Chapter 54 The Emperor's Envoy Arrived
After seeing Deng Zongqi personally, Madam Song called Song Zaishui and Wei Changying the next day and spoke to them frankly, "This marriage must be stopped. Although the reply from Jiangnan has not arrived yet, I expect that they would feel the same about this. According to Honored Consort Deng, on the birthday of Lady Zhong there would be a bad omen in the palace—Since the Honored Consort's Zhaohua Palace is situated in the south of the Imperial Palace, the Empress and Lady Zhong would have their men do some tricks over it when the time comes."
After a pause, Madam Song continued, "The First Prince was impeached because he was exposed by the abolished Empress Qian for using witchcraft to curse His Majesty! Therefore, if His Majesty were to consider the Honored Consort as a bad omen, even if he wouldn’t abrogate her as the Honored Consort, the Deng Family's status would suffer greatly from now on, especially for the life of the only Prince of the Deng Family who could

"So is my eldest cousin here too?" Wei Changying knew that Song Zaitian was coming, but she was going to see Shen Zhou today. She was so nervous that she forgot Song Zaitian. At that moment, she was reminded by Old Madam Song. She rolled her eyes and saluted respectfully. "I often heard my mother talking about my uncle and two cousins. But I was too young and forgot. I thought I would see you in the future. Unexpectedly, I have the chance to see you now."Compared with her meeting with Shen Zhou, Wei Changying was closer to Song Zaitian, but she didn't offend Shen Zhou. After all, Wei Changying hadn't got married yet. Even if she was already a member of the Shen Family in name and Shen Zhou just said this, however, a daughter of an eminent family needed to have a reserved manner before getting married, which showed her dignity as the lineal daughter of the Wei Family.What's more, Shen Zhou was an elder, and it was the first time that they had met.

Wei Changying felt funny, and she asked, "Has it reached such a point?""In this way, His Majesty would not promote them to leave Fengzhou." Wei Changfeng took a sip of tea and said lightly, "Although we still have ways to deal with them, even if they leave Fengzhou, it would be better to keep them in Fengzhou."Although his tone was light, he couldn't cover his worries. Wei Changying turned to him curiously and asked, "What are you worrying about?"Wei Changfeng looked around. Granny Shi immediately told the outsiders to leave. Madam Song also asked with concern, "Changfeng, what's the matter?""Mo Binwei is unwilling to work for us." Wei Changfeng sighed helplessly.Hearing this, Madam Song frowned. Wei Changying asked with surprise, "Why? Is it because of Song Han and Song Duan?" She didn't care about this kind of matters of the front yard. She thought it was settled long ago. According to common sense, Mo Binwei wa
The Crowned Lady Chapter 57 Zhong Jie
Shen Zhou had stayed in Fengzhou for ten days, and now he had to return to the capital. Song Zaitian had come with Shen Zhou, but he was not an envoy. His destination was as same as Shen Zhou's, and he had already asked for a leave, so he needed not to return to the capital with Shen Zhou....Before Shen Zhou left Fengzhou, Deng Zongqi had already set off to Qingzhou as soon as he had recovered a bit, so as to catch up with his companions.Song Zaitian and Song Zaishui stayed in Fengzhou in the name of visiting relatives. They tacitly waited for the Standby Guards to return to the capital. At the beginning of August, Gu Yiran and his companions eventually arrived in Fengzhou. When the servants in the Wei Family passed on the news to the rear hall, Old Madam Song asked, "Did they find Lady Zhong's relatives?""There are two carriages which didn't appear when they set off." the servant said as he put down his hands, "According to the style of the
The Crowned Lady Chapter 58 Farewell
The Wei Family had entertained Deng Zongqi and his companions with great hospitality. Having heard that Duanmu Wuyou was staying with Zhong Jie in the inn, the Wei Family asked someone to bring them food and wine.In order to express how much he cared for his granddaughter, Wei Huan attended the dinner. He and Old Madam Song sincerely thanked Deng Zongqi again and provided him generous gifts. Deng Zongqi immediately stood up and thanked for their kindness, but he refused to take the gifts. The Wei Family sought ways to return Deng Zongqi's kindness, but Deng Zongqi bestowed favor without expecting repayment. They had argued for a while before Song Zaitian mediated, which resulted in Deng Zongqi accepting half of the gifts.After Deng Zongqi accepted the gifts, the members of the Wei Family felt relief—they owed him nothing now. Although Wei Family and Song Family had secretly agreed to join hands with Deng Zongqi, their convention was under the rose. On the
The Crowned Lady Chapter 59 The Ambush!
Outside Fengzhou, there was a long pavilion every ten miles and a short pavilion every five miles. Standby Guards, Song Zaitian, and Wei Changfeng all came from distinguished families. Although they had conflicts in the Little Bamboo Hill before, except Wei Changfeng and Duanmu Wuyou, they all reconciled during the banquet. They walked slowly together and talked cheerfully and humorously. They passed by two long pavilions without notice. All the way to the third long pavilion, Gu Yiran and Song Zaitian stopped their horses and asked the people of the Wei Family to stay.When it was almost thirty miles away from the countryside, Wei Changfeng ordered people to set up a banquet in the long pavilion to bid farewell to everyone and ordered the family performers and musicians to dance and play music. In the capacity of the host, he then, in turn, toasted and greeted each guest. So it took another more an hour more to complete this set of farewell ceremonies inherited from th

