There is still more than half a month before the day of the concubine in Lidong, but fortunately, in addition to being forced to deal with the eldest lady's mother and daughter every day, there is nothing else to displease Yu Zhao. Yu Lu was concerned about her, and someone handed a letter in and asked if she could meet her.

Seeing that Yu Lu, who had the identity of an edict, was surrounded and came in, the eldest lady nodded and bowed, leading the way for the concubines who had been suppressed in every way, and the smile on her face was more ugly than crying. But he had to hold it hard, for fear of showing a little reluctance. Yu Zhao's heart was refreshed, and he suddenly felt the pleasure that power gives people, no wonder these people would rather be hypocritical and pursue it all their lives.

A cold rain fell in late autumn, and Yu Cheng was afraid that Yu Zhao would be frozen, so he ordered the stove to be lit early. Yu Zhao has never been afraid of the cold, and this move is redundant in her eyes. It made her panic, and only a few people who were close to her followed, wanting to go to the garden.

I have to say that the scenery of the back garden of Yufu is unique, and the rockeries cover people's sight, but every place adds a sense of surprise. After the rain, it is foggy, not to mention adding a flavor. When Yu Zhao was young, he was often hidden in the house by the timid Yu Lu, and he never appreciated it carefully.

A voice came through the mist: "Although you are raised by your aunt, but your mother is taking care of you everywhere, people must be grateful, but no more encroachment."

It was Yu Yao, Yu Zhao didn't want to deal with her, so he turned around silently and wanted to leave, and listened to her again: "Mother said that Yu Lu was a cheap maid who was not even as good as a dog, and he didn't deserve his name, but now it's just a temporary scenery, and the cheap skin can't enjoy much happiness."

Hearing this, Yu Zhao stopped.

Listening to Yu Zhu's voice again, he was a little timid. "In the end, Master Chen is also our sister, I just embroidered a leather case for her, and I didn't have the heart to transgress." After speaking, he paused again, and cautiously persuaded: "Eldest sister, these words can't be said, insulting her life, and she will be slapped on the lips."

"What are you afraid of her doing, what about Mrs. Command, I am still the future queen." Yu Yao said and smiled disdainfully. "Although she has won a high position, she wants to be proud of this old man every day."

"Today I will show you what you can be proud of."

The group walked over, and before Yu Yao could react, Zhuo Yao had already arrived in front of her and ripped her off the stone bench with one hand. Two slaps landed on her face, and the two slap marks immediately became red and swollen. His body fell to the ground and trembled, not daring to get up. Yu Zhu was also so frightened that he hurriedly knelt beside him.

After Yu Zhao came over and sat down unhurriedly, Yu Yao asked Yu Yao, "Can you see it?"

"Lord Chen's forgiveness ......," Yu Yao replied tremblingly.

"This sin is unforgivable," Yu Zhao looked down at her, his tone was cold, and suddenly saw that Yu Yao's maid wanted to sneak to report the news, and said to her: "Why hide it, Fang also mentioned the eldest lady, go and call over."

The maid stumbled away after receiving the order.

Yu Zhu forced himself to calm down, raised his head and pleaded: "Please also ask Lord Chen to see the sisters and spare us this time."

"You get up first." Yu Zhao picked up the leather case on the table and looked at it, and motioned for her maid to help her up. Instead, he spoke sharply. "I don't have the authority to forgive my sins, she mentioned His Majesty and the Crown Prince."

Hearing this, Yu Yao instantly lost her strength and was so frightened that she spread on the ground.

Not long after, Yu Cheng and the eldest lady rushed over with Yu Feng, the son of the Yu family, and when they saw this scene, they hurriedly knelt down and begged for mercy. "The minister is guilty, he failed to fulfill his duty of teaching, I don't know where Yao'er provoked Lord Chen?"

Zhuo Yao replied: "Miss Yu is very capable, Lord Chen is the head of His Majesty's concubines, and now that the position of queen is vacant, she is the most noble woman in the world." I actually asked Master Chen what he was proud of. Why don't Yu Shangshu and Mrs. Yu tell her themselves? Even if you dare to say disrespectful words in the house, you will enter the palace in the future, and you may not know how to curse behind it! ”

Hearing this, Yu Cheng hurriedly took the eldest lady and Yu Feng to bow down. "Please also ask Lord Chen to calm his anger, Yu Yao has been spoiled since she was a child, and the minister will definitely discipline her harshly in the future. I also asked Master Chen to read the sisterhood, raise your noble hand and let her go. ”

The eldest lady is another pear blossom with rain. "It's because I'm not good, I didn't restrain and discipline Yao'er well, and I asked Master Chen for punishment, and I have no complaints."

