Yu Qizhe lowered his eyes slightly, "It's a coincidence that Miss Liu San has returned to her hometown with Madam Liu to visit her relatives."
Emperor Mingzheng wanted to summon people into the palace on a whim. After hearing what Yu Qizhe said, although he felt it was a pity, he didn't say anything else.
Xue Rong frowned. The baby in her belly still depended on Yu Jiao's care. Now this person left Beijing without a word. What would happen if something happened to her?
"When did Miss Liu San leave? Why didn't she come into the palace to tell me?" Xue Rong felt uneasy and immediately planned to send someone to bring Yu Jiao back as soon as she set out.
Yu Qizhe glanced at Xue Rong and said calmly, "I am not sure either."
Emperor Mingzheng glanced at Xue Rong's expression. Due to the situation in the previous dynasty, the Xue family had never had much dealings with the Liu family. It was rare that Xue Rong would take a liking to the girl from the Liu family. It seemed that the girl really had some extraordinary abilities.
Emperor Mingzheng said, "It seems that my beloved concubine likes the girl from the Liu family very much. Well, let's have someone send the reward to Liu Yu's mansion first. When the girl comes back from visiting her parents, I will summon her to the palace to reward her."
Xue Rong was anxious. She had long seen that Yu Jiao was not willing to get too close to her. She had only agreed to see her under duress. The girl was young but smart. She followed Madam Liu back to her hometown to visit her relatives, perhaps to avoid being summoned to the palace frequently during her pregnancy.
Thinking of this, Xue Rong forced a smile, "I would like to thank the emperor on behalf of that girl." Although she was unhappy, she still remembered her sister Xue Qingshang. Xue Rong glanced at Yu Qizhe, and couldn't help but think of Yu Jiao's departure from Beijing at this time, and Qingshang's matter was also left unsaid. She was waiting for Yu Jiao to reply and settle the marriage between Yu Qizhe and Qingshang as soon as possible!
Thinking of this, Xue Rong couldn't help but grit her teeth. Liu Yujiao really knew how to pick the right time and she dodged really quickly!
"Your Majesty, I have another unwelcome request." Xue Rong stroked her belly gently, with a hint of sadness in her smile, "Shang'er came to the palace to see me yesterday. Although I saw that she was happy, I was even more worried."
Emperor Mingzheng was puzzled and asked, "Why? You always love her."
Xue Rong smiled bitterly and said, "It is precisely because I love her that I am worried about her. My mother passed away early, and Shang'er is already at the age to get married. It is said that an elder sister is like a mother, so I will naturally take care of things for her. My father has always been a person who never leaves his job, and I am afraid that if this continues, Shang'er's marriage will be delayed."
Every morning when Xue Rong gets up to dress up, the palace maids can pick out silver hair from her hair. There are already faint fine lines at the corners of her eyes when she smiles. If it is as Liu Yujiao said before, her appearance will be terribly aged after she gives birth to the baby in her belly.
No woman can calmly accept her aging, but no matter how unwilling she is, she cannot avoid the fading of her beauty.
No one knew better than her that Emperor Mingzheng loved beauties. If a concubine Shu entered the palace, her people would not be able to enter the Yangxin Palace. In the future, there might be concubines Duan, De, and Li...
Now, it is only because of the fetus in her belly that Emperor Mingzheng's attention has returned to her, but after the child is born, the situation will surely be different. The best result is that she will be honored because of the child, but if her beauty is gone, she will have lost the favor in front of the emperor.
She had to take advantage of this opportunity, while the emperor was still willing to listen to her words, to arrange Qingchang's marriage.
All she could do for Qingchang was to ask the emperor to grant her a marriage and have a grand wedding.
