Jiu Zhang Ji: The Daily Life of the Reborn Daughter

Chapter 197 Causing a Great Disturbance in the Capital

Yu Jingyan was buried in a pile of memorials in the imperial study, thinking that little Ali would not come today. He would try to make it to Duke Dingguo's Mansion in time for dinner after he finished dealing with these important memorials.

He has eaten so many meals, whether it is against the rules or not. Besides, there is a happy event in the Duke Dingguo's Mansion today, so can he be kicked out?

Every day at the old lady's place, he was treated to a miserable life in which his father and mother did not love him, the two meat and two vegetable dishes in the palace were too bland, the prince's mansion had an empty stove and not even a cook, and he had nowhere to eat a hot meal. The old lady was so distressed that she even asked about his tastes from Kuai Lai Kuai Qu, and whenever he went there, she would cook his favorite dishes in different ways.

His elder brother-in-law Qiao Peng often visited him. At first, he was quite dissatisfied with him. Later, he catered to his wishes and allowed him to spar with him for a while every night. His attitude changed 180 degrees.

Qiao Peng was taught Langshan Kungfu by Duke Dingguo Qiao Xuan, which is the horse kungfu for the country and the country. Qiao Peng is a natural talent, and at this time he has surpassed his master. Yu Jingyan practiced the mysterious martial arts of the Yun family of Yunmeng Lake. After the two of them exchanged their skills, they both benefited a lot. In just these few days, Qiao Peng and Yu Jingyan's kung fu have improved more than a little. Therefore, Qiao Peng is very welcome to this brother-in-law who has not yet married to come to eat.

Qiao Peng thought that the Sixth Prince was a weak scholar, and judging from his thin and otherworldly appearance, he must be a delicate young man. However, he was shocked after their first fight. The Sixth Prince's martial arts were not inferior to his. The two men's martial arts were one heavy, the other elegant, one big and powerful, and the other light and graceful. They could always end up in a tie, and Yu Jingyan's lightness skills were even beyond his reach. He immediately felt a sense of cherishing his talent, and every time they met, they would fight for a hundred rounds, and he even seemed to be trying to snatch him from his sister.

The time spent playing with Qiao Zhen was completely taken up by Qiao Peng. Qiao Zhen was angry but dared not say anything.

"A Jing." Qiao Lili's voice came before her, "I'm here."

When Yu Jingyan heard Qiao Lili's voice, he rushed over and hugged her tightly in his arms, "Ali, I thought you weren't coming today. I missed you so much."

"It's only been one day since we last met, but you're already talking about whether you miss me or not." Yu Jingyan looked like an abandoned dog who finally found his owner.

"It feels like a long time since we last met. Ali doesn't even miss me. I'm so sad." Yu Jingyan lowered his head and rubbed Qiao Lili's neck. A tingling sensation spread throughout his body, and Qiao Lili's ears turned red as if blood was about to drip out.

"Ajing." Qiao Lili murmured. The word "Ajing" seemed to turn on a switch in Yu Jingyan. Yu Jingyan's lips searched for Qiao Lili's soft lips, pecked them lightly again and again, and then deepened the kiss.

Cai Qi and Cai Xing, who were following behind Qiao Lili, quickly stopped at the door of the Jade Study. Seeing this, Xiao Zhangzi and Xiao Yinzi also quietly left the Imperial Study and gently closed the door.

Qiao Lili's heart was pounding as if it was about to jump out of her chest, and Yu Jingyan's heartbeat was also like a drum. Their lips and teeth were intertwined, and their ears were rubbing against each other. Qiao Lili's body slowly melted into a pool of spring water.

"Ajing." When the two finally regained consciousness, it was already an incense stick later. At this moment, both of them were flushed and breathing heavily. Qiao Lili was even more so, with her hairpin tilted and her clothes disheveled.

