Unforgettable Emperor’s Favor - Chapter 124

At this time, Yu Qingjia also approached. She looked up and saw the person coming, her expression froze for a moment: “You…you are Zhao Jingting?”

“I’m here.” Zhao Jingting has never seen such a good-looking girl, he said, “I’m Zhao Jingting, from Jicheng, Youzhou. I don’t know what the girl is looking for?”

“Oh.” Zhao Jingting watched the pretty girl answer, and the stars in his eyes went out little by little, “I’m sorry, I recognized the wrong person.”

Zhao Jingting was caught off guard, he did not expect such a development to happen next. Yu Qingjia smiled at him apologetically, turned around and left. Zhao Jingting couldn’t help but took a step forward. Before he could react, his body had already reacted: “Girl, stop.”

Yu Qingjia stopped and looked back at him quietly. Under such gazes, Zhao Jingting became nervous: “Girl, my lord, Zhao Jingting, was born in Jicheng, his grandfather was a shepherd of Youzhou, and his father was Marshal of Beiyan Bingma. Dare I ask the girl’s name?”

“General Zhao is polite.” Yu Qingjia smiled politely and said, “I am just an ordinary woman, what name do I talk about? My surname is Yu, and I did not intend to offend the general just now. Please forgive me.”

“Miss Yu, what are you talking about?” Zhao Jingting wanted to ask again, but Yu Qingjia bowed his head and saluted, and walked away without looking back. Zhao Jingting looked at the back of the beauty who was drifting away, feeling lost in his heart.

The servant of the Zhao family saw his little general standing motionless for a long time, and stepped forward to remind him in a low voice: “Little general, you have to leave for Yanzhou tomorrow morning, we should go.”

A few days ago, Zhao Jingting received a transfer order from the imperial court, asking him to go to Yanzhou on business, and he will leave early tomorrow morning. It was precisely because of this that Zhao Jingting left King Guangping’s banquet ahead of time, took a shortcut from the garden and walked out of the mansion, but unexpectedly met a beautiful woman by the water.

The servant repeatedly reminded Zhao Jingting that he could only look away and continue walking outside. He took two steps, couldn’t bear it anymore, left his servants and walked quickly back to the arch bridge. There was no one on the bridge, only the river lanterns swaying slowly with the water waves, and the maidservants in the surrounding corridors came and went like weaving, except for the girl Yu. She is like Luoshen, beautiful and incomparable, she comes quietly and leaves no trace.

Zhao Jingting was so disappointed that he couldn’t express it. Regardless of his abruptness, he grabbed a maid passing by and asked, “Who is that girl who passed the bridge just now?”

The maid felt that this question was absurd, and she sarcastically said: “General, this small bridge is the place where the front yard and garden must pass. In the blink of an eye, I don’t know how many women will pass by. Even if the general wants to ask, he should ask more specifically. Which girl do you mean?”

“It’s the one who is very beautiful.” Zhao Jingting blurted out, and he regretted it after saying it. How could the maidservant think of what kind of feature is beauty.

Zhao Jingting was annoyed that he was confused, he was thinking about what to say, but he didn’t expect that maidservant to say “oh” in a low voice, and said it seriously: “Is the general looking for the sixth lady of the Yu family?”

Zhao Jingting was both surprised and delighted: “Yes, she said her surname is Yu. It turns out that she is the sixth in the family.”

The maid smiled knowingly, and said: “So the general is also sad about the beauty pass. Many gentlemen have already asked Mrs. Liu Liu tonight.”

Zhao Jingting felt sore and astringent for a moment, and couldn’t tell what it was like. The maid held the Zhu Pan and re-entered the world of singing and dancing. Zhao Jingting came down from the bridge and walked towards the side door in silence.

The servant of the Zhao family followed behind Zhao Jingting, seeing Zhao Jingting’s expression, he asked: “Little general, are you still thinking about that woman just now?”

“That’s right.” Zhao Jingting admitted frankly, “When I first saw her, I was shocked. It turns out that she is the famous ‘Poppy’ from the Yu family in Yanzhou. It was difficult to know her surname before, but now that I know her ranking Six, then there is no need to worry. When I come back, I can easily find her. “

The servant clicked his lips and said, “Little General, are you planning to propose marriage?”

