Perhaps it was because Tang Yuyao was dressed as a woman. Although the young man thought she looked familiar, he didn't recognize her for a while.
However, Tang Yuyao recognized him at a glance. He was Li Pan, the sixth young master from the third room of Jiangyang Hou Mansion. The Jiangyang Marquis Mansion is Concubine Li's natal family, so Li Pan should be called Zhao Ting's cousin. Others don't know, but Tang Yuyao knows that in the huge Jiangyang Marquis Mansion, only Li Pan and his sister Li Yun are close to Zhao Ting.
Although they were only secretly close to each other in private, this was already rare.
She knelt down and saluted, and said, "I have met the Sixth Young Master."
Li Pan had already seen Qin Yuan, and when he looked at Tang Yuyao carefully, he finally recognized him: "Are you the Yuyao in front of my seventh cousin?"
Tang Yuyao nodded: "I am a slave. Are you going to leave, Master Six? Please go slowly."
Li Pan didn't move his feet, only looked at Tang Yuyao's womanly bun, and said in surprise: "Are you actually married? When did it happen? How..." Why did Qin Yuan look like a servant? Follow? She was a maidservant, and even if she gained face, the person she married should not be qualified to order Qin Yuan around.
Tang Yuyao had been in contact with this young master Li Pan before, and now she said bluntly: "It's not about marrying someone, it's about the master raising the slave to be his aunt."
"Cousin Seven?" Li Pan was shocked. He was about to walk out, but now he changed his steps, "Are you coming over for dinner? Brother Seven asked you to come?"
Tang Yuyao shook her head: "No, I went out for a walk, and it was dinner time, so I wanted to have dinner at the famous Telford Restaurant in Beijing."
What a courage! Just a concubine.
However, this is enough to prove how much the seventh cousin loves her.
Everyone in the world said that the seventh cousin had a hidden illness. It turned out to be a false rumor. In the past, he felt that the seventh cousin was a little different about the maid named Yuyao, but now it turned out to be true. She actually secretly promoted someone to be her aunt. What man with a hidden disease would do that!
Li Pan was very happy and showed Tang Yuyao the way before driving: "Let's go, I asked for a private room upstairs. I wanted to have dinner with Brother Qi. You are here just in time!"
Tang Yuyao declined: "You must have an appointment with the master to discuss important matters, and I still can't come. Just now, Butler Qin has asked the store to arrange another private room. When you and the master have dinner, tell him that the slave is here too." .”
Li Pan originally wanted to say that his sister Li Yun was also there, but if they had gone to the private room next door together, the words would have stopped on his lips. Although my sister is a concubine, she is still a serious young lady from the Jiangyang Marquis Mansion. Although this Yuyao is the concubine of my seventh cousin, she is not in the limelight and has never humiliated my sister like this.
Thinking of this, the thought of asking Tang Yuyao how Zhao Ting proposed her as his aunt disappeared, and he could ask his seventh cousin in a while.
He smiled slightly and said: "Okay, you go up first, I'm going to see why the seventh cousin hasn't arrived yet."
Tang Yuyao didn't know that he had thought so much in this short moment, and didn't want to know. She nodded and went upstairs, and said to Qin Yuan: "You don't have to wait downstairs. If you want food, you can use it downstairs. The sixth young master will tell the master later, and we can go back together with the master."
Qin Yuan is someone who has been here before, so he naturally understands that Tang Yuyao wants to surprise Zhao Ting.
Now that Tang Yuyao was being favored, he also wanted Zhao Ting to be happy, so he agreed with a smile and said, "The young man has thanked Master Tang for them."
Tang Yuyao said this, so naturally she paid to treat the guard, coachman, Qin Yuan and others to dinner.

Because Concubine Li's birthday was coming soon, Zhao Ting, who was in charge of the Fine Food and Cleaning Department of the Ministry of Etiquette, was a little late. After all, it was the birthday of the favored concubine, and the banquet was a major event. It was completely dark when he arrived at Defu Restaurant. Li Pan got close to him and asked his servant to wait downstairs. As soon as he arrived, he immediately led him to the private room upstairs.
When the door opened and Zhao Ting took one step forward, Li Yun stood up and called softly: "Seventh cousin!"
Li Yun is only fourteen years old. He wears a goose-yellow jacket and has ruby earrings in the shape of water droplets on his ears. When he stands up and calls out, the earrings also sway. He looks lively and beautiful.
Zhao Ting was a little surprised. He called Li Pan because he had something to say.
But he was also kind to this cousin, smiled and said: "Ayun is here too."
