Queen's Development

Chapter 143 Night in the Mountain
Before Lin Jia came back, Yu Zhi couldn't sit still, so she stood up and said, "Han Lin, come take a walk in the courtyard with me!"

In the past, she and Lin Jia often went for a walk in the back garden at night, but now the old concubine and Princess Li brought three girls to live in the back garden, so she and Lin Jia had to take a walk in the courtyard of Tingsongyuan.

Fortunately, I heard that Songyuan was designed by Emperor Yongtai himself, and the garden is quite impressive, so Yuzhi is quite satisfied and still often takes a walk.

Han Lin hurriedly said: "It's a bit cold outside at night, Auntie, let's put on a cloak!"

She took a light green embroidered satin cloak and helped Yuzhi tie it on, and then they went out together.

Now it is late autumn, the night is quite cool, the bright moon hangs high, and the white moonlight shines brightly in the yard.

Just as Yu Zhi led Han Lin around for a while, she heard voices coming from the direction of the gate, and knowing that Lin Jia had come back, she led Han Lin along the path to meet Lin Jia.

Lin Jia was striding forward full of worries, when she saw that Alan who was holding a lantern in front was stopped by someone, she quickly stopped, looked up and saw that it was Yuzhi, couldn't help smiling, stretched out her hand to hold Yuzhi's hand, and walked towards Mingjian go.

After Lin Jia came out of the shower, she saw Yuzhi sitting on the couch reading a book, so she walked over, sat down in front of Yuzhi, and asked Yuzhi to wipe his long wet hair.

After wiping her long hair, Lin Jia reached out to touch Yuzhi's abdomen.

Yuzhi was itchy by his touch, she struggled with a smile, and said in her mouth, "What are you doing?"

Lin Jia said softly: "When can I get pregnant?"

Yuzhi was taken aback when she heard the words: "You... want me to get pregnant?"

Lin Jia let out a "hmm", embraced Yu Zhi, and said in a low voice, "Your position will be more stable only if you have our child."

Yuzhi suddenly remembered that Lin Jia was now 19 years old, and Emperor Yongtai planned to marry him at 20...

Her heart felt a little sour for a moment.

After a while, she snuggled into Lin Jia's arms and smiled with the corners of her mouth curled up.

That being the case, when she still has Lin Jia, let's be happy together!

Thinking of this, Yuzhi's smile turned bright, and she gently pushed Lin Jia down and put her on Lin Jia's body.

The soft halo of the glazed lamp next to it shines on Lin Jia's face. Looking at a beauty under the light is ten times better than the daytime. Under the soft light, Lin Jia is lying there relaxed. .

Yuzhi smiled and kissed her...

Lin Jia closed his eyes, and felt a numbness spread from the tailbone up the spine. No matter how hard he could bear it, he turned over and pressed Yuzhi.

At the most critical moment, Yuzhi opened her eyes and looked at Lin Jia, full of pleadings.

The eyes are so charming that they seem to drip water.

How could Lin Jia endure being looked at by such eyes?His pair of phoenix eyes were deep and unfathomable, he was fixedly looking at Yuzhi, only his own panting and Yuzhi's soft cries remained in his ears...

After an unknown amount of time, Yu Zhi hugged Lin Jia, who was sweating profusely, and relaxed.

After a while, she heard Lin Jia's voice hoarse: "Yuzhi, I'm going to Xingzhou tomorrow to deliver an edict for His Majesty. I'll leave Li Rui behind and let him protect you."

Yuzhi was stunned for a while, then gave a soft "hmm".

Although Yuzhi was instructed, Lin Jia was still worried and at a loss.

Going to Xingzhou to preach the decree, riding a horse all the way back and forth quickly, Yuzhi's body may not be able to bear it, otherwise he would not have left Yuzhi in the mansion...

Knowing that Lin Jia was worried about her, Yu Zhi hugged Lin Jia tightly, put her face on the back of Lin Jia's neck, and said softly: "Don't worry, I will protect myself, if you come back and find that I am not here, don't worry, I will protect you." Come back and find you!"

Lin Jia laughed, shaking her spine a little.

He whispered: "Okay!"

In the morning Yuzhi got up to send Lin Jia out, and went back to her room to catch up on sleep.

Today is the fifteenth day, she has to go to greet the old concubine and Princess Li, rest for a while before getting more energetic.

When Yuzhi arrived at the Anxiangyuan, the three girls Lin Lixiang, Lin Guixi and Lin Lanzi were sitting with the old concubine and Princess Li.

Yuzhi walked in with Han Lin, bowed her knees to stop, and then got up.

