Splendid Book

Chapter 75
Qiao Yun stood on the spot trembling all over, her clothes were soaked through, and the early autumn breeze blew by, making her tremble from the cold.

She is finished.

When this thought came up in her mind, she looked around blankly, what about her cousin, it doesn't mean that her cousin will wait here.With her hands beside her, she couldn't help but grab the corner of her clothes, but her whole body was dripping.There is already a circle of water stains around the feet, and even the hair is constantly rolling down the water.

"Girl, are you okay?" Qiao Yun's maid rushed up at this moment, seeing her girl in such a mess, she was panicked and at a loss for a while.

When Ji Ting came over, she saw Qiao Yun surrounded by everyone, but now she looked really messed up, drenched all over, and even her usual chic bun was messy.He was surprised and said, "cousin, what's the matter?"

"I, I..." Seeing that it was him, Qiao Yun was even more embarrassed, with tears in her eyes, looking at a loss for what to do for a moment.

"Girl, let's go back and change our clothes first," Qiao Yun's servant girl came to her senses after a while. Fortunately, it was the Ninth Prince who came over. If it was someone else, wouldn't the girl's reputation be ruined again.

On the other side was a drenched man, and his companion asked with concern, "You Feng, are you alright?"

It was only now that Ji Ting noticed him, and when he saw that this man was also soaked, he was taken aback, and asked casually, "What's going on?"

"I've met the Ninth Prince," the two men knew Ji Ting, so they didn't care about this meeting, and immediately came forward to greet him.

Ji Ting looked the two people up and down, especially the man whose clothes were soaked through.Among the people present, only he and Qiao Yun were in a mess, and they could roughly guess the reason without asking.Seeing that Qiao Yun's maid was still standing there foolishly, Ji Ting immediately waved his hand, and ordered: "What are you doing in a daze, why don't you send cousin back to the wing room to change clothes, lest you catch a cold."

When Qiao Yun was about to leave, Feng Youfeng turned around suddenly, saluted her, and said softly: "This girl, Feng Mou didn't mean to offend, it's just that the situation is urgent at that time, and I hope the girl will be happy."

Qiao Yun was ashamed and angry, trembling all over, but couldn't say a word.Fortunately, the two servant girls next to her supported her, so she didn't fall to the ground.The servant girl didn't dare to delay any longer, and hurriedly supported her to leave.

It was early autumn, the sun above the head was only emitting warm sunshine, but the wind on the mountain was already strong, and the clothes on his body were soaked, even a strong man like Feng Youfeng couldn't stand it.It's just that the Ninth Prince is right in front of him, he has nothing to say to let himself go, who dares to be disrespectful.

"It was you who saved my cousin?" Ji Ting looked at him, with a hint of unkindness in his mouth.

Feng Youfeng smiled wryly, and immediately replied, "Ninth Prince, please forgive me. I didn't know she was your cousin. It was just that the situation was urgent. This girl fell into the water and there was no one to rescue her. So I can only..."

It's just that he didn't continue to speak, after all, if he continued, it would be like adding glory to his face.So Feng Youfeng only spoke halfway, then stopped.As for his companions, they are very close to him, and today they are also here for an appointment. After all, the party held at Fahui Temple was quite grand, so the two of them came together.

Now that he encountered such a thing, he couldn't help but speak for Feng Youfeng: "Ninth Prince, the situation was really urgent just now, that girl fell into the water and kept calling for help, Brother Feng was only doing it to save someone."

No one present was a fool. To pick up a drenched girl from the water in public was not something that could be fooled simply by saying that the situation was urgent.After all, the reputation of the girl's family is too high, even if it is to save others, I'm afraid Feng Youfeng should give an explanation to the girl.

Ji Ting glanced at them, sneered, and said: "This matter is not something you and I can solve, go back and change your clothes."

The two dared to leave only after receiving Ji Ting's order.It's just that Ji Ting stood where he was, watching them gradually walk away.And the little eunuch beside him couldn't help but said: "Your Highness, how can you let him go so easily, if this gets out, it will be bad for Ms. Qiao's reputation, right?"

"There are so many pairs of eyes watching, you think you can hide it," Ji Ting smiled slightly, and he didn't want to help Qiao Yun hide it either.

Of course, he knew Qiao Yun's thoughts clearly.For so many years, the Qiao family regarded the seventh brother's position as the concubine's concubine as something in their pockets, and even the concubine mother was a little bit of a fan.But Ji Ting knew that Seventh Brother didn't care about her at all, he only thought of her as his cousin.Ji Ting was just indifferent to Qiao Yun, and he also felt that Qiao Yun was not good enough for Seventh Brother.

