Jiu Zhang Ji: The Daily Life of the Reborn Daughter

Chapter 7: Skirt Banquet ()

The group of people followed Yu Xinyao out of the garden gate, walked around the screen wall, and sure enough, they arrived at the small courtyard that Qiao Lili had just been to.

The little girl who had just brought Qiao Lili to change clothes was guarding the door. She was a little at a loss when she saw a group of people suddenly arriving.

"What are you doing here?" asked Yu Lan who was beside Yu Xinyao.

"Take Miss Qiao here to change her clothes." The little girl spoke every word clearly while trembling.

"Why are you changing clothes here?" Yu Xinyao didn't want to watch the fun, she personally questioned the little girl in a stern voice.

"Miss Qiao said she wanted to change clothes here. She said there were not many people here." The little girl knelt on the ground with a plop: "I deserve to die, I deserve to die." She admitted her fault, but in the eyes of others, it seemed that she was not responsible.

"This courtyard is the guest house where my eldest and second brothers rest when they come to our house. How can we let others in? Come, drag this ignorant little hoof away and beat him to death." Yu Xinyao waved her sleeves and walked towards the door.

"My eldest brother didn't come today because he had something to do, so my second brother is resting here. I hope he won't be disturbed." He stopped talking here and his steps towards the yard also stopped because the sound coming from a room was too loud to ignore.

At this time, the noble ladies who followed into the courtyard blushed one after another. Voices came from both men and women, and those who knew what was going on knew what was going on.

At this time, the person accompanying the Third Princess was Mrs. Pei, the wife of Zhang Xianzheng, the Shaoqing of the Dali Temple. The Third Princess had invited her three sisters-in-law, and Old Madam Zhang was worried, so she asked her to accompany her to the banquet. It was not that she had a good relationship with the Third Princess, but as soon as she arrived, the Third Princess called her to talk, and she wanted to leave several times but couldn't.

You have to attend the banquet that Yu Xinyao invited you to, but that doesn't mean you have to be friends with her. She keeps a lot of lovers in the mansion. If they get close to her, they will create a rift with their husbands. Most people would avoid it if they can, but if they can't, they would just go ahead with it.

"Madam Pei, the person inside is Miss Qiao. She is my sixth brother's fiancée. My sixth brother is not in the capital now. What do you think we should do?" The third princess asked Madam Pei with pretended concern.

Pei was so angry that she didn't know what expression to put on her face. What advice could she, a family member of a small Dali Temple Shaoqing, give to a royal princess? This was a typical trap for her. I'm afraid that from the first step she took into the princess's mansion, the third princess had already chosen her as a cannon fodder.

The people in the Dali Temple, from the chief minister to the junior minister, are all loyal subjects who only obey the emperor and have repeatedly rejected the eldest prince's solicitation. The third princess must be holding a grudge against him, so she is using her as a knife to attack him.

If Pei was a woman who didn't know what was going on, how could Madam Zhang leave her three daughters to her? She suddenly had an idea and looked at Madam Zheng in the crowd: "Madam Zheng, you are the elder here. We are all young and ignorant. You should come up with some ideas."

Madam Zheng was the mother's family of Concubine Zheng and had the Second Prince as her nephew. She was usually very domineering. At this critical moment, someone asked her to step forward and make the decision. She pushed away the person standing in front of her and took two steps to stand in front of Yu Xinyao and Pei.

Just now, she had taken a fancy to a little girl and tried to get close to her. Her useless son had a lot of concubines and maids in the backyard, but he just lacked a wife. When she found out that everyone was following the third princess, she could no longer keep up with the leading group.

She originally thought that she could only watch the fun, but unexpectedly, someone asked her to make the decision by name, so she had no choice but to take responsibility.

When Yu Xinyao saw Madam Zheng walking towards her with her fat body twisted, she knew that Pei's dilemma was solved. Her plan to create some discord between the Dingguo Mansion and the Dali Temple was ruined.

"Your Highness, Third Princess, in my opinion, since there is someone who is restless and doing dirty things in broad daylight in the Princess's mansion, we must find her. In the future, we cannot let our young lady be with her, lest she learn bad things." After saying this, Mrs. Zheng rolled up her sleeves and wanted to catch the adulterer herself.

Not afraid of god-like opponents, but afraid of pig-like teammates.

