Chapter 24 Jinzhi Face Saint

Is Yao Xiunu still worried about being seen? It doesn't matter. I have let the path wind at the door.

Li Qingyu seemed to see through Yao Yulu's thoughts, but this was like an affair between the two, which made Yao Yulu's face more rosy. She shyly retorted, "The daughter of the people and the prince just met again by chance. Why are you afraid to say it? Let the prince say..." Yao Yulu originally wanted to complain, but she suddenly remembered that the person in front of her was a high-ranking prince and quickly lost her voice.

Seeing this, Li Qingyu smiled more happily. He felt that the woman in front of him was really interesting. She was smart and matched with that shy appearance, which touched his heart a little. He took out a delicate jewelry box made by Hetianyu from his arms, which was set with a dazzling emerald. He took it out and stuffed it into Yao Yu. In his hand, Yao Yulu was shocked and quickly pushed it back to him.

"Take it. Others think I have a wife and give it to me. It's useless for a big man to hold it. You can keep it for fun." Li Qingyu said it lightly, but he didn't know that it took him a day to find such a satisfactory baby in person, waiting to see Yao Yulu deliver it to her.

"Your Majesty, if you don't have any merit, you can't accept Yulu." Yao Yulu could see that although it was just a jewelry box, such a large area of Hetian Yuding was worth a lot. Coupled with the beautiful emerald in the middle, it was not a gift she could afford. What's more, the two met by chance and only met three times. Nothing could she accept it at ease.

"You take it. What's the use of my keep?"

"The Eighth Prince might as well give it to his mother, which can also show filial piety. Yulu can't be accepted."

"My mother? My mother passed away very early. Li Qingyu said lightly.

At this time, Yao Yulu realized that she had said something wrong. This was the prince. When she came to teach him how to do things, she touched his pain and hurriedly said, "Yulu lost her words, please forgive me."

"It's not a crime for you to mention my sadness like this." Li Qingyu said seriously with a bad smile on his face.

Yao Yulu was secretly shocked. No matter what the prince said, she turned her face. She quickly admitted her mistake and said, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. Yulu didn't mean to act."

Li Qingyu smiled and replied, "Take this jewelry box, and I will forgive you."

Yao Yulu saw that Li Qingyu intended to tease her and remembered her own embarrassment and had no echo.

"Are you really angry? I'm also unintentional. Take it quickly. It's time. You don't want to have dinner, do you?"

It's getting late. If I don't go back, I'm afraid I really won't be able to eat dinner. Yao Yulu is a little helpless. She looked at the exquisite jewelry box and Li Qingyu's persistent face. She had to take the slightly blessed body with both hands and said, "Yulu thanked the prince."

Li Qingyu suddenly smiled happily and replied, "This is not for you for nothing. I will ask you to eat osmanthus cake in a few days."

Yao Yulu looked at Li Qingyu's appearance, which was not like everyone in the palace talking and wearing a mask. There was a refreshing smile on her handsome face. She didn't say anything, but nodded slightly and returned the same smile.

Yao Yulu walked in the direction of Taoyuan Hall. Li Qingyu kept looking at her back and looked silently for a long time.

Back in bed, Ji Shuidong was sitting at the table busy embroidering. When she saw Yao Yulu coming in, she quickly locked the door and whispered, "Sister, I just heard a message."

Yao Yulu saw her cautious appearance and asked, "What happened?"

Ji Shuidong sighed with some frustration: "It has nothing to do with us. Song Jinzhi's father just found it for her. I heard that Prime Minister Song made great contributions today because he solved the relief problem of the flood in the south of the Yangtze River. The emperor wants to entertain the ministers and let Prime Minister Song participate with Song Jinzhi."

Yao Yulu heard this, and her happy mood suddenly fell to the bottom. Seeing Liu Feifei being favored, Song Jinzhi could see the emperor early. At this time, it was not too early or too late. Unlike Yao Yulu, who saw that the emperor had forgotten a few months ago, this father no longer care about her jade concubine looking at her like air. In her heart At this moment, there is only unspeakable melancholy and confusion.

"Well, I'm afraid it's only a matter of time to be favored."

"Yes, I don't know when my sister's status will please the emperor."

"Why is my sister the only one who is so worried? I'm afraid that my sister and most of the beautiful girls are already in their hearts now."

"My sister only misses my sister's chance. Don't be upset." Ji Shuidong saw Yao Yulu's thoughts and comforted him.

"What can I do if I'm upset? I can only stay calm and hope that one day I can be appreciated by the emperor." As she said, she put the jewelry box on the table. Ji Shuidong couldn't help sighing at first sight, "Sister, where did you get the beautiful jewelry box?"

This... Although Yao Yulu and Ji Shuidong are sisters, she and the Eighth Prince are also aboveboard, she always feels that many people know that it must be bad, but she doesn't know how to say it, so she can only say truthfully, "I just happened to meet the Eighth Prince, and he gave it to me casually."

"Did you give such a precious thing casually? It's worthy of being the prince. By the way, sister, I always feel that the eighth prince treats you..." Ji Shuidong didn't think much about it, just appreciateing the beauty in front of him.

