Queen's Development

Chapter 232
In the blink of an eye, it entered November, and the weather suddenly turned cold. The factory in Luoyang produced muskets, and Lin Jia took her cronies to Luoyang.

On the eighth day of November, the eldest son of Zhen'anhou's mansion got married, and Yuzhi received the invitation.

Because Zhen'an Hou Shutao and Lin Jia have a good relationship, Yuzhi naturally wants to attend the wedding banquet because of Lin Jia's face.

The wedding banquet was very lively, Lin Jia had been established as the official heir to the throne, and Yu Zhi was the biological mother of the prince's son, so all the female relatives respected Yu Zhi very much.

After the banquet went on for a while, Mrs. Zhen'an saw that Yu Zhi looked a little tired, so she led Yu Zhi to the side room to rest for a while.

Yuzhi brought Han Lin and Ye Ling into the guest room, sat down on the chaise longue, and chatted with Madam Zhen'an over tea.

Mrs. Marquis of Zhen'an loves gossip the most, and there is nothing she doesn't know about all kinds of gossip in the Gaomen of the capital.

Although Yuzhi didn't like to talk, she loved to listen, so she led Mrs. Zhen'anhou to continue talking sentence by sentence.

Mrs. Zhen'anhou immediately regarded Yuzhi as a confidant, and the conversation went deeper.

Yuzhi was listening wonderfully when the maidservant of Mrs. Zhen'an came in and said with a smile: "Side concubine, madam, Mrs. Jiang San please see me!"

Madam Zhen'an hurriedly looked at Yuzhi: "Do you want to see her, side concubine?"

Yuzhi smiled lazily: "Let her in!"

Today, Mrs. Jiang Er and Mrs. Jiang San are the ones who came to congratulate the Jiang family on behalf of the Jiang family. Now Mrs. Jiang San came to see her alone. What is the purpose of the third Mrs. Jiang?
The maid answered "yes" crisply and retreated.

Not long after, Mrs. Jiang San came in with the maid.

As soon as she came in, she saw the side concubine Bai lazily leaning on the embroidered pillow and reclined on the imperial concubine's couch. She hurriedly put away her worries and went forward to salute: "I have seen my side concubine before!"

Yuzhi smiled faintly: "Get flat!"

Mrs. Jiang San and Mrs. Zhenyuan Hou greeted each other, then sat down and chatted with Yuzhi.

After chatting for a while, Yuzhi realized that Jiang Shufeng, the youngest of the Jiang family, was at odds with Jiang Shulin, the eldest son of the Jiang family, and Jiang Shuzhen, the second child, and wanted to seek refuge with Lin Jia!

She looked at Mrs. Jiang San with clear eyes: "I don't care about foreign affairs in the palace. If the third uncle has something to do, you might as well go to see the prince directly; if Madam has something to do, just tell me."

After receiving Yu Zhi's correct words, Mrs. Jiang San breathed a sigh of relief, and said in a low voice: "Side concubine, we... we husband and wife have nothing to do..."

As she spoke, tears streamed down her cheeks.

Seeing Mrs. Jiang San's expression was wrong, Yu Zhi turned her eyes to Mrs. Zhenyuan Hou.

Mrs. Zhenyuan Hou loves gossip the most, but she is a smart person, she got up immediately, and retreated with the attendants.

Only then did Yuzhi softly say: "Tell me, what's the matter?"

The three Jiang family brothers, one mother and compatriots, have a very good relationship and have been advancing and retreating together in the officialdom. Mrs. Jiang San came to find her at this time, it must be something urgent.

Mrs. Jiang San got up and took two steps, then knelt down in front of Yuzhi, tears rolling down her face: "I beg my side concubine to save my concubine's daughter!"

Yuzhi didn't speak, but looked at Mrs. Jiang San: "What happened to Miss Jiang?"

Of the three daughters of the Jiang family, the eldest is Jiang Fang from the third room, who has a bit of the character of Concubine Jiang back then, with a gentle and docile personality; the second girl is Jiang Zhi from the second room. The third girl is Jiang Zhen from the big house, the current Concubine Min of Shouchang Palace.

