Queen's Development

Chapter 174 Triumph
Yuzhi was a little embarrassed, reached out and took the handkerchief to wipe away her tears.

She didn't like to cry at all before, but after she got pregnant, for some reason, she cried more times than all the years before she got pregnant...

Seeing Yuzhi weeping, Ah Qing felt a little distressed, the joy on her face gradually faded away, and she stood there with her eyes downcast.

Yuzhi hurriedly asked: "Ah Qing, can I go see you?"

She really wanted to see Lin Jia!

Seeing Yuzhi's eyes full of longing, Ah Qing had the heart to refuse?

But he thought about it for a while, and said: "Qi aunt, the commander-in-chief specifically explained that aunt is pregnant, the ride in the car is too bumpy, and the distance in the sedan chair is too far, so tell my subordinates so that aunt can stay at home with peace of mind." Wait, the commander-in-chief will be back soon!"

When Yu Zhi heard this, although she clearly knew that Ah Qing's words were reasonable, she was still a little unhappy.

Seeing Yuzhi frowning, Ah Qing hurriedly lowered her head.

Seeing that Ah Qing was dark and thin, and looked a little tired, Yuzhi knew that he was also very tired from the journey, so she hurriedly smiled and said: "Ah Qing, go down and have a rest!"

Ah Qing agreed, bowed again, and then retreated.

It's hot in summer and the sun is scorching hot outside, but the Yutang Hall is very cool because of the ice.

Knowing that Lin Jia had set up camp in the Xinghua Camp in the west of the city to wait for the decree, Emperor Yongtai was delighted, got up and walked around in the hall, thinking about a very important matter.

Concubine Zhao was leaning on the couch beside her, her abdomen was already swollen, seeing Emperor Yongtai so happy, her eyes darkened, and she lazily said: "Your Majesty, this concubine is already pregnant, and sooner or later I will give birth to Lin'er for you, Lin Jia is just the son of a county king, why are you doing this!"

When Emperor Yongtai heard the words, he looked at Concubine Zhao in surprise, but didn't say much.

How can other people compare with his Ajia?Even the emperor's heir in Concubine Zhao's womb!
Seeing that Emperor Yongtai was silent, Zhao Guifei remembered the advice of Princess Li and Mrs. Li Zhong, and thought of the fetus in her womb, so she smiled and said: "Your Majesty, Lin Jia now holds 40 troops, and they are all from my Great Zhou Dynasty. The most elite army, Your Majesty, aren't you afraid of Lin Jia..."

She stared at Emperor Yongtai with calculations in her clear eyes, and slowly uttered two words - "rebellion".

Emperor Yongtai narrowed his phoenix eyes, which were exactly the same as Lin Jia, and stared at Concubine Zhao without saying a word.

The atmosphere in Yutang Hall gradually cooled down, but a fine layer of sweat appeared on Concubine Zhao Gui's back.

After a while, Emperor Yongtai sat down on the imperial couch, lowered his eyes and said indifferently: "This world will be his in the future, why is he plotting rebellion?"

This was the first time that Emperor Yongtai clearly stated that he would pass on the throne to Lin Jia, and Concubine Zhao's face turned pale when she heard this.

After a while, she got up and fell at the feet of Emperor Yongtai, looked up at Emperor Yongtai, her eyes were full of tears, and her delicate lips trembled slightly looking at Emperor Yongtai: "Your Majesty! Your Majesty! You gave the world to your nephew Lin Jia, But what about your own flesh and blood?"

She put her hands on her slightly protruding abdomen, and tears rolled down her beautiful face: "Your Majesty, Lin Jia is cunning and insidious. If he inherits the throne, he will definitely be wary of His Majesty's own flesh and blood. When the time comes... How should the concubine and your flesh and blood deal with each other?"

Emperor Yongtai stared at Concubine Zhao Guifei's face covered with pear blossoms, and said calmly: "Ajia... is sinister and cunning?"

Concubine Zhao hugged Emperor Yongtai's legs tightly: "Your Majesty, who doesn't know that Lin Jia is insidious and cunning, and you are the only one who has been deceived by him, Your Majesty!"

Emperor Yongtai sneered, and said: "If Ajia is insidious and cunning, I can rest assured!"

After finishing speaking, he raised his head and looked at Eunuch Ding who was standing beside him: "The imperial concubine has suffered from heat stroke and is talking nonsense, send her back to have a good rest!"

Eunuch Ding answered "yes".

Concubine Zhao Guifei did not expect Emperor Yongtai to look like this, tears rolled down her eyes, she looked up at Emperor Yongtai, but she didn't dare to say any more, and went back surrounded by court ladies and officials.

