Next, the Queen Dowager arranged accommodation for the girls so that they could rest for a while before going to the dining hall to attend lunch.
Yu Jinshu was arranged to live in a very secluded courtyard. The maids in the mansion said that usually only the prince came here to practice martial arts, write, and read books in his spare time.
The other girls were all arranged in the guest house.
Yu Jinshu entered the yard and found that although the yard was in a remote location, it was decorated very elegantly. What was rare was that the yard was very large and there was a very large ginkgo tree in it. Looking at the tree, it was probably a thousand years old.
It is not difficult to imagine that in autumn, the yellow leaves on the trees will be like a giant umbrella covering your head, which must be extremely beautiful.
The maid took Yu Jinshu to the bedroom.
"Miss Yu, please wait a moment. The prince sometimes rests in this bedroom. Please allow me to change the bedding."
Yu Jinshu said nothing. He watched the maid tidy up the bedding on the couch, and then found a new set of sheets and quilt from the cabinet and put them on top.
After the maid had made the bed, she saw that Yu Jinshu had no clothes to change into, so she said, "I'll go to the guest house and get some clothes for you, young lady."
Yu Jinshu didn't say anything. This maid was specially arranged for Yu Jinshu by Concubine Dowager Wang, who also said that she must be served well and not neglected.
The maid was very perceptive. Although she didn't dress well, she was the Dowager Princess's savior, and all the girls were trying to please her!
After the maid left, Yu Jinshu lay down on the couch.
After leaving the Shen family, she had never slept in a bed. She had always slept on the floor or in a carriage.
It feels so good to lie on the couch.
When the maid arrived, she was holding several gorgeous clothes in her arms.
Several other maids brought in a burning charcoal brazier.
As soon as the charcoal brazier was brought into the room, it soon became warm.
A maid also brought an incense burner.
In a trance, she seemed to have returned to the past, back to the time when she was not yet married.
With the original owner's memory and emotions, she vividly remembered that as the only daughter of her parents, she lived a life of luxury.
Later, when she arrived at the Shen family, even though she had fine clothes and delicious food, she lost her appetite because of family matters. She felt humble and anxious, and not a single day was comfortable.
The maid came over and asked, "Miss Yu, do you want to change your clothes?" She looked at the shabby cotton skirt on Yu Jinshu.
Yu Jinshu said calmly: "No need to change it, let's change it tomorrow!"
When lunchtime came, she should go to the dining room.
When Yu Jinshu arrived at the dining hall, he found that most of the girls present had changed their clothes and put on new makeup. The whole dining hall was filled with a strong smell of cosmetics, which almost overwhelmed the aroma of the food.
The girls all looked towards the door frequently, expecting the King of Mobei to appear.
When they came here today, they only saw King Mobei once in the flower hall. King Mobei was angry at that time and he never appeared again after that.
In Huo Qi's study, he had asked the kitchen to bring food over and he and Yu Yufan were eating together.
The two of them chatted about the world and the current situation, and had a great time.
Huo Qi had long heard that Yu Yufan was a talented young man in the capital, and that he was quite strategic and had martial arts skills.
"Brother Yu, you have such talent. It would be a waste to open up wasteland in the suburbs of Beijing. It would be better for you to come to my side and serve as a staff member in the palace."
Yu Yufan was flattered and quickly stood up and bowed to Huo Qi: "Your Highness, with my current status, I really don't dare to bring trouble to you."
Huo Qi said, "Don't worry about getting me into trouble. I'm not afraid of that guy in the capital."
He didn't say anything more.
Yu Yufan understood what Huo Qi meant. In fact, the one in the capital was really doing nothing, so it wouldn't be impossible for him to rebel.
Who knows, there might be a day when the Yu family will rise again.
But this matter concerns more than 200 members of the Yu family, so he has to be cautious.
As for being Huo Qi's aide, if Huo Qi is not afraid, then what is he afraid of?
Huo Qi offered a glass of wine to Yu Yufan and asked, "How about being my advisor? I really need you."
Yu Yufan picked up the wine glass and toasted: "Then Yufan would rather obey than obey!" He tilted his head back and drank the wine in one gulp.
At this time, Bo came in.
Huo Qi and Yu Yufan quickly stood up.
"Mother."
"The Queen Dowager."
After Bo responded to Yu Yufan's request, she walked over to her son and said, "My son, didn't I invite these girls here just for you to see? When you went to the flower hall earlier, you didn't even look at the girls, and instead scared them. They're all waiting for you in the dining hall now. You might as well show up and see one of them before returning to the study."
Huo Qi said: "There's no need to see each other, I already have someone in mind."
After hearing this, Bo was delighted and asked, "Wang'er, which one do you like?"
Huo Qi glanced at Yu Yufan and wanted to say it was Yu Jinshu, but he was worried that his mother would not agree, which would embarrass Yu Yufan and let Yu Jinshu know that his mother did not agree with them, so he did not say Yu Jinshu.
Seeing that her son didn't say anything, Bo Shi pressed him again, "Wang'er, tell me, which family is this girl from? Is she from the governor's family?"
Huo Qi shook his head: "Mother, I heard that you let them stay in the mansion for a few days, so wait a few days and I will tell you who it is."
Bo nodded: "Okay, you can take a closer look at them. Show up in front of them more often so that you can check out their character."
Huo Qi said, "Mother, I understand."
Bo looked at the food and wine on the two tables and said, "Wang'er, you're not going then?"
Yu Yufan advised, "Your Highness, please go to the dining hall! Don't worry about me."
Huo Qi said, "Why don't you go with me?"
Yu Yufan waved his hands quickly: "No, no, no, I'm a criminal slave, how can I show my eyes in front of them?"
Huo Qi said, "Next time, don't tell me you're a criminal slave. In my heart, you're not a criminal slave, and neither are any of you in the Yu family."
Yu Yufan was very grateful after hearing these words.
Huo Qi said, "If you don't go, then I won't go either."
Upon hearing this, Bo persuaded Yu Yufan: "Yufan, come along! Your sister is in the dining room too, so just go sit with her."
Yu Yufan didn't dare to make Concubine Wang angry, so he agreed reluctantly.
In the dining hall, the girls waited anxiously until Huo finally arrived.
Although Huo Qi was wearing a mask, they all had portraits of Huo Qi in private. The person in the painting looked like a god descending from heaven, so heroic and handsome that even gods could not compare to him.
They looked at Huo Qi and almost held their breath.
And the man behind Huo Qi, they all remembered him as Yu Jinshu's brother. He was dressed as poorly as Yu Jinshu, but even so, it couldn't hide his handsome appearance and temperament.
What a pity!
Some girls have heard of the most talented and famous young man in the capital, Yu Yufan, the prince of Kaiyang Palace.
But looking at the King of Mobei's behavior, it seems that he likes Yu Yufan very much.
In this way, they would not dare to look down on Yu Yufan.
As soon as Huo Qi entered the dining room, his eyes fell on Yu Jinshu.
