Li Qiqi seemed a little flattered, a concubine did not need to cover her head with a cloth when she got married. At this moment, her beautiful face became more and more dazzling under the candlelight, forming an ironic contrast with the wrinkles at the corner of Dou Qing'e's eyes.

Li Qiqi was still hesitant while Qin Zhi, who was on the side, spoke first, "It's rare that my wife Qing'e is so courteous. It seems that worshipping the Buddha for half a month can really purify a soul."

He called her "my wife Qing'e". It had been years since he last called her like that. Dou Qing'e forced a bitter smile. She had done so much for the Qin Family and yet Qin Zhi had never praised her for it. Now that she merely gave his new concubine a couple hairpins, he was full of tenderness. This was the man that she wanted so badly to keep to her own.

"Huh, it's all about her face." After the tea was finished, naturally Qin Zhi carried Li Qiqi back for the wedding

    "Where is Concubine Liu? Why wasn't she here?" Dou Qing'e sipped the tea and pretended to worry her.Qin Yuwan's hands shook and the tea was almost spilled, "My mother is busy in the counting house."Qin Zhi felt unsatisfied and slapped the table, "What is happening now? The Hai Tang Courtyard now is on big fire, but why is she now busy in accounting, such little business?" What Qin Zhi really meant was that he and his lovely concubine got astonished and everyone should be here to comfort them.Half of the people present here disliked Concubine Liu, but they felt unhappy when they saw Qin Zhi took side in Li Qiqi very much."Maybe not," Qin Yunuan said calmly, "It's windy very much tonight and it's blowing east wind. The counting house is very close to Hai Tang Courtyard and now everybody focuses on saving Hai Tang Courtyard. I am afraid of the security of counting house…."Before Qin Yunuan finished, at the door, a hu

    "The two people were likely to be afraid of their masters," Qin Yunzhuang just glimpsed at Concubine Liu kneeling on the ground, "Or, the two concubines threatened them, but they dared not to do that.""Sister, why are you so urgent to defend these two people?" Qin Yunuan smiled, and said to Nanny Qiao, "You mean it was the two concubines that forced you to purchase inferior goods. Apart from those wooden charcoals, is there any other evidence? Do you get the receipt?"Nanny Qiao was stunned, with her fingers rubbing her apron in her waist, "I… I forget. We mansion Qin is so familiar with those merchants of goods. We usually settle the accounts every three months if there is no other reason.""Then, that's weird," Qin Yunuan smiled with a handkerchief covering her face, "Just now my mother said that it was commonsense to do a backup when doing the accounting, and these two concubines were their first time to do the house management. They lacked

    The first thing Qin Yunuan did after returning to the Fuxi Courtyard was to take a look at Baochuan. Nurse Liao was guarding outside his room, and when she saw Qin Yunuan coming, she said to her in a soft voice, "Second Master has not woken up yet. He must be very sleepy last night."Qin Yunuan gave her a smile and walked straight into the room. While a cold blast of air poured into the room, Qin Baochuan still curled himself up in the quilt and remained unmoved.Qin Yunuan took a seat beside Qin Baochuan's bed. With a faint smile, her face was as still as the surface of a lake."Having slept for a whole night, you should have had enough." Qin Yunuan tipped the bedside and continued speaking, "You are not a sleepyhead. So, tell me, why do you pretend to be sleeping in front of father?"The quilt moved slightly, but still, Qin Baochuan made no sound. After a while, a small head got out of the quilt and murmured, "Father? I don't wan

    Su Chenghai and Qin Yunuan were left in the room alone after Concubine Chang went back. Qin Yunuan seemed to have something private to say, so she asked Maner and Tong to stop serving tea and wait outside. Nurse Liao also went out in a hurry after putting down a stem-dish with Glutinous Rice Balls on the table.Qin Yunuan smiled warmly and pointed to the five-colored Glutinous Rice Balls in the plate. "Do you still remember this dessert, cousin? It was our favorite in the childhood. We had even fought over it. Have a try and see whether it is as delicious as before."Su Chenghai made a big grin sincerely, "It really was a long time ago. I could not remember clearly."Qin Yunuan didn't say anything. She just stretched out her fair hand and picked one into the small porcelain plate for Su Chenghai. "Have a try." She smiled.As Su Chenghai was enjoying the dessert, Qin Yunuan continued speaking, "Cousin, Yunuan has to thank you again

