Jiang Muting had stayed at home for claiming to be sick since the Empress Dowager granted the marital arrangement for Prince of Wei and Commandery Princess Nanzhang.
In order to clear up the misunderstanding between her and Jiang Muting, Song Yixiao tried a lot of ways hoping to have a face-to-face talk with her but she failed in the end. She didn’t give up until she heard Jian Xubai talk about different political views after they got married.
Today she was here only to walk through the formalities. However, to her surprise, before she even went to the mourning hall, she bumped into Jiang Muting first.
In a hurry she advanced and said with delight, “Muting? Long time no see!”
“Yeah, long time no see.” Jiang Muting looked thinner than she was at the feast of the Shangsi Festival, but maybe as the incidence happened half a year ago, she looked fine. She took a few glances at Song Yixiao and then went across the threshold, saying casu
Wei Chan wiped away her tears immediately and said expectantly, “What can I do?”“Isn’t there a public notice of successful candidates at the beginning of next spring?” Madam Mu said, “At present, seventy to eighty percent of the candidates for the examination have arrived. Our family is not that noble, but at least has three generations of officials. It’s no problem to find you a successful candidate-to-be!”Wei Chan heard Madam Mu say that her aunt and uncle didn’t want her to stay in the imperial capital at the very beginning, but she said later that there was a method, so Wei Chan thought that she could stay in the imperial capital. She didn’t expect that she was wanted to be married to a successful candidate-to-be from other places, which made her quite disappointed, and she said, “I’m sure the best ones will be able to pass the exam. But if they’re young and handsome, they will be taken a fancy by girls from noble families. How can I have the chance?
Luckily, there was a tavern which was not far from where the carriage broke down.Song Yixiao was supported by two servants, walking in the heavy wind and snow for quite a long time. Finally, they stepped inside the building.“Is there a suite?” A guard went to the counter and asked. At that moment, a voice “Huh” came from not far away. A man got up and walked over, “Yixiao? What brings you here?”Song Yixiao was still wearing a valance cap. It was cold. The tavern only left two door panels for people to enter, and a thick curtain was hung on the door. Although there were lights in the building, it was still inevitably bleak. Therefore, although she looked over immediately when hearing the voice, she could only see a vague figure. For a moment she did not recognize who it was, having to say vaguely, “The carriage is broken and it’s snowing outside. So I come here waiting for someone to go back to find another carriage.”“I’m afraid
Although Jian Xubai had only returned to imperial capital at the beginning of this year, he has already heard a lot about Ji Mingfei’s “war record” of teasing married women. After all, Ji Mingfei’s most outstanding “war record” was the capture of Jian Xubai’s mother, Jinguo Grand Princess...How could Jian Xubai not guard against such a guy who regarded ethics and morality as nothing?That night, Jian Xubai and Ji Su discussed the countermeasures for several hours in the study, and did not return to his room until midnight. Unexpectedly, Song Yixiao had not gone to sleep yet. She was napping against the perfumed stove and was awake clearly when she realized that he came in. She stood up, “Why do you come back so late?”“There are a few important official duties.” He was so pleased to see this scene and went up to hold her in arms, kissing her. Then he scolded her gently, “Why did you wait for me until so late? Go to sleep first next time.”
Now the one sitting on the left side of Song Yixiao was Princess Changxing and on the other side of her was a noble lady that she was not familiar with.She was on bad terms with Princess Changxing. Now that Changxing was clearly in a bad mood, she would definitely not ask for a snub. Hence, she asked Jinxun to stay at the feast for keep an eye for her. “Wuying has to get changed and I’ll accompany her then. If anyone looks for me, remember to inform me!”Then she got up with Yuedeng and headed to the door at the corner of the hall with Nie Wuying.Actually, it was her first time that she had come to the side hall. Luckily, two groups of palace servants were waiting outside. She asked them about a room for dressing up and then one of them volunteered to show her the way.After arriving at the warm chamber for female guests to wash and dress, Song Yixiao hinted Yuedeng to give a purse to the palace maid and then went into the chambe
Song Yixiao was not familiar with Princess Yushan, so after seeing the scene, she did nothing but to sigh about Su Shaoge’s charm.The feast started from the noon and ended by the night. After getting out of the imperial palace, Song Yixiao leaned against Jian Xubai’s shoulder when she stepped into the carriage, “let my head rest on your shoulder!”The nine-floral hairpins and ninth-rank diyi of a first-rank titled lady were beautiful and elegant indeed, but they were very heavy for Song Yixiao. It had been 6 hours since Song Yixiao wore those things in the early morning, which had already reached her tolerant extremity. Now that she was in the carriage and finally got relaxed. Instantly, the fatigue just overwhelmed her like a flood.Without even hearing clearly her husband’s reply, she fell asleep very soon.When she woke up, it was nearly noon the next day. Jinxun, who woke her up, kept urging her while dressing her up, “Miss Ni
