Queen's Development

Chapter 253
Yuzhi slept until midnight and woke up again.

I don't know when the wind blew outside, and the whistling of the wind, mixed with the "click" sound of the branches being broken by the wind in the front and back of the yard, made the loneliness of the night even more evident.

Yuzhi looked at A Yin who was sleeping on the side of the bed, helped A Yin cover the thin quilt, leaned over and sniffed A Yin's soft body, and felt that the smell was really fresh.

She buried her face on A Yin's back, calculating Lin Jia's itinerary in her heart.

Counting the time, if there is no accident, Lin Jia may have arrived in Liaozhou, and should be rectifying the army and surveying the terrain.

Thinking of Lin Jia, Yuzhi couldn't help but sigh.

She changed her mind and thought of Naya who was far away in the northwest, and her heart was even more empty.

A Yin seemed to smell her mother's breath in the dream, turned over, and slipped into Yuzhi's arms like a kitten.

Yu Zhi caressed A Yin's chubby body, and finally she felt a little bit of irony in her heart: "No matter what, A Yin is by my side, so we must educate A Yin well.
Yuzhi woke up the next morning and found that it was raining outside, but her arms were empty——Ayin's giggling was coming from the yard, where he was playing with water!
Yuzhi put on her clothes and stood at the window to look out.

It was still raining lightly outside, and the leaves of the flowers and trees were all wet and shiny green.

A Yin and Li Hanxing Yeluxiao played in the low-lying pond in the yard together, their clothes were almost soaked, but they were extremely happy, their black phoenix eyes were shining, and the dimples on their cheeks appeared and disappeared.

Yuzhi couldn't help smiling, looked east, and saw Qingcha sitting on the east porch, staring blankly at Ayin and the others playing, with tears in her eyes.

She was taken aback for a moment, then looked over intently, and found that Qingcha quietly wiped away her tears with her sleeve.

At this moment, the bead curtain hanging on the bedroom door was raised, and Han Lin and Ye Bi walked in.

Han Lin smiled and said, "Side concubine, do you want to wash up now?"

Yuzhi gave a "hmm" and took another look at Qingcha before turning around and walking away.

After washing up, Yuzhi went out of the room and walked along the veranda to Qingcha. Qingcha was watching Xiao Shizi fetch water with a branch, when she saw Yuzhi coming, she wanted to get up and salute.

Yuzhi lightly pressed Qingcha's shoulder, and said softly: "You don't need to get up, you can continue to sit down!"

Her hand continued to rest on the back of the tea and did not take it away.

After watching with Qingcha for a while, Yuzhi suddenly asked Qingcha with a smile: "Qingcha, you have been married for so many years and have never had a child?"

Qing Cha stayed for a moment, then said: "No, no."

Yuzhi didn't speak, she put her hand on Qingcha's back, and clearly felt that when she asked that sentence just now, Qingcha's back suddenly became stiff!

Her eyes narrowed, and she looked at a wet and green privet plant outside the corridor, half a day to help Youyou said: "I also have children, so I know that in this world, children are the most worrying things for a mother!"

Qingcha sat there motionless, her back was stiff, her hands hidden in her sleeves were clenched tightly, and Yuzhi's hands on her back seemed very hot.

Yu Zhi smiled slightly, and said: "If you have a child, tell me, I will find a way to take your child over, and let you reunite with the child!"

Qingcha was silent for a moment, and then said: "Where do I have children?"

Yuzhi smiled, and took Han Lin back to her room.

After sitting down on the Arhat bed, Yuzhi called Ye Bi to come closer, and said in a low voice: "You have been following the prince during this time, pay attention to the movement of Qingcha!"

Ye Bi's expression became serious, and she whispered: "Side concubine, is it her tea?"

Yuzhi shook her head and said, "I don't know either, but we must be cautious, so let's be careful!"

Ye Bi went out immediately.

After breakfast, Yu Zhi called Han Lin and A Lan, and said: "I suddenly want to eat fresh lotus seeds, but it's not the season, you two go out and have a look, if there are any for sale, give me more Buy some back!"

As soon as Han Lin and A Lan left, Lin Yi's wife, Qiao Shi, came over.

Mrs. Qiao is from a family background. Every time she went out, she hugged each other. The maids and mother-in-law followed a lot. Although it was raining lightly today, there were no exceptions.

When Yuzhi heard that Mrs. Qiao was coming, she didn't get up to greet her, but sat there as before.

Mrs. Qiao walked over with the help of a delicate maid, seeing that Yu Zhi didn't come out to greet her, she felt a little annoyed, she snorted, and continued to walk forward.

