Queen's Development

Chapter 286
Emperor Yongtai rested in Funing Hall last night.

Empress Jiang personally waited on Emperor Yongtai to get up.

Seeing that Jiang Zhen was still serving him with a big belly, Emperor Yongtai was naturally moved. He stretched out his hand to touch Jiang Zhen's swollen belly, and said softly, "The empress has worked hard!"

Jiang Zhen smiled gently, looked up at Emperor Yongtai, her peach blossom eyes were full of admiration: "This concubine will not feel tired if she can spread branches and leaves for His Majesty to prolong his heirs!"

When Emperor Yongtai heard the words, a pensive look appeared on his face.

Jiang Zhen knew there was something going on, so she said with a respectful face, "I understand that from a large country to a small family, it is a blessing for wives and concubines to live in harmony with their children and grandchildren! For example, Prince He, who will become the crown prince in the future, naturally wants to accept more wives and concubines. Sanye, give birth to a few more grandchildren for His Majesty!"

Her words hit Emperor Yongtai's heart, the only thing that Emperor Yongtai was dissatisfied with Lin Jia was that he only guarded Yuzhi as a concubine and had only one son, Ayin!
Seeing that Emperor Yongtai frowned, Jiang Zhen smiled sweetly and said, "I heard that there are several foreign princesses who have come to our Great Zhou to be candidates. If these foreign princesses can give birth to the prince's heirs, then these heirs will surely be even better. Smart and strong, these are the conclusions in the history books!"

She covered her mouth with a smile: "Your Majesty, this concubine is just joking, don't take it seriously, Your Majesty!"

A thoughtful look appeared on Emperor Yongtai's face, and he gave an absent-minded "hmm".

With a smug smile on the corner of Jiang Zhen's mouth, she took Emperor Yongtai's dress belt from Qingming's hand, lowered her head and carefully wrapped it around Emperor Yongtai.

Emperor Yongtai stood there thoughtfully, his slightly squinted phoenix eyes were full of calculations.

Today's weather is surprisingly good, the blue sky is cloudless, and the sun is shining brightly, bringing some thin warmth to this cold winter day.

After Yuzhi got up, she took Ayin and Naya for a walk in the courtyard of Tingsongyuan.

She supported Han Lin and walked slowly, Ye Bi, Ye Ling and Jin'er watched A Yin and Naya brothers and sisters running and playing in front.

Walking to Ting Yuxuan in the bamboo forest, Yuzhi sat down on the brocade couch inside Ting Yuxuan, and told Han Lin: "Let the little maid call Jin'er over here!"

Jin'er came over soon.

She was just playing the game of eagle and chicken with A Yin and Na Ya, a thin layer of sweat floated on her smooth skin: "I have seen the side concubine!"

Yuzhi smiled and looked at Jin'er, and said: "Jin'er, I plan to send two close friends, a man and a woman, to follow Naya to Xixia. I have already discussed with the prince about the man, and I am going to let Ling Que go there."

Before she finished speaking, she smiled and watched Jin'er's reaction.

Yuzhi's four most trusted maids, Ye Bi and Ye Ling are now serving A Yin, and Han Lin will marry A Lan next spring, leaving Jin'er alone.

Jin'er looks pretty, has a lively personality, and is decisive and reliable in her actions. Yu Zhi is interested in Jin'er going to Xixia with Naya, but the twisted melon is not sweet.

After hearing Yuzhi's words, Jin'er's face turned slightly red, her eyes were watery, and she didn't dare to look at Yuzhi anymore.

Seeing Jin'er's appearance like this, Yuzhi knew that Jin'er was happy in her heart, so she couldn't help smiling, but after thinking about it, she hurriedly said: "I can't guarantee that you and Ling Que will be very safe, when we get there, everything depends on you! "

Jin'er raised her eyes to look at Yu Zhi, her eyes were full of determination: "Side concubine, I'm not afraid."

As long as she can be with Ling Que, no matter how hard it is, she will not be afraid.

Yuzhi thought for a while and said: "You go back and discuss it with your mother and your father. If they agree, you can come to see me again, okay?"

Jin'er shyly said: "Yes, side concubine!"

At this moment, a little maid's voice came from outside: "Speaking to my side concubine, Steward Li is back!"

When Yuzhi heard this, she was overjoyed and was anxious to get up to meet Li Rui.

Jin'er and Han Lin hurriedly helped her up from left to right.

As soon as Yuzhi walked out of Tingyuxuan, she saw Li Rui walking over with Ling Que on the path among the bamboo forests.

Li Rui wore a blue cloth robe and a black satin belt around his waist. He seemed to have lost a lot of weight, his eyes were calm, and he looked more and more delicate, gentle and gentle like jade.

Ling Que was of medium build, about half a head lower than Li Rui, with a pair of beautiful peach blossom eyes smiling, talking to Li Rui.

Li Rui caught sight of Yuzhi coming out, a smile appeared in his clear and quiet eyes, he couldn't help speeding up his pace, and soon walked to the bottom of the steps of Tingyu Pavilion, looked up at Yuzhi with a smile, and there seemed to be stars shining in his eyes .

Yuzhi was both surprised and delighted: "Li Rui, you're finally back!"

Li Rui let out a "hmm", took a deep breath, and bowed his hands: "I've seen the side concubine!"

Ling Que was talking to Li Rui, and Li Rui walked away before he could finish speaking. He gave a soft "ah" and chased after Li Rui with a smile. He stood beside Li Rui and bowed his hands in salute: "This subordinate has seen the side concubine!"

