Jiu Zhang Ji: The Daily Life of the Reborn Daughter

Chapter 41 My name is Yu Jingyan

(High energy ahead, can bring in cover picture)

Qiao Lili didn't know how long she had slept. She had no dreams, just a sound sleep. When she opened her eyes, she found Ajing half-holding her and sitting under a peach tree. She was covered with a moon-white cloak, which should be Ajing's. The cloak was covered with peach blossoms.

Raising her eyes, Qiao Lili saw a meticulously carved face. The facial contours were three-dimensional, the bone structure was smooth and graceful, the eyebrows were sharp, the eyes were closed, and the crow-feather-like eyelashes cast a shadow on the lower eyelid. The nose was straight, and the originally firm lips were now curved in a beautiful arc for some reason. The jaw was straight and noble, the neck was slender, and the upper part of the black hair was held up by the jade crown, while the lower part fell on the shoulders.

As she watched this, Qiao Lili's heart suddenly began to beat, like the warm spring sun, making her slightly tipsy and feeling elated.

Perhaps sensing the change in her breathing, Yu Jingyan opened his eyes.

"Ali, let me introduce myself again. My name is Yu Jingyan."

"Brother Ajing, my name is Qiao Lili."

Qiao Lili sat up from Yu Jingyan's arms. She thought about the three words Yu Jingyan. She seemed to have heard of them before. There were not many people with the surname Yu. It was a royal surname. She suddenly remembered that the sixth prince born to Concubine Yun, who was doted on by the emperor and never seen by the emperor, was named Yu Jingyan.

Isn't that Concubine Yun the Fairy Auntie? ---Auntie Yun!

"Aunt Yun is Concubine Yun?" Yu Jingyan nodded.

"Are you the Sixth Prince?" Yu Jingyan nodded.

Yu Jingyan was also very familiar with the name Qiao Lili, the girl from the Duke of Dingguo's Mansion whose engagement had just been cancelled by her father.

At this moment, Yu Jingyan wanted to hug his father and kiss him a few times. Why was he so popular?

"A-Li, our mothers have an agreement that we will not tell each other our identities and remain friends like gentlemen."

"But I don't want to be like them. There is no agreement between us. I want you to be able to find me when you need me. I want to see you when I want to see you." At this time, both of them had stood up. Under a tree of bright peach blossoms, Yu Jingyan took Qiao Lili's hand.

If it was said that Qiao Lili threw herself into Yu Jingyan's arms and cried, it was just a subconscious reaction. She felt that her wandering and helpless soul finally had a support, so she ran over without any thought. It was also because she had been dreaming about her childhood dreams for the past few nights. At the moment she saw him, in her subconscious, she and Ajing were still the two children who had not grown up.

At this moment, when Yu Jingyan held Qiao Lili's hand again, the nature of the action was completely different. This was another signal. Combined with what he said, Qiao Lili could completely understand that her brother Ajing might be fond of her.

If, if the person who accompanies her in the future is Brother Ajing, then, living this life again will not only be for revenge, but also have other expectations.

But, is she worthy?

"Brother Ajing, I am engaged. My mother arranged a marriage for me before she died, but she just called it off a few days ago. Don't you despise me?" Qiao Lili lowered her head. Although she and Bai Junzhe were mortal enemies, that could not cover up the fact that they were engaged in the past.

"Why should you despise me? You know, this is the best and most correct thing my father has ever done. From now on, I will speak well of him in front of my mother every day." Yu Jingyan held Qiao Lili's hands to his chest.

"Ali, do you know? I liked you when we last met six years ago. Maybe even earlier, when I made a flower crown for you for the first time. I said you looked like a bride."

"Ah Li, my mother came to Baihua Valley once and never came again. She said she was afraid to face your mother's broken promise. Since then, I have come alone twice a year to keep the appointment."

"Ali, before today, I have made a decision. If I don't hear from you and Aunt Wen again, I will use all my connections to find you, because you are sixteen years old, and I am afraid..."

