Chapter 252 Song Xiyue

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.

Chapter 253 The Revealing of Her Intentions

Wei Shengxian then had lunch at the Jintong Courtyard. In the afternoon, she returned home with mixed feelings and dismissed everyone except for her two daughters. She spoke to them privately, "Your cousin suggested that it would be better not to marry into the Deng Family. I think she has a point now she has explained it to me."Song Xiyue blushed, saying, "I'll leave it all to you to decide, mother." She didn't ask the reason.Wei Shengxian was satisfied with her daughters' politeness and understanding, so she explained it to them, "Your cousin said that Deng Zongqi is a very good person. However, his parents have passed away and he is protected by the Honored Consort, so it is inevitable that the Honored Consort might become his burden in the future." She then spoke about the feud between the Empress and the Honored Consort and the current situation in the palace, sighing, "Honestly, when your cousin just started to speak of it, I felt that I shouldn't m

Chapter 254 The Scheming Honored Consort

"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

There were only a few girls but many boys, so naturally girls were much more precious.The lineal oldest daughter, Shen Cangxiu, had married Shen Jia, who was the third son of the Emperor and was crowned Prince Ji, and she had gone to their fiefdom with Prince Ji only a month after the wedding. The Emperor didn't like Prince Ji that

Chapter 256 Liu Sihuai

"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

But it was too late.It was just getting dark when Mrs. Huang came back, looking grim and saying, "When I arrived at the First Madam's house, the First Madam had just got the news that the Liu Family had made a marriage proposal and was about to send someone over to the Second Madam's house to know more about the sixteenth young master of the Liu Family. Having heard what I said, the First Madam immediately burst into tears, saying... it might be too late!"Wei Changying was shocked, saying, "How come? It's only been a few days. Have they already had their fortunes read? How is this possible?!""The Liu Family hasn't given them the bride price, but they did send a letter to ask for her full name and her birth horoscope yesterday." Mrs. Huang sighed and said."Since they only got to that stage, it's not impossi

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.

Chapter 259 Appendicitis

When the New Year's Eve banquet had finished, Madam Su got hold of Wei Changying and asked why Princess Anji had sat at her side during the banquet.Wei Changying didn't know whether it was right or wrong to tell Princess Anji about Huo Zhaoyu. Since there were other people around, she was worried that others might overhear them and she would make enemies if she said it. She said vaguely, "Princess Anji and I only made a small talk."Madam Su didn't believe her at all. She was a First Rank Madam who would certainly go to the palace during festivals and who usually visited Weiyang Palace. Princes were not people whose lives she could pry into, so in order not to upset anyone, she wasn't nosy. All she knew of them were things everyone knew, but in terms of princesses and infantas, she knew them well.Only Princess Linchuan among all the three unmarried princesses in the palace could possibly speak to the imperial madams at the New Year's E

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
