The maid brought hot water. “Young Madam, I’ll help you wash up.” Gu Yue didn’t move. She stared at her reflection in the water, lifting her hand to gently wipe away the thick layer of foundation on her face. She looked truly ugly. If it weren’t for going back to her family’s home, she wouldn’t […]
Dong Mei left the main room and turned into the tea room. Back when Gu daren had been drinking flower wine for several nights in a row, Gu Jiu had seized the opportunity to plant a small seed in Dong Mei’s mind. Months later, it had finally taken root and begun to grow. Chun He […]
Gu daren let out a hearty laugh. “Coming to visit Bai yiniang, you’ve punished her long enough. In benguan’s opinion, starting today, stop punishing her. “Also, this maid Chun He, she’s perceptive and capable. Benguan likes her. Pick a lucky day tomorrow and elevate her to the position of yiniang. What do you think?” Xie […]
“Ahem… ahem…” Gu daren cleared his throat twice. “Er yatou, watch your words.” Gu Jiu replied respectfully, “Father’s instruction is well received.” Gu daren then glanced at Xie shi. “Enough. I know you mean well on behalf of er yatou.” Xie shi, still with a stern face, said, “As long as Gu daren knows I […]
Su er laoye frowned slightly. “When we first heard you were betrothed to Gongzi Zhao, your da jiujiu and I were quite worried. Xiao Jiu, do you know that Ning wangfei, Pei shi, is only a half-sister to Lu hou, Pei Ren?” Gu Jiu nodded. “I’ve heard about it.” Su er laoye continued, “The current […]
As soon as Gu Jiu returned to Zhilan Yuan, Xiao Cui came to report. “Guniang, you’re back just in time. Taitai sent someone to invite you to the Furong Yuan, but nubi stopped them from entering. Guniang should go there quickly. If taitai finds out you snuck out of the residence, it’ll be over.” Gu […]
The (1) in the chapter title doesn’t mean I’m splitting chapters into parts. The title itself is named that way. I’m vehemently against splitting chapters. As soon as Gu daren returned home, he learned that Gu Jiu had given gifts to everyone, but had completely overlooked Xie shi. Gu daren was about to scold Gu […]
Gu Yue looked at the surprised expressions on everyone’s faces, feeling extremely pleased with herself. People always said she hadn’t lived well at the Haixi bo fu, but now she was showing everyone with real gold and silver exactly how well she had been doing. Gu Jiu accepted the gift. “Thank you, san meimei. Such […]
The people in charge of escorting the dowry arrived. Zhang shi proudly displayed Gu Jiu’s dowry to everyone from the wang fu. The guests from the wang fu, seeing the Flower Hall filled with the bridal trousseau, nodded approvingly. Compared to the dowry of Yi furen, it was by no means inferior. [T/N: Yi furen […]
It’s the moment I’ve been waiting for, after 230 chapters. Gongxi, Liu Zhao and Gu Jiu! Unlocking a new map! Ning wang fu, ladies and gentleman. On the sixteenth day of the twelfth lunar month, everything was auspicious. At the first quarter of the hour of the Tiger, while the entire capital was still asleep, […]
The night grew darker. The wedding banquet outside was drawing to a close. Gu Jiu had taken a nap and eaten a little. At this moment, she was in excellent spirits. Wang Yi had been keeping watch by the courtyard gate. The moment she spotted Gongzi Zhao in the distance, she hurriedly ran to the […]
After getting dressed, Gu Jiu turned around and glanced at Liu Zhao. Several maids were wiping Liu Zhao’s hands. They did not even overlook the dirt beneath his fingernails. Every one of the maids was beautiful. They worked meticulously, considerate and gentle. At that moment, the xi-niang entered and collected the bridal handkerchief, placing it […]
Ning wang could not wait to leave the hall. Taking his attendants with him, he departed. Pei shi snorted disdainfully and said to Liu Zhao, “Laoda, take your wife to the palace. Remember to come back early this evening. The whole family will have dinner together.” With an expressionless face, Liu Zhao acknowledged the instruction. […]
Liu Zhao secretly took hold of Gu Jiu’s hand, as if trying to give her courage. Gu Jiu very much wanted to tell him that she was fine, that she was not so fragile. Liu Zhao released her hand and said to Shu fei, “If Grandmother is dissatisfied, direct it at me. Why make things […]
“Blood! So much blood!” Xu cairen screamed and pointed at Wu meiren. “Wu meiren is hemorrhaging!” “What are you all standing around for? Hurry and carry Wu meiren back to her room!” Ning wang flew into a rage. The servants rushed forward and, working together, lifted Wu meiren and carried her into a side room. […]
