Troubled times: Start practicing spiritual practice by taking care of your sister-in-law.

Chapter 703: Lin Xuelan: Yuzhu, good sisters forever
The reason why Lin Xuelan came out of Xingyao's yard so late was because she was in the backyard of the palace. At present, she was most familiar with Xingyao.

Moreover, Lin Xuelan could also see that Xingyao was better at dealing with people and dealing with social situations than she was. In the future, they should visit each other more often in the palace, take care of each other, and have a closer relationship.

She also learned from Xingyao some things that she had not yet observed.

These girls in the backyard are also divided into several groups. The relationships between the girls in these small groups are closer and more familiar than with other girls.

Moreover, the girls in these small groups have some special relationships to some extent.

For example, Xia Zhiqing and Xia Zhining are twin sisters.

Xiao Yunxi and Xiao Ya are aunt and niece.

Xiao Yunxi and Chu Juan, Ning Wan and Liang Xue, their relationship used to be even more...

In short, if these newcomers want to live a good life in the palace, they also need to unite with each other and advance and retreat together.

However, there were only two people, Lin Xuelan and Xingyao, which was obviously not enough. She looked at Yuzhu, who had a hot body and dressed sexy, and thought that she could pull Yuzhu in.

Anyway, she and Yuzhu are both good friends and master and servant.

There is a saying that goes, the personal servants around the daughters of wealthy families will serve as bed warmers for the male and female protagonists in the future.

Therefore, when Lin Xuelan shared Chen Mo with Yuzhu, she was not jealous but rather happy.

Of course, Lin Xuelan thought so in her heart, but she would not act on her own and would ask Yuzhu's opinion first.

Yuzhu also had a lot to say to Lin Xuelan.

So as soon as she entered Lin Xuelan's room, Yuzhu told Lin Xuelan what she knew.

"Miss, do you know what position you are in at Prince Wei's Mansion?" Yuzhu said as she walked towards Lin Xuelan's bed and made the bedding for her.

"How much?" Lin Xuelan was stunned and went to the table to pour a cup of tea.

Although Lin Xuelan regards Yuzhu as a good sister and good friend in her heart, Lin Xuelan is superior to Yuzhu in some details.

For example, when Yuzhu entered the house, the first thing she thought about was serving.

But Lin Xuelan just watched from the side without helping, and the tea she poured was for herself, not for Yuzhu.

Of course, this does not mean that Lin Xuelan is selfish, but a long-standing habit that makes both parties feel that this is natural and they do not feel that there is anything strange or inappropriate.

"Fifteen, the servants in this mansion all call you Madam Fifteen." After making the bedding, Yuzhu asked Lin Xuelan if she was cold and whether she wanted to light a brazier.

Lin Xuelan shook her head and said that it was not necessary for the time being, and asked: "Who is the Fourteenth Madam?"

"Yang Qingqing is the daughter of the Marquis of Hongdu County in Shu Prefecture. I heard that she is also a sixth-rank warrior." Yuzhu said.

Lin Xuelan couldn't help but think of the woman who kept a big insect as a pet. At the same time, she felt a little relieved. Since the Fourteenth Madam was Yang Qingqing, Princess Deyi would be ranked behind her, and she would have to call her sister from now on.

Lin Xuelan didn't know what was wrong with her. At this moment, she actually felt a little happy about this sequence.

"By the way, Miss, have you seen the King of Wei's children? I heard that the King of Wei now has four children, three sons and one daughter." When she said this, Yuzhu was actually unhappy for the young lady.

Chen Mo's reputation was widespread, and it was also known that he had many wives and concubines, but few people really knew about his offspring.

Yuzhu didn't know this before. In her opinion, although Chen Mo had many wives and concubines, if the young lady gave birth to a child for him in the future, she might have a chance to surpass all of Chen Mo's wives and concubines and become the most popular.

Now it seems that there is no way to win the battle.

"Yes, they are so cute, so cute and so friendly." Lin Xuelan's eyes seemed to be shining with little stars, and she smiled and said, "They even call me Aunt Lin."

Yuzhu: “…”

Is this what she meant when she said this?

Miss, don’t you have any idea of ​​catching up?
Yuzhu didn't say anything else. She came over after taking a shower and asked Lin Xuelan if she had washed up. She went to get some hot water.

After learning that Lin Xuelan had finished washing up, Yuzhu took off her embroidered shoes, climbed onto the bed, and warmed the bed for Lin Xuelan.

