Chapter 139: Princess Long, Qian Luo

snorted coldly in his heart and took a step forward, "Your Majesty, look carefully, isn't this the one you chose back then" 。“Empress Li looked left and right, the more she looked, the more excited s...It was an antique wooden box, looking quite old. Almost half the lacquer had chipped off the surface. 。 Empress Dowager Yu opened the box and took out a bracelet and a hairpin. She gave the bracelet to Ye Qingmei and the hairpin to Ye Wenyan. 。Then to Mu Qianqiu: "With elders present, Qianqiu, I won't give it to you." 。These two things aren't valuable objects, but they were brought from my family home before I entered the palace. They can be considered my dowry. 。She forgot all about the “Empress” title and continued, “My family wasn’t wealthy, so this dowry box was started by my mother when she was young. She kept adding to it until I got married.” 。The jewelry in here is all outdated, you girls don't have to wear it, just keep it. 。If I get something good later, I'll definitely have someone send it to you. 。Ye Qingmei was a little dazed, not knowing whether she should accept this bracelet. 。Ye Wen readily took the hairpin, then bowed slightly. "Thank you, Empress Dowager, for your kindness. Though it is an old piece, it does not appear outdated. It has a kind of antique charm." 。When her younger sister accepted, Ye Qingmei also accepted. 。But she was more well-behaved than Ye Wen, knowing that after accepting the imperial concubine's reward, one should kneel and thank her. 。So he pretended to kneel before Empress Dowager Yu, but was lifted up by Congwen. “Big sister, please don't perform such a grand ceremony! The Empress Dowager doesn’t treat you as outsiders. In the future, if you can visit often, it would make her happier than kneeling down countless times.” 。“

Yè Qīngméi could only stand and say thank you, again and again. 。Finally out of Changxin Palace, a palace maid led them, heading towards the Phoenix Flying Hall. 。Empress Dowager Yu personally escorted the person to the palace gate, and even politely nodded at Madam Ji as they departed. 。The maids were very well-behaved, only walking far ahead to guide the way while keeping a distance that allowed those behind to see where to go but not hear what they were saying. 。Ye Qingmei was still bewildered, holding the bracelet in her hand. She didn't know whether to wear it or not, and had nowhere to put it down. She could only endlessly struggle with the dilemma. 。Empress Dowager Yu's performance was indeed a bit too enthusiastic, but Ye Qingmei didn't understand. However, Mu understood very well. 。She knew it all was due to Ye Wen's face, or perhaps... Her gaze shifted towards a direction, the highest point of the palace. On that mountain stood a palace, the most supreme place on this continent. 。Perhaps Empress Yu was not concerned with Ye Wen's reputation, but rather the reputation of the palace itself. 。She told Ye Qingmei: "Don't worry about things you shouldn't. What if we don't have the fortune to do so Even if we did, I wouldn't want you involved." 。" Night Qingmei was taken aback, she pondered for a while before understanding what her mother meant, and couldn't help but smile. " 。"The Empress Dowager asked my mother if I had been promised to anyone, right Mother, please rest assured, I don't have such thoughts. Besides, I'm already betrothed and will only be able to marry after the mourning period is over. Then I can live my own life." 。Ye Wen listened to their words and remembered that his elder sister had indeed been betrothed. 。Not only did the eldest sister get engaged, but the elder brother also got engaged. 。They had been delayed by the funerals of their grandfather and father, and neither was willing to marry within a hundred days, so the wedding date had to be postponed for another three years. 。But these days, I haven't heard anything about her having contact with Ye Fu. As a prospective daughter-in-law, even if they weren't married yet, their relationship should be close, right I wonder if I'm overthinking it, or if something is off. 。I want to ask, but considering it's the Lunar New Year, some things can wait. 。At this moment, the maidservant leading the way suddenly stopped, stepped aside, and knelt down to pay her respects. 。The steps of the three Mu family members also stopped. They saw a sedan chair being carried by palace maids towards them. A woman in palace attire sat on the sedan chair, in her thirties, with a stunning appearance. Her eyebrows and eyes resembled those of the權 family. 。It's just that this palace attire was in plain white, extremely plain. It was even more austere than the plain clothes worn by the Ye family during their period of mourning. Besides the blue hidden under the button and a pattern beneath it, everything else was simply white like water. 。Mu's eyebrows furrowed slightly, though only for a moment, it was still seen by Ye Wenyan. 。Ye Qingmei also let out a soft sigh, then followed her mother to kneel and pay their respects, saying in unison: "Your humble servant, Your humble daughter, greets the Princess Consort. May the Princess Consort live a long and prosperous life." 。"

