The rain outside the window hit the window lattice, and the crackling sound disturbed people's thoughts a little scattered. Lin Zhuohua didn't have the heart to continue reading medical books, and this year's spring seemed to rain a little frequently.

She asked Jade to prepare pen and paper, wrote a letter to Han Dong, and asked him to expedite it to the border gate. Counting the days, they had already arrived at the border gate.

I hope that the arrival of this emperor's eldest grandson will not disrupt Li Zeyi's plan.

Onyx came in from the outside, still damp, and the broken hair on his forehead was wet with the rain.

"Miss, the palace has sent a reward."

Lin Zhuohua was slightly stunned, and then immediately thought that he should have saved Concubine Mu and the emperor's eldest grandson, and the emperor must be very happy, so he gave the reward. She narrowed her eyes, pondered for a moment, and then immediately asked the two of them to help her with her makeup.

Packed up and went to the front with an umbrella. The person who came to give the reward this time was not Gonggong Chen next to the emperor, who looked like a little eunuch with a round face.

"The slave greets the lord of Ronghua, this is the reward that the emperor asked the slave to send you."

As soon as he finished speaking, he read all the rewards. There are a lot of things, all of which are some of the daughter's favorite jewelry and brightly colored cloths.

Lin Zhuohua was not hypocritical, let people accept the reward, and then said softly: "I'm tired of my father-in-law, thank the emperor for my reward." ”

Jade immediately stuffed a purse into the little eunuch's hand, and then stepped aside.

The little father-in-law took the purse with a pleasing smile on his face: "Then the slave will go back first." ”

On this rainy day, the master asked himself to send a reward, but he was not happy. But I checked the purse in my hand, and there must be a lot of silver in it. The idea was not happy, and it immediately dissipated.

Lin Zhuohua asked Jade to send the little eunuch out, and then picked out a few pieces of cloth that were not too beautiful in color from the reward, and let the others be put into the warehouse.

Now she has a lot of dresses, which are enough to wear on weekdays.

These pieces of cloth were used to make clothes for his grandmother, mother and two aunts. Nowadays, most of the clothes in her feather coat pavilion are only suitable for young girls, but the lady of the family and the old lady also have a lot of business opportunities.

Now that her power is developing faster and faster, this silver is really burning fast. It's a business with my uncle, and it's all done once a year, and it's still a long time.

Although the manor looks very profitable now, this is a business with the emperor, and most of the silver has gone into the treasury. In fact, there are not many in her hands, so if she wants to speed up the development of her power, she must have more money.

She thought about it, and all the way back to her peach garden, she already had a few ideas in her heart.

The days are like flowing water, and in a blink of an eye, the remaining children of Concubine Mu are already full moon, because the children's bodies are weak, washing three pennies is very simple and no one is invited.

The baby was already better, and the full moon prince decided to do it. Regarding the prince's proposal, the emperor has no opinion.

Lin Zhuohua also received an invitation from the East Palace, and she narrowed her eyes. He threw the invitation on the table and thought about it.

"Go to the small storeroom and take out the set of longevity locks and bracelets."

It's a gift, but there's nothing wrong with it either. Although the child was saved by her, thinking that it was the prince's child, she didn't have so much affection.

"Yes, miss."

Jade answered, and then left with the key to the small storeroom.

It's summer, and the temperature is gradually rising. Lin Zhuohua was crooked on the low couch, holding an ice bowl in his hand. That trace of heat seems to be able to reduce a little.

She holds her chin in one hand and pokes the ice bowl with a spoon in the other.

When Jade came back from the small warehouse, she saw that her young lady didn't know what she was thinking, and the ice bowl was poked by her and couldn't look at it.

"Miss, do you think that's the case?"

Lin Zhuohua came back to his senses and looked at the box held in Jade's hand containing a set of delicate peace locks and bracelets.

"That's it, you can take it with you when you pretend to be the time to participate in the full moon wine of the emperor's eldest grandson."

After speaking, she called out Han Dong and asked, "You go and ask Suifeng, how is it at the border gate?" ”

Han Dong was ordered to leave, and Jade knew that her young lady was afraid that she had not received a reply from His Royal Highness King Yi, and she was a little worried about the other party.

"Miss, this ice bowl has melted, and the slave will change it for you."

