In the third year of Guangxi, on March 3rd, the Shangsi Festival, Yu Qingjia followed all the sisters of the Yu family to wash dust by the water in the suburbs of the city. All the ladies gathered together and couldn't help talking about all kinds of gossip.
"I heard that the north is uneasy these days. There was a heavy snowfall at the end of the year, and many cattle and sheep in Rouran froze to death. Since February, the cavalry in Rouran have always harassed the border."
A woman sat by the water and said casually. Although they are women in the boudoir, their father and brother are both officials in the court, and the nonsense that women are incapable of virtue is not popular nowadays, so women from aristocratic families do not reject political affairs, and they can also answer a few words when talking about important court affairs.
Another sister of the Yu family was not surprised, and said: "Isn't Rouran always like this? Chao Zhongguang stares at Zhao Guo and Nan Chao, and has no energy to pursue the north, so Rouran often robs and runs away, and the court can't do anything to them Sample."
The lady who spoke at the beginning pursed her lips and said, "You don't know that. If it's just Rouran's harassment, then there's nothing to say, but this time it hit the iron plate. I don't know where in the Six Towns there is a The team has repelled the Rouran people, and also snatched a lot of Rouran's territory."
The other women were puzzled: "This is a good thing."
"How can it be so simple, this army of unknown origin repelled Rouran, the court was surprised, and sent someone to summon the other party's coach to speak, but this army turned the court officials away. Moreover, they gradually moved south, and the other I don't know."
The ladies let out a small exclamation, and whispered to each other: "Isn't this a rebel army?"
"That's right." The lady who was speaking bent over to splash the water, and the water splashed in the middle of the lake with a splashing sound. She said: "It's really an eventful year. Last fall, Zhao Guo had troubles. Up to now, the battle in the west has not been finished. Now other forces have risen in the north. Alas, it's hard to say what will happen next."
"What's the matter?" A woman sitting next to her didn't care. "It's just a mob. The imperial court can always suppress the rebels."
When these women were talking about the situation in the court, Yu Qingjia sat aside and listened quietly. She couldn't help laughing when the woman called the Sixth Town Army a "rabble".
Seeing Yu Qingjia shaking her head and chuckling, Bai Zhi asked suspiciously, "My lady, what are you laughing at?"
"It's nothing." Yu Qingjia said casually, "It's just that it's weird to hear that someone from the sixth town is treating the army from the six towns as peasant soldiers."
That's all for other places, but that's the six towns, where every family has been in the army for generations, and every family can mount a horse to fight. It's no different from the place where the Qi and Zhao dynasties made their fortunes. A rebellion in this place is a trivial matter. If the emperor still doesn't care, it's time to change the dynasty.
Although the multi-front war between North Korea and China is really not a good situation, the daughter of the aristocratic family is still casual when talking about this matter, her tone is like chatting. In times of war, uprisings and rebellions were too common, and dynasties were changed at every turn. However, the people on the Dragon Throne changed, and there must be someone to rule the world. The aristocratic family monopolized political resources and promotion channels, and more than 80% of the people in the officialdom were related. No matter who the emperor is, he has to rely on these people to convey government orders and govern the world. No wonder the powerful family treats the emperor so contemptuously.
The girls talked for a while, but the topic inevitably turned to other directions. A woman said enthusiastically: "It is said that heroes come out of troubled times. Although rebels have risen in the north, there are also a few talents. Recently, there is a young general in Yecheng who is very popular. I heard that he was originally from Youzhou, but his father He died early, and his uncle was in his prime, so he was squeezed out and had no choice but to find a way out by himself, and went to Yecheng to submit a certificate of merit."
Yu Qingjia stood up and was about to leave when she froze when she heard these words. She turned around and asked, "What's his name?"
The woman who spoke was taken aback by Yu Qingjia's eager tone. She thought for a while and said, "I don't know, I vaguely remember his surname is Zhao, and his name seems to be Ting..."
