"What is going on?" Along with the rebuke, a whole set of grape pattern porcelain bowl was smashed from the top of the stairs. The lid of the bowl grazed through Qiu Yelan’s hair and broke into pieces on the floor behind her.
Above the stairs, Empress Dowager Gu’s eyes had a piercing gleam. Her angry face implied her intention to kill.
Emperor and empress who sat a little lower than Empress Dowager were watching her blowing off her steam calmly. Four people kneeling below the stairs had different looks. Qiu Yelan who had no connections was looking down timidly. Gu Yan and Deng Yi were scrambling to talk about their grievances. Jiang Yashuang was calm. Seeing Qiu Yelan looking at him, he was chill enough to give her a smile. He obviously had a lot of confidence in his Empress aunt.
He was Empress’s biological nephew after all. And he had a biological grandfather who was called the Defender of the State.
Qiu Yelan bit her lips anxiou
"Ganli Palace is where Empress Dowager Ye lives alone, so the side halls have not been opened for many years." Nijin said while watching the young maids cleaning the elegant room covered with dust, "The only place people can live in is this Wangxing Pavilion, as County Princess Duanrou comes here once in a while. Your Grace, it's just for one night."Qiu Yelan asked in confusion, "Should I not greet Empress Dowager Ye? Didn't you say that Empress Dowager Ye would be settling me?""Empress Dowager Ye generally does not meet outsiders apart from the Empress and County Princess Duanrou." Nijin smirked and said, "She's just saying... I'll go to find you some clothes. You would stay here for one night and I'll find someone to send you back tomorrow, and that's the end of your visit to the palace this time.""What do you mean by 'the end'? Gu Yan was beaten so badly. Even if I leave the palace, would he let me go?" Qiu Yelan thought."No
"You want to learn Kong Fu from me?" Qiu Yelan stared at Deng Yi, "If you ask Gu Yan, you can have top masters at your pick to be your teacher. Why me? And what would you expect to be my student? You can stay at General Ruan's Mansion or Prince's Mansion of Xihe? Or you expect me to stay at Prince's Mansion of Guangyang?"Faintly, Deng Yi said, "Your martial arts were taught by General Ruan in secret right? How often could you meet with General Ruan before? If you can learn the killing Kong Fu like this, why can't I?Indeed, I had killing Kong Fu, but it was never learned from the General. It was the technique that I learned after surviving the zombies and thousands of difficulties. Qiu Yelan glazed at him, "So what are you going to do?""I will contact you in January of the lunar year." Deng Yi said indifferently, "Now I will clean up your mess first... As for the marriage contract, once I have learned something, I will set you free!"
Qiu Yelan and Jiang Yashuang waited until the eighth young master Jiang and Fair Concubine left after thoroughly enjoying themselves. They had already been tortured to the point where their clothes were wet, so they hurriedly climbed out.However, they forced to curl themselves up in the narrow place down the divan. Both of their hands and feet had been numb.In this case, they had to continue to hold each other while exercising. At this time, even if Jiang Yashuang, who valued etiquette, didn't have any thoughts about ambiguity and honor. He only wanted to restore his ability to act quickly!This kind of divan that had not been cleaned for many years was not a place for people to stay at all!When they came out, they lit a lamp. But they witnessed that they were messy because of cobwebs all over them and just overhead, not to mention their faces.Qiu Yelan felt regretful in heart. She intended to turn to the Empress b
Qiu Yelan had not seen Chu Weize, Prince Yan. Even if she had seen him, it was not the right time to greet. So, she turned around and followed Nijin into the hall after saluting."I'm Qiu Yelan. Wish you all the best, Your Majesty!" She saluted in accordance with the rules after being led to the Beijue Hall. Empress Jiang asked her to stand up quickly," Sit down. You are first-class Commandery Princess. You don't have to be restrained.""Thank you, Your Majesty!" Qiu Yelan guessed that the Empress might like a generous and straightforward character since she talked back to Empress Dowager without euphemism. So she sat down on the next drum stool without refusal.She glanced at steps above silently. Empress Jiang now changed into regular clothes. She wore a pink peace Ruyi cloud patterned brocade coat, tied with a jade belt. She twisted her hair into a spiral bun and looked cute and lovely.However, the Empress's momentum remained.
Qiu Yelan was calm, "I can't go. First, I'm still in the mourning period for my mother. How can I go out and be a guest, let alone in the first lunar month? It would be trouble for you. Second, my grandfather is still in bed. How can I enjoy the festival myself and forget my grandfather's need of being looked after?""No wonder Her Majesty says Your Grace is filial and reasonable," Nijin said smiling. She implied that Gu Yan and Mrs. Gu were so silly as to invite her to their home and be unaware that she was still in the mourning period and she had a seriously ill grandfather to look after.As they were chatting, they went out of the gate of the Palace. Nijin helped Qiu Yelan get off the sedan with Su He.Gu Yan had been jeered at for several times. His face under the veil hat was as cold as frost but he still showed no intent to leave. He clasped his hands behind his back and staring at Qiu Yelan with a deep look behind the veil.
