Chapter 93 The best of both sides

On the fifth day of October, it is a big day for Qiaoyu to go home to save relatives. When he got up early in the morning, Zhu Gaoshuai was as early as usual. Just after Mao, Qiaoyu took a bus to the noon gate and waited for the emperor's edict.

At the third quarter of Mao, Lu Sheng went to the Meridian Gate to announce the decree, and the emperor ordered Qiao Yu to wait for the edict outside the Yangxin Hall. Qiaoyu followed Lu Sheng quietly to the outside of Yangxin Hall, and Zhu Gaosu was already waiting at the door.

When Zhu Gaoshua saw Qiaoyu coming, she smiled and greeted her and whispered, "Yuer, when I was at home in the past, I didn't find that my Yuer was getting better and better."

Qiaoyu blushed and replied in a low voice, "It's not the prince's care that makes Yuer moist!"

"Haha!" Zhu Gaoshua laughed loudly.

"Shua, what makes you so happy?" I don't know when Zhu Di had already stood behind them.

The two turned around and saw Zhu Di. They were shocked and knelt on their knees and saluted respectfully.

"Fal flat!" Zhu Di had a smile on his face. Even if you don't say it, I know it. It must be some sweet words of deep affection. Is that right, Qiaoyu?"

Qiaoyu listened to the emperor's question, and her face turned redder. She lowered her head and said, "Go back to the emperor, the prince and the concubine don't have any sweet words. It's just that the prince just joked that the concubine was too thin.

"Oh? In this way, I will make the decision for Qiaoyu!" Zhu Di turned around and looked at Zhu Gaoshuai with a smile. "Shua, I thought you would be kind to Qiaoyu, but now it seems that you have really failed my expectations!" What do you mean, how should I punish you?

"Your Majesty! The prince treated me very well!" Qiao Yu was worried about robbing Bai Dao.

Zhu Di and Zhu Gaosui laughed at the same time. Qiaoyu suddenly understood and blushed and dared not speak again. Zhu Gaoshuai took a step forward to relieve Qiaoyu, "Father, I beg my father for Qiaoyu. Father, please stop making fun of Qiaoyu.

"Good! OK! No kidding!" Zhu Di took a smile and said, "Today is a big day for Qiaoyu to return home. I announce that you are here to tell you that the road is far away and the weather is cold. You should pay attention to your health and be more careful. Don't have any more accidents like last time. Do you understand?"

"My son/concubine understands!" The two agreed with one voice.

"Well, it's getting late. You go back early. It's ready. Let's go on the road early."

"Yes! I'm leaving!" The cheap concubine quit!" Zhu Gaosui and Qiaoyu saluted Zhu Di again. The two quietly walked out of the courtyard of the Yangxin Hall and walked silently on the palace road.

Out of the Meridian Gate, Qiao Yu and Zhu Gaosui rode the wind together and went back to another hospital.

After breakfast, Qiao Yu boarded the carriage after waiting for the time. Zhu Gaoshuai stepped on the wind, and with an order, the carriage moved slowly. In less than three o'clock, he left Desheng Gate and went down in the direction of the south. After only three miles out of the city, Zhu Gaosuki jumped off the horse and got into the carriage.

When Qiao Yu saw Zhu Gaosumi coming in, Qiao Yu asked curiously, "Brother Sui, why don't you ride a horse?"

"It's too cold outside, not as warm as in the car. Besides..." Zhu Gaosumi looked at Qiaoyu and stopped talking.

"What else to say?" Qiaoyu asked with a smile.

Zhu Gaoshuai came close to Qiaoyu's ear and whispered, "Besides, I haven't seen you for a long time. I'm already missing."

"Brother Sui!" Qiaoyu shyly approached Zhu Gaoshuai's arms.

The two happy people did not know that they had just left Beijing, and the rumors about Qiaoyu spread like a plague. It is said that the concubine of the King of Zhao once met the Duke of Guizhou in another courtyard. The two were alone in the room, sobbing and even hugging each other. The king of Zhao didn't know at all that the concubine had done such an ugly thing. Before the concubine played with applause, he made his concubine out of favor. In less than five days, the whole city of Beijing was known.

At the end of November, Zhu Gaosui and Qiaoyu returned to Beijing. The forgotten rumors have made a comeback because of the arrival of the protagonist. At first, it spread from the officials and their family, and then slowly spread to the people in the market. Finally, it came to Zhu Gaoswi's ears. Naturally, he knew the inside story. Although he punished several spreaders, Zhu Gaoswi's behavior confirmed the reliability of the rumors. For a while, the city was full of wind and rain, and Zhu Gaoshou had to order people who entered and left other courtyards to strictly keep secrets, and those who leaked secrets should be severely punished.

Since Qiaoyu came back from Zhenjiang, she has been too sad when she went to the grave, coupled with the tiredness of the boat and carriage, and her body has been uncomfortable. In addition, the cold weather has not gone out of the courtyard. Naturally, I don't know that the rumors about me outside are overwhelming.

In the Laba Festival, Qiaoyu got up early in the morning, dressed neatly, walked to the window, and pushed the window open with both hands. The heavy snow fell silently.

"It's snowing!" Qiaoyu turned her head and told Zhu Gaoshua with a smile. A mass of white light reflected in the white snow enveloped the Qiaoyu by the window, so noble and pure, like a fairy's dream. Zhu Gaosuki looked at the moment of loss of distraction, like another world, and fear rose in vain. He quickly got up, didn't care about the north wind blowing in the window, and hugged Qiaoyu tightly for fear of losing her. Yu'er!"

