Chapter 140: Going out to meet guests

Yu Qingping didn’t get on her horse, and she walked in a hurry.

The squire followed her with his horse at the same pace, glancing sideways at her from time to time, only to see her face swollen and red, not knowing what had happened in the palace, but he didn’t dare to say much.

The city streets were the last place Yu Qingping wanted to come to, since she was a child, Aunt Yao had always told him that if she didn’t work harder to earn a good future, then their future life would not be far from the people in the city streets. So she had always tried to escape from this class!

But at the moment, she felt that she was no different from these commoners, because she had just kicked the iron plate in the palace, Zhao Su was clearly full of abnormalities, she was only trying to remind the emperor, but as a result, the emperor blamed her for reaching out too far!

…… She knew that as an official family member, even as a former retainer, her behavior today had already exceeded the rules, but didn’t Zhao Su talk to him that way just the same?

Zhao Su even forced him to eat shrimp!

Is this not out of line?

Why is she different?

Why is it that everywhere she goes, someone can be different from her?

A pang in her eyes made her vision a little blurry.

“How do you walk? You bumped into me!”

The cursing voice of a passerby came, and she stopped and wiped her eyes.

The escort hurriedly followed her up, “Miss, after walking this street, we will reach our marquis’ residence, why don’t you get on your horse? I will lead you!”

Yu Qingping did not reply. She glanced at the teahouse on the side of the road and walked in to find a table to sit down.

Going back in this state would only be a joke for Yu Qingtong and the others. She definitely wouldn’t let them see the joke!

Thinking of that cold home, her lips pursed up again. Then her hand reached out, from the sleeve to touch out a jasper whistle, in the heart of the hand to rub ……

“Today these satin bought the most beautiful, I’m going to find the best embroiderer in the city to make clothes for me, when the time comes in the Wan Shou Festival to wear!”

The sound of the conversation between the two people who had just sat down at the next table pulled her attention.

–Wan Shou Festival?

Yes, it’s almost May, and the Manju Festival is coming soon.

She turned her head to look over, looking like a pair of master and servant, the master’s family is a fourteen or fifteen year old girl, dressed very well, looking a little familiar, but they are sitting under the window, backlighting makes most of their faces are shrouded in shadow.

Since the emperor ascended the throne, every year’s birthday festival is the festival of the family’s big girls, every this day, but no marriage contract of the age of the young lady, will be in this day dressed up, led by their parents long into the palace to the emperor to wish the birthday. Because in addition to the Emperor’s harem is still empty, there are also many princes and grandchildren will attend.

And every year’s birthday festival, there will be many ministers will take the opportunity to hand in the marriage folders. This year is already the third year, the emperor has turned 20 years old, he can still avoid it?

Thinking about this, the blood in the bottom of her heart surged upward in waves.

–Yes, she just wants to enter the palace, she wants to be the Empress! In addition to that little thought of him in her heart, she wanted power and status! She wants to excel, to stand forever at the head of those who look down on her!

That’s why this year’s birthday festival, she also prepared!

But today, does she still have a chance?

She lowered her head, looked at the jade whistle in her hand again, and clutched it tightly.

……

Zhao Su followed the emperor back to the Qianqing Palace, under the Qianqing Gate eyes signaled the emperor, – for the sake of her cooking such a sumptuous meal today, I wonder if this punishment of hers can be revoked?

But the emperor looked askance at her, threw her a “good guard”, and then went into the hall …….

Zhao Su stood under the door, and in her heart, she cursed him three hundred times in a row for being a dog emperor!

The “dog emperor” honored this afternoon and never went out, let her even a little bit of opportunity to touch fish also did not! Even Pei Zhan and Tong Ou they came to visit, can only make some eye contact!

The good thing is that the noon eat enough, physical strength is still supportive.

After returning to the mansion, before she had time to go back to her room, she was invited to the long room by Jasper in Xing’s room. In addition to Xing’s room, there were Huang’s and Du’s, and all three had a bit of joy on their faces.

Zhao Su got curious: “Is this some good news?”

Xing smiled: “Didn’t you say yesterday that you wanted me and your uncle to look into the matter of renewing your father’s marriage? I’ve already asked your father, he didn’t say no, so that means yes.”

“That’s great.” Zhao Su straightened her back, “But do you have a goal now?”

“That’s not so fast.” The three people looked at each other and smiled, “Although it is to start to open up, that also have to hit the lantern to look carefully ah, always have to take into account the situation of your siblings.”

“Auntie you do things, my brother and I have what do not rest assured!”

Huang smiled: “This girl ah, now this mouth is more and more sweet! I don’t know if it’s honey on the mouth?” Finished and emotionally looked over towards Zhao Su, “When your father’s things are done, it’s your brother’s turn. When your brother gets married, it will be your turn. Time flies, I remember when I first came over, you were just learning to walk!”

“Who says it isn’t?” Du said, “I passed away at the time of the second sister-in-law, really watched her grow up, with their own birth is not much difference.”

Zhao Su hugged their necks, “If you guys keep talking, I’m going to cry!”

Huang smiled and patted her arm: “In a few days, the old master will be arriving in the capital, their family has already sent a post in advance to get together with us, the patriarchs. When the time comes, you will also go, big girl, it’s time to go out for a proper walk.”

Zhao Su said, “Is the old eunuch the late emperor’s teacher, Luo Keng?”

“It’s him. Some years ago they moved to Luoyang ancestral home to live, recently because of the old master joint disease, or decided to move back to the capital.”

Zhao Su nodded. Luo Xian is all the way to support the late emperor to pacify the world’s military adviser, is also the late emperor’s teacher, this person is highly talented, respected, even when Zhang Yu have to honor him as a “wise man”, many people are very convinced him.

Only the children’s luck is not good, only a son and a daughter, the daughter was the emperor of the previous dynasty as a consort, but did not cherish, into the palace for three years to become a victim of palace fighting.

Son thirty just out of his early years, was also killed. Leaving a son and two daughters, now seems to have been raised by the widowed daughter-in-law.

And then linked to Huang said the Luo family handed the post in advance, let a person feel the old master of the heart of the sadness – the only son is not alive, he has been old and frail, grandson should also be very young, this time the family is in a period of green and yellow. With his status in advance to pass the post, it is naturally in the spirit of the family’s future to come ah.

Sure enough, at this time, Huang then said: ”I think that in addition to catching up, I’m afraid that the old master has a deeper meaning. The Luo family’s two daughters are also older, and if they have yet to discuss marriage, then they should have come prepared.”