When the bed warmed up, Yuzhu wanted to get up and let Lin Xuelan rest early, but Lin Xuelan held her down and said, "Yuzhu, don't leave tonight. Sleep with me."

Yuzhu then discovered that Lin Xuelan had blown out the oil lamp on the table, leaving only the candle on the bedside table still burning.

After a slight hesitation, Yuzhu lay down again, but gave the place that she had warmed with her body temperature to Lin Xuelan. It was not that the master and servant had slept together before.

Yuzhu just thought that the young lady was not yet used to her first night at Prince Wei's mansion.

But soon, she found that the lady sleeping inside hugged her from behind.

Yuzhu's body stiffened. When they slept together before, they always slept on one side each, and other than their arms touching, there was no physical contact at all.

"Miss, what's wrong with you?" Yuzhu said as she was about to turn around.

Lin Xuelan asked her not to move. They both lay on their sides. She put one hand on her waist and the other on her shoulder. She said, "No wonder the prince liked to hold me like this before. It's really comfortable."

Yuzhu: “…”

"Miss, go to bed early. You can't stay in bed in the palace. If you get up late, people will gossip about you." Yuzhu held the corner of the quilt, motionless.

She thought the lady would just hug her and that would be enough, but she didn't expect that the lady's hand on her waist actually grasped the truth through her shirt.

At first, she thought it was the young lady's carelessness, but she didn't expect to hear the young lady's gentle voice in her ears: "Yuzhu, you are older than me."

Yuzhu thought he was talking about age: "Miss, you only know this now?"

Lin Xuelan didn't expect Yuzhu to be so unmodest. As she spoke, her hands moved: "The prince will definitely like it."

Yuzhu realized what the young lady was saying. Her expression and body suddenly became a little stiff. Her eyes flickered and she quickly took the young lady's hand away, saying, "What's the good of this? It's not convenient at all when practicing."

Lin Xuelan smiled lightly and said with a blushing face: "When you become a woman, you will know."

"Miss, what's wrong with you tonight? You seem weird." Yuzhu frowned, her mind was very active.

"Yuzhu, do you want to be Little Seventeen?" Lin Xuelan turned Yuzhu's body over and looked into her eyes.

Yuzhu frowned even more tightly: "Miss, did someone tell you something?"

"No, no." Lin Xuelan shook her head quickly, hesitated, and explained seriously: "Yuzhu, you are not young anymore, two years older than me. You have been with me for so many years, and I don't want you to end up alone. I can't bear to part with you if I promise you to someone else. Why don't we really be a pair of good sisters in the future?"

Seeing that the young lady was serious, Yuzhu slightly avoided her gaze. After a moment of silence, she said softly, "I am your personal maid, and I have the responsibility to serve the prince on your behalf. As long as the young lady doesn't mind, I can do it."

"Yuzhu, I don't mean to force you." Lin Xuelan frowned slightly: "I am asking for your opinion. I respect your wishes. If you don't want to be the prince's woman, I will find a good family for you in the future."

"Miss, I am not reluctant or anything like that. I can do it."

Yuzhu grew up in the Lin family. Although Lin Xuelan treated Yuzhu as a good friend, the Lin family trained Yuzhu as a loyal servant. After a long period of subtle influence, Yuzhu's heart was branded with the mark of a slave. She never thought about who she would marry or who she would like. Instead, she had the consciousness that she would follow whoever the young lady followed.

Lin Xuelan didn't think too much about it. When she heard Yuzhu's answer, her eyes lit up and she smiled, "That's great. We'll be good sisters forever."

Yuzhu hummed lightly.

……

the other side.

After washing up, Chen Mo lay on Wu Mi's big bed, leaning against the headboard, thinking about something.

Chen Jia asked the maid to take it away. Wu Mi, wearing the best silk nightgown, spread the quilt and covered Chen Mo's waist and legs. Then she took off her embroidered shoes, crawled to the innermost side, and put on black silk stockings in front of Chen Mo.

Wu Mi had just finished bathing, and in the dim candlelight, he could see the snow-white scenery under his collar.

Her hands are beautiful and her fingers are very long. She holds the black stockings and covers her beautiful legs bit by bit, which is quite beautiful.

Chen Mo waited for her to get dressed and get into bed, then he reached out and hugged her. He hugged her soft body and skillfully stroked her black silk legs with his big hands. He said, "I just came from Qingqing's place and told her about her father. The Song Dynasty today cannot tolerate warlord separatism."

