Chapter 160 I can't get married, it's all your fault
Yu Shutong wanted to cry and laugh at the same time.
Brother Luo Bai still cares about her as before.
In his heart, her being alive is more important than anything else.
She didn't love the wrong person.
"No, Brother Luo Bai, you misunderstood. The emperor knows that we love each other and is willing to let me leave the palace." Yu Shutong held his hand again and explained word by word.
"Really?" Jing Luobai couldn't believe it at all.
"Really. But you will have to wait for me for a few more years. When the emperor unifies the world, I can leave the palace and live with you forever." A happy smile unconsciously appeared on Yu Shutong's face.
"If it's true, I would be willing to wait ten years, let alone a few years." Jing Luobai was very happy.
"Don't you mind that I was once the emperor's beauty?" Yu Shutong tested cautiously, not telling him that she had never been favored.
"It's God's blessing that I can see you again and be with you again. Why should I care about those trivial matters?" Jing Luobai hugged her with his backhand.
"Tongtong, I don't care about those chastity talks. What I care about is you as a person. As long as your heart is with me, I am not afraid. I have the courage to wait forever."
He was afraid that Yu Shutong would leave him because of this.
Yu Shutong pursed her lips and smiled, completely putting her worries aside.
"Why would the emperor agree to let you leave the palace?" Jing Luobai was very confused.
"I am now the Minister of Public Affairs. I work for the Emperor. Just like the Empress Shufei." Yu Shutong spoke of this with a tone full of pride.
"Are you eating the official's meal?" Jing Luobai was very surprised.
"Yeah." Yu Shutong nodded heavily.
"By the way, you can take part in the imperial examination this year. If you fail, you must seize the opportunity to take the college entrance examination in the second session. Daxia needs capable people. Brother Luo Bai, I believe you can do it!" she reminded.
This is a great opportunity to get ahead.
Although the emperor will let her leave the palace later, the Jing family may not be as willing to accept her as Jing Luobai.
It would be better to let Jing Luobai stand on his own and get an official position. Then, even if the Jing family disagrees, they can still set up their own business.
"Okay, I will definitely work hard and take you away from the capital when the time comes." Jing Luobai also thought of this.
The emperor let Tongtong leave the palace, and he certainly would not let her come back with her real identity.
It would be better for both of them to leave the capital at that time.
After all, there were too many acquaintances in the capital, and being recognized would inevitably cause discussion. Going to other places would make me feel more at ease.
Anyway, his eldest brother and second brother have given birth to several grandchildren for their parents, so it doesn't matter if he, a young son, is not around to fulfill his filial duties.
The two chatted with each other, full of expectations for the future.
Song Yulan and Huo Yizhou were guarding the gate of the courtyard. They had an inexplicable feeling that Yu Shutong was having an affair and they were just keeping watch.
"Pooh, pooh, pooh." Song Yulan quickly drove this ridiculous thought out of his mind.
"What's wrong?" Huo Yizhou looked at her in confusion.
"Nothing." Song Yulan shook her head quickly.
Just then, there was a commotion in the front yard.
"Why are you hiding my sister?"
"Concubine Song is in the palace, how could she be in our Jing family?" The eldest lady of the Jing family was furious.
The Song family rushed over in a hurry to look for someone, insisting that Song Yulan was in their house. How could that be possible?
"I saw her come in with my own eyes." Song Chong's words were sharp.
"Impossible." Madam Jing shook her head decisively.
"I miss my daughter so much, please let us meet her. I haven't seen Yu Lan for a long time." Mrs. Song started crying.
Madam Jing was annoyed by their noise and had no choice but to speak: "I have already said that today, it was Governor Huo from the Ministry of Public Security who brought people to investigate the case, and Concubine Song was not among them. If you don't believe me, I will take you to see it."
With her words, Mrs. Song and Song Chong hurriedly followed.
As soon as they walked into Jing Luobai's yard, they saw Song Yulan standing outside.
"Yu Lan, my Yu Lan!"
Song Yulan was chatting with Huo Yizhou when she heard a familiar voice.
She turned her head and found that it was her mother and elder brother.
How did they appear in the Jing family?
Before she could react, she was hugged by her mother.
"Woo woo woo, mother finally sees you."
"Little sister, you are so cruel that you pretended to be sick and didn't want to see mother." Song Chong followed behind and accused her.
Madam Jing was completely dumbfounded. How could Concubine Song appear in their yard?
Yu Shutong and Jing Ruobai also came out after hearing the noise. Madam Jing was even more confused when she saw Yu Shutong. Who could tell her what was going on?
Why did the emperor's concubines all come to their house?
"Mom, what do you want to talk to me about?" Song Yulan frowned slightly.
"You dead girl, you've been sick for half a year. Aren't you still worried about me?" Mrs. Song wiped the tears that she had finally held back from her eyes.
"Then you don't have to worry about it anymore. I'm fine now. You should leave quickly and don't delay my work." When Song Yulan saw the two of them appear at the same time, she had a bad feeling in her heart and wanted to send them away quickly.
"What can a woman like you do?" Mrs. Song looked at her in surprise.
"Mother, what dynasty are you thinking about? The emperor is wise, and now women can also serve as officials in the court. Now I am the chief minister of the Ministry of Public Security."
The Public Affairs Department is a new department established last year, so many people do not understand what it does.
"What's your official rank?" Mrs. Song couldn't help but ask.
Song Yulan stretched out his hand and slapped.
Mrs. Song took a breath of cold air. Her father was only a seventh-rank official, but her daughter suddenly became a fifth-rank official.
She reacted immediately and slapped Song Yulan hard on the shoulder.
"Last time you said you would promote your father and elder brother, but there was no news at all. It turns out you used the money to buy a position for yourself."
"Madam Song, please be careful with your words. Song Houzheng was appointed to his official position by the emperor. Do you think she bribed the emperor?" When Huo Yizhou said this, Madam Song and Song Chong were frightened.
Song Yulan was filled with rage. She didn't care that there were outsiders present, so she just lost face. Her mother and elder brother didn't care about her face anyway.
"Last time I said I would promote you, it was because I had done meritorious service and the emperor was willing to reward me. I can give it to whoever I want. If you want honors and official positions, go and earn them yourselves. You are incompetent and cannot be promoted, so what's the point of blaming me?"
This is truly heartbreaking.
Mr. Song worked diligently all his life as a seventh-rank official, and never got promoted. And Song Chong, a man in his twenties, had no official title or official position, so it was impossible for him to have a good marriage.
Unfortunately, the Song family was very picky and were unwilling to settle for the candidate for the eldest daughter-in-law, so Song Chong has not married yet.
"I'm your biological elder brother, but you don't even wish for my well-being. How can you be so selfish! It's all your fault that I can't get married." Song Chong was scolded so hard that he couldn't even raise his head.
Last time, the Song family thought he could get the official position, so they lied to the matchmaker. But when the girl found out that he had nothing but a beautiful sister who was not favored, she was unwilling to marry him.
He then blamed Song Yulan for this injustice.
"You can blame yourself for being ugly and dreaming too much, or you can blame your parents for being incompetent if you can't get married. But you can never blame me, your sister who has already entered the palace. If you can't have children in the future, are you going to blame my birth date for bringing bad luck to you?" Song Yulan sneered.
[The Jing family is really lively today. ]
Lu Li was enjoying eating the melon.
Lu Yanshi frowned slightly.
Jing family?
What happened that he didn't know about?