"Now that I've been rescued, I can only say that my cousin's destiny has come," Ji Ting said indifferently.

Seeing his attitude, the little eunuch naturally didn't dare to speak again.

As Feng Youfeng walked back with his companions, he said helplessly: "I need to trouble you to find a set of clothes for me, it's really not easy to go out with this appearance."

Naturally, men don't have to bring a spare set of clothes when they go out like women.It was really embarrassing for the two of them to come up to the mountain immediately.Fortunately, his companion smiled and said, "Let me ask the monks in the monastery for you to see if they have any clothes for you to put on first?"

"Brother Yuntai is really troublesome," Feng Youfeng said with some embarrassment.

His companion patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile, "I haven't congratulated you yet."

Feng Youfeng was taken aback, and asked with a wry smile: "Look at me in such a mess, how can I say congratulations?"

"Isn't your family looking after your marriage? Didn't this daughter-in-law fall from the sky now?" His companion winked at him, his tone was funny but not lacking in seriousness.

Feng Youfeng was startled again, but soon he came back to his senses, with a shocked expression, he waved his hands again and again and said: "Yuntai, don't make fun of me, this is just a helpless act to save people. If you In this way, am I not repaying favors?"

Seeing how serious he was, the companion couldn't help explaining: "I told you, don't hold it up. Just now, the girl was carried up wet by you, and the girl's reputation will be ruined. If you don't take the initiative, Could it be that you are still waiting for a girl to come to your house to propose marriage?"

It's not that Feng Youfeng didn't know this, but he was a little hesitant, "I don't know which girl is from which family, what if the family already has a marriage contract?"

"It's not easy. You didn't see that the Ninth Prince called the girl cousin just now. I guess it should be a girl from the Yongshun Mansion. Seeing that the age is about 15 years old, there are only a few girls in the Yongshun Mansion. There may only be one or two of them," the companion patted Feng Youfeng's shoulder again, showing an envious expression.

He said in a low voice: "The current momentum of Uncle Yongshun's mansion is rising. There are concubines and concubines inside, and General Qiao Yuqiao outside. I heard that General Qiao won another battle this time, and the emperor decided to let him return to the court." , to be rewarded for meritorious deeds."

Feng Youfeng is also a man of martial arts, how could he not have heard of this General Qiao Yuqiao, since he killed the Tatars who entered the frontier for looting in one fell swoop two years ago, now he has beaten people big and small Many victories, but the most eye-catching generals in recent years.

So when his companion said this, Feng Youfeng's heart was naturally moved.It seems that after going back, I really have to discuss it with my mother.

Just now he looked at the panicked woman in his arms, although both of them were embarrassed, but her delicate and beautiful appearance still fell in his eyes, she was indeed a beauty.Now that I think about it again, isn't this a good marriage that fell from the sky.Thinking of this, Feng Youfeng wished he could change his clothes immediately and go home.

As for Shen Changle on the bell tower, her expression was still shocked at this time, she stared at Ji Yu, as if she wanted to find a negative answer from his face.

But the two of them were standing one behind the other, and with Ji Yu sticking behind her, she didn't take a second look, but felt her neck hurt badly.Seeing the little changes in her expression, Ji Yu felt it was funny, and felt that she was really stubborn.So she stretched out her hand to straighten her, and both of them looked at the green hill in front of them, and Ji Yu's voice with a slight smile whispered in her ear: "If you really want to see me that much, just turn around."

Being interrupted by him like this, Shen Changle almost forgot the business.

Until she remembered and asked, "What do they have to do with me?"

He said that he would never let anyone who hurt her go.But who are those two people?
"Your carriage had an accident two years ago, it wasn't an accident," Ji Yu's soft voice sounded in her ears, but this time it brought shock instead of throbbing.

Shen Changle's whole body froze, and the pain seemed to return to his body in an instant.In that snowy day two years ago, when she was sitting in the carriage, the horse pulling the carriage suddenly lost control and the entire carriage overturned. If she hadn't grabbed the edge of the window before the carriage overturned, she might have died on the spot.

So, that was no accident?

"That matter has something to do with Qiao Yun," Ji Yu was a little embarrassed to say, he has always been a righteous person, and he always goes forward in everything he does.Even his uncle said that he had a calm and self-possessed face, but there was a bit of impatience in his temper.