Lin Zhuohua glanced at the unrecognizable ice bowl, coughed lightly and waved his hand: "Remove it, don't go on it anymore, I'm a little tired, rest for a while." ”

With that, she got up and walked towards the inner room.

It was too hot in the house, so Lin Zhuohua flashed and entered the medicine house. The medicine house is like spring all year round, but it is much cooler than outside.

In a blink of an eye, the full moon wine of the emperor's eldest grandson arrived, and the East Palace was very lively today. The palace people are busy in an orderly manner, because there is no hostess, Concubine Mu is now the highest in the backyard of the East Palace, and she can only come to entertain female guests.

Mu Wanyu packed up early in the morning and wore the palace dress of the side concubine. Looking at her still charming self in the mirror, the corners of her mouth hooked up a confident arc.

Maybe it's a first-time mother, and there is a little more mature charm in this coquettishness, which is more and more charming.

"The side concubine is getting more and more beautiful now, Your Highness will definitely like you more when she sees it."

Mama Fu inserted a phoenix tail hairpin into her bun for her, adjusted it again and straightened up.

The corners of Mu Wanyu's mouth raised slightly, got up from the dresser, and asked, "Is Xuan'er cleaned up?" ”

"The nurse will send the milk when she eats it." Mama Fu tidied up the skirt for her, made sure that her makeup and clothes were fine, and took the dim sum handed over by the maid: "I'm afraid I'm going to be tired today, so I'll eat some snacks to cushion my stomach first." ”

Fortunately, Mu Wanyu hadn't applied lipstick yet, so she pinched a piece of dim sum and put it in her mouth, chewing it slowly. After she ate a few pieces of snacks and drank a small bowl of milk, the nurse also hugged the little emperor and grandson.

The little baby wears a red belly pocket with two koi fish embroidered with gold thread. The white arms and legs were exposed, like a small piece of dough.

Mu Wanyu had a smile in her eyebrows, and she stretched out her hand: "Give me Xuan'er." ”

The nurse hurriedly sent the little emperor grandson over, although it was carefully raised for a month, but the baby was still thinner than a normal child, but it was much better than when it was born.

Mu Wanyu hugged her soft son, and her heart softened.

"Sink a little."

Because the summer is hot, but the child is so small, Mu Wanyu ordered: "Go and get a thin quilt, let's wrap some." ”

The rich mother immediately asked the nurse to bring the swaddling clothes made of silk, which is light and breathable, and it will not heat the little emperor and grandson even if it is wrapped in summer.

After this side was cleaned up, Mu Wanyu left her courtyard with the little emperor and grandson and walked towards Mei Tingxuan.

Mei Tingxuan is a place to entertain female guests, and there are already many ladies and ladies of the family at this time. Some acquaintances sat together and chatted, mostly around today's protagonist, the eldest grandson of Dajing.

"If this eldest grandson is from the belly of the crown princess, this identity is even more noble."

"It's not, it's a pity that the future crown princess hasn't reached yet. So that Concubine Mu took the lead, and when the crown princess married into the East Palace, I don't know what the situation is. ”

After all, it is in the territory of the East Palace, even if they talk about it, they only dare to whisper, which is not good if the prince hears it.

Lin Zhuohua followed his mother over, and just happened to see Mrs. Feng, so he sat down.

Mrs. Feng didn't bring Feng Shuhui over this time, and when she saw that Lin Zhuohua seemed to be looking for her daughter, she smiled and said, "She didn't come today, saying that she made an appointment to ride a horse." She had always been impatient with that, so I followed her. ”

Lin Zhuohua was slightly surprised, in the past, if Feng Shuhui wanted to ride a horse, she would definitely make an appointment with herself. It's strange today, I didn't ask her, I just don't know who she made an appointment.

"I knew she wasn't coming, and I wouldn't be either."

Mrs. Lin squeezed her hand when she heard this, and said, "I know that you are bored, but in the end, Concubine Mu's baby was saved by you, so it's good to come and see the child." ”

Lin Zhuohua nodded: "I know the mother." "Starting point Chinese

While the few people were talking, they heard the sharp voice of a eunuch.

"Concubine Mu has arrived, and the little emperor's grandson has arrived."

The crowd stopped talking and looked like they were from the entrance.

