Chapter 193 heart qi
Kowtowing to the emperor to pay respect to the emperor is also a batch, several marquis’ female family members together, kneeling down in front of the Hall of Supreme Harmony.
Zhao Su raised his eyes when he got up, the hall was dark, there were too many people standing, next to the inside and outside are standing ministers and ritual officials, although you can see the emperor sitting on the dragon chair in the center, but you can only see the body, you can’t see the face, the guards led by Han Jun are three steps to a post, five steps to a sentry post, don’t even mention looking for an opportunity to quietly hand over the birthday gift.
Zhao Su is the first time to personally see such a scene, in the past, almost like a neighboring brother of the emperor at this moment high above, and she is separated by a wide class gap, can not help but say that the monarchy’s strictness at this time has been fully embodied. The feeling of being in a high position overlooking all the people must be good, but it would be hard for people to let go of their defenses.
“It’s time to pay respects to the Empress Dowager.”
I don’t know who mentioned it from the side.
Zhao Su turned her head, only to see Marquis Jingnan’s wife standing at the head of her left, and following her, sure enough, Yu Qingping was among them. Last time in the palace to the Empress Dowager Lu, she was dressed in gorgeous and delicate, today in the full of the palace city beads surrounded by the ladies, she is the opposite of the way, only a lotus root color dress, bun inserted a branch of phoenix hairpin, and then with two bead flowers only. The rest of the body is only a jade bracelet on the wrist, waist a jade ring.
But her breasts are high, a look of independence.
Yao greeted Marquis Jingnan’s wife, and the other young ladies of the Yu family also came to greet Zhao Su. Yu Qingping didn’t even look at Zhao Su and walked away.
The He family should not have investigated her head, but the whereabouts of Mrs. Liu is still unknown, in all likelihood, she is still in Zhao Su’s hands, Zhao Su is a madman, she does not want to take care of her, especially today, such an occasion, in case she messes with her, and if she yells out something, she will be finished. Even if she wanted to clean her up, she had to wait for her men to find out where Sister Liu was being held and get her out.
“Qing Ping!”
As she walked up the corridor, a familiar shout came from behind her. Yu Qingping suddenly frowned, and only after the impatience that had arisen in her eyes was pressed back did she turn back, “It’s you.”
Liang Ying, who was dressed in his son’s uniform today, had an elegant appearance and walked over, “Why are you alone? Where are the Yu family?”
“Oh, I was about to go look for them.”
Yu Qingping looked around with her remaining light. She did not want to see him at this moment, much less talk to him and attract the attention of bystanders.
Liang Ying said, “The imperial garden is open today, I will accompany you for a walk.”
“I still have to go to Ci Ning Palace with my first mother and the girls to pay respects to the Empress Dowager, how can I go at this moment?”
Liang Ying paused, then said, “Then I’ll come back to you, after today, our marriage should also be on the agenda, I want to discuss with you first.”
Yu Qingping’s heart trembled: “Why rush in today? Let’s talk about it later.”
After saying this, she was about to turn around.
Liang Ying grabbed her wrist, “You seem to be avoiding me?”
Yu Qingping’s face changed and she pulled her hand back, “What do you want to do in public?”
Liang Ying pulled her hand back only subconsciously, seeing her sudden change of face, his eyes paused for a moment on her angry face, he also retracted his stance and stood up straight: “I don’t want to do anything. But you look like you’re guarding against me.”
Yu Qingping was speechless. Although she didn’t think much of Liang Ying, she knew that there were still many people who thought that this Guangping Bo’s son had a good background and was a young man of great talent, and that he acted in a meticulous manner, and had always been utilized by the emperor, and that he was very popular. Weekdays he is also high above the top of the eye, so not easily entangled with people, at the moment she reprimanded him to stand straight back, face floating a piece of detachment, Yu Qingping heart in turn is not down to earth.
She has never been pinpointed by anyone, take who has practiced, Liang Ying is just bumped into her hands, she took the opportunity to perfume him a hand. Who would have thought that he would be so attached to her verbal promise of marriage to forget, if she did not succeed today, how will it end?
She swallowed saliva, served a soft: “I do not have the intention to get rid of you, you know we practice martial arts people, has always been more alert, just now I thought ……”
“Thought I was going to be rude to you?”
Liang Ying look between the more and more cold, Yu Qingping even heard a hint of sarcasm.
Each other privately have said to talk about marriage people, as if indeed what excuse can not explain the reaction of the party. But from the beginning to the end of the person who proposed to get engaged is not him? What qualifies him to be cynical? After all, there was no engagement, so could she not refuse his approach?
“Ying’er.”
At the time when Yu Qingping was full of indignation, a kind female voice came from far away, she looked up and saw Mrs. Guangping Bo, Liang Ying’s mother, walking towards her! The anger in Yu Qingping’s heart immediately turned into panic ……
“You guys are talking here?” Mrs. Guangping Bo looked at them with a smile, and then her eyes fell on Yu Qingping, “I haven’t seen sister Ping for a few days, how have you been doing? If you have time, come and sit at our home, I think our home is too cold, if you don’t want to see outsiders, come and nag me.”
Uncle Guangping was a general with real power, as his wife, extending such an invitation to a concubine’s young lady was often a very decent thing to do. But Yu Qingping only felt harsh, the corners of her mouth pulled, curtsied and saluted, then looked at the ground and said “set to go”, then she didn’t know what to say.
Mrs. Guangping Bo looked at Yu Qingping for a while, and then said to Liang Ying: “Then you guys can talk, I still have a companion waiting in front of me.”
Liang Ying saw her mother leave and said to Yu Qingping, “Is there something wrong with you lately? I don’t think you’re quite right.”
“What could be wrong with me? Don’t be so paranoid all day long!”
Yu Qingping didn’t want to talk to him anymore and turned her back, but when she looked up, she happened to see Yu Qingtong from Marquis Jingnan’s residence standing not far away with her maid, looking towards herself and Liang Ying with a probing light in her eyes.
Without waiting for Yu Qingping to react more, Yu Qingtong had already walked over and looked at Liang Ying with a sweet smile, “I said, who is big sister talking to? It turns out that she was talking to Big Brother Liang. Doesn’t Big Brother Liang have to work today? That’s a coincidence, just now my second brother said that he wanted to find someone to join him in celebrating the Emperor’s birthday!”
Liang Ying retracted his gaze from Yu Qingping and turned to Yu Qingtong, without uttering a word, he nodded and left.
Yu Qingtong watched Liang Ying go away and then looked at Yu Qingping, “What was big sister talking to big brother Liang about? Why did he leave as soon as he saw me?”
“What does it have to do with you?”
Yu Qingping also withdrew her gaze from Liang Ying’s back, then gave her a sidelong glance and walked away as well.
Only Yu Qingtong was left stomping her feet in annoyance at the same spot, rushing at her back and letting out a vicious remark, “All you know how to do all day long is to put a face in front of me, so don’t fall into my hands if you’re capable of doing so!”
