Queen's Development

Chapter 276 Thunderbolt
After taking the antidote, Lian Ji only felt cool and comfortable from her throat to her stomach, and the sharp pain in her abdomen gradually weakened and finally disappeared.

There was cold sweat all over her forehead and face, she was dripping wet, her underwear was soaked, she closed her eyes, trying to relax herself.

Wu Yan walked past her slowly with her hands behind her back, her voice was low and slow: "Your father's name is Hai Linbao, your mother's maiden name is Bai, and you have four older brothers named Hai Dalang, Hai Erlang, Hai Sanlang and Hai Shilang. , are now married."

He stopped in his tracks, with a smile in his peach blossom eyes: "Hai Yulian, am I right?"

Lian Ji whimpered and wailed, looking at Wu Yan with pleading eyes.

Wu Yan looked up at her, Taohua's eyes were clear: "Don't worry, as long as you can protect and take care of Princess Naya well, the prince and side concubine will reward your family, and even you and the side concubine will make arrangements .”

He already understood that Lian Ji's weakness was her family!

Lian Ji closed her eyes again, and finally had some hope in her heart.

To her, nothing is more important than family.

Lin Jia originally wanted to spend more time with Yuzhi at home in the name of recuperating, but who knew that although he was "ill", there were many people who should see him and things to do, so in the end he had to cheer up went.

Emperor Yongtai observed Lin Jia secretly, seeing that Lin Jia had been recuperating in the palace for a period of time, and his complexion had indeed improved a lot, so he couldn't help laughing secretly, and immediately took the little emperor's grandson Ayin to the Songshan Hot Spring Palace on the pretext of the coldness in the capital.

Because he was afraid that Lin Jia and Yu Zhi would worry about A Yin's safety, Emperor Yongtai only brought along one concubine, Concubine Lian Hui, who was closely related to the Prince's Mansion, not even Empress Jiang, let alone the other concubines.

Yuzhi had been lethargic during this time, she sent Lin Jia away, and she went back to her room to sleep.

It wasn't until almost noon that Yuzhi woke up.

Han Lin helped Yuzhi get up, first served her to drink a cup of warm water, then called Chunyu and the others to come in, and waited for Yuzhi to get up, wash and make up.

After dressing up, Yuzhi went to the Ming room.

As soon as Yuzhi had finished her breakfast, Jin'er came in to report, saying that Nanny Shen and Nanny Dong had brought Ting Lan and Wan'er back from Canal Biezhuang.

Yuzhi was still a little sleepy at first, but she couldn't help smiling when she heard this: "Let them come over!"

Nanny Shen brought Ting Lan, Nanny Dong brought Wan'er, and Qi Qi greeted Yuzhi.

Yuzhi beckoned Ting Lan and Wan'er to come over, took a closer look, and saw that their complexion was very good, rosy, and their eyes were clear, looking good, so she asked a few more questions and found that Ting Lan was smarter She is more active and has a lively personality, while Wan'er is older, but she is timid and appears to be introverted.

However, both Ting Lan and Wan'er seemed to be happy, Ting Lan smiled and snuggled up to her coquettishly, while Wan'er was timid, but also snuggled up to Yuzhi.

Seeing Tinglan and Wan'er like this, Yuzhi naturally thought of her Changan.
She sighed, and told Han Lin with a smile: "Tinglan and Wan'er are both very good, and they have contributed a lot to their people. Nanny Shen and Nanny Dong each rewarded a pair of golden scorpions, and two first-class maids Shihua and Run Ye will be rewarded with a gold key each, and the other two second-class maids will each be rewarded with a silver key!"

When Nanny Shen and the others heard the words, they all beamed with joy and bowed their knees to thank each other.

Yu Zhi asked them to take Ting Lan and Wan'er back to the East Wing to rest, but left Nanny Shen behind, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty took A Yin to the Songshan Hot Spring Palace, and Shen Xiu followed. It's the end of December!"

When Nanny Shen heard the words, she was both joyful and emotional, her eyes were moist, and her voice was a little choked up: "Thank you for your support, side concubine."

Yuzhi smiled slightly, and said: "You and Feiying have another daughter quickly, and we will send them here to accompany the princess in the future!"

