Queen's Development

Chapter 179

Li Rui was very thorough in his work. He was busy and did not forget to send a letter to Xinghua Hutong to inform Bai Yuming about the birth of Yuzhi.

In the Xinghua Hutong at night in summer, the alleys are covered with apricot trees, covering the moonlight.

A Lan brought two young men to ride Ma Xinghua Alley, and couldn't help sighing in his heart: Fortunately, the butler let us bring wind lanterns—this alley is too dark!

After finally arriving at the door of a family, Ah Lan got off the horse, threw the reins to the boy, and knocked on the door with the whip in his right hand.

After a while, a question came from inside: "Who?"

Ah Lan recognized that it was Ah Zhu's voice, and immediately smiled at the red painted door: "It's me, Ah Lan!"

The door opened quickly, and a handsome young man in clothes held up a lamp and looked at it. It was Ah Zhu, the servant that Li Rui had arranged to enter the white house.

Seeing A Lan standing outside in a dark gauze robe, Ah Zhu laughed: "Brother A Lan, my uncle is still awake and studying in the study!"

A Lan hurriedly said: "My lord gave you to Lord Bai, you have to change your words!"

Ah Zhu knew that Ah Lan was upright, so he hurriedly said respectfully: "Yes, I always listen to Brother Ah Lan!"

Only then did Ah Lan lift his legs and walk forward.

A'Zhu followed behind A'lan, sticking out her tongue mischievously.

The front yard of the white house is quite exquisite. There is a large bamboo grove in the courtyard, rustling in the night wind, and a faint yellow halo is faintly seen through the screen window in the west dark room of the main room.

A'Zhu hurriedly reported: "My lord, Lin lord has sent Brother Alan here!"

Bai Yuming was originally writing in the study in the west dark room, when he heard this, he hurriedly said, "Come in, please!"

As he spoke, he hurried towards Mingjian.

Ah Lan entered the open room, and looked up to see a young man with black hair and a loose white robe standing there. His eyes were big and black, his nose was straight, and the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned. He was the male version of Aunt Yu. He bowed his hands and saluted: " I've seen Uncle...Master Bai!"

Bai Yuming's eyes were clear: "My sister—"

Alan hurriedly said: "My lord, my aunt will activate it at night, and the housekeeper ordered the younger one to report to you!"

When Bai Yuming heard the words, he felt joyful and worried at the same time, and immediately said, "I'll go there now!" '

Alan quickly looked at Bai Yuming: "My lord, you—"

Bai Yuming realized that his appearance was not suitable for going out, so he hurriedly went to the bedroom to change.

Because he was worried about Yuzhi, he moved quickly, and walked out after a while, wearing a black gauze headband on his head, a white silk round-neck casual robe, and a black belt around his waist. His eyes were clear and handsome. His face is calm, his figure is tall, and his temperament is very calm.

Because of his impatience, Bai Yuming rode his horse away in a hurry. Even so, he, Alan and others still galloped for [-] quarters of an hour before arriving at the Lin Mansion in Yanqingfang.

The gate of Lin's Mansion was brightly lit, and outside stood rows of forbidden soldiers in full armor with swords hanging from their waists.

Bai Yuming was quite surprised - didn't you hear that His Majesty handed over the Imperial Army to Lin Jia?

It was Ye Chunshan, the leader of the forbidden army, who was leading the forbidden army.

Ye Chunshan naturally knew Bai Yuming and Alan, and without further ado, he let Alan take Bai Yuming into the Lin residence through the corner gate.

After entering the gate, Bai Yuming realized that the battle in the mansion was even bigger. Jade White House lanterns were hung everywhere, and the heavily armed imperial guards stood at every step.

He realized that Emperor Yongtai had come to the Lin Mansion, and his heart couldn't help beating, almost jumping out of his throat.

As a newly promoted Hanlin, Bai Yuming has seen Emperor Yongtai several times, and he is not afraid.

What he was worried about was that Emperor Yongtai loved and trusted Lin Jia so much that he even came out of the palace to visit Lin Jia's first child. His favor was not insignificant, but what if Yu Zhi gave birth to a daughter instead of a son?
Because of his own affairs, Bai Yuming was well aware of the patriarchal patriarchal custom in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and was worried that Yuzhi would give birth to a daughter. Emperor Yongtai was disappointed and angered Yuzhi.

He took a deep breath, followed Alan along the east corridor towards Tingsongyuan with big strides, thinking about how to mediate for Yuzhi.

Lin Jia didn't know what it was like in her heart, she just felt that all the strength in her body had been sucked away, her legs were weak, and her footsteps floated into the bedroom.

Mr. Liu was watching the midwife bathing the newborn with a golden basin. Seeing Lin Jia coming in, he smiled and saluted, "Congratulations, Aunt Yu has added a son to you!"

Lin Jia actually didn't have so many obsessions with his son and daughter, but he knew that it would be in the best interest of Yuzhi if the first child was a son, so he knew that he should be happy, but before he saw Yuzhi was safe and sound with his own eyes, his mind went crazy Blank, no thoughts.

Seeing Lin Jia approaching, the midwife and Han Lin who were waiting on Yuzhi stepped aside.

Lin Jia walked to the bed and leaned over to look at Yuzhi.

At this time, Yuzhi's forehead was covered with sweat, her hair was also wet, and her underwear was also soaked with sweat.

She was so exhausted that she was about to collapse. When she saw Lin Jia approaching, she couldn't help feeling grievance welling up in her heart. She looked at Lin Jia coquettishly with full eyes: "Ajia—"

Lin Jia felt infinite pity in her heart, stretched out her hand to hold Yuzhi's hand, and said softly: "Yuzhi—"

For some reason, his eyes were moist.