They walked into the Prince's Mansion of Xihe. They found it was not a chaos like they thought it would be.Things were organized. Servants were doing their jobs. It seemed to be in perfect order. If it were not for the terror and hatred in the servants' eyes when they looked at Qiu Yelan which proved the impact of Empress’s proclamation, Qiu Yelan would think nothing had happened.However, when they arrived at the drawing-room and saw Qiu Mengmin’s gloomy face, Qiu Yelan's mood was lightened at once.Qiu Mengmin asked Ruan Qingyan to avoid and wait outside bluntly. After the door was closed, he didn't even have time for formality. He asked without preamble, "Are you insane? How dare you instigate Empress Jiang to ruin us!""Are you hearing yourself? Empress is such a brilliant lady. How could she listen to a kid like me?" Qiu Yelan smiled immediately, "How could you believe this kind of rumor? If the words get out, people will ass
"... Your Majesty, please uphold justice for me!"Side hall, Fu Ning Palace.There was a fierce atmosphere in the hall, but the emperor sitting on the throne was looking bored.On the right of the throne was kneeling Commandery Princess Ningyi Qiu Yelan and scholar Ruan Qingyan. Now Qiu Yelan was crying sorrowfully. As for the person she was crying to, or at least apparently so, the emperor's sight occasionally swift to a yellowish bottle of GuiGuZi descending from a mountain. He found it quite new for him and wondered if this has been recently changed.But not necessarily... he hasn't been to Fu Ning Palace for a long time, maybe he's wrong.He should have been in charge of the royal court since he was married at the age of sixteen.However, Empress Dowager Gu continued to control the court from behind on the pretext of his lack of experience. Later, the senior officials had too much discontent against it, espec
"You bastard!" Who would know that Empress Dowager Gu was so hard to cheat? She pounded the table and reproached them angrily, "The engagement is so important to a person that you should not trifle with it! Who allows you to talk about rescission so easily!"Empress Jiang said, "Mother, why do you turn to another topic? The matter of Qiu Mengmin is waiting for your imperial decree to unduke him!"Qiu Yelan sighed in her heart. Empress Dowager Gu didn't simply push the boat with the current and easily broke off her engagement with Deng Yi in a temper. After she lost this hope, there was nothing noteworthy in two empresses' quarrel. It's merely something usual.Sure enough, after Empress Dowager Gu and Empress Jiang's fierce quarreling, the result was still to hold court to discuss whether Qiu Mengmin was obedient or not after the Lantern Festival, saying that it should not disturb innocent ministers celebrating the Spring Festival only for Princ
In fact, no matter according to the intention of Emperor Chong Heng, or the meaning of the Supreme Emperor, originally did not want to delay the ceremony so long - the latter, of course, is anxious to see his grandson to be enrolled as the crown prince.But there is no way, two days before Xin Fubing came back, when the Imperial Doctor asked Qiu Hilan for a peaceful pulse, he found that she was pregnant again.Considering the tediousness of the Ceremony of the Register of the Empress, as well as the fact that Qiu Hilan was already past her prime, even though she had already given birth to five children, in the end, it was still better to be careful.Though the Emperor Taishang was wary of the Qiu family, he did not deliberately torment his daughter-in-law who was pregnant with his first grandson or first granddaughter, so after listening to Emperor Chongheng's explanation, he did not say anything more, and rewarded things according to the example.Although Em
At the end of the third year of Jianjia, after Prince Jiang Yashuang's pleading, and Pingyang County Lord Jiang Tianhe's crying, Emperor Jianjia finally agreed to let Jiang Tianhe send someone to Lvdi, to pick up Xin Fubing to return to the capital for a reunion.It was already the end of the year, and Xinfu Bing definitely couldn't come back that year.But to the following year after the spring, Jiang Tianhe let the eldest son personally take people to Lu Di to pick up his daughter, this pick up but picked up a full two years - with Chu Weitong, in the process of the Great Qin Dynasty Rui all over the scars of Xin Fubing, do not want to go back to the capital of this heartbreak, and more do not want to see will remind her of the past of the deceased people.Until two years later, in the seventh year of Jianjia, Emperor Jianjia's old injuries from that year's conquest of the Northern Frontier flared up, and he was collectively advised by the Imperial Hospital to re
Donggong Na people thing finally ended up in the end, but Jianjia Emperor's purpose has also reached part of the: Dingxi Marquis Qiu Jinglan self-requested to be released.With his title and had served in the official position, the external capping of the great officer is also considered relegation. However, since Qiu Jinglan brought it up, he had his own reasons, "Having served as the Great General of Zhenxi, that was during the time of Qianrui. At that time, the real host was actually Mr. Ren, not me. Properly speaking I was still too young in the end - in the early years there were constant natural and man-made disasters, and I didn't dare to leave the center. Now the situation has stabilized, I should also to the bottom of the sharpening to go, now do not go, difficult to wait for the age, legs and feet are not flexible and then run around it?"So it makes sense, Jianjia Emperor is very satisfied with his sense of humor, "He put out to sharpen a decade up and down an
