Queen's Development

Chapter 201
Jiang Zhen's beautiful eyes flowed, and her voice was mellow and pleasant: "Come in and talk!"

Shen's mother hurriedly answered "yes" respectfully, and obediently followed behind into the main room of the East Side Courtyard.

Although Jiang Zhen is young, she is the most outstanding granddaughter of the Jiang family. She is not only beautiful and dignified, but also smart and capable. When she was in Liaozhou, Mrs. Jiang surpassed her two daughters-in-law and handed over the housekeeping to Jiang Zhen.

When she was first in charge of the house, Jiang Zhen took care of a few housekeepers in order to establish her prestige, so Mother Shen was quite afraid of her.

Entering the main room, Jiang Zhen entered the bedroom in the east dark surrounded by several maids, and came out after a while. The hairpin ring on the hair bun had been removed, and the homely bun was re-combed, only wearing a With a white jade pearl hairpin, he also took off his big clothes, and only wore a plain white slim satin jacket and a pomegranate skirt. He looked like a flower branch, very slender.

Shen's mother was used to serving high-ranking families, so she stood quietly with a smile on her face and did not step forward.

Jiang Zhen sat down on the Arhat bed in a graceful manner.

The eldest maid, Lichun, came in with a golden basin filled with water, and the other three maids followed, carrying brocade handkerchiefs, towels scalded with boiling water, soap for washing face, balm for wiping face, and a target mirror.

Jiang Zhen sat there quietly.

Li Chun walked up to Jiang Zhen with a golden basin filled with warm water, knelt down, and raised the golden basin high with both hands.

Another big maid, Qingming, stepped forward and rolled up the sleeves of Jiang Zhensu's white satin jacket, and took off the red gold inlaid pearl bracelet on Jiang Zhen's wrist, and put it aside, then took a brocade handkerchief and unfolded it, Jiang Zhen's skirt was covered.

After Jiang Zhen finished washing her face, Qingming picked up the hot towel, gently wiped Jiang Zhen's face, took the balm, unscrewed the cap and handed it to Jiang Zhen.

Only then did Jiang Zhen do it herself, dug out some wax plum balm, and spread it evenly on her face.

Qingming picked up the target mirror and handed it to Jiang Zhen.

Jiang Zhen took the photo and felt that it was quite appropriate, so she said lightly: "Okay!"

Lichun and the others retreated.

Shen's mother knew that it was time for her to play, she immediately stepped forward and bowed her knees, smiled slightly and said: "My third girl is really a lady, with a different style, unlike that Yu Zhi, who was born as a slave and is very lowly, I wash my face in the bathroom by myself, and I don’t know that it is everyone’s dignity to be waited upon!”

When Jiang Zhen heard this, her peach blossom eyes were full of sparkles, and she took a look at Qingming.

Qingming understood, looked at Shen's mother immediately, and asked with a smile: "Mom, does Master Lin dote on Aunt Yu?"

Shen's mother has a small nose, small eyes and small mouth, but she has a very rich expression. She immediately made a contemptuous expression when she heard the words: "It's so spoiled, not only let Aunt Yu give birth to the eldest son Lin Yin, but also let Aunt Yu take care of you. Taking care of the housework in the mansion, all the money in and out of the mansion must go through Aunt Yu's hands, so Li Rui, the housekeeper of the outer courtyard, listens to Aunt Yu's words! An adult can press on her!"

Jiang Zhen felt that Shen's mother's words were vulgar and clearly insulted her good cousin, so she lowered her eyes and coughed lightly.

Qingming understood, immediately smiled and said: "You mother-in-law, why are you talking nonsense!"

Shen's mother smiled and slapped her face lightly: "The old woman talked nonsense and offended the third girl, and the girl will forgive me!"

Qingming glanced at Jiang Zhen, and asked again: "How does Master Lin treat the eldest son? Where is Your Majesty?"

Shen's mother heard the words and said mysteriously: "Miss Qi, the old lady overheard the nanny and maid last night saying that His Majesty made a wish in front of Lord Lin, saying that if Aunt Yu gave birth to three young masters, Lin My lord is helping Aunt Yu right!"

She glanced at Jiang Zhen, and continued: "At that time, the nanny was also living in the palace with the young master, so I heard about it!"

Hearing that Jiang Zhen's face was a little pale, but it was not obvious, she just sat upright and smiled.

