Chapter 124: Slipping into the Lotus Leaf...
He saluted hurriedly.
"I've made note of this. I'll deal with it right away when I get back. I'll also be tougher in the future."
Qiangwei felt ashamed after hearing this. She had been eating and drinking the best food with the young lady for years, and her temper had softened. It seemed that she couldn't be like this in the future. She had to stand up straight, be more assertive, and protect the young lady well.
"Miss."
Qiangwei supported Qi Zhiyu, her eyes full of guilt.
Qi Zhiyu was also frightened by the scene just now. Just two casual words almost decided the most important event in her life.
If only I had a bigger temper.
If you go back, you will be hanged to death.
"Why is Madam Liu also joining in the fun?"
Qi Zhiyu whispered angrily. Chu Jiuning raised her eyes slightly and turned to talk to Mingtang.
"Go find Madam Yang and tell her about Madam Liu's actions. No one from the Liu family can study at Chunshan Academy."
Mingtang's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he quickly turned around to look for Madam Yang.
"Let's go and see the scenery of the palace."
Chu Jiuning and Qi Zhiyu talked softly, and the group walked slowly along the lake, looking at it.
"The palace is still magnificent. I don't know how many servants there are."
Nanny Cui said softly that their Qi Mansion was relatively simple, with few servants, but it was very comfortable.
far away.
Yun Zhaoming was chatting with several young masters. Although he had a limp, he was the princess's younger brother after all, so he was still very popular.
When Yun Zhaoming saw the two of them walking towards him in the breeze, his eyes widened.
if.
One is his wife and the other is his concubine. Doesn't that mean he has two big backers?
It’s one of the beautiful things in life.
"Sister Qi."
Chu Jiuning turned around and asked her.
"Do you have someone you like?"
If you have someone you like, getting married to them as soon as possible can be a solution to the problem.
Qi Zhiyu's little face turned red, she thought for a moment, and said softly.
"There is one, but he said he would come back to propose marriage after he passed the Spring Examination."
When Aunt Cui heard this, she looked worried and stepped forward and spoke softly.
"But Miss, the other party is from the Yang family. We at Chunshan Academy and Hanshan Academy hardly ever interact with each other."
ah.
Chu Jiuning was startled.
Qi Zhiyu looked helpless as he listened and nodded.
"I know, so I don't really like him that much. I just think he's okay. If he really gets into high school and comes to propose, we'll talk about it then."
Then he looked at Chu Jiuning again.
"Don't worry, I won't just throw myself into it, nor will I desperately want to be with him. Some things can't be forced. It's important to love each other, and it's also important to be well-matched."
Chu Jiuning breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.
It seems that Sister Qi is not as weak as imagined. At least she still has her own ideas and plans.
"It's best to think this way. In the end, your own happiness is the most important thing."
Qi Zhiyu stopped and looked at Chu Jiuning, his eyes full of heartache and admiration.
She dared to tear the Song family apart and divorce Song Jinhuai.
It’s really amazing!
"You want to set up a divorce department?"
This is truly an extraordinary thing, unprecedented and unparalleled.
But.
Can it really be done?
"I have an idea, too."
Qi Zhiyu suddenly raised her eyebrows and smiled beautifully.
"What idea?"
Chu Jiuning pulled her to sit on the chair in the pavilion.
"I want to open a school specifically for children who cannot afford to go to school, regardless of gender."
Isn’t this a very simple thing?
"But my father disagrees."
Qi Zhiyu became distressed, and Chu Jiuning pursed her lips.
"Dean Qi probably doesn't want you to work hard, so he doesn't agree. You come from a family of scholars. If you open an academy, I'm sure many people will be willing to send their children here."
Said.
Chu Jiuning pursed her lips.
"Speaking of which, our goals are both for women, but I'm after a married woman, and you're after a young woman who's just starting her life."
No wonder they become good friends and sisters.
turn out to be.
They are all the nicest people.
"Take your time, and you'll succeed."
Qi Zhiyu gently persuaded Chu Jiuning that if she wanted to file for divorce, not only would the men not agree, even some women themselves would not agree.
There are many women who, even though they don't have a good life, have a deep-rooted belief that they should obey their husbands and sons, maintain the reputation of their husbands' families, and listen to them, even if it means killing themselves.
"Huzi, Huzi."
Just saying.
A young lady came over here while shouting. When she saw them, she hurriedly bowed and asked them.
"Sisters, have you seen a completely white kitten?"
"Sorry, I didn't see it."
Qi Zhiyu stood up and replied politely, and the young lady's eyes immediately turned red with anxiety.
"What should I do? The cat was given to me by the princess. If I lose it and the princess asks about it, I will be guilty of a great crime."
Said.
The young lady's eyes flickered slightly and she stood there motionless, as if waiting for Qi Zhiyu's next words.
In fact.
Qi Zhiyu really opened his mouth, ready to help her find it.
But Chu Jiuning pulled him to sit down again.
She gave a look and Qi Zhiyu's expression changed instantly.
