Queen's Development

Chapter 225
Lin Jia said thoughtfully: "He wants to recognize Chang'an as his righteous daughter."

Yuzhi was extremely intelligent, and she thought a lot, and finally said: "Does he think he is sterile and wants to adopt Chang'an?"

In fact, she had already suspected that Han Qing was so flirtatious, but he was in his 20s, and he had been flirtatious for almost ten years.

Lin Jia looked solemn: "He said he was infertile and wanted to adopt Chang'an, but I refused!"

Yuzhi smiled: "He is a lunatic, if the child is in his hands, he might become a lunatic too!"

Lin Jia leaned on Yuzhi's body and said in a low voice: "I promised him that he could come into the mansion to see Chang'an, and he promised that Xixia would not take the initiative to start a war during this period."

Yu Zhi thought for a moment, and said: "He has never been able to guess with common sense, we should be wary of him!"

Lin Jia agreed and said in a low voice, "I'll sleep for a while."

After all, he took off his coat, went to bed, and fell asleep in the bed.

Yuzhi anxiously asked him about choosing a concubine, and hurriedly said, "Ajia, didn't you say you want to choose a concubine? What are your plans?"

Lin Jia didn't sleep all night, she was so tired that she had already fallen asleep next to her.

Seeing Lin Jia's peaceful sleeping face, Yuzhi couldn't bear to wake him up, so she looked at Lin Jia resentfully for a while, and fell asleep unconsciously.

At this time, Emperor Yongtai was having trouble sleeping and eating, and was pacing back and forth in the imperial study.

The patter of rain outside made him even more irritable.

Yang Wen stood on the side, his eyeballs moved back and forth in the eye sockets following Emperor Yongtai.

After a while, Emperor Yongtai stopped in front of the long carved window, looked at the wet green bamboo outside and sighed.

Yang Wen finally spoke. He tentatively said, "Does Your Majesty miss... and the Prince?"

Emperor Yongtai sighed again: "Ajia hasn't gone to court for the past few days..."

He knew that Ajia hated him, but Emperor Yongtai was also very wronged and felt that he was right. The interests of the Great Zhou Dynasty were of course higher than Lin Jia's personal interests. Besides, the side concubine Bai did not belong to Lin Jia Concubine, what is so precious?

Yang Wen knew that Emperor Yongtai was always reasonable, whether he was right or not, he was righteous and reasonable, and would never admit his mistake to Prince He, so he swallowed his saliva and swallowed the words he wanted to persuade.

Anyway, there is only one person in the world who can rule His Majesty, and only this person can rule His Majesty, why should he talk too much?
Emperor Yongtai thought of Lin Yin, the little emperor's grandson, and felt even more sad - he hadn't seen Lin Yin for several days, Ajia wouldn't let me see A Yin in the future, right?
The more he thought about it, the more sad he became. After sighing for a while, he finally came up with an idea: Isn't it time to choose a concubine for Ajia?Then continue to choose, if you don't believe me, Ajia won't come to see me!
The matter of Concubine Bai's disturbance in Yutangdian was somehow spread.

After confirming that the news was true, Jiang Zhen began to worry that Lin Jia would not choose a concubine.

The rain stopped that day, Jiang Zhi and Jiang Fang came to play with Jiang Zhen, the three sisters were sitting in the Wanzhao Pavilion writing poems and playing, a woman from Tai Furen's yard came over, saluted and said happily: "Three Miss, the old lady just received the news that the concubine selection is going on!"

After hearing the news that the concubine selection was going on, Jiang Zhen felt relieved.

With a smile, she told the servant girl who rewarded the letter: "Bring some broken silver to her to buy wine!"

The mother-in-law who reported the letter accepted the broken silver with a smile on her face, said a few words of congratulations, and then withdrew.

Jiang Zhi and Jiang Fang had their own concerns, and they were silent for a while.

Jiang Zhen, on the other hand, was smug, just admiring the flowers with a smile, and the scene turned cold for a moment.

Jiang Fang pondered for a moment, and said: "Why don't we go to the old lady's place to have a look..."

When the three sisters arrived at Mrs. Tai's place, they found that Mrs. Ma was seeing a handsome young man, Li Rui, the housekeeper of the Prince's Mansion, so they all stood quietly and listened.

Mrs. Jiang said with a smile: "I heard that Concubine Bai has given birth to Princess Chang'an. I wonder how Princess Chang'an is doing?"

Li Ruigong said respectfully: "I would like to tell you, Madam, that Princess Chang'an looks quite like Side Concubine Bai."

Mrs. Jiang smiled gracefully: "The princess of Chang'an is really blessed. The princess of [-] households in the city is still the only one in our Great Zhou Dynasty!"

Li Rui smiled slightly: "It's all His Majesty's grace."

Jiang Zhen listened to it, feeling sour in her heart: It's just a little girl's film, who knows if she can live beyond the full moon, and she is given such a heavy reward, and she is not afraid of breaking her little life...

