Wei Shengxian then had lunch at the Jintong Courtyard. In the afternoon, she returned home with mixed feelings and dismissed everyone except for her two daughters. She spoke to them privately, "Your cousin suggested that it would be better not to marry into the Deng Family. I think she has a point now she has explained it to me."
Song Xiyue blushed, saying, "I'll leave it all to you to decide, mother." She didn't ask the reason.
Wei Shengxian was satisfied with her daughters' politeness and understanding, so she explained it to them, "Your cousin said that Deng Zongqi is a very good person. However, his parents have passed away and he is protected by the Honored Consort, so it is inevitable that the Honored Consort might become his burden in the future." She then spoke about the feud between the Empress and the Honored Consort and the current situation in the palace, sighing, "Honestly, when your cousin just started to speak of it, I felt that I shouldn't m
"This is such a good opportunity that this b*tch, Empress Gu, will not let it go!" At about the same time, Honored Consort Deng held a precious pure breed black Chausie with four white paws, sitting in a small pavilion in the rock garden of the Mingguang Palace and leisurely saying.Because of the Crown Prince's wedding, she had especially had her nails done two days before. The bright color was still very shiny after a day, still intensely red like the blood that had just flowed out and hadn’t dried yet. Her carefully treated and delicate fair-skinned hand ran over the shiny coat of the cat. The red, white, and black were added together, presenting an indescribable eeriness. The Chausie felt so content that it kept purring and rubbing its fluffy face against Honored Consort Deng's hand, showing its affection.Yao Tao was allowed to be seated on the right, paying no attention to the cat, but the Honored Consort's words drew her complete attention. She asked
While people were plotting against each other in the palace, all were joyful at the Grand Preceptor's mansion. Wei Changying, who had just married into the family this year as the third daughter-in-law, was pregnant, and Ji Qubing had confirmed that she was pregnant with a boy. There was also another good piece of news arriving at the mansion today. Prince Ji was among the children that the Emperor had summoned back to the capital for the New Year this year.Shen Xuan and Madam Su had a total of eight children, including their own children and concubines' children, but they only had two daughters who were their lineal children. There were only a few girls but many boys, so naturally girls were much more precious.The lineal oldest daughter, Shen Cangxiu, had married Shen Jia, who was the third son of the Emperor and was crowned Prince Ji, and she had gone to their fiefdom with Prince Ji only a month after the wedding. The Emperor didn't like Prince Ji that
"Actually, whether the children are born by concubines or by our second sister-in-law, they will still call her 'mother'. Our second sister-in-law has no sons. If one of these four concubines does give birth to a son, won't she still be the one who will raise the child? As the saying goes: The person who brought you up is greatly more important than the one who merely gave birth to you. So, the child would be almost like her own child after her years of nurture." In the afternoon, the warm sunshine of the winter sun shone on the soft bed through the window. Wei Changying and Mrs. Liu sat at the table on which a chessboard was placed. They held different chess pieces respectively, playing leisurely.Mrs. Liu was playing white. While playing, she was talking to Wei Changying, who was required not to leave the courtyard, "When our second sister-in-law returned to her courtyard that day, she cried behind closed doors. A couple of days later, Mother happened to hear about it
As soon as Wei Changying had come back from seeing Mrs. Liu off, she had sent Mrs. Huang over to warn Wei Shengxian. But it was too late.It was just getting dark when Mrs. Huang came back, looking grim and saying, "When I arrived at the First Madam's house, the First Madam had just got the news that the Liu Family had made a marriage proposal and was about to send someone over to the Second Madam's house to know more about the sixteenth young master of the Liu Family. Having heard what I said, the First Madam immediately burst into tears, saying... it might be too late!"Wei Changying was shocked, saying, "How come? It's only been a few days. Have they already had their fortunes read? How is this possible?!""The Liu Family hasn't given them the bride price, but they did send a letter to ask for her full name and her birth horoscope yesterday." Mrs. Huang sighed and said."Since they only got to that stage, it's not impossi
Since the Empress had personally approved the marriage, Song Xiyue and Liu Xixun had to marry each other.At this point, Wei Changying didn't dare to say anything bad. Instead, together with Wei Zhengyin, she tried to persuade Wei Shengxian to calm down, saying that maybe things wouldn't be as bad as they had thought. Song Xiyue was Wei Huan's granddaughter. So if the Liu Family wanted to get rid of her because of Liu Xixun, they would have to think carefully.Wei Shengxian was saying "Sure". But this was about her daughter, how could she truly stay calm? Even if the Liu Family didn't kill Song Xiyue but after she got married, since her husband's family hated her, would she ever have a peaceful life?Thinking of this fate, she was depressed, making her more vulnerable to diseases. Two days later, after she had returned to her place, someone had made her furious. The second madam of the Wei Family, Mrs. Duanmu, who had been at odds with h
