The Empress Dowager Refuses After fussing over Yao Xi for ages, how could Wan Bi's arms not be sore? She'd only carried Yao Xi a couple of steps before losing the strength to tease her, and had to set her down gently. "Let's take a palanquin back." Yao Xi snickered. She'd thought Her Highness's energy was truly inexhaustible! "No! I want Your Highness to carry me back!" Yao Xi's feet were already on the ground, but her arms remained locked around the Empress Dowager's neck, being a shameless brat.…-

Final Chapter (Part 2) Over a month had passed, and the Mid-Autumn Festival was fast approaching. The hostas and begonias in the back garden were in full bloom. Yao Xi had gone out early that morning to pick some begonias for a vase, set them on the desk in the study, and laid out paper and ground her ink, preparing to paint. Thanks to Her Highness's guidance these past days, her calligraphy and painting had improved greatly, and Shuanglan-jiejie came often to teach her needlework and embroidery.…

The Empress Dowager Refuses "This slave-girl will have a palanquin prepared at once," the palace maid said frantically. Wan Bi stopped her with a sharp command. "Prepare a palanquin for what? Prepare a carriage!" A palanquin would be too slow — it might be dark by the time they reached Qianqing Palace. Dealing with those Eastern Depot people was only a matter of time. The urgent priority was rescuing Yao Xi. She planned to go straight to Qianqing Palace and have the Emperor issue a decree…

The Empress Dowager Refuses When Yao Xi woke the next day, she discovered she was wrecked — her entire body ached. She'd done a few dozen push-ups in the study before bed the previous night, then soaked in Lanye Pool with the Empress Dowager for a while. Yet here she was, so sore she couldn't even lift her arms. She thought back to her days serving at the Bureau of Imperial Gardens, when she'd haul boxes weighing dozens of jin in and out every day without a problem. Exercise really was something…

Final Chapter (Part 3) At the Zi hour, initial quarter, the Yao Residence was ablaze with lamplight, the sound of conversation ceaseless. Elders from across the clan had hurried to the Yao Residence to host a welcome feast for Yao Hezheng, who had just arrived in the capital. The clan head, delighted, drank himself thoroughly drunk and gripped Yao Hezheng's hand tight, prattling on: "It's good you're back, it's good you're back! For generations upon generations in the Yao family, you're the first to…

The Empress Dowager Refuses That morning, Wan Bi had indeed gone to Qianqing Palace. She'd only been putting on a show for Yao Xi's benefit, so the girl wouldn't feel guilty about delaying her business. As it happened, after the morning court session ended, the Emperor hadn't returned to Qianqing Palace. She couldn't be bothered to ask where he'd gone — didn't even stay for a sip of tea — and hurried back with her retinue, wanting to return early to look after Yao Xi. Yet when she was only a…

The Empress Dowager Refuses "Your Majesty, please calm your wrath. Yao Xi is, after all, from Ning'an Palace. Should we not inform the Empress Dowager?" Tang Huaili still thought Yao Xi was Yao Xian. He had never believed that just because Lord Yao was an upright man, his son couldn't possibly commit such bestial acts. A tiger father may have a dog son. Lord Yao was Lord Yao, and Yao Xian was Yao Xian. He risked his life to speak up for Yao Xi only because he had seen rope burns on her wrists. She…

Extra 1 His Majesty × Dali In past years, no matter how busy Emperor Ming Cheng was, he would always visit Ning'an Palace to spend some time with Wan Bi during Mid-Autumn. It wasn't that the palace lacked a Mid-Autumn family banquet, but Wan Bi never attended. For someone with no parents, no children, and no family, Mid-Autumn was hardly a festive occasion. In years past, he had kept her company out of sympathy and pity. This year was different. He hadn't attended the palace's Mid-Autumn…

The Empress Dowager Refuses Emperor Ming Cheng could not believe what he was hearing. Furious, he raised his hand and slapped Feng Zhen hard across the face, snarling, "What leverage does Meng Delai hold over you? You would rather ruin your own reputation and cost someone their life than tell Us?" This was the first time he had ever struck Feng Zhen. He himself had never known a father's love from the Late Emperor, and after having children, he had tried his utmost to be a good father. The Late…

Extra 2 Longyi × Shuanglan (Childhood) A few days after the Mid-Autumn Festival, Longyi packed up and moved into her newly purchased private residence outside the palace. Stepping down from the horse carriage, she stared for a while at the Yao Residence across the street, its main gates shut tight. The corners of her eyes drooped with disappointment, and the excitement and joy she had felt on the ride over faded considerably. Counting carefully, she and Shuanglan hadn't seen each other in over…