After all, Commandery Princess Qingjiang was the eldest daughter of Jinguo Grand Princess. Now that she went mad, her three sisters-in-law didn’t dare to rebuke. They all rose and apologized, including Princess Changxing.“Why are you apologizing to me?” Commandery Princess Qingjiang snapped, “You are supposed to bring your husbands here! I will not make a fuss if they neglect others. How can they not care about their sister’s feelings?”Nie Wuying was always denounced for her family background. If her brothers and sister showed disrespect for her, who else would respect her?Song Yixiao and the other sisters-in-law also understood that. Although they were aware that their husbands were extremely busy, under the stress of Commandery Princess Qingjiang, they still sent words to their husbands as told. However, it remained unknown whether they would come after receiving the message.After a while, Jinguo Grand Princess arrived and se
As Jinguo Grand Princess, who was in despair, heard such great news all of a sudden, she dared not believe it in an instant and was dumbfounded where she was!It was not after Song Yixiao took a breath slightly that she added, “Su Shaomo and Su Shaoling didn’t know it was Wuying’s birthday date today. Nor did they know Wuying had run out on her own. Consequently, they took her to have fun outside the imperial capital and just went back to their house a moment ago. Upon knowing that we were looking for Wuying, they sent someone here to explain specifically!”“How about Wuying?” It wasn’t until Jinguo Grand Princess heard her words that she cried out of joy and asked hurriedly, “Did she come back? Where is she now?”As Song Yixiao was about to answer, unexpectedly, aide Xue Shiren walked in with a solemn look on his face. After greeting them roughly, he reported with a trembling voice, “Your Highness, there is someone from Youzhou!”
After the messenger sent by Commandery Princess Qingjiang left, the servant maids all gathered around her, looking anxious and worried, “Your Highness, it seems Commandery Princess Qingjiang will surely ask you to accompany her to Zhanchun Venue. Since Jinguo Grand Princess just got angry yesterday, it is inappropriate for you to treat Miss Nie lightly at this critical moment. However, if you leave here, how should you deal with the chores in the mansion? How about His Highness?”As Qiaoqin, who was influenced by Wei Mengying the most greatly, saw there were no outsiders on the scene now, said anxiously, “Your Highness, the chores inside the mansion are not issues at all! After all, you will be just absent for a few days. If someone dares to be lazy or play tricks, you can just deal with them after you come back! His Highness is the most important one. Although we all know His Highness loves you deeply and affectionately, there are always some fools daring to be presump
At this moment, the Grand Princess of Jin's residence.Jia Yao gently picked up the silver pot on the table and poured warm rose dew into the giltsilver begonia marigold, the sound of the flower dew entering the marigold seemed particularly silent against the backdrop of the whirling winter rain outside the window.The north wind rolled through the court, lifting up a snowy mist, and the obviously warm springlike interior was flooded with a chill for no apparent reason.She suddenly heard the sound of a rustling of the Chinese tent, and busily set aside the silver pot that had only been halfpoured, turning to check just in time to see the palefaced Grand Princess of Jin rising tremblingly to her feet."Is Your Highness thirsty?" Jia Yao took three steps to the edge of the couch and held the master, on one side taking a hidden bag from the side and padding it behind the Grand Princess so that she could lean more comfortably, and on the other side she said wit
With this sudden question, even though Jian Xu Bai has always been deeply favored by the Empress Dowager, he could not help but feel creeped out!He was stunned for a moment before he got up and left the couch, kneeling down in front of the Empress Dowager, and said in a deep voice ''Why did Imperial Grandmother make such a remark? I don't dare to say that I don't have any selfishness, but I have never thought of usurping the throne! The reason why I will support His Highness King Su to ascend to the throne, apart from worrying about Second Auntie, is also because His Highness King Su has the qualifications of a wise ruler, and can succeed the late Emperor's divine warrior!"Taking a deep breath, he knocked heavily on the ground, "I never thought of betraying Lu!""Good boy, mourning home but just so ask, why do you have to be so solemn?" The dowager empress looked at him with complicated eyes, bent down to help each other, sighed, "Mourning family naturally believ
In fact, the large empire, to say that no one can really stop that so far still silent Yu Qinghan may not be the problem is, whether the empire can hold, related to the entire Qingzhou Su's future!Therefore, the first and foremost thing that the candidate for guarding the city should do is to make the Su family trust him, otherwise, even if he is talented, the Su family will not be able to give him this important task!And because of the Marquis of Yan's support for King Su, even though there is now a disconnect between the Su family and the Su family, they are unanimous on the big issue of supporting King Su to ascend to the throne so Su Shaoge immediately considered Lv Qinghong of the Marquis of Yan after having no one at hand himself.As for the other generalship talents in the city, Su Shaoge could listen to their advice, but would definitely not give the forbidden army directly to their command!Now Su Bofeng said, if Lu Qinghong can't hold up Yu Qing