Mrs. Jiang San wiped her tears and said: "Some time ago, Concubine Min asked the old lady to invite famous prostitutes to teach Fang'er at home. I felt puzzled, but it was not easy to ask. Who knows that Concubine Min will die Someone took Fang'er into the palace, and I tried to find a way to ask the people around the old lady, and only then did I learn that the old lady planned to let Fang'er seduce His Majesty and help Concubine Min to keep her in favor... There is no name, Fang'er This is how to do ah……"

She covered her mouth with a veil, and her crying was suppressed.

When Yu Zhi heard this, she immediately scolded Jiang Zhen and Mrs. Jiang for being shameless in her heart.

She thought for a while and stared at Mrs. Jiang San: "I can try, but if I really bring out Miss Fang, how will the third uncle and the third wife repay me and the prince?"

Jiang Shufeng is now serving as the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, which is somewhat useful.

Mrs. Jiang San had discussed with her husband before she came to beg Yuzhi, so she immediately said: "If Fang'er can be rescued, when the lord returns to Beijing, our lord will go to the palace to see the lord!"

After hearing this, Yu Zhi smiled slightly, and said: "Please remember what you said at this time, Third Uncle and Madam."

After all, she got up and walked out.

Mrs. Jiang San saw that Yu Zhi attached so much importance to this matter and she was about to leave, she was excited, and immediately saluted again: "Thank you side concubine!"

She had discussed with her husband. Fang'er was born like her aunt, Concubine Jiang. If His Majesty saw her, it would be difficult to escape. Only Prince He could save her from His Majesty.

But now that the prince is in Luoyang, he can't quench his thirst from afar, so she has no choice but to come to beg side concubine Bai.

The side concubine Bai agreed so straightforwardly that she finally saw a little hope...

Yuzhi returned to the palace, tidied up a bit, took the shade of the tree and sat in a sedan chair, and was accompanied by Li Rui into the palace.

At this time, Shouchang Palace is having a banquet.

Jiang Zhen leaned against Emperor Yongtai and sat on the imperial couch, the long rosewood carved table in front was filled with precious delicacy and jade liquid.

Concubine Gui Liang sat on the couch to the east, and noble concubines sat on the couch to the west, all of whom were newly favored concubines.

The main hall is covered with a brand-new red carpet, and a woman in a long white dress, who looks like a fairy, is singing and dancing with her back to Emperor Yongtai.

Emperor Yongtai had experienced many top beauties, so he didn't care, and just drank slowly from the jade cup.

Seeing that the jade cup of Emperor Yongtai was empty, Jiang Zhen got up with a smile and poured the wine for Emperor Yongtai herself. While no one was paying attention, her fingernails flicked on the mouth of the cup, and some fine pink powder fell down and immediately dissolved in the transparent glass. in the liquor.

Jiang Zhen smiled sweetly, holding the cup to Emperor Yongtai's mouth, her voice was so flattering that it almost dripped: "Your Majesty, I will feed you a drink..."

Concubine Gui Liang and Lady Jia looked at Jiang Zhen feeding Emperor Yongtai a drink, feeling sour in their hearts.

Concubine Gui Liang raised her hand to look at the ruby ​​bracelet bestowed by Emperor Yongtai on her wrist, and smiled triumphantly: Even if Jiang Zhen tried her best, she couldn't be favored, she was two months pregnant!

Jiagui lowered his eyes, and thought: You must exert more force on Your Majesty, otherwise Your Majesty will be taken over by that slut Jiang Zhen!

Emperor Yongtai glanced at the beauty with a smile, and drank it down in Jiang Zhen's hand.

He is 40 years old and often feels the passage of time. Only in front of these young concubines can he rekindle the passion he had when he was young.

After a while, Emperor Yongtai felt something strange about his body. At this moment, the music suddenly changed, and the white-clothed dancer who turned her back to the crowd suddenly danced and turned around.

