Has His Highness returned? He Lian Min Min was suddenly startled. Her first reaction was not joy but panic.
“Mistress, why do you look so troubled? Isn’t His Highness’s return something to be happy for? Now that there is a pillar in the residence, you don’t have to endure gossip and criticism from others, do you?” Feng Momo didn’t understand He Lian Min Min’s worries, so she comforted her based on her own perspective.
Li Wei scratched his head, uncertainly saying: “I have an uncle who is involved in the restoration and identification of cultural relics. I seem to have seen similar drawings at his place before. This bracelet used to be worn by an Empress on the auspicious day of her coronation, and its exquisite craftsmanship left an impression on me. However, I had heard that it has long been lost, reportedly taken away by foreigners a hundred years ago…”
Mu Xi Yao blinked with those dark and shiny eyes of hers, her brows furrowed, staring at Wei Zhen until he quickly lowered his head.
With this kind of appearance, it was no wonder His Highness couldn’t hold out against her. Fortunately, Master was not present at the moment, otherwise, he would have received another cold gaze.
“Speak up, do you know anything about the matter today? What is He Lian House planning?” Consort Shu stared at He Lian Min Min, her face filled with displeasure. Such a big matter, yet she had been left in the dark. Did they take her seriously or not?
He Lian Min Min knew that her family had not handled things correctly as they had gone straight to Imperial Noble Consort and Fu Zhaoyi to plead their case, bypassing His Sixth Highness and Consort Shu. It was only natural for Consort Shu to be furious.
“One of them is the Second Miss of He Lian Residence, He Lian Wei Rui, who is also shu sister of the Sixth Prince’s Princess Consort,” Fu Zhaoyi replied coldly, her demeanor still proud and aloof. “Miss Wei Rui had written a book called《New Interpretation of Buddhist Scriptures》, which was highly praised by the current Chancellor of the Hanlin Academy1.
“As for the other person, she also has a close connection with the Sixth Princess Consort. Why don’t you guess who it is?”
“Could it be that He Lian House has produced two talented women? Which sister of the Princess Consort is she?” Cao Chonghua2 asked curiously.
Boss Feng held Luo Xi’s shoulder and quickly sized her up all over.
Very good. It seems that she didn’t suffer any external injuries.
The most important face didn’t have any small cuts. Compared to other people’s pale faces and fatigue, her condition looked much better.
Sure enough, it was different when one was under the sea’s wing.
Zong Zheng Ying looked at the backs of Consort Shu and He Lian’shi with a sullen expression, her eyes filled with hostility. She had underestimated Zong Zheng Lin’s Principal Consort! She didn’t expect to almost land herself in trouble.
“Your Highness, Bengong heard that the Imperial Garden has recently acquired a batch of rare hibiscuses and was planning to go have a look. Does Princess have any interest in accompanying Bengong and providing an opinion on them?”
‘Put an end to her plan’? When it came to this matter, He Lian Min Min was quite clever. She was only a step away from suggesting directly that He Lian Wei Rui be sent to the Eighth Prince’s residence.
Mu Xi Yao felt a little cheated in this deal. Since He Lian Min Min dared to bring it up so openly, it meant that it has something to do with her return to her maternal home. Someone must have given her guidance behind the scenes; otherwise, this woman wouldn’t have let go of her grudges so easily.
