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
Qin Yunzhuang who had come for greeting in the room stood out at once after she heard the sound, "Brother, you must be very exhausted after a whole night's journey. Father has said that you could sleep longer for a rest. Why you come here so early, brother?" In front of Qin Linfeng, Qin Yunzhuang looked so innocent and lively, like a child who needed love all the time.As expected, Qin Linfeng liked her action. He touched boldly the smooth long hair of Qin Yunzhuang even in front of Qin Yunuan. He smiled, "How come I feel tired? I come to see you and our mother." Qin Linfeng cared much about his lovely sister since he was a child. Qin Yunuan also knew that now they both grew up and their intimate behavior seemed to be over spoiled.Qin Linfeng glimpsed at Qin Yunuan but ignored her, greeting Xiu Gu beside Dou Qing'e, "I haven't seen you a year. Xiu Gu, you turn younger."Xiu Gu nodded happily to respond to him. How harmonious they were. Qin Yun
Followed by Tonger and Maner, Qin Yunuan walked straight back to her room after sending off Cui'e. The one who was cleaning the room was Tinghe. The servant girl was allocated to Qin Yunuan when she moved into the new courtyard. With delicate features and narrow shoulders, she looked very touching. But she was deft in working and was eager to do things."Okay, you can leave now, Tinghe. The room is clean enough." Qin Yunuan said to Tinghe quietly with a kind smile. However, the expression on her face changed as long as Maner closed the door after Tinghe got out of the room. "Have you figured out the history of this girl?"It was not that Qin Yunuan was plagued by imaginary fears. In the previous life, Dou Qing'e sent Tinghe to her when she was sewing the Crane Robe for the Empress. And then, out of nowhere, two silver needles were found in the Crane Robe. Now, as she thought about the whole thing, Qin Yunuan believed that Tinghe had something to do with the
Qin Zhi was still immersed in memories when a nanny came to report their findings. Under the withered willow roots by the side of the lotus pond, they found a strange wooden box made by agarwood.Butler Xie took the wooden box from the nanny and opened it under the permission of Qin Zhi. A repulsive smell flowed out as he opened a crack, which made him frown. The whole room was filled with the strong and suffocating smell."Master, it's musk," Butler Xie bowed and reported.Many women in the room took several steps back after hearing what he said. The musk could be used for making perfume and medicines. But it could also do great harm to women by such a strong smell, especially to those who were pregnant.The agarwood box looked quite old and its openings became bigger because of the wet air from the lotus pond. It seemed that the box had been buried under the tree for several years."Master, I was wondering if I shoul
