The old madam woke up, but she exclusively asked for Qin Yunuan. Qin Yunuan was shocked for a moment, but the servant girl who came to summon her had already gestured an invitation.
“Third young madam, please.” The servant girl guarding the door lifted the door curtain and let Qin Yunuan in. Qin Yunuan paid extra attention and noticed that the old madam’s servant girls had all been changed to the fit ones who had been trained with martial arts.
“Greetings, old madam. Are you feeling better now?” Qin Yunuan bowed towards the old madam, who was lying on the bed, through a couple of draperies. She could blurrily see the old madam leaning towards the pillow with an arm supporting her head, looking tired. The old madam raised her hand and gestured to make all the servants leave, and suddenly said loudly, “It has caused such a scene out there, yet you could still stay calm. Within the younger generation of the Prince’s Mansion, you’re the only one whom I could s
The next day morning, it was a very sunny day. Nurse Liao took out all those bedclothes used in winter and hang out them in the courtyard. The winter was coming, and it was getting dry gradually. Qin Yunuan, sitting in front of her dresser, was penciling her eyebrows carefully. Suddenly, she felt the warmth in her hand. It was Leng Changxi who used his big hands to cover the hands of Qin Yunuan gently. She could feel the familiar smell of the man in her tender-skinned neck, which expressed the boundless sweet love.Leng Changxi took the eyebrow pencil held by Qin Yunuan and then used another hand to pinch her jaw softly. With a soft smile, he started to fill in the eyebrows of Qin Yunuan unaffectedly."Yesterday, I came to the Imperial Palace, and the Queen Mother granted me a bottle of Baihua Yulu. I do not often use such kind of thing, so I thought she must award it to you." Leng Changxi suddenly took out a green bottle like performing magic and then put
Lighted by the sunshine, Xie Ruying was still beautiful and gorgeous, as if she had been a beauty walking out of a painting. No one could tell that her real face had been disfigured.Walking towards Xie Ruying, Qin Yunuan fired the first shot before she spoke up. "I will keep your secret from others, both there," Qin Yunuan said coldly and glanced at Xie Ruying's face. And then she looked down at her belly and continued, "and there. I won't tell others."Qin Yunuan was about to leave when Xie Ruying pulled her sleeve and asked anxiously, "How did you know? I've conceived everyone. I even spilled chicken blood on the underwear during my periods. No one has found out, except you, you monster.""Miss Xie," Maner and Ting Xue had kept a distance from them, waiting quietly at the entrance and exit of the slab bridge in case anyone should approach. So, Qin Yunuan did not need to worry about being heard, "Was that your way to beg my help? Really?"
The Jingxi Palace and the Jingchen Palace were built next to each other. The former was the residence of the Grand Prince Sima Ruo, and the latter was the residence of Prince Ray. The two princes had always been regarded as the most powerful competitors for the throne. Their palaces were adjacent, and they were compared day by day. The comments made the two form opposite characters.Sima Ray was well adapted to this life of scams. He learned to be more ruthless than others, and Sima Ruo was undoubtedly the most tragic character in this political struggle. His rebellions each time was a cry at the end of his rope.At a hidden corner door of the Jingxi Palace, a woman in a black cloak had been waiting for Qin Yunuan for a long time. Seeing Qin Yunuan from afar, she hurried up."Infanta Ping, you are finally here."Qin Yunuan lifted off her brim and glanced at the woman in front of her. She is a typical gentle beauty in the regions so