Jin'er supported Yu Zhi, and secretly glanced at Ling Que, who happened to be looking at her too, and their eyes immediately met.

Ling Que's smile deepened and her eyes were filled with laughter, but Jin'er lowered her head shyly.

Yuzhi and Li Rui were talking, and she saw the situation of Ling Que and Jin'er secretly in her busy eyes, she couldn't help smiling, and said: "Ling Que, you accompany Jin'er to see Mr. Liu and Jin'er's mother, and discuss about Jin'er and you Accompanying Naya to Western Xia!"

Ling Que answered "yes" and gave Jin'er a wink. When Jin'er came over, they saluted Yuzhi together and left together.

Li Rui followed Yu Zhi's gaze, smiled and said in a low voice, "Side concubine, do you want to match them?"

Yuzhi gave a "hmm" and smiled brightly: "I like to see lovers get married, and good people get rewarded!"

Li Rui chewed on Yu Zhi's words, and felt that they were plain at first, but when he savored them carefully, there was endless sadness - how many lovers in this world can get married?How many good people have been rewarded?
He thought of himself again, and his heart was seized by a sad mood, which made his body a little chilly.

Yuzhi looked at the bamboo forest rustling in the cold wind ahead, and said softly: "I also hope that the people I value can stay by my side, always get together, and never get separated."

Hearing Yuzhi's words, Li Rui's eyes lit up, and his heart shrunk from the cold gradually warmed up - as long as he could follow the prince, accompany Yuzhi, and protect and take care of the prince and princess, He is also happy!

Yuzhi glanced at Li Rui, smiled and said, "I'm afraid Ajia is going to follow His Majesty down to the Xiandian Hall to salute at this moment!"

Li Rui thought about the canonization process of the Crown Prince of the Great Zhou Dynasty, nodded, and said, "You have to go to the Taimiao to worship!"

The canonization ceremony of the crown prince in the Great Zhou Dynasty was extremely cumbersome.

On the morning of December [-], Emperor Yongtai sent Han Li, Minister of Rites, to pay homage to Tiandi and Taimiao, while Emperor Yongtai himself went to the Fengxian Hall in the palace to salute.

Next, the crown prince's ceremonial car was displayed outside the Daqing Hall, and the ceremony for the canonization of the crown prince was held in the Daqing Hall.

At the end of the ceremony, Emperor Yongtai took Lin Jia, who was wearing the crown prince's dress, to the Taimiao Temple.

The Taimiao in winter is full of green pines and cypresses, quiet and solemn, filled with the breath of sandalwood.

Emperor Yongtai, who was always amiable and amiable, also looked solemn today, saluting like a ritual under the guidance of the master of ceremonies.

After coming out of Taimiao, Emperor Yongtai brought Lin Jia back to Daqing Hall - all the ministers were waiting in Daqing Hall!
Walking to the front of the Daqing Hall, all the ministers knelt down to greet him: "Long live my emperor! His Royal Highness is a thousand years old!"

Emperor Yongtai was in a good mood, and looked at Lin Jia with a smile. Seeing that Lin Jia's collar was not straight, he reached out to help Lin Jia tidy up.

As a father, he was happy to see Lin Jia, and he was patient and considerate to Lin Jia in every possible way.

As a man who has been flirtatious all his life, when he thinks that his dear Ajia was deceived by the little girl Bai Yuzhi, he only knows to live by Bai Yuzhi and doesn't know the benefits of other women, he always feels a little regretful.

After tidying up his collar, Emperor Yongtai smiled and said: "Ajia, since you insist on living in the original mansion, then clean up the mansion well, otherwise it will not be enough for you to live in in the future!"

Lin Jia was taken aback—he and Yuzhi were a family of four, why couldn't the huge Prince He's Mansion be enough?
Before Lin Jia could ask, Emperor Yongtai looked at the ministers and said with a smile, "Everyone is flat!"

The next step is to promulgate the decree of the Jin Dynasty for the crown prince's family members in the Daqing Palace.

Lin Jia stood there calmly, only waiting for the palace banquet after the ceremony.

After the banquet is over, he can go back and reunite with Yuzhi.

Lin Jia had already made arrangements. He only had one woman, Yuzhi. First, he canonized Yuzhi as the Crown Prince Liangdi, and then looked for opportunities to make Yuzhi the Crown Princess and his real wife.

Emperor Yongtai glanced at Lin Jia, feeling guilty.

At this time, Han Li, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, picked up the imperial decree from the golden plate held by the eunuch and unfolded it, preparing to promulgate it according to the scriptures.

But after taking a look, Han Li's expression changed. He frowned and glanced at Lin Jia, then slowly began to read.

Lin Jia lowered her eyes when she heard that Yuzhi was canonized as Prince Liang Di, feeling very satisfied.

Hearing the next decree, Lin Jia's face turned pale, her phoenix eyes were full of anger and she looked at Emperor Yongtai—Princess Turanya of Xixia, Princess Pingcheng of Liao Kingdom, and Lord Lianhua of Korea were all canonized as Prince Liangyuan!

Emperor Yongtai's heart beat a little when Lin Jia saw it like this, but he knew that this was part of the crown prince's canonization ceremony. Lin Jia was a perfectionist and would definitely choose to endure it!
Lin Jia took a deep breath and suppressed her anger: It seems that I should become emperor sooner!