Yu Qingjia's eyes widened unconsciously. The family is a military general, but his father died early when he was stationed at the border. He was persecuted by his uncle and had to leave his hometown. Every step and every step is like a vixen. Moreover, the timing of his appearance was also very coincidental. Last year, this person suddenly emerged in Yecheng, and the vixen left just last autumn.
Could it be that he is a vixen?
The woman knocked her head, looking very distressed: "I still remember it before, why can't I remember it all at once, Zhao Heting is here..."
"Jing Ting." A person came out from the nearby bushes, she had a strange expression on her face, and said, "His name is Zhao Jingting."
After news of the marriage contract between Yu Qingya and King Guangping came out, not only the Yu family was in turmoil, but other aristocratic families were also puzzled. People who usually walked around with the big house automatically set a clear distance. Even when Yu Qingya's wedding was approaching, not many people added makeup to Yu Qingya and gave her blessings.
As soon as Yu Qingya appeared, the bustling water was instantly cleared up. The woman who mentioned Zhao Jingting turned her head away and reluctantly responded: "So his name is Zhao Jingting, and it turns out that Si Niang is well-informed, and even knows about this kind of thing."
It's hard to say whether this sentence is a compliment or a sarcasm. After the other party finished speaking, he made a haha and turned away. Yu Qingjia said the name silently, Zhao Jingting. So, his surname is Zhao?
Yu Qingya's face was livid, and when everyone had left, she looked at Yu Qingjia and sarcastically said, "Sixth Sister has a dignified posture, and she speaks honestly to the gentlemen of the family, why are you asking about a foreigner now?"
Yu Qingjia was famous for her beauty in the past, but now that her appearance is getting better and better, the reputation of "Poppy Poppy" is spreading more and more widely. Taking advantage of the name of the outing on the Shangsi Festival, many gentlemen have come to see Yu Qingjia under various pretexts. Although Yu Qingjia smiled, she kept a distance from everyone, easy-going but alienated. The beauty on the side of the water is impressive but not to be played with, and it makes all the gentlemen never forget it and can't let it go.
The other ladies were of course jealous when they saw this, but no matter how jealous they were, it was useless. Instead, because of Yu Qingjia's indiscriminate attitude, they gradually attracted a group of women from aristocratic families to make friends with Yu Qingjia. Everyone knows that Poppy is not ordinary, and doesn't pay much attention to any suitors. Today she suddenly asked a man's name, which is really unusual.
Yu Qingjia ignored Yu Qingya, turned around and wanted to leave. Yu Qingya refused to let her go, and quickly blocked Yu Qingjia's body, with a strange expression on her face: "Sixth sister, why are you leaving in such a hurry? Haven't you been lukewarm and hanging on to others, why can't you hold your breath now?"
Yu Qingjia felt that Yu Qingya was simply unreasonable. She couldn't bear it anymore, and fought back: "The imperial court has a new young general. I'm happy for the Holy Majesty, so I want to inquire about it. Why, Fourth Sister thinks it's wrong for me to think about the imperial court?"
Yu Qingya choked, of course she didn't dare to say that she was wrong, the two of them knew the real reason, but when Yu Qingjia brought out such a high-sounding name, Yu Qingya immediately couldn't make any further stabs. Yu Qingya didn't like anything during this time, but when she heard Zhao Jingting's name by chance today, the unknown evil fire burned in her heart even more. She couldn't help but think bitterly, why is everyone against her? Why does she always meet fickle lovers?
King Yingchuan was like this, King Guangping was like this, and even her husband Zhao Jingting in the previous life was like this.
It was about the same time in the previous life, when wars broke out everywhere in the Northern Qi Dynasty and there was turmoil, but Geng Di was imprisoned by the emperor, and all the generals of Geng Di's family were implicated. Uprisings continued everywhere, but there were no military generals available in the court. Zhao Jingting stood out at this time and became famous in one fell swoop. When Yu Qingya moved to Yecheng with Yu Wenjun, Zhao Jingting had already become the hottest upstart in Yecheng. Yu Qingya didn't know what happened, anyway, one day Zhao Jingting suddenly proposed marriage to Yu Qingjia. Yu Qingya and Li Shi are very angry about this, since Yu Qingya is a sister and a big wife, Yu Qingjia should be inferior to Yu Qingya in everything, how can she marry better than Yu Qingya?
