Queen's Development

Chapter 228 Entering the Palace and Being Favored
On the day when Jiang Zhen entered the palace, Lin Jia met with the same year that Bai Yuming had recommended, while Yuzhi accompanied Lin Yin and Chang'an, while listening to the stewards of the shop outside and Zhuangzi taking turns coming in to answer.

When Cai Minghe, the chief treasurer of the Jingfu, came in, Yuzhi was feeding Princess Chang'an with a small silver spoon, while Lin Yin was leaning against her on the brocade couch, playing with the yarn sand table.

Seeing Cai Minghe come in, Yu Zhi just smiled and said: "Speak, I'll listen!"

Seeing this scene, Cai Minghe couldn't help being a little contemptuous, and thought: A woman is a woman, who manages so many properties in vain, but only coaxes children!

Still respectful on his face, he took the account book and returned it in full.

Yuzhi is good at multitasking.

While coaxing the two children, while listening to Cai Minghe's report, she soon realized that there were a few problems, so she kept them in her heart, and when Cai Minghe finished all the answers, she pointed them out one by one. come out.

Cai Minghe was frightened into a cold sweat, his face turned pale and he knelt down with a plop: "Concubine side, I'll check it out next time, and report back to you after I check it out!"

Yuzhi handed Princess Chang'an to Nanny Shen, and seeing her go out with Princess Chang'an in her arms, she said with a smile: "I don't rub the sand in my eyes, don't let this happen again next time!"

It was clearly a cool autumn, but Cai Minghe was drenched in sweat. He raised his sleeves to wipe off the sweat, and answered "yes".

Yuzhi glanced at him, and said slowly: "How much is your annual salary now?"

Cai Minghe hurriedly said: "I will report to my side concubine that next year's wages will be 100 taels of silver!"

Yuzhi embraced Lin Yin who was listening attentively, and then asked: "How much does the shopkeeper of the shop below get for a year?"

Cai Minghe hurriedly said: "They have 50 taels of silver a year!"

Yuzhi smiled slightly, and said: "Let's see, from now on, whether it's you or the manager of the shop below, I'm going to pay everyone according to the proportion of their annual earnings. The more the shop earns, the more wages will be paid!"

When Cai Minghe heard it, he immediately forgot to be afraid, and looked at Yuzhi with bright eyes: "Side concubine, I don't know what the ratio is?"

Yuzhi smiled gently: "For every 1000 taels of silver earned, the shopkeeper will take one tael of silver as wages, and the other staff will also give them in proportion, how about it?"

Cai Minghe was so excited that his heart was pounding—he was in charge of all the shops of Jingfu, and even if he was only given one tael of 1000 taels for the profit of Jingfu this year alone, the money he earned in a year would be too much. Very impressive!

Yuzhi took a look at Cai Minghe, her beautiful face suddenly turned serious: "But if I find anything tricky, I won't let it go!"

Cai Minghe couldn't help but increase his voice, and answered "yes" resoundingly.

After seeing all the shopkeepers in charge, Yuzhi was a little tired, so she asked Nanny Gu and Runye Shihua to take Lin Yin out to play.

After Lin Yin went out, Yuzhi got up and walked a few steps in the bright room, looking at Han Lin: "Have you figured out all the accounts?"

Han Lin crackled his abacus with his left hand, and took a pen with his right hand to record on paper, and said the number after a while.

Yuzhi knew that she was rich, but she didn't expect to have so much income in a month.

She paced in the bright room for a while, and said, "I'm going to see the prince!"

Lin Jia needed money, and she had plenty of money, so she could just lend it to Lin Jia!

Yuzhi took Han Lin and Ye Ling to the outer study.

Ah Qing was waiting on the porch with two young servants, and a few guards in feather clothes in green clothes and swords at their waists were waiting outside the window.

Seeing Yuzhi coming, everyone saluted together: "I've seen the side concubine!"

Yuzhi smiled and asked Ah Qing: "Where is the prince?"

Ah Qing said calmly, "My lord is seeing someone!"

He took another half step forward, and said in a low voice: "It is Yeluxiao, the Prince of Liao Kingdom who was captured by the prince!"

After hearing this, Yuzhi was a little curious, but she didn't intend to disturb Lin Jia.

She was about to leave when she heard Lin Jia's voice from inside the study: "Third Prince, please!"

After a while, Lin Jia walked out with someone else.

Yuzhi looked over curiously, and found that it was a teenager, about thirteen or fourteen years old, very thin, and the eyes on his face were especially big.

