Queen's Development

Chapter 220 The Meeting of Wind and Cloud (9)

At this time, it was already dark, and the courtyard of Tingsongyuan was covered with translucent sheepskin painted four-season flower lamps. The lights were bright white, and Tingsongyuan was illuminated like a fairy world.

Sure enough, green gauze tents were set up in the bamboo forest, and crystal lamps were placed in the tents, the lights could be seen faintly, and delicate and elegant furniture could be seen inside.

Yuzhi led Mrs. Helian and Mrs. Lan into the green gauze tent. The green gauze tent was covered with a dark green carpet. There is a translucent white jade pot, which contains light green mint wine.

For a while, Yuzhi and Mrs. Helian's Mrs. Lan took their seats.

It's midsummer now, and the capital is extremely hot, but the night wind blowing in the bamboo forest makes it very cool.

Yuzhi was pregnant and couldn't drink alcohol, so she substituted watermelon juice for wine, and toasted Mrs. Helian and Mrs. Lan.

Mrs. Lan simply drank the glass of mint wine, lit the bottom of the glass, and laughed.

Mrs. Helian was waiting to drink, but seeing Mrs. Lan being so free and easy, she raised her glass and drank it all at once.

The three were talking freely.

Yuzhi rested her mouth with her left hand, and took a sip from the white jade cup filled with watermelon juice in her right hand.

At this moment, there was a ding-dong sound outside, and the sound of the piano was barely audible. After another sound of ding-dong, the sound of the piano gradually became lively.

Unknowingly, the sound of the flute flew up, lingering, and even the sound of the piano became obscure.

When the sound of the flute is extremely low, a wonderful sound is heard, getting higher and higher, until it reaches the highest point, but then turns back quickly, it is really ingenious.

Mrs. Lan is proficient in melody, she heard that the singer is the most famous singer Yang Jinglian and said softly immediately: "Side concubine, you actually invited Master Yang to the palace to sing for you!"

Yuzhi took another sip of watermelon juice with the white jade cup, smiled, and didn't speak.

Lin Jia heard that when the fetus is in the mother's womb, it should listen to the wonderful sound and the qin, so that it will be born smart, so it paid a lot of money to invite famous qin masters and singers to the palace to worship, so that Yuzhi can hear it if she wants to.

But now that the future is uncertain, she can enjoy it for a while. If she really goes to Xixia in the future, she will probably hear the bells and chanting of the Guizhen Sect every day.

Thinking that Guizhen Sect has to kneel down to the true god ten times a day and recite scriptures ten times a day, as well as being a vegetarian, Yuzhi turned pale—she really likes food, especially meat dishes such as braised pork, twice-cooked pork, beef soup, and cumin mutton !
Mrs. Lan saw that Yuzhi was silent, and said: "Side concubine, there is something that has been circulating in the capital recently, I don't know if you heard it..."

Yuzhi took another sip of watermelon juice and said with a smile, "What's the matter?"

Mrs. Lan picked up the white jade cup and took a sip of the mint wine, savoring the cool and shady aroma of the wine, and said softly: "Side concubine, I heard people said that the prince was in the Songshan palace a few days ago, the prince—"

Mrs. Helian knew what Mrs. Lan wanted to say as soon as she heard it, so she coughed lightly and interrupted Mrs. Lan.

Mrs. Lan turned her wonderful eyes, glanced at Mrs. Helian, lowered her eyes and said to herself: "Side concubine, now it is said in Beijing that the prince is in the canal palace, so he couldn't help hugging Jiang Zhen!"

As she spoke, her eyes kept paying attention to Yuzhi's reaction.

Why is it that Yuzhi's background is so low, but she can enjoy such a luxurious life, but she can only accompany Yuzhi as a maid?

She had to say it out, so as to tear Yuzhi's arrogance-filled face and make Yuzhi feel uncomfortable!

Mrs. Helian didn't expect Mrs. Lan to be so outspoken, she hurriedly looked at Yuzhi and said, "Concubine, there is no basis for this statement, it's all rumored by people!"

Seeing Mrs. Helian's eyes full of concern, Yuzhi smiled slightly and said, "I believe the prince will not do such a thing."

Mrs. Lan smiled sheepishly, and shook the picture fan: "Maybe the prince is drunk!"

Yuzhi glanced at Mrs. Lan, and said with a half-smile: "General Lan sent two beauties to the prince earlier, but the prince didn't want them. I heard that General Lan raised those two beauties in Ganzhou... I don't know if it is true. It has already spread its branches and leaves for General Lan!"

Once she accompanied Lin Jia to deal with paperwork in the study outside, but Lin Jia handed her a secret message from Yibao Building: "Lan Zhen actually raised a foreign room in Ganzhou!"

Yuzhi's heart of gossip was burning, and she read the secret report carefully, and found that Lan Zhen not only raised the outer room, but also raised two of them!
Mrs. Lan's pretty face turned red and then turned pale. She didn't care about inquiring about Lan Zhen's news, and left after saying a few words on the occasion.

Yuzhi and Mrs. Helian saw Mrs. Lan leaving angrily, they couldn't help looking at each other and smiling.

