Queen's Development

Chapter 169
In March of Yangchun, the pear trees outside Yutang Hall are covered with snow-white.

Emperor Yongtai put down Lin Jia's secret booklet in his hand, sighed, got up and walked out of the hall, stood on the porch and looked at the snow-white pear blossoms in front of the hall.

Lin Jia stepped forward step by step, advancing slowly, attacking and killing all the way, and now he has reached the outside of Ganzhou City.

This kid Ajia is good at everything, but killing too much, especially for Guizhen Sect.

However, Guizhen Sect is really evil, its teachings are bloodthirsty, and it is very good at disguising when its strength is insufficient. Once it gains a foothold, it will start massacring non-religionists, known as "killing all dishonest people in the world".

Since Guizhen believers were introduced into the Great Zhou Dynasty, countless murders have been caused. It is really a big cancer in the Great Zhou Dynasty. No wonder Ajia said that only dead Guizhen believers are harmless Guizhen believers...

Thinking of Zhu's alliance with Guizhen Sect, Emperor Yongtai couldn't help sneering: Zhu's is so stupid to join forces with Guizhen Sect, even if Ajia doesn't destroy them, Zhu's will be swallowed up by Guizhen Sect sooner or later!

Thinking of Lin Jia, Emperor Yongtai thought of the fetus in Yu Shi's womb, and a smile appeared on his thin face - before he knew it, A Jia was going to be a father!

Thinking of Lin Jia's feelings for Yushi, Emperor Yongtai was a little worried again, staring at the snow-white pear blossom in front of him, slowly thinking about the solution to the problem.

Yu Shi is good at everything, beautiful enough, smart enough, and infatuated with Ajia, but her background is not good...

At this time, a little eunuch came over: "Your Majesty, Concubine Shu has obtained an ancient inkstone, and I'm here to let Your Majesty appreciate it!"

Emperor Yongtai liked to collect ancient inkstones and laughed when he heard this: "Xuan!"

After a while, the little eunuch led Concubine Li Shu over.

Concubine Li Shu was quite gorgeously dressed today, wearing a ruby ​​corolla on her head and a red palace attire, she walked over surrounded by maids and officials.

Emperor Yongtai looked over casually, but his eyes fell on the beautiful maid holding the inkstone behind Concubine Li Shu—is there such a Shuyan person in the world?
The maid seemed to have noticed Emperor Yongtai's gaze, and looked up, her eyes were as clear as water, her nose bridge was straight, and her lips were bright red.

Noticing the emperor's gaze, she was not shy, but smiled slightly, and then turned into a respectful and solemn look again, as if the smile just now was an illusion.

Concubine Li Shu noticed that Emperor Yongtai's eyes had been on Zhao Yuru all the time, and she couldn't help smiling—Emperor Yongtai was always not good at women, and there were only a few concubines in the palace, but he only had a special liking for Jiang Shuyan, the concubine of Xingping County. Zhao Yuru was born like Jiang Shuyan, Her family is now in the hands of Li Fu, so don't worry about her not giving her life!
Seeing Concubine Li Shu's smile, Emperor Yongtai felt lost and looked away.

After entering the Yutang Hall, Concubine Li Shu signaled Zhao Yuru to follow with the ancient inkstone, and followed Emperor Yongtai into the side hall that was used as a study.

Emperor Yongtai wanted to try the inkstone, Concubine Li Shu covered her mouth and smiled: "Your Majesty, my concubine is not interested in pens, inks, papers and inkstones, let Yuru accompany you, she is a genuinely talented woman!"

"Yuru?" Emperor Yongtai looked up at Zhao Yuru.

Zhao Yuru smiled confidently at Emperor Yongtai.

Emperor Yongtai seemed to have seen Jiang Shuyan's shadow, lowered his eyes and said, "Come and write a song of Su Shi's "Fixing the Storm" and let me have a look!"

Zhao Yuru answered "Yes" emphatically, and stepped forward without any stage fright.

Seeing this, Concubine Li Shu retreated quietly.

That night, Zhao Yuru stayed overnight in Yutang Hall and left at dawn.

After returning to Youlan Palace, Concubine Li Shu sent Zhao Yuru to brave the rain to send the Four Treasures of Study to the Li Manor as rewards for the princes of the Li Manor as if nothing had happened.

After lunch, Yuzhi got up after tilting slightly for a while.

Lin Jia is not in the capital, and now she is the one who decides in the mansion.Yuzhi cherishes the fetus in her womb very much, and does not dare to be too tired, so she decides to take a nap every day to deal with the affairs of the government.

It was raining outside, and although it was March, it was very cold.

Under the service of Han Lin and Ye Ling, Yuzhi put on a bi-color embroidered pear-blossom jacket, and then helped them go to Mingjian.

Ye Bi offered a cup of pear tea, and after Yu Zhi ate it slowly, she said: "Aunt Qi, Steward Li is waiting outside!"

Yuzhi put down the plain porcelain cup: "Invite him in quickly!"

She is an idler, but Li Rui is a busy person, so she cannot waste Li Rui's time.

After Li Rui came in, his gaze was like water, and he glanced at the waiters around him.

Yuzhi knew that Li Rui had something important to say, so she said with a smile: "You guys go out first, and stay on guard in the corridor!"

Han Lin and Ye Ling and Ye Bi replied "yes" before they backed out.