Nanny Shen wiped her eyes and answered "Yes" with a smile.

After Mrs. Shen left, Yuzhi ate some breakfast casually, and ordered seven second-class maids, Chunyu, Cherry, Yiyun, Nepeta, Mint, Rosemary, and Dill, to come in, and twelve other third-class maids. Waiting for the maid to stand in the corridor.

Yu Zhi took a sip of the peach juice, put down the crystal cup containing the peach juice, and slowly scanned the seven second-class maidservants standing in the open room with their heads bowed.

These seven second-class maids are all between 14 and 16 years old, just like flowers, especially Yiyun, Cherry and Chunyu, whose beauty surpasses everyone else.

Seeing these people standing there respectfully, Yuzhi said slowly: "I heard that there are eight second-class maidservants in Songyuan, but now there are only seven left, because Lian Ji has already been disposed of!"

"You all know the reason why Lian Ji was dealt with, so I won't mention it anymore. I'm going to say something here today. Listen to the people in Songyuan, don't try to climb up by relying on the sleeping master! If anyone has this idea , stand up now, let me see if you have the qualifications, if so, I will give you a chance! There are so many lustful dignitaries in the capital, this matter is very easy!"

She snorted, and said: "But I will never arrange someone to sleep with the lord. If someone violates my taboo, Lian Ji will be a lesson from the past!"

The seven second-class maids stood there as quietly as chickens, not daring to make a sound.

The twelve third-class maids in the corridor were also silent.

Yuzhi slowed down her tone, and her voice was much gentler: "I just spoke, and I didn't lie. Whoever has this idea can stand up now and let me take a look!"

Cherry and Chunyu both looked at Yiyun when they heard the words.

Yiyun's heart was pounding, she didn't know if Yuzhi was really willing to recommend her, or if she wanted to lure the snake out of the hole and trample the snake to death.

How smart Yuzhi is, she found out that Yingying and Chunyu were looking at Yiyun, but she purposely smiled and asked Yingying: "Xingying, what are your plans?"

Cherry took a step forward, Qiqi Ai said: "Qi Qi reports to the side concubine, slave girl thinks"

At this time, her mind was in a mess. She wanted to climb the bed with her beauty and become the top person, but also wanted to serve her side concubine, get married and have a child and live an ordinary life. She was speechless for a while.

Yuzhi was not in a hurry, she picked up the crystal cup and took a sip.

There are earthworms in the house, but it is still a bit dry. She needs to replenish water, but she doesn't like to drink plain water, so she has been drinking freshly squeezed juices such as pear juice, peach juice, orange juice, and apple juice in the morning.

Cherry looked at the crystal cup in Yuzhi's hand, then looked at Concubine Bai's beautiful face, and finally thought of the gentle eyes of the prince when he looked at Concubine Bai, and realized that she wanted to repeat Concubine Bai's journey from maid to concubine The road is really too difficult. After a moment of silence, he said in a deep voice: "I want to report to my side concubine, I want to serve you well, and I will have a happy ending like Sister Hanlin in the future!"

Yuzhi laughed, glanced at Han Lin, and made Han Lin blush.

Han Lin recalled that Yuzhi had called A Lan in to discuss the date of marriage with him yesterday, her face was burning hot, and she bowed her head in silence.

Yuzhi smiled and said, "Don't the others have anything to say?"

All the servant girls glanced at each other, bowed their knees and saluted together: "The slaves and servants are willing to serve the side concubine well, and there is absolutely no second heart!"

"Remember what you said today," Yuzhi said calmly, "If there is any violation in the future, the punishment will be doubled, and no mercy will be given."

She likes Lin Jia and is absolutely unwilling to share Lin Jia with others. Even if others say that she is not virtuous or jealous, she will never hand over Lin Jia to others just to pretend to be virtuous.

Yuzhi knew very well in her heart that she was Lin Jia's concubine, not Lin Jia's wife, so why bother talking about being virtuous and virtuous!
The plan has been decided, Yu Zhi said: "From this month on, I heard that the monthly silver for the first-class maids in Songyuan will increase to ten taels of silver, the second-class maids will have six taels of silver, and the third-class maids will have three taels of silver!"