When Mu knelt down, he pulled Ye Wenyan's sleeve. However, Ye Wenyan only studied why that person was still in mourning clothes during the New Year. " 。Although the late emperor was in mourning, the royal family had to prioritize state affairs. Even during the New Year celebrations, while it was inappropriate to dress too flamboyantly, they couldn't just wear plain clothes either. They still needed to consider the festive atmosphere of the new year. 。By the time she thought this through, she was too late to kneel down in time. When she reacted, it was already too late. 。 Just listen to the eldest princess: "The Ye family is becoming more and more prosperous. Now they have even developed to the point where they don't kneel when they see this palace. Is this not putting this palace in their eyes, or are they not putting the royal family of Beqi in their eyes" Ye Wenyan originally wanted to kneel, after all, she had no grievances with the eldest princess in the past and present. Since entering the land, she had to follow the customs. A courtier encountering royalty should perform a kneeling ceremony, which is a rule followed by everyone. She didn't need to make too much fuss about this matter. 。The problem is that this person has a rebellious streak. If everyone were to get along, she wouldn't know what to do. 。If she were like this princess, coming up with sharp criticisms right away, then she wouldn't really be able to do the kneeling ceremony. 。Then he stood straight, tilting his head slightly to look at the person sitting in the sedan chair. After a while, he noticed something amiss and couldn't help but exclaim, "Since you're talking about the royal family of Northern Qi, then the princess should be the princess of Northern Qi. But why isn't the princess of Northern Qi wearing the court robes of Northern Qi Whose mourning attire are you wearing"After all, he had lived in the palace for half a month and would occasionally go out to stroll around Yanhuashan. 。Although she is mostly concealed, while others cannot see her, she can see them. 。She knew exactly what the clothing of a Northern Qi palace lady looked like, so she immediately noticed that the princess's attire was somewhat different. 。This is not the style of a Northern Qi court garment. The clasps on a Northern Qi court garment slant down from the collar to the armpit 。But the eldest princess's clothes, the buttons were fastened from her neckline down vertically, after four they were connected in the middle to a circular pattern. 。The pattern has words on it, but they are not from the Northern Qi dynasty. They resemble an ancient totem with a distinct exotic flavor. 。"If the princess wasn't observing filial piety for the late emperor, she wouldn't be qualified to associate herself with the Northern Qi royal family." 。I may not treat you as an individual, but I still hold great respect for the imperial family of Northern Qi. 。When she said this, the maidservant from Changxin Palace who was in charge of guiding them couldn't help but raise her head and glance over. She thought to herself that the name "Night Four Sister Witch" truly lived up to its reputation; her courage was indeed remarkable. 。I wonder if the Princess will get angry, and how we'll handle it if she does. 。Ye Qingmei tugged at Ye Wenyan's skirt and spoke, "Yan'er, say less. Just kneel down and greet the Empress Dowager. After that, just give her some space and this will be over." 。"How could you possibly have gone on" The statement struck the elder princess, igniting her anger. "How could you possibly go on Tell me, how can you even bear to continue living"The fire of rage consumed her, and she no longer cared about Ye Wenyan's previous impertinence. Her gaze turned towards the three of them, filled with endless hatred, as if they bore a deep-seated grudge against each other, a hatred so intense that it could only be satisfied by devouring them alive. 。Ye Wen was a little puzzled. He thought that the princess shouldn't be idle and suddenly went on a rampage against them. Judging from her attitude, there was an 80% chance that she had a past grudge. 。As she didn't know the past grievances, she couldn't comment. Thus, she stopped berating Bai and simply bowed her head, softly saying: "Ask the Grand Princess if she is well" 。Then step to the side and let others pass. 。Mu Shi and Ye Qingmei also moved to the side, but they didn't get up, they were still kneeling. 。Actually, their true intentions were all to quell the matter. Even Yin Wen was thinking on this New Year's Eve that this was Quan Qingcheng's first imperial feast as emperor. If it could go smoothly, then let it go smoothly. Some things could be endured, even if they were settled in the autumn, they wouldn't make trouble for the child during the banquet tonight. 。But this princess wouldn't budge. She let the path, but refused to leave, sitting stiffly in her palanquin, staring intently at Madam Mu, her whole body trembling. 。Ye Wenyan frowned, just about to speak, but suddenly the crown princess laughed. 。From anger to laughter, the shift was so abrupt. Her face had already darkened, and this sudden burst of laughter from her white clothes was truly unsettling. 。The laughter was loud and carried far. She laughed so hard, she leaned back and forth, her movements were too vigorous, causing the palace maids carrying her palanquin to stumble and almost throw her out of it. 。The Princess remained oblivious, merely pointing a finger at Mu Shi with a shrill voice: "Mu Qianqiu, this is what true karma feels like! Ten years ago your husband destroyed my family, and now that he's died in his prime, is this not retribution It has to be. He did too many bad things in his life, even the old master couldn't bear to let him live any longer." 。Mu Qianqiu, you're now widowed just like me. How is it Does widowhood suit you

The Crown Princess laughed, "Do you miss your husband Do you yearn for the days when you two drank and sang beneath the moonlit flowers Do you still remember what he looked like What scent he wore" Of course, you remember now because your man has only been dead for two months. You haven't forgotten everything yet." 。But what about two years later What about ten years later After he's been dead for ten years, will you still remember him” The Crown Princess grew increasingly agitated, her voice almost a shriek. "Mu Qianqiu, the Master is fair! He killed so many people, so the Master must take his life to repay those lives! You deserve to be widowed! You deserve to end up like me! But that's not all, my child is dead, but your children are still alive. Isn't that unfair! I curse your entire family, one day you will all die, perish completely! One day, you will become like me, widowed and childless, forever trapped in pain.” 。Mu Qianqiu, you all will die a terrible death! You will all die a terrible death!”To get the latest updates, please remember to refresh the page after a short while. Chapter content is being typed manually. Please wait a moment.
