Chapter 255 More Children
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

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
The Crowned Lady Chapter 258 Having Guessed Wrongly Again
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?

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

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

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 Crowned Lady Chapter 262 The Boy from the Western Tribes
However...The moment the first soldier of the western tribes leaped out of the snow, Shen Cangfeng, as if he had been prepared for this, swiftly retreated three steps on the snow. It took almost no time to reach the side of his mount. Within a blink of an eye, his spear was in his hand! Meanwhile, Shen Die suddenly lifted up the thick blanket spread on the snow. With his arms raised, he threw the blanket like a discus towards where the arrows came in the thickest clusters!They could hear the sound of arrows hitting the blanket. Nobody knew how many arrows the blanket caught. However, although the arrows easily tore through the outer layer of the blanket, they didn't penetrate it. Amidst the enemy's shouting, they could hear metal clanking from beneath the blanket!The rest of Shen Cangfeng's men also responded quickly only a little later than him. No matter whether they had been resting on the ground or standing guard, all of them, wit

After the brutal battle, the white snow, within an area of two hundred paces, had turned to dirty water mixed with blood.Shen Cangfeng saw that all the people from the western tribes, except two, had been executed on the spot, and the soldiers were excitedly chopping off the heads so that they could go back to claim the credit. Happy laughter and cheerful voices were everywhere. He handed over his spear to Shen Die and went to the side with Shen Youjia to ask about what happened in his battle. Apparently, what he was most concerned about was, "Your excellency, have you decapitated Muxiuer with your own hands?"However, having heard this, Shen Youjia, who had been excited, looked upset. He touched his nose and awkwardly coughed a few times before whispering, "Er... The King's Ten Eagles were indeed fierce. Although I set up several traps and six of them died, they fought desperately to find a way out for Muxiuer and the last one who was alive helped
