Unforgettable Emperor’s Favor

Chapter 122: matchmaking

Bai Zhi seemed to understand, but Yu Qingjia's attitude was like a reassurance. If Yu Qingjia said it was okay, then it was really okay, and Bai Zhi immediately felt relieved. Yu Qingjia sat under the curtain of the bed, Bai Zhi put away the jewelry one by one, blew on the lamp, and quietly closed the door and went out. After Bai Zhi left, the house was quiet, and the clear moonlight shone into the house, casting clear shadows of the window grille on the ground.

Yu Qingjia lay on the bed, thinking of the gossip and gossip among the people in the government and the countryside these days, she couldn't help but heaved a long sigh. She wasn't worried about Yu Qingya, but she was worried about King Guangping.

King Guangping has more brains than Yu Qingya, and is much more difficult to deal with. How terrible it is to predict the opponent's movement and strength in advance, and it can even be said that there is no fairness at all. I don't know if under the influence of Yu Qingya, the historical trend in the dream will be changed. If King Guangping really wins, will the King and Queen of Guangping, after dealing with Yu Qingya, take the Yu family to the next level just in case? Also take the opportunity to get rid of it?

Yu Qingjia thought about it, and couldn't fall asleep after a long time. She opened her eyes and sighed deeply. This was probably the most helpless thing. She wanted to change the tragedy in her dream, but no matter whether King Guangping came to power or the original Son of Destiny, King Langya seized power, the Yu family didn't seem to end well. In comparison, it is probably better for King Langya to be in power, because Yu Qingjia confirmed that the Yu family did not offend him, at least not now. However, King Guangping will inevitably become suspicious of the Yu family.

Yu Qingjia lay on the bed, thinking that she had tried her best. When she set off from Yanzhou, she took advantage of the chaos and made up songs for Bai Rong to spread. She wasn't sure if the song could reach the emperor's grandson's ears, but King Langya was able to hide for five years without revealing anything, gathered an army without saying a word, and kidnapped Old General Geng like a stealthy day. There are many ears and eyes. The imperial court originally planned to execute old general Geng, but suddenly changed his tone, saying that old general Geng Di was still detained in the general's mansion, but no one was allowed to visit. The change of attitude was too abrupt, Yu Qingjia guessed that the old general Geng was probably rescued, and the emperor could only say that the old general was still detained in the palace in order to save face for himself.

I hope King Langya will realize the danger of the situation after hearing that ballad, and then send someone to deal with Yu Qingya. Yu Qingjia didn't have the ability to kill Guangping's beloved concubine silently from thousands of miles away, so she had to leave it to someone capable. If he didn't hear the ballad, or didn't understand the hints in the ballad...then there was nothing Yu Qingjia could do.

Yu Qingjia fell asleep in a daze. When she fell asleep, she was still thinking that she was too generous. In the dream, King Langya destroyed Yu's family. The Yu family's blood feud cannot be cleared away. Even so, she took the risk to quietly remind him that she is the reincarnation of Guanyin Bodhisattva.

Yu Qingjia thought wildly before going to bed, and couldn't sleep peacefully in her dreams. The fragments in the dream were messy and fragmented, as if a mirror had been smashed, and Yu Qingjia only got a glimpse of one or two fragments. The dreams come and go, sometimes she sees herself playing chess with the vixen on the porch, sometimes she sees herself at Yu's house in Yanzhou, holding a cup of tea and waiting to enter. At other times, she saw armored private soldiers, tens of thousands of people were silent, while the ancestral house of the Yu family opposite was eerily quiet.

After Yu Qingjia woke up, many scenes became blurred, but for some reason, she felt inexplicably sad. In the dream, she heard a person whisper, you missed the appointment.

That voice was calm and slow, but there was a shocking darkness and sadness suppressed in it, as if it would tear the sky apart as soon as it relaxed. Yu Qingjia didn't know why she had this kind of dream, and what was even more strange was that she obviously didn't see that person, but this sadness spread to her, and she wanted to cry just listening to it.

