Emperor Wei Jing was not as solemn and majestic as Empress Zhou, but he was casual and peaceful, but there was a faint sense of oppression between his brows.
Yu Qingwu's body tensed up, like a wooden sculpture standing in place. He didn't speak and didn't dare to move casually. He only secretly cast his eyes on Xie Jinyan.
Xie Jinyan seemed to have been used to it for a long time. He pulled Yu Qingwu and motioned for her to sit down, then smiled back at Emperor Wei Jing.
"Father, you are joking. This is the first time Yu Liangdi has seen you."
"Perhaps it's because she looks a bit similar to Shen Baolin?"
Xie Jinyan sat on a chair in the hall and said something else with a smile on his face.
The Shen Baolin mentioned by Xie Jinyan is the Qiu family's legitimate daughter. She was also the Qiu family's heartthrob. Ten years ago, in order to consolidate the honor of the Duke of Rongguo, she was sent to the palace to select a concubine, thinking that she could become a noble concubine and queen. What a glorious family.
It's a pity that there are so many beauties and talents in the palace. Ten years have passed, and Shen Baolin is still Shen Baolin. He seems to be a transparent person in the huge palace.
If Xie Jinyan hadn't mentioned it today, Emperor Wei Jing would have almost forgotten that there was such a person in the palace.
He touched his nose and thought carefully for a while. Shen Baolin's Xiaojiabiyu face appeared in his mind. He looked at Yu Qingwu's bright and aggressive face, and waved to Xie Jinyan, "No, it's not."
Emperor Wei Jing frowned, and while talking to Xie Jinyan, he still squinted his eyes and stared at Yu Qingwu's face.
"Hey! I remembered!" Just when Yu Qingwu was being stared at more and more nervously, Emperor Wei Jing suddenly slapped his thigh and shouted outside the palace, "Yu Qi, come in."
As soon as Emperor Wei Jing finished speaking, he heard a slight sound of footsteps coming from outside.
Not long after, the chamberlain Yu who was outside the Zichen Hall walked in.
He quietly glanced at Xie Jinyan and Yu Qingwu, then quickly walked to Emperor Wei Jing, half-bowed, and asked with a smile, "What are your orders, Your Majesty?"
Emperor Wei Jing sat cross-legged on the couch, pointed to the position beside Yu Qingwu, and told Yu Qi with a smile, "Yu Qi, stand over."
Hearing this, Yu Qi looked confused and slowly stood next to Qing Wu.
Emperor Wei Jing touched his chin and looked at the two of them carefully.
Finally, his eyes were fixed on Qing Wu, as if he had discovered some shocking secret, and he said to Xie Jinyan, "Lao Wu, look, is this Yu Liangdi somewhat similar to Yu Qisheng?"
Emperor Wei Jing's words made Yu Qingwu suddenly realize.
Yes, no wonder she just felt that this chambermaid looked familiar.
However, she felt that Chamberlain Yu seemed more like... her eldest brother who died in the fire.
His surname is Yu? Could it be that his brother has a pseudonym...
That day, her brother's body was burned to the point of being almost unrecognizable. It was only with the help of the jade pendant that she and her mother dared to confirm that the body was that of her brother.
Countless ridiculous speculations flashed through Yu Qingwu's mind, but in the end, they were all rejected.
If her brother were still alive, why wouldn't he come to look for her?
"What my father is saying is that when you mention it like this, I also feel that Liang Di is indeed somewhat similar to Yu Nei." Qing Wu laughed at himself, but Xie Jinyan's artificial and surprised voice came to his ears.
With a bit of a smile on her lips, Yu Qi bowed back to Emperor Wei Jing, "Your Majesty has praised me. I am an eunuch. How can I dare to compare with Liang Di? Your Majesty, please don't try to destroy me."
Compared with Emperor Wei Jing and Xie Jinyan, who were both kings and princes, he looked more dignified and steady.
Every move he makes is as gentle as jade.
If he hadn't become a eunuch in the palace, he would have been the dream lover of countless young ladies with his appearance and demeanor.
What a pity...
Yu Qingwu sighed in his heart, and couldn't help but look at Yu Qi secretly.
Yu Qi seemed to have noticed her gaze, but she didn't make any move, maintaining her upright posture.
Emperor Wei Jing glanced at him briefly, and joked rather disappointedly, "You are so strict."
"Okay, let's get down."
After finishing speaking, Emperor Wei Jing turned his eyes to Yu Qingwu again. Seeing that she seemed very nervous, he called her again and started chatting about home affairs.
They all asked about her hobbies and specialties, and then mentioned Yu Qingwu’s donation of family property, praising her as a good daughter-in-law of the Xie family. Finally, she gave a few words of advice, saying that Xie Jinyan’s previous brothers already had children.
, hoping that they could let him hug his grandson earlier. Seeing that it was noon, they went to Tai Chi Hall to have lunch together.
The dinner on New Year's Eve is considered formal, but the luncheon is also quite lively.
When we arrived at the palace, before the ceremony, all the concubines and nobles had already sat down according to their respective positions.
Qiu Shiyi Niang got special permission and sat in front of the queen.
In order, they are all Concubine Liu, Concubine Xian and Concubine Shu.
The rest of the concubines, who either had low status or were not favored, all sat in the central position.
Yu Qingwu and Xie Jinyan also sat at the front, opposite You Wanwan and Xie Qiyun.
When they saw her, both of them looked unhappy, but they still pretended to be kind.
Especially Xie Qiyun, after being scolded by You Wanwan for no apparent reason, he felt very angry.
With a flash of viciousness in his eyes, Xie Qiyun suddenly stood up and walked slowly towards Xie Jinyan and Yu Qingwu.
He bowed first, then greeted Xie Jinyan with a smile, "Fifth brother, I haven't seen you for a few days."
"This...is your newly adopted Liangdi, right?" Xie Qiyun seemed to deliberately raise his voice.
As he spoke, he looked at Yu Qingwu again, smiled kindly, but said with a strange tone, "Don't tell me, my sister-in-law is really beautiful. I heard that my sister-in-law can also make rouge, she is really versatile. No wonder the fifth brother insisted on that day.
Be loved..."
"Um, no, look what I said." Xie Qiyun patted his mouth, as if he didn't mean it.
It's really a small-minded, back-home style.
Just like this... still fighting with Xie Jinyan?
A hint of sarcasm flashed across Yu Qingwu's eyes, and Xie Jinyan chuckled.
"Brother doesn't have to hesitate and cover up for his younger brother. Just say what you want."
"Yes, Liang Di was indeed engaged to Shen Ke in the past, and Gu Ye did use some tricks to win her over. In life, you should make yourself more comfortable and happy. It doesn't matter if you bear some infamy.
, it is better than marrying someone you don’t love for profit, but secretly having sex with the one you love..."
???
surreptitiously!
Who did the eldest prince sneak around with?
In an instant, except for the few princesses and concubines who were in Fengzao Palace, everyone around them was shocked and turned their attention to Xie Qiyun.
Xie Qiyun was stunned, and his eyes that were still smiling a moment ago suddenly burst into anger, and he sternly retorted to Xie Jinyan, "You... fifth brother! Don't talk nonsense! I have always been innocent! I have never done anything like that."
"Big Brother, what are you talking about? You didn't say you were sneaking around with others? What's your reaction?"
The air suddenly fell into dead silence. This chapter has been completed!
