Quick Wear of Pregnant and Soft Beauty

Chapter 9 The Domineering and Indifferent General × Substitute Marry Prime Minister Jin 9

"Jade Bone Muscle Ointment." Bi Tao held the porcelain bottle and said, "Miss, tell me if this is a gift from a young master who admires you."

Zhao Yin looked at the bottle carefully and found that this bottle alone was expensive. Open the bottle cap, and a light and pleasant medicinal fragrance wafts out.

In her previous life, she had heard from Zhu Sheng that the prince's health could not bear it, so the emperor issued an imperial list to find the Yao Lao.

Anyone who can provide clues will be rewarded with a thousand taels of gold. Unfortunately, there was still no news until the prince became seriously ill.

By that time, Huo Yan had already died on the battlefield.

There is a bottle of jade bone vitality ointment in the palace. Zhao Yin is not sure whether this bottle is real or fake. "Put away things of unknown origin first."

In any case, she doesn't need the medicine for the time being.

Bi Tao always felt that she had forgotten something, and she only thought of it when she applied the medicine to Zhao Yin. "Miss, the concierge just said that Mr. Zhu is coming to visit you and is waiting in the lobby."

They had grown up together since childhood, and the two families were planning to get married, so it was reasonable for Zhu Sheng to come over to visit her.

"Miss, I used to think that Mr. Zhu was too weak and had no talent. He might not be able to protect the young lady in the future. Now it seems that Mr. Zhu is quite reliable."

Zhao Yin thought in her heart that it turned out that she could not see as clearly as Bitao.

"Bitao, go out and tell Brother Asheng that I am too weak to see guests. His kindness is appreciated."

Bi Tao was a little shocked and glanced at her young lady who didn't seem as happy as before when she mentioned Mr. Zhu. "Yes, I'll go right away."

Zhu Sheng waited in the hall for an hour, almost drinking a pot of tea before waiting for Bitao who arrived belatedly.

"Master Zhu, my lady is not feeling well, and I appreciate your kindness. Please go back today."

"Bitao, tell me, sister Yinyin, is she seriously injured?"

Baguio shook his head, looking sad. "Hard to say."

Zhu Sheng's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that Sister Yinyin was really disfigured as rumored outside?

Thinking of the last Chinese Valentine's Day when sister Yinyin's beautiful appearance was ruined, Zhu Sheng complained in his heart that Zhao Mingzhu was so vicious when they were both sisters.

"Bitao, don't worry, I will ask my family to find the best medicine."

"I would like to thank you on behalf of the young lady."

Zhao Mingzhu was kneeling in the ancestral hall and copying Buddhist scriptures, with a grandma watching next to her.

Recently, Zhao Yin and the caring little cotton-padded jacket often go to tell stories to the old lady to relieve her boredom. Who doesn't like sweet-talking, pretty and soft little girls to surround them.

Moreover, Zhao Yin is very good at playing. Today, she took her maid to pick flowers to make rouge and beauty cream. Let's play shuttlecock together tomorrow.

Now the people in the old lady's yard are most looking forward to the second young lady coming to play.

Zhao Yin was injured, and the old lady's yard suddenly became quiet, and everyone couldn't adapt to it.

After hearing what the palace meant, the old lady asked the strictest old lady around her to come over and teach Zhao Mingzhu well, so as not to cause trouble outside and bring down the family in the future.

"Miss, keep your back straight and kneel upright. You are about to get married. Your words and deeds represent the face of the Prime Minister's Palace. There can be no mistakes."

Zhao Mingzhu knelt all morning and her back ached, but she didn't dare to say anything.

This is the nanny next to the old lady. Her father is already angry with her. If the nanny goes to complain, she may really have to stay here until she gets married.

After the eldest lady came back from her parents' home, she heard the discussion outside and knew something was wrong. She obviously ordered the people below not to spread the word about this matter. Who is it that has evil intentions and wants to ruin the reputation of her family's Zhuzhu'er?

At noon, the eldest lady went to visit Zhao Mingzhu with a food box.

She winked, and the maid next to her immediately stepped forward and stuffed her with a lot of gold. "Mommy, you must be tired after standing all morning. Come with me to have something to eat and have a rest."

Mammy put away the gold, "I'm really a little tired."

"Mom!" Zhao Mingzhu cried and ran towards the eldest lady, "Dad, he is so cruel, my knees are swollen."

"My Zhuzhu'er is suffering." The eldest lady hugged her and patted her shoulder.

Zhao Mingzhu thought of something, "Mom, grandma, is there anything she can do?"

"No hurry, you have something to eat first."

As soon as Zhao Mingzhu heard this, she knew that her mother had an idea.

"Mom, is this okay?"

"Why not? You and she are both the legitimate daughters of the prime minister's house, and you will not insult Huo Yan due to your status."

Zhao Mingzhu bit her lip, "Dad will not agree."

"When we can't find you, your father has no choice but to ask her to marry in your place. Don't worry, mother will arrange everything properly and will never let you marry Huo Yan and ruin your life."

Zhao Mingzhu's heart gradually calmed down. Yes, she has a mother and a grandmother, and they will help her.

What does Zhao Yin have? She can't compare to herself anywhere.

On the roof, Wu San exchanged glances with his classmates. This mother and daughter really had a good plan. He wanted to go back and report it to his master as soon as possible.

Ever since the eldest lady visited Zhao Mingzhu, she had settled down and seemed to have returned to the well-educated and sensible Zhao Mingzhu before.

