"M-My mother?" Wei Yuewu's eyes flickered as she spoke slowly.
"Yes, Eldest Aunt!" Wei Qiufu looked sincere, as if she wanted to say something but hesitated. She looked at Wei Yuewu but did not say anything. She waited for Wei Yuewu to ask her out of her own curiosity.
She was absolutely sure that Wei Yuewu would be interested in this.
"Do you know why?" Wei Yuewu raised her eyebrows and asked indifferently.
The nonchalance was different from Wei Qiufu's expectation. Wasn't Wei Yuewu supposed to eagerly ask her about this? Although she did ask Wei Qiufu about it, she sounded so indifferent as if she was asking about the weather.
It was too different from what she expected, so Wei Qiufu was in a daze and couldn't register Wei Yuewu's question.
Fortunately, Wei Qiufu quickly came to her senses and donned a mysterious smile. "Actually, I'm not so sure. I bumped into a nurse in the Palace today and hear
"Miss, t-the coat is torn!" Jin Ling's face immediately turned pale.Although the Crown Prince had given the clothes to Wei Qiufu, they were in Wei Yuewu's hands now. Even if the coat was torn before Wei Yuewu wore it, she might be in big trouble if the Crown Prince wanted to denounce her."Torn?" Wei Yuewu was taken aback. She got up, walked to the screen, and took the coat from Jin Ling. The fabric of the blue coat looked extremely colorful. The plum blossoms that were sewn on the hem of the coat looked vivid and lifelike. As they were embroidered on the blue fabric, they were even more eye-catching.Whether it was the embroidery thread or the beauty of the material, the clothes were exquisite and extraordinary. In addition to the bright color, anyone who looked at it would assume that the clothes were expensive.But now, after it was lifted by the wind and gently hung on the screen, two threads were hooked out of the slee
"Send the pastries to the other young ladies?" Jin Ling was taken aback for a moment."Yes, just say the pastries are a reward from Zhaoyi Tu, and I couldn't finish them." Sitting in the chair, Wei Yuewu paused for a moment before continuing, "If they say that they have the pastries too, just inquire about tomorrow's events."Wei Yuewu had wanted Jin Ling to inquire about the schedule the next day, but she didn't have an excuse. Fortunately, she had the perfect excuse now."If they don't have the pastries, just say that Zhaoyi Tu sent the pastries to me and Fourth Elder Sister." The corners of Wei Yuewu's lips curled into a sneer. There was definitely something wrong with that eunuch. He knew about her very well, but he didn't know that Wei Qiufu lived beside her.Just now, she deliberately mentioned Miss Zhao, and the eunuch said that he was also going to deliver the pastries to Zhao Ruo'e."Miss, that food box
"The Third Princess didn't say anything much but she promised me that she would explain my matter to Her Majesty when she was free." Zhao Ruo'e was surprised to see Wei Yuewu come to her for this matter. She felt apologetic and brought Wei Yuewu to the pavilion next to the rockery outside her room to talk.Zhao Ruo'e lived in a nice room. She didn't live next to the other young ladies. When she opened the door of her room, she could see the sun and the scenery was breathtaking. Opposite the corridor was a rockery with several plum blossom trees. There was a small pool of clear water next to the rockery, a few small stones were leaning against the rockery, and there was a small pavilion next to the rockery. The sun was shining on the pavilion's high eaves at this moment.Moreover, her room was on the leeward side of Chu Xiu Palace.It seemed that Zhao Ruo'e had inquired about the rooms before she entered the Palace, hence she could pick s