She secretly made up her mind: This tree shade must not be kept, otherwise Yuzhi's mother is more expensive than her son, and I am afraid that it will affect my status in the future...

Thinking of this, Jiang Zhen said with a smile: "Since Mom is back, let's stay for two days before going back!"

She told Lichun again: "Give Mom 20 taels of silver!"

Shen's mother got the heavy 20 taels of silver, smiled and hugged her in her arms, bowed her knees and saluted, and then retreated.

When she was left in the room with her two confidants, Lichun and Qingming, Jiang Zhen said softly: "Qingming, go to Zhuyi Lane to see how those dresses are doing. Urge them, be sure to bring them the day after tomorrow!"

Qingming hurriedly said: "Girl, the dress worn by the smallpox patient can't be brought back with a bag, right?"

Jiang Zhen's face was calm and calm: "Didn't you already explain it? Let them put it in a box and wrap it with silk and satin outside. Don't touch your hands!"

Qingming was terrified, and answered "Yes" with a trembling voice.

Two days later, Mother Shen came to bid farewell to Jiang Zhen.

Jiang Zhen ordered Qingming to bring out a box wrapped in bright red satin, and said with a smile, "There is a dress inside, the material is very good, and it was worn by the masters. You will wear it when you return to the Lin residence, it must be special." Eye-catching!"

Shen's mother proudly said: "That's natural, that Aunt Yu treated me very meanly, I happened to wear it to listen to Songyuan and let her take a good look!"

Jiang Zhen smiled and said a few more words, and said: "Since the Yu family is in charge of the Lin family now, then you should curry favor with the Yu family, wear new clothes and go to Songyuan for a walk. Act like you love Lin Yu, touch your cheeks, or touch your head, if you can hug her, that would be even better, then Yushi will like you too!"

Shen's mother agreed deeply, smiled and agreed, and left.

Jiang Zhen watched Shen's mother leave, with a smile on her lips, and lazily said: "Let's go, please go to grandma, and I have to arrange father's birthday banquet!"

At this moment, the maid Gu Yu sent a post: "Girl, Miss Yu from the Prime Minister's Mansion invites you to meet at Chunmanlou by the canal tomorrow!"

Jiang Zhen took the post, looked at it and said with a smile: "Go and reply to the person who sent the post, just say that I will definitely be there tomorrow!"

In the evening, Yuzhi was looking at the food box that Jin'er had just sent in her room, when Li Rui's voice came from outside: "Auntie, my lord went directly to the Canal Palace from the barracks, please come and pick you up!"

Because of the shady trees, Emperor Yongtai awarded the canal palace to Yuzhi.

Lin Jia ordered Li Rui to tidy up, and took Yuzhi to rest for a day in his busy schedule.

Thinking of meeting Lin Jia in a new place, Yu Zhi was very happy and her heart was pounding. She told Ye Bi and Jin Er to stay and take care of Lin Yin, and only took Han Lin and Ye Ling out.

She hadn't been to the Canal Palace yet, and she was worried that something would bump into the shade, so she didn't bring the shade.

However, she and Lin Jia planned to return to the city tomorrow afternoon, so there was nothing serious about it.

Under the guard of Li Rui and a group of guards, the carriage left the west city gate and arrived at the Canal Palace.

After entering the Canal Palace, Yuzhi's carriage drove straight to the gate of a courtyard, and then stopped.

In front is a moon gate covered with vines such as Lingxiao and Xueli.

Li Rui led Yuzhi into the Moon Gate, walked along the white stone-paved corridor, and entered a lush and endless bamboo forest. In the depths of the bamboo forest was an exquisite small building made of emerald green bamboo.

After entering the small building, Li Rui retreated to invite Lin Jia outside.

Ye Ling and Han Lin opened the food box, took out some delicate wine and vegetables, put them on the square table made of bamboo, and set the jug and cups before retreating.

Yuzhi walked to the window and found that there was a bamboo forest outside. The breeze blew, the bamboo forest swayed, and the bamboo leaves made a rustling sound in the wind. Yuzhi's nose was filled with the clear bamboo fragrance, and her mood suddenly calmed down.

There was a sound of light footsteps coming from behind.

Yuzhi heard Lin Jia's footsteps.

Soon, someone hugged her from behind, and the cool mint fragrance surrounded Yuzhi.

It's Lin Jia.