A charming beauty dressed in a complicated palace costume and painted with exquisite makeup walked slowly. She was holding a baby in red swaddling clothes in her arms, with a dignified and decent smile on her face, followed by a group of palace people, very dignified.

The people stood up and saluted, and then sat down.

Concubine Mu sat on the top, with a decent smile on her face, and handed the child in her arms to the nurse on the side. chatting with the ladies with a smile, the atmosphere instantly became lively.

Mu Wanyu is worthy of being a beauty who can firmly grasp the prince's heart, this emotional intelligence is really high, look at her can say a few words to anyone she says, and what she says also makes people feel comfortable.

Lin Zhuohua took a glass of sweet juice and drank it in small sips, his eyes fell on the little baby held by the nurse.

The words of the ladies praising the little emperor and grandson kept ringing in his ears, as if this little emperor and grandson were the fairy boys in the sky.

Mu Wanyu was naturally happy that someone praised her son, so she responded with a smile, and when she raised her head and saw Lin Zhuohua sitting quietly next to Mrs. Lin, a flash of gratitude flashed in her eyes.

However, she didn't go out of her way to be grateful, because she knew that Lin Zhuohua didn't like the people in the East Palace, and would keep her baby just because she had reached some kind of agreement with the prince.

She didn't want to cause any trouble to Lin Zhuohua, so it was good, she kept her gratitude in her heart, and there was always a chance to repay this kindness.

When the auspicious time came, the little emperor and grandson were taken away. By the end of the series of activities of washing the three, the little emperor and grandson had fallen asleep, so he was carried back by the nurse.

Lin Zhuohua gave her gift out, and didn't stay for dinner, so he greeted his mother and left.

As soon as he left Mei Tingxuan, Lin Zhuohua was stopped by a little palace maid.

"This is what Concubine Mu asked the slave to give you."

Lin Zhuohua was slightly stunned, took the purse handed over by the little palace maid, and then watched the other party run away.

The purse was very light, and she pinched it as if it were in her sleeve pocket. I was going to leave the palace directly, but I only walked a few steps and met the palace maid Jinxiu next to the queen's aunt.

"See Lord Ronghua, the queen invites you to come over."

Lin Zhuohua nodded when he heard this, and said with a smile: "Okay, I don't know what is the matter with Aunt Queen's looking for me?" ”

"It's nothing, Niangniang said that you rarely enter the palace, and she must let you go over to sit, Niangniang misses you very much."

The two talked all the way, and soon arrived at the queen's Fengqi Palace.

As soon as he walked into the hall, a cool air came to his face, and immediately blew away the heat that Lin Zhuohua had dyed outside.

"The courtiers ask the queen to say goodbye, and the mother is blessed with gold." She stepped forward and saluted in a proper manner.

The queen was only dressed in a regular dress, and her hair was casually draped. The whole person leaned lazily on the chaise longue, holding a book in his hand, and saw her formal salute, revealing a chuckle.

"Hurry up, there are no outsiders here, what are you doing so much. Come here, sit next to my aunt. ”

Lin Zhuohua raised his head and looked at the bright face of his queen's aunt, slightly shaking. Sure enough, the woman still has to take good care of herself, and her queen's aunt looks like a girl in her twenties, and the years don't seem to have left any traces on her.

She walked over with her steps up and sat down beside her.

"You saved the baby of Concubine Mu of the East Palace, this thing is good."

Lin Zhuohua smiled when he heard this, took the ice bowl handed over by Jinxiu, and ate it in small bites.

"I didn't want to meddle in this, but in the end it was an innocent little life. Later, I found out that Concubine Mu was born prematurely because someone had drugged her. I don't know who the East Palace is, but I can find out who it is. ”

Hearing this, the queen pulled the corners of her mouth and smiled: "There are too many people who don't want Mu Wanyu to give birth to the emperor's eldest grandson, and the East Palace has not yet reached the point where it is like Tietong." Since he got Mu Wanyu to your Guogong Mansion at the beginning, it is better to give birth to this child directly in the Guogong Mansion, and also save the mother and son from suffering. ”

The crown prince was still a little hesitant in this regard, and she dared to guarantee that if this matter was put on King Yi, it would definitely allow Zhuohua to give birth directly in the Guogong Mansion. As long as the child is fine, wherever the child is born, it is the eldest grandson of the emperor.

