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
"Why is young master Deng leaving?" Chunran and others asked inexplicably, "Does he quit learning martial arts?"Qiu Yelan said with guilty, "Maybe he missed his family." Perfunctorily, she hurriedly changed to another subject, "Cousin will attend the test on February 9th. His recent diet should be certain things that you definitely shouldn't let slide. What he has eaten for these days?Chunran paused and said, "This... has always been managed by Sister Dongran.""Cousin will finished mourning period at the end of this month, just few days left.... I guess we could fetch some meat in secret for him to build up health," Qiu Yelan's lowed her voice, "But be careful, don't let others know. If Empress Dowager's men know it as a handle, they would ruin his fame!"Su He blinked her big eyes, admiringly said, "That's why Your Grace deliberately got him pissed off! Afraid of young master Deng divulge a secret leak? I just went in and saw t
“Little b*tch! How dare you go after my Lizhang? Do you have a death wish?” Qiu Yuqing was stunned for a moment. However, she used to bully Qiu Yelan all the time. How could she be frightened so easily? Waving her cattail leaf fan like hand, she was about to rush forward to rescue Kang Lizhang at once.However, without even blink, Qiu Yelan’s white fingertips dug down violently.The moment the cold fingertips touched her eyelid lightly, Kang Lizhang had already got frightened from her heart. With a sudden force at this moment, there came a terror more terrifying than the unknown fierce pain which was the fear of getting her eyes dug out alive. Kang Lizhang who was always calm and resourceful totally blanked out.She only had one clear thought which was fear!The enormous and boundless fear!The widespread and overwhelming terror!However, although her eyes were bulged out like a goldfish by the squeeze at this mo
"Have I saved money here?" Ling Zui stunned for a moment and came to realization that this was a nice way of Qiu Yelan to give him money in order to let him take it generously.If Ruan Qingyan gave it to him, he would take it easily; but he always softened himself when he saw beautiful girls. Especially for Qiu Yelan who was such a belle, he wouldn't hesitate to give her money to show his richness, how could he accept money from her instead? Then he smiled and said, "I'm sure that sister Ning Yi misremembered. I don't remember saving money at the Ruan Family." While he was talking, he shamelessly changed the referral affectionately.But as soon as he refused to accept it, Qiu Yelan was annoyed." What does this man want to do today? Did he come to drag cousin for supporting Penglai Yue and Yingzhou Yue?"Because she hadn't dealt with Ling Zui before and didn't know his temper, Qiu Yelan pondered the wording for a while and didn't know how to tal
The snow stopped in the afternoon on this day, and the thin winter sunlight transmitted slight warmth to people on the ground.Qiu Yelan went to Cuiwei Pavilion with a sour face. As soon as she entered, she saw Deng Yi frowning and sitting under the window, reading."Well, aren't you here to learn martial arts? Why are you reviewing books?" Qiu Yelan was surprised.Deng Yi glanced at her, and frowned even more, "Why are you here?""I come to guide you and give some advice." Qiu Yelan squeezed her hands, and knuckles made some crisp sounds, "But you are loafing on the job!""The day after tomorrow is the time for uncle to appraise my study, so I will return to Prince's Mansion of Guangyang," Deng Yi enviously glanced at her little white hands, but not for their good looks. Instead, he envied the great power within them, "I've practiced squatting for these days, so I have to take time reviewing."Seeing Qiu
The white-beard imperial doctor frowned with dignified complexion.Ruan Qingyan and Qiu Yelan were frightened to disturb him, so they held their breath aside. They even didn't have time to entertain Jiang Yashuang who brought this old imperial doctor.It took a long time for the old imperial doctor to loosen his grip and frowned, "Not good."Ruan Qingyan and Qiu Yelan's hearts suddenly sank!Fortunately, Jiang Yashuang asked calmly, "Can you cure him?""This time I can. But I'm not sure if it happens again." The old imperial doctor stroked his long beard. Although his complexion was dignified, Qiu Yelan discovered that he was a bit upset.Ruan Qingyan asked cautiously, "Imperial doctor, my grandfather's disease...?""It's difficult to cure him by medicine because he is old." The old imperial doctor sighed, "Especially his body has accumulated countless internal injuries since he has been engag