Seeing Lin Jia's wet eyelashes and black phoenix eyes, Yuzhi couldn't help laughing, and said weakly, "Ajia, bring the child here and let me have a look..."

Lin Jia agreed, and hurriedly ordered the midwife to bring the baby over.

The midwife happily wrapped the baby in swaddling clothes, carried it to the bed for Lin Jia and Yu Zhi to look at, and said: "Your Excellency and Auntie gave birth well, and the young master is also good-looking, very neat!"

Lin Jia leaned over to take a look, and saw that the baby in Baolan's swaddling baby had black and thick hair, but his skin was red and wrinkled, his eyes were only slits, and his nose was so big that it almost took up one-third of his face. Yuzhi is nothing like it!

Yuzhi hurriedly said, "Ajia, I want to see it!"

Lin Jia said in her heart, "This child is so ugly", but she didn't dare to show it on her face. She was afraid that Yuzhi would be sad, so she took the swaddling baby carefully, and lifted the child to Yuzhi's body with stiff arms.

Looking at the little red-skinned little monkey, Yuzhi's heart melted, and she murmured: "It's so cute, my sweetheart..."

Lin Jia: "..." How cute is this clown? !
Yuzhi hugged the child and admired it for a while, full of motherly love, but still did not forget to consider her son, and said to Lin Jia in a very soft voice: "Ajia, take the child to show your majesty, please majesty Give me a name!"

Although Lin Jia felt that his son was born ugly, but for some reason, looking at his son who looked like a red-skinned monkey, his heart was warm and soft, and he wished he could lean over and kiss him.

He carefully held the baby in his swaddling clothes, and went out to show Emperor Yongtai that he had bought it.

Ever since Lin Jia entered the bedroom, Emperor Yongtai sat on the Arhat bed and began to imagine: My grandson will definitely be like Ajia with red phoenix eyes, high nose, upturned lips, tall figure and long legs, no matter how he looks, he will be white and Tender and cute...

He was imagining the little grandson in his heart as the most handsome and cutest baby in the world, so Lin Jia came out with her baby in her arms.

Emperor Yongtai hurriedly got up and said, "Ajia, how is the emperor's grandson? Does he look like you?"

Lin Jia: "...Father, you're not like me, you're like a little monkey!"

Emperor Yongtai let out an "ah".

Lin Jia walked over with the baby in her arms as carefully as if she was holding a rare jewel, and said bitterly, "A line of sky eyes, a big bulbous nose, an extremely small mouth, toad legs...it's really ugly!"

Emperor Yongtai had mixed feelings in his heart, and went to Lin Jia's side to see the newborn emperor's grandson.

He had never seen a newborn baby before. Seeing that the baby was really as described by Lin Jia, he couldn't help being very puzzled. He looked at Eunuch Ding: "The child's father and mother are so handsome? How can he be so ugly?"

Eunuch Ding smiled and said: "Your Majesty, when the prince was born, didn't you send your servants to Ganzhou to see him? It looks like the little emperor's grandson! With thin eyes and a big nose, it would be great if the child grows up." !"

Emperor Yongtai looked at Lin Jia, then at the clown baby, and felt that the little emperor's grandson was still ugly, but he liked it no matter how he looked at it, and said with surprise on his face: "My little emperor's grandson still has two dimples! "

Although Lin Jia was happy, her reason was still there, and she immediately said, "Father, give your grandson a name!"

When Emperor Yongtai heard the words, he immediately looked at Eunuch Ding.

Eunuch Ding smiled and took out a neatly folded moonlight paper from his sleeve, unfolded it and presented it to Emperor Yongtai.

Emperor Yongtai showed it to Lin Jia: "This is the name I came up with during this time!"

Lin Jia handed the baby to the midwife, watched Ye Ling follow the midwife into the bedroom, then took the moonlight paper and looked at it, seeing not only boys' names, but also many girls' names, couldn't help laughing, said : "Father choose!"

Emperor Yongtai thought over and over again, and then said: "The little emperor's grandson is blessed with a long life, and the ancestral shade is deep, what is it called the shade of the forest?"

In the generation of the little prince, the names of the descendants of the royal family all start with cursive characters, so the names he chose in advance are all cursive characters. For example, the girls’ names are Lin Wei, Lin Zhi, Lin Zhi, and Lin Rui, and the boys’ names are all Lin Wei. Sun, Lin Mu, Lin Ying, Lin Su.

Lin Jia thought for a while and thought it was not bad, so she nodded and said, "It's much better than my name! My name is like a girl's name, so girly!"

After hearing Lin Jia's words, Eunuch Ding hurriedly lowered his head.

Emperor Yongtai: "...Your name was also chosen by me!"

Lin Jia: "..."

He said nonchalantly: "Father, I will take you back to the palace!"

Emperor Yongtai's health is no longer good now, and he is indeed a little tired, so he nodded immediately.

Because Emperor Yongtai was in Ming Dynasty, Bai Yuming had been waiting outside.

Ever since he knew that Yuzhi gave birth to a son, and that the mother and child were safe, his smile never faded away.

At this time, Prime Minister Yu Yizhou's mansion was not far from Lin's mansion. Yu Yizhou and his wife Zhuang Shi had already got up to freshen up.

The servant girl hurried in and said, "Master and Madam, news came from the study just now that Mrs. Lin's concubine Yushi gave birth to a little grandson for His Majesty!"

Hearing this, both Yu Yizhou and Zhuang's brows frowned.
