Queen's Development

Chapter 312
As soon as she entered the palace gate, Mrs. Jiang stopped there, her wrinkled face froze there.

Funing Hall is still the same as it was before, with majestic palaces, red walls and yellow tiles, and lush flowers and trees in the garden.

But Funing Hall is different from before: the palace has experienced wind and rain from spring to summer, and it is mottled and mottled, and it is time to repaint; The palace ladies and eunuchs on the upper corridor of the corridor come and go, and the concubines who come to pay their respects are constantly flowing. Now no one passes by on the upper corridor of the corridor, and the weeds grow wildly, almost covering the corridor paved with white marble.

The female officer in charge of escorting Mrs. Jiang is Lichun.

Seeing Mrs. Jiang like this, Li Chun said in a low voice: "Old Madam, since the Qingming Festival, the Empress has been staying in Funing Hall every day, and even Her Majesty refuses to see her."

Mrs. Jiang frowned: "Isn't it because of the baby in the womb?"

Lichun glanced at the old lady, but hesitated to speak.

Mrs. Jiang didn't ask any more questions, and walked towards the main hall while holding the servant girl's hand.

The hall was empty and eerily quiet.

Mrs. Jiang helped the maid into the hall, looked around, and finally found Jiang Zhen on the beauty's couch in front of the French window.

Jiang Zhen sat on the beauty couch with a vermilion embroidered pillow in her arms, with one leg curled up and the other stretched out, she lost all manner, and just stared out of the window blankly.

Mrs. Jiang sighed, walked over, sat down on the beauty's couch, turned away the waiters, and then said: "Ah Zhen, people leave as soon as they leave, the living should look forward, and you too You have to look forward!"

Jiang Zhen was so thin that she lost her shape, her face was only the size of a palm, and her neck was so thin and long that it was almost transparent, it looked a little scary.

She didn't seem to hear Mrs. Jiang's words, and looked outside by herself.

In fact, there is only a bunch of green plantains growing outside.

Mrs. Jiang tried to persuade her for a long time, but she was very disappointed when she saw that Jiang Zhen was indifferent. Before leaving, she said a serious sentence: "Ah Zhen, no matter how unbelievable you are, not only will you give up on yourself, but the Jiang family will also give up on you!"

Jiang Zhen still looked at the plantain outside, her once beautiful eyes were now like a pool of stagnant water.

Seeing this, Mrs. Jiang sighed, helped the maid and left.

Lichun sent Mrs. Jiang away, came back and sat with Jiang Zhen for a while, said: "Empress, you can't behave like this anymore, the old lady said just now, if you continue to behave like this, our mansion will send the sixth girl to you. Come in."

Miss Jiang Liu is Jiang Zhen's concubine sister, her name is Jiang Lian, she looks more like Jiang Wangfei than Jiang Fang, but she was younger before, so she never participated in the election, and now she is 15 years old, Jiang has long been The intention of sending Jiang Lian into the palace was because of Jiang Zhen, so she didn't send it in.

Jiang Zhen remained motionless.

Lichun talked to himself for a long time, and felt bored, so he got up and went out.

In the evening Lin Jia and Yuzhi went back to Tingsongyuan together.

People who met people in the mansion along the way all beamed and saluted: "I have met His Royal Highness and Princess!"

Every time at this time, Yuzhi would always laugh so hard that she couldn't see her eyes, and said triumphantly, "Let's get flat!"

Seeing her joy so straightforward, Lin Jia couldn't help but find it funny, but before the smile widened, it turned into sadness—Yuzhi had waited for this day for too long
Yu Zhi took Lin Jia's hand, surrounded by everyone, just walked to the gate of Tingsong Courtyard, when she heard A Yin's voice from the courtyard: "Uncle Rui, should my parents be back?"

Hearing this, Yuzhi couldn't help laughing, and said, "Ayin, your mother is here!"

Hearing a cheer, Lin Yin rushed over and threw herself into Yuzhi's arms.

Followed by Ting Lan and Wan'er.

Li Rui, Ting Lan and Wan'er's husband Li Helan also came out.

Mint and other servant girls followed behind.

Ting Lan and Wan'er bowed their knees in a similar manner: "I've seen my parents!"

As soon as Yu Zhi helped Ting Lan and Wan'er up, she saw Li Rui who was saluting among the crowd. She had mixed feelings in her heart, and her eyes became moist unconsciously.

Li Rui got up and looked at Yuzhi, his eyes were a little moist - after all these years in Beijing, Yuzhi finally got what he wanted.
Seeing this, Lin Jia knew that she should not take it to heart, but she felt a little sour in her heart for no reason.

He thought for a while, then lowered his head to find Yuzhi's hand, and held it in his own.

Yuzhi's hand hurt a little from Lin Jia's pinching, she glanced at Lin Jia with a half-smile, and laughed again.

At this time, the naughty Bao Ayin jumped up and threw herself into Yuzhi's arms—the mother was pregnant with her younger brother, and she hadn't hugged him for a long time!
Yuzhi reacted quickly, smiled and caught Lin Yin with one hand, and easily walked towards the courtyard with Lin Yin in her arms.

When Ting Lan and Wan'er saw their elder brother being carried away by their mother, they both watched eagerly.