His eyes are shaped like cat's eyes, and they are very black, beautiful, black, with a hint of beauty.

The young man also looked at Yu Zhi, and saw that it was a very beautiful young woman, so he looked away indifferently and walked forward.

Those feather guards also followed.

Lin Jia didn't know why, he was overjoyed when he saw Yuzhi, and he smiled and stepped forward to hold Yuzhi's hand: "Go in first!"

After entering the outer study, Yuzhi looked up at Lin Jia, smiled and said, "Ajia, are you short of money?"

Lin Jia couldn't help smiling when she saw that she was happily presenting treasures: "It's missing!"

Yuzhi threw herself into his arms, stretched her arms and tightly wrapped around Lin Jia's slender waist: "I'll lend it to you!"

Lin Jia hugged Yuzhi, sniffed the fragrance of jasmine on Yuzhi's hair, and said with a smile in her voice, "Okay!"

Yuzhi is always like a child, she wants to share with him whatever is good...

Thinking of such Jade Gardenia, Lin Jia's heart felt warm, as if being blown by the spring breeze in March, it was warm and comfortable.

Lin Jia lifted Yuzhi's chin and kissed it tenderly.

After a while, Yu Zhi found that Lin Jia was pushing herself hard, and couldn't help laughing, reaching out to push Lin Jia away, but Lin Jia hugged her tightly.

Hearing Lin Jia's rapid breathing, her face turned red, and she said softly, "Let's go behind the screen!"

There is a chaise longue behind the screen, where she rests when she comes over.

Lin Jia gave a "hmm", picked up Yu Zhi and went behind the screen.

Ah Qing stood quietly outside the study with two young servants, and faintly heard a "squeak, squeak" sound inside, but it disappeared after listening carefully.

He hurriedly told the two servants: "There is no sun here, let's go over there, if the prince calls for someone, we can hear it!"

The two young servants looked at each other in blank dismay—need to bask in the sun while waiting for the lord's order?

Although they were puzzled, they didn't dare to ask further questions, and they really jumped down the steps and went to bask in the sun in front of a clump of privets in the courtyard.

Ah Qing also strolled over, looking at the leaves of privet that were shone green by the sun in a relaxed and happy manner, and thought: The prince and the side concubine are so loving, maybe there will be a young master and a little princess soon, right?
About half an hour later, Lin Jia's slightly hoarse voice came from the study: "Bring in a cup of warm water!"

Ah Qing answered "yes".

Entering the study, Ah Qing only saw the prince sitting behind the desk, surrounded by a cool mint smell, mixed with the smell of rose soap, it seems that the prince and the side concubine have already taken a bath.

He put down the warm boiled water in a bisque teacup, and then backed out.

After the study door was closed, Lin Jia picked up the bisque cup and went behind the screen.

On the imperial concubine's couch, there was a quilt pillow embroidered with rose petals in light pink, and Yu Zhi was lazily leaning on it with her eyes closed, her fair face was flushed with peach blossoms, and her lips were also a little swollen.

Lin Jia walked over, sat down by the couch, supported Yuzhi with her left hand, and held the green porcelain teacup with her right hand. She tasted the water first, and felt that the water temperature was just right, so she fed Yuzhi to drink.

Yuzhi drank a couple of sips, her dry throat was moistened, and she groaned and acted like a baby: "Ajia, I'm going to sleep..."

Lin Jia put her down and helped her tidy the pillow and embroider the quilt. When everything was ready, she leaned over and kissed Yuzhi on the lips.

After doing this, he felt a little numb, as if he didn't have enough love, so Jun couldn't help but blushed slightly, and sat there watching for a while.

Seeing that Yuzhi was fast asleep, Lin Jia got up to review the memorial.

This evening Shouchang Palace is brightly lit.

It was already late at night, and there was silence inside and outside the palace, only the crickets were calling tirelessly.

Jiang Zhen was wearing a corolla and a gown, sitting on the rosewood arhat bed in the main hall, her small face was expressionless, and her peach blossom eyes seemed to be frozen.

Lichun and Qingming, the maids who were married into the palace, stood on both sides, and they were also a little worried-the girl has been in the palace for a day, and your majesty is still missing?Keeping the girl in the air, wouldn't the girl be ashamed in front of the concubine in the future?

Jiang Zhen stood up when the Western gold chiming bell on the rosewood shelf next to her sounded the bell. Unexpectedly, she had sat for so long that her legs and feet were numb. When she stood up, her feet felt like pins and needles, and her body was on the verge of falling.

