“After all, he is my father. Even though he doesn’t treat me well, I will be accused of being unfilial if I say I don’t miss him!” Song Yixiao thought quickly, “However, if I say yes and he just takes the opportunity to send me back to the Song Family, what shall I do?”
Now the heir selection of Prince of Hengshan was in a mess and it was no longer safe to stay in the prince’s mansion. Wei Mengying was not reliable but compared with Song Yuan, she was much better.
In particular, it was time that Song Yixiao should be engaged. If she went back to the Song Family, she might be forcefully married to Liu Zhiyin!
Even without Liu Zhiyin, in light of Madam Pang’s detestation for her, she wouldn’t be able to marry a good man. Worse still, she would probably be sold again. How could she take the risk?
Thinking of the consequence possibly incurred by an inappropriate answer, she felt so nervous. She didn’t say with a forced smile until a wh
When Song Yixiao returned to the Embroidery Compound, Yuan Xue’e just got up. Yuan Xue’e found Song Yixiao came from outside, she felt confused and asked about the latter one’s whereabouts.“Jinxun felt like hanging around outside, so I took her out for a tour around the apricot forest. Unexpectedly, when we arrived there, Duke Jian had been there. Then we came back.” Song Yixiao talked about the ins and outs of the matter lightly, leaving out the person in the pavilion. “We didn’t sit there for long. I’m quite sorry for Meiyan and Qingruo’s effort.”“No need to feel sorry for that. You’ve regarded me as an outsider.” Yuan Xue’e, quite simple and candid, didn’t doubt what Song Yixiao said. After scolding her for a bit, she changed the topic then.However, that night, after Song Yixiao went to bath, served by Jinxun, Qingruo requested permission to meet Yuan Xue’e via Meiyan, saying, “When Miss Song was in the apricot forest today, Duke Jian ord
Dowager Consort took the moral responsibility and she even took Song Yixiao was brought up by Prince of Hengshan’s mansion as her backing, thus she had a point anyway.Wei Mengying made every effort to reach her goal, but the only result she got was that her daughter should get married within this year, “Mother, you’re afraid that Yixiao may bring troubles on Kou’er and her sister, so you asked Yixiao to get married. But Mother, if Yixiao get married when she just came back from Marquis Boling’s mansion. People will doubt that there is something fishy behind this. By then, thing would be more harmful for Kou’er and her sister. If we wait until the rumor subsides, it shows that we have no guilt, am I right?”“But she can’t go to Marquis Boling’s mansion any more! From now on, she’d better stay at the Hanxia Villa all the time!” Dowager Consort took “caring about the reputation and integrity of her granddaughters” as an excuse, but, her real aim was to clear
Dowager Consort of Hengshan finished her scheme secretly, thus neither Wei Mengying nor Song Yixiao knew anything about it.So when they received the invitation of the feast for Shangsi Festival, they began to make preparations as they did in last year. Wei Mengying did things against the Dowager Consort’s will on purpose. She thought, “You said that my daughter had disgraced herself being just two days in Marquis Boling’s mansion, so you asked her to stay in the house all the time? No way!”Song Yixiao had no choice. She couldn’t and didn’t want to live in the prince’s mansion for a lifetime, especially after the Dowager Consort gave her the ultimatum! So marriage was a matter of urgency. But as a stepdaughter, her chances of being led by her mother to go out and socialize were slight.Participating in the feasts among ladies was the only method for her to remind people that there was a young lady open to marriage in Prince of Hengshan’s mansi
On the terrace, Commandery Princess Qingjiang looked Lu Kou’er and the other two ladies up and down, who were climbing upstairs. She rolled the glass cup in her palm and asked the maid next to her, “Is it the hindermost one? She looks quite familiar to me?”“Your Highness has a good memory!” The first maid, Zhenli flattered her mistress first and then said, “Miss Yuan conducted her to you last year. Back then, she presented you with a pair of sachets and you praised her for her good skills face to face!”“No wonder.” Commandery Princess Qingjiang nodded her head and narrowed her eyes, “Prince of Hengshan is virtuous and kind. Judging from her talent, appearance and temperament, I suppose she is exceptionally better than Kou’er and her sister! Obviously, she has been carefully raised.”Zhenli said smilingly, “If she is not good enough, how dare I mention her to you?”Speaking of this, Lu Kou’er and the other two girls had arrived. C
Commandery Princess Qingjiang was worried about her half-brother’s marriage on the terrace while Song Yixiao was speculating about her thought in the midst of appreciating the flowers. “It is my second time that I have met with this commandery princess. I haven’t offended her before, but why did she show favor for me just now?”Even though she didn’t know Commandery Princess Qingjiang well, she still knew that this high-born lady couldn’t leave out her two cousins and dedicated herself to discussing about needlework. Obviously, it was an intentional act!“Is it because Dowager Consort of Hengshan told her something?” She was ruminating, “But if she wants to make Lu Kou’er and her sister resent me, the Dowager Consort can directly talk to them in private. Why does she have to let Commandery Princess Qingjiang know about it? Even if Commandery Princess Qingjiang agrees not to leak it out, it is not a decent thing at all.”Then she had the same id
Jiang Muting didn’t know that her wish of becoming the Princess Consort of Wei would fail, so she was totally fine with the current feast and even had a sense of superiority while facing the other beautiful girls.After socializing for a round, she found time to show care for Song Yixiao, “The sweet osmanthus cake tastes refreshing, but now is not summer yet and it is windy in the mountain. You had better eat less for the sake of your health.”Song Yixiao wanted to say okay when a maid suddenly came from behind. After looking around for an instant, she walked to the front of Jiang Muting and bent over to report, “Miss Jiang, something is wrong with the cottages. Would you like to go over and have a look?”Jiang Muting was surprised and recognized the clothes of the maid. The maid was from the Zhanchun Venue. Jiang Muting couldn’t help asking, “What’s wrong?”The cottages that the maid mentioned were on the both sides of the mountai
The place where Cui Jianlian fell was not far away from the square for the feast. Her maid screamed so loudly that her voice even exceeded the music of the feast and disturbed Commandery Princess Qingjiang, “What’s wrong? Go to have a look!”After a while, the servant reported the ins and outs of the matter while wiping the sweat. Commandery Princess Qingjiang instantly frowned. Lu Kou’er and her sister decided to make Cui Jianlian plot against Song Yixiao, which had been known and tacitly approved by her.However... Jiang Muting? Why was she dragged into this? Especially the trouble was coming at Jiang Muting instead of Song Yixiao?Noticing that the matter was out of her control, Commandery Princess Qingjiang felt extremely angry and said to Commandery Princess Nanzhang who leaned forward to fish for information, “I’ll check it out. Keep your eye here for me!”Commandery Princess Nanzhang nodded her head smilingly, “Roumei, rest
Song Yixiao knew about Baoying’s plan and felt furious in her heart. But she looked calm and said, “To bear the blame for her means to admit my guilt. It’s the worst solutions to be led by the nose! Baoying, although you protect your lady loyally, you are not smart enough!”“Miss Song, do you mean that you can prove us innocent and make others have no chance to spread rumors?” Baoying wasn’t angry after hearing that. She raised her eyebrows and questioned, “I’m dumb. Miss Song, please show your mercy to teach me.”How demanding she was! She didn’t only want to prove them innocent, but also asked her to control rumors. Even imperial edicts couldn’t completely stop people gossiping!Song Yixiao snickered, “Baoying, you’d better know one thing. Although I owe the Jiang Family favors, I won’t repay them by putting my future on the line!”She didn’t have any support. But she did have backbone. Baoying wanted to bring her to terms due to
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
