In a blink of an eye, Yu Tang, who had just gotten up in the morning, knew that his father and mother had entered the palace for a banquet in the morning, and after getting up and freshening up, he put on a newly made begonia red jacket skirt, gently caressing the dress on his body, Yu Tang couldn't help but sigh in his heart that the handicraft of the ancients was really exquisite, and the embroidery of such a skirt had already used several stitches, and the embroidery thread was really good-looking, and the sun shone sparklingly, Yu Tang has never been a person who likes to dress up plainly. It just so happened that I was celebrating the New Year today, so I wanted to dress up.

After Yu Tang finished dressing up, breakfast was served for some time, and Qingzhi couldn't help urging: "Miss, it's beautiful, let's eat quickly." ”

"Okay, let's eat." Yu Tang stood up and walked to the dining table in the outer hall, as he walked, the ring on his body and the steps on his head jingled, listening to this crisp sound, Yu Tang felt better, and he couldn't help but use more for breakfast.

"Hey, I'm a little bit supportive of eating, you guys come with me for a walk in the yard and eliminate your food." Yu Tang, who had just finished eating, couldn't help but quickly stand up and walk out the door, and Hongxing and Qingzhi hurriedly followed when they heard this.

"By the way, the little girl I bought back a few days ago is healed?" Yu Tang looked at the snow in the yard and suddenly asked.

Qingzhi stepped forward and replied: "I was able to go to the ground a few days ago, and my bones have grown, but I haven't dared to let her do work, thinking that after the New Year, I will call Miss to see how Miss arranges her." ”

Hearing Qingzhi say that he was already able to go to the ground, Yu Tang's eyes suddenly lit up, and he couldn't wait to say to Qingzhi: "Sister Lao Qingzhi is going to call her over now, and I'll ask her something." ”

"Yes, Miss, I'll go."

After a while, Yu Tang saw Qingzhi leading a thin figure into the courtyard, the girl was a little excited as soon as she arrived in front of Yu Tang, tears suddenly oozed from her eyes, and her body knelt straight down, Yu Tang hurriedly supported her with his hand: "Don't be polite, you are just recovering from this serious illness, not to mention that I don't have so many rules." ”

"Miss is the life-saving benefactor of the people's daughter, if it weren't for the miss, it's hard to say whether the people's daughter can live to this day......

Yu Tang helped her up, grabbed her arm, and slowly returned to the yard with her, comforting her as he walked: "Don't cry, from now on, you will not suffer anymore if you follow me, and don't say that you will die or not, we all have to live well, then again, I vaguely remember that your name is Ling'er, right?" ”

"Miss Hui's words, the folk girl is called Ling'er, but that's just the name that the person changed to me, my real name is Chu Jingjing, my home is in Pingyang County, but when I was nine years old, a famine caused by a flood in Pingyang County made me lose all my relatives, it was at that time, I was taken away by that person, he took me away not to save me, but to treat me as food, I almost became a dead soul in his mouth, but later he found out that I simply knew some medical skills, so he had a crooked idea, took me to the pit to be abducted, and cheated others out of a lot of money, Later, when I was finally discovered, he fled with me, and later went on stage for a sick little girl in the team when I was doing chores in the troupe, and then I learned some martial arts that can make the body lighter, just like that, learn a little from the east, learn a little from the west, and wander all the way around until I arrived in the capital, and after arriving in the capital, he asked me to take out the things I learned in the troupe and juggle, as long as there is a little bit of bad work, it is a beating and scolding, so many years, as long as he makes money, he will squander the casino Qinglou, I can't live like that anymore......"

In the end, Ling'er was a little choked, Yu Tang was also very distressed when she heard it, and couldn't help but clench her hand, only to realize that her hands were full of thick calluses, and she couldn't help but curse the beast in her heart.

"Ling'er, no, you won't be called Ling'er anymore in the future, you will be here with me from tonight, I will definitely take care of you! I'll call you Jingjing in the future, okay? ”

The girl wiped her tears, looked at the gentle woman in front of her with red eyes, and finally shook her head gently, and slowly spoke: "The folk girl is grateful to Miss Yu, and she will serve Miss faithfully in the future, and I also know that the young lady calls me Jingjing for my good, but the folk girl asks the young lady to change her name, 'Jingjing' reminds me of my family, but they are all gone, and all the pain in the past, the folk girl wants to let him be sealed in her memory and no longer sad for it." ”

Yu Tang nodded clearly, "Okay, then I'll give you a new name, the two maids next to me are like sisters to me, and you are also our sisters from now on, why don't you call it Yushu, how about it, do you like this name?" ”

"Thank you, Miss, I like it very much, Yushu will definitely serve Miss wholeheartedly in the future."

"It's all a trivial matter, by the way, Yushu, do you know how to heal and martial arts?"

Yushu nodded lightly a little shyly: "It's just a little fur, it's nothing." ”

Yu Tang looked at her expectantly and continued: "It's good to know a little, Yushu will teach me when I have time, and I will also feel what it is like to know martial arts." ”

"If the young lady wants to learn, the slave and maid will definitely teach her."

"Good! Then we will decide, but you take care of your body first, these are not in a hurry, and there will be time later. ”

In the afternoon, the palace banquet finally ended, and the Yu couple were able to return home, Yu Tang's eldest brother and second brother also returned home with the Yu family......