"Father, sisterhood, can avoid her punishment for insulting me, she didn't take His Majesty in her eyes just now."

What's more, there is no sisterhood at all, so Yu Zhao doesn't want to spare her at all, but because Chu Zikai instructed that she must make the ministers believe that Yu Mansion is her reliance, and it is not good to tear her face.

At the mention of Emperor Yuan, Yu Cheng was shocked. hurriedly said: "Master Chen, the ugliness of the family must not be publicized, and this matter must not be spread."

Yu Feng also echoed: "Yes, if Your Majesty is angry and pursued, I am afraid that it will also affect Lord Chen."

"Father, of course I know." Yu Zhao seemed to be a reminder, but in fact, he pushed Yu Yao to the cusp. "But Aunt Zhuo Yao also heard it."

Yu Cheng was flustered, Zhuo Yao could be said to be Emperor Yuan's henchman, he had to be a loyal monarch, and quickly stepped forward to pull up Yu Yao, who was kneeling on the ground, and slapped his mouth himself. "Little brute! It's a big rebellion, I should have drowned you if you were born, and I should have lost your daughter! ”

has been pampered since childhood, how can she be like this, Yu Yao was immediately beaten to the point of blood coming out of her mouth, her tears couldn't be stopped, and she couldn't say anything with a whimper.

The eldest lady stepped forward on her knees, wanting to hold Yu Cheng. "Master, don't fight, Yao'er can't stand it." He cried to Zhuo Yao again: "Please also ask my aunt to be considerate of my mother's heart, I will definitely strengthen discipline in the future, if she commits it again, I will personally press her in front of you for you to dispose of."

Zhuo Yao couldn't be moved by his hard work, so he sneered and said: "I just heard what she said, it was instigated by the eldest lady, and the eldest lady is so protective at the moment, the slave has to doubt whether this is true."

If this is the case, both of them are guilty, Yu Feng hurriedly said: "Mother, she can't forgive this crime."

The eldest lady also reacted, endured the distress, and hit Yu Yao with animal power. Feign anger. "Why are you lying so much? How have I taught you this, and today you see how I have taken care of you. ”

Suddenly, someone came to report that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had come down with the Fifth Highness. The people who were in a mess immediately tidied up their appearances and knelt down to greet them.

Chu Zikai came in with Chu Ziyi in his arms. "Yu Shangshu's house is so lively, I heard crying in the front hall."

The autumn wind was bleak, Yu Cheng only felt a cold sweat, and hurriedly apologized: "The ugly things in the minister's family made His Royal Highness the Crown Prince laugh."

Bypassing everyone, Chu Zikai went straight to Yu Zhao, who was sitting in the pavilion, and before he could reach her, Chu Ziyi in his arms leaned out and wanted her to hug him.

"The fifth brother still knows you."

Yu Zhao took it helplessly, looking at this little monster with teeth and claws and smiling. "It's thin, it's not good-looking."

"No, I always don't want to eat, and today is noisy. My father said that he was in love with you, so he asked me to bring it over for you to meet. After Chu Zikai finished speaking, he glanced at the group of people kneeling on the ground, and lowered his voice again: "It's better to take this opportunity to act."

"I don't want to spare them." Yu Zhao replied in a low voice.

"Only this time." After Chu Zikai finished speaking, seeing that she didn't speak, he knew that she acquiesced. Tell Zhuo Yao to explain the ins and outs of the matter.

After Zhuo Yao finished explaining, he didn't forget to say sarcastically: "Miss Fang Cai Yu claims to be the mistress of the East Palace, I wonder if the prince knows about this?"

It was like suddenly: "She was the one who cheekily handed the bell to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince last year, is it still shameless wishful thinking after being returned?"

Chu Zikai looked at Yu Zhao, obviously she wasn't smiling, but for some reason he could feel her pleasure.

Yu Cheng bowed his head and said: "The minister is afraid, Xu is little girl has admired His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for a long time, and today she is crazy to say these rebellious words." I also ask Your Highness to forgive your sins, it is not worth defiling Your Majesty's ears. ”

"This king can be treated as a joke and not investigated, but Miss Yu dares to insult her father, and this crime is not reported by this king." Chu Zikai's tone was fair and selfless, and he mercilessly refused to cover up.

