips and even held her breath, hiding in the rockery. Although it was secluded, Yan Empress came with so many people, and she might find her. If Mo Xuetong fell into her hands, it would be terrible!"Sister Yunruo?" Princess Royal helped Nanny Qin to stand firm under the light. Looking at Yan Empress, who was protected by a group of secret guards and eunuchs, she slowly restored calmness.There was no guard around her, and the only person beside her was Nanny Qin, who knew nothing about martial arts. She was sort of alone now.Mo Xuetong also saw Lan Yanwen hiding in the dark beside Yan Empress. "He came as well?"This small courtyard of the Lan family gathered all kinds of powerful personage unexpectedly. It was quite lively."Sister Mingzhu, it's not easy for you to remember me. Why don't you come to my palace to have a
Seeing that there was something wrong with his expression, the Yan Empress knew that Bai Yihao was still worried. She gave a sweet smile and wrapped her soft arms around Bai Yichen's neck. Her breath was fragrant and she smiled seductively in his ear, "Don't worry. He still thinks that I really want to send some people to the East Palace and have been focusing on investigating the women in the Beauty Gathering Palace. When we succeed in the harem, it will be too late for him to do anything.""The old man won't suspect us, will he?" Bai Yichen paused for a moment and was still a little worried."Don't worry. Even if he senses something is wrong, he can't tell his son. Most of the imperial physicians in the palace are our people. When the right time comes, whichever palace he will die in, it has nothing to do with us!" The Yan Empress smiled as her eyes raked over Bai Yichen's handsome face, and she looked even more charming.However, as the two
With a thud, the memorials to the throne on the table were slammed to the ground, and Emperor Zongwen's face had darkened."Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please take care of yourself." Regardless of the memorials to the throne that were scattered all over the ground, Liu Xi hurriedly turned around to support Emperor Zongwen, who was about to fall down with one hand covering his chest. His usually calm face was filled with anxiety and panic."B*tch, that b*tch, how dare she... deceive me!" Emperor Zongwen's face was purple. He reached out to cover his chest and said a few words with difficulty. As he opened her mouth, he spat a mouthful of blood. Liu Xi only had time to cover his mouth with a handkerchief before he immediately became dispirited and was helped to sit on the throne."Your Majesty, please take care of yourself. Even if you don't look out for yourself, you still have to consider His Highness," Liu Xi persuaded anxiously as he served E
In the dark night, the wind rushed backward and poured into Mo Xuetong's mouth and nose. Her eyes were blurred. Subconsciously, she stretched her arms behind her, held the comer's waist tightly and buried her head deeply in his arms. Then she let out a breath slowly, her nose full of the scent of a familiar man. As she breathed, his scent heavily enveloped her, which made her feel inexplicably relieved and softened.The man gave a little chuckle in her ear, and his warm breath fell on her earlobe, making her itch like a feather. "Tong'er, don't be afraid. It's me!"In the satisfied sigh, she felt that his grip on her body was getting tighter.His voice was mellow and leisurely, like the alcohol that had been brewed for many years and was filled with an intoxicating aura.There was less noise following him. He landed lightly on a horse in front of him. Then Mo Xuetong was turned around and landed steadily in his embrace.
Mo Xuetong did not use the Lan family's horse carriage. There was indeed a horse carriage sent from the Crown Prince's East Palace parked at the entrance. After they got on the horse carriage, Qing Zhu asked, "Miss, how did you know that the person is not the true head of the Lan family?" There was nothing different in air, deportment, or appearance between the man and the head of the Lan family."I am just an orphan daughter of the Lan family. Even if the Lan family values me, there is a limit. Even if I can enter the East Palace in the future and be favored by His Highness, it will still be a matter of the future. The Lan family does not lack beauties in their back courtyard. It is already a great honor for me to send Minister of Public Works to meet me. It is said that Minister of Public Works is the best husband in the hearts of the princesses," Mo Xuetong stated with a faint smile. She took the tea that Qing Zhu poured for her and took a sip before she leisurely re