Yutangdian fell silent all of a sudden, and Emperor Yongtai walked slowly to the long carved window, looking at the scorching sun outside, and ordered the eunuch Yang Wen who was standing by the side to wait: "Go to pass on my will, and the Grand Marshal Lin Jia of Dingxi will come tomorrow." See you at the Qianjin Palace early, and let all the generals under his command come too!"

Yang Wen answered "Yes".

At dawn the next day, Yang Wen led Lin Jia and other generals to Yutang Hall.

Hearing Yang Wen's reply, a smile appeared on Emperor Yongtai's thin face, and he stood up directly: "Xuan!"

A moment later, Lin Jia walked in, dressed in silver armor, with a bag in the crook of her left arm, knelt down on one knee and saluted: "Greetings to Uncle Huang!"

Emperor Yongtai stared at Lin Jia and found that Lin Jia had become thinner and darker, but she seemed to have grown taller and stronger than before.

A smile flashed across his pale face, and his eyes were a little moist: "Ajia, get up, come and sit by my side!"

Lin Jia smiled shyly, handed the pocket to Yang Wen, walked to Emperor Yongtai's couch, and sat down next to Emperor Yongtai.

Emperor Yongtai stretched out his hand to hold Lin Jia's right hand, and found that his previously white and delicate hand had become black and rough, and there were some fine wounds. come out!"

Lin Jia stretched out both hands obediently, the left hand was the same as the right hand.

Emperor Yongtai almost burst into tears.

Everyone is selfish, he would just frown when other people's children died in battle, and his own children would feel as if they were suffering a little bit.

He raised his eyes and told Eunuch Ding: "Don't bring the ointment for your hands!"

Eunuch Ding answered "yes" and hurried to the inner hall.

Seeing the tears in Emperor Yongtai's eyes, Lin Jia couldn't help being surprised: "What kind of injury is this! I—"

Emperor Yongtai stared at him: "What's wrong with you?"

Lin Jia pursed her lips and refused to say any more.

Emperor Yongtai knew Lin Jia well, and immediately said: "Tell me honestly!"

Lin Jia didn't speak, and looked away in annoyance at the decoration on the dome of the hall.

Yang Wen stood waiting below, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, when the servant went to announce the decree, I heard that Master Lin was injured on his back!"

Hearing this, Emperor Yongtai hurriedly looked at Lin Jia, and saw that he was thinner and darker than before, but his phoenix eyes were quiet, with a kind of charm of his own, so he frowned and said, "Ajia, let me see your face." Wound!"

Lin Jiaxiu frowned slightly, and looked at Emperor Yongtai with black phoenix eyes. Seeing that Emperor Yongtai refused to give up, she finally thought for a while, got up, and took off the silver armor on her body under Yang Wen's service.

Emperor Yongtai sighed when he saw Lin Jia's body became thinner after taking off his armor.

Lin Jia thought for a while, then lifted the white silk jacket, revealing the wound on the right waist, and pursed her lips for Emperor Yongtai to admire.

Emperor Yongtai watched quietly.

Lin Jia's wound was about two fingers long. The wound was deep and hadn't fully healed yet.
Looking at Lin Jia's wound, Emperor Yongtai burst into tears—this child really suffered!
Seeing Emperor Yongtai's tears, Lin Jiafeng's eyes flashed with surprise—Uncle Huang seemed to be too kind to me, more like my own father than my own father, my own father definitely did not react like this when he saw my wound!
Seeing that Lin Jia's wound had already been smeared with medicine, Emperor Yongtai didn't say any more, and personally put down Lin Jia's white silk jacket, let Lin Jia sit down on the imperial couch, and then ordered Yang Wen: "Give me the Bring over the dress prepared by Ajia!"

Yang Wen answered "Yes" and stepped back.

Lin Jia was a little surprised: Huh?What dress?
Emperor Yongtai didn't say much, and when Eunuch Ding brought the ointment, he first cleaned his hands with soap, then dug out some ointment, spread it on the backs of Lin Jia's hands, and rubbed it carefully.

Lin Jia couldn't help laughing: "Uncle Huang, I am no longer a child!"

Emperor Yongtai lowered his head and focused on applying the medicine, and said: "But in my eyes, you will always be a child!"

Lin Jia: "..." My father never cared about me this much!

He was actually a little moved.

It didn't take long for Yang Wen to come back, followed by a string of maids holding red sandalwood trays, on which were a full set of royal crown dresses.