Who missed the appointment? What missed appointment?

Because of this dream, Yu Qingjia was sluggish all day and couldn't cheer up anything. Seeing her dismal, Bai Zhi secretly worried, trying to make Yu Qingjia happy.

"Miss, you just came to Yecheng, and you didn't go out to take a good look. The concierge received many invitations, madam, would you like to pick one?"

Yu Qingjia barely cheered up and said, "Take it here."

Among the stack of invitations, Yu Qingjia noticed one of them at a glance. She pulled it out and read: "Guangping Palace Concubine Song."

It was actually sent by Song Shi, Princess of Guangping. Yu Qingjia opened the post, glanced quickly, and asked, "When was this invitation sent?"

"Just now, the nurse next to Princess Guangping personally delivered it, and the concierge is planning to tell the lady." Seeing Yu Qingjia's serious face, Bai Zhi asked tentatively, "My lady, are you planning to go to the banquet?"

"King Guangping's wind-sending banquet was delivered by the people around her personally, who would dare not go?" Yu Qingjia threw the gold-plated post on the table, frowned for a while, and asked, "Did the next door receive it? "

Bai Rong went out for a while, and when she came back, she said: "Mrs. Li also received it, but it was sent by the side concubine. This morning, King Guangping asked the emperor for orders to take command of the rebel army. The sacred heart was very happy, and in front of all civil and military officials He praised King Quang Binh, and said that King Quang Binh could be of great use. According to gossip from the palace, the emperor went to see the queen after going to court, and praised King Quang Binh specifically. gone."

The maidservants all gave a small "ah" sound, Yinzhu didn't understand government affairs, and asked according to her own understanding: "That is to say, if King Guangping has a son, he can be made a prince by the emperor? That's really true." It's a pity that such a good opportunity was missed."

"Not necessarily." Bai Rong looked very calm, and said, "No heir is indeed a problem, but King Guangping is still young, even if the concubine cannot give birth, there will be opportunities for concubine Ji to give birth to the concubine in the future. If the emperor really wants to It doesn't matter whether you have children or not."

Yinzhu was said to be confused, she scratched her head, puzzled: "Then what does the emperor mean?"

Yu Qingjia has been letting the maids discuss political affairs. When she heard this, Yu Qingjia coughed and said: "The holy heart is unpredictable, how can we know what the emperor thinks? Since the emperor intends to make King Guangping the crown prince, then Princess Song's Invitation, we have to accept."

The maids stopped the topic, and Bai Zhi turned to discussing Yu Qingjia's attire on the day of the banquet with great interest. After listening to them talk for a while, Yu Qingjia quietly got up and left.

After a while, Bai Rong came out, holding an umbrella in his hand. "My lady, it might rain tonight, so don't go too far."

"Yeah." Yu Qingjia responded, and asked Bai Rong to follow, walking slowly in the courtyard. It didn't take long for the wind to get stronger, and there really were raindrops falling with the wind. Bai Rong held up an umbrella for Yu Qingjia, and said in a low voice, "My lady, the slave has already delivered what you want to pass on."

Yu Qingjia knew that Bai Rong was talking about Ge Yao. She only maintains five points of trust in Bai Rong, but she is absolutely at ease when she asks Bai Rong to do things. The vixen said that Bai Rong and Bai Lu belonged to him, and Yu Qingjia didn't know where he found him, so naturally he couldn't trust him wholeheartedly, but there was no conflict of interest in what she asked Bai Rong to do, and Yu Qingjia could still trust this.

After Bai Rong finished speaking, she silently followed behind Yu Qingjia. Yu Qingjia asked her to spread the song, and specifically signaled her to spread it among the street refugees. Bai Rong thought to herself that there was no need for such trouble, if Miss Six wanted to pass it on to the young master, then she would just pass it on directly, and there was no need to let the refugees spread.

