Auntie Qing immediately became vigilant when Mo Xuetong mentioned Mo Yufeng. She wiped her tears and stole glances at Mo Xuetong's face. As she did not find anything unusual about her expression, she explained carefully, "Eldest Young Master is pitiful now, and I lost Qiong'er. As I found that the maidservants in his yard couldn't take good care of him, I went to ask about it in person. That's why I have become a little closer to Eldest Young Master."
"Do you mean that Madam didn't take good care of Elder brother?" Mo Xuetong's expression grew cold. A hint of anger appeared on her face as she harrumphed coldly.
"Ah... No, no, I didn't mean that Madam didn't take good care of him. Madam's body is getting heavier, and thus it's inevitable that she can't take care of everything. Eldest Young Master is a man, so it's normal that she can't take care of him in all aspects of his life." Auntie Qing shook her hand hurriedly. She didn't dare to say anything bad abou
It was the desolate season of autumn when the Peony Garden was the most deserted. Fortunately, even though the Peony Garden was famous for peonies, there were also other flowers. Mo Xuetong had especially chosen a pavilion beside a lotus pond to meet with Miss Cai Rong. They had not seen each other for some time and Miss Cai Rong looked good. When she heard Mo Xuetong's arrival, she hurriedly put down the watering pot in her hand and followed Mo Lan to the waterside pavilion.Seeing Cai Rong come in, Mo Xuetong politely invited her to take a seat.While looking at the lotus pond outside the pavilion, the two of them started to chat leisurely."Miss Cai Rong, what do you think of the lotus flowers in this pond? How is it compared to the lotus flowers in Jiangnan?" Mo Xuetong asked with a casual smile.Miss Cai Rong relaxed when she saw that Mo Xuetong did not put on airs. She had been living a good life these days. She did not even
Her parents and relatives had passed away. After she had gone through so many ups and downs and had been forced to earn a living by prostitution, Cai Rong only wanted to go back to normal and live an ordinary life. She did not want to recall the unbearable memories of the past. Thus, her expression grew calm when she heard Mo Xuetong's question."My Lady, I really do not have anything else to ask for. It would be a blessing for me to be able to live beside rivers and mountains and forget about the past." As Miss Cai Rong knew that Mo Xuetong wanted to help her sincerely, her eyes grew red. She no longer tried to refuse, and looked at Mo Xuetong expectantly. The past was too bitter and she did not want to think about it anymore.Originally, she thought that she could look forward to seeing her parents, but she found that she had already lost them! Sometimes, ideas occurred in an instant. At this time, Miss Cai Rong really didn't want to think too much. She j
Not many people were on the stairs. It could be seen that there were more samples than the first floor and the material was much more gorgeous. There were as many people sitting beside and picking embroidery as there were downstairs. These customers were enjoying tea and chatting while shopping. Xiuning Workshop was getting more and more praised by the customers in this aspect.It was just a suggestion. Mo Xuetong did not expect Shopkeeper Xing to be such a business talent and so smart. She also did not expect there was such a clever man among the secret guards. Mo Xuetong praised him in her heart. Her gaze landed on Shopkeeper Xing who was leading the way, and a hint of darkness appeared in her eyes."My Lady, please!" Shopkeeper Xing brought Mo Xuetong into a small private room and asked her to sit down.Along the way, Mo Xuetong found that those private rooms were all occupied, but this one was empty. It was facing the window, so she could s
Mo Ye returned to King Xuan's Manor the next morning. At the same time, she brought news that Auntie Qing of the Mo Manor had fallen ill from fright. It was said that Yuerong Yard where Auntie Qing lived was haunted last night. According to her personal maidservant Nuanxiang, Auntie Qing saw a female ghost wearing a long white linen dress and her hair streaming behind her appeared at the head of her bed in Yuerong Yard.It was a little similar to the Fourth Miss. Nuanxiang entered the room as she heard an unusual sound in the room.In the evening, Auntie Qing rested early and did not ask anyone to accompany her at night, which was contrary to the way she usually behaved. Unexpectedly, such a thing happened in the middle of the night. Nuanxiang had slept outside. When she heard Auntie Qing's scream, she rushed in and saw a pale and miserable figure at the head of the bed. When the figure saw her coming in, she opened her big mouth and grinned at her.
Many people had come to the banquet held by Mingguo Manor. The smile on the corner of Mo Xuetong's mouth grew even more elegant and beautiful as she looked at the many carriages in front of Mingguo Manor. She was wearing a light green long dress today, and the jade pendant fastened to her waist belt made her look even slender and more enchanting.As she grew older, her features became even more beautiful. Her skin was as white as snow; her nose was tall and straight; her watery eyes looked bright and charming; and her lips were bright red. She was stunning even without any makeup. Princess Caifeng, who was standing opposite her, felt upset at the sight of her. She was considered the most beautiful woman of the Southern Barbarian Lands. However, compared to Mo Xuetong, not only was her face less exquisite, but her aura could not even be compared to Mo Xuetong's elegance."Consort Xuan, the Marquess Mingguo in your country is rather powerful. Look, wasn't it
"I was wrong. There are many places for admiring the flowers today. However, the best one is the Osmanthus Garden. It is now the time to admire the osmanthus flowers. Young Madam asked us to lead the noble guests there and set up a banquet there." The old maidservant was stunned, but then she put on a natural smile and explained to Mo Xuetong while pointing at the pavilion."Then let's go and take a look." Princess Caifeng was intrigued and walked in that direction before Mo Xuetong could reply.Mo Xuetong followed her slowly! As she walked while seeing the scenery, she lagged behind. Fortunately, she could still see Princess Caifeng occasionally appeared among the flowers and trees from a distance.The Osmanthus Garden was also connected to this garden. After a few turns, Princess Caifeng saw a garden emitting a delicate fragrance. When they went through the door, they saw the words "Osmanthus Garden" high above the moon gate. The handwriting
This kind of beautiful scenery was rare even in the imperial palace!The Seventh Princess also wanted to stay and have a look, but since the Sixth Princess had said those words, she could not refuse. She could not let the hostess wait ahead while the two of them enjoyed the scenery and delayed others' time. Both the Sixth Princess and the Seventh Princess were not as arrogant as the Fifth Princess, so they could not disregard others' wait.Moreover, Marquess Mingguo's wife had a high status. Even if these two were princesses, they couldn't go too far!Both of their mothers were not powerful. They had to watch others' mood in the palace."Then Sixth Sister, you stay here and enjoy the scenery. I'll go to see His Excellency's wife first," the Seventh Princess stated with a smile."Alright then. I'll go in and take a look at the scenery first. I'll meet up with you later," the Sixth Princess said as she motioned her palac
A woman's scream broke the peaceful environment when Duchess Mingguo was enjoying the scenery in the Osmanthus Garden with several other madams. Flowers slanted on both sides of the path. They were talking and laughing along the way. As they were chatting happily, they heard the scream. Moreover, the scream was nearby. As the hostess, Duchess Mingguo was naturally going to have a look. The other madams followed her to the place where the sound came from.When they turned a corner, they heard the panicked voice of women coming from the yard in front of them. Everyone hurried into the yard.The maidservant who rushed to the front screamed as soon as she entered. Then she ran out with a flushed face. She was panting in a panic. It was obvious that something had happened inside."What happened?" Duchess Mingguo frowned and asked coldly. No matter what happened, as the mistress, she was just as to blame."I... I, I didn't see anything!"
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