“That’s right.” Zhao Jingting said as a matter of course, “She chased after so far. Although she explained later that she had admitted the wrong person, it was just a way for women to talk. Women are reserved by nature, so they rely on this little trick to attract attention. Men’s attention, I’ve seen too many.”

“But, General, you are going to Yanzhou soon…”

“I know.” Zhao Jingting didn’t take it seriously, waved his hands and said, “It’s okay to ask a matchmaker to come back from Yanzhou, and there will be no delay in such a short time. After all, this is really a coincidence, Yanzhou happens to be Yu Liu The lady’s hometown, if she comes to Beijing later, maybe I can see her in Yanzhou.”

Yu Qingjia crossed the floating bridge and walked slowly on the waterfront corridor. She didn’t feel sad at first, but after admitting the wrong person just now, her mood suddenly became very depressed.

She thought she had already seen it, but her physical reaction could not deceive anyone. Just now, she mistakenly thought that the surprise when she saw the vixen, and the disappointment when she found out that she just recognized the wrong person, all reminded her how much she longed to see him in her heart.

She has never realized so clearly for a moment like now how fragile her fate with the vixen is. She didn’t know the vixen’s name, his family background, where he came from, or where he was going. The vixen can find her, but in turn, Yu Qingjia has nothing to do, the only thing she can do is wait.

Not far away, there were singing and singing, and the sound of silk and bamboo was melodious. Yu Qingjia sighed and said: “There are too many people in front, I don’t want to go back, let’s go and sit in the pavilion.”

“yes.”

Yu Qingjia was sitting in the gazebo by the water, with her long skirt snaking on the ground, she rested her chin in one hand, and stared at the water’s edge absently. The sound of feasting came from across the water, as far away as another world.

Yu Qingjia didn’t know how long she sat there, the night wind was getting stronger, and Yu Qingjia was a little cold. Sensing Yu Qingjia’s movements, Bai Rong stepped forward and whispered, “My lady, it’s windy, let’s go back first.”

Yu Qingjia nodded. Judging from this posture, King Guangping’s banquet will last at least until midnight. Yu Qingjia doesn’t want to spend so long with them. She has already shown her face and stayed in the garden for so long, which is enough to give the master face. Yu Qingjia planned to say goodbye, but she didn’t care how long Mrs. Li would stay.

Yu Qingjia stood up and just took two steps when she suddenly heard a noise from the opposite side. This kind of chaos is different from the banquet hall, but like an accident. The maidservants ran up and down, occasionally yelling in panic.

Yu Qingjia stopped and asked, “What happened over there?”

Bai Rong stretched out her head for a look, and said, “I don’t know about it either, it seems to be a matter for the family members. Madam, please wait here, the servants will come as soon as they go.”

Yu Qingjia nodded, and sat back to her original seat to wait for news from Bai Rong. This pavilion is quiet but not remote, there are servants passing by constantly outside, in case something happens, Yu Qingjia only needs to yell to alarm the maids outside, so Yu Qingjia is not afraid to stay alone. Soon Bai Rong came back. Seeing the expression on Bai Rong’s face, Yu Qingjia raised her eyebrows in surprise: “What’s wrong?”

Bai Rong’s expression was strange, and she was quite speechless. She moved closer to Yu Qingjia’s ear and whispered, “Sixth Lady, it’s Liu Ji.”

“Liu Liusu?” Yu Qingjia was really surprised, and she asked, “What’s going on?”

“When Concubine Yu’s servant girl came into the room to light the lamp, she found Liu Ji on the bed, and King Guangping was lying beside her. The two were disheveled. There was already a commotion over there, and Concubine Yu hurried back. When the slaves went to inquire, Concubine Song also Someone was sent to ask.”

In just one sentence, there is a huge amount of information. Liu Liusu and King Guangping got together in Yu Qingya’s yard, and everyone knows it. Yu Qingjia was silent for a long time after listening, not knowing what to sigh.