What are you talking about?

Forget it, let it be. The process doesn’t matter, as long as the ending is what she wants.

She said in a deep voice, "Someone, open the door." As soon as the female official in charge opened the door, the noise coming from the room became louder and louder, which was simply unbearable to hear. The mother covered her daughter's ears, and the maid tried her best to drag her curious young lady behind the crowd.

However, as everyone listened, they felt something was wrong. "Why are there two men's voices?"

The third princess was also not calm at this time, because she was very familiar with the voice of one of the people at this time.

Upon hearing that there were two men and a woman, Madam Zheng cried out in anger, "This daughter of Duke Dingguo, Qiao Lili, is really a playboy. I'm afraid she has been having an affair with General Bai for a long time."

When everyone heard Madam Zheng say that she was the legitimate daughter of Duke Dingguo, and the maid at the door just now said that Qiao Lili came here to change clothes, they immediately understood about 80% of the situation.

Yu Xinyao said that the Sixth Prince is not in the capital, so who is Qiao Lili and?

"Yulan, Yalan, go and bring the person out." The two of them went in for a moment, then turned around and came out again. Their faces were as red as red cloth. "Princess, we can't separate them."

Yu Xinyao asked: "Who is in there?"

"Miss Qiao, the Second Prince, and, and..." Yalan and Yulan looked at each other, not daring to speak.

The third princess Yu Xinyao didn't want to care who the man was at this time. She and the eldest prince just wanted to prevent Yu Jingyan from marrying Qiao Lili, and let the second prince and Yu Jingyan fight each other, and they would just benefit.

When Madam Zheng heard that the Second Prince had succeeded, she thought that if the Second Prince married Qiao Lili, he would have the support of the Duke of Dingguo's Mansion. She rolled her eyes and decided to make this known to everyone. She wanted to make Qiao Lili lose her reputation and become a concubine in the Second Prince's Mansion.

So he shouted, "How can Qiao Lili, this little bitch, be so shameless?"

Yu Xinyao followed up with the question, "Are you sure that the person inside is Miss Qiao from the Duke Dingguo's Mansion?"

"Yes, yes." Yalan and Yulan said in unison.

At this time, a clear voice outside the courtyard answered: "Who are you and why are you insulting me?"

When the third princess heard the voice, her eyebrows raised and her eyes widened. The crowd made way for her and the person who walked in was Qiao Lili with two maids.

Yu Xinyao looked at Qiao Lili, then at the room with the door wide open and the sound of blushing heartbeats coming out continuously. Qiao Lili was here, so who was in the room? She gritted her teeth and looked at Yalan and Yulan.

Although Yalan and Yulan are the Third Princess' personal maids, they mostly accompany her when she goes out. The ridiculous things in the inner courtyard are handled by Lihua and Haitang. Just now, when they went in, they saw two men and one woman fighting fiercely. They didn't know where to look. They saw the faces of the two men clearly, but the woman's face was covered by her long hair. They just thought it was Qiao Lili and didn't go to confirm.

Madam Zheng pointed at Qiao Lili with her pig-trotter-like hand: "Qiao Lili, why are you here?"

Qiao Lili asked calmly: "I'm not here, where am I?"

Yu Xinyao didn't dare let Madam Zheng speak anymore, so she quickly stopped Madam Zheng and said to Qiao Lili, "Miss Qiao, are you okay?" Before she could finish her words, there was a loud bang, and the wall of the room facing them collapsed.

Three people appeared in front of them in a weird posture, right on the ground, not on the bed at all. Three people, completely indescribable.

At this moment, the three people on the ground were also startled by the sudden noise. They stopped their intense movements and looked up.

The people standing outside imprinted the expressions of the three faces, their postures and gestures in their minds, and they would probably never forget them for the rest of their lives.

I guessed one right and missed two.

I guessed the second prince, but I didn’t guess Bai Rouer and Su Xi.

Yu Xinyao’s eyes were bigger than copper bells.

Qiao Lili smiled unkindly. Aunt A Zi was such a wonderful person. If only the Second Prince and Bai Rouer were here today, then as long as Bai Rouer entered the Second Prince's backyard, everything would be fine. No one would lose anything. Instead, Bai Rouer and Bai Junzhe would get a great bargain.

But with the addition of Su Xi, everything becomes different.