Lin Lixiang sized up Yuzhi, and saw that she was wearing a simple lily bun, wearing a light green double-breasted gown embroidered with white magnolia, and a snow-white pleated skirt that stretched to the floor. Yingying couldn't help but feel unhappy, but because of the big event arranged by her grandmother, she could only smile and say: "Aunt Yu, you came just in time, we are discussing something fun!"

Yuzhi stood there, looking at Lin Lixiang with a smile, her eyes seemed to be able to speak, waiting for Lin Lixiang's answer.

Lin Lixiang couldn't help but said: "I heard that the chrysanthemums in Qingxian Nunnery outside the city are blooming very well. Grandma is going to take us to Qingxian Nunnery to enjoy the chrysanthemums!"

Lin Guixi was in a hurry and hurriedly said, "Aunt Yu, you can follow us too, it's fun!"

Yuzhi said with a smile: "I really want to go, but—"

As she spoke, she thought about the reasons for not going.

Just as Yuzhi came up with a reason and was about to speak, the old concubine smiled kindly: "You child, what can you do if you are bored in the mansion all day? If you have anything to do, tell me, and I will tell others to do it!"

Yuzhi couldn't refuse, so she had to agree.

Lin Lixiang said again: "The position of the carriage is big enough, besides you, it can hold two people. You can bring Chunhua and Dongmei with you!"

Yuzhi didn't agree, and said with a smile: "I can't leave the cold forest, so let me bring the cold forest and spring flowers with me!"

Lin Lixiang glanced at the old concubine, and saw that she was still smiling, so she stopped talking.

After receiving the news that the people from the Lin Mansion were going to take Yuzhi to Qingxian Nunnery, Han Qing couldn't help laughing, and ordered the little servant Meimei: "Go and ask someone to tidy up the small yard behind my outer study, and let the little yard tidy up when the time comes." She lives in!"

It was rare for Meimei to see Han Qing so happy, so she immediately agreed.

Thinking that Yuzhi was about to be acquired, Han Qing felt a little overwhelmed. He lowered his head and took a few steps, then raised his eyes to Liangchen and Meijing: "What kind of boudoir arrangement do women like?"

Liangchen has a lively temperament, and immediately said: "Isn't it just some more elegant light pink, light green, light purple silk and satin, and then put some gold and jade playthings, and then you, my lord, will accompany you a little bit, how can there be a woman who won't be hooked? "

When Han Qing heard it, he always felt that Liangchen's words seemed to be insulting Yuzhi, so he immediately scolded: "Bastard, how can you say 'take the bait'? We are lovers and concubines!"

Liang Chen: "...Yes."

Damn it, Lang Qingqie wants to find a way to snatch him over?
Liangchen and Meijing didn't dare to say anything, they retreated together and went to make arrangements.

In the morning of this day, the Lin family and his party went out of the city to Qingxian Nunnery with several gorgeous carriages escorted by Li Fu.

After entering the Qingxian Nunnery with lush flowers and trees, Yuzhi felt even more uneasy.

She wandered around, only looking for that familiar figure, but she couldn't find it, and felt even more uneasy.

Now is the season of chrysanthemums, the garden of Qingxian Nunnery is full of purples and reds, all kinds of famous chrysanthemums are competing for beauty, and there are high-ranking female relatives who come to enjoy the chrysanthemums everywhere, and it is very lively.

The nun who guides Lin Fu and his party in the front is quite talkative. While leading Lin Fu and his party to the red-painted veranda on the east side, she introduces incessantly: "...there are three small courtyards in the back mountain of our place. , tidy up and tidy up, specially entertain straight officials and female family members, don’t worry about old concubines and concubines! The poor nun arranged for your mansion to be the southernmost Red Maple Courtyard and Red Leaf Residence, with the most beautiful scenery..."

On the surface, Yuzhi looked downcast, but in fact she was listening with her ears open all the time, and her eyes moved around, constantly looking for the figure of that person.

The corridor leading to the Hongfeng Courtyard in the back mountain seems to have no end. Outside the corridor is a tall linden tree. The crown of the tree blocks the sunlight of the corridor, which is very cool.

Finally arrived at Hongfengyuan in the back mountain.

When Mother Xia allocated the rooms, she arranged the old concubine, Princess Li, and sister Lin Lixiang in the Red Maple Courtyard, and then said with a smile: "There are no vacancies in the Red Maple Courtyard, please trouble Aunt Yu to bring two maids to live in the room." Let's live in Hongye!"

