What made Emperor Mingzheng feel even more surprised was that Cheng Ying adopted the girl as his adopted daughter. For Cheng Ying to take a liking to her, there must be something extraordinary about her.
"This... I'm not sure. Although Miss Liu San was raised in the countryside, she is an excellent doctor. The reason I was able to conceive a dragon heir was because she nursed my body." Xue Rong looked at Yu Qizhe, who had a cold expression, and smiled slightly. "Reader Yu, I heard from Miss Liu San that she was fostered in your home before, and you and I were very close, like a brother or sister."
Emperor Mingzheng was surprised and looked at Yu Qizhe, "Zhanxing, you have such a connection with the third girl of the Liu family?"
Xue Rong mentioned Yu Jiao in front of Emperor Mingzheng for no reason, which made Yu Qizhe feel resentful. According to the information Lu Jin got from Huairou and the fact that Liu Ziqi raised private soldiers in Lingnan, Yu Qizhe had already guessed that it would not be a good thing if Yu Jiao was exposed too much.
Yu Qizhe hid the gloom in his eyes, raised his head and said calmly, "The eldest son of the Liu family went to look for her, and only the family members knew the life story of Miss Liu San."
"So, Zhan Xing's family didn't know that she was Liu Ci Fu's beloved daughter? I thought Liu Yu deliberately sent his daughter to your home for foster care." Although he heard Yu Qizhe say this, Emperor Ming Zheng still had a trace of doubt in his heart.
If Yu Qizhe had known Liu Yu for a long time and had been taught by Liu Yu, it would explain why he, a boy from a poor farming family, could surpass scholars from aristocratic families in talent and learning.
"Last year, I went to the capital to take the imperial examination, but I didn't know that Young Master Liu had gone to his home." Yu Qizhe said slowly, "It was not until Miss Liu San was taken back to the capital by Young Master Liu that Zhan Xing heard about it and was quite surprised. It must be for this reason that Liu Ci Fu asked me to worship him as his teacher and accepted me as his student."
The turbid eyes of Emperor Mingzheng flickered. He recalled that on the day of the palace examination, Liu Yu seemed unwilling to let him select Yu Qizhe as the number one scholar. If it was really as Yu Qizhe said, it would make sense.
It is not a glorious thing that the daughter of the Liu family was left alone and adopted by a farmer in the mountains. In fact, the Liu family was indebted to the Yu family. Liu Yu has always been a role model of integrity and has a very good reputation. If he did not say anything, he would inevitably be criticized when the matter spread in the future.
It seems that he accepted Yu Zhanxing as his disciple just to take precautions and stop future criticisms, but he did not really want to promote Yu Zhanxing, otherwise he would not have deliberately suppressed his ranking in the palace examination.
Yu Zhanxing was a smart man. He must have realized that Liu Yu was not really sincere in promoting him, and that being Liu Yu's disciple would lead to his future. That's why he gave up the pretentiousness of a scholar, and didn't care about other people's criticisms. He served him in Fengtianzhai and discussed scriptures and philosophy. He knew that the person he should really please and who could really bring him power and success was him, the master of the world!
Thinking of this, Emperor Mingzheng laughed heartily. He had been dissatisfied with Liu Yu since his early years, but unfortunately Liu Yu had always been cautious and careful in his actions, and never dealt with anything that offended the majesty of heaven. Over the years, he could not find any fault with Liu Yu and could only keep it secret.
If Yu Zhanxing was cultivated by him in the future, and he would do a "repaying kindness with enmity" drama, and personally send his former mentor who had helped him to Zhaoyu! Emperor Mingzheng felt happy just thinking about it!
"Liu Cifu has always been a man who never lets others control him, no wonder he is willing to help Zhan Xing." Emperor Mingzheng said with a smile, "Cheng Ying asked me for an imperial decree some time ago to adopt the third daughter of the Liu family as my adopted daughter. I wanted to meet that girl then. Since Zhan Xing and the third daughter of the Liu family are siblings, why not bring her into the palace tomorrow so that I can meet her and reward her."
