Queen's Development

Chapter 248

Hurrying all the way, when Yuzhi and his party arrived in Shangzhou, it was already April weather, poplars were green everywhere, roses were blooming, wildflowers were everywhere, and the weather was getting hotter.

Yuzhi escorted many people this time, so she didn't worry about safety, so she rested at the post station during the day and traveled at night, and she didn't suffer much along the way.

Shangzhou has been a prosperous place since ancient times. Yuzhi stayed in the post station during the day, so she couldn't help being a little quiet, so she ordered Jin'er to invite Li Rui over, and asked with a smile: "Li Rui, I want to go shopping in Shangzhou city. Go shopping, can you?"

Sitting in Yuzhi's arms, Lin Yin stared at Li Rui with a pair of phoenix eyes like black jewels, waiting for Li Rui's answer.

Li Rui saw Yuzhi and Lin Yin's mother and son staring at him with bright eyes, waiting for his answer. It was obvious that they had been detained a lot this way and wanted to go out for a stroll, so he couldn't help smiling and said, "It's okay to go for a stroll, but I have to change my attire, and choose a few more people to follow!"

Seeing that Li Rui agreed, Yuzhi was overjoyed in her heart, leaned over to Lin Yin's small face and kissed her hard, and let out a "chirp".

Lin Yin was unexpectedly kissed by his mother, and grinning, he rushed forward, wanting to kiss Yuzhi too, and the mother and son made a fuss.

Seeing Yu Zhi and Lin Yin playing around, Lin Jia pursed her lips and smiled, got up and went out.

About half an hour later, Li Rui brought Alan and Yeluxiao over to pick up Yuzhi and Lin Yin.

As soon as they arrived at the gate of the inner courtyard of the inn, they saw a beautiful young woman coming out surrounded by Han Lin and Jin'er. The young woman had big black eyes, thick and long eyelashes, a pair of dimples on her snow-white cheeks, and a sweet smile. There is a peach heart bun on her hair, only a jasper hairpin on her hair, she is wearing a light yellow shirt and a plain white pleated skirt, it is Yuzhi who has changed into a commoner woman's attire.

Li Rui didn't know why, but his heart was beating a little fast. He hurriedly lowered his eyes, cupped his hands and said, "I've seen the side concubine!"

He said again, "Where is the son?"

"I'm here!" Lin Yin walked around from behind the door and said with a smile.

The sun was shining brightly at this moment, shining on Lin Yin's little face, Li Rui found that Lin Yin was becoming more and more like a prince, with long eyebrows and phoenix eyes like cold stars. Although he was a child, he already had the embryonic form of a handsome man .

He couldn't help smiling, and stepped forward to hug Lin Yin: "There are so many people outside, let me hug Shizi!"

Lin Yin liked Li Rui the most, so he agreed crisply, wrapping his fat little arms around Li Rui's neck.

Ye Luxiao was originally standing behind Li Rui, but at this moment Shi Shiran came out, cupped his hands, and said in a hoarse voice, "I've seen my sister-in-law!"

He is Lin Jia's brother-in-law, so he is naturally called Yuzhi's sister-in-law.

Yuzhi hadn't seen Yeluxiao for a while, so she looked over curiously, only to realize that Yeluxiao was no longer a teenager, but she had grown so tall, and her face was obviously still childish. But his body has grown into the appearance of an adult, with a slender and tall stature, and the white gauze robe on his body is tightly outlined by the black jade belt. If you don't look at his childish face, he is also Yushu Linfeng's good figure.

Yuzhi held back her laughter and said, "It's Ah Xiao, let's go out to play today too!"

Yeluxiao agreed with a strange voice.

Only then did Yu Zhi realize that Ye Luxiao's voice was still changing, and her voice was rough and unpleasant, so she couldn't help laughing, thinking: Ye Luxiao looks taller, but he is actually a child!

Knowing that Yuzhi was laughing at him, Yeluxiao turned away resentfully, thinking: Is this the attitude towards the savior?snort!

A group of people left the station and walked towards the street.

The city was prosperous during the Great Zhou Dynasty, Yuzhi and the others walked around, ate some local snacks, bought some snacks, and bought a gold hairpin for each of the following maids, and then went back happily.

Seeing that she was approaching the station, Yuzhi suddenly stopped in her tracks, put her left hand on Han Lin's shoulder, and stared at a ragged woman standing in front of her.

