Bei Li's expression finally changed, and his eyes seemed to dodge even though he was silent.
When Qing'er saw it, she felt even more confident and asked with a smile: "Is it true? Is it true? I am not a member of the world. I don't believe in the rumors in the world. I only believe in what I see. Miss Beili maintains her own identity, but the little woman's
You can't hide your posture no matter how hard you look. This woman is praised by all the stars, but she still wants a family. I'm from here, and I never thought about really liking a man before I met my husband, let alone
I got married. But when that time comes, it’s not up to me. Comparing now and before, I’m glad for my original decision. I’ve made many requests today, and I hope Miss Beili won’t have any regrets.”
"Madam, Beili thanks you for your kindness, but this matter is too long ago. Let's talk about the future later. I have important things today, so how about we wait until today to talk about it?"
"Things don't happen in the near future. The girl's excuses are just because she can't see through my husband's thoughts. Don't worry, girl. If it hadn't been for my husband's clear instructions today, I wouldn't have come here to tell her this."
Hearing this, Beili looked back at Qing'er again, with a bit of surprise in his eyes: "What does this mean?"
"My husband-in-law hopes that Miss Beili can stay in the palace forever and live together."
"...That's nonsense, how could things be like this?" Beili had a straight face and his tone was a little higher, but his heart was speeding up uncontrollably.
"It's absolutely true. It's a matter of great importance. If I don't have any intention of marrying you, how can I dare to come and talk to you? Even if the girl is a member of the world, there is no need to follow any secular etiquette. As long as the girl agrees, everything will fall into place."
Beili frowned. After a moment of silence, he swung his sleeves heavily and pushed the door open. He was obviously angry and didn't want to talk anymore.
"Girl, please think about it again."
"Madam, please respect yourself." Beili turned around and said harshly.
Qing'er is not afraid of the other party being angry.
Given the other party's level of cultivation, if you can make her angry, you will have to listen sincerely, which is better than a gentle rejection.
Qing'er didn't back down and continued to pester.
Beili pretended to be fierce. When he saw Qing'er continuing to chatter, he wanted to drive her away several times, but in the end he held back and just let her talk beside him.
…
Today is the Alchemy Conference, and people from all over the place are rushing to Qintian Prison.
The morning court was cancelled, and some officials went to Qin Tian Prison early to wait for the ceremony.
Zhang Liang, as the Minister of Industry, was also one of the officials invited to watch the ceremony today.
He went out today, but encountered trouble at the door of his home.
Hearing that Bai Song was also at the Alchemy Conference, Miss Zhang forced her father to take her in.
If not, they will seek death and survival in the room.
Speaking of this daughter, Zhang Liang had no choice.
Yesterday, Bai Song made a good promise and asked his daughter to meet. Unexpectedly, he was detained in the palace by the emperor and did not come out. As a result, his daughter had to wait all night and her eyes were swollen from crying.
After crying all night, she suspected that her father was deliberately deceiving her, so she wanted to find Bai Song at the Alchemy Conference and ask in person why he was not there last night.
Today's Alchemy Conference is a big event. All the people coming in and out are high-profile people in the capital. How can any officials go with their families?
But Zhang Yuhan kept crying and would rarely be beaten or scolded. The relationship between his daughter and Bai Song was unpredictable.
I wonder if my daughter can still fight now?
There was no other way. Seeing that he was running out of time, Zhang Liang asked his daughter to change into men's clothes and follow his team.
The team had just set off. On the way to the imperial city, someone on a carriage opened the curtain.
Lu Yuanyuan raised his hands towards Zhang Liang from a distance: "Master Zhang, please be morning."
Zhang Liang was admiring the scenery along the way, but when he saw Lu Yao, he turned his face and closed the car curtain coldly.
Lu Yao was eager for quick success and had a bad reputation in the court. Although his official position was not high, he was in favor of Princess Danyang and his status was quite high.
Zhang Liang didn't want to have anything to do with this person, so he ignored him.
Lu Yao didn't care. He smiled and asked the driver to continue walking.
In the car, Yu Ji laughed and said: "Master Lu seems to be unpopular in the court."
"Some veterans, half of their bodies have already been buried. They know that they can't resist destiny, so they should treat young officials like us with a cold shoulder. However, there is no need to care about the gains and losses in the day. You should know who should deal with whom in the future."
"I promised Yu Qingqing long ago to take her to the Alchemy Conference. Today we left her and secretly left. How will I explain when I go back?"
"Don't worry, she won't blame you if she finds out what happened today." Lu Yao said with certainty.
"Why are you so sure?"
Lu Yao smiled and said nothing. After a while, he patted Yu Ji on the shoulder: "Anyway, just don't be greedy for the excitement today."
"What do you mean? Is there something going on?"
"Don't say it, don't say it."
As soon as the carriage arrived at the gate of the imperial city, the number of guards at each gate was several times that of before, and the crowds of people entering and exiting seemed extremely crowded.
Yu Ji looked at it and frowned: "It's so blocked, how can we get in? Isn't it possible that we will miss the conference today?"
"If you really missed it, maybe it's a good thing." Lu Yao muttered softly.
This was not heard by Yu Ji. He noticed an old monk mixed in among the group of Taoist priests and couldn't help laughing: "Hey, look at that man! All the people participating in this alchemy conference are Taoist priests. Why is there still a monk here?"
Inside? Are today’s monks also learning to make alchemy?"
Lu Yao looked at the old monk, only his back, and couldn't help but frown.
Suddenly, a person opened the car curtain: "Lu Yao, why are you still here? Come down quickly!"
Outside, Hou Junji stared at the car with a serious face, his eyes sweeping over Yu Ji without stopping too much.
Lu Yao patted Yu Ji and said, "I'm at work, please be more careful."
Before Yu Ji could react, Lu Yao had already gotten out of the car.
"Be more careful? Shouldn't it be to take care of yourself?"
Yu Ji finally realized that something was fishy. Lu Yao had given hints many times along the way.
"Lu Yao is telling me not to go to the Alchemy Conference? Will there be danger today?"
Yu Ji was thinking about it in the car, feeling that Lu Yao's personality was not the kind of person who liked playing riddles.
If I say these words today, something really big must have happened, otherwise I wouldn't have been reminded so many times in subtle ways.
At this time, the guard at the door came over and asked, "Show me your name tag."
Everyone who was invited to participate today asked for their name tags to enter the imperial city. Yu Ji hesitated whether to hand over the name tags.
But at this moment, another familiar figure passed by the car: "Uncle Chen, why are you here?"
An old servant of the Yu family suddenly appeared here, and Yu Ji was very surprised.
"Master?"
"Why did you come to Chang'an?"
"The old man was invited to attend the Alchemy Conference."
"Grandpa is here?"
"Yes. I just went to the house. The young lady was crying and saying that the young master was not trustworthy. Now she has gone to the imperial city with the old master."
