Chapter 286: Sudden Change

Last night, Emperor Yongtai rested in the Funing Palace.

Empress Jiang personally waited for Emperor Yongtai to get up.

Seeing that Jiang Zhen was still waiting for him with a big belly, Emperor Yongtai was naturally moved in his heart, reached out and touched Jiang Hao's bulging abdomen, and said softly: "The queen has worked hard!"

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

When Emperor Yongtai heard this, a contemplative look appeared on his face.

Jiang Zhen knew that there was a play, and at the moment she looked respectful, and said: "The concubines understand that from the big country to the small family, it is fortunate that the wives and concubines are harmonious and the children and grandchildren are prosperous!" For example, Prince He, who became the crown prince in the future, naturally wanted to recruit wives and concubines to spread out and give birth to a few more little 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 lived in a concubine room in Yuyu, and he only had a son!

Seeing Emperor Yongtai's frowning, Jiang Zhen smiled and said, "The concubines heard that several foreign princesses also came to our Great Zhou as candidates, if these foreign princesses can give birth to the heirs of the prince, then these heirs will be smarter and stronger, this is all conclusive in the history books!"

She covered her mouth and smiled: "Your Majesty, the concubine is talking about playing, Your Majesty, don't take it seriously!"

Emperor Yongtai's face showed a thoughtful look, and he said "um" absent-mindedly.

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

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

Today's weather was surprisingly good, with cloudless blue skies and bright sunshine, bringing some warmth to this cold winter day.

After Yu Yu got up, he took Ah Yin and Naya for a walk in the courtyard of Tingsong Temple.

She walked slowly with the help of Hanlin, Ye Bi, Ye Ling and Jin'er watched Ah Yin and Naya running and playing in front of them.

Walking to Tingyuxuan in the bamboo forest, Yuyu sat down on the brocade couch in Tingyuxuan, and instructed Hanlin: "Let the little maid call Jin'er over!"

Jin'er came over quickly.

She had just been playing a game of eagle and chicken with Ah Yin and Naya, and a thin layer of sweat floated on her smooth skin: "I've seen Concubine Fang!"

Yu Yu glanced at Jin'er with a smile, and said, "Jin'er, I plan to send two cronies, a man and a woman, to follow Naya to Western Xia, and I have already discussed with the prince for the man, and I am ready to let Lingque pass."

Before she finished speaking, she looked at Jin'er's reaction with a smile.

Yu Yu's most trusted four big girls, now Ye Bi and Ye Ling are following to serve Ah Yin, Hanlin will marry Ah Lan next spring, and Jin'er is left.

Jin'er is pretty, lively, decisive and reliable, Yu Yu is interested in Jin'er going to Xixia with Naya, but the twisted melon is not sweet, she is worried that Jin'er is not happy, so she opened her mouth to test.

After listening to Yu Yu's words, Jin'er's face was slightly red, her eyes were watery, and she didn't dare to look at Yu Yu.

Seeing Jin'er like this, Yu Yu knew that Jin'er was happy in her heart, and couldn't help but smile, but after thinking about it, she hurriedly said: "I can't guarantee that you and Lingque will be very safe, when you get there, everything needs to rely on yourself!"

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

As long as she can be with Lingque, she is not afraid of no matter how hard she is.

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

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

At this moment, the voice of the little maid came from outside: "Concubine Qiyu, Steward Li is back!"

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

Jin'er and Hanlin hurriedly helped her up.

As soon as Yu Yu walked out of Tingyuxuan, he saw that on the path between the bamboo forests, Li Rui walked over with Lingque.

Li Rui was wearing a cyan cloth robe, with 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 and gentle like jade.

Lingque is of medium stature, about half a head lower than Li Rui, with a pair of good-looking peach blossom eyes with a smile, talking to Li Rui.

Li Rui saw the jade gardenia coming out at a glance, a smile appeared in his clear and quiet eyes, and he couldn't help but speed up his pace, and soon walked to the bottom of the steps of the Listening Rain Pavilion, raised his eyes and looked at the jade gardenia with a smile, and there seemed to be starlight in his eyes.

Yu Yu was surprised and delighted: "Li Rui, you are finally back!"

Li Rui said "um", took a deep breath, and bowed: "I've seen the side concubine!"

Lingque was talking to Li Rui, and before he finished speaking, Li Rui walked away, he said "ah" lightly, chased after him with a smile, and stood beside Li Rui and bowed: "My subordinates have seen the side concubine!"

Jin'er helped Yu Yu Yu and quietly glanced at Lingque, and it happened that Lingque was also looking at her, and the two suddenly looked at each other.

Lingque's smile deepened, and her eyes were full of smiles, but Jin'er lowered her head shyly.

