Jiu Zhang Ji: The Daily Life of the Reborn Daughter

Chapter 161 Let Ali be the Sixth Prince's Consort Happily

Yu Jingyan sat down in the hall, Cai Ge served tea and snacks, and then quietly left. Cai Qin and Cai Wei were both in the East Palace to receive the dowry, and Cai Qi and Cai Xing were only responsible for their safety when they went out, so she was the only maid left in the house.

From spring to autumn, Yu Jingyan and Qiao Lili had not seen each other for several months. They met briefly on Shangchun Mountain that day. As it was getting late, they had no time to say anything and went down the mountain into the city.

The two have been busy with the betrothal ceremony these days and have not seen each other again. This is a good opportunity for them to explain to each other what happened during this period. After being reborn, Qiao Lili decided not to hide anything from Ajing. Being honest with each other is the solid foundation of a relationship.

The tea is not Chrysanthemum Dyed Snow, but top-grade Jasmine tea, which leaves a lingering fragrance in your mouth after you sip it.

Yu Jingyan felt that Qiao Lili had something to say, so he put down the cup in his hand, coughed softly, and carefully took Qiao Lili's hand: "Ali, my mother told me that my mother-in-law is still alive." Qiao Lili had told Concubine Yun about the opening of the coffin, because Concubine Yun was the first to doubt this matter.

Yu Jingyan felt that this was what Ali wanted to tell him the most. Yu Jingyan's big hand wrapped around Qiao Lili's small hand. His big hand was dry and warm, while her small hand was slightly cold. Perhaps because he was talking about her mother, whom she cared about the most, her palms immediately became sweaty, and her small hands were trembling slightly.

"Well," Qiao Lili sighed, "but I don't know where she is. I have to go find her somewhere." It's like the feeling of being happy, but not being happy.

"I can feel that she is not in a good condition now. She may still be poisoned. Because if she is fine, she will definitely come back. Father, brother, me, my younger brother, and even grandmother are all waiting for her to come back." Qiao Lili looked into the distance, as if to penetrate the Luping Garden and look at an unknown place.

"I sent people to inquire from various sources and even opened an information center for this purpose, but there is no useful information at all." Qiao Lili looked very sad, which made Yu Jingyan feel distressed.

"A Li, don't worry, I'm back. Let's look for my mother-in-law together. We will definitely find her." Yu Jingyan held Qiao Lili's hand with a firm expression.

The news has also been passed on to Duke Dingguo at the border. I believe he will also take action. Now that all parties have started to move, we should be able to get news soon.

Yu Jingyan thought that the reason why Ali thought of her mother today might be because today was the day for the engagement. If her mother-in-law was in charge of all this at the Duke Dingguo's Mansion at this moment, it would definitely be a different scene. Ali must be hoping that her mother was here at this moment.

When marrying A Li, he must find his mother-in-law. Yu Jingyan secretly made up his mind to let A Li be his sixth prince's consort happily.

Yu Jingyan carefully looked at the flower hall. Although it was not a bedroom, it was still full of traces of her life. There was a guqin by the window. I guess she often played by the window. The view outside this window was particularly exquisite.

The two windowless walls have bookshelves on one side and antique shelves on the other. Most of the books on the bookshelves have been read before. Ali is also a talented girl who reads a lot of books. Yes, she knows so much, it must have been from books.

The ornaments on the antique shelf fully demonstrated that this was the boudoir of a young woman, with bright red coral ornaments, exquisitely carved jade ornaments, jade bottles of various shapes, blue and white porcelain bottles, plum bottles with a few reeds inserted in them, and various small items. He also saw several familiar dancing dolls, which the two of them had bought in the Dunhua Ancient City.

In the bronze incense burner with a crane in the corner, smoke was curling up, a mixture of multiple fragrances, very light, but it made people feel extremely relaxed. Looking at all this, Yu Jingyan seemed to see the little girl with a bun in her hair when she was a child, slowly growing up in this room, and his heart softened.