Zhao Ting rarely smiled outside, and there was really nothing to laugh about, so when he smiled, Li Yun felt a little deer beating in his heart, his beautiful face turned red, and he sat down. She originally wanted to step forward and hug her seventh cousin's arm, and pull her to sit next to her, but now she didn't dare anymore.
"Yeah." She responded like a mosquito, and she looked at Zhao Ting with a blushing face.
Concubine Li in the palace is extremely beautiful, and Zhao Ting looks at least 70% like her. However, because he has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, even though his face is as white as jade and he has such an exquisite appearance, he is not feminine at all. . On the contrary, he has a different kind of handsomeness. Li Yun can't say clearly. She only knows that even if everyone in the world dislikes his seventh cousin and is unwilling to get close to him, she still likes him and is willing to get close to him.
Li Panyuan allowed his sister to have such an idea, not that he wanted Li Yun to marry Zhao Ting. There was already a cousin Li Meng in the family who married the ninth cousin. Logically, he would not send anyone to the seventh cousin again. Besides, no one in the Li family likes the seventh cousin. Everyone in the Jiangyang Marquis Mansion wants to know him. So she can like it if she likes it. It's just the unrequited love she had when she was a little girl. After all, it's impossible, so let her go.
But now when he thought of Tang Yuyao who was in the private room next door, he felt pity for his sister.
Patting his sister on the shoulder, Li Pan said, "Seventh cousin, I saw your newly-carried aunt at the door earlier."
Zhao Ting was surprised: "Have you seen Yuyao?"
Li Pan's words froze the shame on Li Yun's face, and Zhao Ting's words made her heart sink even more.
New aunt? Isn’t there always no one around my seventh cousin?
Yuyao...who is Yuyao?
In just a short moment, her face turned pale, and she turned to stare at Li Pan. She didn't know whether she was hoping he would tell who Yuyao was, or hoping he would say everything was a joke.
Li Pan couldn't bear to look at his sister's face and said, "Well, she said she was out for a walk, and when she got here she wanted to try the food at Defu Restaurant, which is right next door."
Unconsciously, Li Pan repeated Tang Yuyao's words, which contained a hint of complaint.
Although Zhao Ting was surprised, he was not annoyed at all. He immediately stood up and said, "I'll go there first."
As soon as he left, Li Yun grabbed his brother with one hand, tears already in his eyes: "Brother Six, are you telling the truth?"
It's now, how can there be any fake things? Li Pandian stroked his sister's hair comfortingly and said, "You also know her, one of the maids beside Brother Seven, the one named Yuyao."
Only then did Li Yun remember: "It's her!"
But it wasn't her. Zhao Ting came over right now. Tang Yuyao was surprised and then smiled: "It seems that the Sixth Young Master told you."
Tang Yuyao had already had dinner, and there was only a pot of tea on the table. She picked it up and took a sip when Zhao Ting came.
"Have you had dinner?" Tang Yuyao didn't have the habit of drinking tea before meals, so Zhao Ting asked.
"Yes." Tang Yuyao said, "You just came, right? Let's go have a meal first. The Sixth Young Master is still waiting. I'm waiting for you here."
However, Zhao Ting did not rush over. He walked up and sat on Tang Yuyao's side, grabbed her hand and played with it, saying, "Why do you think of leaving the house?"
Tang Yuyao lowered her eyes: "Why, it's already now, are you still afraid of your servant leaving the house?"
"How could it be!" There was indeed a moment of worry, but as Tang Yuyao said, she was already his now, and she might even have his child in her belly, so how could he still be afraid. But he refused to admit even a little bit of fear, "I just wanted to ask if you are missing something?"
Tang Yuyao smiled lightly, took the long wooden box on the table, opened it, and found a white jade hairpin.
She said: "I don't need anything, I just want to give you a gift."
Well done, what gift should I give you?
Zhao Ting thought so in his heart, but he couldn't help but smile on his face. He quickly took the hosta over and took a closer look and said, "It's a good thing!"
Tang Yuyao said: "That's natural. I still have some eyesight."
Zhao Ting touched the bun on his head and said, "Please help me change it."

When Zhao Ting returned to the next door, Li Yun could tell at a glance that he had changed the hosta that bound his hair.
I only went out for a short time, and I went to the next door. I want to know where this hosta came from.
She didn't ask any questions, ate something casually, then stood up and said, "Seventh cousin, sixth cousin said that you have something to do with him today, so how about this, you talk here, I will go next door to stay for a while."
Zhao Ting indeed had something to say to Li Pan alone, but before Li Pan could stop him, he nodded in agreement: "Okay, go ahead!"
