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
As Commandery Princess Qingjiang heard Prince of Zhao explaining the ins and outs, she twitched the corner of her mouth and said, “However, I brought Wuying and Yixiao here yesterday, intending to live in Buyue Villa for a few days.”“Cousin Shaoge asks nothing but quietness. Cousin Qingjiang, since your Zhanchun Venue is so large and vast, you can just lend a room of modest size to him and his book boy.” Prince of Zhao said unreservedly, “He doesn’t necessarily have to live nearby the hot spring. In that case, he won’t defame your reputations, right?”“Sure!” Commandery Princess Qingjiang sighed with relief in secret. Although one of her junior brothers had married Prince of Zhao’s half-sister and another one of her brothers had made his position clear and stood by the side of Prince Crown early, she took after her mother, Jinguo Grand Princess, and didn’t get involved in the political issues.So since she had allowed the Yuan Siblings to enj
