Queen's Development

Chapter 314
Lin Jia had already arranged for this matter, and every link was ready, but it has not been launched. Now that the Guizhen Sect is going to provoke, as long as there is an explosion in Dazhou, this matter will immediately enter the implementation state .

It wasn't until the evening that Lin Jia and Yu Zhi picked up Lin Yin together, and the three of them went back to Tingsong Courtyard.

Ever since Yuzhi began to participate in Lin Jia's government affairs, Yuzhi found that more and more senior officials and women came to see her. If she didn't screen and see everyone, she might not even have time to spend with Ah Yin and Meng.

After thinking for a while, Yuzhi finally came up with an idea—choose someone and screen those invitations for her!
Now that a decision has been made, Yuzhi starts to get busy.

According to the usual practice, as a princess, there should be six first-class maids, twelve second-class maids, sixteen third-class junior maids, and several maids who do rough work in her room.

Among the first-class maids in Yuzhi's room, Han Lin married Alan, Ye Ling and Ye Bi married Lin Yin, Jin Er married Na Ya, Shi Hua and Run Ye were married to Ting Lan and Wan Er, and Chun Yu married her. I gave it to Lin Meng, and now there is no first-class maid in the room, so I have to make up for it from the second-class maids.

Yuzhi had made up her mind a long time ago, she sat on the brocade couch in the bright room, and ordered the little maid, Fengxian, to call Cherry, Yiyun, Mint, Rosemary and Dill to come in.

After the six Cherries came in, they were all a little uneasy, and curtseyed, holding their breath and saying, "I've seen the princess!"

Yuzhi's eyes were watery, and she swept them slowly, but she didn't speak.

Cherry and the others have been serving in Songyuan for a long time, and everyone has taken care of several little maids, and they have seen the world, but when Yu Zhi sees it like this, they feel as if they are covered in ice and snow. Hold your breath and stay motionless with your knees bent.

The room was extremely quiet, except for the slight "cracking" sound of the melting iceberg in the red nasturtium flower dish, which seemed to ring in everyone's ears.

Only then did Yu Zhi say: "Get up!"

After Cherry and the others got up, they let out a sigh of relief, but they were still a little nervous, standing there respectfully, waiting for Yuzhi to speak.

Yuzhi sat leaning on the small huanghuali wood kang table with one hand, lazily told Han Lin: "Give those six gem-encrusted gold hairpins to six of them!"

Han Lin took a box, and distributed the six gem-encrusted gold hairpins in the box to Cherry and the others.

Cherry and the others took the gemstone, knowing that the Crown Princess gave such a generous reward this time, it might not be a bad thing, so they immediately relaxed, and Qiqi smiled and bowed their knees: "Thank you, Crown Princess, for the reward!"

Yiyun bowed his knees and saluted with everyone, but felt that his jacket was soaked in cold sweat, sticking to his back, sticky and cold.

Yuzhi raised her hand slightly, signaling them to get up, and then said with a smile: "You have been by my side for a long time, you are both loyal and diligent, and I see it in my eyes, and now the six of you are all promoted to the first class." Maid, according to the rules of the house, your monthly silver is ten taels of silver, and I will make up another five taels of silver, for a total of 15 taels of silver!"

Cherry and the others were overjoyed when they heard this, and said with a smile, "Thank you, Princess Princess!"

They also all know that the first-class maidservant of a wealthy family in central Beijing is only worth a tael of silver, but they serve 15 taels of silver when they serve the princess, which is more than the monthly silver of the master of an ordinary wealthy family!
Yuzhi smiled slightly and said: "The moon silver I give is higher than others, but you also know that if you dare to do something ungrateful and betray the Lord here, I will not forgive you lightly. How will Master Li's Yu Yiwei judge?" Case, you can inquire about it!"

When the maids heard this, their complexions became serious.

They have been in the Prince's Mansion for a long time, and they all know that Li Rui looks handsome and gentle, seems to have a good temper, but in fact is cruel and hides a knife in his smile, and is loyal to His Royal Highness and the Crown Princess. It is a sharp gold-encrusted dagger in the hands of His Royal Highness .

Cherry has nothing to worry about, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, the princess, the servants are all yours, how can you be careless!"

Mint, nepeta, dill and rosemary were originally sent by Li Rui, so they are naturally loyal. They looked at each other and knelt together: "Princess, please rest assured!"