She also asked her maid to give Zhao Yin a lot of jewelry, saying that she would come out to apologize to Zhao Yin in person after she had thought about it.

The attitude was so sincere that Bi Tao couldn't believe it.

"Miss, has she figured it out?"

Zhao Yin shook his head secretly in his mind. It was probably the eldest lady who told her something, and it must have something to do with her marriage.

In this case, what she has to do is to wait and see what happens.

Wu San hurried back to report to his master. Huo Yan said calmly, "Yeah."

Wu San didn't know what this meant.

"Master, do I want to stop the eldest lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion from escaping from her marriage?"

Huo Yan: "No, I don't like forcing things on others."

Wu San secretly cursed Zhao Mingzhu in his heart. He was so blessed that he didn't know how lucky he was. He didn't know how many women in Kyoto wanted to marry his master.

After the death of General Huo last year, only Huo Yan was left in the Huo family. The emperor specially ordered the Ministry of Rites to handle his marriage.

In order to satisfy the emperor and flatter Huo Yan, the Ministry of Rites was very interested. The subordinates are asked to work overtime all day long to purchase items. As for the betrothal gift, the general's house has a butler who will prepare it.

Five days before the wedding, the eldest lady told Zhao Mingxuan that Mrs. Li wanted to take Zhao Mingzhu to offer incense.

The eldest lady is the youngest daughter of the Duke's wife. She is very fond of her. She loves the house very much and she is also very fond of Zhao Mingzhu.

Zhao Mingxuan did not agree immediately, "We are getting married soon. Have Zhu'er's wedding quilt and handkerchief been embroidered?" For wealthy families, these things are made by skilled embroiderers. Zhao Mingxuan's original intention was not to let Zhao Mingzhu go.

"It's all done. Master, Mingzhu has been thinking about it behind closed doors in the ancestral hall for a long time, and she already knows that she was wrong. The old lady feels sorry for Pearl and wants to take her out to worship Buddha and relax before she gets married."

Zhao Mingxuan was worried about the Duke's mansion but reluctantly agreed.

Zhao Yin worked with the maids in the old lady's yard to dry the collected flowers and make gouache rouge. The sun was a little bright, and Bi Tao held an umbrella behind her.

Bai Shao came in and said hello to Zhao Yin and told her that Zhao Mingzhu was going to accompany Mrs. Li to go out to offer incense.

The old lady's face darkened, "What tricks is she trying to pull?"

"Grandma, it's a good thing to worship Buddha. I heard that my eldest sister has lost a lot of weight recently in the ancestral hall. I guess Mrs. Li feels sorry for her."

The old lady had a suspicion in her mind that Zhao Mingzhu was also her granddaughter, and Old Madam Li acted as if she didn't care about her child.

"I know grandma, you are worried about eldest sister. With Mrs. Li watching over her, she should be fine." Zhao Yin's forehead was still wrapped in a thin strip of white cloth, which made her charming face look a little more fragile and pitiful.

The doctor said that her skin is delicate and her recovery will naturally be slower than that of ordinary people. Whether or not scars will remain depends on how the scabs will fall off later.

The old lady held her hand with some distress, "Yin'er, I've wronged you. Don't worry, I will definitely choose a good marriage for you."

Zhao Yin shook his head, his eyes slightly red. "Grandma, Yin'er has been thinking a lot recently, and there is nothing good about getting married. Yin'er wants to stay with grandma and accompany you all her life."

The old lady felt even more uncomfortable. In the past, Zhao Yin was so public and wanton, and the old lady was always afraid that her face would bring trouble to the family.

But now that I see her so pitiful, I feel really guilty.

"Silly boy, what nonsense are you talking about? How can a woman not marry? You are the second young lady of the Prime Minister's Palace. With your father and grandmother here, no one dares to bully you."

The old lady thought her appearance was damaged and couldn't bear to think about it.

In fact, Zhao Yin said this deliberately in front of the old lady.

Zhao Mingzhu didn't want to get married, but she couldn't bring trouble to the Prime Minister's Palace. There was only one way, to marry on behalf of others.

This idea came to my mind when I heard Bai Shao say that Zhao Mingzhu was going to burn incense.

She and Zhao Mingzhu are both legitimate daughters, which is most suitable.

By then, the deal was done, and no matter how angry the emperor was, it was impossible to actually chop off the heads of everyone in the prime minister's house.

Zhao Yin didn't need to do anything, everything developed in the direction she wanted.

She had just planted a seed in the old lady's heart, and this seed would come out later when Zhao Mingzhu ran away from marriage and asked her to marry her instead.

Two days before her wedding, Zhao Mingzhu had not come back yet. Zhao Mingxuan couldn't sit still and called the eldest lady for questioning.

As a result, the maid next to the eldest lady rushed in and shouted: "Master, something happened to the eldest lady!"

Zhao Mingxuan froze and stared. "What happened to your pearl?"

The maid said in a panic: "The eldest lady and the old lady are missing. The people we sent out did not find them."

Zhao Mingxuan thought of the emperor's majestic face, and then thought of Huo Yan's cold masked eyes, his eyes darkened, and he fainted.

"Master! Someone come quickly! Master has fainted!"

Knowing that the matter was serious, the housekeeper quickly told the maid not to shout, and ordered someone to secretly call the old lady over.

It is a big event that everyone in Kyoto knows is that the eldest lady will marry General Huo the day after tomorrow. Now that the eldest lady is missing and the emperor is blaming her, the entire Prime Minister's Mansion is in trouble.
