Song Yixiao received the news that the boat had capsized after midday. She was surprised, and naturally, she had to ask about the safety of the people on board.
The person who came to report the news was Wei Mengying’s first maid, Sitao, who had been promoted last year. She looked very anxious, “After the boat capsized, Miss Wei and Miss Lu saved Princess Consort ashore first. But where they went ashore was a long way from where the servants were. When the servants rushed over to serve them, they found that Princess Consort and the two ladies had disappeared! Even now, they have not been found!”
“As for the others, they have all been rescued and nothing serious has happened. The only problem is that we can’t find Princess Consort and the two ladies. That’s why Ms. Bo wants to borrow some people from you!”
In fact, the Prince of Hengshan was a prince after all, and his children were not few, so he had brought a lot of men to Cuihua Mounta
Emperor Xianjia’s death was very sudden, even for Empress Dowager, who had known the inside story.Earlier, the emperor told her that if he could hold out for another three years, he would definitely appoint his legitimate son as the crown prince. Empress Dowager thought that her son would have at least a year or two to live.But to her surprise, only half a year had passed and he was gone.It was like a thunderbolt from the sky to Empress Dowager. After receiving the news, she froze for a long time before she fainted on the spot with a shout!Same as her, Empress Su and Crown Prince were also unconscious after they received the news.During the summer vacation, everyone was in a more relaxed mood than in the imperial capital, even the people in palace with strict rules.Therefore, when the death knell rang, many people were unable to react properly. At such time, Empress Dowager, Empress and Crown
"You…you want me to give you a…" After being stunned, Jian Xubai laughed in the extreme anger, looked at Beautiful Lady Nuan and said in a cold voice, "When your father threatened my life in Wuhuan, I hadn't even relented to marry you. I thought you should have understood in all these years that I had no intention for you! How can you say such things today?"The favor Beautiful Lady Nuan asked Jian Xubai to do, to help her escape her fate of being sent to the temporary palace to stay until her death after the death of Emperor Xianjia, was not to plead with Empress Dowager, Empress or Crown Prince, but, to give her a child!After all, according to the current rules, a concubine without a child must be sent to the temporary palace and stay there for the rest of her life unless she was granted permission not to do so.But concubines with children, no matter what status they had or whether they were favored, could stay. If their children had
When Jian Xubai returned to Crown Prince, he deliberately asked him to dismiss his subordinates. When there were only them two, he spoke alone about Beautiful Lady Nuan.Of course, he would not say that Beautiful Lady Nuan had offered herself to him in order to avoid going to the temporary palace, but said, "Beautiful Lady Nuan stopped me on the way just now, saying that she wanted me to ask Grandmother and Aunt to allow her staying for the sake of our acquaintance during our time in Wuhuan. You know that although there is nothing between her and me, otherwise Uncle would not have accepted her into the palace. After all, there should be gender sensitization. So how can I say anything like that? It is not for me to say anything about such matters."Crown Prince had been so busy these past two days with grievance for the loss of his father that his energy was inevitably low. Hearing this, he was absent-minded and said, "This is not a big deal. It is in
Song Yixiao was stunned at her words, then said, “Mother, you don’t have to be so insensitive. Of course I understand that you’re being considerate. After all, my husband has been consoling Emperor’s grandmother these days, and I need to take care of the mansion of Duke of Yan alone. While looking after Qingyue, I still need to prepare for the coming of my aunt’s family. You are doing this because you care for me. Although I regret it, how can I blame you?”She meant what she said. After all, that was the impression Madam Lu had always given her.But what Song Yixiao had said sounded like a knife in Madam Lu’s ears and she thought to herself, “Prime Minister Gu was right! As is said, familiarity breeds fondness. Although Eldest Young Lady was raised by the Song Family until she was eight years old, she already had a grudge against the Song Family because of Madam Liu. She was later brought up by Madam Wei in Prince of Hengshan’s mansion. How could sh
They had received news on the way that Jian Xubai had been visiting the Grand Empress Dowager at the palace day after day on the orders of the Emperor Duanhua, and that the mansion of Duke of Yan was presided over only by the young Duchess. She also had a daughter under the age of one, so it was obviously not easy for her to get away.So instead of sending a letter to the mansion of Duke of Yan in advance, they went straight to the door, so that Duchess wouldn't have to take the time to pick them up.Song Yixiao was surprised when the subordinate reported. She hurriedly changed her dress and went out to welcome them, "I didn't know that my aunt and uncle, my cousins and my sister-in-law were here. So I apologize for not being able to welcome you.""I was afraid you wouldn't be able to spare your time, so I didn't tell you. We come so suddenly. You must be tired out!" Jian Limiao was right. Jian Lizhi was not difficult to get along with.
Commandery Prince Zhongling was nine years old this year. It was supposed to be a good thing that the Crown Princess was finally pregnant again.But when she found out about this baby, the Crown Prince’s birth mother, Noble Consort Cui, died of an illness. There couldn’t be any big celebrations. And she had to stay a very low profile during the entire pregnancy.This time, the birth coincided with the former emperor's funeral. She returned to the imperial capital in a hurry from Cuihua Mountain. With a bumpy journey and the sudden change of temperature, despite the imperial physicians' efforts to protect the baby, she had been resting in bed since returning to the imperial capital, except for the first three days when she wept for the former emperor’s death.So when they heard that she had given birth to a little boy, they were relieved. Everyone thought that it was joy turned from extreme sorrow.No sooner had they prepared
“Brother, you also know that my Princess Consort was born by a concubine. Before she got married, she was raised in a manor. Therefore, she doesn’t know much about manners.” Prince of Liang said a little embarrassed, "But since we are married, and now we have an eldest legitimate son, naturally, we should just live a good life. Perhaps becoming a mother has changed her temperament, she has recently become more and more considerate. Every time I think back to the past, I feel regret!”Hearing this, Emperor Duanhua thought his brother was here to make amends for his sister-in-law.The Emperor did not like the things that Princess Consort of Liang did back then.But things had passed. And the one who ascended the throne was still him after all. In addition, as the son of the former emperor, Prince of Liang only married a concubine daughter. He was also affected by the Eastern Palace.So Emperor Duanhua had long forgotten such a
Jinxun looked around. Only after the other servants had withdrawn tactfully, did she say, "Isn't that so? I didn't know about it until I got the news. But since the wife of the heir of prince was there, I couldn't remind you!""That's strange. I've never even met Lord Xie. How could this have anything to do with me?" Song Yixiao could not help but be curious, "Tell me the reason!""Have you forgotten your uncle?" Jinxun whispered, "He wanted to return to the court a few years ago. But he didn’t find the job he wanted. Several years passed, and he gave up a little. He decided to return even if he was demoted to a lower rank. This time he came back to fill the vacant position of Vice President of the Imperial Academy. He is now the Governor of Lianzhou, a lower state, and the Governor of Lianzhou is a fourth-ranking official, while Vice President of the Imperial Academy is just a vice fourth-ranking official. It is two ranks lower than the Governor of