Uncle Lu is Lu Qinghong, the divine archer on the Wuhuan battlefield back in the day, Jian Xubai's right hand man although he is old, but also because of his age, even if Lu Qinghong has never been a commander before, in this kind of battle of defending the city, his rich experience in the sand field is the newcomer group of forbidden army is currently in urgent need of.After all, even Yang Jue himself, aside from yesterday's battle to seize the palace, had never experienced a real war.... In fact, last night s seizure of the palace could not be considered a war at all, but rather a sneak attack of a heavier nature.After understanding Su Shaoge's intention, Jianxu Bai pondered for a while and said, "Uncle Lu can lend it to you, however, he can't go with you right away, I have to give him a few words of advice!"Su Shaoge breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I should!""Uncle Lv, in your opinion, is Su Zhiyong really not confident in relying on Yang
Originally, according to Su Shaoge's intention, with Song Yixiao to take away the Jiangnan Hall secret guards "with the wind" after the token, directly erase Song Yixiao in two times to get together the token through the "with the wind" of the master, nailed Gu Shao.So send the Su family early infiltration into the "with the wind" people in fact, not necessarily "with the wind" in the people, anyway, the secret guards in addition to the internal no one knows, "Dai Feng" things to kill people are the same. "Dai Feng" to do things to kill people, recorded in the "with the wind" account is the same.Anyway, when Yang Jue led his troops into the palace, the heads that were thrown in front of He Wenqiong were all killed by "Gu Shao's secret guards from the Song family".In addition to dragging Gu Shao into the water, forcing him to help stabilize the situation and people's hearts afterwards, this is also to create the false impression that "you see, Minister Gu actual
This sudden palace change lasted until the faintest light of day, when the sound of swords and guns shouting and killing gradually subsided.But the panic in the imperial capital, from the royal family and officials down to the peddlers, could not end yet the day had already dawned, but the gates of the imperial capital's workshops still had no intention of opening."There are two pieces of news, one good and one bad." Su Shaoge reappeared in the flower hall of Marquis Yan's mansion, his face unable to tell if he was happy or angry, "The good news is that last night's takeover of the palace went very smoothly, inside and outside of the imperial city, no, it should be within the imperial capital, it's all already within our grasp!"But the bad news is very bad, "The forbidden troops sent to Wei's house missed their mark, allowing Wei Xi to escape up the city wall and let down at night!"If it was just one Wei Xi, Su Shaoge wouldn't be worried, the problem is,
After a moment of silence in the hall, Bell said in a hard tone, "Then why did Grandma hand over the 'Follow the Wind' token to Second Duke Su just now? In case he took it ...""Have you noticed?" Song Yixiao's gaze was icy cold as he said, "I only gave him the token, and he didn't ask for anything else I remember when I only had half of the token in my hand, I had asked him for advice on the matter of the Six Valves' secret guards, and he said that the token could first and foremost only be used by the head of the family, and only by the head of the family who had reached the age of the bundle of hair! Of course I am the only one left in the Jiangnan Hall's direct line now, so of course this rule is not so strict. But, he's neither under me nor is he anyone of mine, and he can actually mobilize 'Follow the Wind' with just the token! What do you think that means?!"Bell was slightly lost in thought and said ''So there are Su family members in the 'Follow the Wind'? But
Su Shaoge mildly said, "Of course it's useful when your father gifted the dark guards to Gu Shao, although it wasn't announced to the public, my Su family heard about it."He paused here, giving Song Yixiao a moment to think, before continuing, "So if there is a 'Follow the Wind' out there right now, it's always easier to do the aftermath, I don't know what Grandma thinks?"Song Yixiao stroked the jade bracelet on her wrist and mused.She understands the meaning of Su Shaoge's words, the socalled "I have heard of the Su family", meaning that they have the evidence of Song Yuan to Gu Shao's gift of secret guards, then this interception of He Wenqiong, as long as the "with the wind" is involved, regardless of whether the order comes from the Song Yixiao or Gu Shao, will be credited to Gu Shao's head in the end! The final result will be put on Gu Shao's head!So if you hold Gu Shao's handle, you can coerce Gu Shao to help the aftermath then the aftermath will
He Wenqiong is very disappointed to look at the screen outside the granddaughter's silhouette, although He Xiuyi did not enter the palace before, with his grandfather in fact not see a lot, but in the end is the eldest granddaughter, He Wenqiong occasionally listen to his son and daughterinlaw mentioned to He Xiuyi's character is still an understanding of the granddaughter of the broken not have the guts to join the conspiracy to kill the eldest Princess of Changxing things.The problem was that when the palace maid accused He Xiuyi of being displeased with Empress Su, in full view of everyone, instead of immediately retorting, He Xiuyi exuded a clear sense of trepidation!Now who doesn't know that she did express her displeasure with Empress Su?"This child is still too young and has experienced too little!" He Wenqiong sighed inwardly and decided to divert the blame he asked to reexamine the scented sachets made by Ms. Jiang, and questioned whether the scented s