The woman looked young, but her hair was disheveled, her face was sallow, and she was so thin that she was almost unbearable. She was holding a broken bowl in her hand, looking at the passers-by eagerly, and murmured: "My kind heart!" People, have pity on us!"

Seeing Yu Zhi's abnormal expression, Li Rui was about to ask, but saw Yu Zhi walking straight towards the beggar woman, and hurriedly followed.

Yuzhi stared at the face that looked like it was in the past even though she was so thin, tears flowed down her nose: "White tea?"

The beggar woman looked at Yu Zhi, her dull eyes instantly lit up: "Yu Zhi? Is Yu Zhi really you?"

The face of the young woman in front of her was white and crystal clear, her eyebrows were dark and her eyelashes were black, her lips were bright red, her eyes were black and clear, and they seemed to be able to speak, just like Yuzhi in her memory!
It's really green tea!
Yuzhi's tears couldn't stop pouring out, and she looked at Qingcha who was already haggard and emaciated beyond human shape: "Qingcha, why are you here?"

Qingcha's face was covered with tears, and she raised her hand to wipe the tears off her face, but her hands were also dirty, and her face was also dirty, making her face streaked and messy.

Yuzhi didn't say any more, and said directly: "You go back with me first, and we'll talk about it later!"

The tea is not bad, looking at Yuzhi.

She suspected that everything in front of her was a dream, and was afraid that Yuzhi would disappear in the blink of an eye.

Yuzhi stretched out her hand to hold Qingcha's hand, and said in a shy voice, "Let's go!"

Back at the post station, Yuzhi told Jin'er first: "Go and ask your mother to bring over a bowl of shredded pork soy pot noodles, hurry up!"

Jin'er replied "yes", looked curiously at the beggar woman in front of her, and then went out.

Yu Zhi told Han Lin again: "Go and take out two sets of inner and outer clothes that I haven't worn directly!"

Han Lin replied "yes", seeing Yuzhi pondering slightly, knowing that she hadn't finished speaking, so he didn't leave immediately, but stood there waiting for Yuzhi's next order.

Yuzhi's slender, white fingers tapped on the armrest of the armchair, glanced at the tea sitting timidly beside her, and then told Han Lin: "She can wear my shoes, take out two pairs of embroidered shoes that I haven't worn. !"

After Han Lin entered the back room, Yuzhi told Ye Bi: "Go and fill up the water, and the washing utensils are ready!"

As soon as Ye Bi left, Ye Ling came with a plate of snacks and a glass of milk.

Yuzhi personally washed her hands with a towel and fragrant soap, and then said softly: "Eat some snacks to pad your stomach, and the noodles will come in a while!"

Qingcha's eyes were only looking at Yuzhi, the previously empty eyes now seemed to be lit with flames.

Seeing this, Yuzhi sighed in her heart, picked up a piece of soft chicken cake and handed it to Qingcha, seeing that the Qingcha was devoured so much that she almost choked, she hurriedly fed the Qingcha with milk again.

At this time, Han Lin came over with a pile of brand new clothes, seeing Yuzhi feeding the beggar woman, he wondered: even for the prince, the side concubine is not so considerate!
Qing Cha had just had two sips of milk when Jin Er arrived with a bowl of noodles on a tray.

Looking at the bowl of noodles, Qingcha rolled his throat.

Yuzhi felt uncomfortable, lowered her eyes and said: "In the past, you liked my hot pot noodles the most. This is made by the cook, and it is much tastier than mine. You should try it!"

Qing Cha looked at the bowl of soy pot noodles that looked so good, and a tear fell down.

Yuzhi smiled with tears in her eyes, and wiped away the tears from the corners of Qingcha's eyes with a silk handkerchief: "Eat, take a shower after eating, clean up, and then put on new clothes and shoes, no matter what happens, I will Take care of you, let's start over!"

Qingcha let out an "um" and started to eat noodles.

Ye Bi and Han Lin took a bath with tea, while Yuzhi sat quietly in the armchair in a daze.

Li Rui walked in, looked at Yuzhi for a while, and then said: "Side concubine, who is this person?"