She was just thinking about it, but Jiang Zhi chuckled and said: "A princess who was born to a side concubine sealed 30 households; in the future, if the princess enters the door and regenerates the princess, how many households will be given?" Food town? [-] households? Besides, a baby who has only been born for a few days, who knows that he can-"

Mrs. Jiang coughed and glanced at Jiang Zhi.

Seeing her grandmother's sharp eyes, Jiang Zhi dared not speak anymore.

Li Rui raised his eyes to look at Jiang Zhi, his eyes were as sharp and cold as ice, but when Jiang Zhi looked again, he saw that Li Rui had already lowered his eyes, still obedient.

Jiang Fang felt that what the cousin said offended people, so she lowered her head and wiped the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief.

The old lady smiled warmly: "Li Rui, you should go back first and tell your lords, I understand, since Concubine Bai Fang doesn't see any guests, then we will go to congratulate the princess after the full moon!"

Li Rui answered "Yes", saluted respectfully, and then slowly backed out.

When he got outside the door, he looked at Jiang Zhi again, his eyes were extremely cold, but when he looked again, he looked submissive again.

Jiang Zhi shuddered inexplicably.

After Li Rui left, Mrs. Jiang sighed and said, "Zhi'er, do you know what's wrong?"

Jiang Zhi leaned against Mrs. Jiang and said coquettishly: "Grandmother, is what Zhi'er is telling the truth! Besides, that Li Rui is just a slave, so what is there to worry about?"

Jiang Zhen looked at Jiang Zhi like a fool.

Seeing that Jiang Zhi was ignorant and didn't bother to teach her herself, Mrs. Jiang told Jiang Zhen, "Zhen'er, come and tell your second sister who Li Rui is!"

Jiang Zhen answered "yes", took a sip of the tea cup, moistened her throat, and then slowly said: "Li Rui is Eunuch Ding's nephew, although he is the housekeeper of Prince He's mansion, he is in charge of His Majesty Yu Yiwei is a person that even the ministers in the court are afraid of, the second sister must not go out during this time, and hide at home for a while!"

Jiang Zhi sneered sneeringly, and said: "It's just a eunuch, he's Prince He's housekeeper, and I'm Prince He's direct cousin! Besides, I didn't speak ill of him, Li Rui, and he wouldn't have anything to do with me. angry!"

Mrs. Jiang simply didn't want to look at her granddaughter anymore, she waved her hand and said, "You all step back, I'm tired!"

Jiang Zhen waited until then to back out.

When Li Rui returned to Prince He's mansion, he happened to meet Bai Yuming who was going to listen to Songyuan to see Yuzhi, so he took the opportunity to accompany Bai Yuming there.

It was sunny today after the rain, and the sun was shining brightly, which made people feel warm.

Bai Yuming and Li Rui walked side by side. Seeing that they were approaching Tingsongyuan, Bai Yuming suddenly said, "My official position is still too low."

Li Rui took a look at Bai Yuming, and understood that Bai Yuming was saying that he had a low official position, but he couldn't protect his sister when things came to an end.

He casually plucked a Lingxiao flower from a vine on one side, and said in a low voice: "If there are talents in your year, feel free to introduce them to the prince."

Bai Yuming nodded and said no more.

As soon as Li Rui and Bai Yuming entered Tingsongyuan, they saw the shade of the forest blowing towards them like a gust of wind. Li Hanxing led two young servants to chase after him, and the nanny followed. So lively and active!

Lin Yin was blocked by someone, and when he looked up, he saw Li Rui and Bai Yuming, and immediately yelled twice.

Li Rui saw that Lin Yin's face was flushed from running, and his cheeks were covered with sweat, so he knelt down, took a clean veil and wiped it on Lin Yin's face and neck, then hugged Lin Yin: "Let's go." , go see the side concubine!"

Lin Yinren was in Li Rui's arms, but looked at Bai Yuming curiously - he also found that his uncle and mother were very similar - then pointed at Bai Yuming, trying to mobilize his tongue: "Like...mother!"

Bai Yuming couldn't help laughing: "Why does this kid have such a loud voice? Such a rough voice?"

Carefully, Li Rui hugged Lin Yin with one hand, and put one hand on Lin Yin's back, but found that the red shirt on his body was soaked with sweat, so he told the nanny: "Nurse Gu, take a bath for Xiao Shizi later, Feed me some water!"

Nanny Gu agreed with a smile.

Arriving at the main room of Tingsong Courtyard, before Li Rui and Bai Yuming entered, they heard Yuzhi's voice from outside the room: "...Do you dare to choose a concubine? Give me a try!"

Then came Lin Jia's laughing voice: "I just chose, what can you do with me?"

Hearing Yuzhi's coquettish scolding, Lin Jia's out of breath laughter came from inside, obviously being scratched by Yuzhi.

Li Rui and Bai Yuming smiled at each other, then turned and left together.

After returning to his yard, Li Rui called Ling Que to give him instructions.

Ling Que is of medium build, with a pair of beautiful peach blossom eyes, quite handsome.

Hearing Li Rui's words, he nodded with a smile and went to work on his own.
