The process to meet Ruan Ciyi was not as nice as Ling Zui described. After seeing Qiu Yelan, Ruan Ciyi only had a few words before asked all the servants to leave. She held the hand of Qiu Yelan and started teaching her ways to control her husband. That was fine, but her central idea was exactly like Mrs. Zhou's: the one with child rules the backyard!
She not only advised her but also prepared everything: a secret prescription to get a boy, things that are beneficial to have children, a list of food that would make her easy to get pregnant... She even taught some secret tips to get pregnant to her set aside shyness.
Qiu Yelan desperately changed the topic, "I was just married. It's no hurry. I've heard from my brother and Ling Zui said that after Qiu Feng was married, he was not happy?"
"He's used to being a free man and couldn't see eye to eye with Chunfu Princess!" Ruan Ciyi took the silk fan and fanned themselves. She said carelessly, "This
No need to think about it. She bumped into Jiang Qizheng confronting Qiu Feng!Although she didn't know why they didn't have that kind of conversation in their villa, instead they snuck out of the Jiang Family's family dinner to talk about it, it was not the point. The point was that Qiu Yelan planned to sneak away. But Qiu Feng had good sight and hearing. He shouted which exposed her, "Who is there?""… I'm here to look for Cousin Xin," under that circumstance, she had to turn around and pretended that she just arrived. She asked Qiu Feng embarrassedly who walked out of the artificial hill slowly, "Did you guys see where she went?""She should be going back to her room. Her room is over there." Maybe Jiang Qizheng was crying just now. So, she didn't show herself. She just raised her voice and told Qiu Yelan, "Follow this road to the end. When you see a Chuihua door, go in and ask any servant."Qiu Yelan thanked them and left in a
At night, Jiang Yashuang had a shower before having sex with Qiu Yelan as usual. After this, he could not fall asleep. He tried to listen carefully to the sound outside and expected somebody would come and report the diagnostic result.However, he waited until the middle of the night with no one to report it, and his heart grew heavier and heavier.The inkiest black light before dawn, Jiang Yashuang heard a faint rustle outside the window, which was drizzle hitting the banana leaves. The sound was dense but light and soft. In the past, it made him relaxed when listened to it. But now, the sound unnerved him more and more.He pushed lightly away the sleeping Qiu Yelan in his arm, crept up to get dressed, and ran to the Marquess Qin's yard in the night to find out the news himself.It was dark at this time of night, and the porch kerosene lamps were lit, but all did not shine far, seeming dim and heavy.With the heavy he
At the beginning of last year, Qiu Yelan had been invited by Jiang Qizheng to the Jinxiu Slope for an outing. At that time, she knew from Gu E'nuo, the Princess Shou'an, that her Persian cat Whitey was a problem because of its origin. It was grabbed by Ling Zui, who always courted his best friend's pretty sister, from the Tao Family...Coincidentally, it was Princess Changping's cat in the first place.Over the past year, Qiu Yelan had met Princess Changping several times. But the places they met were usually at a banquet or in the palace with the Empress. They even had not had a chance to talk more, let alone about the cat. Since then, Qiu Yelan gradually forgot the cat's origin. Unluckily, Princess Changping finally came to her house for it. However, she was not afraid of it as the Empress was standing behind her back. Thinking of this, she managed to force a smile and said, "A friend sent it to me as a gift. I did not know where it came from."
While Changping Princess was badgering Empress Dowager Gu to ask for a benefit for her daughter, Princess Changping went back to her palace and got her clothes changed. Just when she sat in front of the dresser, a maid came in to report, "Princess Shou'an is here.""Invite her to have a cup of tea in the side palace hall. Tell her that I just came back and would be there after cleaning up," Princess Changping wasn't surprised.She instructed. She cleaned herself up and arrived in the side palace hall. She saw Gu E'nuo sitting on the right side. There was a cat with a glossy coat on her lap. The cat's water blue eyes were big, round and bright. It lovingly laid there and looked around quietly. It looked so adorable."Oh. What makes you bring "Yuan Bao" here?" Princess Changping knew that Gu E'nuo loved the Persian cat very much. She even did the cat's daily grooming herself. Because the Persian cat was afraid of strangers. It was very wary of an
Since Jiang Qiyun was already there, Xin Fubing and Qiu Yelan couldn't avoid seeing her. They went to the Flower Hall together. Just when they went in, Jiang Qiyun said with sarcasm, "Oh. You guys were nowhere to be seen for such a long time. I thought you guys were not going to come!"Qiu Yelan didn't think much of her anyway. Now that she had married into the Jiang Family. She didn't need to be concerned about Jiang Qiyun's status as the Jiang Family's daughter like before. So, she said flatly, "You are here without notice. We didn't expect you. And we were afraid that we would be neglecting you coming out untidily. We had to tidy up. Are you unhappy because of it?"Jiang Qiyun looked at her stunning face. Her face went dark, "You have become ornerier after being the daughter-in-law of our family! Can't I even tease a bit? Who do you think you are? Are you so precious?""What you said is inappropriate!" As Jiang Qiyun scolded her directly, Qi
The three people were all confused by Jiang Qiyun's visit. But in the later afternoon, the Empress made Nijin come over to see if they needed any help. Nijin implied, "The Empress convened Princess Qi earlier out of two purposes. One was that she heard Princess Qi embarrassed Prince of Qi in public because of some trivial matters. So, the Empress wanted to admonish her against doing this again! The other was that the Empress heard Princess Changping sent the invitation letter to you two so she let Princess Qi communicate with Miss Xin and then accompany Miss Xin there. However, upon the arrival of Princess Qi, she...""That explains she came here in a rage!" Xin Fubing snorted, "As if I robbed her of something!"When she had hardly finished her speaking, her maid behind her hurried to remind her by drawing her sleeve that Nijin was present!But Xin Fubing ignored her and continued, "From my point of view, Jiang Qiyun should not go to Gu E'nuo's
That morning, Qiu Yelan and the two others got up early and asked the maids to wait on them."Since it's just a small banquet for people of the same generation, we shouldn't be rigged out in our best. It will make us look dull and show that we take them so seriously!" Zhuang Man thought hard in front of the bronze mirror, "But if we just go there casually, we won't be impressive. We have to tread carefully.""It's only we two who have to tread carefully." Xin Fubing said while concentrating on selecting beads from the jewel case, "The nineteenth cousin will be impressive enough even though she wears a thorn hairpin and a coarse skirt. She can dress up anyway!"Qiu Yelan didn't plan to dress up actually because Xin Fubing was the main story this day and she had no intention of stealing the show. She smiled, "Are you afraid that I won't help you then so you keep flattering me before we go out?""It had better be that sister-in-law ha
When the womenfolk in the garden were intriguing each other, a low fence of a thatched cottage in the corner of Summer Palace was covered with vines and red and white flowers, which attracted so many bees and butterflies. A waterwheel was erected on the ditch not far away, and it was washed by the water of the ditch at an appropriate speed. The water was tumbling, and the mountain breeze blew by, bringing coolness to the thatched cottage.Outside the thatched cottage, beside the low fence, Jiang Yashuang was wearing a crimson summer shirt, a golden crown and a jade belt, standing under a large locust tree with lush branches.The scorching summer sun cast mottled spots of light from the thick branches and leaves, illuminating his face like a beautiful jade. The smile at the corner of his mouth was like a spring breeze, and the piercing gleam in his eyes when he looked around made his eyes darker and brighter, showing his heroic spirit.While aft
