Chapter 240 Without you, where can I find a fiancee?
After eating in Ganquan Palace, Yang Zhongwen asked her to "re-trial" her, caring about what medicine she took, and also gave her many precious medicinal materials to take to nourish her body. She also said that after taking it, she told her that as long as she used her body, she would send it to her.
Concubine Shu fully demonstrated the kindness and responsibility of an adoptive mother. Even the 11th prince beside him said that his mother was partial and only loved Zhao Yu and no longer loved him. This made Concubine Shu scold him with a stern face, and said that when you were as ambitious as your ninth brother, she would turn to him. The 11th prince shouted that he would not do it anymore. He was still young. In the end, he made everyone laugh again. Zhao Yu even kicked him directly, and Concubine Shu scolded him.
What a warm picture of family joy. If she was still a simple little girl who had no idea about anything in her previous life, she would definitely be fooled. After all, she almost got on the pirate ship of Concubine Shu in her previous life. At that time, she had not invested so much as she is now.
The past is unbearable to look back on, and she is also smiling aside.
The only real thing about the people here is the little princess Yuhua sitting next to her. After laughing for a long time, she would react and laugh. Although she was slow to react, she was a cute little girl.
Rong Jingqiu really likes her. She doesn’t have to worry about getting along with a girl like her. She says whatever she wants. Anyway, she won’t think wrongly.
Until she was about to go back to Fengming Palace, Princess Yuhua still held her hand reluctantly and asked her to stay for two days.
She bent down patiently and said to her, "This is not possible. The Queen will punish you. Otherwise, tomorrow Your Highness Princess will come to my place to play with you. I have a lot of fun things..."
Before he finished speaking, Princess Yuhua shook her head desperately, leaned into her ear and said, "No, Mother will be unhappy."
Rong Jingqiu was stunned. She thought that this little girl didn't understand the worldly ways. In fact, her heart was bright. She knew that her mother didn't like her to go to the queen's bedroom, not because of jealousy, but because there was a tiger's den. No mother would want to put her children in a dangerous situation.
But from the side, it can be seen that the connection between the queen and Shufei is not as deep as she imagined. Shufei is afraid of the queen. She unconsciously turned the white jade bracelet in her hand. Shufei is very thoughtful, and she has not actually seen what she is thinking in her heart.
Fighting for the throne?
However, until her death in her previous life, the eleventh prince was not a strong contender for the throne. He has always been Zhao Yu's loser. Whether in the court or his personal charm, the eleventh prince did not have his own distinctive characteristics, and was a transparent existence among the princes.
Of course, if the person who won the final victory in his previous life was Zhao Yu, then the eleventh prince would rise to prominence. With Zhao Yu's support, he would be the most dazzling existence among the brothers, and a hereditary title of prince is indispensable.
As Zhao Yu's adoptive mother, Shufei will be the end of her title as the imperial concubine. This is the best result that the mother and son can achieve, but will it really be like this?
She was not sure, she only knew that Shufei's goodness was false, and it was covered with poisonous frosting.
"Pretty sister, what are you thinking?"
Princess Yuhua shook her hand and shook her thoughts back to the present moment.
She smiled and reached out to touch the double buns on her head, "I was thinking about what kind of delicacy to make for His Royal Highness, and I will send them tomorrow."
Princess Yuhua saw her intentions for her and smiled sweetly, "Okay."
"I want to listen to what you are talking about, too." Princess Yurong walked over with a smile.
Princess Yuhua's reaction this time was a little faster, "Secret."
"You have the secret?" Princess Yurong reached out and pinched her sister's tender face.
Princess Yuhua didn't scream, but explained seriously with her big eyes, "What I can't tell you is called a secret."
Princess Yurong smiled and scolded, "Little brat." Then she turned around and said a few polite words to Rong Jingqiu.
After Rong Jingqiu dealt with these two princesses, Zhao Yu sent him back to Fengming Palace.
The two of them did not confront each other on the way, and the previous differences did not seem to exist, and the scene became much more harmonious. Zhao Yu told her about the buildings in the palace, which was quite fresh. Rong Jingqiu did not have such treatment in her previous life, and now she re-recognized the palace complex.
"My ninth brother is so elegant."
Hearing this, both of them frowned slightly, but when they looked at the person, their faces had returned to normal.
"Brother Seven." Zhao Yu bowed to the Seventh Prince.
The seventh prince waved his hand pretending to be generous, then stepped forward and patted Zhao Yu on the shoulder to show that the two brothers were good. Zhao Yu avoided it without a trace, and his disgusting eyes flashed.
"I want to see if I can meet my ninth brother and sister here. Oh, no, I still have to call Miss Rong." The Seventh Prince smiled.
Rong Jingqiu bowed to him without a smile, and then said, "What's the matter with the Seventh Prince looking for the little girl?"
Zhao Yu also looked at the Seventh Prince, and his body tilted slightly towards Rong Jingqiu, expressing his position.
Rong Jingqiu glanced at him secretly and said nothing.
