Chapter Nine: Get Out
There seemed to be a thunder in You Tingjiao's mind, Your Majesty? Is this your Majesty today?!
The eyes she looked at You Tingrong were full of jealousy. She really didn't give up. Even though she lost the election, she still hooked up with His Majesty!
Now that the matter has come to this, You Tingrong can only kneel down and salute: "My maiden pays homage to the emperor, long live the emperor!"
You Tingjiao hurriedly knelt down, but she didn't know how to call herself. Fortunately, no one paid attention to her.
Shan Yunxin faced this loyal minister and close friend with mixed feelings in his heart. He didn't believe that Mrs. Chi didn't explain the serious relationship to Chi Qinglang, but Chi Qinglang still showed up.
"Get up."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Chi Qinglang was wearing a wide green robe, and the white stilts in front of him showed his status as a fifth-grade civil servant.
Chi Qinglang raised his hands and said seriously: "Miss You is a good friend of my sister-in-law. I have disturbed Your Majesty. Please forgive me."
"It's okay." Shan Yunxin ignored You Tingrong's dodge and helped him up forcefully, "I came here to find you, but I happened to meet you, but I didn't expect that Miss You and I would be matched."
You Tingrong could clearly feel the hand on her shoulder, tightly controlling her without saying a word, even with an affectionate and probing touch, which made her break into a cold sweat on her back.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." You Tingrong secretly took two steps back, trying to distance himself.
Shan Yunxin let go of her hand, her extended index finger brushed against You Tingrong's earlobe, and her hot palm brushed against the arc of her back, demonstrating her sovereignty before she retracted her hand and stood with her hands behind her back.
Chi Qinglang couldn't bear to see You Tingrong's expression turned extremely ugly.
He stepped forward again and said, "Your Majesty, Miss You is a boudoir lady after all. It is inconvenient to stay for a long time. Why don't you, a humble minister, dare to have a talk with your Majesty?"
You Tingrong quickly moved away from Shan Yunxin, and unconsciously dodged to Chi Qinglang's side.
In his previous life, Chi Qinglang was Shan Yunxin's favorite. Once the Tu family was overthrown, he took the position of prime minister. No matter what, Shan Yunxin would always give Chi Qinglang some favor.
While Chi Qinglang was talking, Chi Qinghuan was also invited by his brother's book boy.
Seeing the stalemate between Shan Yunxin and her brother, Chi Qinghuan was puzzled, but he did not dare to speak out because of the presence of outsiders.
Chi Qinglang quickly reminded his sister, "Qing Huan, why don't you send Miss You home quickly?"
You Tingrong looked at him gratefully and saluted hurriedly: "My lord, please leave first."
This time, Shan Yunxin did not stop him.
You Tingrong pulled the distracted You Tingjiao, lowered her head, and left closely behind Chi Qinghuan without looking at Shan Yunxin.
She secretly sighed in her heart. It was indeed a friendship between childhood sweethearts. As soon as Chi Qinghuan stepped forward, Shan Yunxin restrained her rebelliousness.
Before getting on the carriage, Chi Qinghuan expressed his apology: "The incident happened suddenly. It was my fault for not being well received. Please forgive me, sister."
"Miss Chi is serious. It was just an accident. Instead, it was our sisters who disturbed His Majesty."
"As long as Sister Rong doesn't blame me." Chi Qinghuan didn't know the cause and effect, thinking that they just bumped into each other by mistake. She was also thinking about setting up a bridge for her brother, "Someday, I'll be the host to invite Sister to the show.
, there is a new Nanqu opera troupe in Liyuan."
"Miss Chi, you're welcome."
You Tingrong did not express his position, and got into the carriage after saying goodbye.
When You Tingjiao got on the carriage, even though she was supported by Hongmei, she almost fell down.
Hongmei was startled by the cold sweat on the second lady's head. She secretly glanced at You Tingrong, who was concentrating with her eyes closed, and asked in a low voice: "Second lady, what's wrong with you?"
Because it was their first visit, the maids were busy handing out gifts to the steward of the Chi Mansion. When they finished their work, they were stopped outside the garden, wondering what happened.
Hongmei thought that the second lady had been bullied, why was she so scared?
You Tingjiao did not calm down this time. Instead, she looked at the eldest sister cautiously and whispered: "I'm fine, you can go down." She didn't have the guts to talk nonsense about the Lord.
The You family's carriage was simple, and the maids walked beside it. After Hongmei and Aomachi got off the carriage, the wheels began to roll slowly.
"You have known His Majesty for a long time, and you brought me here today just to see my jokes?"
You Tingjiao's voice sounded in the carriage, and the eyes he looked at You Tingrong were filled with hatred.
You Tingrong looked at You Tingjiao with great interest, wondering if he had ever hated Chi Qinghuan with such ugly eyes. In the eyes of Shan Yunxin, was she also such a jealous woman?
"Are you very proud?" You Tingjiao's eyes were red and she took You Tingrong's silence as her default.
"How did you get to know His Majesty? And how did you get close to His Majesty!?" You Tingjiao now felt that this eldest sister she had known since childhood was unfathomable, and everything today must have been her rejection.
"It's not your turn to take care of my affairs." You Tingrong interrupted her, "The glory and favor you dream of are not worth mentioning to me."
"If you have this free time, you should take care of yourself and think about how to look good in the harem!" You Tingrong frowned impatiently.
"So, His Majesty is obsessed with you?" You Tingjiao became increasingly jealous, "Sister, you are so proud!"
"Shut up!" You Tingrong didn't want to be jealous of Shan Yunxin with her, so she spoke harshly, "Second sister, you should know what you can and cannot say about today's matter."
While the two sisters were facing each other tit for tat, the carriage stopped in front of You Mansion.
"Miss?" The maid's confused voice came through the door curtain.
You Tingjiao calmed down a little. She was at the door of her house, thinking about her mother and father. She was used to being bullied by her eldest sister, and her tone quickly hardened, "What can't you say? It's the eldest sister who is flirting with others. I don't know.
Check it out!?"
"Then tell father that both His Majesty and the eldest son of the Chi family are interested in me. Do you think there will be a place for you in the family in the future?" Faced with You Tingjiao's lack of support, You Tingrong
His tone was also very unkind.
"Our father will only praise me for my success."
You Guitai loves powerful and wealthy people so much. If he knew this, he would definitely try his best to use You Tingrong to cling to the powerful. Not to mention making her a concubine, there are only benefits. I am afraid that even if it is a common room or an outhouse,
, doesn’t care about his daughter’s life or death.
You Tingjiao was obviously frightened. Her father used to love her, but since she only got the position of worship, she has not been as good as before.
——
Third Yiniang was startled when she saw You Tingjiao coming in with a dejected look on her face, and quickly pulled her daughter, "Why did you come back so early? It's only been an hour..."
"Mom!" You Tingjiao couldn't hold back her grievances, but her tears couldn't be stopped. She wanted to speak, but in the end she gritted her teeth.
Third Yiniang opened her mouth and drove the maids out, patted You Tingjiao's back gently, and said warmly: "What happened, just tell mother."
You Tingjiao choked up and explained the whole story clearly. Third Yiniang was so frightened that her eyes widened, "You mean, the eldest lady has already recognized the emperor? How is this possible?"
"Mom! Think of a way!" The day of entering the palace was just around the corner. Now that he knew that the emperor wanted to choose the eldest sister, You Tingjiao felt that the road ahead was dark.
"Your Majesty didn't even look at me, he was just impatient with me..." You Tingjiao clearly remembered the way Shan Yunxin looked at her, as if she was looking at something dirty.
