Chapter 225: Retribution
Lin Jia said thoughtfully: "He wants to recognize Chang'an as a righteous daughter."
Yu Yu was extremely intelligent, his mind turned a thousand times, and finally said: "Does he feel that he is infertile and wants to succeed Chang'an?"
In fact, she had long suspected that Han Qing was so romantic, but he was in his twenties, and he had been romantic for almost ten years, and there was no man and half woman, I was afraid that there was something unspeakable.
Lin Jia's expression was solemn: "He said that he had infertility and wanted to succeed Chang'an, but I refused!"
Yu Yu smiled: "He's a madman, and when the child is in his hands, maybe he will become crazy!"
Lin Jia fell on Yu Yu and said in a low voice: "I promised him that he could let him enter the mansion to see Chang'an, and he promised that during this period, Western Xia would not take the initiative to start a war."
Yu Yu thought for a moment and said, "He has always been unable to speculate with common sense, so let's be wary of him!"
Lin Jia agreed, and said in a low voice, "I'll sleep for a while."
So saying, he took off his coat, and indeed went to bed, and fell asleep in the bed.
Yu Yu hurriedly asked him about choosing a concubine, and hurriedly said: "Ah Jia, didn't you say that you want to choose a concubine, what are your plans?"
Lin Jia hadn't slept all night, she was so tired that she had already fallen asleep close to her.
Looking at Lin Jia's peaceful sleeping face, Yu Yu was reluctant to wake him up, so she had to look at Lin Jia stupidly for a while, and fell asleep unconsciously.
At this time, Emperor Yongtai was a little uncomfortable and was pacing back and forth in the imperial study.
The sound of rain outside made him even more irritable.
Yang Wen stood on the side, his eyes moving back and forth with Emperor Yongtai's sockets.
After a while, Emperor Yongtai stopped in front of the carved long window, looked at the ** green bamboo outside, and sighed.
Yang Wen finally spoke, and he said tentatively: "Your Majesty misses ...... And the Prince? ”
Emperor Yongtai sighed again: "Ajia hasn't been to the court for a few days......"
He knew that Ajia hated himself, but Emperor Yongtai was also very aggrieved, and felt that he was right, the interests of the Great Zhou Dynasty were of course higher than Lin Jia's personal interests, besides, the white concubine was not Lin Jia's wife, so what was noble?
Yang Wen knew that Emperor Yongtai was a reasonable character, whether he was justified or not, Emperor Yongtai was righteous and reasonable, and he would never admit his mistake to Prince He, so he swallowed his saliva and swallowed the words he wanted to persuade by the way.
Anyway, there is only one person in the world who can govern Your Majesty, and only this person can govern Your Majesty, why should he talk too much?
Emperor Yongtai thought of the little emperor Sun Lin Yin again, and his heart was even more sad - he hadn't seen Lin Yin for several days, Ah Jia wouldn't let me see Ah Yin in the future, right?
The more he thought about it, the more sad he became, and after a long sigh, he finally came up with an idea: Isn't it time to choose a concubine for Ajia? Then continue to choose, if you don't believe Ajia won't come to see me!
The matter of Concubine Bai making a big fuss in the Jade Hall was somehow spread.
After confirming that the news was true, Jiang Hao began to worry that Lin Jia would not choose a concubine.
The rain stopped on this day, Jiang Zhi and Jiang Fang came to play with Jiang Zhen, the three sisters were sitting in the evening pavilion to play poetry, and a mother-in-law in Mrs. Tai's yard came over, and said happily after a salute: "Three girls, the old lady just received the news that the selection of concubines continues!"
Hearing the news that the selection of concubines continued, Jiang Zhen's heart fell to the ground.
She smiled and instructed the maid to reward the mother-in-law who reported the news: "Take some broken silver and give her to buy wine to drink!"
The mother-in-law who reported the news smiled and took the broken silver, and said a few words of congratulations before retreating.
Jiang Zhi and Jiang Fang had their own thoughts, and they were silent for a while.
Jiang Zhen was full of ambition, just smiling and admiring the flowers, and the scene was cold for a while.
Jiang Fang pondered for a moment and said, "Why don't we go to the old lady and have a look......
When the three sisters arrived at Mrs. Tai's place, they found that the old lady was seeing a handsome young man, who was Li Rui, the housekeeper of the prince's mansion, so they all stood quietly and listened.
Old Madam Jiang said with a smile: "I heard that Concubine Bai has given birth to the county lord of Chang'an, I don't know how the county lord of Chang'an was born?"
Li Rui said respectfully: "Old lady Qiyu, the county lord of Chang'an was born quite like a white concubine."
Old Madam Jiang smiled gracefully: "The county lord of Chang'an is really blessed, the county lord of 30,000 households in the food estate, our Great Zhou Dynasty is still the only one!"
Li Rui smiled slightly: "It's all Your Majesty's grace."
Jiang Zhen listened to it on the side, and her heart was sour: It's just a little girl, who knows if she can survive the full moon, so she gave such a heavy reward, and she is not afraid of breaking her villain's life......
