Chapter 296 This is the student's wife.

The sky was gloomy, the red palace walls were cold, and the undulating glazed tiles on the eaves of the Hall of Mental Cultivation lacked their former splendor.

Yu Tingwan pushed Wei Zhao into the hall under the guidance of Eunuch Tu, lowered her eyes, and did not look around.

Emperor Ying Qian was wearing a dragon robe, sitting beside the throne in the Golden Palace, reviewing memorials. Listening to the movement, she looked up.

His aura was intimidating, with the royal majesty of Jin Zhao Yucui.

Wei Zhao put his hands on the armrests and tried to stand up with difficulty. But he tried twice, panting with exhaustion, but to no avail.

"Madam."

He asked Yu Tingwan for help.

"Help me up and pay my respects to the emperor."

Yu Tingwan first paid her respects to Emperor Ying Qian as Tan Jiang had taught her, and then tried to help him.

Emperor Ying Qian stopped him.

"If you are not feeling well, don't bother with it."

Eunuch Tu's eyes turned and he said hurriedly, "General Wei, the emperor has always loved you and naturally doesn't care about these empty formalities. The emperor will be happy only if you get well."

Wei Zhao was not moved.

He sighed faintly.

Yu Tingwan was very depressed when he heard this man.

"I am really useless now."

Emperor Ying Qian frowned and scolded like an elder: "What are you talking about!"

"You are lucky to be alive."

"Guizhi, I am very grateful that you can return safely."

He said in the tone of looking at his own juniors: "In public, you are a meritorious official of the Great Jin Dynasty. In private, you grew up under my care, just like my own son."

If these words were changed to someone else, who would not be confused.

Wei Zhao's eyes were covered with coldness.

Emperor Ying Qian did not forget the business. He looked at Yu Tingwan. His tone was different from the softness when he spoke to Wei Zhao. There was a heavy majesty and scrutiny.

"You are Yu?"

Yu Tingwan lowered her head and said, "Your Majesty, yes."

Emperor Ying Qian turned the ring on his finger, unable to guess what he was thinking.

Eunuch Tu was about to remind Yu Tingwan to kneel down to answer.

Wei Zhao grabbed Yu Tingwan's hand and said, "Your Majesty."

Emperor Ying Qian was surprised.

"I haven't said anything yet, and you're protecting me?"

"No matter what else, if you can come back safely, Yu will have a merit, and I can still eat her?"

He looked at Yu Tingwan condescendingly, "Since Gui Zhifei has identified you, I can't say anything else. You must learn the etiquette of going to the capital, don't lose his face, take good care of him, and serve your mother-in-law well. Otherwise, I will only ask you!"

The girl's emotions were not written on her face.

She said dryly, "I will obey the order of the emperor."

If it was said by her father-in-law Wei Fengxing, it would be justified. But when Emperor Ying Qian said that, Yu Tingwan was more or less disgusted.

What about Wei Zhao.

He blocked them and said, "My wife is timid and still young. Since she is willing to follow me, I should be the one protecting her. Don't scare her."

Emperor Ying Qian said nothing more. He gave a jade ruyi and continued to question Wei Zhao.

Yu Tingwan just listened quietly on the side, and didn't speak if he could.

As for Wei Zhao.

His reply was a bit perfunctory, but Emperor Ying Qian didn't hear it.

Emperor Ying Qian didn't keep them for long and soon asked them to go to the banquet hall.

After seeing the young couple leave, Eunuch Tu poured tea for Emperor Ying Qian and said with a smile, "Yu is dull and doesn't know how to deal with things. When she saw your majesty, she was so scared that she even forgot the rules and respect for the emperor."

It was funny.

"After all, she came from a remote place, she doesn't know the power of the dragon, and she doesn't know fear."

If it was another young lady, I'm afraid that the emperor would have made a fortune and would have been scared to death.

Emperor Ying Qian's eyes were heavy.

"He cares about Yu."

What a pity.

The more you care about, the more weaknesses you will have. Just like Wei Fengxing.

————

There was no distinction between male and female seats in the banquet hall. Officials brought their female relatives and children and sat according to their ranks.

Because the emperor and the queen of the palace were not present, those who knew each other sat together and talked and laughed.

However...

not everyone was joking.

For example, the Gu family in front. The people

from the Taifu Mansion came very early.