Yuzhi closed her eyes.

Lin Jia's soft and warm lips kept falling on Yuzhi's hair, neck and cheeks, making her tremble all over.

After a while, Yuzhi couldn't bear it any longer and turned to look up at Lin Jia.

Lin Jia looked down at her, with watery eyes and shortness of breath.

Ever since he was injured, Yu Zhi kept ignoring him for fear of affecting his healing. Lin Jia couldn't take it anymore.

Yu Zhi stretched out her hand to touch Lin Jia's face, Lin Jia's face was fair and delicate, Yu Zhi felt soft when she touched it, her hand gradually slipped down, and soon penetrated into the lapel of Lin Jia's brocade robe.

Lin Jia bent down to pick up Yuzhi, and went straight into the bedroom.

The bedroom is extremely exquisite, the furniture is all made of bamboo, the curtains are all made of delicate blue organdy, and the bed quilt and pillow are all made of blue soft silk.

Lin Jia put Yuzhi on the bed and lay down on her side.

Yuzhi looked sideways at Lin Jia with a smile.

Lin Jia also looked at her, her phoenix eyes covered by long eyelashes were radiant and full of tenderness.

Yuzhi was about to get up and push Lin Jia down, but just as she got up, she remembered that Lin Jia had an injury on her back, so she lay back down again, and said charmingly, "Ajia, today you are on top!"

Lin Jia rolled over and landed on top of her.

Yuzhi stared at Lin Jia.

Lin Jia has delicate skin, thick eyebrows and eyelashes, straight nose, bright red and moist lips, she is really beautiful.

With a heartbeat, Yuzhi raised her head to meet Lin Jia, and kissed her vigorously.

After the spring breeze twice, Lin Jia hugged Yuzhi and fell asleep.

Yuzhi closed her eyes to calm down.

Lin Jia embraced Yu Zhi from behind, and said in a low voice, "This time... maybe you are already pregnant..."

Yuzhi smiled hazily: "How could it be so accurate..."

Before she finished speaking, she had already fallen into a boundless sweet dreamland...

Lin Jia hugged Yuzhi, kissed her on the neck, and soon fell asleep.

In the morning of the next day, Lin Jia really put aside her official duties and concentrated on accompanying Yuzhi in the palace.

After playing enough in the palace, he took Yuzhi to the canal again.

Li Rui and Jackdaw brought the imperial guards in casual clothes to guard Lin Jia and Yu Zhi.

Today's weather is fine, the autumn sun is warm, the sky is blue, the canal embankment is lush with woods, the fragrance of osmanthus in the evening, and the blooming of plum blossoms in the early stage. The pavilions and pavilions are located among the pine forests, which are as beautiful as pictures.

There are row upon row of restaurants by the canal, wine flags flying, people coming and going on the official road in front of the restaurants, cars and horses rumbling, it is very lively.

On the brocade couch in front of the window of the private room on the second floor of Chunman Building, Yu Mingyue and Jiang Zhen sat facing each other, chatting, drinking tea, and admiring the pleasant view of the canal outside the window.

At this moment, Yu Mingyue suddenly said: "Sister Jiang, look out of the window!"

Jiang Zhen looked outside, and found that there were people coming and going on the official road below, but she still saw a group of people in the crowd at a glance. The man was about 20 years old, tall and slender, wearing a black veil , wearing a frost-coloured Confucian gown with a cross-collar, and a pair of soap boots on her feet. Although she is dressed as a scholar, she has phoenix eyes and red lips, and she looks extravagant; Eight light green skirts, delicate and exquisite figure, a pair of watery eyes, looking forward to look beautiful - it is Lin Jia and Yuzhi!

They walked leisurely by the canal, a handsome man and a pretty woman, a real couple.

Looking at the scene in front of her, Jiang Zhen's heart throbbed, and the handkerchief in her hand was crumpled into a ball.

Yu Mingyue stared at her, and said softly: "I was also the one who was harmed by Yu Shi, and so are you. She is our common enemy, why don't we join hands to do something big!"

Jiang Zhen felt pain in her heart, but her face was very calm, her peach blossom eyes sparkled and she looked at Yu Mingyue: "Sister Yu, what can I do?"

Yu Mingyue leaned forward, approached Jiang Zhen, and whispered.

Jiang Zhen narrowed her eyes, curled up her lips and smiled: "Sister's idea is very good!"