Yiyun stood there thinking for a moment, and then slowly said: "Crown Princess, slaves and maidservants will be loyal to their masters and have no second thoughts."

She has always been proud and arrogant. She originally thought that with her young beauty, she might be able to be spotted by Lin Jia and fly to the branch to become the second Bai Yuzhi, but now she has been listening to Songyuan for a long time, and she finds that Lin Jia is a Weird person, he treats the woman other than Bai Yuzhi as a decoration at all, and doesn't even give her a second look, she has no chance at all!
Yiyun acts resolutely, since there is no chance, then reposition herself!
She is only 17 years old this year, and she still has a chance. As long as she can serve the princess by her side, there will always be a good chance and a good candidate will appear.

Yuzhi smiled warmly: "Yiyun, remember what you said!"

She will naturally treat those who are loyal to her well; but if those around her dare to betray, her methods will be more vicious.

After seeing the newly promoted first-class maidservants, Yuzhi saw the twelve second-class maidservants who were newly brought up from the third-class maidservants, each of whom was rewarded with a red gold flower hairpin, and then she gave up a few words of encouragement. .

These twelve second-class maids are all named after flowers, so the red gold flower hairpins awarded to them all match their names. For example, Feng Xian got a red gold Phoenix Fairy hair hairpin, and Bai Ju got a red gold chrysanthemum-shaped hairpin. And Yulian got a red gold lotus hairpin.

After dealing with these trivial matters, Yu Zhi ordered the nanny to bring Lin Meng to take care of Xiao Lin Meng wholeheartedly.

She and Lin Jia's three children, Lin Yin looks like Lin Jia, Naya looks like her, Lin Meng looks like both Lin Jia and her, Yuzhi finds it amazing.

Lin Meng is only a month old now, but her hair is black, her eyelashes are thick and long, she is white and fat, her arms and legs are like snow-white lotus root joints, she is very cute.

Yuzhi played with Lin Meng for a while, and seeing that Lin Meng was hungry, she fed him again.

Compared with the time when Lin Yin and Naya were born, this time when Lin Meng Yuzhi was born, the milk was a bit less, but it was enough for Lin Meng to drink two or three times a day, and Lin Meng was drinking the wet nurse's milk most of the time.

Lin Meng was very obedient, she seldom cried, and fell asleep in Yuzhi's arms when she was full.

Yu Zhi was hugging Lin Meng and stroking Lin Meng's fat arms and legs, when Yu Lian came in to report: "To the Crown Princess, Mr. Li brought Princess Tinglan and Miss Wan'er here!"

Hearing this, Yuzhi couldn't help laughing: "It's hot outside, please invite them in!"

Li Helan quickly brought Ting Lan and Wan'er in.

She is still unmarried, and she is a very beautiful woman, with a bookish look in her beauty. It is clear from her face that the passing years can be seen, but it does not detract from her beauty.

After saluting, Li Helan was led by Cherry to sit down on the huanghuali wood armchair placed against the west wall.

She gracefully looked at Ting Lan and Wan'er who stood there after the ceremony: "Princess, Wan'er, why don't you get close to the Crown Princess? If you don't get close to the Crown Princess, how can the Crown Princess get close to you?"

These words were a bit embarrassing, Yuzhi glanced at Li Helan indifferently, didn't bother to pay attention, but told Nanny Zhang who was standing by: "Take Second Young Master back to sleep!"

Nanny Zhang answered "yes", and with the help of Chun Yu, she carried Li Meng to the east side room.

After Lin Meng left, Yu Zhi helped Han Lin up and said with a smile, "I'm going to change clothes, Mr. Li, wait a minute!"

Li Helan stood up with a smile, answered "yes", and sent Yuzhi away respectfully.

After a quarter of an hour, Yu Zhi, who had redressed and changed her clothes, came out surrounded by maids.

She wanted to test Li Helan, so she chatted with Li Helan, and soon found that Li Helan was talented, but she was very stubborn and self-righteous—Li Helan actually thought that she was too partial to Lin Yin and Lin Meng, and not good enough for Ting Lan and Wan'er .

Yuzhi heard it, and didn't bother to argue with Li Helan, she made up her mind to hire a female gentleman who is open-minded and comprehensive for Ting Lan and Wan'er.

