Until at night, Song Yixiao noticed that her husband appeared laden with anxiety and then asked in confusion, “Who is Elder Lady Duanmu? Don’t you like to meet her?”
Jian Xubai shook his head with a complex look, saying briefly, “She is the elder sister of my legitimate grandma. I have never met her before!”
“How strange! Since they haven’t met before, why does he feel so annoyed?” Reminded by him, Song Yixiao recalled that when she prayed at the ancestors after getting married, she saw the memorial tablet of the Elder Madam of Yan. Her maiden name was Duanmu indeed.
Yet, this grandma was dead for too long, who was not brought up by anyone. It was only a few months since she was married to Jian Xubai. Thus, she hadn’t known all the relatives of the Jian Family and couldn’t think of this deceased grandma quickly.
At the moment, she was rather confused. Then she just leaned against her husband’s shoulders and asked curiously, “Then s
Cuipiao knew that her following answer would directly decide whether Song Yixiao would truly accept her repentance. She took a deep breath and clenched her fists, saying, “I’m no longer young and have made serious mistakes before. Now I’m only hoping that Your Highness can mercifully let me have someone to count on for the rest of my life!”Her request was euphemistic but she had expressed clearly that she wanted to get married. Cuipiao blushed and lowered her head with embarrassment because she just uttered her wish of getting married in public and realized that her dream could never come true.“I have served His Highness for a long time. Although he was away from the imperial capital for six years, after he was back, Her Majesty the Empress Dowager sent me back to Duke of Yan’s mansion!” When she recollected the past, Cuipiao’s clenched hands slightly trembled and her feelings were complicated beyond description. “As a trustworthy maid, I should have beco
When Song Yixiao was about to get married, the first young mistress of Prince of Hengshan’s mansion, Madam Kong helped mediate the matter, so the Song Family insisted that her life was incompatible with Madam Pang, for which they shouldn’t meet again. Consequently, when it came to the worldly practices of the Song Family, she only sent gifts to them without her presence, which saved quite some trouble for her.Nevertheless, for the first Spring Festival, even though she shouldn’t meet with Madam Pang, she had to give a kowtow before the Song Family’s mansion with Jian Xubai.“But I really don’t want to go!” Song Yixiao heaved a sigh quietly. She still remembered what she went through when she sent her stepmother and half-sister back home. It was reluctantly tolerable for her to be disgraced by her father alone, but if it happened in front of her husband, how could she stand it?Although Jian Xubai had known that Song Yuan disliked her, it didn’
Wei Mengying answered her daughter with certainty, “The Prince even showed me the memorial to the throne regarding the heir entitlement. How can it not be true?”Again she added, “He will submit it after the court is open again.”“Then what about you and Guanyun?” Wei Mengying didn’t have to lie about this, but Song Yixiao still smelt a rat. In her eyes, her mother was not easy to deal with!She pondered and ventured a question, “May I ask whether His Highness has made any arrangement?”“Guanyun can only rely on himself and see whether he can pass the imperial exam!” Wei Mengying glanced at her and said, “As for me, don’t you always think that Lu Guanlun is a kind and honest man? I am his stepmother. Isn’t it reasonable that I hope him to take care of me when I am old?”Song Yixiao hastened to reply, “That’s not what I mean. I do feel that Lu Guanlun is kind and honest, but you are my birth mother! I just feel that the
It was a custom to pay a New Year’s call to seniors in the first lunar month. Regardless of the resentment for this distant uncle, a visit to him was unavoidable. However, before going to the Qiu Family’s mansion, Jian Xubai and Song Yixiao had to deal with the Qianqiu Festival first.Empress Su was from an influential family, but she practiced frugality. Besides, her birthday happened to be the most leisure and yet busiest time in a year. Therefore, she never agreed to celebrate for it in a high-profile manner. Instead, she only set up a small feast of several tables in the Palace of Weiyang.Although not many guests were invited, it was not peaceful anyway. Soon after the feast started, Daiguo Grand Princess kept mentioning that Prince of Zhao would work in court after the Spring Festival. “Your Majesty, why don’t you ask Prince of Wei to help share your burden? His pedigree is not as noble as that of Prince of Zhao, but he is older anyway. Besides, he is
That a princess of Wuhuan was sent into the imperial palace of the Great Rui was heard by Song Yixiao in the present life and her previous life. However, she didn’t know what the princess went through afterwards.If it were not for Jian Xubai, she wouldn’t have known that Lady Nuan, who was unknown in the palace, used to be Princess Feinuan of Wuhuan.“He sounds like being pitiful for Lady Nuan?” Song Yixiao didn’t care that Lady Nuan had been a princess of Wuhuan before, but when Jian Xubai talked of her, his facial expression seemed really weird, “He was held as hostage in Wuhuan for several years. Maybe he was not insulted there given his identity. And it was the Su Family who made him captured. By reason, he should have held grudge against Wuhuan.”Under this circumstance, Jian Xubai still showed sympathy for the daughter of the king of Wuhuan. How could his wife not think much?Nonetheless, it was improper to get him to talk,
After hearing her daughter’s suggestion, Jinguo Grand Princess looked displeased. And not until a long time later did she reply, “Elder Lady Duanmu will be in the imperial capital soon after the Spring Festival and your Uncle Limiao is now in a state of nervousness. It’s not a good idea to bother him during this period, is it?”Song Yixiao heard the clear resistance and even some hidden scruples in her mother-in-law’s voice, feeling shocked. When she was still confused, she heard the explanation of her sister-in-law, “You’ve watched Yourui grow up from childhood, so how could she not understand that you invite her to the imperial capital is to sincerely help her? That she is unwilling to be here is most probably feeling embarrassed. So no matter what we do, I’m afraid she will still be in a dilemma!”“But your uncle Limiao is from the Jian Family, too!” Jinguo Grand Princess frowned, “Can Yourui accept his invitation while refuses mine?”Findin
Song Yixiao didn’t beat around the bush with him, either, “I asked my mother that day, but she just said that since my brother had no hope of becoming the heir of the prince, she would like to find a daughter-in-law who can get along with her!”Yuan Xuepei thought, “Get along with her? It’s because my sister is easy to bully, ok?”But he was asking for information from Wei Mengying’s own daughter, so naturally he couldn’t say anything wrong about Wei Mengying in front of her.Pondering for a while, he finally said, “Lu Guanlun was engaged to your cousin, the Seventh Miss Wei earlier, but he broke off the engagement shortly afterwards. During that time, the Seventh Miss Wei seemed to have been staying at the Duke of Yan’s mansion for a few days. In my opinion, you know the inside story of their broken engagement, right?”Song Yixiao closed her lips slightly for a while before she replied, “I can’t tell you about this!”
You Qingchun said after hearing that, “Madam, I am so grateful for your taking me in, and I feel unworthy of the simple errand you arranged. Therefore, when I had time, I thought of giving a hand. But unexpectedly, I neglected my son, which offended His Highness. Please forgive me!”Song Yixiao said, “That’s your fault, Qingchun! There are only two masters in this house nowadays, and how much work is there? Since there are already people on duty everywhere, what will they do if you do their work? Did I buy them to watch you work?”“Madam, it’s all my fault!” Ms. Zhao was already ashamed when she heard this, mumbling, “I didn’t teach her clearly to follow the rules…”“Anyway, from now on, you just do your share of the errand and don’t do other things!” Song Yixiao waved her hand, signaling to Ms. Zhao to be quiet, and said to You Qingchun, “If they are really too busy, told me, and I’ll buy other servants to share the burden. You have only one c
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
