Chapter 188 Let’s Enter the Palace Together
After the dinner, the Queen specially kept Li Yujiao to stay.
Li Yujiao looked terrified: "Your Majesty, I am not sure why you left me here."
The queen's headdress was too heavy, so she kept her head propped up and looked very majestic: "It's okay, I just wanted to ask you, are you used to returning to the capital?"
Li Yujiao said: "I'm used to it."
"Is your husband used to it?" the queen asked again.
This is a cliché.
Li Yujiao said, "My husband goes to court every day, and I don't know what he is busy with. He never tells me about court affairs, but he comes home with a cheerful face every day. I guess he is used to it. Besides, he works for the court, so he has no say over whether he is used to it or not."
After hearing what Li Yujiao said, the queen knew that she was on guard and would not speak carelessly.
The queen winked at the maid next to her, who immediately took out a small wooden box from her side and handed it to Li Yujiao, saying, "This is a gift from the queen."
"My lady, how can I accept your reward?"
The Queen said, "This is our first meeting, so just keep it if you are asked to."
Li Yujiao had no choice but to take it, and pretended to be an inexperienced person, staring at the wooden box curiously.
The queen said with satisfaction: "I am tired, you should go back first."
Only then did Li Yujiao take her leave.
It was already dark outside, so Li Yujiao returned the same way.
Just as she left the palace, her sedan stopped and Aunt Zhang reminded her, "Madam, the master is here."
Jing Qishan!
The curtain of the sedan chair opened, and Li Yujiao saw Jing Qishan standing in the night.
A tall figure, a pair of eyes shining in the night.
When she saw him, she just felt aggrieved.
Then she walked out of the sedan chair.
Jing Qishan took a close look at her and saw that there was no expression on her face. He seemed to understand something and told Aunt Zhang: "You guys go back first. I'll take my wife for a walk around."
Li Yujiao asked, "Is this okay? Isn't it dangerous?"
Jing Qishan said: "The secret guards are following us, don't be afraid."
Only then did Li Yujiao feel relieved.
The two walked side by side in the night and soon arrived at the bustling street.
Seeing the bustling street, Li Yujiao breathed a long sigh of relief, as if she had finally returned to the world of the living.
"Husband, I'm hungry and want to eat something." Li Yujiao said.
Jing Qishan immediately pointed to a Qingfeng restaurant in front of them and said, "How about eating there? I heard the food there is delicious, but we have never been there."
"Okay!" As long as there is something to eat, it doesn't matter whether it tastes good or not.
Since Li Yujiao still wore the same attire she wore when she entered the palace, she looked like a noble lady. Seeing this, the waiter inside immediately asked, "Do you two have a private room?"
Jing Qishan said: "No, please make room for us."
The waiter was embarrassed: "But the private rooms upstairs are full."
Li Yujiao immediately said, "It's OK. You can set up a table for us in the hall."
The waiter quickly set up a table for them.
Jing Qishan said: "Please serve all your signature dishes."
"Okay, sir, please wait a moment."
There are only six signature dishes, sweet and sour pork elbow, eight-treasure duck, charcoal-roasted chicken, etc.
When the dishes came, Li Yujiao couldn't wait to start eating.
Seeing that she was eating in a hurry, Jing Qishan couldn't help but say, "Madam, eat slowly, no one is going to snatch the food from you."
Li Yujiao glared at him and continued eating.
She ate half of the dishes and drank a bowl of rice. Her stomach was full and she was finally satisfied.
Jing Qishan also accompanied her for dinner and paid the bill after they finished eating.
This is not the place to talk privately, there might be many eyes staring at them.
……
Li Yujiao was originally very angry, but after having a full meal and walking with Jing Qishan for a long time, her anger had completely disappeared.
When they got home and closed the door, Jing Qishan immediately picked her up.
"Madam, I have wronged you."
Li Yujiao said: "My situation is nothing, I only go out once in a while, but you have to go to court every day. I finally understand what it means to be with the emperor like a tiger. You have to be careful in everything you do, and you can't even have enough to eat."
Jing Qishan hugged her and asked, "What did the queen tell you?"
"Nothing, just gave me a box of jewelry."
"You don't like that kind of occasion, do you?"
"I don't like it, but I can't help it. After all, I am your wife."
Jing Qishan put his forehead against hers and said, "If you don't want to go in the future, then don't go."
"I can't stay at home all the time. Don't worry, I can handle it."
It's just a little frustrating.
Jing Qishan added: "I'm sorry for wronging you."
Li Yujiao felt that if she continued talking, she would be the one feeling guilty.
She sighed and said, "Let's not talk about these things. Husband and wife are one. You will get used to this kind of occasion after going there a few times. It's just a scene. No one is acting."
Jing Qishan hugged her for a long time again.
……
After the Mid-Autumn Festival, a message came from the mansion: Doctor Fang was coming to visit.
Hearing that it was Doctor Fang, Li Yujiao quickly invited him in.
After not seeing him for a few years, Doctor Fang still has the youthful look with white hair and a youthful face, his appearance has not changed at all.
"My dear Yujiao, long time no see." Doctor Fang seemed very happy to see Li Yujiao.
Li Yujiao was also very happy. Although she had only spent two days with Doctor Fang, she and him hit it off right away.
"Doctor Fang, you have traveled all over the world, and I finally see you."
Doctor Fang said, "Although I haven't seen you for a long time, I have heard a lot about you two. I know everything you two have done in the southwest. It is a blessing for Daqi to have you two in the southwest."
Although Doctor Fang is a doctor, he also cares about the country. He agreed to Song Haoyang to save Jing Qishan, firstly because Song Haoyang had saved him, and secondly because Song Haoyang said that Jing Qishan was a fierce general.
Li Yujiao asked him, "Why did Doctor Fang come to the capital this time?"
Doctor Fang smiled and said, "To be honest, I came back this time because your majesty asked me to check his body."
"Oh? What's wrong, Your Majesty?"
Li Yujiao had a bad feeling. After all, in the original book, the old emperor passed away before Jing Qishan returned to the capital, and the current queen would be the future empress dowager.
Doctor Fang said, "It's just some old age problems. Your Majesty is so busy that his health is getting worse day by day."
"Is there no imperial physician in the palace?"
"The imperial physicians in the palace keep prescribing the same few medicines. Your Majesty wants me to come to the palace to check it out, so I have to go to the palace tomorrow." Doctor Fang said.
Li Yujiao couldn't help but say, "You are going to enter the palace tomorrow, and you actually came to see us? It's really our honor."
Doctor Fang smiled and said, "If you are in the capital, I will definitely come to see you."
But Doctor Fang seemed to have remembered something. He looked at Li Yujiao for a few seconds and then said, "How about you come with me to the palace tomorrow? You are also a doctor."
Li Yujiao couldn't help but be surprised: "Me?"