Emperor Yongtai stayed there, his eyes that had been dry for a long time became moist instantly, and he murmured: "Shu Yan... Shu Yan, you are finally back..."

He has been romantic all his life, but he only has one woman in his heart...

Concubine Gui Liang and Lady Jia stayed there, especially Concubine Gui Liang, with a serious face and slightly narrowed eyes—it seemed that Jiang Zhen wanted to dedicate her sister to His Majesty's solid favor!
Jiang Zhen's eyes were full of complacency, and the corners of her mouth twitched.

At this moment, Eunuch Ding came in and said loudly: "Your Majesty, the White side concubine is bringing her son to see her!"

When Emperor Yongtai heard that the little grandson was coming, he immediately said: "Xuan!"

After a while, Yu Zhi came in holding Lin Yin's hand.

Li Rui followed behind.

After finishing the salute, Yu Zhi got up and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, Ah Yin misses you and wants to see you. I just have something to ask you, so I came together!"

Coming in front of Emperor Yongtai like this, Yuzhi was actually a little nervous, but in order to separate the three Jiang brothers and save Jiang Fang, an innocent girl, she decided to go to the palace to face the saint.

Lin Yin followed his mother to salute, with a loud voice: "Grandfather, play with Ah Yin!"

He is one year and four months old and can speak simple words.

Emperor Yongtai naturally wanted to play with Lin Yin, but his body is abnormal right now, where can he play with his little grandson?
He smiled and said: "Ayin, the imperial grandfather is not feeling well today, let your mother play with you first, and the imperial grandfather will take you to the Songshan Palace to soak in the hot springs in a few days!"

Lin Yin heard the words and immediately said in a milky voice: "Okay!"

Emperor Yongtai looked at Yuzhi, and hurriedly sent the daughter-in-law and the little grandson together: "What's the matter with you?"

Yu Zhi smiled and stepped forward, holding Jiang Fang who was trembling with tears in her eyes: "Your Majesty, this is A Yin's cousin, and A Yin is making a fuss about playing with her cousin!"

Lin Yin had received her mother's advice early on along the way, so she reacted immediately, jumping and shouting: "Ayin wants aunt! Ayin wants aunt!"

Emperor Yongtai was on the verge of an arrow at the moment, feeling extremely uncomfortable, so he waved his hand immediately: "Okay, Ah Yin, let's take your aunt away!"

Yuzhi reacted very quickly, saluted immediately, held A Yin with one hand, and Jiang Fang with the other, and retreated hastily.

Li Rui followed closely and went out as well.

Emperor Yongtai had persisted to the limit, and immediately said: "Concubine Min, Concubine Liang and Lady Jia will stay, and everyone else will step down!"

When only he and the three favorite concubines were left in the hall, Emperor Yongtai revealed his true colors and pushed down Concubine Min.

Jiang Zhen was shocked, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, this concubine is pregnant with a dragon descendant—"

Her voice was interrupted by Emperor Yongtai, who suppressed Jiang Zhen and tore Jiang Zhen's dress.

He had always suspected that Jiang Zhen was pregnant with his own child, how could he cherish her?
Jiang Zhen started to cry right away, crying and rejecting at the same time, hating Bai Yuzhi in her heart: If it wasn't for Bai Yuzhi, Jiang Fang would be the one suffering at this time!
Her fingers grabbed the edge of the imperial couch, and her carefully maintained nails were snapped off.

She swears in severe pain: I must take revenge!Must kill Bai Yuzhi!

Concubine Liang and Jiagui had never seen such a scene before, and they stayed there long ago.

Emperor Yongtai said in a hoarse voice: "Everyone come here!"

Concubine Liang and Mrs. Jia looked at each other, and then stepped forward together.

Eunuch Ding sent Concubine Bai and his party off.

Yang Wenli stood outside the main hall, next to the little eunuch Li Xiuzhen, both of them had sad faces: Your Majesty and the three favorite concubines have an open meeting, how can this body bear it?When I get back with the prince, I'm going to lose my temper again!

At this moment, a scream came from the hall: "Blood! Blood—"