When the maids heard this, their eyes were filled with joy. You must know that the first-class maids from rich families generally only have one tael of silver, while the third-class maids here are only three taels of silver.

Yu Zhi observed the reactions of the maids, and then said with a smile: "I heard that there should be six first-class maids in Songyuan as a rule, and now there are only Han Lin, Jin'er, Ye Bi and Ye Ling, and there are still two missing. Let’s make it up, the other one will be chosen from the second-class maids.”

She slowed down, looked at Chun Yu whose eyes were shining with joy, and continued: "I heard that there are eight second-class maids in Songyuan as a rule. Now that Lian Ji has been disposed of, Chun Yu has been promoted, and two vacancies have been vacated. Promoted from the third-class servant girl, let's see everyone's performance!"

All the maids thanked them, and then filed out.

Yuzhi watched with a smile as the dozens of servant girls retreated in an orderly manner.

She is very lazy and doesn't want to bother, so she made rules to let these people know: If you obey the rules, you will be rewarded and you will be able to stand out; if you don't obey the rules and break the rules, you will be punished.

In this way, rules are formed, and Tingsongyuan will be orderly.

This time she took some trouble to rectify it. She heard that the Songyuan could live in peace for at least half a year, so she didn't have to worry about it.

After the maids retreated, Yu Zhi felt very tired, but knew that she was pregnant and couldn't lie down all the time, so she asked Chun Yu to go outside to check the weather, if the weather was good, she would go for a walk, if the weather was bad, she would stay in the room read.

Chun Yu went out to watch for half a day, then came back and said, "Side concubine, it's sunny outside, but the wind is a bit strong"

Yuzhi laughed, and told Yiyun: "Take out that jade satin ferret cloak with bamboo leaf pattern, I want to go for a walk!"

After leaving Tingsongyuan, Yuzhi walked slowly along a bluestone path, Han Lin and Chun Yu followed closely behind.

Then there are nepeta and mint.

Yuzhi looked at it for a long time, but felt that her eyes were full of dead branches, and everywhere was bleak. Although the sun was hanging in the sky, she shivered as if she was suffering from cold, as if the sun was always cold.

The north wind was howling, and a big snowstorm was brewing.

Yuzhi walked slowly, and walked outside Yuli Garden without knowing it.

After thinking for a while, she walked towards Yuli Garden.

Cold and Chunyu hurriedly followed.

Nepeta Mint was chosen by Li Rui, so he followed in with all his heart.

Seeing that Concubine Bai was about to come in, the guard at the gate of Yuli Garden hurriedly bowed his hands and saluted: "Greetings to Concubine Bai!"

Yuzhi thought for a while and asked, "Is the old prince coming out of Yuli Garden?"

The servant hurriedly said: "To my side concubine, the old prince always plays in the Yuli Garden, and has never left the Yuli Garden!"

Yuzhi nodded slightly, and said: "Don't let irrelevant people enter Yuli Garden, if the old prince wants to leave Yuli Garden, you must stop him first, and then report to me!"

The boy hurriedly agreed.

Yuzhi entered Yuli Garden and walked slowly.

As the name suggests, Yuli Garden is naturally full of pear trees.If the pear blossoms are in full bloom in spring, thousands of pear trees bloom like snow, and the pear blossoms under the moon are so beautiful, but now it is winter, leaving only the blue sky, dark dead trees, red walls and yellow tiles, how can you think of spring? Splendid and prosperous.

Yuzhi walked slowly, her footsteps were soft, and she gradually came to the rockery between Yuli Garden and Taohuayuan.

This rockery is so high that ordinary people can’t get over it. Therefore, when the East Courtyard was being renovated, it was used to separate the Yuli Garden and the Peach Blossom Garden for the sake of beauty. There was no additional wall built in this section.

She was about to turn around, but was held back by Chun Yu.

Chun Yu said in a low voice: "Side concubine, look over there!"

Yuzhi followed Chunyu's hand and looked over, only to find a man and a woman nestled in the shade of the rockery between Yuliyuan and Taohuayuan, sitting with their backs to them, hugging each other tightly, and they seemed to be making out.

