“What do you want to say?” Yun Fenghuang tried to free herself several times but failed. Instead, she felt that his thumb gently rubbed her wrist. She was furious, and slapped him again with the other hand. She sneered, “Are you gonna tell me that you want me to forgive you because the curse came true and therefore you have no offspring? Or that Chao Jingyou didn’t vent all her aggrievance on me when she came to Xie’s Family before, so she wants you here to revenge for her?!”
Qi Jiulu wanted to dodge this time, but stopped suddenly, because he softened for seeing her anger. He took the slap again and then frowned, “Chao Jingyou has gone to Xie’s Family to embarrass you?”
He was indifferent when mentioning his newly-wedded wife, showing no affection. Noticing that, Yun Fenghuang sneered secretly. She said coldly, “It has never been a secret that she was jealous of me, so how could she miss the opportunity to laugh at me?! You don’t pretend to be muddled!”
Gongxiang Xiao froze for a moment and then recovered, saying, “No.”They came to meet Yun Fenghuang for plotting major events, not for drinking tea or having snacks. How could they bring water?!“Don’t you change the topic!” As Qi Jiulu was about to say something, Yun Fenghuang was impatient, “Go on!”“... Chao’s Family has contacted someone at Dijing City.” Seeing her urge, Qi Jiulu sighed and said, “The elders were worried that once the person they rely on succeeds, Chao’s Family would be the leader in the north. Therefore, I proposed to come to Dijing City, and they agreed after a discussion.”Yun Fenghuang sneered and said, “How could those old guys be convinced easily? I’m afraid that they would soon cultivate your brother after you left. Am I right?”Qi Jiulu said calmly, “Before I left, my father had brought Jiuzhang around.”Qi Jiuzhang was one of the younger half-brothers of Qi Jiulu, who was in b
As soon as Gongxiang Xiao walked away, Yun Fenghuang quickly withdrew her hand, and pushed Qi Jiulu away. With a disgusted face, she took a handkerchief from her sleeve to wipe her fingertips, sneering, “Is Chao Jingyou very complacent? She always pretended to be good and liked to stay with you since childhood. Now, she finally becomes your legitimate wife. Congratulations!”“You always let me disregard her since childhood. When did I not listen to you?” Qi Jiulu tidied up the collar of his cloth, slowly stepped forward to hug her and then kissed her, “You are really cruel. In front of Shizi, you slapped me that hard. I almost...”Yun Fenghuang glanced at him sideways, and sneered, “Almost fight back? Why didn’t you go ahead and try?!”“How is it possible?” Qi Jiulu hugged her and whispered softly, “The hidden rule is that you can chase me around the house to vent anger and I cannot touch you even a finger, isn’t it? I mean, I almost knelt in s
After Yun Fenghuang came back to Xi Xing Building, she realized that she had forgotten to make sure from Qi Jiulu whether the people behind Chao’s Family was Duke Yi’s Mansion or not...Not only that, she didn’t even ask about the recent situation of Xie’s Family.“How could the bastard be so muddled?!” Yun Fenghuang certainly would not admit it was she who forgot the right thing for being jealous. She blamed it on Qi Jiulu, saying, “He hasn’t made any progress in the past three years!”At this time, it was going to be dawn. Several days ago, Queen Mother Ji was ill and therefore the Empress allowed them not to greet her for three days, and today was the fourth day. Yun Fenghuang pretended to be sleep in her bed and then awakened by Xi Le for dressing up.“Queen Mother Ji has recovered, but she is still in low spirit, so today we should not disturb her.” Empress Ji was thinner than before in the past few days. Yun Fenghuang secretl