Before the young master left, he specifically asked Bai Rong to carefully protect Miss Six's safety, especially when it comes to food and water. Bai Rong saw the colorless, odorless and invisible poison that killed people, and her previous cognition was completely overturned. She was vigilant in her heart, and she dared not be negligent. Bai Rong didn't know what the young master had noticed and why he was so worried about Miss Six's safety, but since the young master ordered it, Bai Rong would only do it unconditionally.

As for Yu Qingya, Bai Lu has been watching closely, and Bai Rong is not worried. She believes that the son must have his own arrangements.

"My lady, do you want to go to the banquet at the Guangping Palace?"

"Naturally." Yu Qingjia stopped under the eaves to watch the rain, and stretched out his hand to catch the rainwater outside the verandah. "The princess personally invited, or the wind blowing banquet of King Guangping, who has a chance to become the prince because of the rumors in the palace, why not go?"

Just now Bai Rong said that it was just a cover for the emperor not to make King Guangping the crown prince because he had no heirs. Yu Qingjia thought it was reasonable, but he could only half agree. It might have been a pretense before, but when King Guangping took Yu Qingya's information and personally captured King Langya and came back, he might have a bargaining chip to negotiate for the crown prince. The father and son in the royal family have been fighting for a long time, and now the emperor suddenly praised the eldest prince and said such words as the crown prince. It can only be that King Guangping reported the serious troubles of a certain confidant of the emperor, and issued a military order to arrest him.

In this way, one can imagine how lively King Guangping's wind blowing banquet will be.

The rain was a little cold, Yu Qingjia withdrew her hand, her fingers had been washed as cold as jade. She wiped off the water from her fingertips with a handkerchief, and said, "Let's go, let's go back to the room."

The banquet at the Guangping Palace was very grand, and the Yu family who had just arrived in Beijing was also invited, but the invitations they received were slightly different. Yu Qingjia received the invitation from Princess Song, but Mrs. Li was sent by Yu Qingya.

Ermao Yu is old and has been out of the world for many years, so she has long since stopped caring about these banquets. Yu Qingjia didn't have a mother or sister, so she could only set up a car by herself and go out alone. Putting it in someone else's house, the eldest aunt Li should take on the responsibility of female elders and lead Yu Qingjia out, but Li and Yu Qingjia don't know each other now, and neither of them wants to talk to each other, so the two walk separately by default, even the time is not enough. is staggered.

Yu Qingjia, Yu Qingya, and Li Shi have long been torn apart, but everyone is pampered, and years of upbringing have prevented them from doing things such as putting on cold faces in front of them. Usually they don't get in touch with each other, but when they have to meet outside, they can maintain a cold face, or take the opportunity to insinuate each other a few words, and strive to suppress the other party's momentum.

When Yu Qingjia arrived at the Guangping Palace, the front of the Palace was already bustling with guests. When Yu Qingjia got out of the car, she thought that there were so many people, no one would notice her. That's good, she can go back if she just messes around. Thinking this way, Yu Qingjia just stood still when a meticulously combed nanny came over and greeted Yu Qingjia: "Is this the sixth lady of the Yu family?"

Yu Qingjia sighed inwardly, but still smiled and replied, "It's me. What's the matter, Mammy?"

Nanny's eyes swept over Yu Qingjia's body quickly, and there was a hint of surprise in her eyes. She quickly regained her composure, and said firmly, "My concubine has an invitation, Miss Six, please come with me."

When Princess Song of Guangping saw Yu Qingjia, she was as surprised as her nanny.

There is no other reason, it is that Miss Six is ​​too beautiful. Concubine Song thinks she is well-informed, she has seen many beauties in these years, the Murong royal family is first-class in appearance and good in body, and under the multiplication of power, the young women who pounce on them are like crucian carp crossing the river, innumerable. Princess Song has always felt that a beautiful skin is nothing but icing on the cake, it can only be better. In reality, what really works is the power in hand and the family background behind it. Concubine Song has always been virtuous and generous to Mei Ji in the mansion, since the men like it, then take it back and put it there to watch, it is no different from a vase or a jade carving.

