Chapter 74
Time flies, half a month has passed.

Yu Chiqing followed Yuchi Zhuoqing's carriage to the palace.

During the Hundred Flowers Banquet, at noon, the female relatives mainly enjoyed tea and flowers with the dignitaries and wives in the back garden, while the men discussed state affairs in the emperor's imperial study.

When Yu Chiqing and her maid Ziyue came to the garden, the Empress Dowager was opposing a woman reciting poems.

The woman was about sixteen years old, tall and slender, with a plump figure, dignified and elegant in speech and deeds, black hair like lacquer, skin like jade, beautiful eyes looking forward, revealing an indescribable charm between frowns and smiles.

Like a budding peony flower in the garden, it is gorgeous and not vulgar.

Yuchi Qing pursed her lips, stepped forward and knelt down, "Imperial Grandmother is well."

Seeing that she was looking forward to the stars and the moon, the empress dowager's smiling old face and wrinkles could kill a fly.

She got up and supported Wei Chi Qing's arm, "Qing'er, I finally came to see the imperial grandmother, come, let the imperial grandmother see how she looks."

Yu Chiqing raised her head obediently, her cheeks were as rosy as usual, and she looked energetic in her fiery red skirt.

"Okay, that accident surprised Qing'er."

The Empress Dowager touched Yu Chiqing's head lovingly, feeling distressed.

"Imperial Grandmother, it's over, it's just an accident." Yu Chiqing obediently got up and stood aside.

The empress dowager sighed, although her eyes were cloudy, her heart was clearer.

This is probably not a simple accident.

Turning her eyes to see the girl who was talking to her just now, the Empress Dowager took Yu Chiqing's hand and introduced her to her.

"Qing'er, this is Si You, the daughter-in-law of the Taifu's family, what do you think?"

Si You smiled shyly, her voice was as melodious as an oriole's cry out of the valley, "I've heard the name of the Nine Princesses for a long time, but when I saw them today, they were so beautiful that it was unreal. It was Si You's fault that I couldn't participate in the princess and Ji ceremony."

What do you mean by not being able to participate? It's really your fault. A little daughter-in-law can represent the entire Taifu's mansion. Besides, Jiji invited all the daughters of officials above the third rank. If you don't come, you just don't let her princess go. It's just in my eyes, I really don't know what my intention is when I say these things in such a high-sounding manner.

If she replied inadvertently, she might lose the reputation of a brainless princess.

Yu Chiqing secretly clenched her fists.

After a while, Yu Chiqing blinked her big clear eyes with her head tilted, and said simply, "It could be Si You's sister, but Qing'er is an unfavored princess, she just has the title of princess."

It looked innocent and harmless, but when it came into contact with those eyes, Si You broke out in cold sweat and took a step back.

She always felt that something was wrong.

"Qing'er." Seeing that Si You's complexion was not good, the Empress Dowager said displeasedly in her dress.

After all, the other party is the daughter of the Taifu, and...

"You're so naughty. After today, Qing'er will probably call Si You the emperor's aunt."

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked. Not only Yu Chiqing and Si You, but also all the ministers who had just come with the emperor were the same.

"Mother concubine?" Yu Chilin shouted.

"We're all here. It's getting late. Let's move to the hall where the banquet is being held." The Empress Dowager spoke and was the first to leave, supported by her nanny.

The daughters of some aristocratic families discussed for a while, and seeing that there were fewer and fewer people, they all followed suit.

"Uh, Princess Nine, all these people have left, and Si You has also gone ahead."

The people around dispersed, leaving only Yu Chiqing and Si You.

Si You couldn't bear to be excited by what the queen mother said just now, and wanted to hurry to the banquet hall.