"Actually nothing is wrong," the seventh prince scratched the back of his head, looking as if he was upset and embarrassed to speak, "It's Princess Dora, I have a little argument with her. Oh, I'm not afraid of you laughing at you when I say it. I'm just the girl in the Lan family, and I don't know what rumors she heard, so I started to make a fuss with me. I want to ask Miss Rong to help me become a peacemaker..."
Go to the damn peacemaker, she could not even maintain the fake smirk on her face. What does their bullshit matter have to do with her?
She said in a little embarrassedly, "This... The Seventh Prince also knows that I didn't grow up in the Marquis' Mansion. I'm not right with the girl from the Lan family. I should be Master Yuan, and I'm not familiar with this peacemaker. I'm afraid I can't do this, so let's talk about it..." At this point, she wanted to speak but stopped.
When the seventh prince heard this, he frowned, "Miss Rong, it's mainly because you are with her in the Fengming Palace of the Queen, and you can often say things from above. Unlike me, she has rejected me many times. She doesn't listen to my explanation at all." He smiled bitterly, and then looked at Zhao Yu, "My ninth brother will help me say a few good things in front of Miss Rong. Brother, I'll invite you to drink and thank you." After that, he bowed to Zhao Yu and Rong Jingqiu.
Rong Jingqiu hurriedly jumped away from the blessing and did not accept his tribute. He was a prince. She was now a commoner, but she could not stand his tribute, so as not to be criticized for being rude. She also wanted to leave the palace as soon as possible and leave the cage.
"Seeing her appearance, why should I force others to do anything to the point of being embarrassed?" Zhao Yu said, "Besides, if Seventh Brother really cares about Princess Dora, you should know her current situation. You are making things difficult for the girl."
"What did you say about Ninth Brother?" The seventh prince's face looked bad. Obviously, Zhao Yu's words hit him in pain. If he really wanted to explain and really cared about his fiancée, then take practical actions instead of letting others take the blame.
"Even I know that Princess Dora is now locked up because she disobeyed the Queen's order to change her clothes." Zhao Yu said coldly, then turned to look at Rong Jingqiu, afraid that she would misunderstand, so she explained, "Don't get it wrong. I asked how you were doing in Fengming Palace, and then I heard about things from others."
Rong Jingqiu waved his hand quickly and said, "Your Highness Ninth Prince, no need to explain, the little girl understands it." He looked at the Seventh Prince who looked incredible. Tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk
The seventh prince nodded quickly, "When I know, I will definitely find a way to persuade her to surrender. But you also know that I can't see her, it's all in vain. Let's do this. Please take this item to her, and she will understand after seeing it."
He took out a purse from his sleeve and wanted to hand it to Rong Jingqiu.
Rong Jingqiu took a few steps back, waved her hand and said, "I also want to help the Seventh Princess, but now I can't see Princess Dora, how can I hand over the things to her? This is a mistake." Her eyes thrust towards the large string of palace maids behind her, indicating that she also had the eyeliner sent by the queen around her, and her every move was also controlled by others.
Zhao Yu didn't wait for the Seventh Prince to say anything else, and directly pulled Rong Jingqiu's wrist, "Brother Seven, we really can't help you, think of a way," this time it was his turn to pat the Seventh Prince's shoulder, "I believe you will always come up with a solution. This is a difficult task for Miss Yu Rong. Brother Yu Qi is just a simple task."
The seventh prince's expression changed and he narrowed his eyes and looked at Zhao Yu. What did he know?
Zhao Yu smiled so harmlessly that he pulled Rong Jingqiu over him and left. Rong Jingqiu looked like he had to leave. Before leaving, he did not forget to be kind enough to be blessed all over the land. Then he followed Zhao Yu's big steps in a small way, and his image was a bit embarrassing and ridiculous.
Then a string of palace maids came to the seventh prince and quickly chased after him.
In the end, only the Seventh Prince was left in place with a sinister face. His hand tightly held the purse, and finally shouted coldly at the people around him, "Go."
The hateful Zhao Yu and the slick Rong Jingqiu are really worthy of being a couple. They sing a double act to reject him. Don’t think that he lives next to Princess Dora without knowing. What he said before is just a refusal.
After all, he missed Rong Jingqiu's nature and thought she was a kind-hearted person. Although she was a little unhappy with Princess Dora before, she should not be able to keep people from thousands of miles away. He took it for granted.
Thinking of this, he looked back at the backs of the pair of people who were leaving, and his hands were tighter. Why did Zhao Yu be so lucky to find such a wife? Not only was he sober, but the key was that he came from a famous family and had the strength of the Yue family. No matter how he thought about it, he was much better than the prince of the foreign country.
A strong sense of unwillingness surged out of his heart. When he came to this point, he even gave up his own child. Why did he have to marry a helpless princess in Fanbang?
It would be fine if there was no help, but his mind was not working. No matter how he thought about it, he could not find any useful parts of Princess Dora.
Rong Jingqiu, who had already walked away, felt like a ray of light on her back and quietly said to Zhao Yu, "I think the Seventh Prince is not giving up..."
Zhao Yu said calmly, "No matter what he says, don't pay attention to it. He is so evil."