As powerful as the Xiao and Wu families are, their private armies are now owned by the imperial court.

Wu Mi leaned in Chen Mo's arms and nodded. She didn't want to discuss these "political affairs", so she changed the subject and talked about Queen Mother Liang Ji.

"The Queen Mother has settled down in the Liang family. The Liang family has also arranged for specific people to look after her. Anyone who comes in and out will be strictly checked, and no news will be leaked."

As he spoke, Wu Mi took out five letters from under his pillow and handed them to Chen Mo: "Husband, these are all written to you by the Queen Mother."

Chen Mo stroked Wu Mi's hair and asked, "What did you write?"

"That was the letter from the Queen Mother to you, my husband. I didn't read it."

"We are an old married couple. There is no need to be so formal. It's okay to just take a look."

As he spoke, Chen Mo opened the five letters one by one and read them in front of Wu Mi.

According to the time of the letters, the first letter was sent two months ago. Liang Ji said that she had just arrived at the Liang family, everything went well on the journey, she and the fetus were safe, and asked Chen Mo not to worry.

The second letter was sent one month after the first and talked about the condition of the fetus.

The third letter was sent only one week after the second.

Liang Ji first talked about her own situation, then asked Chen Mo why he didn't reply to his letter, and after a lot of complaints, asked him to reply quickly.

The time between the fourth and fifth letters became shorter and shorter.

Some of the above content is repetitive and repetitive.

Wu Mi was a woman, and she immediately analyzed some information from these letters and said with a smile: "My husband, the Queen Mother is missing you, and she is a little worried about gains and losses."

Chen Mo smiled and said, "Why do I see a resentful woman in the palace from the letter?"

"The Queen Mother is pregnant with your child, and she has placed her trust in you emotionally. Moreover, as the Queen Mother of the Song Dynasty, she is pregnant with your child, and she is under great mental pressure. She longs for some comfort from you, my husband."

"She knows that I went to the Western Regions with her father, so how can I reply to her letter? She is just complaining." Chen Mo said this, thinking in his heart that he would hurry up to reply to the letter tomorrow and send her a copy of the gift he brought back from the Western Regions.

Wu Mi leaned into Chen Mo's arms and changed the subject.

"My husband, it seems that His Majesty is having a conflict with Queen Zhao."

The palace was under the surveillance of Prince Wei's Mansion, and Wu Mi knew something about what was happening in the palace.

"Hmm?" Chen Mo raised his eyebrows: "What happened?"

"According to information from the palace, Your Majesty has not slept with Queen Zhao in the past two months, and the two of them have not eaten together. Before this, Your Majesty and Queen Zhao had a very close relationship." Wu Mi said.

This distant relationship makes it hard not to feel that there is a conflict between the two of them.

"What did the imperial physician say?" Chen Mo asked.

After all, if one of them is ill, it is not surprising that they do not sleep in the same room.

"The imperial physician said that your majesty and Queen Zhao are in good health." Wu Mi understood what Chen Mo meant.

"That's weird."

"Husband, you have nothing to do with this, right?" Wu Mi hesitated for a long time, but couldn't help asking.

Chen Mo quickly explained: "This matter really has nothing to do with me. I warned His Majesty at the beginning, but that matter has nothing to do with Queen Zhao, and there is no connection at all."

Wu Mi believed it. Although Chen Mo was a playboy, he was still quite honest with her on matters concerning men and women.

"It could be some other reason. My husband, please go to the palace and ask tomorrow." Wu Mi said.

"Forget it, it's just a matter between them. It has nothing to do with me. If I ask, I'll probably get blamed for it."

Chen Mo turned over and pressed Wu Mi under him: "Let them have conflicts, as long as we live a good life.

Come on, Mi'er, let's try hard and have a second child."

"Yeah." Wu Mi said softly.

……

The next day, at dawn, Chen Mo washed up and went into the palace.

The letter from Yelang Kingdom was presented to Emperor Yong'an.

The court, which had been silent for more than two months, became agitated again.

Geng Songfu’s idea was not wrong. No matter how small Yelang was, it was still a country.

The King of Wei made the Yelang Kingdom submit to him without sending out a single soldier. This was a remarkable achievement.

Chen Mo's prestige grew even more.

Emperor Yong'an felt like he was sitting on pins and needles on the dragon throne under his butt.

I had a feeling that the day of change of dynasty was getting closer and closer.

It seems that the gap between him and the Queen will become wider.

Emperor Yong'an was really scared.
