Chapter 828
Soon, Ding Yu wandered around the streets for a long time before finally arriving at the Yunnan Prince's Palace.
After introducing himself, he entered the palace gate without any trouble and was politely led to the main hall by the gatekeeper.
Since entering the Prince's mansion, Ding Yu's eyes have been constantly darting around.
Although the people in the Yunnan Prince's Mansion were all military men and didn't have much of a sense of enjoying life, the stewards and servants in the mansion were not hired for nothing. They could keep the household in perfect order without the master having to say anything.
Upon entering the main hall, Ding Yu was overwhelmed by the various exquisite ornaments.
"Young Master Ding, please have some water first."
The maidservant served tea and snacks and then withdrew. Ding Yu, holding the tea, still couldn't help but look at the decorations in the hall.
This prince's mansion is truly the epitome of luxury!
Just look at that display shelf; it's not made of ordinary wood, and then there's the carpet on the floor...
Ding Yu stomped on it twice more, a look of admiration on his face.
Such wealth...
Ding Yu looked around for a long time before finally turning his gaze away.
Not long after, Huo Zhao arrived.
She wore a smoky purple long dress with silver threads flowing on the hem, but it did not appear ostentatious.
"Young Master Ding."
Huo Zhao entered the main hall and looked Ding Yu up and down.
Having grown accustomed to Shen Rang's face, Ding Yu was at most just an average-looking man in Huo Zhao's eyes, with nothing particularly outstanding about him.
Ding Yu was stunned for a while. When he came to his senses, he subconsciously handed over what he had been carrying to Huo Zhao: "Miss Huo, these are pastries made by a shop near my home. They taste very good. If you don't mind, you can try them."
Huo Zhao glanced at the several oil paper packages he was carrying, nodded, and said, "Young Master Ding is very thoughtful."
Jixiang stepped forward and accepted the items.
Seeing that Huo Zhao accepted it, Ding Yu smiled and said, "Miss Huo is a noble lady from a high family, and she is used to eating delicacies. So I thought that these common things would be new to Miss Huo. They are just a bit cheap, but please don't find them offensive."
Huo Zhao smiled but remained silent.
She has only been a noblewoman for a short time, and she hasn't even gotten tired of the most exquisite delicacies yet.
After a moment of silence, Huo Zhao cut straight to the point: "Does Young Master Ding know why we invited him here this time?"
Ding Yu nodded: "Jing'er... is she alright?"
“Not good,” Huo Zhao said. “She went to great lengths to get to Luoyang, and was almost sent to be a concubine.”
Hearing this, Ding Yu sighed again: "Jing'er isn't very favored at home, but the Qi family is a prestigious family in our area. Does Jing'er really have to become a concubine?"
“The Qi family is not a prominent family in your area, but in Luoyang, they are probably nothing,” Huo Zhao said. “When she came to Luoyang, she had no relatives or friends, so naturally she had no other way to go.”
Ding Yu didn't say anything more.
Huo Zhao glanced at him twice and said, "Isn't Young Master Ding curious as to why I was the one to help Qi Jing find you?"
Ding Yu was taken aback, then said, "I am indeed curious. Miss Huo comes from a royal family, and since Jing'er has no relatives or friends, why...?"
"She and my husband are cousins."
After Huo Zhao finished speaking, Ding Yu seemed a little lost in thought, and his eyes looked at her with even more disbelief.
After a long while, Ding Yu said, "Young lady, you're so young, and you're already married?"
Huo Zhao couldn't help but laugh: "What does this have to do with Young Master Ding?"