When the New Year's Eve banquet had finished, Madam Su got hold of Wei Changying and asked why Princess Anji had sat at her side during the banquet.Wei Changying didn't know whether it was right or wrong to tell Princess Anji about Huo Zhaoyu. Since there were other people around, she was worried that others might overhear them and she would make enemies if she said it. She said vaguely, "Princess Anji and I only made a small talk."Madam Su didn't believe her at all. She was a First Rank Madam who would certainly go to the palace during festivals and who usually visited Weiyang Palace. Princes were not people whose lives she could pry into, so in order not to upset anyone, she wasn't nosy. All she knew of them were things everyone knew, but in terms of princesses and infantas, she knew them well.Only Princess Linchuan among all the three unmarried princesses in the palace could possibly speak to the imperial madams at the New Year's E
On the second day of the lunar New Year, all the families in the capital were celebrating the New Year, but things were quiet for the Wei Family.There were traces of the festivities in the mourning hall, which had been hurriedly prepared. The bright festive red and green together with the white flowers and paper money looked very sorrowful.It was the day when married daughters returned to their old homes. Wei Changying was carefully supported and brought into the mourning hall. She saw Wei Changwan kneeling by the coffin, holding Wei Changjuan with one arm and crying with the other hand on the coffin.She was dressed in rough unhemmed sackcloth. Apparently, she was wearing the "Zhan Cui" mourning apparel from the 'Wufu' system (“Wu” means “five” in Chinese character; five kinds of mourning dresses which showed the sadness of the mourners), which showed the deepest sadness. According to the Great Vi's funeral ceremonies, unmarried women
In the first month of the year, two funerals in quick succession among noble families in the capital had dampened the festivity.Wei Shengyi had lost his wife in midlife, but he was only an official, so everything was done according to protocol. However, the death of Dowager Duchess Ji caused uproar in the whole capital.Having offered her condolences and returned from Duke Ji's mansion, Madam Su entered the main room and told her servants to leave, except for Granny Tao. As soon as the door was closed, Madam Su slapped the table hard with hatred, gnashing her teeth and saying, "This b*tch, Honored Consort Deng! She dares to bully our Shen Family!"Granny Tao tried to comfort her, "Please calm down, Madam. Duke Ji is very filial and he was kept in the dark about it. If he had known what was going on, why would he have let Honored Consort Deng take advantage of him?"Madam Su sneered, saying, "What do you know? Duke Ji had ob
The pills made by Ji Zhaosi himself and specifically used for hanging lives are extraordinary exactly.Huang asked Wei Changying to bring two pills, which were taken by Shen Shuxie and Shen Jingshi respectively. However, after half an hour, the two nephews and uncle, whose breath was originally weak, breathed clearly and evenly!Even before the high fever has been unrelenting Shen Jingshi, actually began to retreat from the heat!Although it was said that this one pill could not heal them immediately, and it might not even be able to guarantee that they would definitely survive.But ...... Shen stack wiped tears and cried and laughed, "Ji Shen doctor road is delayed again, and then there are at most ten days of light will be able to arrive!"The doctor who was called over to treat the uncle and nephew after taking the medicine said, "The second son and the second grandson are now revitalized, and if they take some more warming and tonic medicines. If th
Wei Changying rushed into the house in a hurry.Because the snow hadn't melted yet, and she was in a hurry, her foot slipped when she went up the steps, and she fell and knocked on the top step."Sister Wei, be careful!" Gu Rouzhang, who was running over with her skirt, shouted in shock and was about to rush forward to help her, but Wei Changying quickly stood up after the fall and went into the house as if nothing had happened.However, the remaining snow on the steps had been dyed blood red under this knock!A trail of blood dripped all the way into the house with Wei Chang Ying's steps!Gu Rouzhang's gaze paused on the blood before she came to her senses and turned back to instruct Shi Man'er, "Go to the car and bring Sister Wei's package!"Shi Man'er fearfully raised the things she was holding in her hands, "The maidservants brought it with them when they got off the bus.""Keep your voice down and follow me in to take a look." Gu Rouzha
Three days later, 5,000 Western Liang horsemen arrived to welcome Wei Chang Ying's aunt and nephew back to the camp.Originally, there was still a last shred of fantasy in his heart, but when he saw the leader of these 5,000 elite soldiers, a lieutenant who claimed to be named Cai Qingzhi, coming up to the hall in onyx, Wei Changying understood everything the news that Shen Bo had been executed by Pei Jie and the others privately was still unknown, and since it was not to observe the filial piety of the Son of Heaven, who else was qualified to receive this onyx of the Xiliang army, except for Shen Xuanyuan? Who else in the world is qualified to receive this onyx besides Shen Xuan?This is nothing less than proof that Shinbo's words that day, or at least part of what he said, were in no way a lie.Wei Changying was like falling into a freezing cellar in an instant!She grabbed her sleeve in death, and was silent for ten or so breaths before she let Cai Qingzhi