Now that the emperor's eldest grandson has been born, it is obvious that there are some congenital deficiencies. She asked the imperial doctor of the day secretly, even if the child was intensively raised, it would not be as strong as a normal child.

Lin Zhuohua looked at the queen's disdain and twitched the corners of his mouth. It's good that the prince can let Mu Wanyu raise a baby in the Guogong Mansion, and he will definitely not let his child be born in the Guogong Mansion.

"Let's not talk about this, does my aunt have any news about the border gate?"

Although the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, she knows that her aunt has been operating in the harem for so many years, and there must be a lot of sources.

The queen tossed the book aside and sat up. His eyes fell on Lin Zhuohua's body, with a bit of ridicule.

"Why is Yi'er only going for almost two months, and you miss him?"

Lin Zhuohua's face turned red, and he said in an urn voice: "Aunt will make fun of Zhuohua, but I haven't received a reply from him a month after the last communication, and I'm a little worried about him." ”

The queen stretched out her hand and flicked her head, and said angrily, "Look at your little bit of interest." ”

Although he said disgusting words, he turned his head and told her all the news he had gotten.

"The border war is a little tight now, and the Longrui people have been making frequent moves recently. A few days ago, Commander Feng Xiaoda and Yi'er personally led the troops and wrangled a small stronghold of the other party. Don't worry, we still have the upper hand over there. He didn't reply to you, so he must have been busy. ”

Knowing that Li Zeyi should be safe and sound, Lin Zhuohua was relieved.

"Alas, it's really a big woman. But looking at this war, I'm afraid it will last for more than a year. I don't know if you'll be able to finish next year when you're in time. In a few days, it will be your birthday. ”

Lin Zhuohua was born in the summer, and she will celebrate her birthday in a few days. It's just that on this year's birthday, he can't spend it with her.

She was still a little disappointed, but it couldn't be helped, who let him still be at the border.

"On this year's birthday, the family decided to have a meal as a family, after all, there is still a war at the border. I heard my mother say that a lot of military rations and salaries are needed at the border gates. ”

As soon as there is a war, there will be a shortage of military food and salaries, and her mother's family is a Dajing Emperor businessman. Now they have begun to prepare to donate money to the state treasury to subsidize some military salaries and rations.

"Speaking of this, the emperor seems to have intentionally wanted your eldest brother and your little uncle to transport the grain and military salaries to the border with the great commander Weiyuan."

Because the Jing family took the lead in donating money and food, some big merchants and families in Dajing also donated a lot of money, accumulating a lot, and this batch of military food and military salaries was a lot.

"Big brother and little uncle?"

Lin Zhuohua's brows furrowed tightly, although the eldest brother was left in the barracks for training, he had not really been on the battlefield in the end. If you escort military salaries and rations this time, I don't know if it will work or not, and whether you will encounter any danger.

The queen sighed, she couldn't guess what the emperor was thinking now. Lin Guogong's mansion has always been idle, even if Lin Jinjun went to the military camp, it was just to sharpen his temperament, and he was not prepared to let him take the road of a military general.

But the emperor now obviously wants to promote the big house of the Lin Guogong Mansion, this time the rhyme of military food and military salaries has passed, I am afraid that Lin Jinjun and the great commander Weiyuan will also stay over there to help.

"Don't think too much about it, it's up to your grandfather and your two uncles to think about it, you just need to take care of yourself."

Seeing her frowning, the queen burst out laughing. Reaching out and pinching her fingers, he continued: "You came out of the East Palace so early, I'm afraid you haven't eaten yet, so stay here and eat with your aunt." ”

Saying that, she instructed Jinxiu to go to the small kitchen and order to make something that Lin Zhuohua likes to eat.

When I came out of the palace, it was already past noon. Lin Zhuohua returned to Taoyuan and immediately went to the back to take a bath, and after washing off the sweat on his body, he was a lot refreshed.

She leaned on the low couch, and then took out the purse that Mu Wanyu asked the little palace people to send her. The purse was opened, and inside was a title deed and a note.

The delicate handwriting on the note appeared in her sight, only a simple sentence.

Be careful, please accept it.

Lin Zhuohua glanced at the title deed, which was an empty shop in the most prosperous market. She raised her eyebrows, is this considered a dozing, and someone handed her a pillow?

She just wanted to open another shop, and someone sent her.
