Outside, the maid had just put on a new dress for her young lady and was about to put on another cloak when she heard a noise inside. She turned around and was so scared that the cloak in her hand fell to the ground.
"Ah! You, are you a human or a ghost?"
The maid was scared to death when she saw the bronze animal head mask on Huo Qi's face.
The official lady turned her head and took a step back in fear, almost falling down. She cursed angrily, "Who are you? How dare you hide in this room?"
Huo Qi said coldly, "This is my house. I haven't asked you why you broke into my house yet."
Upon hearing this, the young lady from the official family was so shocked that her scalp went numb: "You, you are the King of Mobei?"
Huo Qi said nothing: "Get out of here now."
When the young lady from the official family saw that this man was tall and had an awe-inspiring aura, although she didn't know why he was wearing a mask, she thought that this must be the King of Mobei.
She hurriedly bowed and explained, "Your Highness, it was your maid who brought me to this courtyard. I didn't know this was your courtyard."
She fiddled with her hair, thinking that if she took this opportunity to tease the prince, she might be favored by him.
But Huo Qi thought about the vicious words the girl had just said, and looked at her coy and embarrassed appearance, and felt extremely annoyed. He said angrily: "You can't just beat or kill the people in my palace. You are really capable. Go back to your home!"
The young lady of the official family was shocked when she heard this. "Your Majesty, it's not like that. It's all the fault of that servant. She..."
"Get out!" Huo Qi shouted sternly.
The official lady was so frightened that tears fell from her eyes. She was at a loss and wanted to explain herself again, otherwise she would not be willing to accept it! In this life, she was determined not to marry anyone other than the King of Mobei.
Huo Qi roared, "If you don't get out of here, I'll kill you."
After hearing this, the maid hurriedly helped her young lady up and said, "Young lady, let's go quickly, otherwise the prince will kill you."
The young lady from the official family finally came to her senses and realized that there was no way back. She was so scared that she ran out in a panic. She accidentally tripped over the door sill and fell heavily on her face.
The maid hurriedly helped her up, but saw that the young lady's cloak in the room had been thrown on them by the prince. She held the cloak in one hand and supported the young lady with the other, and ran out quickly.
On the way to the flower hall, Yu Jinshu happened to meet his brother who had not yet arrived. Just as he was about to go with his brother, he saw the official's daughter and her maid running towards the palace gate in a panic.
The young lady didn't even bother to pick up one of her shoes when it fell off, as if someone was chasing her with a big knife and trying to chop her.
Yu Yufan recognized the young lady who had just asked his sister for directions and asked with a puzzled look, "What happened to her?"
Yu Jinshu smiled and said, "I took him to the prince's courtyard."
Yu Yudan looked at her sister: "You actually brought her to the prince's courtyard? If the prince knew you did this, wouldn't he make things difficult for you?"
Yu Jinshu said coldly, "Even if the prince knew about this, I wouldn't be afraid. Who told this girl to have such a bad temper? She doesn't know how to respect others. If she doesn't suffer a little, she will become even more arrogant in the future."
Yu Yufan looked at the girl's flustered back and asked curiously, "How do you know she will suffer if she goes to the prince's courtyard?"
At the corner of the corridor, Huo Qi heard the conversation between the brother and sister, and was very curious about how Yu Jinshu could understand his thoughts.
Yu Jinshu said, "I've long heard that the Prince of Mobei doesn't like women and has a cold temper. Just now, I heard a guard in the front yard say that the Prince is still in the house. And seeing that girl's arrogant behavior, she's not someone you'd like to please. So, I'll give her a chance to show off to the Prince, so he can get a feel for her temperament. This way, he won't accidentally fall for her and marry such a wicked woman. Don't let her cause unrest in the palace, and the Dowager Princess won't have a good life either."
Yu Yufan nodded: "I see!"
Huo Qi heard these words from behind, and a slight smile appeared on the corners of his lips under the mask. He sighed in his heart: What a smart girl, she also thinks about him and his mother. Such a temperament, neither humble nor arrogant, really makes him like her!
"Let's go! Brother, don't be so self-deprecating. Although you are a slave, you are not a sinner. You have no guilt in your heart and are worthy of the emperor and the people of this world. If you look down on yourself, how can you expect others to look up to you?"
Yu Yufan listened to his sister's words and sighed, "Sister, I think you are even better than the teachers in the academy. Your words make me feel like I have read ten more years of books."
Yu Jinshu chuckled: "Brother, you flatter me. I just went through some things and think more clearly."
Yu Yudan said, "I was in jail for six months. Compared to what you went through in General Shen's mansion, it was much worse."
Yu Jinshu's face darkened: "That's true."
Later, Huo Qi listened to the brother and sister talking about the things in General Shen’s Mansion, and his mood inexplicably sank.
I wonder what Yu Jinshu went through in the General's Mansion that led to her divorce from Chen Jiangliu?
He watched the brother and sister go to the flower hall, and he slowly followed them.
The flower hall was bustling with activity.
The Dowager Princess was surrounded by a group of beautiful girls, who amused her to the point of giggling.
It seemed that these girls were trying their best to please the Queen Dowager.
Yu Jinshu walked over.
One of the girls said to Yu Jinshu, "The charcoal in the stove is all burned out. Hurry and get some more. Don't delay the Queen Mother's tea. I brought this tea from the south."
Yu Jinshu thought to herself, this is another arrogant young lady who doesn't take her seriously.
But now that we are here, let's not cause any more trouble.
The girl was a little annoyed when she saw Yu Jinshu didn't respond to her. She looked at her and said, "How do you do things, girl?"
"How can I allow you to order me around as a guest in my palace? Get out..." A cold voice sounded in the flower hall, startling all the girls and making them look in the direction of the voice. They saw a tall man wearing a mask and a brocade robe walking towards them.
The maids in the flower hall all bowed.
At first glance, this person is Huo Qi, the King of Mobei.
All the girls stood up and bowed to Huo Qi.
Huo Qi seemed to be oblivious to them, and stared coldly at the girl who had just spoken: "Get out of here!"
The girl was shaking with fear.
Seeing this, Bo Shi hurriedly stood up and came over to roll the twirl: "Wang'er, why did you scare the girl as soon as you came?"
The girl looked at Bo with grievance: "Princess Wang, I..."
Like the girl before, she had already kept King Mobei in her heart and only wanted to marry him.
When Concubine Wang saw Yu Jinshu, she immediately understood the reason. She came over, took Yu Jinshu's hand and said, "Miss Zhang, you misunderstood. She is not a maid in the mansion. She is the miraculous doctor Miss Yu I told you about. It was she who cured my illness and said that I could live forty more years!"
Seeing this, the girl hurriedly bowed to Yu Jinshu and said, "I'm so sorry, I misjudged Miss Yu. Please forgive me!"
She bowed to Huo Qi again and said, "Your Highness, I really shouldn't have ordered Miss Yu around. I beg Your Highness to forgive me."