The mother of the Grand Prince, Imperial Concubine Yun, was the sister of General Meng. He was paramount and powerful, as he was in charge of forty percent of the armies of Qi. What was more, he trained an elite cavalry called “Dragon and Tiger Cavalry”. When the Grand Prince, Sima Ruo, was 20, he gave him 300 cavalrymen of Dragon and Tiger Cavalry as a gift. Even the emperor couldn't interfere with the issue. In order to distinguish them, General Meng's Dragon and Tiger Cavalry were marked by lily while Sima Ruo's Dragon and Tiger Cavalry were marked by crape myrtle.The words had a great effect. All the people looked at the crape myrtle mark on the soft sword. The words seemed to corrupt people's hearts.Emperor Zhaoxuan looked solemn. His fingers knocked on the golden armrest of dragon throne. Then he looked at Wanyan Ba apologetically, "Sorry that it makes you scared, the Grand Prince of North Di. Today the state banquet is ruined, and guests have to re
"Your Majesty!""Your Majesty! Somebody help. Empress Chen blacks out!"At once, everyone flooded here. Servant girls and eunuchs went around to send the message that Empress Chen blacked out. In spite of losing consciousness, Empress Chen was still able to hear what people around her said. She clearly realized that she had fallen into the trap of Sima Ray, a ruthless and ungrateful man who she spent ten years bringing up.In front of her, Sima Ray suddenly was not as obedient and humble as he used to be. She miserably grinned and wore a bitter smile. Then the knockout drops in her tea worked again, and she completely lost her consciousness.Sima Ray, who looked excited, tended to step forward but was stopped by Leng Wu. He shook his right hand slightly but held himself back, merely staring at Leng Changxi who was indifferent."Empress Chen is under fierce emotional changes now. We don't know whether she is all right.
People only remembered Empress Chen to be gentle and dignified, but little did people know that the Emperor loved the mother of the Seventh Prince Sima Qiu, Imperial Concubine Shu, the most. The Emperor loved her so much that he wanted to name Imperial Concubine Shu the Empress as Empress Chen wasn’t able to get pregnant. However, the case of poisonous magic had touched the Emperor’s nerves. Not only did he either kill or exile every eunuchs and palace servant girls in Imperial Concubine Shu’s palace, but he also sent Sima Qiu, who was only six years old by then, to the remote Royal cemetery. He claimed that he wanted to let Sima Qiu guard the cemetery for him, but it was just another form of exile.It was an eventful autumn ten years ago. Right after Imperial Concubine Shu was put into jail because of the case of poisonous magic, she committed suicide in jail. It was also then when the Weiyang Palace was on fire. After that, Empress Chen became the crucial assistant of
Prince Ning? To Elder Princess?Qin Yunuan frowned. She had never thought that the lifetime lover of Prince Ning, who was very fond of Princess Ning, was Elder Princess.Sima Qiu continued, "It was said that when the Elder Princess's procession of imperial matrimony for peace arrived at Niutouling, the border of West Xia and Qi, they got robbed by bandits, and suffered heavy causalities. And even Elder Princess was missing. Prince Ning searched within fifty miles around for several months, and the emperor also dispatched troops to join the searching, and even the arrogant West Xia increased more people to search her. However, they all could not find her."And then Sima Qiu smiled, "There was a strange point. Niutouling was located in the area which contained only a few mountains, but people from three parties could not find anything.""Somebody hid Elder Princess on purpose?" Qin Yunuan posted a bold guess, though it was said that
"Pregnant?" Qin Yunuan asked with a sweet smile, "Are you sure?"Holding her head high proudly, Qin Yuwan started to flaunt, "Of course. The doctor had confirmed. Well, I did not mean to tell you now. You were.... But you know, you had a miscarriage, and I don't want you to be uncomfortable."Clearly, these words were intended to make her uncomfortable. Qin Yunuan sneered in her heart, but she did not show the emotion on her face. "No, not at all. You are my sister. I'm very happy for you.""Okay," Qin Yuwan pretended to be generous, "Then I will not blame you for sending me the jewelry used by Consort Cao on purpose."What a silly woman! Qin Yuwan actually mentioned Consort Cao before Princess Ning.Not surprisingly, Princess Ning pretended to cough a few times to conceal her unhappiness. Qin Yunuan leaned forward slightly and then replied, "You must be joking."At this time, Tang came here together with