"Brother Sui, what's wrong with you?" Qiao Yu asked doubtfully.

Zhu Gaosui also had tears in his eyes for no reason. "Suddenly, I was worried that I would lose you."

"Brother Sui. How come? Yuer will always be with you. Qiaoyu persuaded him.

Because Qiaoyu was not awarded, Zhu Gaosu could only go into the palace alone to salute his father and mother. After Mao, Qiaoyu sent Zhu Gaoshui out of the gate, turned around and came back, and began to prepare Laba porridge. She doesn't want to put today's porridge on his hands. I rolled up my sleeves and began to soak all kinds of beans, red dates and lilies. Break the lotus seeds one by one and take out the painstaking efforts inside. He was busy, thinking about Zhu Gaoshu's smiling face when she drank the sweet porridge he made.

"Little Lord! The queen announced that you would enter the palace immediately, and the father-in-law of the pepper hall was already waiting in the front hall.

"I know, I'll come right away!" Qiaoyu walked out of the kitchen, and two magpie on the branch chirped, "Is there something good again?" The smile hung on Qiaoyu's beautiful face.

After changing his clothes and applying powder, Qiaoyu got into the carriage and followed the people into the palace.

The Spring Festival is coming. Today, it coincides with the solar term, and the palace is full of festive red. Qiaoyu followed her father-in-law quickly through the red ocean and respectfully entered the pepper hall.

"The cheap concubine Qiaoyu pays a visit to the queen! I wish the queen a thousand years, a thousand years, a thousand years!" Qiaoyu's respectful salute.

"Yu'er is coming!" The queen smiled and came forward to help Qiaoyu. She looked at Qiaoyu kindly, "It's really the national beauty! No wonder Sui'er treats you differently!"

Qiao Yu blushed and lowered her head and replied, "The queen praised it!" I'm ashamed of my concubine."

"Let's all go down. Our mother and I said something about ourselves.

The queen sat on the chair, and Qiaoyu stood aside. Waiting for the two of them left in the room, the queen sighed first, "Alas!" Qiao Yu looked at the queen doubtfully and did not dare to ask.

"Yuer, do you know that although I am the queen, I also have troubles!"

"The queen is the mother of a country. How can there be something that can't be achieved?"

"Yuer, my family is a mother, and she will naturally think about her children." The queen stopped and stared straight at Qiaoyu. "Now, Sui'er has suffered such a great grievance for you. Naturally, being a mother is very sad."

Qiao Yu raised her head in surprise and looked at the queen doubtfully. The queen turned her eyes, looked at a glazed vase in the Baibao Pavilion opposite, and continued, "It is rumored outside that when you were in another courtyard, you met the Duke of Guizhou privately."

When Qiaoyu heard this, she was shocked. Tears of grievances welled out. She knelt down and cried, "Queen Mingjian, but my concubine has seen the Duke of Guizhou in another courtyard. But there are a lot of secrets in it!"

"Can you tell me one or two about the secrets inside?"

"Queen's atonement! Qiaoyu doesn't want to deceive the queen, but Qiaoyu has an unspeakable secret! But please believe in Qiaoyu! Qiaoyu will never do anything wrong to the prince!"

"Although you can trust you, how can you stop the mouth of Youyou? Sui'er punished several people for your business, but the rumors got worse. Some people even said..." The queen hesitated to continue.

Qiaoyu asked with tears, "I hope the queen will not hide it from the cheap concubine."

"Some people also say that the king of Zhao must be a lecherous man, otherwise why do you neglect the innocent princess and beauty, and have to spoil one, one..."

"What is one?"

"A bitch who can do his best."

"No!" Qiaoyu shouted out of control. No! No!" She knelt down to the queen and looked at the queen aggrievedly, "Queen Mingjian, Qiaoyu is not, no, no! Qiaoyu is the only prince! Qiaoyu has never done anything wrong to the prince!"

The queen stood up impatiently and said angrily, "At this point, don't you understand? If you don't leave Sui'er, Sui'er's reputation will not be guaranteed, and the rumor that the princess is out of favor will not disappear.

"Queen, the concubine really can't give up the prince! The prince also has a special love for cheap concubines. Queen, please don't separate us for the sake of our sincerity!" After saying that, Qiaoyu began to kowtow hard.

"Qiao Yu!" The queen was a little soft-hearted when she saw Qiaoyu like this. When I thought of Tingjuan, my heart hardened again. Qiaoyu, I have thought of a way to make the best of both things for you.

Qiaoyu stopped kowtowing and knelt down, waiting for the queen's method.

"If you leave Sui'er, you can arrange for you to live in a thatched house in the outer suburbs of the prince, and you won't have to worry about food and clothing for the rest of your life. The current transshipment envoy of the Du Transshipment Salt Envoy should leave office after next autumn. The Ai family can ask the emperor to appoint your cousin Yan Haoxuan as the next transshipment envoy of the Du Transshipment Salt Envoy. Is that good?"

Qiao Yuwan didn't expect that this matter would involve Haoxuan. So it seems that she has no room for refusal. He raised his head, looked at the queen with empty eyes, silently shed tears, and squeezed out a sentence for a long time, "Everything is arranged by the queen."

"Okay! You really know the current affairs very well!" The queen sat back in the chair with satisfaction. Come on!"

Qiao Yu seemed to have been emptied. The walking corpse copied the letter that had already been prepared and gave it to the maid of honor beside him. He saluted the queen, walked out of the pepper hall, was put on the carriage, and fainted in front of his eyes.