Lin Jia was completely stunned, and looked up at Emperor Yongtai: "Uncle Huang, this is—"

Emperor Yongtai smiled slightly: "Ajia, it's time to go to court early, after changing the dress, let's go to the Zichen Palace with me, all the officials are waiting!"

Lin Jia understood in her heart at this time, her nose was sore, her eyes were moist, and she looked at Emperor Yongtai with tears in her eyes: "Uncle Huang——"

Emperor Yongtai reached out and touched his head, and said with a smile: "You child, it's time to change your mouth!"

After all the officials stood up, Eunuch Ding turned the golden hook and opened the curtain.

After Shanhu Long live, the officials looked up and saw a red sandalwood carved treasure chair in front of Emperor Yongtai, sitting on it was a tall and slender young man with a black face, handsome eyebrows, phoenix eyes, high nose and moon lips. Marshal Lin Jia!

The ministers looked at Emperor Yongtai and Lin Jia who were seven or eight points similar in birth, and they all had a bold guess in their hearts, and they all "thumped" in their hearts, not daring to think about it anymore.

The privy envoy Li Qingze stood at the head of the generals' ranks, looking at Lin Jia who was aloof, his eyes darkened, and he almost fainted, repeating a sentence in his heart: "It's over!"

And the Prime Minister Yu Yizhou, who stood at the head of the line of civil servants, smiled in his eyes—it seemed that the marriage he had discussed with His Majesty could be implemented!
And Jiang Shulin, who was standing behind the boat, had moist eyes——Jiang has waited too long for this day!

With a smile in his eyes, Emperor Yongtai said slowly: "Since I ascended the throne, my knees have been empty and I have never had an heir. To comfort the spirit of Lin's ancestors in heaven, I decided to make Lin Jia my heir!"

Li Qingze refused to sit still, so he gave his party members a wink.

His henchmen received the cue and made gestures to speak up.

Seeing that the ministers were eager to speak up, Emperor Yongtai said: "I have already decided on this matter, there is no need to discuss it again!"

Following the sentence "If there is something to do, go to work and play early, and if there is nothing to do, the curtain will be drawn and the court will be withdrawn", the officials retreated like a tide.

After returning to the mansion, Li Qingze looked at all the cronies, and said slowly: "Lin Jia is only your majesty's heir, your majesty is in the prime of life, and the imperial concubine is pregnant, what I have to do is to make this heir never be Prince!"

His henchmen all agreed: "Your Excellency said so!"

It was not until the morning that Li Rui came back with Ah Lan and reported the news that Lin Jia had entered the palace to meet the saint.

Knowing that Lin Jia had been proclaimed into the palace, Yuzhi was both nervous and happy, her heart pounding.

When she thought of seeing Lin Jia, she felt a sense of homelessness, restless, and finally got up and walked around in the bright room.

Han Lin, Ye Ling and Ye Bi who were waiting in the room all laughed when they saw each other.

Yuzhi was also a little embarrassed, she called Jin'er in with a smile, and ordered: "Go and make me a Maojian!"

Jin'er smiled and agreed, and soon brewed a cup of Maojian and sent it over.

Yuzhi took the bisque silver-rimmed bowl from Jin'er, picked up the bowl lid to remove the floating green buds, and took a sip.

The tea liquid is green, with a clear and slightly bitter taste, but a sweet aftertaste. It is Yuzhi and Lin Jia's favorite Yuqianmaojian.

After drinking a cup of tea, Yu Zhi had already calmed down. First, she ordered Jin'er to go to the small kitchen to tell Jin Erniang to prepare a few delicate dishes, and then asked Ye Linghanlin and the others to help her freshen up.

Unexpectedly, Yuzhi was preparing food and drinks, and she was dressed in a very delicate and charming way, but she waited from morning to noon, from noon to afternoon, and from afternoon to evening, Lin Jia never came back.

She sent Li Rui into the palace to inquire, only to learn that Emperor Yongtai took Lin Jia to meet the cabinet ministers, and it is estimated that after seeing the cabinet ministers, Yongtai Emperor will give a banquet.

After hearing Li Rui's reply, Yuzhi sighed in disappointment, pouted and said, "Oh, I'll continue to wait for him!"

After Haishi, Lin Jia hadn't come back yet, and Yu Zhi was leaning on the brocade couch in front of the bedroom window, reading a book while waiting for Lin Jia.

The weather in May is extremely hot during the day, but cool and quiet at night. Occasionally, one or two bird calls break the silence of the night.

Seeing that the time was approaching, Yuzhi was really too tired, so she got up and prepared to rest.

At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps outside.