Yun Fenghuang thought that in her heart as she brought Princess Minghui back to Hu Zhu Palace in the end.She was out of choice. The princess cried all the way and didn’t allow them to either look for servants or send her back. But Yun Fenghuang couldn’t leave her alone or stand with her on the palace road all the time.“My aunt entered the palace yesterday and discussed my marriage with my mother.” Princess Minghui said. Yun Fenghuang had not decided yet whether to intervene in this princess’s thing, so after taking the princess to Xi Xing Building and calling Xi Jing to serve tea and pastries, she didn’t intend to ask more and tried to arouse the princess’ thoughts by saying other topics.However, after Princess Minghui drank half a cup of tea, maybe because of the bitterness taste, she voluntarily confided, “They all planned to match me with Cousin Minggan, and my mother even let me go to Tai Chu Palace frequently later on.”Yun
On the way to Tai Chu Palace, Princess Minghui introduced her two sisters to Yun Fenghuang. The girl in light green palace costume was Princess Jinyun, Gongxiang Xing, whose mother was Great-Concubine Wu, who was Concubine Wu in the last generation; and the one who hadn’t spoken all the way in light yellow palace costume was Princess Penglai, Gongxiang Zao, whose mother was Great-Concubine Shen, who used to be Mei Ren Shen in the last generation.Because they two were not qualified to raise the princesses, Jinyun and Penglai were both brought up by Queen Mother Ji.In accordance with the rules of the palace, they moved to Yao Yu Palace where the unmarried princesses lived when they were ten years old. As the birth daughter of Queen Mother Ji, Princess Minghui still lived in Mian Fu Palace, but she often went to visit them.Because they three shared similar age and grew up together, they had very deep affections. At the moment, seeing that Princ
Ji Minggan didn’t stay long before he asked for leave, saying that since the three princesses and the concubine were here, maybe the Emperor did not have much time to study. As a studying companion, he wanted to go back to serve his parents early, instead of being idle here.Emperor Chunjia smiled as he agreed, and let him send a warm greeting to Marquess and Marquise Haixi.Seeing this, Zheng Fengchen also had the intention to leave, but before he mentioned it, the Emperor turned his head to Yun Fenghuang and said, “Aren’t you going to see the turquoise hibiscus? Come on. I will take you to see it.”Yun Fenghuang was stunned and then said with a smile, “Thank you, My Majesty.”Hearing this, Princess Jinyun was happy and said, “Brother, is that hibiscus about to bloom? I want to see it too!”“You have already seen it.” Emperor Chunjia stood up, smiled and said casually, “You can see it later by yourself. As it is the f
Yun Fenghuang came to her sense and felt a little ridiculous, so she flicked her sleeves and said, “I should not disturb My Majesty and Jie Yu Yue. I’m leaving now.”Then she turned to go, and had no intention to appreciate the turquoise hibiscus near her.Yuan Lianniang didn’t have the intention to stop her to question, but stepped forward to hold the sleeve of Emperor Chunjia and asked... After she walked away for a short while, she still could hear the sharp cry over there with the Emperor’s desperate explanation. She twitched her lips unconsciously, and immediately thought of, “How could Yuan Lianniang come out of Hu Zhu Palace?”Jie Yu Yue should still be grounded, right?Was it because of Queen Mother Ji?She thought about it for a while, and walked to an unfamiliar territory unconsciously. The guards not far away crossed the axes and asked her to stop, because if she moved forward, she could enter the Inner Cour
Then Qi Jiulu came with a mask in the evening.Facing Yun Fenghuang’s eyes full of reproach, Gongxiang Xiao coughed, “You can’t see Qi, can you?”Then had met her requirement, so why was she still unhappy?... It must be Qi Jiulu who came up with this idea!Yun Fenghuang secretly grinded her teeth and was about to speak, but she heard Gongxiang Xiao say, “Someone submitted a report today to attack Mr. Lingshan.”“Oh?” She suddenly did not care about Qi Jiulu’s coming. Her eyes flashed, and she said, “Who did it? What did he say?”Gongxiang Xiao said, “It was a person from the Censorate Department (an ancient investigation authority). He said that he received the revealing from a fellow who came from Mr. Lingshan’s hometown.”The content revealed was very horrifying: they suspected that the old lady of Wei’s Family didn’t die of illness. It was Wei Changkong who poisoned his mother for escaping