Li Helan didn't know Yuzhi's plan, so she smiled and said, "Crown Princess, is your son six years old?"

Yuzhi gave a "hmm" and smiled lightly: "In a few days, Ah Yin will be six years old."

Li Helan looked at Wan'er and Ting Lan with kindness in his eyes: "Wan'er is eight years old this year, and Ting Lan is five years old this year!"

When Ting Lan and Wan'er heard the words, they both looked at Yu Zhi timidly, and lowered their heads.

Yuzhi smiled and picked up the crystal cup containing the fruit tea, and took a sip.

Li Helan looked at Yuzhi, and said meaningfully: "Crown Princess, is your son still living in Tingsong Courtyard with you?"

Yuzhi put down the crystal cup, stared at Li Helan with a half-smile, and said softly and crisply, "It's off-you-fart-thing!"

Li Helan was used to the gentleness, respectfulness and frugality of the family members of high-ranking officials and dignitaries. It was the first time that she was humiliated in such a face-to-face. Immediately, her face flushed red, her hands tightly clutched the handle of the armchair, and tears rolled in her beautiful eyes.

Yuzhi looked at her with a half-smile, and when she saw Li Helan began to tremble all over, she ordered in a deep voice, "Han Lin, see you off."

Han Lin answered "yes" and waved his hand, Yiyun walked up to Li Helan with a smile: "Mr. Li, please!"

Li Helan didn't expect this little fairy-like princess to be so vulgar, she turned her face when she said that she turned her face, she stood up and raised her chin to look at Yu Zhi, with tears in her eyes, then bowed her knees with a face of humiliation, straightened her back and bowed her knees. Followed Yiyun and Cherry out.

Seeing her going out, Yuzhi sneered, and ordered: "Han Lin, you should put more effort into these few days, and then invite Ting Lan and Wan'er to come over with a lady who is tolerant and knowledgeable, and the two gentlemen will teach Ting Lan and Wan'er together. Lan and Wan'er!"

Han Lin replied "Yes", and said with a smile: "Prince Princess, don't worry, I will never find such a paranoid person over again!"

Yu Zhi looked at Ting Lan and Wan'er who were standing with their heads down, and said with a smile, "Come here, all of you!"

Ting Lanhao Wan'er walked over timidly, and sat down on the brocade pier that Dill and Rosemary had moved over.

Yuzhi looked at Ting Lan and Wan'er tenderly with her eyes.

Ting Lan was very similar to Naya when she was a child, but now she looks less and less like her, but she is still a little beauty with big eyes, small mouth and pointed chin.

Wan'er was born more and more like Wang Qingyu, with sword eyebrows and star eyes, beautiful and heroic.

Because Yu Zhi ruled the family very strictly, none of the maids and mothers-in-law dared to speak nonsense. Li Helan didn't know that Ting Lan and Wan'er were not Yu Zhi and Lin Jia's biological children, but their adopted children.

Yuzhi looked at the two cute little girls and smiled.

Although in her heart, Lin Yin, Naya and Lin Meng are the ones she loves the most and the closest, but since she has adopted Ting Lan and Wan'er, she will fulfill her mother's responsibility, love them as much as possible, take care of them, and treat them well life, so that they live a safe and happy life.

Thinking of this, Yu Zhi restrained her smile, looked at Ting Lan and Wan'er: "Why do I hate Mr. Li in person today, do you know?"

Ting Lan looked down at the embroidered shoes exposed under her embroidered skirt, and said nothing.

Wan'er thought for a while, then looked at Yuzhi with bright eyes: "Mother, because Mr. Li doesn't understand the situation, he is self-righteous, thinking that she is all right!"

Yuzhi laughed and reached out to touch Wan'er's head.

Wan'er was encouraged, her eyes brightened, and she said again: "Mother, what's more, you have a noble status, and she dares to speak rudely in front of you. It is already very kind of you to repay kindness with grievances!"

Yuzhi didn't expect Wan'er to be so precocious and smart now, she nodded with a smile and said, "Wan'er is very smart!"

Wan'er is smarter than her mother, which makes Yuzhi quite relieved.

Yuzhi looked at Ting Lan who was still holding her handkerchief with her head down: "Ting Lan, do you understand? Mother wants you and Wan'er to do this. Don't express your opinions on things you don't understand. Have your own opinion, but you can't be stubborn, can you do it?"