Yuzhi looked up at him: "Her name is Qingcha, she was my partner eight years ago"

Her eyes were moist again: "We were inseparable at that time, and we slept together. Later, she fell in love with a man named Wang Qingyu, who was a servant of the Zhao County Government. Wang Qingyu, how did she get to this point?"

Li Rui thought for a moment, then said: "Concubine side, I think this is really a coincidence, you happened to be passing through Shangzhou, and she happened to be here."

Yuzhi laughed, her smile was sweet, but the smile faded away: "I know, I will be careful, even if she has problems, I have to settle her down first, and I can't let her do it again just because of a little doubt. Lost in the rivers and lakes."

Li Rui stared at Yu Zhi, and said earnestly, "Why don't I give her some money, and then send someone to send her back to her hometown!"

Yuzhi leaned back on the back of the armchair, looked at Li Rui and said in a low voice: "She brought her money back, and her family will cheat her of all the money, and if she sells her again, she is a big bun. I can take a bite!"

She closed her eyes and said softly: "Since I have this ability, let me take care of her!"

Li Rui looked at Yuzhi's thick and long eyelashes trembling slightly, and knew that Yuzhi's mind had been made up, so he didn't say any more, quietly retreated, and took Ayin to play with him.

An hour later, Ye Bi and Han Lin brought out Qingcha.

Yu Zhi stepped forward with a smile, helped her to sit down on the couch with the fresh tea that exuded fresh moisture, picked up a strawberry to feed the tea, and said with a smile, "Come and sit with me!"

Qingming timidly glanced at the waiters in the room, and sat down next to Yuzhi.

Yuzhi waved her hand, motioning for everyone to back down, and then gently asked Qingcha: "Qingcha, what happened? Where is Wang Qingyu?"

Qingcha's tears fell down, and after a while, he sniffed and said in a trembling voice: "The silver, gold and jewelry you gave me were all stolen by my mother-in-law and sister-in-law. My husband suspects me I can’t have children, so they divorced me, and sent me out of Qingzhou on horseback, and said that if I dare to go back, they will... beat me to death, and I will beg all the way and live here.”

With tears in her eyes, Yuzhi wiped away the tears on Qingcha's face with a silk handkerchief, and said with a smile, "From now on, you will follow me, and I will support you!"

Qingming looked at Yuzhi full of hope: "Yuzhi, where is your lord?"

Yuzhi held Qingming's hand that was as thin as a chicken's claw, and said softly: "My lord is now a prince, he has important things to go to Liaozhou, and I am now my lord's side concubine, and I want to take my son to Qingzhou .”

Qingming's eyes were still wet, but when he heard "Shizi", he immediately lit up: "Is that the little prince who looks like the prince? It's so beautiful! Was it born by you?"

Yuzhi nodded, and said: "I gave birth. I also have a daughter named Ting Lan, who is in the capital, and we will see each other later!"

Thinking of Naya who was stolen by Han Qing, Yuzhi felt sore in her heart, but kept smiling.

This evening, Yuzhi and his party set off, and there was one more person in Ye Bi and Ye Ling's carriage - Qingcha was arranged by Yuzhi in their carriage.

Ye Bi and Ye Ling saw that Yuzhi was as close to Qingcha as sisters, because they were also very affectionate when they were treated with Qingcha.

Yuzhi and his party headed towards Qingzhou in the twilight.

At the end of April, Yuzhi and his party finally arrived in Qingzhou and went directly to Xingping County Prince's Mansion.

A row of ten carriages rumbled along under the retinue of cavalry in full armor, entered a road lined with plane trees, and finally stopped.

Ye Bi, Ye Ling, and the others had never been to Xingping County Prince's Mansion. Ye Ling quietly opened the bamboo curtain on the car window to look out, and found a majestic and tall archway-like main entrance in front of it. There are five large characters of "Pingjun Wangfu", and two rows of well-armored soldiers lined up on both sides of the main entrance, looking very solemn and solemn.

Ye Ling whispered: "I don't know if they will let the princess and the prince enter through the main entrance or through the side entrance?"

Ye Bi glanced at it, and said: "According to etiquette, it should be through the main entrance, but."

She heard that there are quite a lot of concubines in Xingping County, and the side concubines, wives and concubines filled the inner courtyard, but she didn't know who is in charge now.

As soon as Li Rui got off the carriage, he saw a handsome young man coming out from the corner gate surrounded by everyone.