Yu Cheng couldn't, and looked at Yu Zhao for help.

opened the script given by Emperor Chu Zikai in his heart, and Yu Zhao appeared on the stage: "Can you ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to look at my face and let my eldest sister go once." If she is taught a lesson today, she will not do it in the future. ”

Chu Zikai shook his head and refused: "Since Chen Niangniang is the person who inherits the grace of her father, she should respect her father in everything, and she is suspected of shielding her before she enters the palace at this moment, and she is afraid that she will be separated from her father."

"Then it's better for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to go and tell now." Yu Zhao handed Chu Ziyi to Chu Zikai in his hand, as if the scene was repeated, Chu Ziyi immediately cried again, and Yu Zhao turned sideways and ignored it. "Go and ask Your Majesty to accept this heavenly grace, and pay for my family's sins with my merits."

Chu Zikai is so difficult. "This ...... Chen Niang ......" was immediately interrupted by Yu Zhao. "I can't even protect my own family, and this heavenly grace is nothing more than that, if I punish them at this moment, what face do I have to enter the palace as a concubine."

Yu Zhao was not comfortable at all when he said things against his will, but fortunately, there was nothing inconsistent with saying these words with a cold face, and Yu Cheng wiped away his tears, "Lord Chen, the ministers are terrified." ”

"But this king doesn't report it, if the father knows." Chu Zikai still looked embarrassed.

"I am here, and I don't believe that Your Majesty doesn't care about my feelings at all. If I make a fuss, I am afraid that it will hurt the father-son relationship between you and Your Majesty. ”

Yu Cheng, who had been thinking about it, secretly glanced at the two who were arguing, and saw that Chu Zikai really looked thoughtful, and secretly rejoiced that it seemed that His Majesty valued Yu Zhao very much.

After a moment, Chu Zikai asked her as if compromised: "Can Chen Niangniang guarantee that my father will not be angry about this matter and take out anger on others."

"Naturally, and I guarantee with my life that the Yu Mansion will not have the slightest disrespect for His Majesty." After making a promise, he turned to Zhuo Yao who was standing next to him and whispered: "Please also ask my aunt to read it for the sake of you and me, don't let Your Majesty be distracted by this."

Zhuo Yao thought for a moment and said, "Since it is Lord Chen's request, the slave maid will give Yu Mansion a face."

Yu Cheng finally relieved himself, and Chu Zikai ordered to be exempted from the courtesy, and then slowly stood up. When the eldest lady heard this, she also wanted to help Yu Yao, who was crying and had no strength, to get up, but she heard Zhuo Yao say: "Although the Yu Mansion has escaped, those who make mistakes cannot be forgiven, and I ask Master Chen to punish her fairly."

"Father, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Aunt Zhuo Yao are here." It means that I did my best, and it was better to leave it at that, and it was someone else who made her pay. "You can do it."

"Naturally, it should be punished." Yu Cheng replied immediately. The eldest lady's plea for mercy rose again, but Yu Cheng turned a deaf ear and ordered: "Drag the eldest lady down, the family law is two hundred, kneel in the ancestral hall for three days, and you are not allowed to eat for a day."

"Yao'er can't stand it, master, you save her." The eldest lady cried and wanted to keep Yu Yao, who was dragged down by the family, but was pulled by Yu Feng and couldn't get out.

After going back and forth, Yu Yao had to take off a layer of skin if he didn't die, Yu Zhao felt a little more comfortable in his heart, and hugged Chu Ziyi to tease him.

I have to say that the child in front of her is really different from her. Since childhood, I have rarely been liked, and when I met someone who could talk to Yan Yuese, I either took pity on her with kindness, or felt that she had something to use, and I forgot about it immediately after asking her to help. Only this child, who seems to like her very much when he sees her for the first time. liking for no reason, except for his mother, Yu Zhao experienced it for the first time.

Yu Cheng, who was sitting with him, was also thinking about his thoughts, and after this time, his doubts disappeared. Yu Zhao also understood in the end that it would be difficult for her to survive without Yu Mansion. It doesn't matter if the father-daughter relationship is not there, and it doesn't matter if she has hatred for the eldest lady. As long as she understands that she and Yu Mansion are in honor and disgrace, she can wholeheartedly assist her in her progress in the harem.