When the gauze curtain on the door fell, Li Rui took a step forward and said in a low voice: "Auntie, yesterday Concubine Li Shu brought the Zhao Yuru who was sent to the palace by the Li family years ago to the front of the imperial court. His Majesty was lucky to have Zhao Yuru last night, but today Early in the morning, Concubine Li Shu sent Zhao Yuru out of the palace to the Li residence to deliver rewards!"

Yuzhi thought for a while, then raised her eyes to Li Rui: "What's so special about that Zhao Yuru?"

As far as she knew, Emperor Yongtai had always been averse to women, so why would he be so lucky to see Zhao Yuru that night?
Li Rui's face became serious: "Zhao Yuru is very similar to the adult's mother, Concubine Jiang!"

Yu Zhi frowned upon hearing this.

Could it be that His Majesty loves Concubine Jiang because he loves the house and the crow so much that he loves Lin Jia so much?

Lin Jia was born so similar to Emperor Yongtai, could it be that he is...

Li Rui didn't say a word, just stood there quietly, waiting for Yuzhi's order.

Yuzhi let out a breath slowly.

Her idea is very simple, she and Lin Jia will definitely make full use of Emperor Yongtai's love and trust for Lin Jia.

The prerequisite for Emperor Yongtai's love and trust in Lin Jia is that Emperor Yongtai has no prince.

Yuzhi looked at Li Rui and asked a crucial question: "What kind of reward did Zhao Yuru send to Li's residence? Is it a reward for the male master of Li's residence or a reward for the female relatives?"

The woman who had just been blessed by His Majesty was sent to the Li Mansion as if nothing had happened. Yuzhi felt that she might not have thought much about it.

Li Rui also realized something, and his clear pair became darker.

His eyes were not too big, but the eyeballs were big and black. Coupled with the thick and long eyelashes, they looked as black as black gemstones, very beautiful.

After a while, Li Rui said: "The people we put in Li's residence have a lower status in the Li's residence, and the information that came out only said that the rewards were pens, inks, papers and inkstones."

Yuzhi laughed and said, "The pen, ink, paper and inkstone are naturally used by men. If you let them see, how long has Zhao Yuru stayed in Li's residence!"

She straightened her back and said softly, "Your Majesty has not been able to impregnate any of the concubines for so many years. Maybe Concubine Li Shu asked Zhao Yuru to go to the Li Mansion to borrow seeds so that she could plant them on His Majesty!"

Li Rui thought for a moment, and then said: "Your Majesty was injured while hunting more than ten years ago, so none of the concubines in the palace have been pregnant for so many years."

Yuzhi lowered her eyes and thought deeply when she heard the words.

After a while, Li Rui asked, "Do you want to expose Zhao Yuru?"

"Why expose it now?" Yuzhi smiled slyly, "When Zhao Yuru's belly grows bigger, and then expose it, the crimes of Concubine Li Shu and the Li family will be the crime of deceiving the emperor!"

After discussing this matter, Li Rui said: "Auntie, it's time for Mr. Bai to attend the test!"

When Yuzhi heard this, her thick and beautiful eyebrows frowned again.

She heard that in order to prevent entrainment, candidates participating in the examination were not allowed to bring warm clothes such as cotton coats, fur coats, and jackets into the examination room, and could only enter the examination room in single clothes, even if they wore several layers of single clothes.

Now the weather is so wet and cold, the exam environment is so bad, and the exam will be held in three sessions, one session on three days, the first session will be on the ninth day of the lunar month, the second session will be on the [-]th day, and the third session will be on the [-]th day. Enter the field one day, exit the field the next day, and last for several days.

Her elder brother Bai Yuming studied since he was a child, and his body is weak. He wondered if he could pass such an exam.

Seeing Yuzhi like this, Li Rui knew that she was worried about Bai Yuming, so he hurriedly said, "There are still two more days, maybe the sky will be sunny!"

He pondered for a moment, and then said: "Why don't you wear more layers of unlined clothing, and before entering the arena, I will personally prepare the small charcoal stove, dry food and ginseng wine!"

Yuzhi hummed, and said: "Go and explain, don't let my parents bother my brother these few days, they will only make my brother more nervous!"

After Li Rui left, Yuzhi got up and slowly walked out of the bright room, standing on the porch watching the spring rain outside.

She knew what was on Lin Jia's mind. She must have a family that she could handle, and now her hope rested on her brother.

But Yuzhi has always been very good at regulating emotions, she has already thought about it, if Bai Yuming fails in the test this time, she will ask Lin Jia to arrange Bai Yuming to be a small officer in the military department, as long as Bai Yuming does well, Lin Jia will be there , can always go up.

The next day, Huguo really stopped, and Yuzhi was overjoyed, so she went to the inner study to write to Lin Jia.

She was writing a letter when Jin'er's voice came from outside: "Auntie, Housekeeper Li is here!"

The news that Li Rui brought was not big or small——Lin Jia's grandfather's family had returned to the capital!

Lin Jia's uncle Jiang Shulin was ordered to return to the capital to serve as Minister of the Ministry of War. Lin Jia's grandfather Jiang Yuntian and second uncle Jiang Shuzhen also moved back to the capital with their family.

Yuzhi pondered for a moment, then said with a smile: "Li Rui, prepare a generous gift and send it to Li's residence in the name of your lord!"

Jiang Fu and Lin Jia have a close relationship, she loves her house as much as her own, and she must not only be courteous to Jiang Fu, but also do her best.
