Chapter 287 No side concubine
Lu Wanzhi stopped eating the porridge, and she glanced sideways at Yuhe's face.

Although Yuhe could not compare to Yulan's appearance, it was not uncommon in Chang'an City, where there were so many beauties. There was no reason why King Liang could remain indifferent when such a beauty was by his side.

Lu Wanzhi put the porridge aside and said, "Is King Liang paying tribute to that fake? Or does he not have the slightest affection for you?"

Although Yuhe has not formally entered the Prince Liang's mansion, Concubine Shu and the Queen Mother have already acquiesced that Yuhe is the Princess of Xinliang.

Naturally, it is impossible for the royal family to publicize the true and false Princess Liang. The identity of the royal daughter-in-law can be mistaken. Isn't it embarrassing for the royal family?

Therefore, the palace also wanted to let Yuhe go directly to Liang Wang's mansion as the Xinliang Princess, and no longer make a big deal about the marriage.

Fortunately, the previous fakes don't show up often, and they won't let outsiders know that the two Consort Liang look alike.

Yuhe used to be the wife of the magistrate of Cangzhou, so she met some people more or less. Even the wedding was avoided, and the matter passed away without making a sound. Some people in the province were talking about Brother Du's life experience.

After a few years, no one will remember that there was a former Concubine Liang and Mrs. Cangzhou back then.

In any case, Yuhe is now Princess Liang, and there is no reason for Liang Wang to be concerned about the defense of men and women.

And when they met, they had already ignored the defenses of men and women.

What reason does Liang Wang have to be unlucky for Yuhe?

Yuhe pursed her lips lightly and said: "Girl, I don't know either, but I know that if the King of Liang has been unwilling to favor me, even if I enter the Prince Liang's mansion, the name of Concubine Liang will not be able to protect Du'er. There are other concubines and wives beside King Liang..."

Lu Wanzhi said slowly: "There seems to be no side concubine beside King Liang?"

Xingrui said from the side: "The King of Liang and the former Concubine Liang have a very deep relationship, and the palace draft offered to give the side concubine to the King of Liang, but the King of Liang also refused."

After Xingrui finished speaking, he covered his mouth again and said, "I was the one talking too much."

Lu Wanzhi said to Xingrui, "It's okay."

Yuhe lowered her head and squeezed the handkerchief in her hand and said, "I am relieved that there is no other concubine, at least Brother Du will not fall out of favor for the time being when he is in Prince Liang's mansion."

After Lu Wanzhi got up, Xie Jin brought a lot of envelopes to Lu Wanzhi.

Lu Wanzhi looked at them one by one, and found that they were all letters written by the officials of the Hou Ye, a well-known gentry in the Jiangnan area, so that her own children could be the first batch of students of Jiangnan Qinglan Academy.

Lu Wanzhi looked at the envelope and said, "Xie Jin, write back to them and ask them to take the exam in the academy on June [-]th."

"Yes."

Lu Wanzhi said again: "The Tianzi class only recruits ten students."

She is pregnant, and she is afraid that her own body will not be able to bear it if she teaches the extra children.

Xie Jin responded, "Yes."

Lu Wanzhi saw the scorching sun outside, the grasses and trees were so hot that they drooped their heads, and the blooming flowers at the door also bowed their heads. It was only half noon, and the dog days in the south of the Yangtze River were really severe.

Today is Zhao Heng's birthday, Lu Wanzhi originally wanted to make him a bowl of longevity noodles, now think about it and let her go.

It's so hot just by looking at the outside, why bother to go to the stove to smoke?

Such a good sun is suitable for drying books. She brought a lot of books from Chang'an City. Now that she is going to teach, she can take out the books and put them in the sun.

At noon, the maid in the yamen came to report that Zhao Heng didn't come back for dinner, and Lu Wanzhi didn't feel anything wrong.

Today is his birthday, maybe he will celebrate his birthday with his colleagues in the yamen.

At noon, Zhao Heng was lying in the study, with Chang Sheng fanning him, "It's already noon, why hasn't Zhizhi given me a birthday present? I took a special vacation yesterday to celebrate her birthday with her."

Chang Sheng said from the side: "Could it be that the princess of the county has forgotten?"

Zhao Heng said: "How could I forget? Her birthday is only one day away from mine."

Chang Sheng said: "Maybe I really forgot."

Zhao Heng said displeased: "Zhizhi will never forget my birthday!"

When Gu Shiyu entered, he saw a large block of ice in Zhao Heng's study, and Chang Sheng fanned him to feel at ease, "You have to be the one to enjoy the blessings. You have been very busy these few days investigating the property of the Si family."

Seeing Zhao Heng's expression was wrong, Gu Shiyu asked, "What's wrong with you?"

Zhao Heng looked up at Gu Shiyu and said, "Do you know what day it is today?"

Gu Shiyu said: "The sixth day of June, your birthday, I came here specially to give you a gift, nah!"

Gu Shiyu took out a suet white jade pendant from his sleeve, "This jade pendant is for praying for peace, I wish you a happy 21st birthday, you are one year older."

Zhao Heng wasn't too happy when he took the jade pendant, "Even you know it's my birthday, but she didn't show it at all, hum!"

Gu Shiyu guessed, "Who? Lu Wanzhi?"

Zhao Heng snorted softly, "Hmph!"

Gu Shiyu smiled and said, "Isn't it that today hasn't passed yet? You're working in the Yamen, and she won't come over to disturb you. After she's not allowed to go back, she'll prepare a birthday gift for you?"

Hearing Gu Shiyu's words, Zhao Heng also smiled lightly. In the afternoon, he didn't feel annoyed when he saw the common people who came to complain about trivial matters, and he mediated patiently.

After attending class and reading the official documents, Zhao Heng went back to their room.

Seeing what Lu Wanzhi was writing on the desk, she approached and saw that she was writing the bibliography used for teaching, "I haven't recruited students yet, Mr. Lu is ready to start a lesson?"

Lu Wanzhi smiled lightly and said, "Be prepared, I wrote all afternoon, and my back hurts."

Zhao Heng gently pinched Lu Wanzhi's waist and said, "Now that you have a child, it's still not suitable to sit for a long time."

Lu Wanzhi nodded lightly and asked, "Is there anything new in the Yamen today?"

Zhao Heng told Lu Wanzhi exactly what he had complained about today. Although they were common noises among ordinary people, they were something that Lu Wanzhi had never experienced before.

Zhao Heng said: "This county magistrate is also difficult."

Lu Wanzhi smiled and said, "Not all county magistrates are as willing as you to do it yourself. Some magistrates don't care when they hear these complaints."

Zhao Heng said: "How can we not care about it? The court gave me a salary, no wonder the common people like me so much, I thought it was because I was good-looking, it turned out that the county magistrates didn't care about things, and the county magistrate was in charge of things and they liked me."

Listening to Zhao Heng's cheeky words, Lu Wanzhi touched her belly, "You can't be as cheeky as your father."

Zhao Heng said: "Why am I thick-skinned? Everyone in Shanyin praises me for being good-looking, and Aunt Qian, Aunt Wang, and Erniang Shen who are next to the yamen all say that I want to introduce my little..."

"Small what? A concubine?" Lu Wanzhi raised her eyes and looked at Zhao Heng, "I'm not in front of the yamen for a few days, you want a concubine?"

Zhao Heng coaxed: "I don't have it, they said it, I don't want any concubines, and those concubines are not as good-looking as me!"