Rong Jingqiu thought to herself, you are not inferior, but she didn't say this, "I'm afraid of Princess Dora, so why bother with their affairs? I can't get rid of what happened."
Seeing that she was so clear-headed, he was still a little comforted, and his face became clear again.
"Your Highness, when do you want to hold my wrist?" Rong Jingqiu noticed that he was holding his wrist and muttered dissatisfiedly, "If someone sees me, my reputation will definitely be damaged."
Zhao Yu felt that he was in a better mood, so she came to do something to ruin her. She really wanted to block her mouth and make her unable to say anything disappointed.
"Shut up." He said unhappily.
Rong Jingqiu secretly curled her lips and tried to struggle her wrists, but he clenched tighter and tighter. In the end, she could only bite her silver teeth and glared at him hatefully, and no longer do anything futile.
Zhao Yu did not send her back to Fengming Palace directly, but walked towards the remote palace road. There was little chance of meeting people here, and she didn't have to keep clamoring for her reputation.
The palace is not new to Rong Jing, but I didn’t expect that the scenery in this remote corner is pretty good. In the early winter, it is bleak and has its own unique beauty.
Her emotions gradually settled down. Walking through this long palace road seemed to have a different feeling. It would be even better if she could change someone around her, she thought.
"My seventh brother doesn't know what to do. You stay away from him and Princess Dora recently. If there is something that is difficult to shirk, you push it on me and I will deal with him."
Zhao Yu was still worried and could only remind her again.
Rong Jingqiu felt that he had made some big fuss and had his marriage settled, could there be any change?
However, then she opened her eyes wide, and there was no possibility of variables in others. But the Seventh Prince was different. Didn’t the Lan family girl become the current Master Yuan Tai? This is a man who can climb upwards on the flesh and blood of a woman. What can he not do?
"No way? That's the Princess of Fanbang?" Then she felt that she was too suspicious. "What's wrong? The saint must not peel him?"
This will affect the diplomatic relations between the two countries, and war will start again every minute.
Zhao Yu knew that she was smart and could understand at one point. He raised his eyebrows and looked at her, "If you were Brother Qi, what would you do?"
"You're going to frame the problem, need to say?" She gave him a blank look, then her face suddenly turned pale. She grabbed Zhao Yu's hand with her backhand and pointed her with another hand, "I can't be the scapegoat he is looking for, right?"
Otherwise, let her see Princess Dora?
Zhao Yu didn't expect that there would be such benefits. He took the opportunity to hold her sweaty little hand tightly, pulled her closer to him, and whispered, "Don't be afraid, this is just my guess. Besides, I'll arrange someone by your side, and even if he wants to harm you, he won't succeed easily."
"Aunt Chen are you talking about?" Rong Jingqiu took the opportunity to say.
Zhao Yu smiled slightly, "It's not just her."
When he knew the queen was going to make her a move, he began to put out all the chess pieces that had been arranged in Fengming Palace. Each of these pieces was extremely precious. After all, in order not to alarm the enemy, he did not use them any of them before, so as not to make the queen suspicious.
But she is different. She is his future wife, and husband and wife are one. If something happens to her, he cannot keep it alone.
Rong Jingqiu didn't expect that he would answer so directly. Thinking that Zhao Yu was only eighteen years old, how much effort he had to put someone into Fengming Palace over the years, how could she be able to make him do this?
She said a little bit, "I have the power to protect myself, you don't have to make a decision for me for many years..."
Zhao Yu raised her chin gently and asked her to look at him, "If the chess piece is broken, you can change it. If you are gone, where will I go to find a fiancée?"
Rong Jingqiu's heart suddenly beating very fast, and she couldn't look directly into his eyes. He looked a little affectionate now. Did he know that doing this would be a foul?
Her face turned red in an instant, and she suddenly wanted to break away from his hand, but in vain. She clenched her silver teeth and fanned the wind with a veil in her other hand, "Your Highness, you let go of my hand, is this...is it a little hot? And... it's not in accordance with the rules..."
"Oh, rules are dead, people live." Zhao Yu said this directly and scoundrelly.
Rong Jingqiu didn't dare to look at him again, otherwise she was afraid that her firm determination would be shaken. She lowered her eyes slightly and said, "No, this is not possible. The queen saw it, I have to take care of it."
When she thought of her queen's face, she became much more awake in an instant.
She suddenly pointed to the other side of the palace road, "There are people over there, please let go of me."
While Zhao Yu looked over, she suddenly stepped on him hard. Taking advantage of his pain, she took the opportunity to shake off his hand, jumped farther a few steps, and said to him, "It's getting late, the little woman is leaving first, Your Highness is at will."
After saying that, she hurriedly ran away, letting the wind blow away the hottest on her face.
Zhao Yu's face will indeed lie.
Fortunately, Zhao Yu did not catch up, Rong Jingqiu slowed down her pace, and her ups and downs gradually calmed down. She would not easily shake her determination. Even if Zhao Yu said nothing, saving her life is the most important thing.
This time when she passed Princess Dora's door, she took a deliberate look and it became much quieter inside. She narrowed her eyes slightly and quickly returned to her residence.