Wan'er just received the praise, she was in a very happy mood, and she answered "Yes" with a bright smile.

Ting Lan raised her head and took a quick glance at Yuzhi, and timidly replied "Yes", her voice trembling slightly.

Seeing Tinglan like this, Yuzhi remembered it in her heart and prepared to correct it slowly.

In a blink of an eye, it is the day of Qixi Festival.

Due to the empress dowager's poor health, the annual Jinmingchi Qixi Festival was not held in the capital. Even so, Yuzhi was still a little worried that night. She lay down for a long time, but she didn't feel sleepy at all.

Seeing Lin Jiaping lying down and falling asleep, Yu Zhi sat up and was about to step over Lin Jia and get out of bed, but just as she was about to roll over Lin Jia, Lin Jia hugged her waist tightly.

As soon as Lin Jia exerted some force, Yu Zhi immediately pressed down on Lin Jia.

He hugged Yuzhi tightly and said in a low voice: "Don't worry, just wait."

Yuzhi smiled and said "um", rolled over from Lin Jia, lay on her side, stretched out her hand to caress Lin Jia, but was thinking about something in her heart.

After all, Lin Jia was young, so she reacted to Yu Zhi's touch in a short while. He took a breath, and suddenly pressed on Yu Zhi's body.

Yuzhi: "."

Lin Jia and Yuzhi hadn't been together for three months, this time it was a bit intense, Yuzhi was numb all over from Lin Jia, her fingertips were trembling, she closed her eyes and entered the dreamland.

I don't know how long it took, Yuzhi was sleeping in a daze, but she was awakened by the voices outside. She sat up and heard Li Hanxing speaking in the direction of Mingjian: "... just came the news from Zhongmou County, A big explosion occurred in Lezhang Lane in the south of Zhongmu City, killing and injuring many local people. It has been confirmed that there are 78 people. Guizhen believers who were lurking in Zhongmu County last night were originally going to plant explosives in the military camp in the city, but they were discovered by guards and chased them. The Movement Lane ignited the explosives on his body."

Yuzhi was startled and sat up all of a sudden.

Lin Jia's voice was like calm water from an ancient well: "Where are Weishi, Xiangfu and Qi County?"

Weishi, Xiangfu, Qi County and Zhongmu, which has already had an accident, are all counties in Gyeonggi.

Li Rui's voice came: "His Royal Highness, because of the early preparations, the Guizhen believers in Weishi, Xiangfu and Qi County were discovered from the very beginning, and no major losses were caused."

Yuzhi put on her clothes and went out: "What about the rest of the counties?"

Li Rui subconsciously looked at Yu Zhi, and found that Yu Zhi was neatly dressed, but she hadn't combed her hair in a bun, and her hair was slightly curly and long hanging down. Because she hadn't put on makeup, her skin was fair and tender, slightly red, her eyes were clear, and her lips Light pink and slightly swollen, she still looks like a girl.

His heart moved, he didn't dare to look any more, and lowered his eyes quietly.

Seeing Yuzhi coming out, Lin Jia beckoned her to come over to her side.

Yu Zhi sat down on the Arhat bed next to Lin Jia, and through the plain gauze curtain hanging on the open door, she found that although there were lanterns hanging outside, the sky was already bright, and the gray-blue morning mist filled the courtyard. It's almost Yin time.

Li Ruigong said sincerely: "Report to the Crown Princess, news from other states and counties will come one after another!"

Yuzhi looked at Lin Jia with deep eyes: "Ajia, your plan"

Lin Jia looked at Li Rui and ordered, "Li Rui, pass on my order and it will be implemented!"

He remembers clearly that when he was a teenager, he was studying in the study outside and read such a dialogue.

In the Spring and Autumn Period, Gongyang once asked: "Is it still possible to take revenge in the ninth world?"

Confucius replied: "Although it can last for a hundred generations!"

The Han people never take the initiative to invade other countries, but if someone takes the initiative to invade the Han people, the Han people will always remember it in their hearts, and sooner or later they will return an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.

Since Guizhen Sect dared to touch the common people of Dazhou, then wait for his revenge!
Li Rui answered "Yes" with determination in his voice, and then retreated together with Li Hanxing.

Yu Zhi stretched out her hand to hold Lin Jia's hand, giving Lin Jia silent support.

No matter what Lin Jia does, she always stands by Lin Jia's side.
