"Your Grace!" Seeing Qiu Yelan coming out, Qu Shan and his family were all excited.
Qu Shan's mother, Mrs. Li was about sixty. She was born in Prince's Mansion of Xihe and had a talent for cooking. When she was only over 20, she took charge of the old Princess' diet.
When the old Princess of Xihe passed away, Qiu Mengmin was in charge. He didn't trust the servants of his official mother, so he sold most of them. Qu Shan's family was supposed to be sold as well, but Princess Ruan kept them and some other servants, so they started serving Princess Ruan and her daughter.
It could be said that his family watched Qiu Yelan grow up, so they had a unique feeling for her.
Now when the master and the servants saw each other again after a long time, Mrs. Li couldn't help bursting into tears. Sobbing and bowing down on her knees, she said, "I couldn't imagine that I would see Your Grace again!"
"Mrs. Li, please stand up!" Qiu Yel
When Qiu Yelan rushed to Renqing Pharmacy the entire store, including the two-story small building which was used as accommodation place and storeroom behind the store, had been smashed beyond recognition. Fortunately, because it is the first lunar month and almost all shops on the street were close for the New Year, there were few people surrounded and watched. There were just so few onlookers, and they even dispersed after seeing her.This relieved Qiu Yelan, who was ready to face thousands of people's judgements in a jampacked place.But when she just got out of the carriage, she heard He Zifu's sigh, and he looked distressed, seeing the place not very far and saying, "Your Grace! Look there!"It was a plaque that was made by famous artists who were hired by Renqing Pharmacy when it started business dozens of years ago.This shiny plaque which had always been rubbed to almost like a mirror, was now smashed to few parts, and it w
Hearing what Chu Weizhou said, she could tell that he had fallen for Jiang Yashuang’s trick before. And it happened yesterday. Qiu Yelan smiled. She didn’t try to cover up her gloating look.Chu Weizhou looked her angrily and said to Chu Weize, "Weize, why are you with him?" His discontent with Jiang Yashuang showed between the lines."We met on the road," Chu Weize was one year older than Chu Weizhou. He was 18. But he was way calmer than his brother. People couldn’t tell his attitude towards Jiang Yashuang and Qiu Yelan from his expression at all. He was pleasant and graceful, "Weizhou, why are you here?""I was passing by. I saw someone seeking justice. So, I stopped to take a look," Chu Weizhou’s look was gloomy, "I didn’t think Commandery Princess Ningyi was so glib that she was able to pass the buck completely with a few words. Instead, she accused this poor couple for something they didn’t do. She even wanted to blame me."Q
“Thank you for arriving in time,” after Chu Weize and Chu Weizhou left, Qiu Yelan stopped pretending to be pity. She walked out from behind Jiang Yashuang. She curtseyed and said with a smile, “Otherwise, as an insignificant Commandery Princess, how could I stand up to Prince of Yan and Prince of Zhou?”She had a lot of things to deal with recently. Girls at her age were normally a little skinny at this time. Now she was so skinny that her lower jaw was pointy which made her face look more exquisite and delicate. Especially her eyes looked like peach blossom which made her always seem loving and tender even when she looked at people angrily. Now that she smiled which made her seem more loving and tender.As sophisticated as he was, Jiang Yashuang was still stunned by her beauty for a moment. Then he said with a smile, “You are welcome. Prince of Yan and Prince of Zhou may not be as glib as you.”“Prince of Zhou and Prince of Yan stand high abov
"How shameless are you to come back here?" Just when Qiu Yelan stepped inside the door, a tea bowl was smashed on the threshold, and porcelain shattered.Princess Yang with a wound on her head screamed, "You evil thing! We've raised you for so long! Even if I have a dog, with so many years of food and drinks, it won't bite me!" She knew that it was impossible to buy Qiu Yelan over, so she didn't care anymore and vented directly."I just wanted to greet my uncle and aunt, but it turned out only my aunt is here to see me." However, Qiu Yelan was here to be hostile today, so she said, "Besides, my aunt refers to me as a dog and smashes a tea bowl as soon as she sees me. Sure enough, uncle and aunt are feeling guilty? One dares not to come out, and one tries to shift the subject by being hostile?"Before Princess Yang had the chance to speak, Qiu Yelan shouted, "Su He, give me that thing!"Su He, Chun Ran, and others heard her. They to
Princess Yang watched Qiu Yelan and the others walking away and holding their head high. She thought about the tens of thousands of taels silver note that she just paid and couldn't stop feeling heartbroken. She couldn't help telling Qiu Mengmin, "She is protected by Empress, but we have Empress Dowager stand behind, too! Why do we spend this money to reconcile and buy the peace?!""You know nothing?!" Qiu Mengmin's eyes were dark and deep, like full of fog and haze, and he said coldly, "Jiang Family had our family's handle about Qu Shan family's matter. Also, Li was indeed knowing clearly how our mother was expelled at that time. She was serving nearby and watching when the old Princess removed our mother's name from the pedigree book. If now we get into the palace, we will definitely suffer disadvantages!""... How about after the Lantern Festival?" Princess Yang paused for a moment and asked anxiously.Qiu Mengmin said, "After knowing Qu Sha
Ruan Qingyan looked at the official with ferocious look just after he scolded—But Qiu Yelan was faster than him!The young girl's crisp and sweet voice was like a pearl falling into a jade plate. And it moved people deeply. But her words were more severe than the official's, "Qiu?! My title of Commandery Princess has not been canceled. So far, I'm still a vice-one-class Commandery Princess! Even the eunuch of Empress calls me "Commandery Princess Ningyi." You dare to call my last name—where is your rule of senior and junior as a sixth-class official?! Are you bullying me because I'm so young that I can be easily frightened?!"Before waiting for the official to speak, Qiu Yelan said loudly and angrily, "As for whether I deserve to be here or not, I am ordered to be here today! It is also permitted by Empress Dowager, Emperor and Empress! Do you think it's inappropriate?! As a court official, how dare you offend the sacred will! Do you respect t
The Empress's Party also noticed the crisis—Qiu Mengmin even betted his title and his life in public. How could he be willing to make such a big bet if he was not quite sure?A moment after the turmoil of all officials, a level five civil official in a light scarlet robe came out with a dignified expression, "It is a big event. Is there any evidence?!"Qiu Mengmin raised his head. A sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth. He looked at Princess Yang who had not had a chance to intervene until now first, and then looked at the several people who were lying prostrate on the ground behind her, "The two old servants who served old Princess at that time can prove it! In fact, it is because of the two loyal servants that I knew that old Princess forgave my biological mother!"He arched his hand to the persons above the red footsteps, "I beg Empress Dowager, Emperor and Empress to allow them to prove for me!"The emperor sat there witho
As soon as they entered the General's Mansion, before the gate was closed, Qiu Yelan pulled Ruan Qingyan's sleeve in a rush, "How did you know that letter?" She, who inherited the memory of this body, didn't remember this letter, but Ruan Qingyan was adopted to the Ruan Family as an heir only half a year ago and he submitted the letter to everyone at the court—even a blind man could see there was something strange about him!But Ruan Qingyan calmly said, "It was Ruan An who told me!""Ruan An?" Qiu Yelan was stunned and looked at Ruan An, the old butler who was coming from not far away.As expected, Ruan An bowed and asked anxiously, "Was the letter used at the court?""Yes," Ruan Qingyan nodded and made a serious salute to him, "Thanks for your reminding, or we would be caught in big trouble!" If Ruan Qingyan didn't take out the letter in time, even if Qiu Yelan was articulate, she could only depend on Empress Jiang to muddle up t
