Dong's where to stand others like this out of words to teach, coupled with her to He Danggui has always been cynical and hateful, over the years everywhere to see the wrong, and now these emotions all of a sudden flared up.
She laughed coldly, "Humph! Third girl, you don't have to be like this with me, I can't compare to you in this life, but our old Luo family still has a promising offspring, a Chai Yutu, into the Prince's residence as a beauty; Qiong Sister and Peony Sister, into the palace to serve the Emperor! The day they gain favor, we'll immediately become the royal relatives with hardened waists! Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river, you don't want to tear down the bridge too soon!"
He Danggui commanded the grannies to bring down both Luo Baiqian and Yan Sister, and she had no intention of staying any longer, biting each other with mad dogs, so what had she become herself.
Dong was not willing to let people go, crossed her arms and
The dark green glazed tiles were covered by the hoarfrost produced by north wind that blew overnight, looking very beautiful. Based on the outside appearance, the Mansion was a northern building, but the pavilions, platforms, and chambers inside were built in the southern style.“Huo Xiang, has Concubine He got up?” A well-dressed woman asked the maid standing in front of the corridor.“She has got up for a while. But she hasn’t dressed up yet. Does Sister Xu have some pressing business?”Xu Siniang paused for a moment and smiled, “Nothing. I just come by to say hello to her.”Xu Siniang was a maid who accompanied Consort Zhou (Zhou Jinglan) to marry into the Lord Ning’s family. She also had been in bed with Lord Ning (Zhu Quan) for several times. Therefore, she was also regarded as a mistress. Moreover, Zhou Jinglan was in charge of the household affairs now, so Xu Siniang helped her to manage at least a half of the household affa
Two months later, Xianyue Towel of the Mansion was on fire. Xie Qiaofeng and a couple of maidservants died in the fire before they could escape. Later, Zhou Jinglan began to manage the household affairs again.“My Lady, My Lady, something terrible happened!” Being panic, Xu Siniang closed the door and said, “I went to the Water Dungeon yesterday and found that woman was still alive!”Zhou Jinglan opened her eyes wide, looking confused, “That’s impossible! She should have starved to death. Did anyone else bring her food?”Xu Siniang shook her head, “It’s said that she was good at swimming. She floated in the water for a few days, holding her daughter’s swaddling clothes all the time. There was a baby’s crying at first. But the crying died down later… The watchman found that the swaddling clothes was gone. Only He Danggui floated in the water as she was eating raw fish and shrimps…”“Eat raw fish and shrimps?” Zhou Jinglan couldn’t h
He Danggui looked around the mourning hall, and finally focused her gaze on an ebony board. It was knocked down by Zhen Ming and her partners.The words painted with gold lacquer made her feel shocked - “My Lovely Daughter, He Danggui’s Memorial Tablet”. Beside it was a line of seal cutting words, saying “Founded on September 7th, 27th Year of Hongwu Period in Ming Dynasty.” The memorial tablet, the mourning hall, the Taoist temple, and even her body… All of these turned out that she had travelled back to 18 years ago.She was 10 years old this year.He Danggui had no time to figure out all of these. All she knew was to survive!“Zhen Jing, could you please offer me a bowl of water?” As He Danggui spoke, she was shocked for her hoarse voice.Zhen Jing was kowtowing and reciting scriptures at that time. Hearing someone calling her name all of a sudden, she was terrified, wondering if she was targeted by the ghosts. She
A thin figure who wore a long gray gown ran in the downpour of rain.“Stop! Why are you running like a stray dog! Zhen Jing, I’m talking to you!” A loud voice sounded in the night.Zhen Jing was soaking wet with some locks of hair sticking to her cheeks like applique. She hunched, gasped, and exclaimed in surprise, “That’s great! I finally found you, Younger Master Tai Chen!”“Why are you yelling? Are you bewitched at midnight, or have you lost your mind for keeping vigil beside the coffin for too long?” Tai Chen cursed with her hands putting on her waist.“Younger Master Tai Chen, it was my Master who asked me to take care of Miss He.” Zhen Jing muttered, “Miss He is not herself today. She cannot remember her name. Please come with me and have a look. I found there was a bruise on her forehead. She must have hit her head. Since you have bone-setting medicated liquor and velvet antler cream…”“Nonsense! Take good care
After the rain, two young girls in silver-gray robes supported each other on the mountain road. He Danggui complained to herself as she walked on the road. As the saying went, “It’s easier to temporize than fight against the current.” Originally, she just wanted to step outside for a breath of fresh air and pick a few herbs that would help her recuperate by the way. No one knew that so many unexpected incidents would happen on the road.What was worse, He Danggui’s foot injury was getting serious. At the same time, the inner clothes and vest she wore were gone. Being blown by the mountain wind in the evening, she felt so cold like drinking cold water in the cold weather.However, Zhen Jing smiled, feeling fulfilling. She sighed as she walked, “Xiaoyi, you are not only capable but also kind. It’s a good fortune for him to meet you there. If he could recuperate from this injury, you would be his savior…”“Remember not to talk about this when we g
After observing those people from their clothing and speech to deportment, they weren’t so much officials as imperial guards…He Danggui broke out in a cold sweat. Fortunately, they hadn’t talked about that injured man after leaving him. After thinking for a while, He Danggui shook her head and replied, “Your honor, we haven’t seen any injured man in the forest before. I didn’t know your identities just now. If I said something inappropriate, please excuse me and don’t take it to heart.” Zhen Jing nodded in agreement.“Well…” The man in scarlet robe smiled, then asked, “I wonder which Taoist Temple you two girls cultivate yourselves in. Can you lead us to have a look?”Hearing his request, He Danggui suddenly bowed her head, feeling scared, “Your honor, I accidentally sprained my foot, so I cannot walk fast like an average people. I’m afraid I may delay your journey. The Taoist Temple you are looking for is called Shui Shang Temple, locating at
Shui Shang Temple was located in a barren mountain of the suburb of Yangzhou City. In the later Yuan Dynasty, some Taoist priests instead of Taoist nuns lived in the temple. It was said that those Taoist priests found a kind of rare grass growing on the mountain, so they raised silver to build the Taoist temple for refining pills. But after no more than ten years, the war broke out. The barren mountain also became a battle field. After the war, Mongolian soldiers set off a fire when they retreated. The temple was about to be ruined. However, the heavens opened suddenly. The rain extinguished the fire immediately, saving the temple from being burnt.Because of this story, the unknown temple attracted many people who came here to pray. In the Ming Dynasty, a woman from a rich family was discarded by her husband because she couldn’t give birth to a boy. She was also refused by her natal family, so she came to the Taoist temple and became the first female master with the re
The sky was getting dark, with a stretch of red clouds. The tired birds returned to their nests, while Zhen Jing supported He Danggui in returning to Shui Shang Temple. Because they walked on the mountain for a long time, He Danggui’s foot injury was more serious than that in the morning, and she could only move forward relying on the support of Zhen Jing.Zhen Jing sighed, “Xiaoyi, you are not only capable but also kind. It’s a good fortune for him to meet you there. If he could recuperate from this injury, you would be his savior…”“Remember not to talk about this when we go back to the temple!” He Danggui seriously reminded her again. She was afraid that those masters of imperial guards who had excellent hearings could hear their words and know what they did. It was extremely easy for those people to kill Zhen Jing and her.Zhen Jing’s eyes narrowed. She shook her head and replied, “I know! I know! You’ve said it eight times. Why do you call
