Mrs. Xu actually doesn't mind Xu Ying and Tu Qingyu playing together.
She had heard that Tu Qingyu was very generous to his close friends.
The Tu family is rich. If Tu Qingyu is willing, not to mention Xu Ying, even she should be able to get some benefits.
Moreover, the Tu family has many promising sons, and Tu Qingyu himself is engaged to the Pei family.
There is no harm in being friends with Tu Qingyu.
After getting the consent, Xu Ying stood up and went to Tu Qingyu.
As they got closer, the smiles on the faces of the women of the Tu family disappeared.
Xu Ying bowed politely, "Greetings to Madam Tu, and to Lady Shu, Lady Gong, and Lady Yi."
"Miss Xu, you're too polite." Mrs. Tu said with a forced smile, "Why are you coming here..."
"I saw Qingyu here and wanted to talk to him."
"Really?" The eldest sister-in-law of the Tu family also spoke calmly, "I also want to thank Miss Xu for thinking about my sister. My sister is really lucky to have a friend like you."
Everyone present heard a hint of sarcasm in these words.
After all, everyone knows what is going on between them.
Xu Ying simply pinched her fingers, then smiled as if nothing had happened, saying, "Shu Ren, you're too kind. I'm lucky to have a good friend like Qing Yu."
If they weren't in public, they would really want to roll their eyes.
In comparison, Tu Qingyu seemed to be more patient.
"Since we last parted, I've had a lot to say to Sister Xu. I heard that Sister Xu was there when I fell last time. I was so stunned at the time that I didn't know what happened. I wonder if Sister Xu could accompany me to see the place where I fell last time?"
She did fall in the palace last time. The last time she entered the palace was during the New Year's banquet.
Xu Ying told her original self that Xu Kangsheng had something to give her and asked her to go with him to a secluded place and give the thing to her.
The original body was indeed arrogant, but also simple.
Tu's father and mother protected her very well. The worst thing they could imagine was that Xu Ying asked her out and the two of them had a fight.
She had no idea that the other party actually dared to push her.
Hearing this, Xu Ying's eyes were a little flustered. "Who said I was next to you last time?"
Tu Qingyu pulled the corners of his mouth and smiled brightly, "Don't you know? There are only two palace maids."
"Really?" This time, Xu Ying's smile was really a bit forced. "Maybe they saw it wrongly. I wasn't there at the time. But later, I can go with you to check and find those two palace servants. Maybe it can help you remember something."
"Really?" She looked surprised. "It would be great if you could go with me."
Then he muttered, "But last time, I clearly remember that it was you who asked me out. Why weren't you there afterwards?"
Xu Ying was really panicking. At this moment, a message came from outside the hall.
"The Emperor has arrived—The Empress Dowager has arrived—Master Pei has arrived—!"
Everyone in the hall knelt down and said, "We pay our respects to the Emperor. Long live the Emperor."
"Greetings to Her Majesty the Queen Mother, may Her Majesty live a thousand years and a thousand thousand years."
"Greetings, Grand Master, may you live a thousand years and live in peace."
The fact that Pei Jian was able to allow all officials and ladies to pay homage with the Emperor and the Empress Dowager shows that he was truly extremely powerful.
"No need to be polite."
"Thank you, Your Majesty, and thank you, Your Majesty."
Tu Qingyu stood up with everyone else. When everyone lowered their heads, she quietly raised her head and looked at the man in black robe standing in front of the little emperor.
The man was very tall, and just standing there quietly, he exuded an endless sense of oppression.
So much so that the first thing people see is the terrifying darkness.
Even the black bamboo embroidered on the collar seemed to carry a different kind of pride and awe from the other bamboos.
Instead, people overlooked his deep and handsome facial features, broad shoulders and narrow waist, and perfect proportions.
His reaction was very sharp, and he noticed her the moment Tu Qingyu looked over.
Those dark eyes were very indifferent, and she even saw some compassion from the gods and Buddhas in that indifference.
Coupled with the string of Buddhist beads on his wrist, he exudes a compassionate temperament.
Tu Qingyu: ???
"This son of destiny really wants to become a monk?"
Dabao: "To be precise, I'm already preparing to become a monk."
After hearing this, Tu Qingyu became excited. She liked challenging things.
She smiled slightly at the man above her, and the next moment, the man looked away.
Dabao: Oh no, what a disastrous defeat.
"Master, don't be discouraged. This is normal since it's your first meeting."
"Who said I was discouraged?" She became even more excited.
After the greetings and a few pleasantries at the banquet, the Queen Mother said that we could walk around and enjoy the flowers on our own.
Tu Qingyu seemed to have forgotten what had just happened and was going to appreciate the flowers with his good friend.
Xu Ying saw her about to leave and immediately went over to her, "Sister Tu, didn't you say we should go there later..."
She didn't say the rest of the words, hoping Tu Qingyu would understand.
Tu Qingyu also understood, "Oh, yes, if you hadn't told me, I would have almost forgotten."
"I have some things to deal with her, please wait for me."
"Okay, then come back early."
These two friends, one is the youngest daughter of the Chengyang Marquis family, and the other is the young county lady of the Zhaohe County Prince family.
They were all spoiled at home and grew up together. When they were young, they got into a fight and ended up playing together.
Yu Qi glared at Xu Ying and said, "This county lady is telling you, don't play any tricks, or you'll be in trouble."
Last time she suspected that Qingyu's kowtow had something to do with this person.
Xu Ying squatted slightly, "County Lady, you're joking. Sister Tu and I are good friends, how could I harm her?"
"That's not necessarily true." Zhou Baozhu next to her curled her lips.
Tu Qingyu straightened her dress, gave her two friends a reassuring look, and followed Xu Ying.
Yu Qi frowned as she looked at their backs. "I'm always feeling uneasy. Why don't we go and take a look?"
"Okay." Zhou Baozhu nodded.
However, they lost him not long after they left the hall.
"How do we get there?" Zhou Baozhu tugged at Yu Qi's sleeve, hoping she could point out a way.
"This..." Yu Qi was a little confused, "I don't know either."
Although she was a county lady, her father was only a prince of the royal family and did not often come to the palace.
Most of the time, she was just like other daughters from official families. Whenever her mother entered the palace, she would have the opportunity to enter the palace.
Besides, to enter the palace, one either had to take a sedan chair or be led by palace servants. Why would they need to know the way?
The palace maids who followed them did not dare to take them around casually, and could only lower their heads and pretend to be mute.
In the end, the two people had no choice but to discuss going back to find Tu's mother.
On the other side, Tu Qingyu and Xu Ying had already walked to the rockery where the original body had the accident that day.
Dabao: "Master, Pei Jian is here too."
