All Chapters of Reborn Lady: Unparalleled Daughter of Concubine: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

Flower Fairy Festival was a feast for flower enjoyment but held in the twelfth month of the lunar year. There were no flowers in winter, so the festival was actually held to enjoy fake flowers—made of tissues and silks by maidens. Those ingenious maidens whose fake flowers were the most vivid and shining would be the queen in this competition.Besides, there were also other activities, such as random draws of flowers and poetry singing. The winner would gain plentiful rewards from the empress. Even just a visit to the imperial palace and a look at the emperor and empress were aspirational dreams for many girls.Nanny Liao was waiting for service outside the palace together with the maidservants. Qin Yunuan, followed by Qin Yunzhuang, with her crescent color flower sachet hanging on her waist, was walking on the palace path made of black bricks, together with two dozen maidservants. Those maidens were gossiping. To many of them, it was their first time to vi

The imperial physician and eunuchs had just left, before a loud voice of a young eunuch arose from red plum blossoms. "Here comes Her Majesty!"The maidens in the garden all knelt down at once, saluting respectfully, "Welcome, Your Majesty!""Well, get up." A graceful and drawling voice went through the red plums, revealing a sense of grandeur of controlling the overall situation.Qin Yunuan got up together with other noble women, when she heard the Empress asking their feelings about entering the Imperial Palace and sending her regards to the family of several famous or high-ranking noble women.Her tone was gentle during the whole process, and it was so smooth that no mistakes could be found in her wording and order of greetings. Qin Yunuan waited aside quietly, thinking to herself that Empress Chen had covered all sides as beautifully as she always did. She was a smooth winner on the surface and a ruthless ruler underneath.

Flower Draw was a popular game among the ladies. First, two bamboo tubes were prepared. One was filled with the bamboo sticks with the ladies' names on while the other was with bamboo sticks with different performance items on.　　First, the Empress would draw the name stick, and the girl who was drawn shall come forward and draw the performance stick. Whichever stick was drawn, the girl should perform according to the item written on the stick, and it couldn't be rejected.　　This was a great chance for the ladies to show their talents. Even though General Leng had left, Prince Ray was still present. If they could perform well to leave a refreshing impression to Prince Ray, that would be a great honor.　　Every time when it came to this game, Qin Yuzhuang was the proudest of herself. She learnt poems, calligraphy, paintings, music, and all other skills from the best teachers. She mastered all of them so that no matter which stick she drew, she co

Just at the moment Qin Yunuan left the table, a black shadow flashed away and disappeared in the cold windy winter like a strong wind.Few people crowded in the east of the plum garden.Qin Yunuan was watching the pond where there was a block of thin ice on the surface of the pond. The bridge in distance was like a rainbow reaching the Feihua Waterside Pavilion. There was an artificial high platform aside from the pavilion, which was like an ancient tree. After a while, the champion girl in the feast would replace the empress to hang her flower on the high flower so as to express the appreciation of God and pray the peace and prosperity of the country.　　The reason why Qin Yunuan left the table was that she was a little bit drunk and, for more important, she should produce the evidence of her absence. Because she knew that something must happen just after a while.In her last life, Qin Yunzhuang gained the champion in the feast without an

It was an open secret that Rhizoma Curculiginis was an aphrodisiac. But anyway, framing a maiden in such a sordid way was quite shameful."Well, that's easy," Imperial Concubine Yun ogled and said, "Can't we just find out the one who carries Rhizoma Curculiginis?""Not necessarily," Empress Chen said solemnly. "The medicine may not be taken along with after it took effect.""Well then, it's still easy," Imperial Concubine Yun raised her eyebrows and smiled, "Make a body search of everyone's belongings. We'll surely find it."That sounded easy. But Empress Chen was not sure about it. The guests present all came from noble families that were politically powerful in the capital. Such an abrupt search might give rise to political unrest. As she was still speculating, a slow voice arose from the girls. "Actually, it doesn't have to be so complicated," said Qin Yunuan.Seeing that it was Qin Yunuan who was talking, Empress C