She just thought about it in her heart, but Jiang Zhi chuckled lightly and said, "A county lord born to a side concubine has sealed 30,000 households; In the future, if the princess enters the door and regenerates the county lord, how many households will she give? 300,000 households? Besides, a little baby who is only a few days old, who knows if it can-"
Old Madam Jiang coughed and glanced at Jiang Zhi.
Jiang Zhi saw that her grandmother's eyes were sharp, and she didn't dare to say any more.
Li Rui raised his eyes and glanced at Jiang Zhi, his eyes were as sharp and cold as quenched ice, but when Jiang Zhi looked again, he saw that Li Rui had lowered his eyes, and he was still obedient.
Jiang Fang felt that what her cousin said offended people, so she lowered her head and wiped the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief.
The old lady smiled kindly: "Li Rui, you go back first, tell you the prince, I know, since the white concubine is not a guest, then wait for the little princess to be full moon, and then we will go to congratulate!"
Li Rui replied "yes", bowed respectfully, and then slowly retreated.
When he arrived at the door, he glanced at Jiang Zhi again, his eyes were extremely cold, but when he looked at it again, he looked deferential.
Jiang Zhi shivered inexplicably.
After Li Rui left, Old Madam Jiang sighed and said, "Zhi'er, do you know it's wrong?"
Jiang Zhi leaned on Mrs. Jiang and said coquettishly: "Grandmother, is what Zhi'er said the truth!" Besides, that Li Rui is just a minion, what is there to worry about? ”
Jiang Zhen looked at Jiang Zhi like a fool.
Old Madam Jiang saw that Jiang Zhi was ignorant and too lazy to teach her personally, so she instructed Jiang Zhen: "Zhen'er, you come to tell your second sister, who Li Rui is!"
Jiang Zhen replied "yes", first picked up the teacup and took a sip, moistened her throat, and then said slowly: "Li Rui is the nephew of Gonggong Ding, although he is the housekeeper of the prince's mansion, he controls His Majesty's feather guard, and is a figure that the ministers of the court and the central government are quite afraid of, the second sister must not go out during this time, let's hide at home for a while!"
Jiang Zhi sneered and said, "It's just a eunuch, he is the butler of the prince, and I am still the cousin of the prince!" Besides, I didn't say anything bad about him Li Rui, and he couldn't be angry with me! ”
Old Madam Jiang simply didn't want to see this granddaughter, so she waved her hand and said, "You all stand down, I'm tired!"
Jiang Zhen waited for this to retreat.
Li Rui returned to Prince He's mansion, and happened to meet Bai Yuming going to listen to the Song Courtyard to see Yu Yu, so he took the opportunity to accompany Bai Yuming over.
Today's sunny day after the rain is shining, and the sun is shining, which makes people feel warm.
Bai Yuming and Li Rui walked side by side, seeing that they were almost in Tingsong Courtyard, Bai Yuming suddenly said: "My official position is still too low."
Li Rui glanced at Bai Yuming and understood that Bai Yuming was saying that his official position was low, but he couldn't protect his sister when it came to the end.
He casually plucked a Lingxiao flower from the vine on one side, and said in a low voice: "If you have talents in the same year, just introduce them to the prince."
Bai Yuming nodded and said no more.
As soon as Li Rui and Bai Yuming entered the Tingsong Courtyard, they saw the shade of the forest swept over like a gust of wind, Li Hanxing brought two little girls to chase behind, and the nurse also followed, and they couldn't help but laugh - the prince is so lively and active!
Lin Yin was intercepted by someone, and when he looked up, he saw that it was Li Rui and Bai Yuming, and immediately screamed twice.
Li Rui saw that Lin Yin's face was flushed and his cheeks were sweaty, so he squatted down on his knees, took a clean handkerchief and wiped it on Lin Yin's face and neck, and then hugged Lin Yin: "Let's go, go see Concubine Fang!"
Lin Yin was in Li Rui's arms, but his eyes looked at Bai Yuming curiously—he also found that his uncle and mother were very similar—and then pointed at Bai Yuming, trying his best to mobilize his tongue: "Like ...... Mother! ”
Bai Yuming couldn't help laughing: "Why is this kid so loud?" The voice is so coarse? ”
Li Rui was cautious, holding Lin Yin with one hand and putting the other on Lin Yin's back, but found that the big red Luo shirt on his body was soaked with sweat, so he instructed the nurse: "Gu Nanniang, wait a while to give Xiao Shizi a bath and feed some water!"
Gu Nanniang agreed with a smile.
When they arrived at the main room of Tingsong Courtyard, Li Rui and Bai Yuming had not yet entered, but they heard Yu Yu's voice from the room outside: "...... Do you dare to choose a concubine? Give me a try! ”
Then Lin Jia's voice with a smile: "I just chose, what can you do with me?"
only heard Yu Yu's coquettish voice, and then Lin Jia's breathless laughter came from inside, obviously being scratched by Yu Yu.
Li Rui and Bai Yuming looked at each other and smiled, then turned around and left together.
After returning to his courtyard, Li Rui called Lingque again and gave instructions.
Lingque is of medium stature, with a pair of good-looking peach blossom eyes, and is quite handsome.
After listening to Li Rui's words, he smiled and nodded, and went to do his own errands.