    Qin Yunuan saluted hurriedly. After general greetings, Chun Gu and Huang Dashi retreated to give them space to discuss the business affairs."Miss Yang, you have a very bold idea. But I wonder how confident you are about this sale?"To the boss, Qin Yunuan claimed to have a surname "Yang". On the one hand, she was trying to hide her identity. On the other hand, all of her embroidery methods and patterns were learned from the handwriting notes of her birth mother, Yang. Qin Yunuan did nothing but sort the notes out in order. Boss Shen was testing Qin Yunuan's ability by asking this.Qin Yunuan thought of the previous life when Qin Yunzhuang asked her to embroider various samples and pieces to the palace and please the Empress. Confidence rose inside her when she recalled that the Empress often praised her for the embroidery. She questioned back, "Boss Shen, you have seen my embroidery. What do you think?"Qin Yunuan kicked the ball

    Impossible! Dou Qing'e rushed down the stairs with Qin Yunzhuang. Squatting down, the girl even took a look into Li Qiqi's eyes. "Gosh, it's Concubine Li." Qin Yunzhuang cried and put her hand at her heart.Li Qiqi sat on the ground with a distressed look. Rubbing her swollen ankle, she found creases of all over her new layered dress after the pulling and dragging. There was also an opening in the hemline that was about a finger long and half a finger wide. However, it seemed that the opening was torn before this incident.Dou Qing'e was so surprised that she couldn't speak. It was not until a moment later did she open her mouth and stuttered, "Sister Li, how are you? Why didn't you say it out clearly?" Dou Qing'e knew it well that Li Qiqi meant a lot to Qin Zhi in his heart, so she had to calm Li down, "Aw, if you said it just now and came out, everything wouldn't be like this....Come, let me see if this left any scars?"Li Qiqi was not pushov

    In fact, Qin Yunuan was still in the First Boite of the Royal City a while ago. As for Dou Qing'e sending Cui'e to the Fuxi Courtyard to deliver a message was merely an excuse to make sure that Qin Yunuan had not returned yet.Qin Yunuan smiled slightly, "Indeed, I was not in the Fuxi Courtyard." Dou Qing'e's face immediately rekindled with joy but it was suppressed by her without any trace. "At that time, I was in Concubine Chang's yard. I was there all day today."Concubine Chang smiled and nodded, "That's right. Yunuan came here early in the morning, saying that she wanted to discuss the congratulatory gift to the second master for having a son."The second master of the Qin Family, Qin Chang, was a fellow brother of Qin Zhi. They separated many years ago, but he became the sixth-class official of the Dali Temple because of the identity of Qin Zhi as the Grand Commandant. His wife came from a merchant family. Therefore, he was very rich and

    It reminded Dou Qing'e of the last fire. She did cause a big disgrace of Concubine Chang and Concubine Liu in front of Qin Zhi, but finally the emergence was resolved by the letter of boss Yuan. She had dispatched people to investigate. Boss Yuan had come back hometown early and he couldn't send a letter to the mansion. However, there was a seal on that letter. She had no idea how the seal was gained. If Qin Zhi allowed the discussion about this issue, she would figure out the whole thing and tell all to Qin Zhi."I'm off if no more things here." Concubine Chang gave a gentle salute. This time, she decided to help Qin Yunuan publicly, which meant that she chose a totally different way from Dou Qing'e. Concubine Chang just ignored the malicious eyes of Dou Qing'e. Dou Qing'e had a strong family background, but if Concubine Chang kept relying on Dou Qing'e, Baoduan would be an idiot like Qin Yuzhao. If she allied with Qin Yunuan, she could ensure Baoduan to grow up safely

    The burning of the city was the cruelest. In addition, it was the Royal City with a prosperous business and a large population. If Sima Ray was determined to have a life-or-death struggle, the people of Qi would suffer.The emperor of Qi looked at his unfilial son in front of him, feeling so furious. He pointed at Leng Changxi and said, "Get me the head of my rebellious son. I will spill his blood in front of the ancestor temple. I'll let all the ancestors see that there is such a rebel in our Sima Family."Sima Ray raised his head and his eyebrows slightly, looking so indifferent. It seemed that a bad reputation didn't matter to him at all, "I don't care at all. Besides, you never regarded me as a member of the Sima Family when I was growing up, right? You've always been ashamed of my mother. You felt it a shame to rape a maid and make her pregnant when you were young, so you never treated me kindly. I am just dispensable to you.""What nonsen

    With his hands tied up behind his back, Leng Changxi remained so calm that people couldn't help bearing scruples. He looked up at Sima Ray and said, "You can kill your friends, brothers and soldiers at will. But I can't. I care for my men."When Sima Ray didn't figure out what he meant, Shi Ruisheng suddenly took out a sword that was tied to his waist. He wielded the sword to cut off the rope that tied Leng Changxi, and the latter was free at once."General, take it." Leng Changxi didn't take any weapon with him. And right because of this, Sima Ray wasn't fully on the alert. But at this time, Zhuge Qingtian shouted and directly threw the black-iron spear at him. Zhuge Qingtian had very strong arms so that the spear directly stabbed into the battlement after flying several hundred meters."Shi Ruisheng, how dare you disobey me?" Sima Ray always thought Shi Ruisheng was his loyal pawn. But unexpectedly, he should betray him at this crucial time.