If he hadn't reprimanded Qiao Yun directly in front of his mother and concubine, letting her discover her thoughts on Changle, the carriage incident would never have happened.

Shen Changle only felt that her head was swollen, but in fact she was only here to offer incense, to petition on behalf of Shen Jin.But how did you hear such an unbelievable thing?
"So you are for me..." She didn't know what to say.

"That's right, I did the right thing for you, my concubine mother, and the Qiao family," Ji Yu said in a low voice, even though he said he didn't care, Shen Changle still felt a little heavy in his heart.For some reason, she suddenly felt a little sad.

Because she suddenly remembered something from her previous life, when she had just entered the palace, he had arranged for her to be the lord of the first palace.A woman who was once married was welcomed into the palace by the emperor, and was even made the head of the first palace. Not only the officials in the court were shocked, but even the Ji family objected endlessly.He was not an orthodox successor to the throne, but he made such a deviant move, and the empress dowager was also furious.

It's just that in front of him, the Empress Dowager treats her fairly generously, but as long as he is not around, the palace people around the Empress Dowager can ridicule her.

She even "accidentally" broke the teacup in the Empress Dowager's palace, and was punished to kneel in the Buddhist hall in the apse for two full hours.In the end, he was the one who arrived and carried her out of that cold and gloomy place.

In fact, he has always been very kind to her, but her heart was already numb at that time.She actually felt that he accepted her into the palace just to make a bet with the court officials.

She is so stupid.

Seeing that she was in a daze, Ji Yu remained silent.But when she turned around sharply, the tip of her nose brushed against his chest, tears streaming down the corners of her eyes.Ji Yu was stunned, just as she stretched out her hand, she grabbed it.

"You, don't be so nice to me," Shen Changle didn't know why he said such words, but this was what came out of his mouth.

But after she finished speaking, she regretted it herself.She raised her head to look at Ji Yu cautiously, seeing his brows furrowed tightly, she felt even more regretful in her heart.She thought and thought, and finally made up her mind and said, "I'm afraid I'm not good enough for you."

At least not as good as you are to me. You have been protecting me all these years, but I have never done anything to you.

"Fool, men are born to protect their own women," Ji Yu bowed her head, the 17-year-old boy was proud and at ease, it turned out that she was worried about this, she was really as stupid as when she was a child.

My own woman, Shen Changle was so shocked that he couldn't even utter a rebuttal.

"Okay, it's time for us to go down. You go back to find your cousin, and I should also go to Jiudi." Ji Yu smiled slightly, and took her hand again.

Shen Changle nodded obediently, and was led by him to the stairs, but when she reached the stairs, she suddenly remembered that she didn't seem to refute yet.

"Your cousin didn't go with you, why did she fall into the water, and how did you take care of Yuner?" After hearing that Qiao Yun fell into the water and was rescued by the second son of the Marquis of Changping, Concubine De couldn't help feeling angry. Facing Ji Yu, he became angry.

She was so angry that even Ji Ting next to him felt wronged for him. Ji Ting couldn't help but argue: "Mother, my cousin is a woman after all, how can she stay with us all day. Besides, my cousin was with the maid at that time. One piece, who would have thought that she would accidentally fall into the water."

Of course Concubine De was angry, Qiao Yun was the concubine she had prepared for Ji Yu, and she had never felt that there would be any accidents over the years.Originally, she planned to ask the emperor to refer Qiao Yun to Zi Jiyu when she was drafted next year, but who would have thought that something like this happened to Qiao Yun now.

The reason why she was so angry was because she knew that if something like this happened to Qiao Yun, it would be impossible for her to become the prince and concubine again.

But after Ji Ting said this, Concubine De realized that her attitude had gone too far.But at this moment, she was on the verge of anger, so naturally she wouldn't give Ji Yu a good look, so she waved her hand and said, "You two are tired after a day outside, go back and rest."

When the two brothers arrived at the door, Ji Ting comforted in a low voice: "Seventh brother, don't be angry, the concubine mother is just too worried about my cousin."

Yes, a niece is more important than a son, so naturally he won't be angry.

Ji Yu, who has long been accustomed to it, shook his head and said softly: "Ninth brother, you worry too much, how could I be angry with my mother and concubine?"

Of course he would not be angry with his mother and concubine, because the one who will suffer in the end will only be someone else.

That night, the elders of Qiao's family, who were already angry because Qiao Yun fell into the water and was rescued by Feng Youfeng, suddenly got the news that the second son of Changping Hou was about to become a father.