Yuzhi was sitting on the Arhat's bed, sipping a cup of tea, when she saw Mrs. Qiao coming in, she put the tea cup on the small red sandalwood table beside her as if nothing had happened, and looked up.

Seeing that Yu Zhi still had no intention of getting up to greet her, Mrs. Qiao had no choice but to go forward and bowed her knees stiffly: "I've seen the side concubine!"

Yu Zhi glanced at Mrs. Qiao with a smile, and said, "Get up!"

He said again: "Ye Ling, watch the seats!"

After sitting down, Mrs. Qiao raised her eyes to look at Yuzhi, seeing her beautiful face, graceful attitude, and very temperament, she couldn't help but thought: If he didn't know the details of Concubine Bai, who would know that she was born as a maid?Isn't it a skill for a servant girl to step up to the present and dominate Lin Jia?
Thinking about it this way, she put away the contempt just now, and began to chat with Yuzhi cautiously.

After chatting for a few words, Qiao Shi talked about her grandmother.

Yuzhi knew that her grandmother was Princess Yiyang, but she just pretended not to know and didn't go to greet Princess Yiyang.

Seeing that Yu Zhi refused to talk to her, Mrs. Qiao had no choice but to change the subject and said, "Side concubine, I rule the world with filial piety. We are supported by the people, so we should set an example for the people and show filial piety to the elders!"

As soon as Yu Zhi heard this, she knew that Qiao Shi was going to get down to business, so she looked over with a pair of wonderful eyes, and looked at Qiao Shi with a half-smile.

When Qiao was seen by Yuzhi, she felt that Yuzhi had seen through all her calculations. She couldn't help being a little embarrassed, and she felt a little stage fright at the moment, but she knew that Lin Yi was still waiting for news from her, so she had to bite the bullet and said: "Father, concubine, concubine, although There are many, but Aunt Huang is the one who loves her the most, she once said that Aunt Huang will take care of her sick bed in the future."

She didn't dare to look into Yuzhi's eyes, she lowered her eyes and said, "Since that's the case, how can we disobey our father, why don't we leave Aunt Huang behind and let her take care of my father!"

Yuzhi laughed, took a sip of the tea cup, and said calmly: "We have to be filial, but now, in order to make it easier for Mr. Liu to treat the old prince, I have arranged for four servants to be here in the morning Waiting in the prince's room, because the old prince needs to be moved, so these four servants all choose strong and strong young men, and Aunt Huang is in the young Ai, so I'm afraid it's not suitable?"

Mrs. Qiao didn't expect Yuzhi to be so powerful. She took control of the old prince's courtyard as soon as she came here, and arranged everyone in. But she hadn't received the news yet, so she was ashamed and angry, and said immediately: "Since my concubine got married, the old man The lord let the concubine be in charge of the palace of Xingping County. Unexpectedly, when the side concubine arrived, she would take charge of the affairs of the Xingping County palace."

Yuzhi smiled lightly, and looked at Mrs. Qiao with a pair of clear eyes: "I'm just following the instructions of His Majesty and Prince He!"

It was indeed Lin Jia who had reported to Emperor Yongtai, and that's why Yu Zhi came here. Although Yu Zhi said so, although there was suspicion of pulling the tiger's skin to pull the banner, no one could argue with it.

Qiao Shi simply had nothing to say, she said countless words, and Yuzhi could stop her with a single word, so she got up resentfully, said goodbye and left.

Seeing that Mrs. Qiao left in a huff, Yuzhi was in a good mood, and ordered: "Mr. Liu has already gone to the courtyard of the outer study to treat the prince, I will go and see it too!"

Seeing Yuzhi's group leaving under umbrellas, Qingcha felt a little flustered, she stayed there for a while, and saw Ye Ling who had been watching by the side hurriedly left, as if to relieve himself, so she got up and went to the waiter in the West Pavilion , and soon came out with a cup of tea.

A lot of water had accumulated in the low-lying areas of the yard. Ah Yin was standing in the small puddle, bending over and playing with a lotus flower. Li Hanxing and Ye Luxiao also took off their shoes and rolled up their trouser legs to play with him.

Qing Cha walked over and said with a smile: "Your Majesty is thirsty, drink some sugar water!"

A Yin glanced at her, a little puzzled, and didn't speak.

Li Hanxing knew that Qing Cha was someone close to the side concubine, so he didn't care.

Ye Luxiao looked over casually, and saw that although Qingcha was smiling, the muscles on his face were very stiff, and the hands holding the teacup trembled slightly, knowing something was wrong.

He narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the teacup in Qingcha's hand. The fine white porcelain teacup contained water, which was slightly cloudy—there was something wrong with the water!

Yeluxiao's heart beat faster, and just about to speak, he remembered those soldiers under his command who died at the hands of Lin Jia.
