The old lady actually wanted to marry Yao Yu to Yu Qizhe. Yu Jiao was surprised but could understand it. After all, there were only a handful of people as young as Yu Qizhe who won the first place in the imperial examination. Although his family background was not so good, he had a good appearance.
Seeing Yu Jiao's eyes widen slightly, Old Madam Liu smiled and touched her hair. "However, Yaoyu's marriage is still decided by her mother. Although the girl has reached the age to get married, she is naive and not stable enough. She only knows how to play all day. I'm afraid her mother will let her stay in the mansion for a few more years."
Yu Jiao couldn't tell what Yao Yu thought of Yu Qizhe. Just as Old Madam Liu said, the second sister was naive and innocent, and was not suitable for the complicated personnel affairs of a large mansion. This was probably the reason why Old Madam Liu considered marrying her to Yu Qizhe.
"Although I have lived in the inner palace for a long time, I have heard of the name of the talented Changle County Lady. Her talent is well-known in the capital. Although she is a little arrogant, I have never heard that she has a spoiled personality. If she is really interested in your fifth brother, she would be a good match." Old Madam Liu paused and said, "The Xue family is very close to Prime Minister Shen. Your father is a member of the Qingliu clan and has many conflicts with the Shen party."
What the old lady meant by this was that if Yu Qizhe really agreed to this marriage, Marquis Jingyuan would become his father-in-law, and the Xue family would definitely support him. Naturally, he would become close to the Shen party and would not have such a close relationship with the Liu family.
The word "perfect match" reminded Yu Jiao of the dream she had during her nap, and she couldn't help feeling a little depressed.
The old lady took a sip of tea and said, "But it depends on what Yu Wulang thinks. Since Concubine Xue has spoken, you might as well ask your fifth brother to see if he is interested in this marriage."
Yu Jiao nodded slightly, "I will go to see my fifth brother tomorrow and tell him what Concubine Xue said." She thought for a moment and said, "Grandmother, Concubine Xue is pregnant."
Madam Liu was slightly startled when she heard the news and asked, "She has been calling you to the palace these days, is it because she wants to conceive an heir to the throne?"
Yu Jiao nodded. "She was ill at first, and asked me to go to the palace to take care of her. Now she is pregnant, but if she gives birth to the child, her health will be completely ruined. Today she wanted to tell His Majesty that she was pregnant with the heir, but unfortunately, His Majesty suddenly fainted in Concubine Shu's palace."
Upon hearing that Emperor Mingzheng had fainted, Old Madam Liu's expression changed slightly, and her grip on the teacup tightened slightly, "Is His Majesty in any serious condition?"
"The imperial physician said that he was too tired and fell asleep. I looked at the emperor's face beside the bed and it must be due to sexual intercourse... fainting." Yu Jiao thought that Madam Liu was concerned about Emperor Mingzheng's health and said softly, "Before I left the palace, the emperor had not woken up yet."
In fact, if a patient faints during sex, the patient should lie on his side with his head high and his feet low, and then be awakened by acupuncture at the Ren Zhong and Shi Xuan acupoints or by flushing the nose with water. However, Yu Jiao wanted to hide her ignorance and did not want to cause any more trouble in the palace, so she did not say anything when she was in Liuxian Palace.
Xue Rong alone summoned her to the palace every now and then, which made Yu Jiao avoid her. If she rescued Emperor Mingzheng in Liuxian Palace, she would probably cause more trouble. In a place like the palace with strict hierarchy, Yu Jiao really didn't want to get involved unless it was necessary.
"It's good that nothing serious has happened. After all, the damage to His Majesty's body is related to the turmoil of the court." Old Madam Liu said this and glanced at the clock in the room. "It's getting late, Grandmother, I won't keep you any longer."
Yu Jiao stood up, and Old Lady Liu asked Mother Liu to send her off. Mother Liu picked up the wooden box on the table and handed it to Jianjia, then sent Yu Jiao to the gate of the courtyard.
Mother Liu returned to the house, and Old Madam Liu stood up and said, "Let's go to the front yard."
