Those aristocratic young ladies invited by the princess actually did not need to fast for ten days. Only the young ladies designated by the empress' decree had to enter the Palace ten days before the princess' prayer ceremony. It was a great honor for them to fast for ten days with the princess.
However, the problem was that all the four unmarried young ladies of the mansion of Marquis Hua Yang would enter the Palace. How could the Madam Dowager not be worried?
"Madam Dowager, don't worry. All the young ladies in the mansion are as beautiful as bright pearls and crystal jade. When they enter the palace, they will definitely be favored by Her Majesty. In a few days, the Empress Dowager would receive all the old ladies with official mandates. Madam Dowager, please bring the young ladies with you. The Empress Dowager is old and likes to see young ladies."
The eunuch reminded the Madam Dowager with a smile.
Upon hearing these words, th
"Yes, when I reached the kitchen, the pastry was almost done. It looked very beautiful, like flowers. The kitchen was filled with a very fragrant smell. Many maids and old maidservants gathered there watching the beautiful pastry!" Shufei nodded. When she was in the kitchen, she looked at the pastry a few more times. It indeed looked very nice.Excellent pastry? Wei Yuewu frowned slightly and took a deep breath. Needless to say, Wei Yuejiao had put in so much effort to make the pastry to set her up."Miss, is there something wrong?" Sensing Wei Yuewu's silence, Shufei asked cautiously.Wei Yuewu raised her eyes and shook her head with a smile, "Not yet. We'll talk about it later when the pastry is delivered from the kitchen.""Yes, I understand." Shufei nodded in agreement.The kitchen did deliver the pastry very quickly. When Wei Yuewu just finished taking the medicine, an old maidservant from the kitchen came over ca
This doctor Ming was apparently a shrewd person. Wei Yuewu had been searching for his weakness in order to find the cause of her birth mother's death. Therefore, she could not alarm him.Doctor Ming was definitely the key to finding out what happened back then.Jin Ling nodded and left.Wei Yuewu brought Huamo with her into the shop and picked gifts for Wei Luowu.She had picked a jade paperweight that was in the shape of a tiger. This paperweight was very unique in terms of both style and carving skills, and the tiger was especially eye-catching and lifelike."I will take this one!" Wei Yuewu pointed at the jade paperweight in the cupboard and said smilingly."I will take this one, wrap it up for me!" Almost at the same time, another voice was heard.Hearing this familiar voice, Wei Yuewu tilted her head and saw that the person beside her had also turned his head and his eyes flickered with s
This time, Wei Yuewu did not get off the carriage. Huamo got off and went to the powder shop to buy some dew made from plum blossoms.There was no other dew in this cold season. However, there was still plum blossom dew.After buying everything that was needed, Wei Yuewu went back to the mansion with Huamo. They spent a lot of time on the road, and Jin Ling had already returned to the mansion."Miss, something happened to Doctor Ming's family. It was said that his son was a disgrace to family. Not only did he fail to become a doctor as his father, he also liked hanging around and visiting brothels. Some days ago, he competed with others for a woman, and was injured by a certain aristocratic family's young master, who threatened to beat him to death unless he offered money to settle this dispute."Jin Ling brought Wei Yuewu a cup of tea and told her what she had heard.Because they had become aware of Doctor Ming before
"Then I'll wait for you!" Seeing Wei Yuejiao behaved like this, Wei Yuewu also stood at the door and said noncommittally."You go over and pick plum blossoms first. When I come, we can make dew directly. That can save a lot of time." Seeing that Wei Yuewu was actually not leaving, Wei Yuejiao was anxious and hurriedly said."In any case, we are not in such a hurry." At this time, Wei Yuewu was very calm."The kitchen is in a hurry. Sixth Younger Sister, go ahead. I'll be right there. It won't take me too much time." Wei Yuejiao did not expect Wei Yuewu to be neither anxious nor worried, so she could only use other excuses to urge her for a moment.Wei Yuewu saw a trace of anxiety in Wei Yuejiao's eyes and she raised her eyebrows. "Third Elder Sister, you are so anxious to let me go first. Is there anything bad waiting for me over there?"Wei Yuejiao was shocked and her expression changed slightly. However, seeing the f
Wei Yuewu was already dancing on the stage. When she was at her maternal grandparents' house, she had always been quiet. Her granny was afraid that she would get sick, so she had asked someone to teach her how to dance. She learned this popular Seven Spin Dance just before she entered the capital. The female teacher who taught her was once a dancer in the imperial palace.She moved her dancing steps gracefully. Her soft and flexible lower waist was wrapped up in a beautiful belt. Her peerless appearance revealed a mysterious sense of beauty under the veil. She was extremely charming. Everyone's gaze was attracted to her.While she danced, Wei Yuewu observed the scene below. From her position, she actually had the best view of the audience and people below the stage.She saw Lady Zhang was called to one side by an old maidservant and then hurriedly left. She also saw Wei Fengyao, wife of the Heir-apparent of Prince Nan'an, sat by the Madam Dowag
By those words, Wei Fengyao was disparaging her as a clown or a dancing girl."Eldest Sister, today is Second Uncle's birthday. Originally, guests were also relatives of our mansion. It's rare for grandmother to be here as well. Therefore, I put on a colorful dancing dress to amuse grandmother and make her happy. But I didn't know why I was said to hang out with a lad servant and go to a desolate courtyard with him." Wei Yuewu said generously.Her clear eyes shone brightly. They were extremely attractive, but they also looked very innocent."Did you mistake someone else for the Sixth Young Lady?" Jin Ling exerted some strength and fiercely pinched the maid's wrist.The maid was frightened out of her wits by Wei Yuewu's sudden appearance. Feeling the sharp pain in her wrist, she subconsciously replied, "Yes… I made a mistake. That person looked kind of like the Sixth Young Lady.""Where's Third Elder Sister?" Wei Qiuju
There was a scene that seemed to be very clear. In that scene, a girl who looked delicate and gentle was holding her hand and playing with her by the water. Sunlight shone on her face, which had an unhealthy green and pale color.But her smile was sweet and happy.That girl was the little elder sister that she had always remembered. Her memory suddenly jumped to that terrifying time. That weak girl gulped and spat out large mouthfuls of blood. She lowered her head powerlessly, but she still smiled warmly at her.Wei Yuewu felt an inexplicable pain in her heart. The pain was so strong that she involuntarily covered her chest with one of her hands."Miss, what's wrong with you?" Jin Ling came in with a cup of tea in her hands. She saw Wei Yuewu clutching her chest with one hand and bending over the table. She hurriedly put the teacup aside and came over to help her up.Wei Yuewu calmed down, and the pain receded like tid
The uninvited guest was Yan Huaijing, heir-apparent of the Duke of Yan State.It was at the mansion of Marquis Hua Yang. However, this heir-apparent walked around freely like in his own courtyard, and the Fourth Prince beside him was smiling bitterly.They were in the inner courtyard now. As two grown male outsiders, although they had only eunuchs with them, it still was inappropriate for them to appear here."This courtyard of the mansion of Marquis Hua Yang is quite well built. Its style is actually different from ordinary courtyards. I wonder who built it? However, this shouldn't be the mansion of Marquis Hua Yang of the past, right?" Yan Huaijing asked leisurely as he walked."Forty years ago, there was a fire in the original mansion of Marquis Hua Yang. His Royal Grandfather gave another mansion to the old Marquis Hua Yang." The Fourth Prince thought for a moment and said."The previous emperor actually favored an
