Terra Nova's ninth year of the Daedalic Years, early spring.
Kamakawa Yusui is shocked and annoyed when he receives news of a coup at the Imperial Palace and the imminent ascension of Prince Fuchi Yasutaka to the throne as the next Emperor.
Since the Kunhuang Island and Huananhe lost a battle, Kamachi sailors suffered a heavy blow, Kamakawa was forced to take the remaining troops retreated to the south of Kunhuang Island, Tsuneoshima stationed.
Unexpectedly, just when he was trying to avoid the previous shame and had been intensifying the study of the new combat program, the country had a great turnaround.
Can't think too much, Kamakawa by water immediately point all 10,000 Ying army, lead five Anzai ship and a number of ships, with enough artillery Furlong machine fire speed back to Ying, swore to fight with and Shigeru cuts a high and low winners and losers.
One night, as Kamakawa's fleet secretly approached Mizumura Harbor in Kyoto, a thick fog sudde
Snow-white glutinous rice flour was sieved into a bright basin with some white oil dripped in. Adding in warm water and a little milk, a girl stirred with her full strength using her fine and slim hands. A few moments later, a round white fat dough began to form in her hands.Her slim fingers landed on the smooth surface of the dough. She nipped off the dough bit by bit. She kneaded the smaller bits repeatedly in her hands and then gently pressed them. All the smaller bits then each turned into flat cakes.She held the flat cake in one hand and quickly added in the filling made with peanuts, sesame, preserved sweet oranges, and sugar. Her fingers danced on the cake and skillfully closed the cake and made it round. In no time, a tiny crystal glutinous sweet dumpling was made.Gu Yunxi had just made the tenth sweet dumplings when she got whacked in the back of her head.Nanny Sun, who was in charge of the kitchen, squeezed a towel in
Today was the fourteenth birthday of Gu Yunjin, the third miss of the Garden. Nanny Gu specially prepared a banquet, waiting for the Lord to come and celebrate together in the evening. Since the morning, the whole Garden had been busy preparing for Yunjin's birthday. Everyone was cheerful and everything was perfect.Among the three sisters, besides the eldest sister Yunyao was brought into the sub-residence when she was six and had memories, the other two were still four or five years old kid when they came. They didn't remember their birthdays, so Nanny Gu just made the days they came their birthdays.Among the three, although Yunjin was the youngest, she was the prettiest, so she was Nanny Gu's favorite. Nanny Gu believed that if one day Yunjin was to enter the Palace, she would be the one that was most likely to get the emperor's affection and rise up in the Palace.She was just fourteen, but she already built up a nice curve. Her tiny face
After sending the gardener Zhao An away and returning her room, Gu Yunxi couldn't wait to yell at Gu Yunyao,"Sister, are you mad?!""Don't shout to me, my dearest sister."Gu Yunyao closed the door hurriedly, turned back and looked at Gu Yunxi. Beholding some tears in her eyes, Gu Yunyao reached out her hand and touched Gu Yunxi's head gently. She explained to her amiably,"I have been in love with him since a long time ago. He is loyal, kind and honest. And he treats me very well. Today... he didn't do anything excessive to me.""It's fine for me to see what you did. But if it were discovered by Nanny Gu and the Master...""Take it easy. Shortly after the feast began, words came from the palace to summon all the men in the Eastern Depot. Yunjin lost her temper and was coaxed to roll the dice by Nanny Gu. That's why I can be free to..."Gu Yunyao said, blushing.Gu Yunxi fixed he
Youzhu Garden.On the first and the fifth day every month, Nanny Gu would allow those girls in the Garden to take a holiday. She would ask them to stop learning and walk out of the sub-residence to relax themselves in the markets or temple fairs. But she stipulated that they must be back before the evening. Otherwise, she would punish them. Certainly, Gu Yunyao, Gu Yunxi and Gu Yunjin were no exception.It was the 15th day of a month. On the pretext of going out to buy some cosmetics, Gu Yunyao disappeared!At first, no one took it seriously. However, when it turned dark and the lights were lit up, people still couldn't find Gu Yunyao everywhere in the Garden.Nanny Gu was afraid, so she sent some people to search for her. Later on, one manager reported that the gardener Zhao An had also been out of sight for the whole day.Nanny Gu patted her thigh, suddenly realizing,"Damn it! Is it possible that this b
At the front residence of Youzhu Garden.The yard was full of people with a broadsword on their waists. They all wore purple suits and black hats. They were guards in the Eastern Depot. Just now, it was boisterous. But the inner residence was far away. Thus, Gu Yunxi didn't hear the noise of the team entering the courtyard.Leng Qingtang, dressed in a robe with embroidered blue flowers and silver threads, was seated on the carved red sandalwood chair in the center of the high platform of the main hall. Cheng Wanli, one leader of the Eastern Depot, and Nanny Gu stood behind him respectively.Leng Qingtang looked down and took a sip of his tea. He was so calm. He did not turn back and said,"Nanny Gu, someone ran away from your place and a whole squad in the Eastern Depot is demanded to look for them. Both you and the girl that you have coached are so capable."His voice was very light, but the tone was so cold that the
Leng Qingtang took another two steps and was suddenly attracted by the things placed on the table.A white gourd-shaped teapot and four matching tea bowls were placed on the small square table. They were all simple blue and white porcelains. There were two dishes next to it. One was the Osmanthus rice balls that choked Gu Yunjin just now. The other one was fried hawthorn with white sugar.The eyes of Leng Qingtang were stagnant for a moment. It seemed that he had thought of something. The expression on his handsome face looked deep and complicated.Slowly reaching out his hand, Leng Qingtang picked up one hawthorn and put it in front of his eyes.The red and round hawthorn was wrapped by white sugar icing. The two colors, white and red, were contrasted with each other. It was like the red lanterns hanging outside the doors in the Spring Festival, which were stained by the white snow. The flames rendered the world and also warmed th
Gu Yunxi woke up at noon. When she opened her eyes, she found nobody was in the room. After getting out of the bed, Gu Yunxi quickly washed her face with hot water, put on a coat and simply wore a chamomile bun. Then she went straight to the kitchen.This was the time for lunch. A few maids were having dinner sitting on the stove. When they saw Gu Yunxi coming, they immediately put down the tableware in their hands and laughed to greet her."Hey, you got up, Second Miss? We have made you lunch. Let me bring it to your room.""You don't have to bother. Just leave me a bowl of hot soup." Gu Yunxi's voice was docile and soft."That won't work. You will get sick if you always drink soup without eating something. Let me prepare the meal for you right away!"Nanny Sun was extremely enthusiastic about her, and it seemed to be a different person than the one who slapped her hard."I just took medicin
“!”After listening to Leng Qingtang, Gu Yunyao was suddenly nervous. The smug look suddenly disappeared,"What did you say?""Isn't it? Compared to you, that gardener is really useless to me. He kidnapped a good girl, and it's an imperial maid and she’s my girl. Shouldn't he be dying? I not only want to kill him, but also destroy his family! In Zhaojia Village, fifty miles west of the capital, a family of five people, because of your momentary thoughts, will become the dead soul of the Eastern Depot!"The spies from the Eastern Depot spread all over Dayi. For them, it was definitely an easy task to extract this little information.Leng Qingtang raised her smooth, delicate jaw slightly, staring at the panic-stricken girl with a dominating gesture. He showed a sly and cold smile sly."... No, no! You can't!"Gu Yunyao rolled off the bed sadly, and Leng Qingtang flashed quickly. She missed it, b