Yuzhi signaled Ye Ling to pour another glass of wine for Mrs. Helian, and then said: "Actually, I was trying to annoy her on purpose, Lan Zhen's two outer chambers didn't have any children at all!"

Mrs. Helian stretched out her hand to hold Yuzhi's hand, and said softly: "The side concubine, she was the one who got mad at you first!"

Yuzhi was about to speak, when Li Hanxing's voice came from outside: "Side concubine, Brother Ah Cheng has just received the news that the prince has defeated the army of the Liao Kingdom and captured the Crown Prince Yeluxiao of the Liao Kingdom. He is on his way to the capital, about seven Come back at the beginning of the month!"

Seeing Mrs. Helian looking at her with shining eyes, Yu Zhi asked, "Where is General Helian?"

Li Hanxing hastily said: "Report to my side concubine, General Helian will return to Beijing with the prince, while Marshal Gui and General Lan will stay in Liaozhou!"

Hearing that her husband was coming back soon, Mrs. Helian was so happy that she couldn't help but shed tears.

Yuzhi pushed others by herself, and could understand her mood, lightly patted Mrs. Helian's hand, and said softly: "Master Helian is coming back soon, your husband and wife will be reunited soon, this is a happy event!"

Mrs. Helian wiped her tears and said: "Side concubine, Your Excellency has not been in Beijing, I have not been pregnant, my mother-in-law scolded me in public for being a chicken that doesn't lay eggs..."

Thinking of the humiliation and torture she suffered from her mother-in-law when her husband was not at home, Mrs. Helian couldn't help crying.

Yuzhi was never weak, but seeing Mrs. Helian like this, she felt a little sad, and said in a low voice: "Don't worry, I will make the decision next time, and let you follow General Helian to the post!"

Mrs. Helian heard this, and she was grateful for Yuzhi in her heart. She immediately held Yuzhi's hand and said in a trembling voice: "Side concubine, my nanny is the younger sister of Mother Wu in the old lady's room in Jiang's house. She heard that Jiang's house not only prepared The three sisters Jiang Fang, Jiang Zhi and Jiang Zhen were sent to the palace to participate in the election, and a fairy-like girl was brought from a side branch to run for the election. I heard that the prince will definitely fall in love with that girl when he sees it..."

Yuzhi had long been concerned about it, but she also thanked Mrs. Helian for telling her the news, and immediately said: "Thank you!"

Mrs. Helian looked at Yuzhi with teary eyes.

She has a weak personality, and she likes strong and beautiful women like Yuzhi the most. Now that she can help Yuzhi, she feels much more comfortable.

After sending Madam Helian away, Yuzhi told Jin'er: "Go and invite Mr. Liu over here!"

She needs Mr. Liu to make her some pills.

Three days later, Yuzhi got the pill she wanted.

She poured out all the six vermilion pills in the small porcelain bottle, looked at them one by one, put them back in the small porcelain bottle, raised her eyes to Mr. Liu, her big and dark eyes said, "Mr. Liu, this medicine is sure to be right." Is there no harm to the fetus?"

"Side concubine, please rest assured of my medical skills!" Mr. Liu smiled triumphantly, and continued, "Besides, you are going to give birth soon!"

Seeing that Mr. Liu was so determined, Yuzhi was still dubious in her heart, and finally decided not to use it as much as possible.

Time flies, although Bai Yuming tried his best to delay, but under Han Zhaoyang's insistence, the negotiations were still going on in an orderly manner. By the beginning of July, the covenant had been negotiated, and only waiting for Emperor Yongtai to agree.

After meeting Han Li, Han Zhaoyang and Jiang Shulin who came to deliver the covenant, Emperor Yongtai sighed and ordered Yang Wen: "Go to Prince He's Mansion, Xuanbai side concubine enters the palace to have an audience!"

Yang Wen answered "yes", glanced at Eunuch Ding standing beside him, and retreated respectfully.

Knowing that Emperor Yongtai announced that he would enter the palace, Yuzhi smiled and asked Yang Wen to sit down, then winked at Han Lin.

Han Lin understood, nodded and went into the back room, and came out soon after.

Only then did Yuzhi smile and said: "It's such a hot day, Eunuch Yang has been running back and forth, it's really hard work, this is for your errand expenses, buy some tea!"

Just as Yang Wen was about to say a few words of humility, Han Lin had already presented a stack of bank notes respectfully.

Seeing the bank note, Yang Wen's eyes lit up, and he didn't refuse any more.

After receiving the banknote, Yang Wen said with a smile: "Side concubine, Your Majesty wants you to go to Xixia, please get ready!"

Yuzhi got up and thanked Yang Wen solemnly.

Yang Wenhun said indifferently: "The side concubine why be polite!"

Li Rui took a deep look at Yuzhi, and accompanied Yang Wen to drink tea in the east ear room.

Yang Wen hadn't finished drinking a cup of tea when he heard a servant girl's voice from outside: "Eunuch Yang, the side concubine has packed up!"

A while later, Yu Zhi took the shade of the tree and sat in a sedan chair, and the golden woman doctor Han Lin and others followed in a carriage, and under the protection of Li Rui and others, they headed towards the palace.