Jiashan has been cultivating himself these years, but today, I don’t know what happened. He looked at the woman who came to pay her respects with different eyes and different noses.

She always dressed up and rarely wore the same jewelry.

The court ladies always praised her again and again.

But Jiashan looked a little haggard today. He didn’t care about his makeup and the jewelry he wore.

The court ladies opened their eyes and said a lot of good things as usual, but they were just digging holes.

For example.

Mrs. Wang smiled and said.

"Madam, you are really radiant today, but has something good happened?"

Jiashan looked over coldly.

"Your son went to a brothel not long ago, and the people from Jingzhao Prefecture went to catch criminals. They searched the rooms one by one, and all the suspects were caught."

"Seeing that your son was hiding, they tied him up. I heard that he was naked and his butt was bare?"

Mrs. Wang: ? ? ?

"Madam Wang, your daughter-in-law is married far away, right? It's ok that you treat her harshly. She just had a miscarriage less than half a month ago, and your son is still playing outside. Instead of being attentive to me, you might as well think about how to treat your daughter-in-law better. Her family background is not worse than your Wang family. She was also pampered when she was still in the boudoir. Don't think that because her parents' home is far away, you can abuse other girls at will."

Jiashan: "She married your Wang family, not to be your slave."

Gu Fuju didn't say anything.

Jiashan felt unhappy and had been holding it in for a long time. It was good to vent his anger.

Madam Zhou also brought Zhou Yurou to pay her respects.

"Madam, this is my daughter, you have met her too."

"Where is your daughter?"

"The two children are of similar age, let Yurou..."

Before he finished speaking.

Jiashan was annoyed just by looking at her, and attacked indiscriminately.

"Is it so great to have a daughter? You brought her to me to show off?"

"I just heard that you took advantage of your age to bully the young lady of the Wei family?"

Madam Zhou's face changed, and she said hurriedly: "Madam, you may have heard it wrong. It was the young lady of the Wei family..."

She hesitated to speak.

Finally, she whispered: "After all, she is not a lady in our Shangjing who was raised by a teacher and a etiquette nanny since childhood."

"She was not taught the rules, and her family is not good enough."

Jiashan didn't want to listen to this: "Don't think I don't know your thoughts. Putting aside other things, the girl is good to me because she can be liked by the son of the Wei family. Is it your turn to show off?"

On this side, Xiao Huaiyan, wearing gorgeous clothes, sat directly next to He Xuran, and said sarcastically.

"But what can I do? Wei Zhao is back, and you, the eternal second child, will be suppressed in everything again."

"I couldn't study as well as him before, and I was promoted slower than him. Now he has a wife all of a sudden. And you are still alone."

He Xuran was too lazy to pay attention to him.

He was happy that Wei Zhao was back. After all, it was lonely at the top, but he had something on his mind.

Seeing that he didn't say anything, Xiao Huaiyan was bored. He raised his chin towards the Gu family seat: "What's wrong with your sister? So aggressive?"

He Xuran ignored him.

Xiao Huaiyan was upset and stood up to leave.

Suddenly there was a commotion.

He didn't need to look to know that Wei Zhao had arrived.

Xiao Huaiyan stretched his neck to look over there.

Princess Jiashan, who was arguing with the Zhou family mother and daughter in front, happened to be looking over there . The palace

lanterns were lit in the four corners of the hall, and the solemn palace banquet was shrouded in splendor.

The girl had a bun, her hair was as white as a freshly peeled water chestnut, her eyes were like autumn water and her lips were bright. A teardrop mole at the end of her eye made her look even more charming.

She wore a dress embroidered with gold and colorful patterns, and the hem of her skirt was layered, as agile as flowing water. Her waist was full of beautiful and delicate gold beads.

It was as if the painting had come alive, and was walking closer to her.

Jiashan's eyes suddenly turned red, and she lost her voice.

Master Gu, who was always the most calm, only heard the crisp sound of ding-dang-dang.

He lost his composure and smashed the teacup in his hand, and his robe was stained. For a moment, he could not care about anything else, but just walked quickly over there.

Before he got closer, he heard Wei Zhao's surprised voice asking knowingly.

"Teacher, what's wrong?"

Wei Zhao smiled warmly: "By the way, I haven't introduced you yet. This is my student's wife."
