"Send my thanks to grandmother for me. Nanny Hong, I don't know much about jewelry. How about you help me pick out a few?" Wei Yuewu said calmly as her long eyelashes fluttered. She was still sitting in front of the dressing table. Shufei had dried her black hair and was gently combing her hair at this time.
Her long black hair set off her exquisite face. Under the lamp light, there was a faint blush that was not normally seen in the day. It made people feel that this young girl in front of them would definitely be a matchless beauty in the future, even if she still looked somewhat childish now. Nanny Hong had to admire the Madam Dowager's keen eyes.
Right now, the most worthy young lady in this mansion was Sixth Young Lady. Moreover, Sixth Young Lady's engagement had been broken off. Although the status of the mansion of Marquis Jing Yuan was not low, it was not good enough. If there really came a day in the future when Sixth Young Lady made her mark, she
Wei Yuewu looked out of the window again and didn't find anyone. She put away the jade thumb ring, turned around to close the window, and quietly stood in front of the window for a while before going back to bed.As she leant against the bed, she picked up the jade thumb ring with her slender fingers and put it on. It was a little large for her, but wasn't too large. It was obvious that the fingers of the owner of the jade thumb ring weren't thick either. It was more likely to belong to a girl.Would a girl wear a jade thumb ring? Wei Yuewu frowned. At least she had never seen one before. Basically, jade thumb rings were worn by men. Women usually wore ordinary rings. However, judging from the size of this jade thumb ring, it did not look like one that was worn by men. The small size seemed to be only fit for a woman's thumb.Of course, there was another possibility: the finger of a boy, a boy who was still growing up. Such a boy could also wea
Soon, she picked up the corner of her skirt and slowly walked on. It was impossible for such a thing to happen. Moreover, this kind of thing was way too strange!They couldn't be unrelated. Besides, even if they didn't have the mother-child relationship, the Madam Dowager didn't have to care about father like that!However, the more she thought about it, the more suspicious she felt the Madam Dowager's attitude was!Even a granddaughter who was born to a concubine and who wasn't around the Madam Dowager could be the equal of a granddaughter who was born to a wife and was raised by the Madam Dowager. Was it really because of Concubine Dong?Concubine Dong was merely a chief maid once. Even if she had served the Madam Dowager and had a bond with her former mistress, it was impossible for the Madam Dowager to treat her daughter so well that she was superior to even Wei Yan, a first daughter of the second branch.If it was
At the city gate, Wei Yuewu's carriage was stopped by two eunuchs."Is that Sixth Miss Wei from the mansion of Marquis Hua Yang in the carriage?" The older eunuch looked at the emblem on the carriage and checked the register in his hand."Yes." Shufei replied behind the curtain."Wait by the side. The two princesses' carriages will arrive soon." The guard said as he pointed at the gorgeous carriages parked on both sides of the road.Through the curtain, Wei Yuewu saw that the carriages she had seen were neatly parked on the roadside. There were about twenty of them.It was dawn and very early.The coachman, Old Li, parked the carriage by the side of the road as was ordered.It was very quiet outside. Jin Ling asked in a low voice, "Miss, didn't you say that it was only Third Princess? Why are there two princesses now? Is Fourth Princess also coming?"Wei Yuewu knitted her eyebrows
As the gauze scarf in her hand changed its color in the sunlight, Wei Yuewu realized that the scarf was made of soft brocade. How could she retain the usual composure on her face?This gauze scarf that was casually left behind was actually made of precious soft brocade. Then, this so-called old lady was definitely not an ordinary person.Although the mansion of Marquis Hua Yang was powerful, people would still feel startled by the fact that the Madam Dowager owned a piece of soft brocade.Although Jin Ling did not know about soft brocade, she could feel the seriousness on Wei Yuewu's expression. She asked, "Miss, this is....""Precious soft brocade!" Wei Yuewu whispered as she placed the scarf on the table at the window.It could be seen that this piece of soft brocade was new. Judging from the threads on its edges, the scarf hadn't been washed. That exactly meant that this was a newly-made scarf...."Miss
The person Jin Ling brought back was a smart little maid who was called Jin'er."Sixth Miss Wei, I'm from the mansion of Deputy Minister Yang of the Ministry of Works. I accompanied our Eldest Young Lady to Plum Blossom Nunnery this time. My mistress was very anxious when she heard that you caught a cold but had no medicine. She has sent someone down the mountain to get some medicine and it will soon be brought over. My mistress is afraid that you will be anxious, so she sent me here to tell you about it."Jin'er curtsied respectfully to Wei Yuewu and explained on the side.Wei Yuewu's eyelashes fluttered. She stared at the maid with half-closed eyes for a while and smiled. "Send my thanks to your mistress for sending someone on a special errand to fetch medicine for me."Why was this Eldest Miss Yang so warm-hearted to a stranger? Was it because Wei Yuewu came from the mansion of Marquis Hua Yang?'"Actually, it's not
It was in the middle of the hall, and a few beautiful young ladies stood there looking unkindly at them. One of them, who was wearing a crimson skirt embroidered with golden threads, was looking at them with an evident sneer. Coincidentally, this was Eldest Miss Yang's younger sister, the Second Miss Yang with the name of Yang Yurou, who was her sworn enemy and born by her stepmother.Shouldn't they go to a secluded corner if they were to have a heart-to-heart talk?Why was the actual situation so different from what she had imagined?More unfortunately, Wei Yuewu had turned to walk forward. At this time, Yang Yuyan could not stand still alone, so she had to follow behind Wei Yuewu and timidly moved towards the center of the raised platform in the hall."Why, isn't this my elder sister who always prefers to stay at home? Sister, didn't you say you didn't like to get involved in such gatherings and wouldn't come even if you are invi
As the Heir-apparents of the Duke of Chu State and of the Duke of Qi State were winking at each other, the sound of heavy footsteps came from the stairs. Mo Huating turned around and saw that the Crown Prince Wen Tianyao was coming in. Yan Huaijing, the Heir-apparent of the Duke of Yan, and Lu Yeli, the Heir-apparent of the Duke of Lu, followed slightly behind.Along with Mo Huating, the Fourth Prince Wen Yi accompanied Chu Fangnan, the Heir-apparent of the Duke of Chu, and Qi Yunhao, the Heir-apparent of the Duke of Qi. Seeing the crown prince coming upstairs, he stepped forward and greeted Wen Tianyao respectfully, "My brother, where have you been? When Marquis Jing Yuan and I brought the Heir-apparent of Chu and Heir-apparent of Qi over, we didn't see you!"With a faint smile, Wen Tianyao replied, "After waiting for you for a long time, Heir-apparent of Yan wanted to visit the hall first, so we went down."This side hall actually had a door
No one expected an assassin to appear at this moment. Four masked assassins suddenly appeared from behind the fence all of a sudden. A sword light flashed and all of them were aimed at the Crown Prince Wen Tianyao, who was standing in the middle of the crowd.Mo Huating put down the hands that were previously hooked at his waist and hurriedly rushed out with the guards beside the Crown Prince to stop the assassins.Wen Tianyao, Yan Huaijing, and the others were naturally used to seeing such scenes, but those young ladies of aristocratic families who were usually locked in their boudoirs had never seen this before, and they started to scream repeatedly. A few of them ran out in panic, causing the entire scene to become chaotic."Sixth… Sixth Young Lady." Before Wei Yuewu could speak, she felt her sleeve being grabbed and shaken by someone. She looked back and saw Yang Yuyan sticking close behind her with a frightened expression."Si
