“Do you think that Yourui doesn’t like Mr. Helou but she can’t resist the pressure from Mother, so she has to come to our mansion and meet with him?” That evening, when the couple entered the inner room, Song Yixiao sat in front of the dressing table, taking off her hairpins and rings in front of the bronze mirror, while saying, “I heard the maids say that in the garden of our mansion, while Mr. Helou was very attentive, Yourui kept ignoring him, very reluctantly.”
Jian Xubai smiled and said, “You think she was ignoring him, but Helou thought that was the kind of reserve a proper lady should have! He just told me today that Yourui was so immaculate that she was not like any other woman. He obviously likes Yourui’s cold attitude. Besides, you probably don’t know that although Yourui is kind to us, she’s always aloof and polite to outsiders. Helou is not our family member yet, right?”
“A girl should behave in a cold and reserved manner when she meets w
Hearing this, Pei Yourui smiled a little embarrassedly and said, “This is unconscionable but I have to admit. You must also know it. On Ping’an’s last birthday, I met Grand Princess Changxing in the eldest sister’s mansion. Grand Princess Changxing even made an apology to me at that time!”She showed an embarrassed and ashamed expression, “Of course I didn’t dare accept it at that time. You all know what has happened before, so I won’t say more about that. Therefore, when I saw she didn’t live a happy life with Prince Consort, it would be impossible that I didn’t feel gloating at all in my heart!”Saying this, she stood up and bowed deeply to Great Grand Princess Jinguo, “Mother, I am indebted to you. But I became gloating when Grand Princess Changxing didn’t get along well with her husband. I really don’t deserve your great kindness!”“This is also a common feeling. It is also the two of them who have wronged you. How could I blame you?
“Lady of Yan!” During her pregnancy, Dowager Concubine Nuan had put on some weight, but she still looked radiant due to her stunning beauty and her delicate age.Having changed from Beautiful Lady Nuan to Dowager Concubine Nuan, there was little timidity on her look. Instead, there was a calmness like stagnant water. At this moment, holding the subordinate’s hand, she nodded slightly towards Song Yixiao and Xie Yiren with a slight reserve, “Wife of Earl Yiping’s son. What a coincidence. It’s still early. I wonder why everyone is leaving. Is there a story inside?”“How could there be any stories inside?” Song Yixiao and Xie Yiren found that she was dressed in a homely way. It was not like she was here for the banquet. But considering that Dowager Concubine Nuan was pregnant with Emperor Xianjia’s son, it was not surprising that she was dressed simply.But…even without Grand Empress Dowager and Empress Dowager Su reminiscing about Emperor
Song Yixiao hesitated for a while, but finally decided to go and see for herself how Lu Chai’er had been possessed by a demon. When she arrived at the courtyard where Lu Chai’er and her husband lived, Madam Deng said in a soft voice outside, “Chai’er, Lady of Yan is here to see you!”Inside, Lu Chai’er screamed hysterically, accompanied by the sound of pounding things, which made everyone’s face change. Her husband, Gu Tongyu, really valued his wife and immediately came out to make Song Yixiao leave, “My wife is sick, so it is inconvenient for her to meet you. Lady of Yan, please go to the back hall, in case you will be disturbed here!”In this case, Song Yixiao had no choice but to leave.When she left, Madam Deng personally saw her off. By her words, Madam Deng asked Song Yixiao if she could talk to Wei Mengying and ask her to come and visit Lu Chai’er.Madam Deng didn’t believe that Wei Mengying would plot against Lu Chai
When she returned to the mansion, she told her husband the whole story when he returned from the court and said, “I guess what our grandmother means is that the Shen Family and the Liu Family have talent, but history says that Six Warlords were too prominent when they were in their prime and would be frowned upon by the royal family. Therefore, if we befriend them, we can certainly draw on each other for support, but we will also attract suspicion?”“Now that the Imperial examinations are on the rise, how can it be that easy for Six Warlords to revive their fortunes?” Jian Xubai said casually, “In the past, when the Nine-grade System was popular, there were no poor families at the top and no scholar clans at the bottom. Nowadays, no matter where you come from, you will win on the basis of your writings. Those who enter the court like me are already exceptional. Even if the Shen Family of West Liang Region and the Liu Family of East Hu Region are going to enter th
But Song Yixiao had no idea of Wei Mengying’s true feelings behind the seemingly casual conversation between the mother and the daughter today.After she returned to the mansion of Duke of Yan, she changed into her usual clothes and was about to order someone to bring her daughter over, when the subordinate reported that the accounts and things had been sent from the manors, asking if she would like to go and check immediately.After the servant finished reporting the business, he looked a bit odd and said, “Fan Zhong’s wife also comes with him, saying that she is here to greet you!”“Cuipiao is also here?” Song Yixiao was slightly surprised. After Cuipiao had got married two years ago, she had not come since she met Yu Shiheng when she came back to the mansion to show her gratitude. Perhaps because she had been stimulated. Fan Zhong was the only one who came over for anything in the manor. When Song Yixiao heard that Cuipiao had given b
Song Yixiao was surprised and said, “I wonder what Your Majesty’s orders are?”When she asked this question, she just thought that there were kids of the Wei Family or the Wei Family’s relatives who were planning to take the exam next year and that Empress Wei wanted to ask Jian Limiao to go easy on them. Empress Wei mentioned Emperor Duanhua, so most likely this matter had already been reported before Emperor Duanhua.But Empress Wei said, “Dowager Consort Jiang has been sick in bed recently. I went to visit her, but she just said it was because she was mourning for the former emperor. However, Dowager Consort Jiang’s subordinates revealed that she was very worried about Grand Princess Yushan’s marriage. Now that she has fallen ill, I’m afraid it is more or less related to this matter!”It was no wonder that Dowager Consort Jiang was worried. Grand Princess Yushan was Emperor Xianjia’s youngest daughter, but she was the same age as Gran
The following day, the two of them went to the Wei Family’s mansion with Jian Qingyue to celebrate the New Year. The entire Wei Family was overjoyed. All the members came out to welcome them.It took Song Yixiao much time to finish up with Elder Lady Cao and other elders. Then she finally got a chance to talk to Wei Chan alone in her room.“Why have you lost so much weight these days?” She was already suspicious before she came here. When Song Yixiao met Wei Chan, she almost exclaimed. Wei Chan, who was preparing for her marriage, had somehow become so sick and bony that she didn’t look like a new bride who should be overflowing with joy and shyness. If Song Yixiao didn’t know it, she would have thought Wei Chan was a terminally ill patient who was waiting for death!Was there really something wrong with the lake?But why was she safe and sound after having seen Princess Consort of Yi’s floating corpse, while Wei Mengying an
Madam Mu spent great efforts making Wei Chan calm down. But Lu Chai’er in the Gu Family didn’t have a mother comforting her, who knew the whole story well. So, after struggling for half a year, she had really gone mad!Madam Deng sighed and sent the doctor away. She returned to the hall, seeing Gu Tongyu seated with a sad face. She also felt very uncomfortable, “Let’s just send someone to ask around to see if there are any people who can exorcise evil spirits.”“Thank you for worrying about that, Mother.” Gu Tongyu said in a mute voice, “But I want to go and visit my mother-in-law to figure out what has happened!”“Princess Consort Wei is still in mourning. And you are a man. So you may not be able to see her even if you go there.” When Madam Deng told Song Yixiao that she didn’t believe Wei Mengying had harmed Lu Chai’er, she meant it.But these days, Lu Chai’er was becoming more and more fearful and was spilling out some s
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