"So, Ali, don't reject me."

"Okay." Qiao Lili said softly and lowered her head. She didn't want to refuse.

Walking in spring, with peach blossoms blowing all over my head, I see a young man standing on the street, so romantic. I intend to marry him and spend my life with him.

As she answered with the word "OK", Qiao Lili felt Yu Jingyan's hand tremble. Not only his hand, but his whole body trembled. He gently held Qiao Lili in his arms, as if he was holding a fragile and rare treasure, as if he was holding the whole world in his arms.

His chin touched the top of her head. "Good Ali," he whispered softly, "Good Ali." His chin gently stroked the top of her head.

Qiao Lili gently closed her eyes, quietly felt and listened. In addition to Yu Jingyan's murmurs, there was also the sound of wind blowing, the sound of butterflies flapping their wings, the sound of wild flowers blooming, and the sound of peach blossoms falling. All the sounds were louder than Yu Jingyan's murmurs, because his voice had reached the depths of her soul.

......

"A-Li, I have to go on a long trip the day after tomorrow. When I come back, I will go to the Duke Dingguo's mansion to propose marriage."

......

Before going down the mountain, Yu Jingyan took Qiao Lili to the tree hole. Qiao Lili reached in and took out a letter with blurred handwriting. Fortunately, there were not many words on the letter and it was still recognizable. There were only four words on the letter: "What is that?"

"This letter has been waiting here for six years." Yu Jingyan tucked Qiao Lili's wind-blown hair behind her ears.

"What does this sentence mean?" Qiao Lili didn't understand.

"Your mother told my mother in the letter that she would bring something with it. If my mother was willing, she could keep it. If not, she could put it back in the tree hole. However, my mother only found a letter in the tree hole and nothing else. So she wrote back to ask what it was."

"Have you read the letter my mother wrote?" Qiao Lili asked. Her mother didn't say that she wanted to bring anything to Fairy Aunt.

"I haven't read it. My mother told me. She is so stingy, how could she show me her own letter?" Yu Jingyan complained sweetly.

"Ajing, think about it, when giving something to someone, shouldn't you ask if they like it? Why ask if they are willing to give it?" Qiao Lili tried hard to think whether her mother gave her something else at that time.

"You, it seems that what you said is right." Yu Jingyan wondered if he remembered it wrongly, but no, he clearly remembered that his mother was also talking to herself in confusion: "Giving me something and asking if I am willing, this weird little Xixi."

"My mother told me to put the things in the drawer into the tree hole. Mother, we will miss the appointment this year. After that, my mother fell asleep. I opened the drawer and saw a letter written to the fairy aunt. I took the letter and put it in the tree hole. I came here by myself, without anyone else's hands."

Yu Jingyan thought for a moment and asked, "Is there anything else in the drawer?"

"In addition to the letter, there is also something else in the drawer," Qiao Lili recalled the scene carefully, "and also, my engagement letter."

After Qiao Lili said this, both of them had their minds exploded. If it was a Engagement Letter, then they matched. If they were willing to get married, they could keep the Engagement Letter. If not, they could put it back in the tree hole.

Before her mother passed away, she wanted to betroth her to Yu Jingyan, but even if she didn't take the engagement letter, it was impossible for her mother to change her mind in such a short time. So, there must be something fishy about what Bai said about her mother agreeing to her engagement with Bai Junzhe.

It's pitiful and sad. In her previous life, she was tortured for five years and lost her life because of such a scam.

"Ajing," her tears fell down.

"Call me Brother Ajing." Yu Jingyan held her face and wiped her tears.

"Brother Jing."

"Your mother wants us to get engaged."

"Ah."

"My mother agreed. She has praised the daughter of the Duke Ding's family several times, and even said, why would she marry such a good girl so early?"

"Yeah." Qiao Lili's tears burst out. She could not say anything except "yes" with sobs.
