The next morning, Ji Yu did not help Yun Tiaotiao get up.
But after breakfast, she still stood at the living room door as usual, waiting for Yun Tiaotiao to go to school together.
At this time, Yun Zheng's husband came out with Yun Tiaotiao.
"Tiaotiao, come with me to the academy today! I want to ask Miss Ji Yu something."
Apparently, the horse riding incident yesterday had reached the ears of Yun Zhufu. She was probably going to inquire about Ji Yu's background.
After all, it is impossible for a child who grew up in poverty to have such superb horse riding skills.
Although Ji Yu knew that saving Yun Tiaotiao yesterday would expose himself, he still saved her without hesitation.
But how did she treat herself? She didn't trust herself and blamed herself for Xiao Qingmei.
Thinking of this, Ji Yu couldn't help but glare at Yun Tiaotiao.
Yun Tiaotiao met Ji Yu's eyes with a smile, and said in a soothing tone: "Father, please don't bully Ah Yu. Ah Yu saved me yesterday! Ah Yu is my best friend."
Watching Yun Tiaotiao walking further and further away, Ji Yu also obediently followed Master Yun into the house.
Yun Cefu and Su Jiayu were waiting for him in the room.
Ji Yu said so! How did it reach Yun Zhengfu's ears so quickly? It turned out that Su Jiayu was the one who was telling the truth!
As soon as Master Yun sat down, he began to question, "Do you know horse riding?"
Ji Yu nodded and admitted it generously. After all, so many people saw him riding a horse yesterday, it was impossible to hide it!
"My husband, I said that she is definitely a spy sent by the barbarians. The barbarians are good at riding and shooting. From five-year-old children to 80-year-old old men, everyone is good at riding and shooting."
"She is so young, yet she has such excellent horse riding skills. She is definitely not from my race."
Su Jiayu kept whispering in his ears.
Ji Yu lowered his head and let him continue to smear her without saying a word in defense.
"Do you have anything to explain? If you are really a barbarian, you can't bear the torture in the army." Master Yun persuaded.
He would rather listen to the person involved explain himself.
Ji Yu whispered, "Master, can I explain this to you alone? I have my own unspeakable secrets."
When Su Jiayu heard this, she quickly stopped him and said, "Madam, you absolutely cannot do this! He definitely wants to coerce you so that he can escape easily."
Ji Yu lowered his head, speaking with sincerity: "Madam, when you were young, you followed the general and fought on the battlefield for many years. You are truly a man who is as brave as a woman. Are you afraid of a young boy like me now that you are old?"
Master Yun thought about it and it made some sense. He ordered, "You two go out first! I will talk to him alone."
Ji Yu smiled. This general's husband was really as kind-hearted as the rumors said.
After both of them left the room, Master Yun asked, "Can you explain it to me now?"
Ji Yu nodded, took out a jade pendant from his arms and handed it to Madam Yun.
This jade pendant was a relic left by the original owner's mother, and it was the only thing that could prove Ji Yu's royal identity. Even when the original owner was about to starve to death, he had no intention of pawning the jade pendant.
Although this system is not very useful, it provides an excellent understanding of the interpersonal relationships among the characters in the book. For example, Yun Zhengfu and Ji Yu's biological father are close friends.
Master Yun took the jade pendant and his expression changed in an instant: "Who are you to Yizhi?"
"Yizhi is my father. He passed away last year due to illness." Ji Yu explained.
Mr. Yun asked again, "Did Yizhi tell you who your mother is?"
Ji Yu nodded. Although his father had not told him his mother's identity, the system had told him, so he knew it too.
Master Yun's voice became more and more excited: "Then child, why don't you go back to the capital. Your mother has been looking for you for many years."
Ji Yu shook his head and said, "I like Mobei City. I also like the endless yellow sand of the desert, the ever-changing climate here, and I also like the people here."
Yun Zhufu no longer wanted to ask Ji Yu why he knew horsemanship. After all, he was the most noble child in the dynasty, and he would never betray his mother and country.
"What's wrong with your face?"
Ji Yu touched the birthmark on his cheek and explained, "This is the birthmark of virginity."
"Virginity mark? Are you a man?"
Yun Zhufu was also confused. He only heard that after Yizhi gave birth to two children, she quarreled with the emperor and took one of the children away and fled the palace.
Outsiders only knew that Yizhi took away a prince, but they didn't know whether the child was a boy or a girl.
"Since you are a man, why do you want to stay and serve Tiao Tiao? If you go back in the future, won't it tarnish your innocence?"
Hearing that the other party was thinking about him, Ji Yu quickly waved his hands and said, "Tiao Tiao saved me, so I am willing to stay with Tiao Tiao to repay her. Please help me not to reveal my identity."
Ji Yu meant that not only should his identity as a prince not be revealed, but also his identity as a man dressed as a woman should not be revealed.
In the end, Yun Zhengfu nodded and agreed.
"Tiaotiao is young and ignorant. Although she has a bad temper, she doesn't have any bad intentions. If she makes you angry, don't make things difficult for her in the future."
Ji Yu nodded quickly: "Don't worry, Zhengfu. I treat Tiaotiao sincerely, so I won't argue with her too much."
Yun Zhengfu was relieved and said to Ji Yu, "Yizhi and I grew up together and are as close as brothers. From now on, you can call me little daddy! Then I will call you my distant niece from my mother's side."
Ji Yu called out affectionately, "Little Daddy."
After Yun Zhengfu returned the jade pendant to Ji Yu, the two walked out together.
