Although He Danggui was a little astonished, she hid her shock with calm expression. Lu Jiangbei stopped for a moment and looked at her, so as to get some information from her eyes. But he only felt that the girl’s eyes were very different from those of others. Her eyes were as clear and deep as the water in the well under the moonlight. However, there were some cold things in her eyes, so he couldn’t see that clearly.
Lu Jiangbei had to continue, “My name is Lu Jiangbei, and I work as an imperial guard. In September, 27th year of Hongwu Period, I was entrusted by Duan Xiaolou to seek a marriage alliance to Miss He. Childe Duan is the Childe of Earl Anning Ruting Mansion, and his military rank is the Deputy Fifth-Grade Military General. He also works as an imperial guard now... He was born in January, Gengxu year (4th year of Hongwu Period), and is 23 years old. His Chinese zodiac is dog. He... is young and promising, adept with both the pen and the sword, handsome and
In the previous life, He Danggui used to practice some martial arts. By that time, she had entered Lord Ning’s Mansion and gained the favor of Zhu Quan (Lord Ning), then she learned some martial arts from Zhu Quan’s followers. In order to help Zhu Quan better manage the affairs of “Wuying Tower”, she began with the most basic steps called Mabu (a basic standing position of martial arts in China) at 19, a very “old” age to practice kongfu.Since the Masters were all the subordinates of Zhu Quan and He Danggui was Zhu Quan’s concubine, it was inappropriate for them to teach her many martial arts which required to be taught intimately. Therefore, they only told her to hold a pile of books to study by herself. If she couldn’t do it, it would prove that she was not good enough to practice martial arts.She studied dazzled like this for several years. Fortunately, the five Masters who taught her the longest were all first-rate seniors, and they taught her a wide
Zhen Jing didn’t take it seriously. She only thought that He Danggui was joking with her. But she suddenly thought of a drama happened in the Taoist Temple this morning. She didn’t care about what she was eating, but immediately began to tell it to He Danggui vividly.In the morning, on her way to fetch water, she passed the main hall and saw other nuns around the gate happily. So, Zhen Jing stood on tiptoe to see what happened. It turned out that Huai Dong and Huai Xin were quarreling in front of Tai Shan, much fiercer than last night.—Last night, Tai Shan went back to her room and thought for a while. As long as the case of stealing lock didn’t spread out and affect the reputation of the Taoist Temple, it would be a trivial matter. But now the fire had affected the imperial guards. Therefore, no matter how they defined the fire case, she must find out a scapegoat for the imperial guards, so that the Taoist Temple would not be implicated. Tai Shan chose H
“Master Zhen Zhu, when will the Third Miss come out? It’s already been an hour since Ding Rong’s wife and I informed you. And our sedan costs 1 string of 1,000 qian every 2 hours. Could you…” Gao Dashan’s wife pouted her chin towards Ding Rong’s wife who was not far away, and told Zhen Zhu in a very low voice, “She’s the eyes and ears of Second Mistress Luo, and she would tell her everything she knew.”Under her guidance, Zhen Zhu saw a woman about 50 years old, thin and white in decent clothes.Ding Rong’s wife looked at the gate of Shui Shang Temple with full attention. Seeing someone coming out, she asked, “Has Miss He prepared yet? When can we set out? You know I’m a busy person.”Zhen Zhu turned around to see Gao Dashan’s wife, “Biddy Gao, forgive me. That day you left in such a hurry and I was clumsy to retell Miss He’s original words. It’s all my faults! Miss He said she planned to stay here until the 17th this month. However, today is t
