Queen's Development

Chapter 212 The Meeting of Wind and Cloud (1)

Lin Jia was sitting by the bed with Yu Zhi in her arms, when suddenly she heard the voice of a baby talking to an adult from outside, it was Lin Yin who was talking to Nanny Gu.

Yuzhi also heard her son's voice, and turned to look at Lin Jia with a busy smile: "Ajia, Ayin is outside!"

Lin Jia pulled Yuzhi up: "Wash your face and go see Ah Yin!"

Yu Zhi smiled with tears in her eyes, said "Yes", and really went to the bathroom with Lin Jia.

In the following period of time, although Yuzhi was pregnant, she was still very agile, and ordered Li Rui to replace the "Lin Mansion" in and outside the mansion with "He Prince's Mansion", and began to prepare for the celebration banquet .

On the 26th of the twelfth lunar month, a grand banquet was held with the Prince's Mansion to celebrate, and it was very lively for a while.

After drinking a few cups, Bai Yuming was a little overwhelmed, so he took an opportunity to leave the table and wandered out.

At this time, the palace was full of excitement, and Bai Yuming had nowhere to go. After thinking about it, he prepared to go to the Songyuan to see the shade of the trees.

Today is the rare good weather since the beginning of the twelfth lunar month. The sky is blue and the winter is bright. Although there is not much warmth, the night makes people feel warm.

Bai Yuming walked slowly through the plum forest towards Tingsongyuan, but he thought of the shade in his heart.

Thinking of this cute little baby as his own nephew and blood relationship with him, Bai Yuming fell in love with him very much.

As he was walking, he suddenly heard someone talking behind a clump of plum trees to the west, and it sounded like a female voice.

Bai Yuming didn't intend to listen at first, but he clearly heard the speaker say "that bitch Yuzhi", and stopped in his tracks.

Behind the plum tree were two girls who were dressed as ladies of the family were talking, one of them was a girl with apricot core eyes and sharp chin, sweet and sweet, with a small figure and plain dress, she seemed to be in the filial age, and she was pouting bitterly and said: "If If it wasn't Yuzhi, who is so charming, how could Cousin Jia not marry the concubine?"

The other girl had slender eyebrows and eyes, very delicate, she covered her mouth with a smile and said, "But there is no way, who would seduce a man!"

Bai Yuming frowned, and was about to walk over, but found a girl in a red feather veil cloak walking over with a maid. It was Han Zhaolin, a girl from the Sixth Han Dynasty whom she met a few days ago.

Han Zhaolin drank a few cups of wine, she was a little hot, and she came out feeling sluggish, but she heard Jiang Zhi, the second daughter of the Jiang family, and Fan Baoer, the first daughter of the servant of the Ministry of Industry, Fan Changyuan, talking bad things about Yuzhi, and couldn't help but feel aggrieved. Walking out slowly, said lightly: "Speaking ill of people behind their backs, is that what a lady should do?"

Fan Baoer couldn't help but blushed with shame, and said nothing.

Jiang Zhi sneered, "I want you to mind your own business!"

Han Zhaolin thought that a beauty like a fairy concubine like Yuzhi would be slandered behind her back, so she said, "Bai Fangfei has both beauty and wisdom, only those who are jealous will slander her behind their backs!"

Jiang Zhi wanted to refute, but she didn't take it seriously, and Han Zhaolin was a higher status than herself, so she gave Han Zhaolin a bitter look, and pulled Fan Baoer away.

Han Zhaolin was about to leave when she heard footsteps and looked up, only to find it was Bai Yuming.

Bai Yuming came out, bowed his hands to Han Zhaolin, and said in a clear voice, "Thank you Miss Han for protecting my sister!"

As soon as Han Zhaolin saw Bai Yuming, her eyes lit up—Bai Yuming didn't wear fourth-rank civil servant clothes today, but a red brocade robe with a jade belt around her waist, which made her fair skin more and more beautiful.

Her eyes were full of smiles, and she bowed her knees and saluted: "Master Bai, you are too polite!"