Yuzhi was suspicious in her heart, but her face remained calm, and she answered "yes" docilely.

It was late at night, and Yuzhi was serving the old concubine.Concubine Li and the three girls finished their fast, and then took Chunhua and Hanlin to Hongyeju.

A little nun held a lantern and led the three of Yuzhi along the path to Hongye Residence.

Turning around, the little nun pointed to the light in the forest ahead and said, "That's Hongyeju!"

Yuzhi raised her eyes and looked over, and found that the lights were flickering among the dark mountains and trees in front of her, and there was still some distance, so she couldn't help saying: "Why is it so far away?"

The little nun smiled: "Our Qingxian Nunnery was first built by Empress Dowager Longqing, so it occupies quite a large area!"

After entering the Red Leaf Residence, Yuzhi's feet hurt a little, she didn't have dinner at all, and she was tired and hungry at the moment, so she sat on the arhat bed in the bright room.

Seeing this, the little nun smiled and said, "Daughter Tanyue is hungry? I'll get you some plain pancakes!"

Yu Zhi hurriedly smiled and said, "Thank you, thank you! But we have brought our own!"

The little nun made some arrangements and then left.

While Han Lin and Chun Hua were packing their luggage, Yu Zhi sat on the Arhat bed thinking about something.

At this time, the night was deep, the mountain was windy, and the wind humming outside, mixed with the gurgling sound of the mountain spring flowing slowly, seemed to be close to the ear, but also seemed to be far away in the sky.

She shivered involuntarily, always feeling that it would be a difficult night.

Not long after, Han Lin washed the kitchen of Hongyeju, reboiled the water, brewed a pot of Pu'er tea and brought it over, and took out the box of snacks brought from the mansion, and put them on the kang table for Yuzhi to eat.

Yuzhi washed her hands under Chunhua's service, looked at the hot Pu'er tea and exquisite snacks on the small kang table, and finally felt relieved.

She picked up the teacup and took a sip, feeling her whole body was warmed up, so she took a few more sips, and then took a piece of mung bean plum cake and ate it slowly.

Chunhua and Hanlin went to the bedroom to tidy up.

The tea is the best Pu'er, and the dim sum is the best dim sum bought from Yi Anzhai, Yu Zhi ate slowly.

She picked up a piece of chestnut stuffed snack and ate it slowly, while she was eating, she was thinking about whether the person she arranged had come or not.

If she doesn't come, she can only rely on herself!
After Yuzhi washed, she loosened her long hair and leaned against the smoked cage in the open room to relax.

It is very cold at night in the mountains, but there are smoke cages in the bedroom, which is much better.

Chunhua took advantage of Yuzhi and Hanlin to wash in the open room, quietly entered the bedroom, took out a small box of spices from her bosom, took out a piece of fragrant cake and threw it into the smoker cage.

The smoked cage was originally filled with a light scent of chrysanthemums, but after this piece of fragrant cake was thrown in, the smoked cage gradually emitted a pleasant scent of sweet-scented osmanthus.

After smelling the fragrance of sweet-scented osmanthus, Chunhua pursed her lips and smiled, and went out lightly: "Auntie, the bed in the bedroom is ready, are you going to sleep now?"

Yuzhi yawned lazily: "I'm so tired, I can hardly keep my eyes open!"

Chunhua smiled sweetly, and together with Hanlin served Yuzhi, went into the bedroom and fell asleep.

She put down the bed curtains with Han Lin, and was about to extinguish the candlestick on the bedside table, when she heard Yuzhi's voice hoarse: "Don't turn off the lamp, keep it!"

Chunhua answered "yes" and retreated with Hanlin—the two of them lived in the dark room tonight.

It was already midnight, and a small courtyard not far from Hongye Residence was still brightly lit.

Liangchen brought a cup of tea into the bedroom with a tea tray, and found that Han Qing had changed his clothes. He took off the riding clothes he was wearing before, and put on a black brocade robe with a jade belt around his waist. He looked calm and proud, handsome and elegant like an exile .

He put the tea on the small table.

Han Qing looked at Liang Chen with bright eyes: "How about I look at it like this?"

Liangchen pursed his lips and smiled: "My lord, even if you got him over, wouldn't you still have to take off your clothes in the end? Why bother taking off your pants and farting!"

Han Qing didn't like what he said, so he immediately raised his leg and kicked him.

Liang Chen was very clever and ran out quickly.

After leaving the bedroom door, he probed again: "My lord, those people outside are all ready!"

Han Qing smiled triumphantly: "Wait a little longer, when people are fast asleep, let's go there again!"