Jianjia Emperor's depression Jiang Yashang all ignore, back to the East Palace, told his wife, "or some dynasty annoyance!""The beginning of everything is difficult, after some days will be good!" During this period of time, Jianjia Emperor father and son played a double act to cover up their childishness and negligence in governing not once or twice, Qiu Hilan didn't suspect at all, but instead warmly consoled him, "Not to mention that there is enough rainfall this spring, I'm afraid that it will be a good year, but it's a good omen!"In these days of dependence on God for food, a good year is a great thing that everyone up and down the land looks forward to.Jiang Yashuang's expression also eased when he heard this, "It's not even autumn yet, I just hope that nothing will happen next!"How can ... not happen again?As if deliberately trying to sharpen the trembling rulers, a spring with plenty of rain was followed by a drought in which the country we
Jiang Yashuang put down his hand, raised his eyes to look at Emperor Jianjia for a moment, and said softly, "You ... don't like the big house ...""Our father and son in the end do not get along for a long time, all this, you still use such euphemistic wording?" Jianjia emperor heard, laughed out loud, despondent patted his shoulder, sighed, "What do not like ... district do not like, worth for father I sent the competent generals, a thousand miles from the northern border to go to Kui County stakeout? That is the most swarthy group of people under my father's command, which is as good as a team of a hundred men in the northern border!""How many such sons and daughters are not too many, and can they just go on a stakeout?!"Emperor Jianjia sneered, "Their original mission was to go kill people!"Kill who?Jiang Yayun, of course!Emperor Jianjia was not a merciful person in the first place, and for the sake of his own future, he was even able to g
Jiang Yashuang was horrified!"How can it be?!"No wonder he was so surprised - his uncle grandfather in the eyes of Emperor Zhaode and the old king of Ji, absolute elder brother as father, completely as a father to see! And still filial son to the kind of father.Although it was said that when the news of the death of the Kui County man - posthumously crowned Dun Wang in this dynasty, and called Old Dun Wang in order to differentiate himself from the current Dun Wang Jiang Tian ardent - reached the capital, due to the blow of the Old Ji Wang's passing, the Zhaode Emperor, who had already been ill at the time, added to his woes, and his condition worsened to the point that the The entire Jiang family was preparing his afterlife at that time. But it was under these circumstances that Emperor Zhaode still insisted on asking about the causes and consequences of this elder brother's passing!Emperor Zhaode's questioning is certainly not just asking the person who
"Your daughter-in-law approached you about An'er?" Emperor Jianjia was waiting for his son in the Warm Pavilion, and when his beloved chamberlain saw Jiang Yashuang come in, he brought tea with both hands and retreated out in silence, leaving only father and son to talk.Jiang Yashang first gave Jun Father a salute, and only then did she take her seat under his gesture, saying, "She is also afraid that after the children grow up a bit, an unguarded person underneath instigated them, so she thought to take precautionary measures before it happens, lest he brew any bitter fruit in the future."Emperor Jianjia gave a "hmm" and said, "This is what she thinks, what about yourself? What do you think?"Hearing the drift in his tone, Jiang Yashang frowned slightly, speculating whether this was a sign of dissatisfaction? His mind turned, and he said, "That's what my child thinks too ...""Not to mention An'er swaddling clothes is your couple raised, on his father, alt
Jiang Yashuang was originally in deep thought, when he heard his wife mention Dun Wang Jiang Tian arbor, his face immediately became unsightly, "An'er is very understanding, and does things in an atmospheric manner, I see him but not like great-uncle, but like eighth brother, very much like being an elder brother!"... His own father was not the great uncle s self reliance on favor insatiable, to force desperate, only to embark on the sacrifice of the first eldest son to fulfill their own this road? The entire tragedy of the fourth house is also from here.Although he hid this past event from his wife with the idea of keeping it secret for his elders, he remembered it in his own heart - not only remembered it, but it had reached the point of taboo.Autumn Hikilan did not know the reason, seeing her husband's suddenly sullen face and rather reprimanding tone, she thought that he was simply unwilling to think that way. She felt tricky in her heart, "Doesn't nineteen
Chang mom came over because after the end of Empress Min Rou's affairs, although the new king remembers that she served Empress Min Rou for a time, intends to grant her a grant to let her go back to the family to enjoy the blessings of life, but she has followed the Empress from the age of a young girl, the master and servant have been together for several decades, and the blood relatives are almost the same.The Empress left so abruptly that Chang's mother couldn't accept it emotionally and couldn't settle down to go home, so she suggested that she wanted to continue to serve Empress Min Rou's descendants - just as the Eastern Palace was newly established, the status of the children in the Eastern Palace was changing, and the first-born children of the Hui Wang House and the Jing Wang House were taking over, all of which required additional manpower.She has no problem with loyalty, experience and qualifications, Qiu Hilan is in short supply, of course, will not be push