"Don't talk nonsense, sister. It's just that we met before, and it's just a little fate." Yao Yulu didn't know how to explain it, so she said such a brainless sentence. Is it just a casual meeting? She also asked herself in her heart.

"Okay, my sister understands, but my sister must also be careful so that no one will make trouble." Ji Shuidong is also used to the intrigue of this harem today, saying so.

"Ye, thank you for your concern."

Yao Yulu sat at the dressing table and fiddled with the exquisite jewelry box. She remembered Li Qingyu's cynical handsome face. She couldn't help blushing and went to bed early with her thoughts.

On the evening of the second day, I heard that the West Second Room next to it was a little lively. It turned out that it was the maid of honor specially sent by Aunt Lv to help Song Jinzhi dress up. When she first saw such a big event as the emperor, even Song Jinzhi, who was usually gentle and calm, was a little nervous. She looked at the clothes spread out and chose left and right, but she didn't know where it was more suitable. Finally, she fell in love with a lilac-colored bead-inlaid cigarette yarn and mopping her sleeves, and the maid of honor tied her a graceful bun. She specially picked a silver jade-inlaid hairpin, which looked very unique. This body was generous and decent and not too picky, which was just right for her.

Song Jinzhi was a little uneasy. He didn't know what would happen to the emperor. Fortunately, he could see his father who had not met for many days, or was a little comforted.

When Song Jinzhi went out, Yao Yulu looked at her back silently. She didn't know whether she was jealous or helpless, and she was always a little sad.

There was an octagonal sedan chair outside the door. Song Jinzhi got into the sedan chair with the help of the maid of honor. Along the way, she tried her best to calm herself down, but the tension could not dispel. Whether she was willing to fight for fame and fortune, there was a woman in the harem who did not want to be favored by the emperor, at least not to be bullied by the empty room alone. She knew in her heart and simply changed her makeup. As the sedan chair stopped, she knew that it had arrived.

The place where the banquet was held was the banquet hall of the palace. When she got off the sedan chair, she saw her father waiting at the door. She quickly got off the sedan chair and said, "Dad, my daughter misses her father and mother so well."

Prime Minister Song burst into tears in an instant. Song Jinzhi was his precious daughter. He didn't see him in the past few days and asked, "Daughter, is life in this palace going well?"

"Blessings to Dad, everything is fine."

"That's good, that's good. After a while, you can follow me in. Today, all the princes and ministers are here, and you are the only females. It's specially approved by the emperor. After a while, you have to behave well, don't miss this good opportunity."

"Daughter knows, Dad, please don't worry." Song Jinzhi replied affirmatively.

The banquet is about to begin, and Song Jinzhi entered the grand banquet hall with his father.

The banquet hall is mainly gold, decorated with golden glitter, and inlaid with dazzling colors everywhere. The seat in the middle is a golden dragon chair, and two rows of sandalwood tables and chairs are stretched down on both sides. At this time, as the emperor took his seat, the ministers kowtowed one after another: "I see the emperor, the emperor, the emperor is blessed."

Song Jinzhi sat in the deputy seat next to Prime Minister Song. She glanced at the emperor slightly. He was young and handsome, but he was not the kind of man she liked in her heart. After all, he would also be her husband in the future. Who cares what she thought in her heart?

Li Qingxiao asked the ministers to calm down and then said, "Ministers, this flood in the south of the Yangtze River can be completed smoothly. Thanks to Prime Minister Song, Prime Minister Song has done his best for the court. I should remember that I am very moved by Prime Minister Song and General Yao supporting me left and right."

These words were not biased or heavy, and they were just right. Yao Guozhang and Song Cheng hurriedly replied, "The emperor is very grateful."

"My banquet today is to celebrate the smooth progress of this disaster relief, and to reward Prime Minister Song. At the same time, I also have a careful wish in my heart. I hope that General Yao can do his best in the future and not cross the border and continue to be loyal to the State of Daliang." Li Qingxiao was still kind, but he suppressed Yao Guozhang in front of his ministers, which was greatly beyond Yao Guozhang's expectation.

General Yao's face changed and half knelt down and replied, "Your Majesty, please rest assured that I have no other intention. I just want to be loyal to the State of Liang. The emperor should not listen to the words of the villain." After saying that, he glanced at Prime Minister Song fiercely.

Song Cheng ignored General Yao and said to the emperor: "I thank the emperor for his appreciation. It is a blessing for me to be loyal to the emperor."

The emperor nodded slightly and said, "Well, since today is a banquet, don't be so serious. Let's relax."

As the banquet began, the stage sang and danced, and the stage was intertwined. At this time, Li Qingxiao remembered that Song Jinzhi, the daughter of Prime Minister Song, was also present today. He searched under the stage and saw a woman sitting gently and virtuously beside Song Cheng. Her eyebrows were beautiful, her eyes turned slightly, and she was very charming, so he asked, "Song Prime Minister's daughter is not today. Is it coming too?"

Song Jinzhi entered the hall and calmed down. She said slightly, "Song Jinzhi, a daughter of the people, knocked on the emperor."

Li Qingxiao looked at Song Jinzhi carefully. This woman was really beautiful and beautiful. He said, "Fang body. I heard that you are also among the beautiful women this time."

Song Jinzhi smiled, very gentle and touching, and replied, "It's exactly what the emperor said."
