Now it was all right. Duke Ding explained the situation to the Emperor, which indicated Ding General Manor took the side of the Emperor and would also completely cut off their support of the Empress Dowager. Anyway, Ding General Manor would never stand on the Empress Dowager's side anymore, and thus, of course, would never rebel with King Ning.
Duke Ding mentioned this intentionally in order to gain the Emperor's approval. Just as King Chu had expected, the Emperor cleared Rui'er of her crime and regained her place as the first consort. It was also considered a way of returning the favor and making Ding General Manor look good. At the same time, it also hinted that Duke Ding could not act rashly.
This was what Duke Ding hoped for the most right now. After all, it was not the right time to fall out with the Empress Dowager. In others' eyes, she came from Ding General Manor anyway. If he offended the Empress Dowager, who knew how she would deal with him? Afte
"Nothing to do, just act like Old Eight has come to you. Remember, after you enter King Xuan's Manor, you must be generous, dignified, and do everything with Mo Xuetong at the top. No matter what she says, you should agree. Let Old Eight know that you are a smart and gentle woman, so that you can slowly walk into his heart and replace Mo Xuetong.""Your Highness, will, will it work?" He Yufen asked in surprise. Hadn't they told her that when she saw King Xuan, she should do her best to seduce him?"Yes, it will work. As long as you can hold on to that, everything will be yours in the future. Yufen, remember, you need to always be gentle and stand behind Feng Yuran. No matter how many women he has or what kind of woman he likes, you can't be suspicious or jealous. Then years later, you will be the successful one."Just like herself, once she was like another Consort Xian. Although they were both in the palace, the Emperor did not take her into h
The maidservant's words made He Yufen's face darken. She almost crumpled the handkerchief. The left was considered as honor in ancient times. Even if the central house was occupied, they should give her the house on the left to live. But now they asked her to live in the house on the right side. Even a few maidservants were trying to suppress her. However, she could not stay outside because she was wet all over. On the one hand, it was not decent, and on the other hand, it was very embarrassing. She simply entered the house on the right side, and intended to change it later when there was a chance.So she gritted her teeth and contained her anger. Instead of talking much with two maidservants, she took her people into the wing room on the right. There were five rooms in a row, and it was enough for the master and servants to live together. When she came to the manor, she only brought a nanny and a maidservant. They piled up the dowry in a room alone, and made some space
But Mo Xuetong always felt that it wouldn't be that simple. In the first several years after Consort Zhao entered the palace, Consort Xian was favored. Consort Zhao was like a shadow around Consort Xian and looking after her. At that time, the He family could not get any benefit from her. Then Consort Xian passed away, and Consort Zhao was "protected" and favored.During this period of time, even if Consort Zhao had connections with the outside world, it was secret. Therefore, it was impossible for her to speak well of the He family in the face of the Emperor. This time, as soon as the Mingyue Palace was open and Consort Zhao showed up in front of everybody, the He family hurriedly contacted her and even collaborated with Lian An.Considering that they had not met for 10 years, and Consort Zhao had never brought any benefit to the He family since entering the palace, why did the He family think that Consort Zhao would definitely help them? Even if she was a
Xiang Xieyue was sick and weak, but he was a gallant man. Learning that he had some ancient books hidden in his house, Qin Yufeng borrowed a book from Xiang Xieyue immediately. Later, they agreed to come to the restaurant today, and Xiang Xieyue would bring the ancient book for Qin Yufeng."Brother Qin, I'm flattered. How can I achieve success in the exam? I just want to have a try, so that my many years' hard study won't be in vain. Whether I can succeed, it's not important. Just look at me, you'll understand, Brother Qin. Even if I succeed in the exam, I'm afraid the Emperor won't be pleased with me, not to mention anything else." Xiang Xieyue smiled bitterly and pointed at his thin body.To be an official, at least he must have a healthy body, but he did not look well."Brother Xiang, our body, hair, and skin are given by our parents. We should cherish them. As for the official rank, it was a little bit in a bubble. You don't have to care."
At that time, the man was very ill and his face was pale, but as Mo Xuetong touched his skin while feeling his veins, she found that his flesh under the skin was taut and elastic. It definitely didn't belong to a long-sick person who had been ill in bed for years. Besides, the reason he said was strange as well. How could a sick person leave his servant just to get to the Puguang Temple earlier when he was clear that he was in poor health?All these indicated that there was a problem with Xiang Xieyue.Mo Xuetong herself was in constant trouble, and did not want to interact with such a suspicious person too much, so when Xiang Xieyue called her Third Young Miss Mo, she did not explain it. Although she was smiling all the time, her expression looked faint, with slight vigilance in her eyes."Third Young Miss Mo, I didn't have time to thank you at that time before you went down the mountain. And during this period of time, I'm in bad health, and
Since two groups of people bumped into each other at the staircase, the storekeeper came out to mediate. Based on the principle of amiability attracting riches, the storekeeper smiled and said, "Miss, please don't angry. Let's try to get along. Please tell me which private room do you want to go to?""Who are you? How dare you to run into our madam. Do you want to die? Get out of the way." Sure enough, a servant would be like her master. Ling Mingyan was an arrogant person, and her maidservant was also unbridled. At this time her servant yelled at the group in front of them, hands on hips.The one on the upper steps wearing a veil, so others could not see her face clearly. But her clothes were all unusual and expensive, and according to her temperament, she was not an ordinary person. As Mo Xuetong's eyes fell on the phoenix hairpin that was inserted on the side bun, she was shocked in the heart. With a frown, she did not speak, but took a few steps back to
"I really didn't mean it. I just heard... I felt sad..." Ling Mingyan felt wronged, sad, and oppressed. Looking at the charming prostitute, she couldn't help crying. Tears immediately fell, and she sobbed, "How can I want you to be joked? Don't you know what I'm thinking in my heart? I am willing to do anything for you, but... but..."But she just didn't want to see other women around You Yuecheng.You Yuecheng waved his hand, and the woman sitting beside him stood up, saluted him respectfully, and retreated."Come and sit." He pointed to the brocade stool beside him. His attitude was gentle.Seeing that the woman was gone, Ling Mingyan came subconsciously to sit on the brocade stool pointed by You Yuecheng. Her eyes were still full of tears, and she looked like an aggrieved person. No one could think that Ling Mingyan who was arrogant outside was as adorable as a little sheep in front of You Yuecheng."Is that woman p
Ling Mingyan nodded in a rarely gentle manner, and then made a bow to You Yuecheng like a perfect wife. After that, she got on her carriage with the help of her maidservant. She was so ladylike, making Mo Yu who watched upstairs burst into laughter.She really didn't expect Ling Mingyan, who had always been arrogant and rude, to have such an adorable look.Mo Xuetong took her handkerchief to cover her mouth and also smiled. Ling Mingyan got on the carriage sheepishly. At the moment, she was so happy that she did not notice a trace of disgust in You Yuecheng's eyes, but Mo Xuetong saw it clearly. You Yuecheng turned away in a resolute manner, without any reluctance. The situation of the two was still the same as when Mo Xuetong just came to the capital—one chased and the other escaped.In the past, Ling Mingyan knew that You Yuecheng didn't like her, but she still pursued him relentlessly. And now it seemed You Yuecheng had taken a different mea
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
