Chapter 257 Not as Beautiful as My Mother!
As soon as Wei Changying had come back from seeing Mrs. Liu off, she had sent Mrs. Huang over to warn Wei Shengxian. 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

The Crowned Lady 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
The Crowned Lady Chapter 261 Snowstorm
In the first month of the year, two funerals in quick succession among noble families in the capital had dampened the festivity.Wei Shengyi had lost his wife in midlife, but he was only an official, so everything was done according to protocol. However, the death of Dowager Duchess Ji caused uproar in the whole capital.Having offered her condolences and returned from Duke Ji's mansion, Madam Su entered the main room and told her servants to leave, except for Granny Tao. As soon as the door was closed, Madam Su slapped the table hard with hatred, gnashing her teeth and saying, "This b*tch, Honored Consort Deng! She dares to bully our Shen Family!"Granny Tao tried to comfort her, "Please calm down, Madam. Duke Ji is very filial and he was kept in the dark about it. If he had known what was going on, why would he have let Honored Consort Deng take advantage of him?"Madam Su sneered, saying, "What do you know? Duke Ji had ob
The Crowned Lady Chapter 262 The Boy from the Western Tribes
However...The moment the first soldier of the western tribes leaped out of the snow, Shen Cangfeng, as if he had been prepared for this, swiftly retreated three steps on the snow. It took almost no time to reach the side of his mount. Within a blink of an eye, his spear was in his hand! Meanwhile, Shen Die suddenly lifted up the thick blanket spread on the snow. With his arms raised, he threw the blanket like a discus towards where the arrows came in the thickest clusters!They could hear the sound of arrows hitting the blanket. Nobody knew how many arrows the blanket caught. However, although the arrows easily tore through the outer layer of the blanket, they didn't penetrate it. Amidst the enemy's shouting, they could hear metal clanking from beneath the blanket!The rest of Shen Cangfeng's men also responded quickly only a little later than him. No matter whether they had been resting on the ground or standing guard, all of them, wit
The Crowned Lady Chapter 263 A Great Victory
After the brutal battle, the white snow, within an area of two hundred paces, had turned to dirty water mixed with blood.Shen Cangfeng saw that all the people from the western tribes, except two, had been executed on the spot, and the soldiers were excitedly chopping off the heads so that they could go back to claim the credit. Happy laughter and cheerful voices were everywhere. He handed over his spear to Shen Die and went to the side with Shen Youjia to ask about what happened in his battle. Apparently, what he was most concerned about was, "Your excellency, have you decapitated Muxiuer with your own hands?"However, having heard this, Shen Youjia, who had been excited, looked upset. He touched his nose and awkwardly coughed a few times before whispering, "Er... The King's Ten Eagles were indeed fierce. Although I set up several traps and six of them died, they fought desperately to find a way out for Muxiuer and the last one who was alive helped
The Crowned Lady Chapter 264 Changfeng's Marriage
"Have you heard about it, my third sister-in-law? Duke Ji has requested to stand guard over Dowager Duchess Ji's mausoleum for three years to show his filial piety and devotion." It was snowing in the afternoon, and snowflakes were dancing in the courtyard. Several maids were making snowmen, chattering. Mrs. Liu brought over Shen Shujing, the First Granddaughter Miss. They greeted each other, and then Mrs. Liu told Shen Shujing to play with the parrot. She herself came to play chess with Wei Changying. Within a few moves, she threw down her chess pieces and raised her head, saying, "Mother is very worried now!"Wei Changying knew that the Shen Family was planning to change the crown prince. At first, she had suspected that Duke Ji was the candidate to replace the Crown Prince because after all, Duchess Ji, Shen Cangxiu, was Shen Xuan's eldest lineal daughter. However, a few days ago, the news came that Shen Xuan had fallen ill, so except Shen Cangfeng who was far
The Crowned Lady Chapter 265 The Reason for Giving the Marriage
Actually, the most appropriate person, one who could be able to pry into the reason behind this marriage, would be Wei Shengyi. However, having lost his wife not long ago, even if he could put his sadness aside to help, Wei Shengyi, who was still in mourning, was not suitable to go to the palace. Having thought of all the relatives and friends that Old Madam Song had told her about before she had become married, Wei Changying thought that the person who most likely knew the inside story was the vice-premier, Wei Yu. She then told the thoughtful Mrs. Huang to prepare a gift and sent her over there.Mrs. Huang didn't come back until close to curfew. Not bothering to have some water, she started to speak about what had happened, "The wife of the vice-premier said she was about to send someone over to tell you about this, young madam. This is what happened. Since Dowager Duchess Ji has passed away and His Majesty has ordered all his children in the capital to pay the
