"The daughter of the Dou Family, her name is Qing'e." These words were clear and firmly thrown into Qin Yunuan's ears. She believed that Qin Zhi, who was sitting in front of her, must have heard it more clearly. No wonder Qin Yunzhuang seemed so confident today, and Qin Linfeng picked up his arrogance before he was under house arrest. Everything was just because of the return of their mainstay, their mother. Dou Qing’e, who had been in charge of the Qin Family for many years, was coming back.
Also, she came back in the light of the old princess of Prince Ning's Mansion. Qin Yunuan didn't even know that the old princess had another old friend related to the Dou Family.
Seeing Princess Ning hesitated for a moment, the old princess seemed a little upset, "What? Don't you agree? Alas, I just want someone to talk to."
"Of course, I agree," Princess Ning smiled apologetically in haste. Her eyes shifted to Qin Zhi, who was stunned, "But this Dou was G
The wind blew fiercely. The scenes caught by Qin Yunuan turned from the black tiles and red walls at Prince Ning's Mansion into the lush woods. The person kidnapping Qin Yunuan stopped when they reached an open space in the woods. He put down Qin Yunuan and almost tumbled. Now Qin Yunuan could see clearly that the man got hurt on his left shoulder.The only sound in the woods was the rustle of wind blowing leaves. The man suddenly got alert and soliloquized, "He chases us here."At the moment Qin Yunuan was thinking about the "he" he meant, Leng Changxi jumped lightly on the ground like a ghost falling at night. The slightly tight cardigan showed his muscular body. He stayed still with his half-tied black hair blown a little by the wind. However, his eyes had already caught everything through the thick fog in the woods.Apparently, he was following them all the time."Don't come closer even for one step!" the person kidnapping Qin
Blown by the dry and mild wind of the early summer, the shadow of trees was dancing with the wind and the mottled moonlight on leaves was cast on Leng Changxi's upwind face, eyelids, thin lips and the tip of his nose. He was all covered with bright silver light, which set off his handsome and beautiful face more perfectly.Leng Changxi's face was almost the same as that of real Su Chenghai. It turns out that the cousin Su that they had seen regularly was Leng Changxi who had taken off his mask.How could it be possible? How could two people look so much alike?"It's you?" Qin Yunuan could hardly believe her eyes that the mask in her hand fell to the ground in an unimpeded way, "Is that you?"Qin Yunuan remembered that she was only five years old when Cousin Su came to the capital ten years ago. She was so happy when she heard that her cousin who lived far away was coming that she asked nurse Liao to take her to the Shili Pavilion s
Who was the backstage manipulator?Leng Changxi looked down at Qin Yunuan's slightly raised face. The fair face was as beautiful as jade. The inquiry and anxiety in her glance implied that she was clearly concerned about him. At least that was what he thought."I don't know," Leng Changxi hastily avoided the question.Qin Yunuan lowered her head without further asking. When they were about a dozen steps away from the backyard of Prince Ning's Mansion, they dismounted the horses and walked on feet. The back door was already cleared by the eighteen shadow guards. It was the courtyard where the birthday banquet was held at the far end of the pavement. The singing and dancing sounded slowly, and the Prince Ning's Mansion was still in a peaceful and joyous mood. No one would have imagined that just now. There was such a danger in the woods just a few miles away from Prince Ning's Mansion.Leng Changxi was walking in front, as Qin Yunuan
Qin Yunuan put Qin Baochuan behind her body to protect him. Now her eyes showed an incomparable determination and untouchable arrogance.Dou Qing'e widened her eyes. Qin Yunzhuang broke the silence first and shouted at Qin Yunuan, "Who are you? You are just a daughter of a concubine. How dare you speak to my mother irreverently."Qin Yunuan glanced slowly with indifferent eyes at Qin Yunzhuang who dressed very showy today and slightly surprised Dou Qing'e. She said lightly, "We shall leave because Baochuan should go to the family academy. I would not know how to replay to my father if Baochuan were to be reported by the teacher due to his lateness." She looked at nurse Liao and indicated her to take Baochuan out.Nurse Liao was about to take Baochuan out, but Dou Qing'e suddenly said in a higher voice, "You could take him out if you said to your father that you did not want to attend the selection campaign of imperial concubines for princes. On
The voice was strong and deep with a gentle and mild mood. Others might believe this man was a pious and kind prince with good characters in morality and ability, and he would be a promising one in the selection of the successor of the country. But in Qin Yunuan's view, the man in front of her was a merciless executioner who killed people cruelly.He was the Third Prince, Sima Ray.In her last life, Qin Yunuan almost had no connection with this man, but in this life, the man always appeared in her life.Although she disliked him, Qin Yunuan still stood up and gave an imperial salute to Sima Ray according to the rule of the imperial palace."Don't be so polite, Third Miss of Qin Family." Sima Ray smiled happily and wanted to support her to stand up. Crossing Qin Yunuan, he glanced at the very noisy distance, and then smiled to Qin Yunuan, "Third Miss, why don't you join the talks of those maidens?"Qin Yunuan noticed th
Soon, the courtyard decorated with various flowers came into sight. Those elegant imperial concubines wearing gorgeous outfits entered through the front door. Each was followed by at least four eunuchs and palace maids, who stood behind in a neat row.Qin Yunuan curtseyed with other concubines. Among them, in the front stood the Empress Chen, still presenting dignified and amiable. For the others, Qin had already met Imperial Concubine Yun, and heard of Imperial Concubine Xian, the most beautiful woman in East Qin whose full name was Wei Xian.One of the other two was Imperial Concubine Duan, who had been promoted to take care of the fourth prince, Sima Han after his biological mother died of dystocia. This was because she was the younger sister of the deceased. As Imperial Concubine Duan was benevolent and kind, and that Sima Han was not so clever, she doted on her dear nephew so much that it was very likely to spoil him. That was why Sima Han had already
At this moment, the one was an imperial concubine in the imperial palace, and the other one was a maiden from the mansion of Grand Commandant. The words of the fat nanny made people believe that Qin Yunuan seemed to gain some troubles again.Qin Yunuan stood straight in front of the window. She walked towards the nanny calmly after she heard the call from the fat nanny. She gave her a salute and said politely, "I will follow you, please."Qin Yunuan went out calmly but those maidens behind started to gossip again. Li Weijun said in a very sharp voice, "Oh, I almost forget. Where is sister Qin. Why doesn't she stay with us?"Just for a moment, they arrived at the splendid main hall. Qin Yunuan could feel the solemn phenomenon even she did not come closer to the hall. The Emperor Zhaoxuan, Sima Xiu was sitting at the center. On his right-hand seat, they were Empress Chen, Imperial Concubine Yun, Imperial Concubine Duan and Imperial Concubine Xian
Two Month! Sima Xiu had been very compassionate since Imperial Concubine Xian's physical discomfort. He didn't ask her to sleep with him for nearly three months. Now, Imperial Concubine Xian had been pregnant for two months. What else could it be if it wasn't a sinful child inside her?The gazes were sharp like arrows, and everyone held back the sentence. Even Sima Xiu, Emperor Zhaoxuan, could only bear the anger of being a cuckold. Clenching his fists, he said nothing. There were too many people in the room, and a trivial event would be enough to set off a storm, not to mention adding this incident. What's more, for the royal family's reputation, the secret should also be buried deep in the palace.Qin Yunuan seemed to see her desolation, her hardships, and the tiredness for the mundane life from the eyes of Imperial Concubine Xian. She had also seen such eyes when Li Qiqi looked at Su Chenghai. Those eyes wandered between Imperial Concubine Xian and Sima
