Chapter 93 Don’t Be My Lover, Be My Concubine (Twenty)
The next morning, Nanny Cui came to call for help. Yu Huo closed his eyes tightly and buried his head in the quilt, as if he was trying to cover up his own mistakes.
Jiang Ye had already gotten up, turned his wheelchair to the bedside, reached out to pull aside the quilt, and poked Yu Huo's cheek.
A cool temperature spread, and Yu Huo subconsciously grasped it and opened his eyes full of fatigue.
Jiang Ye looked at his clasped hands and said in a low voice, "It's time to go to the palace."
Yu Huo let out a long cry and subconsciously put the other person's cold palm on his cheek to wake himself up. After a long while, he slowly sat up and stretched.
Then he pulled open his collar and casually took off his inner garment.
The spoiled boy had smooth and delicate skin and beautiful muscular lines. Jiang Ye felt as if his eyes were out of control and he couldn't move them away.
Yu Huo chose a light green coat of the same style as Jiang Ye. He rarely wore such plain clothes, but this color made his cold and handsome face look more kind.
He got out of bed, looked in the mirror, and nodded secretly. He seemed to look even better. Why was he so handsome?
During this time, he glanced at the person behind him who was already dressed neatly through the mirror. His eyes brushed against the other person's dark eyes, and he found that his eyes were still calm, so he sighed in his heart.
He is indeed not capable of this, right?
Thinking of this, Yu Huo was too lazy to flirt anymore and turned around to go out to wash and tidy up his appearance. The person in the room seemed to have just come to his senses, staring at his palm in a daze, then slowly and carefully put it on his cheek, sighing with satisfaction.
Nanny Cui, who was standing in the corner, looked at the young man washing his face in the yard, with even more pity in her eyes.
When the two of them went out, the sky was just getting light, but there were quite a few pedestrians on the road, many of whom were candidates dressed as scholars. They gathered outside the Imperial Examination Hall, waiting for the results to be announced.
Yu Huo lifted the curtain and took a look, then suddenly asked, "Have you taken care of the affairs of the northern candidates?"
Jiang Ye seemed to have not rested well, and his expression was a little dazed. Yu Huo spoke for several seconds before slowly responding: "Many candidates related to the Wan family did not take the exam, and some did not answer the papers properly. As for the remaining few, we can use some methods to prevent them from taking the exam. These people are not well-known in the capital, so no one will pay attention to them."
Yu Huo nodded, lowered the curtain, looked at the person opposite with a smile: "Then we just have to wait and see the show."
After saying that, he leaned against the car wall, his brows showing a hint of laziness and his eyes were unfocused.
Jiang Ye tilted his head to look outside the car, and saw the square palace gate in the distance. He clasped his fingers against the car window, and for the first time, he felt anxious about the arrival of that day.
The emperor had not yet attended the morning court, and he met them hurriedly while sitting in the palace. Seeing how much of a perfect match they were, the guilt in his heart dissipated a little.
The Queen's words were still ringing in her ears. She said, "Yer's health isn't good. If she likes it, just let her do it. Besides, the Yu family is special. Why not make them a couple? This will be good for both of them..."
Yes, Old Madam Yu has been on high alert these years and has not given him any chance to harm the eldest son of the Yu family. Fortunately, although he has been mischievous over the years, he has not left any children. Now that he has married the princess, he is an uneducated man, so he can only dream of taking a concubine if he wants to.
Thinking of this, the Emperor looked at the two of them with a softer gaze, and asked softly, "I heard that Wen Tanhua stopped the wedding carriage on the day of the wedding?"
Jiang Ye lowered his head slightly and said nothing.
Yu Huo, on the other hand, stood up and said indignantly, "Reporting to the emperor, that Wen Tanhua is really outrageous. If I hadn't risked my life to fight him, I'm afraid he would have ruined my marriage!"
"I have heard some of what happened that day." The emperor lowered his head and took a sip of tea. "Don't be so foolish next time. The princess is not feeling well. Don't make her worry."
Yu Huo responded obediently.
There was a moment of silence in the hall. Coincidentally, the emperor's personal eunuch quickly stepped forward and said softly, "Your Majesty, it's time for you to attend the morning court."
"So fast?" The emperor glanced at the sky outside and frowned slightly.
The eunuch consoled him, "Why don't you let the princess and her husband go to see the Empress first? You can go to Kunning Palace after the court session. Then the whole family will be together and it will be easier for them to talk."
The emperor glanced at the eunuch beside him and laughed mischievously: "Okay, let's go see your mother first."
The two of them left as instructed and went to Kunning Palace.
After arriving at the palace, Jiang Ye went into the inner room alone. He was bored and looked at the flowers and drank tea in the hall. The queen never summoned him.
The two did not leave the palace until the sun rose high in the sky, and during this time, the emperor did not come to look for them.
It wasn't that they didn't want to come, but when the list came out, the candidates immediately started to riot. There were even fights between candidates from the north and south, and several were arrested and imprisoned.
Although it won't be serious enough to deprive you of your fame and honor, you will definitely be locked up and suffer for a few days.
On the way back, Jiang Ye's mood was still not very high. Yu Huo looked at the candidates who were still making noise at the entrance of the Imperial Examination Hall, and his eyes drifted back to him. He asked casually, "Did the Queen say anything to you?"
"Nothing." Jiang Ye seemed unwilling to talk more.
Yu Huo asked, "Why do you look unhappy?"
There was silence in the car for a few seconds, and Jiang Ye sighed: "The Queen Mother's health has worsened. I don't know how long she can hold on."
Yu Huo's expression froze for a moment, and he was madly dissing the system in his heart: When did the Queen die in the original world line?
[Unjust Species 945: Just these few days... I think it's the day after tomorrow.]
Hearing this, he looked up at her with a helpless look in his eyes: "If you are really worried, why don't you go to the palace more often to accompany her these few days?"
Jiang Ye shook his head: "Let's wait until the day after tomorrow to move back to the Princess' Mansion. If I go back to the palace all the time and it gets out, I'm afraid your parents will lose face..."
Yu Huo chuckled softly, "Don't worry. Over the years, Yu Sanshui and I have made them thick-skinned. They are so invulnerable and calm that even if you burn down the house out of boredom, they won't get angry."
“…”
The two of them returned to the Yu Mansion together. When the carriage was lowered to the ground, Yu Huo stood in front of Aunt Cui and very consciously turned behind the wheelchair to push Jiang Ye into the yard.
The ancients attached great importance to etiquette. The new daughter-in-law had to serve tea to her husband's parents and relatives on the second day. If she were an ordinary daughter-in-law, she would have to go to her mother-in-law's yard before dawn to pay her respects. However, as Princess Jiang Ye, she did not have to follow the etiquette too rigidly.
Entering the main hall, Yu Kangping and Madam Yu, who had just finished their court, sat in front. Madam Yu saw that the little bastard Yu Huo was actually pushing the princess obediently from behind, and the "couple" treated each other with respect. She couldn't help but feel relieved, and her tense body relaxed instantly: "Ye'er, there's no need to be so formal. Let Huo'er prepare it."
Jiang Ye lowered his head and pretended to be obedient: "Yes."
After saying this, he looked at the young man beside him and chuckled, "Thank you, husband?"
Yu Huo met his gaze, and it was as if he saw stars mixed in the two handfuls of clear spring water, and the shimmering light was particularly beautiful.
It was not until Mrs. Yu coughed violently that she turned away with red ears.
