Queen's Development

Chapter 281 Bargaining
It was late at night when we returned to the palace.

The north wind was whistling outside, and it was chilly.

In the four corners of the prince's sedan chair, there are red gold carved heaters, which are as warm as spring.

Lin Jia was silent all the way.

Back in the Tingsong Courtyard, Lin Jia sat down on the Arhat bed, took a sip of the tea from the maid, and placed it on the kang table.

Yuzhi could feel Lin Jia's sadness.

Probably because she lacked a sense of security since she was a child, Lin Jia hoped to be able to control everything, but Naya was out of Lin Jia's control, and Naya was Lin Jia's biological daughter.
She stepped forward and hugged Lin Jia gently.

Lin Jia closed her eyes, surrounded by the warm fragrance of Jade Garden, her restless heart gradually settled down.

After a while, realizing that Lin Jia had regained her senses, Yuzhi let go of Lin Jia and said softly, "Ajia, who is Han Qing's closest person? He always has the closest person!"

Lin Jia looked up at Yu Zhi: "I tried Han Qing's sister and nephew, but it didn't work."

Yuzhi stared into Lin Jia's eyes.

Lin Jia's eyes are standard Danfeng eyes, with upturned eye tails, thick and long eyelashes, and eyeballs that are larger than ordinary people. Even if they are ruthless, they seem to be affectionate.

She smiled slightly and said, "Isn't there still a Guizhen leader?"

Lin Jia's eyes lit up.

Yu Zhi moved closer to Lin Jia, whispered a few words, and said, "Discuss with Yang Xin and the others again, and see what they say!"

Lin Jia let out a "hmm", got up with a smile, stretched out her arms and hugged Yu Zhi off the Arhat's bed: "A Yin will come back with Father Huang tomorrow!"

Yuzhi smiled and took Lin Jia's hand: "There will be a lot of things tomorrow, let's go and rest too!"

Ah Yin really came back the next day.

Lin Jia asked A Lan to send A Yin back to the palace first, and stayed in the palace by herself to discuss the details of the crown prince canonization ceremony with Emperor Yongtai.

Yuzhi was talking with Mrs. Jiang San and sister-in-law Jiang Fang and her daughter in the east guest room when she suddenly heard a commotion outside, mixed with the sound of running "dong dong dong dong".

She immediately recognized the sound of A Yin's footsteps, and hurriedly got up to meet him.

A Yin has been out for more than a month, and seems to have grown a lot taller. He was running, but when he saw his mother coming out, he quickly stopped, walked over cautiously, and gently put his face on Yuzhi's belly: "Mom, when was my brother born?"

Yuzhi smiled: "I will be born next summer!"

Ah Yin laughed cutely, her pair of phoenix eyes, which resembled Lin Jia's spirit, shone brightly.

Mrs. Jiang San and Jiang Fang saw the son came back, knowing that Yuzhi and A Yin had been separated for a long time, and they were afraid that they would spend time with A Yin, so they got up and said goodbye.

Yu Zhi took A Yin's hand back to the main room, sat down on the Arhat bed, and began to accompany her son seriously.

The mother and son were talking, when Han Lin came in and said in a low voice: "Side concubine, the Ministry of Rites sent someone to bring the prince and your dress!"

Hearing this, Yuzhi froze for a moment, her eyes dimmed slightly—Lin Jia's dress was the crown prince's dress, and hers was the dress of the crown prince's concubine's room, after all, she is not Lin Jia's wife
A Yin is smart and sensitive, and immediately noticed Yuzhi's abnormality, and looked up at Yuzhi: "Mom, what's wrong?"

Yu Zhi embraced A Yin and said in a low voice, "It's nothing!"

The days are still long, take your time!

Yuzhi looked at Han Lin who was looking at her worriedly, and took a deep breath: "Send it in!"

The crown prince's dress is somewhat similar to the emperor's dress, with only some differences in details.

Yuzhi touched the gorgeous cyan gown, and the corners of her mouth turned up. Anyway, Lin Jia's goal has finally been achieved. Although the road ahead will be long, he has initially seen his goal after all. .

Han Lin looked at Yu Zhi, and said with a smile: "Side concubine, let's take a look at your dress!"

Yu Zhi smiled and nodded slightly, signaling Han Lin to bring up her dress.

Fearing that Yuzhi would be unhappy, Han Lin smiled and turned over the dress for Yuzhi to see: "Concubine, look, this is a double phoenix crown with two pairs of emerald phoenixes on it; this is a dress with peonies and phoenixes embroidered on it."

Yu Zhi looked at it with a smile, and when she saw the water-red dress, she lowered her eyes.

