Miss Gu was about to leave the scene, but Qian Mo'er made her embarrassed, so she turned around and glared at Qian Mo'er as she said, "You are ridiculous!"
Miss Gu then left after saying those, but Qian Mo'er was unwilling to let her go like this. She chased and then stopped Miss Gu by opening her arms in front of her and shouted, "I dare to swear, dare you? If you dare not, how can you say that I am ridiculous? You caused this, but now you are also scolding me. You are so unreasonable!"
"It is useless to reason with people like you," said Miss Gu. She didn't want to talk to Qian Mo'er anymore, but she couldn't get rid of her. Now she also became angry and said, "Wei Changying has already left, why are you still pestering me? Isn't it shameful enough for you for what you've done?"
Hearing this, Qian Mo'er was shocked. She looked around and found that Wei Changying and Su Yuli had already been more than ten Zhangs away from her, where she could
Liu Zhi walked carefully to Honored Consort Deng and whispered, "The little young master has hurt his knees, and the Empress is very worried. Therefore, she temporarily went over to have a look at him, and now she is on her way back."Wei Changying did not know which little young master she was talking about, but Honored Consort Deng immediately snorted and said, "The people in the Eastern Palace are getting more and more ridiculous! How do they do their works? A'lin is less than three years old now so that they should pay more attention to a child at such a young age! I can't believe that they let the imperial grandson hurt his knees! Were wet nurses and maidservants all dead?"Hearing what the Honored Consort said, Wei Changying suddenly realized that the so-called little young master was the youngest son of the Crown Prince. According to the system of the Great Vi, all the daughters of the Crown Prince would be titled to be Infantas and the sons of the C
No matter how many twists and turns there had been, Princess Linchuan's birthday feast was over.People didn't know whether Honored Consort Deng was annoyed or prepared to snitch to His Majesty when she left first on the excuse of going to the imperial study to see His Majesty before the end of the feast. Everyone watched Honored Consort leave. Deng Wanwan and Wei Changying did not need to accompany Honored Consort, so they also went back to the seats under the vermilion steps. When they left, Wei Changying took a chance to look at Miss Deng, who had a pair of eyebrows like crescent moons, as her name described. Her eyes were big and bright. Probably because she was young, her cheeks were plump, and there was a natural reddish hue, which made her look slightly shy.Because Honored Consort Deng and Deng Zongqi were born beautiful, Wei Changying was not surprised that Deng Wanwan was a little beauty. After she had arrived at the capital, the young girls she h
After the Empress Gu returned to her palace, the maids immediately helped her take off the heavy clothes and decorations. When a trusted maid who knelt down beside the bed was lightly pounding her legs with a mini jade hammer fetched by another maid, she told the news brought by the maidservant to the Empress Gu.The Empress Gu was kneading the part between her eyebrows. As she heard the news that the servant had watched Liu Ruoyu, Tenth Miss of the Liu Family, walk out of Qianqiu Pavilion and then run after Eighth Miss of the Duanmu Family who went past this pavilion, the Empress Gu stopped and asked in a low voice, “Did you see it clearly?”The trusted maid whispered, “At that time, I was standing beside your highness, so how could I witness that in person? It was Liu Yun who saw it. She has served you for many years, and she is so prudent that she would not tell a lie.”The Empress Gu said, “It is said that Liu Ruoyu, whose biological mother
Honored Consort Deng didn’t leave the Imperial Study until Jieyu Miao had arrived. After she left the banquet, Jieyu Miao had a bath and then dressed up before briskly heading for the Imperial Study. Given an excuse by Honored Consort Deng, Jieyu Miao stayed with His Majesty here. Therefore, Honored Consort Deng finished her task and then returned to her palace, exhausted.Servants had placed buckets of ice in the pavilion earlier, so it was pleasantly cool now. Lying on the soft bed in the pavilion, Honored Consort Deng felt at ease, with the soft breeze blowing against the hanging curtains. On the table was a plate of sliced fruit cooled in a well. They looked nice.After Honored Consort Deng drank a cup of ice Agarwood drink and ate a few pieces of fruit, she narrowed her eyes cozily. As she took the handkerchief out of her sleeve to wipe her fingers clean, she asked the only maid in the pavilion, “What do you think of Wei Changying?”The ma
The Empress and Honored Consort each had their own plans, so they looked relaxed and determined.However, Madam Su couldn't calm herself down when she returned home. She sent her servants away as soon as the moment she entered through the door. She only kept her daughter and daughters-in-law. Hardly had she sat down when she grabbed Shen Cangning and asked, "What you just said is true?"Shen Cangning nodded affirmatively—However, she was not really trustworthy in Madam Su’s mind. Even though Madam Su looked at Shen Cangning for a long time and the latter seemed to be sincere, Madam Su was still not at ease. Then she pointed at Shen Cangning and said, "Let me tell you. If you only encouraged Princess Qingxin to play in the imperial garden without permission, I would beat you up at most! If you dared to lie again, I would lock you up in the yard and you should never think about going to your maternal grandmother’s house anymore! Did you hear me?"
When Wei Changying had just got married, she had learned that Shen Canghui's wedding date was two months later than hers. It was only half a month away now but they were just starting to ask people from the Grand Preceptor's mansion over to help out. Wei Changying thought about how complicated her own wedding had been, and inevitably worried about whether there was enough time for them.When she returned to the Jintong Courtyard, she asked Mrs. Huang about it. Mrs. Huang smiled and said, "Young madam, you knew that the fourth young master's wedding date would be two months later than yours. After all, he and the young master are cousins, and the fourth young master was raised by our Madam as if he were her own flesh and blood. I think that when the people from the Grand Preceptor's mansion were busy preparing for the young master's wedding, they must have been doing the same thing for the fourth young master's. A month and a half ago, you were married into the Shen Fami
Although Wei Changying was just assisting because Madam Su and Mrs. Liu were mainly in charge, she didn't know how complicated and severe it was about making an engagement until she really participated in it. Following her mother-in-law and sister-in-law, Wei Changying finally managed all the things after being busy from dawn to dusk for more than ten days.After a good rest, Wei Changying noticed that the Third Miss Shen Lianmei had never shown up, so she felt strange about it. This day, only Mrs. Liu was with her, so Wei Changying asked Mrs. Liu about Shen Lianmei. Mrs. Liu said in a low voice, "You didn't know. The third sister's mother passed away last year."Shen Lianmei was in mourning. No wonder she didn't show up from the time when Wei Changying came to offer tea and the engagement of Shen Canghui's marriage.Wei Changying understood and said, "No wonder I haven't seen my third sister since I came here."Mrs. Liu said natur
When the two arrived in the rear backyard of Count Xiangning's mansion, Madam Su had come back from the front courtyard and was checking the list and talking to Mrs. Liu. Yet, she was not surprised to see Shen Cangfeng and said, "Canghui has just come back. Chief Gu is indeed well-intentioned."Shen Cangfeng smiled and said, "It's good for both sides. Aren't there more people Mother can command now?"Madam Su laughed and taunted, "You are just taking the task of greeting the guests. In this kind thing, you are not competent than a capable manager.""After all, I can share Mother's cares and burdens." Shen Cangfeng joked with his mother, "Besides, I can help to massage Mother’s back and legs.""Just go away!" Madam Su tried to drive him out. "I was just about to write the list. After you come over and massage, I write it crooked." She then slighted over him, "Go to the front courtyard and ask the manager over there if she needs any
