Chapter 256: Confucian Shixuan's Celebration Banquet
Liu Wenjing is pregnant, which is not a good thing for Yu Qiuyu.
If Liu Wenjing relied on her belly to regain Zhao Zhichen's favor, once she gained power, how could Liu Wenjing let herself go?
After all, the book of sins was taken out by oneself.
The subordinates of the Zhao Mansion passed the news to Zhao Zhichen, Yu Qiuyu was shocked and worried, she looked at Zhao Zhichen's face cautiously, if Liu Wenjing really embarrassed herself, Zhao Zhichen would condone Liu Wenjing or help herself speak as before.
Hearing the news of Liu Wenjing's pregnancy, Zhao Zhichen's eyes deepened a little, and he lowered his eyes, as if he was thinking about something.
I don't know why, Yu Qiuyu felt that after learning the news of Liu Wenjing's pregnancy, Zhao Zhichen was not so happy.
After a long time, Zhao Zhichen opened his mouth again.
"When did it be, how many months has the child been?"
Zhao Zhichen actually asked this question?
Yu Qiuyu was stunned at the time, Zhao Zhichen was suspicious of this child? So doesn't it mean that Zhao Zhichen still suspects Song Zhe, and he still suspects the one between Song Zhe and Liu Wenjing.
Liu Wenjing was suspected by Zhao Zhichen or not, Yu Qiuyu didn't care.
But Yu Qiuyu was worried about whether this would become a pimple in Zhao Zhichen's heart.
Although Zhao Zhichen knows very well that this is Liu Wenjing's frame-up, but his woman has an unclear relationship with other men, what husband in this world will have no guilt?
Zhao Zhichen is a prince, but he is also a layman, Yu Qiuyu doesn't believe that Zhao Zhichen will not care at all.
Yu Qiuyu couldn't help but look up at Song Zhe who was standing beside Zhao Zhichen, to be honest, she was a little worried.
The imperial doctor said for a while, Zhao Zhichen hesitated, and finally, nodded slowly.
"Madame, how is she now?"
"Madame was drenched in the rain, sick, and hit hard, so she was bedridden, and if she didn't take care of it well, I was afraid that the child would not be able to be saved."
The doctor replied truthfully.
"Then take out those tonics in my house and give them to Madame to replenish her body, and the rest doesn't have to go back to me."
I don't know why, Yu Qiuyu felt that Zhao Zhichen's attitude was a little perfunctory, and he didn't seem to care about the arrival of this child.
The imperial doctor retreated, Zhao Zhichen's expression was serious, Yu Qiuyu and Song Zhe were very discerning, and they closed their mouths at the right time and did not speak.
"Lord Yu, have you sorted out the public cases that the official asked you to sort out?"
Zhao Zhichen looked at Yu Yifan with a calm expression, and began to ask about official affairs, as if he had not heard the news that Liu Wenjing suspected.
Yu Qiuyu really doesn't know whether to say whether this Lord Zhao is obsessed with work, resentful or unkind.
Liu Wenjing is pregnant with his child, can he actually act so indifferent?
"Qiu Yu, Song Zhe, you go down first, I will hold a banquet for you at noon tomorrow."
Zhao Zhichen seemed to notice that Liu Wenjing and Song Zhe were standing beside him, opened his mouth to explain, and then began to flip through the documents such as military affairs that Yu Yifan had sorted out.
Yu Qiuyu and Song Zhe glanced at each other and retreated tacitly.
The atmosphere in the room is really a little depressing, so it's better to quit early.
After the two withdrew, Yu Qiuyu finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, it seems that Zhao Zhichen is on Song Zhe's side and does not think too much about this matter.
"What are you nervous about?"
Hearing Yu Qiuyu's sigh, Song Zhe asked in surprise.
Yu Qiuyu turned her head to look at him, "What am I sighing for, don't you know?" What about the tacit understanding? β
She really wanted to roll her eyes at Song Zhe.
Can you stop being so naΓ―ve?
Why did she sigh, was it not because she was worried that Zhao Zhichen would pursue Liu Wenjing for framing Song Zhe?
Although it is said that Liu Wenjing deliberately framed Song Zhe, there was physical contact between the two after all, which was taboo in ancient times when men and women did not kiss.
"However, I heard that Madame's father is nothing serious, why is Madame still so worried, and even fell ill in a hurry?"
Liu Chengxiang seems to have just been fined and grounded, and there is no big punishment, could it be said that Liu Wenjing is his father's Yulu?
Then Yu Qiuyu really didn't know what to say.
"Prime Minister Liu Cheng was able to escape the heavy punishment, it was a complete fluke, the second prince and others put all the blame on Wu Yong, and Chen Wencai, who helped them do things, is dead, so Wu Yong has become their most direct scapegoat, in fact, Mrs. also knows that as long as His Royal Highness no longer pursues it, Prime Minister Liu Cheng will be fine."
In the end, it's all about power struggles.
Yu Qiuyu is smart and bright, and the rest doesn't need Song Zhe to say more, Yu Qiuyu has already guessed one or two.
In the final analysis, this is just a game set up by Zhao Zhichen and Song Zhe.
A bureau that invites you into the urn.
Since Zhao Zhichen was framed by the second prince and demoted to Lingnan, Song Zhe and Zhao Zhichen have been in a passive situation, facing the second prince and Liu Chengxiang and their step-by-step pressing, Zhao Zhichen and Song Zhe have no choice but to guard against their calculations.
