"Brother Yu, where did you go just now?"
As soon as she returned to the crowd, Yu Zhao heard a familiar friend asking her in confusion. She looked indifferent and answered slowly, "I went to appreciate the flowers."
"Hahaha, why are you admiring other flowers when Miss Chunyuan is here?"
Yu Zhao curled his lips slightly: "That's different."
What she rewarded was a body that was truly worth a fortune, a national peony.
"Major General..."
Chun Yuan came closer reluctantly.
The princess ordered her to send Yu Zhao away, but as soon as she came over, Yu Zhao seemed to be attracted by something and ignored her at all. He turned around and disappeared where he was.
Now that the other party has finally returned, she can only muster up her courage and approach cautiously.
Yu Zhao frowned calmly and spoke before Chun Yuan could say anything: "I seemed to see the princess looking for you just now."
"Ah?" Chun Yuan was stunned for a moment, then she didn't care about anything else and ran back holding up her skirt.
Yu Zhao watched her leave, and then thought about the equally silly and cowardly little princess, and couldn't help laughing in his heart - what is this, a slave is like his master?
"Speaking of the princess, I heard that His Majesty seems to be interested in letting Ke Hui be the consort of this princess." The friend lowered his voice and said to Yu Zhao slyly, "If he becomes the consort of the princess, he can't interfere in the court. I wonder if the new number one scholar is willing to do that."
Yu Zhao raised his eyes and looked at Ke Hui.
At this moment, the other party was standing in a peach blossom forest, reciting poems and composing lyrics with an intoxicated look on his face. Although his works were not very good, his face was full of pride and complacency.
Yu Zhao had been fighting on the battlefield before, and had always kept his distance from the literati in the court. But looking at them again now, he inexplicably felt a sense of rejection and disgust.
She lowered her eyes and said slowly, "Compared to the matter of Princess Shang, I am more concerned about whether the Hezhou examiner's allegations of favoritism and fraud are true."
The friend was startled and looked around quickly, then whispered, "Are you crazy? That thing is not true yet. If you talk about it rashly, what if you say something wrong and someone secretly hates you? You know how eye-catching you are now with all your achievements. Even the emperor has been looking at you with a strange look recently. If you make a mistake, I'm afraid you will lose your head!"
Yu Zhao calmed down and was silent for a long time before shaking his head and saying, "Forget it, let's just enjoy the flowers."
The friend agreed and said with a smile: "Yes, it's a beautiful spring day. There's no point in talking about worldly matters. We should just enjoy the flowers!"
**
Bo Chi sprained his ankle and was helped back to the palace by Chun Yuan. Not long after that, he saw his own mother coming with a female doctor.
The female doctor carefully examined the injuries, left a few words of advice, and then left the space to them.
"Tell me." Without the outsiders, the Queen no longer maintained the royal etiquette. She poked Bo Chi's forehead with a finger and said with gritted teeth: "Where did you go to make trouble again? Huh? You even sprained your ankle. Are you going to go fishing for the moon tomorrow?"
Bo Chi weakly corrected her: "The moon is in the sky."
The queen was so angry that she laughed: "I'm calling you stupid, and you're really stupid enough to argue with me?"
Thin wings "..."
No personal attacks QAQ
After all, she was the apple of her eye. The queen scolded her a few times, but seeing that she was aggrieved, she couldn't help but hug her and coax her: "After all, I'm worried that with your temper, you won't get married well in the future. You came of age last year, and the emperor has been looking for a prince consort for you since then. After much selection, he finally chose this year's number one scholar."
"I heard that the number one scholar is a handsome man with outstanding literary talent. The emperor thought that after you get married, you will play the zither while he composes poems, and you will play music while he paints." The queen was filled with worry as she spoke: "But has your majesty forgotten? You don't know how to write, and you have never even touched a needle and thread. If you get married in the future, what will you have to talk to your husband about?"
Bo Chi snuggled up to her obediently.
The original owner was a vicious female supporting role in the plot, and also a pampered little princess. Relying on the love of the most powerful parents in the world, she was able to completely let herself go.
This is a good thing for Bo Chi.
After all, she can't even hold a brush skillfully. If she is given a character as a talented woman, she will make a fool of herself that day.
Thinking of this, Bo Chi suddenly had a good idea. She raised her little head, rubbed the queen intimately, and said softly, "Mother, then please talk to my father and ask him not to marry me to the number one scholar."
The queen was helpless: "You will eventually get married. The number one scholar is gentle and talented, and his ancestors were poor. After marrying you, he can only treat you with all his heart. If it were anyone else, I'm afraid he would be ruthless to you and ignore you in private."
"No." Bo Chi retorted without thinking: "She is not that kind of person!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the boudoir suddenly became silent.
The queen narrowed her eyes slowly, as if she was smiling: "So that's how it is... So that's how it is! I was wondering why you looked down on the number one scholar, it turns out you already have someone in your heart?"
Bo Chi came out of her arms and sat down properly.
She had been planning to speak directly, and now she nodded firmly: "I love General Yu Zhao, please grant my blessing, mother."
Hearing the name Yu Zhao, the Queen's expression froze and she immediately frowned: "How can you, how can you like him!"
Bo Chi said calmly, "Young General fought for the country and defeated the enemy before she was even twenty. Even with the Tiger Seal and military power in her hand, she is still loyal to the king and will return as soon as she is ordered. She is such a loyal person, so why should I be in love with her?"
The queen was stunned for a moment, and the coldness in her eyes gradually softened. She sighed and said, "You are right. So far, Yu Zhao has been a loyal and capable minister."
"It's a pity... His achievements are greater than his master's." She stroked her long hair and whispered, "Being with the emperor is like being with a tiger. Yu Zhao has made your father feel uneasy. At this critical juncture, whoever gets close to him will bear a heavy risk. The Queen Mother doesn't want you to get into trouble. She just wants you to live a carefree life, so..."
"No." Bo Chi took the Queen's hand in return, his eyes as clear as a pool of moonlight: "It is precisely because Father is afraid of him that I want to marry him. Mother, have you forgotten? It is an iron rule of this dynasty that a prince consort is not allowed to interfere in government affairs."
The queen's expression changed immediately: "You want to sacrifice yourself to remove Yu Zhao's military power? No! I won't allow you to do this! Have you ever thought about the consequences? In this way, your father will be relieved, but the rest of your life will fall into Yu Zhao's hands. If he doesn't hate you, there is no guarantee that he won't bully you in private!"
"No." Bo Chi's eyes softened, revealing a light smile, and he repeated what he had said before: "She is not that kind of person."