    Sima Ray had occupied Yu Haitang's body at the moment. However, Yu Haitang's appearance began to change because Sima Ray used the body to practice martial arts day and night. After a long time, he looked no different from Sima Ray's original appearance at a glance.Seeing Yu Haitang's shocking change, Qin Yunuan thought that the people around Yu Haitang might have noticed something. However, they all agreed to say nothing. To keep silent was the key to survive beside Sima Ray.Now Marshal Yu had already been a young man who looked exactly like Sima Ray without the name of Prince Ray."Leng Changxi, there are smoke bombs in four colors in my hands, red, yellow, blue, and green. They are responding to the codes of the people watching bonfires in the four corners of the Royal City respectively. Red is the east. Yellow is the west. Blue is the south. Green is the north. As soon as I let go of the smoke bombs, someone over there will immediately lea

    "You want evidence?" Qin Yunuan raised her tone. She was considered a fool. Qin Yunuan suddenly reached out to grab Shi Ruisheng's collar. She was ready to see what's inside it."What are you doing?" Shi Ruisheng's face turned red. He covered his clothes with mild strength."What are you thinking?" Qin Yunuan stared at Shi Ruisheng. She grabbed Shi Ruisheng's collar, revealing three moles, which had a triangle shape besides his collarbone. "Yes, I remember, the elder male cousin Su has it. You were him, this is right, but," Qin Yunuan looked at Shi Ruisheng, and went up to drag his sleeve."Yunuan, what the hell are you doing?"Shi Ruisheng was shy about Qin Yunuan's bold behavior. Besides, he treated her well all these years."See," Qin Yunuan pointed at the thin black line on Shi Ruisheng's arm, "This is the poison I used to suffer. The origin of it was the Tamuer Village and the white poplar forest outside it, which

    "You…" Qin Yunuan slightly opened her mouth, looking at Shi Ruisheng, who had a completely different appearance from Leng Changxi. She remembered that her cousin Su Chenghai did look familiar with Leng Changxi. However, Shi Ruisheng's temperament was quite another. The sense of Confucian scholar hid behind his expressions.Shi Ruisheng's words were doting. He seemed to learn from Leng Changxi to act in a mild and indifferent way."What's wrong? When you were a little girl, you wouldn't be like that. You used to talk a lot, but now…mature a little more, words little less." Shi Ruisheng said it naturally with the feeling of a brother. Qin Yunuan disdained him."That's because I have nothing to say to you now." She finished her words and left the tent. Shi Ruisheng wanted to chase her but was stopped by Leng Changxi, "Just let her go. Calm down, and she will be fine."Qin Yunuan kept walking. Along the way, she couldn't help but look

    Qin Yunuan read the two documents in her hands. After comparing back and forth, she suddenly smiled and looked at Leng Changxi. It seemed that the two people could understand each other without speaking.In the morning half a month later, the mist dissipated gradually. The profile of the city wall, which was getting clearer little by little from afar, was outlined by the morning sun with a golden rim. The Royal City in the distance was the largest power center of Qi. Gold worshippers and desperate gamblers gathered here, crowding in the tiny space and thinking that they could gain fame and fortune. However, they all became the playthings of power."The world is supposed to be governed by the strong authority," a man in silver armor stood in the golden morning light on a high mountain from afar. The black iron spear in his hand glowed with cold murderous intent. The solemn atmosphere made people breathe cautiously."General Leng, it is me who he

    Seeing that Heiying's face gradually become pale, showing a kind of dying helplessness, Qin Yunuan opened his eyelid and checked carefully. Leng Shuang seemed to be a little flustered."Madam, I..." Leng Shuang took a step closer."It's none of your business," Qin Yunuan turned her face to comfort Leng Shuang, "Besides, even if you don't kill him, Sima Ray will kill him. Even if he isn't killed by Sima Ray, he will be punished by me. How can he leave safe and sound after bullying my people?"Leng Changxi glanced at Heiying and ordered his servant, "Take him back." After saying this, he stretched his hand and pulled Qin Yunuan directly onto the horse. When he passed Tuoba Wuyu, he nodded with concern, "Thank you for your hard work."Qin Yunuan sat behind Leng Changxi. Putting her arms around the edge of Leng Changxi's armor, she lowered her head slightly, "It's so surprising that...""Nothing is surprising," Leng Changx
