The terrible look of Cuipiao was so obvious when she left that Jinxun, who was always a simple girl, could easily read her mind.
So when she returned to the hall to report to Song Yixiao, she specially mentioned about the details, “Everything went well at that time. It’s all Yu Shiheng’s fault. He happened to come back when they were leaving! And he happened to greet me, although I replied him coldly. However, Cuipiao’s face went dark. I wonder if Fan Zhong has noticed it.”
“Whatever.” Song Yixiao felt disappointed after she heard the words. She continued with flagging interest, “Everyone needs to operate his own life. If Cuipiao can’t understand this truth, no matter how much I worry about her, it will be in vain!”
Speaking of this, she thought of something, then asked, “Why did Yu Shiheng greet you?”
“I was talking with Cuipiao at that time and he happened to ride home, so he greeted me,” said Jinxun casually, “After all, I’m you
Jian Xubai soon came over with Jinxun. When he entered the room, Song Yixiao winked at the maids to leave. With that, she handed the box to Jian Xubai, whispering, “This is what Xu Ming left just now. He said it’s a part of the Dowager Consort’s dowry.”“Why did he give you this?” Jian Xubai knew the whole story well. In order to cover the fact he knew what his mother-in-law did, he pretended to be surprised, “Does he have any requests?”“I think so too!” Just as Song Yixiao was worrying about how to convince him, his words gave her an inspiration. She made use of the opportunity and said, “He said the Dowager Consort took me as her granddaughter when she was alive. And the Dowager Consort said herself that after she died, I can share her dowry, because of which, Prince of Hengshan ordered him to send it to me. But you know, although the Dowager Consort was not hard on me, she was neither close to me. How could she have such words in this condition? So, I w
After receiving the messages, Yuan Xuepei thought for a long time, and decided to arrange his marriage to dash Jiang Muting’s hopes. He couldn’t let the girl waste her youth like this.However, he had to manage Yuan Mao and Zhiqin’s marriage first. Yuan Mao was the guard he recommended to Song Yixiao before.After all, this marriage determined whether he could write off all the old scores with Song Yixiao. He couldn’t treat it as a common servant’s marriage. There was no hostess in Marquis Boling’s mansion, and Elder Lady Tu, was a mere figurehead now. He had no other choice but to arrange it in person.Unexpectedly, just as he drew up a schedule for all the matters of the marriage, Song Yixiao suddenly made a request, “After Zhiqin marries Yuan Mao, I hope you will make them serve Xue’e.”“Why?” Yuan Xuepei couldn’t help being surprised.There were only two of them in the room at the moment, so Song Yixiao didn’t hesi
The frosty relationship between Jinguo Grand Princess and her husband was not a secret in the imperial circle.Otherwise, how dare Mr. Qiao and Ji Mingfei thumbed their noses at Jian Likuang, the Prince Consort?In the past, Jinguo Grand Princess did not like Jian Likuang, but she still cared about his feelings in public for the sake of Jian Yiyou and Jian Xubai.This time the Prince Consort was completely humiliated on his birthday. If it wasn’t for the fact that Jinguo Grand Princess was nearly fifty years old, the officials in the imperial court would think that she wanted to change her husband again.Anyway, Jian Likuang was already disgraced.He was the legitimate son of the original wife of Jian Pingyu, Elder Duke of Yan. Although his mother, Elder Lady of Yan Madam Duanmu died young, his stepmother, Madam Wen, who came from a humble family treated him as her own child and loved him very much because she never ex
Jinguo Grand Princess was scolding her son now. She did not know that when Empress Su received the news in the temporary palace, she looked quite indifferent, “In the early days, Changxing took away other’s lover by force, so not only the outside world was talking about her, Jinguo also felt very dissatisfied with her. Pei Yourui grew up under the eyes of Jinguo, so even if Changxing was her niece, Jinguo was indignant at the injustice done to Pei Yourui. Now Changxing has paid for her insolence for several times, and it may not be a bad thing. In the future, Jinguo will treat her better!”Her trusted maid was worried about Princess Changxing, “It’s just that Her Highness suffers injustice.”“It’s better to suffer injustice at present than to suffer injustice forever in the future!” When Empress Su heard the speech, her eyes showed a flash of distress. But soon her expression hardened and she said in a deep voice, “In the past, when Noble Consort Shentu and
The next day when Jinguo Grand Princess arrived at the temporary palace, Empress Su said first before she could mention this matter, “Jinguo, you’ve come just at the right moment. I want to ask for your advice!”Without giving Jinguo Grand Princess the chance to speak, she sent her subordinates to take some portraits, “Prince of Zhao has grown up. It’s time to discuss his marriage. These days I’ve been looking for girls from several families for him, but I cannot make a choice, so I haven’t told him yet. Can you give me some advice? “Hearing this, Jinguo Grand Princess was noncommittal. She only took these portraits and looked at them one by one. The girls in the portraits are either pretty, childish but graceful, or cherubic. The names and official positions of their fathers and brothers were written at the bottom of their portraits. In terms of appearance and family background, they were indeed the perfect candidates for the Princess Consort. Obviously,
Song Yixiao instantly invited her into the room and ordered her maids to withdraw after serving tea. Then she told her the whole story, “I don’t want to hide the truth. My mother-in-law intended to marry off Yourui to Helou Xiuzhuan (Helou Duhan) in the past. However, it is less than a year after Grand Secretariat Pei passed away. Yourui is so broken-hearted that she doesn’t want to talk about her marriage. Hence, Xubai and I have been in contact with Helou Xiuzhuan several times and know his temperament. He may not be to Princess Yushan’s liking. We want to tell the Virtuous Consort about this originally. The problem is that we don’t have much contact with her, so it will be brusque for us to say this hastily. That’s why I decide to write to you.”Jiang Muting pondered, “In this way, not only Yushan keeps thinking about Su Shaoge, but Helou Xiuzhuan doesn’t like Yushan either.”Of course, she understood that the so-called “not be to Princess Yushan’s likin
The next day, as expected, Qiu Shuxia denounced the Crown Prince openly, saying that “He is nepotistic, mediocre and incompetent, and can’t even control over his bodyguard. How can we entrust the state to him?” The faction of the Eastern Palace, who were worried about the Crown Prince’s injury, had not yet considered how to rebut him when Emperor Xianjia, who hadn’t shown up for a long time, once again stepped forward to help the Crown Prince circuitously!He first summoned Prince of Wei and Prince of Zhao to the palace and scolded them for a few trivial things. Then he announced that they would be fined their official salary for half a year!For Prince of Wei and Prince of Zhao, it’s nothing to lose their salary for half a year. After all, neither of them was short of money. It didn’t matter if they were fined for half a year or ten years.However, the attitude of the emperor towards this matter made people who supported their fight for the th
“His Majesty is putting me in a dilemma!” A candle on the top of the gilded candlestick glowed suddenly like a flower. According to local folklore it was an auspicious omen. Gu Shao, who was holding a Go stone in the light, did not wear a joyful expression. On the contrary, he showed a bitter smile, “It is obvious that the Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Revenue are of great importance for the fight of the throne. Now two of them are under the command of the Crown Prince, and the Ministry of Revenue also begins to fall into the hands of him. In fact, Jin Suke in the Ministry of Personnel chose to turn to the Crown Prince because he failed to teach his children in a proper way and thus was caught out!”“What’s more, what his children have done has been spread out partly before, so it cannot be seen as a vulnerable point!”“Even though Jin Suke is still working for the Crown Prince, he may not be loyal to him if the Crown Prince