Han Zhaolin stared at Bai Yuming, and said softly, "Bai Fangfei is beautiful, good-natured, intelligent and capable, I like her very much!"

After finishing speaking, she nodded slightly, took a few steps back and walked away with the maid.

After walking for a certain distance, Han Zhaolin couldn't help but glance back, and found that Bai Yuming was still standing there looking at her, her heart was beating violently, her face was a little hot, she hurriedly lowered her head, and left in a hurry.

It wasn't until Han Zhaolin's back disappeared into the plum forest that Bai Yuming continued to walk towards Tingsongyuan.

Years passed in a blink of an eye.

This day, Bai Yuming and Li Rui went to the outer study to meet Lin Jia.

As soon as he entered the outer study, Bai Yuming found that Lin Jia was sitting and talking with a young man in black clothes.

Seeing Bai Yuming coming in, the young man stood up and said with a smile, "Lord Bai?"

Li Rui introduced at the side: "Lord Bai, this is Mr. Han's third son!"

Bai Yuming immediately understood that this was Han Zhaolin's third brother, Han Zhaoyang, the magistrate of Ganzhou, so he bowed his hands and returned the gift.

Han Zhaoyang was born with dark skin, handsome sword eyebrows and starry eyes. He replied to Lin Jia, but he had no intention of leaving immediately, but sat there listening to Bai Yuming and Lin Jia talking.

After listening for a while, Han Zhaoyang realized that Lin Jia treated him and Li Rui with a superior attitude, but he treated Bai Yuming differently, as if they were much closer.

Lin Jia lowered his eyes and listened intently to Bai Yuming's reply, but he didn't look at Bai Yuming - Bai Yuming was born too much like Yuzhi, every time he saw Bai Yuming, he always felt a sense of embarrassment, but he couldn't help but love the house and the black, and he was very fond of Bai Yuming. Very patient and took extra care.

But Bai Yuming knew very well in his heart that not only Lin Jia was extraordinarily kind to him, but even Li Rui was very kind and patient to him.

For such a situation, Bai Yuming sees through it but doesn't explain it through.

After listening to Bai Yuming's reply, Lin Jia said, "The Xixia mission will come to the capital in a few days, you and Han Zhaoyang can arrange the reception together!"

Now Dazhou and Liao are confronting each other on the border of Liaozhou. If Xixia and Liao form an alliance, Dazhou will face enemies on both sides. Therefore, when Lin Jia received the news that Xixia wanted to come to Dazhou for peace talks, she agreed.

Bai Yuming answered "yes" and prepared to step down.

Han Zhaoyang stood up with a smile, and retreated with Bai Yuming.

When they got to the corridor, Han Zhaoyang greeted Bai Yuming with a smile: "Master Bai, can you accompany me out for a light meal?"

Bai Yuming glanced at Han Zhaoyang, and Han Zhaolin's shy look at him appeared in his mind, and he agreed immediately.

In the evening, Yu Zhi hugged the shade of the tree in front of the railing and looked at a tree of white plums in full bloom. Li Rui stood beside him with the Jackdaw and talked about the purchase of the house adjacent to the west of the palace.

After hearing this, Yuzhi nodded and said, "If someone is unwilling to sell, don't force it!"

Li Rui answered "Yes", thought for a while, and said, "Han Zhaoyang asked Mr. Bai to drink!"

Hearing this, Yuzhi looked at Li Rui thoughtfully.

Li Rui immediately smiled and said: "Side concubine, the Han family must have taken a fancy to Master Bai!"

Yu Zhi touched A Yin's soft little white face, and said softly: "Miss Han Liu is naturally good, but brother is willing to do it... Besides, if brother is married, I must not let my parents live with brother. Together, they will definitely do bad things!"

Li Rui took a look at Yuzhi, saw that there was a layer of sadness in her eyes, and hurriedly said: "Side concubine, don't worry, leave this matter to me!"

Yu Zhi laughed and said: "I'll come then, I know my parents better!"