Although the news brought by Shen Bo had left the crowd in a state of shock and anger, the rendezvous with Mo Binwei was more or less a relief.Before they easily escaped from the pursuit of the Rong people, and then settled in Changxian not that they are willing to stay in Changxian, but is listening to Shi Lin said that the left side of the county is also Changxian because of the remoteness of the land, there is no big family, so instead of the peace more.With the Rong people to the north and bandits to the south, there's really no other safer way than to wait for news here.And the news that Schilling was told to poke around never did ......Now Mo Binwei with the Wei family's three thousand elite cavalry to come, naturally do not have to Wei family of those doing business with a good hand to continue to rush ducks on the shelf as a scout, there are after Mo Binwei coaching of tough scouts to do this errand.So Mo Binwei stationed in Changxian Count
"...... Zhu Chengyi is the person who served my birth mother back then. After my birth mother was murdered for the abolitionist Gu, I occasionally took advantage of my foster mother's lack of preparation and went to the palace where she had lived to reminisce, and often saw him secretly burning incense and praying for my birth mother in the corner. Later, my foster mother lost favor, I live in the Jia Mu Palace, Zhu Chengyi frugal saving a meager monthly fee to me, I still remember when I was ten years old in the Jia Mu Palace in the snow like a mat, freezing cold, Zhu Chengyi did not wear a fur coat, freezing and shivering from the corner of the door to look for me in no one's place hard to plug his pawn fur coat of silver money to me, said that is afraid that I have been deducted from the royal son of the part of the case, hurt the body ... ... ...When he was about to part, he was in his prime but appeared to be trembling due to the lack of clothing to protect him from the cold an
Dusk, the remnants of the sun like blood, to the icy sky and snow gilded like gold and blood light.Mo Binwei, dressed in military attire and dusty, followed Pei Jie into the inner courtyard.Although this mansion, which was already a first-class courtyard in Chang County, could not meet the eyes of the real nobles, it was tidied up quite neatly by Shi Lin's commanders.At this moment, the snow in the courtyard were broom swept carefully, the ground brick was frozen into a pale green color. But the corner of the yard quietly spit stamens of a red plum by the north wind blew down a few buds fell on it, the pale more pale, red more colorful, but it looks like a picture.Dark fragrance filled the court, but see the corridor under the two with plain dresses of young girls, playful and bright, is whispering.Noticing that Gu Xi Nian had brought someone with her, Shi Jian'er and Shi Qing'er busily rose and saluted, "Mr. Gu!"Gu Xi Nian raised her stage
"They didn't land in Jiu County, or even enter the city at all, before continuing south?" In Chang County, in the afternoon, there was a foot of snow in the court, and ice prisms reached the ground under the eaves.However, because the house was burning with an underground dragon, Wei Chang Ying was only wearing a jacket. She was dressed in onyx, not adorned with jewelry, but her natural beauty still made the few young Shi daughters who served her look down on her.But Wei Changying, who had already put on her mother-in-law's mourning dress, was not in the mood to congratulate herself on her jade-like appearance.Through the embroidered curtain, she listened to the report of Shi Lin, who had rushed to Jiuxian County without stopping to find out the news and then rushed back, and her eyes gradually became heavy, "You go, and invite all the people who traveled with me to come over, in addition to Sister Deng, Jing'er, and the entourage!"Shi Lin heard the skept
Mo Binwei escorted Wei Xin Yong back to Fengzhou to take revenge, and originally agreed to return to the capital immediately after killing Wei Qi.Then Wei Xinrong would assist Shen Bo, who was still the Crown Prince at the time, to ascend to the throne, and then of course, he would gain high rank and salary by taking his own merits from the dragon, and then vigorously cultivate Mo Bunwei his birth mother died early, and his relationship with his family was not good, and the Crown Prince was too short a period of time for him to develop any deep roots, so there was no one available to him in any respect. Available, Wei Xin Yong and Mo Bunwei such and real learning, but no reliable background of the young talent, it is Shen Bo's dream of the right arm.According to Wei Xin Yong's previous plan, with the help of the Shen Bo emperor's identity, he and Mo Binwei a literary and military cultivation of power, the existence of Wei for a year to cultivate a year of course, he wi
Taking advantage of the light of setting up camp, Mo Binwei walked into the tent that had been specially erected for Wei Xinrong, who had not yet recovered from his illness.The tent is lit with two wind lamps, Wei Xin Yong's feet, there is a delicate mythical beast gilt furnace, the furnace burning the best silver frost charcoal, warm, but do not see half a bit of smoke and fire atmosphere.This is a disease for many years of Rui Yu Hall six old master than a year ago, thin not a little two points, the whole person even some form of bone meaning. Originally fair face through a strange pallor, more and more appear his eyes cold as a cold pool, bottomless.Not only that, the weariness between his brows was very obvious, making Mo Binwei very worried for him, "Mr. Wei, but today's march was too long?""There's no harm in it." Wei Xinrong sipped the hot ginseng tea in the tinu, shook his head slightly, and said in a slightly hoarse voice, "My physique is too wea