Wei Changfeng's whole body jolted. Although he grew up with Wei Changying and also knew that his sister practiced martial arts regardless of rain or shine, he did not know that Wei Changying had such good skills that she was able to kill the leaders of these masked men in black one hit!At this moment, Wei Changfeng turned countless thoughts in his heart and wanted to say anything, but he was pulled back by Wei Qing. The sudden killing of the leader surprised a lot of people in black! Even the arrows in the forest stopped. Seeing Wei Qing and Wei Changfeng wanting to take advantage of this short quiet field to get away, a nearby masked man in black woke up and shouted angrily, "Idiot! What are you waiting for? Kill! Take vengeance for the head of the family! "Reminded by him, all the men in black got their sense back and moved forward waving their blades. The arrows appeared again from the forest. Bang! Bang! A row of three arrows completely followed the p

"Big sister, the people in the opposite woods were…." Wei Changfeng was dragged along by Wei Qing on their run, and he had been scratched by countless small branches on his face and body. Although Wei Changfeng who was accustomed to a comfortable and affluent lifestyle was now hurting all over his body, he could not hide the joy on his face, "Were they 'Biwu'?""If 'Biwu' had arrived, could we still have been running like this?" Wei Changying was extremely calm, her tone unshaken as if nothing had happened, "That was Uncle Jiang. When the first wave of arrows came down, he kicked over the carriage and blocked the arrows for me using the bottom of the car with no windows and doors. Earlier during the chaos, he told me that he was going into the woods to kill off the archers. Otherwise, none of us could survive today! Now it looks like Uncle Jiang has already found the archers and wiped them out during the short while when those men in black came out!"Hearin
The Crowned Lady Chapter 62 My Surname Is Wei
Outside the foggy place, it was becoming clear in sight suddenly. The drizzle did not hide anything, but made the valley greener.Not far from the valley floor, there was a row of newly built wooden huts. The smell of wood that was recently cut down did not disappear yet.Outside the wooden huts, there was a rainshed roofed with green-and-yellow grass. Under it, four or five men as strong as bears around the bonfire were roasting pheasants and wild rabbits. They talked and behaved in a rude way. A man among them perhaps felt so hot beside the bonfire that he took off his coat. His breast was filled with hair. After seeing strangers from outside the valley, these men casually glanced at them. The man with bare arms even did not intend to put on his coat. He continued to roast the rabbit on the fire and loudly asked, “Hu Nu, who are these two strangers? Why did you bring them here?”“They are honored guests whom young master has waited for severa