"Sixth Miss Wei, so nice to see you here." Qin Wenyu walked over slowly with a smile on her face. She was the daughter of Grand Scholar Qin, and she had a scholarly air about her. Her faint smile was enough to make people have a good impression of her.Wei Yuewu hid the torn sleeve to the side and smiled slightly. "I've met Miss Zhao several times, so she is my acquaintance. I have nothing to do today and came over to chat with her.""Sixth Miss Wei, I heard that you really like to read books. What kind of books do you usually read?" Qin Wenyu smiled and sat on the other side of Wei Yuewu."Oh, nothing serious. I like to read some simple poems and such." Wei Yuewu rested her fair fingers on the edge of her sleeves, looking rather nervous."What happened to your sleeve?" Qin Wenyu asked with a surprised expression, landing her gaze on Wei Yuewu's sleeve."She accidentally tore the sleeve just now," Zhao Ruo'e cut
"Miss, what do you want the scissors for?" Jin Ling took the scissors and handed them to Wei Yuewu."Go and cut a few holes in the dirty clothes!" Wei Yuewu pointed at the clothes that had been taken out earlier and instructed Jin Ling indifferently."Those that are too dirty to wear?" Jin Ling asked again, thinking that she had heard wrongly."Yes." Wei Yuewu nodded. She casually picked up a piece of dress next to her, glanced at it, and pointed at the stain in the middle of the dress. "Right here. Cut a few holes, but make sure you don't make a big hole.""Miss!" Jin Ling looked at Wei Yuewu in shock."Go and cut them, or they will blame this on you!" Wei Yuewu looked at her and blinked. "It's most likely because the maids do not do their jobs that the clothes have been dirtied."It meant to push all the blame on maids. Due to the maids' carelessness, the clothes had been stained.Aft
"Me?" Wei Yuewu blinked her clear eyes in confusion and pointed at herself, as if she hadn't come to her senses.Zhaoyi Tu's gaze also fell on Wei Yuewu. When she saw Wei Yuewu's befuddled expression, she turned to Wei Qiufu with a gloomy face."Your Grace, I think someone must have set me up on purpose. That's why there were so many leaves near the patio. It was clearly clean before. If you don't believe me, please ask my Sixth Younger Sister. I'm sure there are not so many withered branches and leaves at her place!" Wei Qiufu pointed at Wei Yuewu smugly and spoke fluently, thinking that she had found a way out."Sixth Younger Sister, tell Her Grace. Is it true?"Although Wei Qiufu did not often open the back window, she knew that the cleaning maids came every day although it wasn't as frequent as before. Hence, there wouldn't be so many leaves there. Right now, she wanted to push the blame on someone else, so she dragged W
"Your Grace, please forgive me. I won't dare to do it again!" Without any hesitation, Wei Qiufu knelt down again, moved a few steps on her knees, and arrived in front of Zhaoyi Tu with tears in her eyes."Are you sure?" Zhaoyi Tu looked down, not showing any joy or anger."Yes, Your Grace, please rest assured!" Wei Qiufu hurriedly nodded. It would be over for her if there was a permanent record of her case. In the future, such a record of misdeed would be like pressing a ticking time bomb next to her."What if it happens again?" Zhaoyi Tu asked."If it does, I will receive whatever punishment from Your Grace." Wei Qiufu answered resolutely.At this time, she had no choice but to be humble. If Zhaoyi Tu insisted, she would be doomed.This time, Zhaoyi Tu did not immediately reply. She seemed to think for a moment before reluctantly saying, "Then forget it. However, Fourth Miss Wei, you have to know t
After the prayer session at the Buddha Hall, the young ladies did not take the soft sedans. Instead, they followed the Third Princess to the small ancestral hall of the royal family and waited. It was very quiet along the way. After turning a few intersections, they arrived in front of a small ancestral hall.Despite the fact that it was a small ancestral hall, it was a little bigger than the ancestral hall of an ordinary family, and its grandeur already reflected the dignity of the royal family.When they arrived at the entrance of the hall, they did not immediately enter. Ten young ladies of aristocratic families lined up on both sides of the hall, five in one row. The Fourth Princess appeared out of nowhere and stood near the door while the Third Princess stood on the opposite side.The Third Princess was the focus of attention today, so she was dressed in a particularly beautiful dress. The bright and beautiful embroidered scarf was