Li Rui thought of the virtues of the Bai family couple, and sighed for Yuzhi and Bai Yuming - how could such a pair of brothers and sisters have such a wonderful pair of parents!
In February, the Xixia mission had not yet arrived, and Lin Jia received a letter - Xixia sent a mission to Dazhou, and at the same time formed an alliance with Liaozhou, and signed a covenant to jointly deal with Dazhou.

After discussing with Emperor Yongtai, Lin Jia first sent Gui Ruyu to lead an army of 20 to the border of Liaozhou, ready for the development of the two countries at any time, and then sent Jiang Shulin and Han Zhaoyang to the post station outside the city to welcome the Xixia mission, in order to start negotiations to collapse the relationship between Xixia and Liao. alliance.

After everything was arranged, Lin Jia sent Emperor Yongtai to Songshan Palace non-stop.

Emperor Yongtai has been feeling unwell recently, and the imperial physician advised him to go to the Songshan Palace to soak in the hot springs, so Emperor Yongtai planned to take Ayin to the Songshan Palace to live for a while.

Yu Zhi is now four months pregnant, her abdomen is slightly protruding, it is difficult to follow Lin Jia around, so she can only look downcastly at Han Lin and the others packing Lin Jia and A Yin's luggage.

After the luggage was packed, Yuzhi was a little tired, so she sat down on the brocade couch in front of the window, took the porridge with rock sugar, pear and white fungus from Jin'er, and used it slowly, before asking Han Lin: "What is in the prince's luggage?" , How many plain white and clear water cotton jackets are there?"

Han Lin said with a smile: "Report to my side concubine, according to your instructions, the servants have prepared six plain white and clear water cotton jackets and six sets of Sura middle clothes for the prince!"

Yuzhi was still a little worried, thought for a while, and then asked: "Have you brought the prince's medicine?"

Lin Jia was originally weak, and has been too busy recently, often coughing at night, Yuzhi asked Mr. Liu to prescribe some medicine for him, and made pills for Lin Jia to take.

Seeing Yu Zhi's expression of reluctance, Han Lin hurriedly said, "I have brought six bottles of pills to my concubine!"

Yuzhi nodded, and got up again to look at Lin Yin's luggage, feeling full of reluctance, she couldn't help but sigh.

Ye Ling watched from the side, smiled and comforted: "Auntie, didn't you say that you want your son to 'read thousands of books and travel thousands of miles', why can't you bear it now?"

Yuzhi laughed: "Mothers are always like this, if you understand it, you understand it, but you are always reluctant to let go!"

She knew very well in her heart that Ah Yin is the eldest son of the concubine, and Lin Jia was able to invite A Yin to be the heir apparent because Lin Jia often let A Yin enter the palace to accompany Emperor Yongtai, to cultivate the relationship between Emperor Yongtai and A Yin, so that Foreshadowing was laid in advance to invite Feng Shizi.

But when she thought of the soft and well-behaved Ah Yin leaving her, Yuzhi still felt uncomfortable.

Seeing Yuzhi frowning slightly, Han Lin tried to divert Yuzhi's attention, and said softly, "Auntie, is Master Bai really planning to propose marriage to the Han family?"

Upon hearing this topic, Yuzhi immediately laughed: "Brother, please ask Yang Xin to come out and go to the Han Mansion to propose a marriage today!"

Yang Xin was the magistrate in Yunzhou first, and now he has been transferred back to the capital to serve as the Minister of Rites. He is Han Li's subordinate, so it is appropriate for Yang Xin to come forward.

When Ye Ling heard it, he smiled and clapped his hands and said, "If it really happens, that would be a good thing!"

Yuzhi smiled slightly, but her eyes were a little sad - she was not worried about Han Li and Han Zhaolin, but worried that Mrs. Han would not like the Bai family...

However, she always believed that no matter what she did, she should do her best and listen to the destiny. She and her brother had tried their best. If it didn't work out, it meant that Bai Yuming and Han Zhaolin had no fate, so they had to let go!
At this time, Lin Jia was receiving the Xixia Mission.

The moment he saw Han Qing, Lin Jiaxiu's brows immediately frowned.