Concubine Song had met Yu Qingya before, she had preconceived ideas, she thought that Concubine Yu's younger sister was just a little bit pretty, no different from those beauties in the past. But when Princess Song saw Yu Qingjia walk into the door and bowed her head to salute her, Princess Song's eyes were stabbed severely.

After recovering, Princess Song smiled wryly. It turned out that the reason why she felt that there was no difference between beauties was because she hadn't seen the real beauties.

Yu Qingjia greeted Princess Song, and then stood calmly. The light in the room was dim, and there was a smell of medicine everywhere. The princess was wearing a blue wide-sleeved deep dress, with an embroidered forehead guard on her forehead. Although her face was white, it had an unhealthy blue color. She was leaning on the slum, with a thick embroidered cushion under her body. She was extremely sick and weak, and with the dim light around her, she became even more depressed.

Princess Song seemed to be in a daze for a while, but she quickly realized that she smiled and asked the maid to show her the seat. Yu Qingjia repeatedly declined, but she still couldn't hold back Princess Song, and was placed in the position next to Princess Song.

Princess Song held Yu Qingjia's hand, and kindly asked her about the dates of her birth and death, what she had seen and heard on the road, and whether she was used to living in Yecheng. Yu Qingjia didn't like to have too close contact with strangers, so she took the opportunity to answer and calmly withdrew her hand.

Princess Song's nanny noticed it, and her eyebrows furrowed unconsciously, but Princess Song herself still smiled kindly and amiably.

Concubine Song said: "I have heard from Concubine Yu that her sixth younger sister from her natal family is extremely beautiful. When I saw her today, she really looked like a celestial being. I have lived for so many years. I have lived for so many years, but I have only met such a fairy as Miss Yu Liu today." figure."

Yu Qingjia smiled lightly, and declined: "The princess is absurd, you are too praised."

Princess Song looked at Yu Qingjia, not missing the slightest change in Yu Qingjia's expression. Princess Song is a little disappointed for some reason. She thinks she has a good background. The daughter of the Song family has been brought up according to the standards of the mistress from birth, and she is definitely not shallow-sighted. Compete for favor and compare who gets her praise and reward. However, in Yu Qingjia's case, Princess Song's words were so straightforward, and Yu Qingjia was still flattered and humiliated. She was neither agitated by the concubine's praise, nor showed arrogance and arrogance. The first sister of her natal family.

Concubine Song covered her lips with a handkerchief and coughed twice. After she had recovered her breath, she put down the handkerchief and smiled weakly: "Look at my body, when I don't feel good all day. Sometimes I really envy Yu Concubine, my parents dote on me. , My body is strong enough, and I can help the prince a lot. But I can't, even if I have the heart, my body doesn't have the strength."

Yu Qingjia didn't strike up a conversation easily, but just said with a smile: "The princess is worrying too much, you just need to rest easy and recuperate, there is no need to worry about anything else."

Princess Song saw that she was going around, she was trying to win and show weakness, Yu Qingjia still didn't answer a word, she couldn't help but feel a little annoyed. Concubine Song thought about it for a while, and decided not to go around in circles, but to get a big one directly. She said: "Concubine Yu always mentions her sixth sister. I met the real Liu Niangzi today, and I really like her. I wish you were my own sister, so that I can keep you by my side every day. Listen It is said that Liu Niang is not engaged yet, so I wonder if Liu Niang has a favorite husband?"

After Princess Song finished speaking, without waiting for Yu Qingjia's reaction, she immediately threw out a second shock: "I heard from Concubine Yu the day before yesterday that the sixth younger sister seems to be very concerned about General Zhao. Otherwise, this princess will be a matchmaker, please The queen gave you two marriages?"
