Although going to the palace for banquets was an ordinary event for the Shen Family, it was not like the wedding banquets of their friends or colleagues. It was troublesome that they had to wear complicated clothes and accessories, not to mention that they had to be cautious about their behavior towards the noble people in the palace. This was why Madam Su wanted to ask for a dispensation, allowing Wei Changying not to have to go to the palace.Madam Su and her entourage returned home that evening. Almost everyone was exhausted and fell asleep after a simple clean-up, so Wei Changying didn't go to them.The next day, Wei Changying had someone hold her and walked slowly to the main room to pay respects. After a night of rest, Madam Su, who still looked a bit haggard, scolded her upon seeing her, "Didn't I tell you to stay in the courtyard? Why did you come out again?"Wei Changying smiled, saying, "Miracle Doctor Ji said that I can walk around.

"This is such a good opportunity that this b*tch, Empress Gu, will not let it go!" At about the same time, Honored Consort Deng held a precious pure breed black Chausie with four white paws, sitting in a small pavilion in the rock garden of the Mingguang Palace and leisurely saying.Because of the Crown Prince's wedding, she had especially had her nails done two days before. The bright color was still very shiny after a day, still intensely red like the blood that had just flowed out and hadn’t dried yet. Her carefully treated and delicate fair-skinned hand ran over the shiny coat of the cat. The red, white, and black were added together, presenting an indescribable eeriness. The Chausie felt so content that it kept purring and rubbing its fluffy face against Honored Consort Deng's hand, showing its affection.Yao Tao was allowed to be seated on the right, paying no attention to the cat, but the Honored Consort's words drew her complete attention. She asked

"Actually, whether the children are born by concubines or by our second sister-in-law, they will still call her 'mother'. Our second sister-in-law has no sons. If one of these four concubines does give birth to a son, won't she still be the one who will raise the child? As the saying goes: The person who brought you up is greatly more important than the one who merely gave birth to you. So, the child would be almost like her own child after her years of nurture." In the afternoon, the warm sunshine of the winter sun shone on the soft bed through the window. Wei Changying and Mrs. Liu sat at the table on which a chessboard was placed. They held different chess pieces respectively, playing leisurely.Mrs. Liu was playing white. While playing, she was talking to Wei Changying, who was required not to leave the courtyard, "When our second sister-in-law returned to her courtyard that day, she cried behind closed doors. A couple of days later, Mother happened to hear about it

Since the Empress had personally approved the marriage, Song Xiyue and Liu Xixun had to marry each other.At this point, Wei Changying didn't dare to say anything bad. Instead, together with Wei Zhengyin, she tried to persuade Wei Shengxian to calm down, saying that maybe things wouldn't be as bad as they had thought. Song Xiyue was Wei Huan's granddaughter. So if the Liu Family wanted to get rid of her because of Liu Xixun, they would have to think carefully.Wei Shengxian was saying "Sure". But this was about her daughter, how could she truly stay calm? Even if the Liu Family didn't kill Song Xiyue but after she got married, since her husband's family hated her, would she ever have a peaceful life?Thinking of this fate, she was depressed, making her more vulnerable to diseases. Two days later, after she had returned to her place, someone had made her furious. The second madam of the Wei Family, Mrs. Duanmu, who had been at odds with h

On the second day of the lunar New Year, all the families in the capital were celebrating the New Year, but things were quiet for the Wei Family.There were traces of the festivities in the mourning hall, which had been hurriedly prepared. The bright festive red and green together with the white flowers and paper money looked very sorrowful.It was the day when married daughters returned to their old homes. Wei Changying was carefully supported and brought into the mourning hall. She saw Wei Changwan kneeling by the coffin, holding Wei Changjuan with one arm and crying with the other hand on the coffin.She was dressed in rough unhemmed sackcloth. Apparently, she was wearing the "Zhan Cui" mourning apparel from the 'Wufu' system (“Wu” means “five” in Chinese character; five kinds of mourning dresses which showed the sadness of the mourners), which showed the deepest sadness. According to the Great Vi's funeral ceremonies, unmarried women