The young lady waited for a long time, looking anxious, but Qi Zhiyu and the others did not take the initiative to offer help, and her expression became a little uncomfortable.
"Shall we go over there and take a look?"
Chu Jiuning stood up.
Then.
Everyone left, leaving the young lady aside.
The young lady clenched her fists in anger and turned to look at Yun Zhaoming. Yun Zhaoming's eyes were sinister and he raised his chin towards her. If this plan didn't work, here's the next one.
"Miss, they move so fast."
Amber naturally knew that there was something wrong here. She stepped forward and whispered, while Chu Jiuning sneered.
"The second move will be out soon. Any news from Mingtang?"
Just now, Mingtang secretly left the team and followed Princess Yun's personal maid to take a tour of the palace. He guessed where the accident would happen and the location.
"Yes, I roughly know which courtyard they will attack in. I have already arranged a guard there."
Princess Yun has also made arrangements and can cooperate with their actions at any time. In short, they must not let Yun Zhaoming harm Miss Qi.
Chu Jiuning nodded and said to Qi Zhiyu with a smile.
"Princess Yun and I have a very good relationship, and she is not on good terms with the Yun Marquisate, so she shouldn't help them."
Just saying.
The sound of several young ladies laughing and joking came from not far away. They were joking and playing. They rushed over and stepped on Qi Zhiyu's skirt.
"Oops, I'm sorry."
The lady apologized hastily.
"I have spare clothes in the carriage. How about you come with me to change in the carriage?"
Just saying.
Nanny Li, who was beside Princess Yun, walked over quickly and bowed.
"I will serve Miss Qi and Miss Chu."
The young lady apologized to Qi Zhiyu again and again, then turned around and left embarrassedly. Nanny Li came forward with a smile.
"It's okay. The princess has made a lot of preparations to prevent any accidents. Our prince likes mountain scenery, so there are many gardens in the palace. It's easy to get the skirt dirty."
Chu Jiuning raised her eyes and looked around.
I found that what Nanny Li said was right. The garden in the mansion was indeed mostly mountain views.
"Miss Qi, Miss Chu, please."
Nanny Li led them away with a smile, and then into a courtyard. A maid was guarding the door and bowed when she saw them.
After coming in.
Amber and Mingtang immediately went forward to check, and were relieved when they saw that there was no problem.
"Miss Qi, here are a few sets specially prepared for you. Don't worry, the princess has instructed me, and I know what's going on."
Qi Zhiyu smiled slightly, picked out a pink suit and went to the inner room to change into it.
After coming out.
Qi Zhiyu patted his chest.
"I was really scared just now, afraid that a man would jump out from nowhere."
This is how things usually happen. By the time it is discovered, it has already been discovered by a lot of people.
At that time.
Even if I had a mouth all over my body, I wouldn't be able to defend myself.
Various banquets are always places where accidents happen frequently, and no place is immune.
Chu Jiuning nodded.
He glanced around and found the locations of Liu Yunyi and Yun Zhaoming, one in the east and the other in the west, almost a little far away.
Mrs. Liu seemed to deliberately keep her daughter away from Yun Zhaoming.
"Let's go boating on the lake."
Seeing the servants bringing all the boats over one by one, the young ladies and gentlemen were immediately furious.
The lake in Prince Yun's Mansion is particularly large, and can easily accommodate dozens of small boats at the same time. I heard that Prince Yun and Princess Yun often go boating on the lake, reading books together and enjoying the scenery.
"Do you want to go?"
Chu Jiuning asked Qi Zhiyu, and Qi Zhiyu was about to write a poem about boating on the lake, so he nodded hurriedly.
They went forward and asked for two small boats.
There are one for Chu Jiuning, Qi Zhiyu, Mingtang, Qingsong, and one for everyone else.
There was laughter and joy all around, and the palace's steward came forward and spoke to everyone with a smile.
"Young ladies and gentlemen, please play for a while. The princess said we should go to the garden to have hot pot. That way, we can enjoy the flowers while eating. It will be ready soon."
Everyone listen.
Now I understand. It seems that the princess changed her mind at the last minute and wanted to make a pot in the garden, so it would take some time, so she asked them to go boating on the lake.
The opportunity has come.
Chu Jiuning smiled slightly, looked at Princess Yun in the distance, and blinked.
This wasn't just a sudden change of mind; this was a deliberate attempt to create opportunities for Liu and Yun to make a name for themselves.
"Mingtang."
Chu Jiuning called softly, Mingtang leaned over, and said something to her, Mingtang immediately smiled.
Things in the water are not easy at all.
Mingtang looked at Qingsong, Qingsong nodded, and then pushed the boat towards them.
The young ladies either picked some lotus pods or had water fights with each other, laughing and joking. The young masters gradually joined in the fun. At first, they were playing separately, but later, they came in and started playing together.
Yun Zhaoming's boat had been following Qi Zhiyu closely, looking for an opportunity. Chu Jiuning sat lazily on the boat, with a smile on her lips, but her eyes were full of poison.
Leading Liu Yunyi's boat and Yun Zhaoming's boat, they slipped into the lotus leaves...