Now, it's just the first step in their initiative.
Yu Qiuyu asked, and he didn't plan to continue asking.
This made Song Zhe quite puzzled, he still had a lot of questions for Yu Qiuyu to answer.
"Why don't you continue asking?"
Yu Qiuyu touched his nose, "I think your court battle is too complicated, I think it's not good for me to know too much, it's better to be confused when it's appropriate." β
Well, yes, it's better to be confused.
Song Zhe looked at Yu Qiuyu's pretentious little appearance, and couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth.
It's good to know a little less, about him and Zhao Zhichen, does Yu Qiuyu know less about the inside story?
I'm afraid, even Liu Wenjing doesn't know as much as she knows, right?
On the second day, Yu Qiuyu unexpectedly learned that the place that Zhao Zhichen arranged for them to celebrate was the Confucian Food Pavilion.
The Confucian Food Pavilion has been closed for a long time, and Zhao Zhichen heard from others that the Confucian Food Pavilion was closed because of Liu Wenjing's difficulties, so he deliberately arranged the place to eat at the Confucian Food Pavilion.
They come to eat in person, and the Confucian restaurant can be officially opened.
To be honest, Yu Qiuyu didn't want to come to Ru Shixuan, after all, she and Ru Shixuan had a bit of an unpleasant quarrel before.
But Zhao Zhichen was so gracious that she had to come.
Yu Qiuyu and Song Zhe came to the Confucian Pavilion at the specified time, the boss of the Confucian Pavilion had already been waiting at the door of the Confucian Pavilion, and when they saw Yu Qiuyu walking in, the face of the boss of the Confucian Pavilion was embarrassed and guilty, and Yu Qiuyu was also a little uncomfortable.
"Lord Song, Miss Yu, hurry, please come inside."
The boss was extremely polite to Yu Qiuyu and Song Zhe, and now Yu Qiuyu's worth is different.
Yu Qiuyu was an ordinary folk girl before, she had no power, and she was even bullied by the power.
But what about the current Yu Qiuyu, he is the lord of Wupin County canonized by the imperial court, and his status is noble, which of them must not treat Yu Qiuyu respectfully.
Yu Qiuyu walked upstairs with Song Zhe.
But at the corner of the stairs, Yu Qiuyu felt someone pull her sleeve.
She turned her head to see that the boss was looking at her with an embarrassed expression, as if he had a request for her.
But she didn't plan to help Ru Shixuan anymore.
"Is there anything wrong with you?"
Yu Qiuyu turned to look at the office and said coldly.
"Qiu Yu, that's the case, can you take a step to speak?"
The boss of Ru Shixuan tentatively opened his mouth, and there were many pleading meanings in his words.
"However, now it's Lord Zhao's banquet, I'm going to the adult's banquet, it's not good to be late, so, boss, I'm missing."
Yu Qiuyu implicitly and tactfully refused.
She knows that although the boss of Rushixuan is timid and afraid, he is a little insatiable, and he doesn't know how to innovate, let alone how to operate.
When he saw that Ru Shixuan's business was bleak, he would definitely think of himself, and when he saw that he had brought trouble to Ru Shixuan, or that his reputation was bad and he got into trouble, he would definitely push himself away without hesitation.
So this time, Yu Qiuyu decided to refuse the help of the boss of Rushixuan, even if his family of three could only use Yu Yifan's money every day.
Even if their family is a little poorer.
She won't be helping the Confucian Restaurant, let alone the unsympathetic Boss of the Confucian Restaurant.
Yu Qiuyu didn't pay attention to the boss of the Confucian Restaurant's request for help, but turned around and walked into the room where Zhao Zhichen was holding a banquet.
They didn't come early, Zhao Zhichen was already sitting in the house waiting.
"You two, you're late."
Seeing Yu Qiuyu and Song Zhe coming in, Zhao Zhichen couldn't help but tease, "Remember to punish three glasses of wine." β
Song Zhe dragged away the stool and sat down with Yu Qiuyu.
"I admit to the punishment of three glasses of wine, but the little woman in the autumn rain is not strong enough to drink, and I contracted her glasses of wine."
Zhao Zhichen smiled gently, and teased meaningfully: "You are really confused, if Qiu Yu is drunk and she is so petite, you can send her home, so that you can be a hero and protect the beauty, and you can also get the heart of the beauty." β
When Yu Qiuyu heard this, she couldn't help twitching the corners of her mouth.
The suave Zhao Zhichen also tells jokes?
The polite Zhao Zhichen would be so bold?
Yu Qiuyu is right again, people can't be good-looking, and the sea can't fight.
However, this is indeed Zhao Zhichen's uncommon side.
Because Zhao Zhichen is a big man, the boss personally brought the food to the dishes, and when he saw Yu Qiuyu sitting next to Song Zhe and Yu Yifan, the boss's face was a little disappointed.
Yu Qiuyu knew what the boss was thinking, and she also knew what the boss was disappointed and sorry for, but she was really sorry, she Yu Qiuyu was very disappointed in Ru Shixuan.
"Autumn rain."
Zhao Zhichen suddenly raised his glass to Yu Qiuyu.
"I want to thank you for your clever plan, if you hadn't planned and deceived Wu Yong, maybe I really wouldn't have been able to break this game."
Wu Yong is a small chess piece planted by the second prince in Lingnan, but no one would have thought that it was actually a chess piece that affected the overall situation in the end?