Seeing her, Lin Jia remembered what Yuzhi had told her, so she took Tinglan with her left hand and Wan'er with her right hand, and followed Yuzhi into Tingsongyuan.

He actually doesn't like Tinglan and Wan'er, but since Yuzhi asked him to be nice to them, then he should be nice to them so that Yuzhi won't be unhappy.

The next day, the Crown Prince's Mansion rewarded everyone in the Prince's Mansion with the excuse of celebrating the second son Lin Meng's full moon, and held a banquet to invite the dignitaries of the Zhou Dynasty and Lin Jia's cronies. It was lively for three days.

After the banquet was over, Yuzhi and Lin Jia were also exhausted, so they decided to go to Canal Villa to live together for a few days.

The backyard of Canal Villa is Lin Jia’s workshop for making muskets. In order to hide his whereabouts, more than 100 mu of poplar trees, crops and vegetables were planted around the backyard, completely covering the whole workshop.

After coming to Biezhuang, Yuzhi and Lin Jiapo spent a few days in the pastoral life.

They eat the crops, vegetables and fruits grown in the backyard of the canal, live in a small building by the canal, and listen to the waves of the canal. Every morning, Lin Jialin Jia handles government affairs in the study, and Yuzhi or the riverside Take a walk, or go to the backyard to pick fruits and vegetables, or plant flowers and grass in the garden, very leisurely.

After several days of recuperation, Yu Zhi and Lin Jia finally regained their vitality.

This day, Yuzhi cooked lunch by herself. She cooked a dish of scrambled eggs with green peppers, a dish of fried beans with bacon, a dish of braised duck wings, and a dish of fried small fish.

After lunch, Yuzhi got up and offered a cup of fragrant tea to Lin Jia herself.

After Lin Jia finished rinsing, Yuzhi smiled and said, "Ajia, let's go home!"

Although the place is peaceful and comfortable, she misses Ah Yin and Ah Meng in the Prince's Mansion in the capital, misses listening to the plants and trees in the Songyuan, and misses the sound of the rain ticking outside the back window of the bedroom when it rains.
Most importantly, as the heir of Da Zhou, Lin Jia could not leave the capital for too long.

Lin Jiaqian moved Yuzhi to live in Canal Biezhuang, and Yuzhi also thought about Lin Jia, and she will go back after the rest.

After hearing Yuzhi's words, Lin Jia was a little shy, looked up at the green screen window, and said after a while: "Yuzhi, I miss Ah Yin and Ah Meng too."

And Naya who is far away in Xixia.
Yuzhi laughed: "I thought about it too!"

She stretched her waist: "I really want to sleep with the chubby A Yin and A Meng in my arms!"

Lin Jia looked at Yuzhi with a smile, and felt strange: So I will have such a beautiful Yuzhi and give birth to such good children
On June [-], Lin Jia took Yuzhi back to the capital.

That night, when Lin Jia was walking with Yu Zhi in Tingsong Courtyard, Li Hanxing hurried over: "His Royal Highness, Crown Princess, Raven has returned from Western Xia, and now Lord Li is waiting for him in the concierge with him." !"

Lin Jia heard this, looked at Yu Zhi, saw Yu Zhi nodding her head slightly, and then said: "Let them in!"

Raven soon followed Li Rui and Li Hanxing.

His skin was tanned, he was much thinner than before, but he was even more sturdy, his steps were light and nimble, like a cheetah ready to attack at any time, extremely agile.

After paying respects to Lin Jia and Yu Zhi, Li Rui said directly: "Your Highness, Crown Princess, Raven has something urgent to report!"

Lin Jia looked at Raven and said in a deep voice, "Say it!"

Afraid of missing something, Raven lowered his eyes to think for a moment, and then said: "His Royal Highness, the princess, I went to Xixia, first met Ling Que and Jin'er, and then met Princess Naya through them. Princess Naya is fatter than before. A little taller, and a little taller, very cute. Later Liang Chen came to see his subordinates and asked them to pass a message to Liang Di—"

He raised his eyes to look at Yuzhi, his eyes were calm: "Liangchen's original words are—'July [-]th begging for cleverness, the medicine-haired puppet of the Jinmingchi Palace, you don't need to look at it'."

After hearing this, Yuzhi thought for a long time, then frowned and said, "What is a 'drug hair puppet'?"

Lin Jia glanced at Li Rui.

Li Rui immediately said: "I want to report to the Crown Princess, the so-called 'drug hair puppets' are actually the acrobatics in the circuses of the Zhou armies, the pyrotechnics in the puppet shows, and the illusion performed with gunpowder. These acrobatics, fireworks Acrobatics and illusions all use gunpowder 'explosive battles' and 'breathing fire' to avoid people and change things by spraying out smoke and fire clouds, making them appear magical and blurred, this is the drug hair puppet."

Yuzhi reacted quickly, and immediately said: "Then what does the so-called 'July [-]th Begging Festival of the Jinmingchi Palace' medicine hair puppet' mean?"

Lin Jiafeng narrowed her eyes slightly, and said softly: "According to the tradition of the Great Zhou Dynasty, every five years, the Jinming Pond Palace will be opened on the night of Qiqiao Festival on the seventh day of July, and a Qixi night party will be held, and a puppet show will be performed."

Yuzhi heard this, her heart moved, she raised her eyes to look at Lin Jia: "Ajia, gunpowder!"