Qiao Lili glared at Yu Jingyan with a pouty look, "What should I do?" If she asked a maid to tidy up her clothes and jewelry, it would be so embarrassing. She had to do it herself. However, these things were not easy for her, the eldest daughter of the Duke of Dingguo's mansion, who had been served by maids and old women since she was born. She helped herself up, but not only did she fail to tidy herself up, but her situation became even more messy.

"Ali, don't worry, I'll do it." Yu Jingyan had already tidied himself up. He first tied up Qiao Lili's messy clothes, then untied Qiao Lili's bun, and quickly made a bun for her that was exactly the same as before, and then inserted a hairpin.

"Ajing, when did you acquire such skills?" Qiao Lili looked at Yu Jingyan in the bronze mirror as he skillfully did all this. Before returning to Beijing from Ganjiang, he could only do a man's bun for her.

"Because I want to tie your hair, I will do it naturally." Yu Jingyan said shamelessly. If Kuai Lai and Kuai Qu were here at this time, they would definitely look at him with resentful eyes and say, "Master, are you worthy of the hair we lost?"

The master used their hair to practice making a bun for a woman, and practiced for a whole month, and even invited a palace lady to teach him. Forget it, now I can only hide my merits and fame.

With the addition of Qiao Lili, all affairs were handled very easily. Soon, the memorials were reviewed and the decrees were drafted. The two of them even had time to return to Duke Dingguo's Mansion for dinner.

From that day on, Qiao Lili, who was originally forced to work, had a fundamental change in her mentality, and went from being passive to active, from having to do things to taking the initiative to take responsibility, and even put forward some new suggestions. This change was not only felt by Yu Jingyan, but even Emperor Yong'an, and he couldn't help but feel secretly happy in his heart, is this the rhythm that the trumpet is going to practice?

The Princess of Lanna was leaving, but since she was leaving the day after submitting the memorial, there was no time to hold a farewell banquet for her. Emperor Yong'an ordered the Honglu Temple to set up a farewell banquet outside the Shili Pavilion in the capital, and that was it. Rong Jiang's departure did not cause any waves in the capital.

Later, the female official went to Saozhu Lane again, and after getting some false information from the fake Lou Xinyue, she poisoned her, meaning to kill the root of the problem. Fortunately, Bao Zhiqiang found out and asked Feng Shen Doctor to detoxify her in time, but to the outside world, Lou Xinyue was dead.

This incident also served as a reminder to Qiao Lili and Qiao Peng that such a harmless female official almost harmed the lives of their subordinates. In the future, they must never underestimate anyone.

The female official saw the funeral of the Bai family in Saozhu Lane on the first day, and submitted a letter of farewell on the second day, which shows her thoughts. Of course, since this female official dared to kill someone, Qiao Lili would not let her off easily. She would leave Dayan and enter Lanna in good condition, but her life would be in danger if she entered Lanna.

Originally, as long as you behave yourself, you can go home safely.

As the Mid-Autumn Examination began, Qiao Peng and Xiao Wenchu's wedding was also going smoothly and in full swing. The Imperial Astronomical Observatory matched their horoscopes, saying that they were "a match made in heaven, and they will complement each other." Then the Duke Dingguo's Mansion accepted the marriage on an auspicious day and time and arranged a small engagement.

The autumn examination lasts for nine days, which is an all-round test for the candidates both physically and mentally. Many candidates are often unable to withstand the nine-day torture physically and are carried out halfway.

However, in this year's autumn examination, the candidates who were carried out halfway through were not something that people in Beijing talked about, because there was another thing that attracted people's attention.

Everyone knows that the Crown Princess is in court, but she has no one available to work for her. In this autumn examination, the Emperor has issued an edict that any noble lady in the capital who wants to work under the Crown Princess can take part in the women's imperial examination.

The imperial examination for women lasted for three days, from chenshi to shenshi every day, and the examinee could leave the examination room and go home at the end of shenshi. They only needed to bring lunch to the examination room every day.

This decree caused an uproar in the capital.
