Song Yixiao felt awkward and quickly blushed. Then she looked down and tightened her sleeves, appearing like a bashful girl.After a while, she raised her head again. As expected, Yuan Xue’e and the others, including Jinxun, had left sensibly while Jian Xubai had walked to the position three steps away from her. He also stopped being loving and then said smilingly, “You respond quite fast!”“Thank you!” Song Yixiao felt perturbed and wondered whether he was asking for the jade pendant back. Then she calmed herself down and asked, “May I know why you want to meet me?”“I am free today. Ramble with me around the garden in the marquis’s mansion then.” Jian Xubai said with his hands put behind his back, “After all, I have made a sincere pledge to you that I would marry you. Although the imperial decree of granting the marriage is not issued, I must meet you and spend time with you anyway so as to make my words trustworthy, right?”Song

“You?” Song Yixiao couldn’t help feeling shocked, “Is this done by you?”She couldn’t believe it. Wei Chan looked lively, cheerful and simple-minded but she acted rather properly. Two days ago, when Wei Chan came to show her the banquet, Song Yixiao saw clearly that she sat down carefully and kept the flowers away from the embroidery.Moreover, only Ms. Zhao had the key to the room where the embroidery frame was placed. Yet, how could she disobey her own mistress’s order because of a lady who sojourned here?“I didn’t stain it but it is caused by me accidentally!” Wei Chan started to tell the ins and outs of the matter sobbingly, “Two hours ago, Sixth Young Lady suddenly came over! As she heard that you had gone out, she was going to leave. However, when she got up, she saw the embroidered patterns on my collars and then complimented me. Then I... I told her the patterns were embroidered by you!”It was nothing at first but it sudd

Back to the Hanxia Villa, Song Yixiao told all servants, “Mother is pregnant. The Prince doesn’t want her to be tired. So he asks two young mistresses and Fourth Commandery Princess to replace her to manage the mansion temporarily. A new broom sweeps clean. And Second Young Mistress always niggle us. Luckily, First Young Mistress agrees to conceal it due to my mother today. Otherwise I’m unable to protect you!”“From now on, you all should remember this!”“Sixth Young Lady indeed came here once. But nothing happened to the birthday presents. Sixth Young Lady just had a look at them and then left!”“Do you understand?”“If Second Young Mistress makes trouble for us because one of you talks nonsense, I won’t let him go!”Although she treated her servants well in recent years, she never pardoned servants who made mistakes. So when her attitude was serious and Ms. Zhao echoed her view, everyone assented solemnly and didn’t

Wei Mengying was doing her duty as a mother to teach her daughter hard. Madam Cheng of the Cui Family was also a mother. But she was full of sadness at present. “Jianlian, do you want the whole Cui Family to have a bed ending?” Asked she.Next to her, Cui Jianlian didn’t wear a coat with uncombed hair. She just wore pink underwear with tight sleeves, holding a sharp hairpin with her hand. She said with firm eyes, “I’ve said that I wouldn’t marry any men except Lu Guanlun!”“But the Empress Dowager’s decree has come...”“Empress Dowager’s decree?” Cui Jianlian sneered, “Let the person who beg for the decree to marry him! Do you think I know nothing? I didn’t give face to Commandery Princess Qingjiang at the feast of the Shangsi Festival. How can she put in a good word for me to the Empress Dowager? If you didn’t take actions, the Empress Dowager wouldn’t ask me to be the side concubine of the Crown Prince!”Madam Cheng was speechles

When Song Yixiao hesitated, Lu Kou’er and Lu Chai’er had already drunk it. They drew their handkerchiefs out to wipe their lips lightly.Lu Chai’er’s mood seemed to recover a little after she got such a precious thing. She especially appreciated, “Grandmother, thank you. It smells fragrant and warm. But when I drink it, I feel it cooler than mint tea. It is so proper to drink it in this season! The prescription that the Grand Princess sends to the Empress Dowager is so wonderful!”“Mint tea?” Song Yixiao had been just doubtful before. But at present, her heart sank completely, “Is she joking? How can the Fragrant Green Liquid drink like mint tea!”Although she never drank it, she heard a poem about it in her previous life. The poem described the feeling after drinking it like bathing in the sunshine of March. How could the sunshine be cool?Song Yixiao felt cold at this time. Seeing the glass cup in Lanhui’s hand, she couldn’t thin