Qingming reacted very quickly, and immediately rushed forward to support Jiang Zhen: "Your Majesty, be careful!"

Jiang Zhen sat back on Luohan's bed again, and said in a low voice, "Squeeze my legs and let me think about what we should do next..."

In the early morning of the next day, Jiang Zhen ordered Qingming to reward Hu San, the young eunuch of Shouchang Palace, with a silver key: "You go to the Yutang Palace to have a look, if His Majesty is here, come back to the palace!"

Hu San was a clever little eunuch, with quick eyes and brows, he answered "yes" after picking up the silver key, and ran out in a hurry.

Knowing the news that Emperor Yongtai had gone to court, Jiang Zhen pondered for a moment, then ordered: "Go to Yongshou Palace, I want to greet the Queen Mother!"

I heard that Emperor Yongtai is extremely filial, as long as he often goes to serve the Queen Mother, he will meet Emperor Yongtai sooner or later.

Lichun did not expect that Jiang Zhen would not go to Yutang Palace to pay respects to Emperor Yongtai, but to go to Yongshou Palace to meet the Empress Dowager, so she couldn't help but be surprised and said: "Your Majesty, you—"

Qingming was more clever, hurriedly pulled Lichun, and said with a smile: "Your servant, let's get ready!"

The ancient trees in Yongshou Palace are towering, and it is quite shady, Jiang Zhen felt a little chill when she entered.

She took a deep breath and brewed a sweet smile. Just as she was about to walk forward, she heard the eunuch's voice from behind: "Your Majesty is here!"

Jiang Zhen was overjoyed, looked back, and met the eyes of Emperor Yongtai who was striding forward.

Emperor Yongtai came to visit the Empress Dowager with a lot of worries, but as soon as he entered the palace gate, he saw an unusually sweet smiling face, he couldn't help being taken aback, and stopped in his tracks.

Jiang Zhen stepped forward gracefully, bowed her knees and saluted: "Concubine Min of Shouchang Palace has seen Your Majesty!"

Emperor Yongtai immediately remembered that this was Concubine Min of Shouchang Palace, Lin Jia's cousin, and couldn't help being a little embarrassed, coughed immediately, and said, "Let's go in together!"

Jiang Zhen glanced at Emperor Yongtai shyly and timidly, and thought: Cousin Jia is born similar to His Majesty, but it's a pity that one is 22 years old and the other is 40 years old!

Thinking of this, her smile became sweeter, her peach blossom eyes rolled, she glanced at Emperor Yongtai, and said softly: "Yes, Your Majesty."

Emperor Yongtai had experienced many beauties, but his heart was still numb from Jiang Zhen's gaze. He couldn't help but glance at Jiang Zhen beside him, and found that Jiang Zhen's breasts were abnormally plump, clearly fully developed.

After having this thought, his heart began to twitch.

It was night in a blink of an eye.

After receiving the news that Emperor Yongtai was coming to Shouchang Palace, Jiang Zhen turned away from the waiters, took out the orange-red brocade bag from her collection, and took out a white porcelain bottle from it.

She poured some pink powder from a white porcelain bottle into the palm of her hand, and then scooped out some rose balm to mix with the powder. After the mixture was even, she evenly applied it on her lips with her fingers.

After finishing painting, Jiang Zhen leaned close to the bright mirror, looked at the beautiful and plump lips in the mirror, her peach eyes showed a sharp look - Lin Jia, you hurt me, I will definitely take revenge!

In the dead of night, the palace lanterns are blurred.

Jiang Zhenmei smiled and pushed Emperor Yongtai back onto Babu's bed, then kissed him.

Her kiss was green and passionate, causing waves in Emperor Yongtai's old heart, and he began to respond to Jiang Zhen's kiss.

This night, Emperor Yongtai seemed to have returned to his youth, with endless enthusiasm and physical strength, wishing to rub himself into Jiang Zhen's body.

Greedy for a while.

At dawn, Emperor Yongtai did not go to the early court for the first time.

He lay relaxed on the soft and fragrant Babu bed, embraced the charming little beauty in his arms, and told Yang Wen who was waiting for an answer outside the tent: "Let Ajia host it, I want to rest!"

Yang Wen answered "Yes", and respectfully stepped back.

Nestling in Emperor Yongtai's arms, Jiang Zhen heard the phrase "Let Ajia preside over it" clearly in her ears. She touched her abdomen and thought: When will children be born here?
