Zian slept for nearly half an hour before Nanny Yang woke her up to have her meal. After her meal, she strolled around the courtyard. Once her food had digested, she had a bath and got dressed before waiting for Old Seventh. However, before he arrived, she began to feel sleepy again so she decided to take a nap and only have supper with him when he returned. She woke up to someone stroking her cheek. When she opened her eyes, she found a pair of deep and dark eyes staring into her drowsy gaze. S
Upon seeing the look on Murong Jie’s face, Nanny Yang thought he was going to lose his temper at her. However, she was dumbfounded when she heard his words. Then, she turned to Zian and asked, “Your Royal Highness, didn’t you tell His Royal Highness?”Zian was in shock as well. “The Old Highness should’ve already informed him.”“Informed what?” Murong Jie bellowed, frightening Zian so much that she trembled.“How can you be so fierce, Your Royal Highness?” Nanny Yang snapped angrily, “The Pri
Zian put her head in her hands. At this point, she would prefer it if Murong Jie stayed ignorant about the pregnancy.Murong Jie put her under close surveillance. Zian could not escape so she had no choice but to send Murong Zhuangzhuang off to meet Consort Mei. She really wanted to do it herself so that she could check on Consort Mei’s injuries and listen to Consort Mei’s account regarding the matter. It would have been easier for her to evaluate and see if she had missed out on anything and a
Ni Rong spurred his horse and caught up to Murong Jie. He said reassuringly, “The prince will accept you no matter how you’re like, Your Royal Highness.”Murong Jie looked at Ni Rong indifferently. “If flowers understood words, they would be meddlesome. A silent rock is most agreeable.”It had not been easy for Ni Rong to console him, and yet, he ended up getting scolded. In the end, he suggested, “Then, why don’t you learn from the Princess Regent. She’s kind.”…Murong Jie was seriously de
It was another midwinter night.It had been three years since Zian’s return. She had opened up a few medical halls in the capital. It was a joint venture with Rouyao. Rouyao had finally listed herself as a physician.Rouyao walked more confidently now that she was a listed physician.On the other hand, Chen Liuliu was feeling very proud of herself as well. She had given birth to six children in just three years.Murong Zhuangzhuang had given birth to a girl this year. She had bled profusely
After three years of peace and prosperity, Grand Secretary Yuan had decided to hand over the reins of government to the Emperor after his wedding so that he could finally retire.Murong Jie had long harbored intentions of retiring to the State of Nan. He even had an argument with Grand Secretary Yuan one month ago over who should retire first. Grand Secretary Yuan took it to the next level and complained that his old bones were losing strength. He claimed he would fall apart if he did not retir
Zian laughed, “You’re going to turn them into hedonists.”“That’s fine, I’ll take care of them,” Qin Zhou replied.“You are going to spoil them rotten. My children are going to think I’m a poor mother.”Qin Zhou scooped the five-year-old Hutou into her arms. “Who am I?”“Mom!” Hutou grinned, flashing his two little dimples. He was indescribably good-looking. Qin Zhou’s breath was immediately taken away. Everyone had expected Qin Zhou to prefer Tianen because Tianen was the spitting image o
“Forget it. There’s no need to ponder over questions that can’t be answered.” Qin Zhou gazed at her. The sentiment in her eyes was clear as day, unlike her constant avoidance in the past. At this stage, she no longer had anything to hide. Her years as Empress had boosted her confidence greatly, granting her a different perspective in life.