She knew clearly in her heart that if it was the crown princess's dress, the phoenix crown would be five phoenix crowns, and the dress would be red, and the dress sent to her by the Ministry of Rituals, the phoenix crowns would be double phoenix crowns, and the dress would be water red, this is the crown prince of the third rank Liangdi's dress.

She is just Lin Jia's concubine.

Seeing Yu Zhi sitting there thinking, Han Lin hurriedly said, "Cifei, your good days are yet to come."

Seeing that Han Lin was worried about herself, Yuzhi was so anxious that there was a thin layer of sweat on her forehead, she couldn't help laughing, and said softly: "I'm just unwilling, it's okay!"

She reached out to touch the exquisite embroidery on the dress, and smiled: "One day, I will stand side by side with Ajia and become his wife!"

Seeing that Yu Zhi was really not sad, Han Lin finally breathed a sigh of relief: "Side concubine, the oranges brought in as a tribute this time taste good, I'll let someone squeeze the juice!"

Yuzhi nodded, and said: "Squeeze more, and send some to the princess and Wan'er!"

It was not until evening that Lin Jia came back from the palace.

After dinner with Yuzhi, he had a short rest, and then took Yuzhi to the Lantingyi State Guesthouse.

Yuzhi sits on the Arhat bed and plays with Naya.

Han Qing and Lin Jia were sitting on the treasure chairs on the east side drinking tea, but his pair of sparkling peach blossom eyes kept smiling at Yuzhi, feeling completely relaxed and happy.

Lin Jia couldn't bear it anymore, so she looked at Han Qing: "My lord, please take a step to speak!"

Han Qing was looking at Yuzhi contentedly, and after hearing Lin Jia's words, he thought that Lin Jia just wanted to distract him from seeing Yuzhi, so he got up and accompanied Lin Jia out.

On the outside porch, Lin Jia walked to the east railing, narrowed her phoenix eyes and looked at the holly bushes outside the railing: "Let's talk about it here!"

Han Qing followed with a smile and stood side by side with Lin Jia.

Lin Jia said lightly: "Let Naya go back with me and my wife to live for a while!"

Han Qing's thick eyebrows were raised, and he said with a half-smile: "Lin Jia, I—"

Lin Jia interrupted him: "I can let Sister Ling follow you back to Xixia!"

Han Qing's half-sister is Concubine Han of Ding'an County, and Concubine Han's son Lin Lun is Han Qing's nephew. Concubine Han and Lin Lun's mother and son have long been controlled by Lin Jia.

Han Qing: "."

He lowered his eyes and leaned on the red-painted railing, thinking.

Previously, Lin Jia had made a request to exchange Naya with Concubine Han and Lin Lun's mother and son, but he refused.

But now it is worth considering to exchange Naya for a few days with Concubine Han.

After a while, Han Qing looked up at Lin Jia: "Ten days."

Lin Jia remained expressionless: "One month."

Han Qing met Lin Jia's gaze, saw that Lin Jia did not flinch, and said, "Fifteen days!"

Lin Jia replied "OK", turned around and entered the main room.

Han Qing stood for a while, then walked in, sighed, glanced at Yuzhi and Naya, feeling quite reluctant to part, but a gentleman said something quickly, and he still counted.

He sighed again, and then ordered Liangchen: "Pack up the princess's clothes, and let the princess go back to stay with Concubine Bai for a few days!"

Hearing this, Yuzhi couldn't believe her eyes, and looked at Lin Jia in surprise and joy.

Seeing that she was so happy, Lin Jia felt a little sad, and said softly, "Let's take Naya back to live for half a month!"

Yuzhi immediately hugged Naya, her eyes were moist.

Han Qing kept watching, and when he thought of being separated from Naya for half a month, he felt a little empty in his heart, and he was also a little bit reluctant to see Yuzhi crying.

A quarter of an hour later, Naya, who was wrapped tightly, was carried by Yu Zhi and boarded the sedan chair.

At the same time, Feiying and Pegasus returned to Prince He's Mansion first, and soon left Tingsong Courtyard with a small sedan chair, and went to the small courtyard where he and Mrs. Shen lived.

The sedan chair entered the courtyard, and Nanny Shen took Princess Chang'an with one hand and Shen Xiu with the other as she got out of the sedan chair, and said with a smile on her face, "Axiu, the princess will stay at our house for half a month, you should play well with the princess!"

When Shen Xiu was naughty, he liked to chase and fight with boys like A Yin, and didn't like to play with a delicate little girl like the princess, but his mother said so, so he had no choice but to agree.

In the middle of the night, Lin Jia's prince's sedan chair was carried all the way to the gate of Tingsong Courtyard.

Lin Jia hugged Naya, who was wearing a red feather gauze cloak, in one hand, and Yuzhi in the other, and they entered Tingsongyuan together.
