Bo Chi said it with great confidence. The queen thought about it again and again with a stern face. In the end, she couldn't resist her little daughter's coquetry and took a step back and said reluctantly: "I will send someone to investigate the character of the young general. If he is really as good as you said, I will go to find the emperor and help you two get together."
Bo Chi was filled with joy, and threw himself into the Queen's arms, saying happily, "Thank you, Mother!"
After resolving his biggest worry, Bo Chi stayed in the palace to recuperate and no longer ran around.
Yu Zhao, on the other hand, has been frequently spotted in teahouses and taverns in recent days, in contrast to his usual aloof and cold self.
Others just thought that he had come to his senses and was no longer as unkind as before, spending the whole day at home brandishing swords and guns. However, no one noticed that every time Yu Zhao appeared, the new number one scholar would also be present.
After several times, Yu Zhao had already understood Ke Hui's true nature.
This person's calligraphy is ordinary, he is not good at playing the piano or chess, and his poetry is even more mediocre. Only his face is okay. No matter how you look at it, he does not have the background of a scholar who has studied hard.
Yu Zhao had long ago ordered people to secretly investigate the issue of favoritism and fraud in the imperial examinations. Now that his subordinates had sent him a secret letter, and he compared it with Ke Hui, he was immediately certain of his guess.
But before she could continue her investigation and collect solid evidence and clues, she got the news that Ke had returned to the brothel.
Brothels are places for men to relax and have fun. Even though they are covered with the elegant appearance of burning incense and adding ink, it cannot conceal the essence of money-sex transactions.
And Ke Hui is now the new top scholar, and outsiders speculate that he will soon become a royal consort. Visiting a brothel at this critical juncture is not only a stain on him, but also a contempt and humiliation to the princess!
Yu Zhao's face was gloomy. As soon as he thought about the princess with a sweet smile marrying such a man, he couldn't suppress the irritation and anger in his heart.
She took a deep breath and tried to calm down.
But the princess's appearance kept appearing in her mind, whether it was the black hair stained with peach-pink petals, the thin and close-fitting silk skirt, or the words "If you touch my feet, you must marry me", all made her mind waver and she couldn't help but recall it over and over again.
Yu Zhao had never admired anyone, but she vaguely felt that something was wrong with her.
The best way to solve this problem is probably to return to the frontier, put aside all the things and people that disturb your mind, and gradually forget them.
But Yu Zhao couldn't do it.
Her instinct was to stay, to be in the capital forever, to see the little princess day and night.
Yu Zhao's confused thoughts were like a tangled ball of wool. He felt restless and decided not to think about it any more. He walked out of the door with his sword in hand, intending to kill something to calm himself down as he did in the past.
After a while.
She came back expressionlessly, replaced her sharp sword with a wooden stick as thick as her arm, weighed it twice with a satisfied look on her face, and then left again.
This night is destined to be an uneasy night.
Ke Hui was now in high spirits and in high spirits. With everyone's flattery, he came to the brothel in a state of high spirits. He had just selected two or three weak beauties to spend the long night with them when he was hit by a club and lost his mind.
It was not until dawn that the girls who had fainted in the room realized that he was missing. They searched everywhere and finally found him with a bruised face in the alley behind the brothel.
After this incident, it became a laughing stock in Beijing for a long time.
Bo Chi also learned about this amid Chun Yuan's anger.
But she didn't care at all, and only asked: "Yu Zhao asked me to meet him in the teahouse? When? What does he want from me?"
Chun Yuan was asked by her repeatedly, so she could only put aside her anger towards Ke Hui and took out the letter from her sleeve: "The young general only asked the princess to come out for a chat, but did not mention anything else. In my opinion, it is absurd for a man and a woman to be alone in the same room. The princess should refuse directly and warn him..."
Bo Chi read the letter in two or three seconds, and hummed twice perfunctorily. He didn't listen to what Chun Yuan said at all, and said excitedly: "Change clothes, change clothes, we will go find her now!"
Chun Yuan's face fell, and he stamped his feet in frustration: "Princess!"
Bo Chi had already entered the hall as briskly as a young swallow, and said happily: "Which set of clothes should I wear? Yu Zhao is a general now, maybe he doesn't like clothes that are too pink..."
It turns out.
Preferences may vary from person to person.
The same cloud-like light gauze dress would look ordinary on other women, but when worn by the princess with curved eyebrows, Yu Zhao took a few more glances without showing any emotion.
"What do you want me to do?" Bo Chi saw that Yu Zhao did not show any displeasure, and he could not help but relax a little: "Is it because the army's food and wages are not enough and you need to allocate money, or are those people from your family bothering you again?"
Yu Zhao is a major general in this world, and her father is a founding general who accompanied the late emperor in his military campaigns. This family was originally a branch of the Yu family, and they have their current status by chance. The main family has always wanted to get them into the court, but Yu Zhao's family simply ignored them, and they always remembered the shame and anger of being kicked out of the family.
When the late emperor and the great general passed away one after another, the relatives could no longer bear it and moved to the capital. From time to time, they would use their seniority to bully and control the younger Yu Zhao.
——If it weren't for Yu Zhao's mother's foresight, who lied that Yu Zhao was a boy when she was born, this general's mansion that they fought so hard to conquer would probably have become the capital for the family to live happily.
Bo Chi knew that Yu Zhao could not openly quarrel with his family due to the etiquette of the dynasty, so he leaned closer to her and hinted wildly: "This princess has always hated greedy people. If you agree, I can--"
Before she could finish her words, a hand pressed down on her head.
Yu Zhao leaned back slightly, turned his face away, and said calmly: "You are too close."
Bo Chi sat back angrily, feeling angry and unhappy.
Yu Zhao didn't see it, but secretly loosened his fist, suppressed his blushing face, and asked in a low voice: "How do you know about our private affairs with our family?"
Bo Chi said confidently: "I am a princess, there is nothing in the world that I don't know!"
Yu Zhao raised his eyebrows.
The family has always done a good job of saving face, and the several visits were all under the guise of concern. The current emperor even praised the Yu family in the early years, and it was obvious that he was unaware of the open and secret struggles between them.
Even what His Majesty doesn't know, the pampered little princess in the deep palace knows clearly.
It was hard for Yu Zhao not to have other thoughts - could it be that the other party had been silently paying attention to her every move without her knowing?
"What are you thinking about?" Bo Chi was born simple-minded. Every time he sulked, he would get over his depression within a few minutes. This time was no exception. She was angry for a while, and when she saw Yu Zhao didn't say anything, she moved closer as if nothing had happened and asked curiously.
Yu Zhao didn't think much about it and answered frankly: "I'm thinking about you."