──────────────── dividing line ────────────────

On this day, Yu's mother was staring at her in Yu Tang's room to practice embroidery, and said casually: "This New Year's Festival is over in a blink of an eye, this year's spring is not as cold as in previous years, but Tang'er, you should wear more when you go out, if you hurt the wind and cold, it will be very uncomfortable." ”

"My daughter knows, mother, how long will I have to embroider?" Yu Tang rubbed his sour wrist and said coquettishly to Yu's mother.

Mother Yu glanced at Yu Tang's embroidery, only to see that it was only halfway through the embroidery, so she glanced at her and said slowly: "Finish embroidering this butterfly dance picture today, if you don't finish embroidering, you don't want to go out." ”

Yu Tang wanted to cry without tears when he heard this, but he had no choice but to continue embroidering.

When Yu Tang was silently embroidering, he only heard a rush of footsteps outside, and then Steward Ye's voice sounded outside the door: "Madam, the general has something important to ask Madame to discuss!" ”

Mrs. Yu didn't seem to know what was going on so quickly, so she could only tell Yu Tang to embroider carefully, and then opened the door and walked towards the main courtyard with Steward Ye.

As soon as she pushed open the door of the study in the main courtyard, she saw General Yu pacing back and forth in the room, as if she was very uneasy, Mrs. Yu hurriedly closed the door and asked, "What is the Xianggong calling me so urgently, is there something going on in the court?" ”

General Yu looked at Mrs. Yu with some concern: "Madam, this morning the pilgrimage decreed that the draft will officially start on the sixth day of the first month of next month, and the show girls in each county will be selected by the county order one by one. ”

"What?!" When Mrs. Yu heard this, she felt a chill, her legs weakened, and she hurriedly sat down on a chair.

"Husband, you and I only have this one daughter, how can Tang'er enter the palace with that temperament? Why don't we beg the emperor, don't Tang'er go to the draft? Mrs. Yu couldn't accept it for a while, and looked at Yu Chengyi with a pair of teary eyes.

"Madam, you also know that this is impossible, Your Majesty's will has been made, not to mention that the Yu family is on the cusp of this kind of storm, Your Majesty said that it is impossible not to be afraid of the Yu family, if we ask for it at this time, I am afraid that not only will we not be able to ask for the will, but it will also make Your Majesty feel that the Yu family is proud of their achievements, and I am afraid that it will cause more trouble."

"What can I do about this, how can Tang'er go to a place like the palace that eats people? My begonia woo woo woo ......"

A knock on the door suddenly sounded, and then Yu Tang's voice came: "Mother, I've finished embroidering, why don't you bring it in and show it to your mother?" ”

Mrs. Yu hurriedly wiped the tears on her face with a handkerchief and called her in, Yu Tang walked to Mrs. Yu with an embroidered bandage when she entered the house, "Mother, look, I embroidered it beautifully this time, I have been embroidering this butterfly for a long time." ”

"Tang'er embroidered beautifully, what Daddy's Tang'er does is so satisfying to Daddy's mother." Mrs. Yu smiled and took Yu Tang's hand and said to her.

"I know that my mother loves me the most~" Yu Tang shook Mrs. Yu's arm and said coquettishly, turned his head to General Yu after speaking, looked back and forth between the two, hesitated for a moment and said slowly: "Tang'er came a little earlier just now, and I heard what my father and mother were saying, Tang'er didn't mean to, she just happened to bump into it, and she didn't dare to come in and disturb, so she waited outside for a while." ”

General Yu also guessed that she should already know, so he paced back to the desk and looked at Yu Tang: "What does Tang'er think?" ”

"Father and mother don't have to be entangled, since Your Majesty has made an order in this matter, there is no room for turnaround, and we can't disobey the will of the saint, and my daughter will enter the palace for the draft."

Mrs. Yu looked at Yu Tang disapprovingly, and said in a sad tone: "Tang'er, do you know the danger of entering the palace?" ”

"My daughter knows the tiger's den in Longtan in this palace, but maybe my daughter entering the palace is also the best way now, the Yu family is far from being as beautiful as it seems on the surface, and it has been pushed to the cusp, we have no choice, I will enter the palace obediently, maybe the saint will be more at ease with the Yu family...... What's more, in this situation, Daddy, I know that you have always disliked to get involved in these struggles, but now the Holy Lord does not trust the Yu family as before, we have to make plans early, I have been in contact with the prince a few days ago, and I have also had a brief contact with the third prince, and my daughter feels that although the third prince seems to be deeply favored by the saint, but this person's mind is far less deep than the prince, and the prince is not as kind as he faced, this person is very calculating, but maybe there is the ability to protect the Yu family......"

Hearing Yu Tang's words, General Yu's brows furrowed even deeper, and he said to Yu Tang with a cold face: "Tang'er, these words are not something that you can say as a woman who has not left the cabinet, how can the affairs of the court and China be recognized clearly from one side to the other, don't talk nonsense in the future, you go back with your mother, Dad still has important things here." ”

"Yes, daddy, then daddy don't have to be tired, my daughter will retire first."

Mrs. Yu left the study with Yu Tang in her arms, and Mrs. Yu hurriedly warned Yu Tang: "Tang'er, these words are only allowed to be said this time, and you don't have to talk about the court in the future......"

Yu Tang responded on the one hand, and secretly calculated in his heart how to convince his father, and how to mention this matter to the prince, but he was not in a hurry, he was going to enter the palace draft next month, and he should have the opportunity to meet the prince.