Yu Jingyan hooked his little fingers around the back of Qiao Lili's hand and rubbed it gently. He really wanted to hug Qiao Lili. This was an action that he was very familiar with in other places, but when it came to Qiao Lili's little world, he felt a little at a loss as to how to start.

Just when he was about to open his arms towards Qiao Lili, someone came in to report that the betrothal gifts had already been delivered to the East Palace and had been counted. The Ministry of Rites had to go back to report, and of course they had to bring the Sixth Prince, who had come to propose marriage to the bride, back with them. This was the procedure.

Yu Jingyan's mood was hanging in the air. It would be better if it was a little later. He would be able to hug Ali a little later. As expected, the Ministry of Rites was a disgusting department.

Yu Jingyan had no choice but to say goodbye to Qiao Lili reluctantly.

The next evening, Concubine Yun held a banquet in Yunxiao Palace to entertain her son Yu Jingyan and her good child Qiao Lili. There were four people at the table, because Yu Linghuan was also invited (and insisted) to attend.

On a day like this, there was no way he could be allowed to sing a little song begging and pleading outside the gate of Yunxiao Palace.

Emperor Yong'an thinks that Qiao Lili is a great future daughter-in-law, and with her around, Fei'er's attitude towards him has improved a lot.

Of course, it would be better if she could leave quickly after I arrived.

"My dear, this fish is good. It was sent from Yunmeng Lake." Concubine Yun put the tenderest piece of meat from the fish's belly into Qiao Lili's bowl, which made Yu Linghuan very upset again. If this girl wasn't here, forget it. It wouldn't be his turn to eat the meat if she wasn't here. His Fei'er hasn't picked up food for him for many years.

Yunmeng Lake often sends gifts to Concubine Yun, including food, drinks, clothes and daily necessities, from red coral ornaments for Qiao Lili to useful embroidery needles and colorful embroidery threads. Yunmeng Lake also has fresh fruits and clothes of all seasons, as well as specialty lake seafood. Of course, Concubine Yun will also return the gifts. After so many years, the road between the two places must have become shiny.

Qiao Lili couldn't bear to look at the longing look in Emperor Yong'an's eyes. How could such a look come from the eyes of a high and mighty emperor who was decisive and ruthless? She had no choice but to stand up and serve him a bowl of Yunmeng Lake water shield soup.

Unexpectedly, this stirred up a hornet's nest. Yu Jingyan first glared at his father, and then shot the same look as her father's at Qiao Lili.

Qiao Lili immediately served him some water shield soup, he served Qiao Lili some bird's nest, Qiao Lili picked up a sea cucumber for him, and he peeled a shrimp for Qiao Lili. Qiao Lili took the bowl to receive it, but Yu Jingyan fed it directly into Qiao Lili's mouth.

Then, he stopped eating and looked at Qiao Lili with longing eyes. Qiao Lili had no choice but to peel a shrimp for him and wanted to put it into his bowl, but he came over with his mouth slightly opened, gently took it away, and licked Qiao Lili's finger inconspicuously.

Qiao Lili's face was redder than the shrimp just now. What was she trying to do in front of her parents-in-law who weren't married yet?

Emperor Yong'an was about to vomit. He looked at Concubine Yun, but she ignored him. His eyes were useless because the other party was out of service area and could not receive the signal. He wanted to peel shrimp for his Fei'er, but Concubine Yun showed him her bowl, which contained shrimp that Ah Zhu had peeled for her a long time ago.

During this meal, Yu Jingyan fed Qiao Lili a bite, and then waited for Qiao Lili to feed him a bite. The food was so sweet that it seemed to attract bees. However, it was a pity for his dear father. No matter what Yu Linghuan ate, it tasted like sour dog food.

He was wrong. Didn't he just ask his future daughter-in-law to serve him a bowl of soup? Was it necessary for him to suffer such torture?