Han Lin also looked over intently, and said in a low voice: "The side concubine, that woman looks like Jin Xiuzhu, and the man looks like..."

That man really looks like a prince from behind, but why is the prince here at this time?

Chun Yu glanced at Yu Zhi, and felt that the man looked like a prince from the back, but dared not say it.

Yuzhi frowned and stood there, staring at it again and again, her heart pounding—this back is thin and straight, she really looks like Lin Jia, but why is Lin Jia here? Shouldn't he go to court? You should handle government affairs in the imperial study!
She took a deep breath, and whispered to Chun Yu: "Go and ask the boys to come over quietly!"

The boys came quickly.

Yuzhi ordered them to quietly invite the people from the rockery down.

At this time, the two people on the rockery were still kissing, and they were not afraid of the severe cold, and they were kissing inseparably.

The leading servant is called Bao Mo, who is only 13 years old this year. He looked at the person sitting on the rockery, and suddenly said: "Side concubine, that's the old prince!"

Yuzhi: "."

Baomo nodded affirmatively: "Side concubine, look, the old prince is wearing a plain white satin snowfox robe with silver patterns, and a black jade belt around his waist. It was chosen by the subordinates for the old prince in the morning!"

He was very clever, took a look at Yuzhi, raised his voice and called "Old Prince", the two people on the rockery were frightened and immediately separated, and they all looked at Yuzhi.

Yuzhi: "."

After a while, the stubborn Jin Xiuzhu and the ignorant Xingping County Wang Lintao were invited down.

Yuzhi looked at these two people in confusion, and for the first time in her life, she felt that her brain was not enough—how did these two irrelevant people get together?
She looked at Jin Xiuzhu, and found that Jin Xiuzhu's temples were fluffy, her skirts were half covered, her snow-white breasts were half exposed in the cold weather, and her lips were red and wet.

Yuzhi looked at Lin Jia's father, Lin Tao, king of Xingping County, and found that although Lin Tao was over forty years old, he was still very handsome. He was clearly the mature version of Lin Jia, but Lin Tao's pair of phoenix eyes, which were very similar to Lin Jia, were clear and shiny , or the eyes of a child.

She remembered clearly that Lin Tao's IQ is like a child's now!
Looking at this scene, Yuzhi felt a little hopeless—what the hell is going on!
Yuzhi quickly regained her composure, and told Baomo: "You take someone to accompany the old prince back to the room first, and let Ah Lan come to ask the prince!"

He also ordered Nepeta Mint: "Take Jin Xiuzhu and follow me back!"

When Jin Xiuzhu saw Nepeta Mint approaching, she hummed, raised her chin and said, "Don't grab me, I'll go by myself!"

Now that she has nothing to fear, she is not afraid of Bai Yuzhi!

Seeing Jin Xiuzhu leaving with the others, Lin Tao burst into tears, and was about to rush over wiping away his tears.

Baomo reacted quickly, hugged Lin Tao's waist from behind, and dragged Lin Tao down.

Only then did the other boys react, and surrounded Lin Tao to stop him.

Yuzhi didn't dare to delay, and hurriedly left.

Although she was two months pregnant, she has always been in good health. She walked like flying while pregnant, and she took people to Tingsongyuan.

Chun Yu has always seen the weak Liu Fufeng, the delicate and beautiful white side concubine, but when she saw Yu Zhi's current appearance, she was stunned and hurriedly followed.

Yuzhi leaned on the embroidered pillow and leaned on the arhat bed, Han Lin knelt beside her, silently massaging Yuzhi's legs and feet.

Jin Xiuzhu stood upright on the bright red carpet in the open room, said "I want to see my mother", and then didn't speak again.

Doctor Jin came over soon.

Seeing her mother coming, Jin Xiuzhu said: "Mother, I am pregnant with the prince's child!"

Yuzhi: "."

The female doctor Jin was also frightened, her face was ashen, her voice trembling: "Where, which king, prince?"

Jin Xiuzhu rolled her eyes and looked at Yuzhi, with a smug look on her clear face: "The prince is the prince, who else is there!"