Previously, Mr. Yu intended to assign Liu Liusu to Yu Wenjun as his successor, but Yu Wenjun strongly opposed it. In the end, the matter was settled, and Liu Liusu became the concubine of the big house instead. However, this matter was just a verbal statement. After Yu Wenjun moved out of Yu’s house directly, Mr. Yu did not have time to go through the relevant ceremony, and Liu Liusu did not consummate the house. In other words, although Liu Liusu assumed the name of a concubine, there was no document to prove it, and he was still a perfect body.

No wonder Liu Liusu must go out with Mrs. Li today, it turned out that she had already planned it. Yu Qingjia was in a complicated mood, shaking her head and smiling. If Liu Liusu insists that she has nothing to do with the Yu family, the Yu family can’t prove that she is a concubine. Even if she is a concubine, it doesn’t matter. Giving concubines is very common in the powerful class, and powerful men don’t think accepting other people’s concubines is an insult. . It’s just that if Liu Liusu bears this name, it will be a little difficult for Liu Liusu to have a son to fight for the name in the future.

Yu Qingya probably never thought that her cousin would give her such a big surprise.

A quarrel suddenly broke out over there, and I couldn’t hear it clearly through the water, but I could only vaguely recognize several people who were arguing. In the end, like pressing a switch, all the sounds stopped abruptly.

Yu Qingjia smiled knowingly, knowing that outsiders would not be able to see what happened next, she stood up contentedly, and walked out leisurely. Yu Qingjia went to bid farewell to the master. When the aunt in charge heard that Yu Qingjia was about to leave, she said, “Sixth lady, wait a moment. This servant will report to the princess.”

After a while, the other party came back in a hurry, and smiled stiffly at Yu Qingjia: “My lady, the princess suddenly feels unwell, and it’s inconvenient to see guests.”

Physical discomfort? Yu Qingjia knew it in her heart, but she didn’t say anything, but said along the way: “It’s okay, since the princess is not feeling well, it is of course the most important thing to recuperate her body. Liu Niang will leave first, and I will visit the princess next time.”

The aunt in charge was absent-minded and nodded indiscriminately. When Yu Qingjia came out of Princess Song’s courtyard and got into the carriage, she took a special look and found that Mrs. Li’s carriage was still there.

The next day, Yu Qingjia sat in front of the mirror to make up, surrounded by several maids. Yinzhu likes to collect gossip the most. She said to Yu Qingjia with a mysterious face: “My lady, guess what happened last night?”

In fact, Yu Qingjia already knew about it, but she still asked cooperatively: “Oh, what’s the matter?”

“Last night, the carriage next door came back very late, but Mrs. Li was the only one. I heard that Mrs. Li was very angry and dropped a whole set of celadon vases.”

Only Mrs. Li came back. It seemed that Liu Liusu’s plan had succeeded. Yu Qingjia asked: “Then what does the Guangping Palace say?”

Yinzhu didn’t know about this kind of thing, and Bai Rong answered, “Mr. Liu didn’t come back because she was left in the palace. I heard that Concubine Yu was very angry last night, and she kept scolding Mrs. Liu for not knowing.” Shame, she also said that she would kick Liu’s family out of the house. Later, Princess Song rushed over. After listening to Liu’s statement, she said very virtuously and magnanimously, the woman the county king likes cannot be left outside. However, Liu Ji used to be a wealthy family. The daughter of the family is not considered humiliating in terms of status, so Princess Song made the decision and left Liu Ji to serve King Guangping. Princess Song also said that Liu Ji and Concubine Yu are related, sisters love each other deeply, and they can support each other when they live together. Therefore, Liu Ji was arranged in the courtyard of Concubine Yu.”

Yu Qingjia let out a chuckle: “Sure enough, Jiang is still old, Princess Song is worrying about not having a chance to control Yu Qingya, and she just gave her a ready-made handle. No wonder Mrs. Li was so angry when she came back yesterday.”

Yinzhu seemed to understand, she didn’t follow her to the banquet last night, so she didn’t know the inside story of Liu Liusu climbing into bed. She had a half-knowledge and asked, “Lady, what are you talking about? Where did Liu Ji go last night?”

Yu Qingjia shook her head, smiled and said nothing: “It has nothing to do with us, dogs bite dogs, let them toss about themselves.”
