The next day, Qiu Bo came to visit with her younger sister Qiu Qian.
Qiu Yelan greeted them in person at the second door, which made the two sisters feel very flattered. Today, Qiu Bo was not wearing the gorgeous dress as she did at the entrance to the examination compound, maybe for Qiu Yelan's reason that she was still in the mourning period. Instead, she was wearing a broad sleeved summer dress with lotus patterns in light green. Her hairstyle was the coil of a snake, on which there were not many beads. The hair looked even darker against the white jade hairpin that was in the pattern of a phoenix head with a bead in the mouth.
She was born a beauty. Although she was simply dressed and had a dignified look, she had a seductive charm all over.
The twelve-year-old Qiu Qian was innocent and artless. She followed Qiu Bo's steps with a restrained look. She looked around curiously as Qiu Yelan was not focusing on her, showing her childishness.
Qiu Yelan returned to Prince's Mansion unhappily. Just as she entered the yard, Chunran came up and reported her a message, "Mistress Bian bled!""Oh?" Qiu Yelan was startled. She agreed to protect Mistress Bian before Qiu Mengmin recovered. Now that Qiu Mengmin had recovered, it had nothing to do with her, so she just asked, "Who did it? Princess Yang or Qiu Hongzhi?"Chunran said, "It was noisy over there. We have not made it clear. Anyway, she had eaten the wrong thing. Now the doctor is busy working."There was definite news in the evening that the baby survived, but Mistress Bian had lost much of the vitality and had to stay in bed and rest. She couldn't even walk out of the room. Another message was that Qiu Mingzhu had asked for leave from Shao Yuemei, saying that she was worried about Mistress Bian and wanted to be with her for a few days."Neither Princess Yang nor Qiu Hongzhi was punished?" Qiu Yelan was a little surprise
But during the class in the afternoon, Shao Yuemei's complexion had returned to normal, showing no attempt to investigate this matter.Qiu Yelan was surprised at first, but then she thought Shao Yuemei was only a female teacher. Even if she was a loyal follower of the Jiang Family, she was not its family member after all. If she was really involved in the whirlpool of whether the present throne was legal or not, she might not come to a good end. That is to say, it conforms to the interests of all parties to deal with it like there is no such thing, as Sheng Shishui suggested."Fortunately, cousin Qiu Mingzhu wasn't here. Otherwise, she wouldn't be so sensible since she was more insidious and less intelligent." Qiu Yelan let out a long sigh of relief secretly," Qiu Qian was a little bit lucky, otherwise, Qiu Nie couldn't protect her if this matter really caused some troubles."Now that this matter had already passed, Qiu Yelan would not mention
Qiu Yelan was stupefied, and then said, "What does this have to do with me?"Sheng Shishui said neatly, "Yang Yifu is the child of a concubine. Her biological mother is old and out of favor now. She used to be her father's beloved. She still has some money in her hand. She has only one biological daughter, Yang Yifu. She is willing to take it all out to avenge her daughter.""She should go to 'Tianya'. What does she want from me?" Qiu Yelan muttered in her heart, but she also knew that "Tianya" was not an organization known to anyone.Seeing Sheng Shishui who had a determined look at this moment, she said lightly, "You probably misunderstood. I am actually only interested in my own money. What's more, last time Yang Yishi might have suffered a loss in my hand. However, can I still go to the Yang Family to deal with her?"Sheng Shishui was a bit surprised, but she quickly said, "What if the person who contacted Yang Yishi is your co
Under the cover of Ruan Qingyan, Qiu Yelan finally ate meat for once. She was reluctant to leave the General's Mansion. Her heart was filled with gratitude to her brother, "How nice my cousin is! He is definitely the best cousin in the world!""I've been worrying about the child for so long. It is not as good as letting her eat meat." By contrast, Ruan Qingyan was not in a good mood as she was. After seeing off Qiu Yelan, he sighed to Dongran, "If I had known this, I should have laid down the rules for her. If she were obedient, I would often ask her to come here and quietly cook a meat meal for her. If she were disobedient, there would only be green vegetables and tofu!"Dongran covered her mouth and laughed, "Your Grace is still growing up, she inevitably had some desire for food.""Next time she comes here, let her take the parrot away. I've taught it two auspicious words. It's not easy for me. As a result, she has stared at it for a while.
The next noon, Qiu Yelan finished her class and took Qiu Qian to her room. Entering the room, she saw He Shuijin sitting leisurely on the bed under the west window. With a Chinese rose in her hand, she was playing with Whitey."Miss He?" Qiu Yelan was surprised and then scolded Chunran. "Why didn't you go to my class and call me?"He Shuijin threw the Chinese rose to Whitey at once and stood up to salute. She said smilingly, "Your Grace, don't blame them. It was me who told them not to go and disturb you. After all, there was nothing urgent. When I was waiting here, they served me well. It's just I played with your Persian cat without asking for your permission."Qiu Yelan didn't care about her playing with Whitey. This Persian cat was of good quality and was taken good care of by Su He and others. Now it was so beautiful that all the maids would like to hold it in their arms. As its real master, Qiu Yelan didn't have time to play with it and w
After Shao Yuemei arrived, although Princess Yang was full of hatred, she didn’t dare to offend Shao Yuemei. Because she was overawed by all the noble ladies who came to visit when Shao Yuemei moved her school last time. Especially, Jiang Family and Princess Yongfu. So, she only managed to maintain her dignity because Shao Yuemei came to mediate and left in a huff.When she was about to leave, she couldn’t help saying, “Yishi’s brother and father have already brought people to General’s Mansion to seek justice. After this, even Ruan Qingyan marries Yishi, he won’t be able to stay in Hanlin Academy anymore. For Yishi’s sake, best-case scenario, he will be dispatched to some remote place to be a low-level officer. He deserves this! But my poor niece doesn't!”“It sounds like Darui belongs to Yang family.” Qiu Yelan sneered, “Aunt, you’d better be discreet about your words. In case someone accuses us of having an ulterior motive. Besides, although I’m not well
At noon, in the middle room of the back yard of the Ding Family.Madame Xue was rubbing her temples. "Ge? What's she coming for?" said she.The maid replying to her knew Madame Xue did not like Ge. Ge was always cocky because she considered herself the most favorite one of Prince. The maid replied frighteningly, "Ge told me it's about Qingyan. She got an idea but was not sure of it. She came here for your suggestion.""We have discussed it. We have no choice but to let Ding Qingyan marry that girl. Ge is only a mistress. I can't believe she can propose any good idea," said Madame Xue coldly.Madame Xue knew her grandson, Ding Qingyan well. Because he himself thought that he was born in a powerful family and handsome, he liked to woo young girls.Ding Qingyan’s father, the second son of Madame Xue had died long ago. Meanwhile, Ding Qingyan was good at flattering, which made Madame Xue favor him more than others. Ding Ha
A gift granted by the emperor was caught on a prostitute's head. Surely, it was a big deal.Qiu Mengmin and Princess Yang had expected that their coming must lead to big trouble, but they had not expected that was coming.Both of them turned pale. They wanted to speak, but Ruan Qingyan shook his hand, saying, "Let's go to the point. As some stuff belonging to Old Princess Lian and my aunt have been sold in the market. I guess there might be more in the market. We both took the list of the dowry with us today. I suggest we open the boxes and check them in front of the servants. By doing so, the servants may realize that we pay close attention to the stuff and they should not do the wrongdoings again!"Check? How to check?Needless to ask for his wife's suggestion, Qiu Mengmin had known the answer. It was no.When Princess Ruan was alive, she kept a close tab on her dowry, while Old Princess Lian did not. For safety, Old