At that time, Old Master Yu was still alive, so Yu Qingya and Mrs. Li together went to cry in front of Old Master Yu. Old Master Yu favored his eldest grandson, so he agreed to the marriage on his own initiative, but changed the marriage partner to Yu Qingya.
At that time, Yu Qingya couldn't express how proud she was when she saw that the young upstart who was sought after by everyone in the capital became her husband-in-law. But when Zhao Jingting found out that the candidate for his fiancée had been replaced, how could he swallow this breath. However, the deal is done, Zhao Jingting is young and has low foundation after all, he can't openly break up with the Yu family, so he can only endure his dissatisfaction and marry Yu Qingya. After getting married, Zhao Jingting was reminded every time he saw Yu Qingya that he had completely missed the beauty Yu in his heart, and all of this was thanks to the woman in front of him. Zhao Jingting was very indifferent to Yu Qingya, and not long after marriage, he set up another concubine's room and moved out.
At the beginning, Yu Qingya was arrogant, but later she became eccentric, until finally her heart was ashamed, and she completely turned into a resentful woman like Li Shi.
It's okay if it's just like this, Yu Qingya knows that many couples are like this, respect each other as guests, and don't say a word when they meet each other, but not long after she married Zhao Jingting, King Langya was restored. After King Langya came to power, he purged his political enemies wantonly, and the **** smell in Yecheng was still there, so he proposed marriage to Yu Qingjia in a high-profile manner, and married Yu Qingjia as the regent princess.
Yu Qingya jumped up suddenly. Her husband treated her badly, but Yu Qingjia married high. It's fine to marry high, but the violent and arbitrary King Langya is still obedient to Yu Qingjia. The contrast is so stark that Yu Qingya is almost going crazy with jealousy. Yu Qingya's eyes turned red with anger when she heard the deeds of King Langya and Princess Wang that were spread in the capital. However, this can only make Zhao Jingting hate her more, such a vicious circle.
Now, Zhao Jingting appeared again, and Yu Qingya couldn't help being in a daze when she heard the familiar name. All her life, she had thought hard and started planning for herself two years in advance, but in the end, her situation didn't get better, but it seemed to get worse.
At least, she married Zhao Jingting in the name of his wife in the previous life. Although the relationship between the husband and wife was not harmonious, and the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law was not harmonious, Zhao Jingting at least provided for her, and her mother-in-law tolerated her everywhere. But now, King Guangping is not even willing to give her the most basic respect.
Yu Qingya cried and made noises in front of Laojun Yu's mourning hall before. In order to keep her filial piety for Laojun, she couldn't bear to marry. At that time, many people praised her for her filial piety, but in the blink of an eye, she was going to enter the palace to be a side concubine in less than half a year.
This kind of comparison was too ironic, everyone always looked at her with slight smiles, Yu Qingya was embarrassed, but King Guangping didn't listen to her difficulties, what could Yu Qingya do?
The last time she saw King Guangping, he happened to be investigating the earthquake in Yanzhou, and now King Guangping is content to return to Beijing, waiting to flex his muscles and squeeze Yu Qingya's medicinal meaning, how could he allow Yu Qingya to postpone her wedding due to her filial piety.
However, no matter how uncomfortable she felt, Yu Qingya had to pretend that she was doing well, and said to Yu Qingjia, "It's so pitiful, the person you are interested in is just a general, no matter how skilled you are, how difficult you are, you still have to be Serving his life for the emperor's family. The royal family honors him. He can be an official and fight for success. Once he is annoyed by the royal family, the royal family will let him die. Even if he has made great contributions, he will commit suicide obediently. Sister, don't worry, although our sisters have different identities This is going to be pulled away, and it will be like a moat in the future, but as long as my sister asks me, I will always pull you. If my sister likes this man, why don't I go talk to the queen and the king of the county, and let the queen give you a gift? marriage?"
