"There's news from the capital that Lu Yunzheng is very much favored by the Queen Mother. It seems that the Lu family has chosen the Queen Mother as their backer."
Zhao Ziyu is tall and although his face is thin, he has sharp features and an air of nobility, and he has a strong innate sense of oppression.
After he said that, Liu Qiaoer felt a little depressed.
If the Queen Mother is the Lu family's backer, then that would mean she is an enemy of Zhao Ziyu.
Ever since Liu Qiaoer found out that Zhao Ziyu had been poisoned since birth and his mother was poisoned to death, Zhao Ziyu has asked someone to investigate what happened.
The late emperor's most beloved concubine and her biggest enemy is the current empress dowager.
If Liu Qiaoer stayed with Zhao Ziyu all the time, it would actually be equivalent to being in opposition to Lu Yunzheng.
"Lu Yunzheng didn't rely on the Lu family willingly. The Lu family in Beijing is a century-old family, and sometimes they will force people to do things they don't like."
Zhao Ziyu chuckled. Being smart, he quickly understood the meaning of Liu Qiaoer's words.
"Yes, if a century-old family is uprooted, the capital will be flooded with blood."
Liu Qiaoer picked up the tea on the table and drank it all in one gulp.
"I am just a passer-by. Sir, you don't need to care about my feelings when you want to do something. As for me, I have only one wish in this world, to eat and wait for death."
"Hahaha..." Zhao Ziyu laughed heartily and praised, "You are the only woman I have ever seen who lives so clearly. I hope you will never be trapped by love in your life."
Xiaoliu finished practicing Kung Fu. Just as Hong Yuan was about to wipe his sweat off, he dodged backwards, snatched Hong Yuan's handkerchief, and ran to Liu Qiaoer.
He raised his little face eagerly and handed the handkerchief to Liu Qiaoer.
Liu Qiaoer smiled, carefully wiped Xiaoliu's sweat off his face, and kept praising him.
"Our Xiaoliu is the best. Today he stabbed more steadily than yesterday. When our Xiaoliu has mastered the unique martial arts, I will let Xiaoliu protect me, okay?"
Xiaoliu's eyes were bright and clear, and he nodded frantically. He looked so cute that Liu Qiaoer couldn't help but kiss him.
Xiaoliu's face turned red, and she stammered, "Protect my sister... forever."
Xiaoliu, who had never liked to talk since childhood, actually spoke, which surprised Zhao Ziyu.
Hong Yuan was so excited that her eyes turned red.
"Girl, the Sixth Young Master can speak now."
On the contrary, Liu Qiao'er did not find it strange: "If he can hear, of course he can speak. The reason why he was reluctant to speak before was because you had already said everything, and he only needed to nod or shake his head."
In fact, Xiaoliu could utter two or three words simply a few days ago.
With Liu Qiaoer's encouragement and praise, he spoke more and more. A three-year-old child should be talkative and lively.
But there were only adults around him, no children, and gradually, he had nothing to say.
Being able to speak is the beginning of things getting better.
Zhao Ziyu was also pleased to see Xiaoliu relying so much on Liu Qiaoer.
"Okay, let's go to the opera tomorrow, and seven days later, we'll prepare to go to Beijing."
Liu Qiaoer took Xiaoliu back to the room to rest.
Zhao Ziyu waved and Bai Chao ran over. He saw Zhao Ziyu standing in the pavilion with one hand behind her back, looking into the distance with a distant look in her eyes.
"It's time for us to go back to the capital. Since the Lu family can produce a brilliant Lu Yunzheng, we can also produce a miracle doctor."
"Pass the order down and tell them that Medicine King Valley has found a miracle doctor who has cured Prince Yi's illness, and Prince Yi welcomes the miracle doctor as a guest of honor."
Bai Chao immediately understood what Zhao Ziyu meant: "Master, do you want to use Miss Liu to stir up trouble in the capital?"
The capital city was originally a pool of muddy water, and he wanted to stir up the muddy water and fish in it.
He must avenge his mother, and he should also take back his things.
Compared to Liu Qiaoer's high-profile return to Beijing, Lu Yunxi, who was staying at the Lu family in the capital, was not as happy as imagined.
After something happened at home, Lu Yunxi became much more sensible and gradually lost her girlish liveliness. Since moving into the Lu family, she has become more and more cautious.
Early in the morning, Lu Yunxi, with the help of Xia Ying, packed her things and went to Qingyi Garden for class.
This courtyard was provided by the Lu family for the girls to study and learn various skills.
We hired female teachers who could teach embroidery, music, chess, calligraphy, painting, and various etiquette.
There are quite a few women in the Lu family, including the main wife and seven or eight concubines. Only Lu Yunxi is a guest, which means she is the most concubine possible.
As soon as I entered the yard, I heard a cold voice.
"Hey, look, the country bumpkin is here. Today we're talking about Qin. I wonder if she'll make a fool of herself and slow down our progress."
"She is a country girl who has learned nothing. Of course she will be delayed. We should let her practice alone in the yard. Otherwise, if others find out, it will be a disgrace to our Lu family."
Lu Yunxi is eight years old this year. Before the accident at home that year, she had always lived in doting. Madam Lu also taught her music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and taught her to read and write, which was her enlightenment.
However, studying was too hard and she often found various excuses to avoid it.
Mrs. Lu doted on her, always thinking that since she was young, there was no need to push her so hard, and that she could learn slowly when she grew up.
But now, when Lu Yunxi arrived at the Lu family, he found that most of the girls in the Lu family started their enlightenment at the age of three or four, and were good at playing the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.
When she was seven or eight years old, she could perform music in public.
At most, people will say that your skills are not good enough.
There has never been anyone like Lu Yunxi who can't sing in tune.
The youngest girl in the Lu family is only five years old, but she can play the music skillfully. Her hand strength is not good enough, but she still plays well.
Therefore, the teachers of the Lu family disliked that Lu Yunxi started to learn late.
Lu Yunxi touched his broken fingers and felt very aggrieved.
"I've practiced hard."
The third sister of the Lu family was known for her gentleness. She came up and grabbed Lu Yunxi, and scolded the other sisters.
"Well, Yunxi is just a concubine's daughter, born to my aunt. She is the only one in our family. My mother is kind and treats the sisters born to my aunt well. Other ignorant women would not care about their life or death."
His words hinted to everyone that Madam Lu was harsh on her concubine's daughter.
Lu Yunxi recognized the voice-over of the third sister of the Lu family and quickly explained: "No, my mother is also very good to me..."
The fourth sister of the Lu family chuckled, "What do you know at such a young age? She just dotes on you but doesn't teach you anything. Is that good? That's flattery. Do you understand?"
The third sister of the Lu family added, "When you grow up and want to get engaged, your husband's family will laugh at you if you don't know anything when they ask you questions."
Lu Yunxi was a little confused. She was young and Madam Lu doted on her. If it was really a case of flattery, it seemed like this.
Seeing her young lady being fooled by someone about the relationship between Madam Lu and Lu Yunxi, Xia Ying stamped her feet anxiously and couldn't help but explain: "No, Madam just saw that the young lady was young..."
Unexpectedly, before Xia Ying could finish her words, the fourth lady of the Lu family slapped her in the face with a "slap".
"What? The masters are talking, why should a servant interrupt? This is how Madam Lu disciplines her servants. It's really unruly."
Xia Ying covered her face, feeling aggrieved but not daring to say a word.
She regretted it. She had already escaped from slavery, but she stayed in the Lu family for the sake of the eldest son. Now she was looked down upon by the Lu family's direct descendants. It was all her own fault.