“Whooshing——” “Whooshing——”He Danggui’s skirt was swayed left and right by their palm energies. It was so cold that she shivered, lost her balance and fell on the ground. That’s when she saw the strange scene from her split vision that the big fire was suddenly put out.Two big hands helped her up. The left one was Duan Xiaolou’s and the right one was… Gao Jue’s. He Danggui escaped from death, but what she was thinking at this moment was—no wonder Duan Xiaolou said yesterday that they all had the ability to extinguish the fire. It turned out that their palm energies involved strong cold air. There were two schools in the world known as “Cold Palm”. Were they from Wujianmen School of De’an or Hongmen School of Dali?“Are you okay, girl? Where did you get hurt?” Duan Xiaolou asked anxiously, shaking her back and forth.“What?” He Danggui regained her consciousness and smiled apologetically at the handsome face close to her, “Sorry t
Duan Xiaolou got her mind keenly, and there was a trace of bitterness in his voice, “What, do we have to keep our distance so clearly?”He Danggui still clutched Duan Xiaolou’s sleeve and exhorted him, “As the old saying goes, it is better to offend a gentleman than a villain. Tai Shan is a complete villain. You kill her, or you never offend her. Otherwise, you will make her a hidden trouble for you in the future.” He Danggui had learned this lesson in her previous life. She was so vulnerable that she wanted to hang herself after Tai Shan blackmailed her for many times.31th year of Hongwu Period, Tai Shan knew that He Danggui had married into Lord Ning’s Mansion as a concubine, so she wrote a letter to meet He Danggui secretly. She held He Danggui’s old story of being a slave in the Taoist Temple as a leverage, threatening that if He Danggui refused to pay her, she would tell Lord Ning that He Danggui had stolen, misbehaved and hurt people in the Taoist Te
“What are you talking about?” Duan Xiaolou was shocked at her words. He got extremely angry but smiled, “What do you mean your chest got a hole? Who did this? I’ll punch out that guy! And what do you mean you are jealous of me as soon as you see me? As long as you accept me, I and all I have are yours. It’s totally unnecessary for your jealousy. Also, what do you mean I love you because I got briefly blind? Alas, your words are super cute. Haw-haw!” His embarrassing laughter sounded in the room, even made a piece of wall finish peel off.He Danggui wanted to explain more but she couldn’t. People in this world couldn’t understand her words. She said in her heart, “I’m so sorry, Duan Xiaolou. You are not my Mr. Right. Of course you’re a good person, but we meet at the wrong time. If I met you in my previous life, I might be grateful to fate, yet I would be quite different from now.” Staring at her little fair face with a desolate look, Duan Xiaolou felt a tw
He Danggui awoke at daybreak.Before she fell asleep last night, she picked out some Zhiming Sticking Plaster with a new chopstick. Then she took them in a bowl of warm water and patted her acupoint in a certain order, channeling the heat from the pill into her limbs. The pesticide effect of Zhiming Sticking Plaster was quite good. When she woke up, she felt her breath grew longer, her pulse grew stronger and her cold hands and feet were warm, too.Since there was only a useless little stove in the room, He Danggui and Zhen Jing were covered with one quilt in these days. But Zhen Jing didn’t sleep quietly and always had the tendency to kick the quilt and people, which made He Danggui suffer a lot. At this moment, Zhen Jing was asleep. He Danggui got out of bed silently, pulling the quilt for Zhen Jing. Zhen Jing whispered and kicked the quilt again, so He Danggui covered for her again reluctantly.After a simple wash, He Danggui coiled up a sma
He Danggui dreamed of her mother. Her mother wore a common silk coat embroidered with flowers, wearing her hair in a Zhuiyue haircut. Mom talked her with a sad face, “Yi, I owe you so much and I am ashamed to see you... My own misfortune has brought the same trouble to you. I really owe you so much...”When she woke up, her pillow was wet. And it was still dark outside.He Danggui turned over and felt cold, then she found that Zhen Jing kicked the quilt out of the bed. She slept against the wall, and Zhen Jing on the outside. Since she wanted to get the quilt back without waking Zhen Jing, she knelt on the bed with her ear next to Zhen Jing’s stomach. After three times of trying, it was still beyond her reach. After she found it didn’t work, she gave up the method and jumped out of bed to pick up the quilt.He Danggui was surprised that she could jump over about a meter with a little effort. Plus the height of the bed...“Bang!” He