Yu Yu and Li Rui were talking, their eyes were busy seeing the situation of Lingque and Jin'er, and they couldn't help but smile and said, "Lingque, you accompany Jin'er to meet Mr. Liu and Jin'er's mother, and discuss the matter of Jin'er and you accompanying Naya to Xixia!"

Lingque replied "yes", gave Jin'er a look, and when Jin'er came over, they saluted Yuyu together, and then left together.

Li Rui looked at Yu Yu's gaze, smiled when he saw this, and said in a low voice: "Concubine Fang, do you want to match them?"

Yu Yu let out a "hmm" and smiled brightly: "I like to see that lovers are married, and good people have good rewards!"

Li Rui chewed on Yu Yu's words, and only felt that it was plain at first hearing, but when he savored it, he carried endless sadness - how many lovers in this world can form a family? How many good people have been rewarded?

He thought of himself again, and the sadness seized his heart, making him feel a little chilly.

Yu Yu looked at the bamboo forest in front of him swaying in the cold wind, and said softly: "I also hope that the people I value can stay by my side, always get together, and not separate."

Hearing Yu Yu's words, Li Rui's eyes lit up suddenly, and his heart, which was shrinking because of the cold, gradually warmed up - as long as he can follow the prince, accompany Yu Yu, and protect and take care of the prince and the county lord, he is also happy!

Yu Yu glanced at Li Rui and said with a smile: "At this time, Ajia is afraid that she will follow His Majesty to the Fengxian Hall to salute!"

Li Rui thought about the canonization process of the crown prince of the Great Zhou, nodded, and said, "You have to go to the Taimiao Temple to worship!"

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

On the morning of December 16, Emperor Yongtai sent Han Li, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, to worship Heaven and Earth and Taimiao, and Emperor Yongtai himself went to the Fengxian Hall in the palace to pay respects.

Next, the crown prince's ceremonial display was set up outside the Daqing Palace, and the ceremony of canonizing the crown prince was held in the Daqing Palace.

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, full of verdant pines and cypresses, silent and solemn, filled with the smell of sandalwood.

Emperor Yongtai, who has always been amiable, also looked solemn today, and bowed like a ceremony under the guidance of the master of ceremonies.

Coming out of the Taimiao, Emperor Yongtai took Lin Jia back to the Daqing Hall - the ministers were waiting in the Daqing Palace!

Walking to the front of the Daqing Palace, all the ministers knelt down to greet him: "Long live my emperor!" His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Chitose Chitose! ”

Emperor Yongtai was in a good mood, looked at Lin Jia with a smile, and saw that Lin Jia's collar was a little wrong, so he reached out to help Lin Jia tidy up.

As a father, he was happy when he saw Lin Jia, and he was even more patient and considerate of Lin Jia.

As a man who has been amorous all his life, he always has some regrets when he thinks that his dear Ajia was blinded by Bai Yuyu, a little woman, and only knows how to live with Bai Yuyu, and does not know the benefits of other women.

After tidying up his collar, Emperor Yongtai smiled and said: "Ajia, since you have to live in the original mansion, then take care of the mansion, otherwise you won't be able to live in the future!"

Lin Jia was stunned for a moment - he and Yu Yu are a family of four, why is the huge Prince He's Mansion not enough to live?

Before Lin Jia could ask, Emperor Yongtai looked at the ministers and said with a smile: "Zhongqing is flat!"

Next, it is necessary to promulgate the decree of the crown prince's dependents in the Daqing Palace.

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

After the banquet, he was able to go back to reunite with Yuyu.

Lin Jia had already arranged that he only had one woman, Yu Yudi, and he would canonize Yu Yu as the crown prince Liangdi first, and then find an opportunity to make Yu Yu the crown princess and his real wife.

Emperor Yongtai glanced at Lin Jia and couldn't help but feel a little weak.

At this time, Han Li, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, picked up the holy decree from the gold plate held by the eunuch and unfolded it, preparing to read it according to the script.

But after taking a look, Han Li's expression changed, he frowned and glanced at Lin Jia, and then slowly recited.

When Lin Jia heard that Yu Yu was canonized as the crown prince Liangdi, she lowered her eyes and was very satisfied.

Hearing the next will, Lin Jia's face turned pale, and his phoenix eyes were full of anger as he looked at Emperor Yongtai - Princess Tulanya of Western Xia, Princess Pingcheng of Liao, and Lord of Lotus of Goryeo were all canonized as Prince Liangyuan!

Emperor Yongtai was a little drumming in his heart when he saw Lin Jia like this, but he knew that this was part of the crown prince's canonization ceremony, Lin Jia was a perfectionist, and he would definitely choose to endure it!

Lin Jia took a deep breath and suppressed his anger: It seems that I still want to become the emperor earlier!
