Noble Lady Jing Zhao

Chapter 272 The Qi family gives gifts
Ye Jingzhao looked at his parents and said calmly.

Mrs. Ye San, Mrs. Jiang and Mr. Ye San were both stunned when they heard this.

"Why did Jing Zhao say that?"

Jiang looked at her daughter, her eyes full of suspicion.

"Mom, after all, my grandmother is no longer as old as she used to be, and the third sister's marriage, after all, is still a bit degrading, and it might happen."

Ye Jingzhao spoke his thoughts calmly.

Yes, everyone understands it after all.

But no one brought it up.

This marriage is not honorable after all.

No one in Kyoto knew about it at the moment, and the Qi family and the Ye family kept the matter a secret.

But in the future, Ye Jingyun will live in the Qi family after all.

There are no airtight walls in this world.

If one day, the matter is spread.

If it is revealed, the two families will be discussed for a while.

Early the next morning, a decree came from the palace.

The Queen wants to see her.

This was the first time Ye Jingzhao went to see his eldest sister Ye Jingzhen after she became the queen.

She specially dressed up carefully.

Wait until you reach the middle palace.

Ye Jingzhao entered the middle palace and saw his eldest sister sitting on the phoenix couch.

The months are getting bigger now.

The whole person also looked a little swollen.

Ye Jingzhao stepped forward and bowed respectfully.

Ye Jingzhen wanted to help him personally, but his body didn't allow it.

I can only smile helplessly.

After receiving Ye Jingzhao's full salute, she waved to her fourth sister and said with a smile, "Fourth sister, come to me quickly."

Ye Jingzhao smiled and stepped forward carefully.

"I haven't seen you for a few days. The fourth sister is getting more and more aggressive as she looks at her."

Ye Jingzhen smiled and looked up and down at this little girl who had been following him since childhood.

Suddenly, I still look like a child.

"The queen, she looks great now."

She has never called her eldest sister again. Now that her status is different, what are the rules?

No better than before.

Ye Jingzhen was stunned.

He sighed, "Hey, after all, I am no longer as free as before."

When she was the Crown Princess, although she lived in the East Palace, in the end, everything was decided by her.

How can it be compared with the past now?

"Your Majesty, did the doctor tell you your due date?"

Ye Jingzhao did not continue the sad topic, but looked at the queen's bulging belly, his eyes full of caution.

Ye Jingzhen lowered her eyes and reached out to touch her bulging abdomen.

He sighed, "The days go by so fast. The imperial doctor said that March of next spring will be the time for all things to revive. This child will be born."

"It's a good day."

Ye Jingzhao echoed.

Gong E served tea, and Queen Ye Jingzhen ordered everyone to leave.

Wait for Gong'e to close the palace door.

The smile on Ye Jingzhen's lips fell instantly.

His eyes were full of dissatisfaction, "Fourth sister, I heard that the third sister married into the Qi family and became Young Master Qi's secret wife?"

Uncle Chengen's Mansion kept this matter secret from the outside world.

Madam Liang never even mentioned it to her daughter who was the queen.

Since her daughter was pregnant, she didn't dare to take any risks. If something went wrong, it would be really unacceptable.

After the emperor found out, he also didn't want the queen to worry.

Therefore, even the palace officials who knew about it kept it secret from the queen.

Just yesterday, someone from the Qi family came with a thank-you gift.

The queen then found out about this and quickly summoned Ye Jingzhao into the palace for questioning. How could she want to meet everyone in Uncle Chengen's residence right now?

"My Majesty, this matter is my grandmother's wish, and the third sister has agreed to it. The matter is a foregone conclusion, and I don't need to worry about it anymore."

Ye Jingzhao was afraid that his eldest sister would have fetal contractions because of this incident.

He quickly advised, "Mother, everyone has their own destiny. The most important thing for me right now is to put all your thoughts on yourself."

"Now that the empress is the queen of the middle palace, she is not as good as when she was the crown princess in the past."

During the time when the new emperor ascended the throne, Ye Jingzhao had heard many things.

Officials of the previous dynasty lobbied the new emperor all day long to fill the harem and let the emperor's heirs flourish.

But the new emperor is focused on the queen and is not willing to compromise easily.

I heard that there was a long quarrel about this matter a few days ago.

How could Ye Jingzhen not know that she was not that intolerant of others.

Because of his heavy body, he also stuffed the emperor with some beauties.

But the emperor lost his temper with her a lot because of this matter.

"Hey……"

Ye Jingzhen sighed heavily.

"Eldest sister, right now, your belly is the most important. As for the rest of the world or Uncle Chengen's house, eldest sister should not be distracted anymore."

Ye Jingzhao gently patted the back of his eldest sister's hand.

He advised with earnest words.

When leaving the palace, Ye Jingzhen ordered her to send some rewards to Ye Jingyun.

Therefore, Ye Jingzhao's carriage arrived directly at Qi's house.

The Qi family saw the fourth lady from the third room of Uncle Cheng'en's residence, and they quickly went in to communicate.

Not long after, the mother-in-law came to greet her in person.

"Miss Ye Si, our old lady invites you to come and speak."

Ye Jingzhao nodded slightly and followed the old lady to Mrs. Qi's yard.

The Qi family's mansion is also quite famous in Kyoto.

Mrs. Qi's natal family used to be a merchant. After marrying Mr. Qi, she was said to have brought a lot of dowry with her.

Therefore, most of the Qi family's wealth comes from Mrs. Qi's dowry.

"Good morning, Mrs. Qi."

Entering the main room, Ye Jingzhao saw Mrs. Qi, who was wearing a dark purple moiré dress, sitting on the main seat.

The whole person looked like he was in his early fifties.

But in fact, Mrs. Qi is already sixty.

"Miss Ye Si, please sit down and talk quickly. It's rare for you to come here."

Mrs. Qi pointed to the soft chair beside her and ordered people to serve refreshments.

"Why do you have time to come here today?"

Ye Jingzhao smiled slightly and replied, "The Queen summoned me to the palace today. I heard that the third sister had married into the Qi family, and she specially ordered me to come and make up for the congratulatory gift for the third sister."

Ye Jingzhao's eyes fell on the box in the hand of the maid behind him.

Mrs. Qi understood.

Since she has received the Queen's will, it is naturally difficult for her to stop her.

Without saying a few words, he asked someone to take Ye Jingzhao to see his youngest daughter-in-law, Ye Jingyun.

Along the way, I looked at the prosperity of the Qi family.

Ye Jingzhao couldn't help but sigh that the Qi family was wealthy.

But the farther back you go, the more desolate the courtyard becomes.

She couldn't help but feel suspicious, and casually inquired with the grandma who was leading the way, "Mammy, where does my third sister live in the Qi family?"

The smile on the grandma's face was a little strange.

He hesitated, unable to speak directly, so he just evaded and said, "Go back to Miss Ye Si, we will be there soon."

"It's just ahead."

As if she was afraid that Ye Jingzhao would ask further questions, the steps under her feet became faster and faster.

This made the suspicion in Ye Jingzhao's heart become heavier and heavier.

The further back you go, the more desolate it becomes.

There was no need to ask, she could guess that the third sister's courtyard was probably here.

When they reached a place and looked at the rather deserted courtyard, the nanny stopped, pointed at the house, and said, "Miss Ye Si, we're here."

Ye Jingzhao nodded and motioned for the nanny to continue leading the way.

But the nanny refused to go any further, "Miss Ye Si, I still have something important to do, so I won't send you there. I'll pick you up again in half an hour."
