Chapter 238: Another Treacherous Scheme

Seeing that it was almost noon and Mrs. Jiang was about to leave the palace, Concubine Jiang was reluctant to let her grandmother go, so she personally sent Mrs. Jiang away.

At this time, the weather was gloomy, and seeing that it was about to snow, the wind was becoming more and more urgent, and the hem of the jujube red satin ferret cloak on Mrs. Jiang's body was blown up by the wind, making a "bang" sound.

Jiang Guifei sent her grandmother away with a thin sadness in her heart.

She stood there and watched Mrs. Jiang go away surrounded by maids, and then instructed Qingming: "Go and get my cloak, let's go to the Jade Hall to visit Your Majesty!"

Qingming replied "yes", went to get the big red feather gauze snow fox cloak, came to serve Jiang Guifei and put it on, and then everyone surrounded Jiang Guifei and went in the direction of the Yutang Palace.

At this time, there is a delicate red sandalwood carved kang table on the royal couch of the main hall of the jade hall hall, and a copper charcoal stove is placed on the kang table, and the casserole on the charcoal stove is steaming, exuding a rich and delicious meat fragrance.

Sixteen small plates of white jade lotus flowers are neatly placed next to them, containing various meat and vegetable dishes.

Emperor Yongtai sat at the kang table, looking at the boiling pheasant soup pot in front of him, and his heart was a little gloomy: the pot is lively when there are more people to eat, but now Ah Jia is not in the palace, and Ah Yin has not entered the palace for a long time, it is really lonely!

Yang Wen stepped forward and waited: "Your Majesty, the slave will give you shabu mutton slices!"

Emperor Yongtai shook his head: "I will use it myself slowly!"

He sandwiched a thin slice of translucent mutton with a toothbrush, and was about to dip it into the pot, when the little eunuch Li Xiuzhen came in to report: "Your Majesty, the concubine asks to see you!"

Emperor Yongtai was a little lonely, and immediately smiled: "Xuan!"

Jiang Guifei walked in in a curling manner.

Under Qingming's service, he took off the big red feather veiled snow fox cloak on his body, revealing the plain white embroidered red plum brocade robe worn inside, showing his beautiful figure.

She curtsied, raised her eyes and looked at Emperor Yongtai with a smile, and said coquettishly: "Your Majesty, don't you think the concubine has disturbed your Yaxing?"

Emperor Yongtai glanced at her with a smile and said, "Come here!"

Jiang Guifei sat down opposite Emperor Yongtai, washed her hands with fragrant pancreas by the palace maid, and applied a layer of jasmine balsam on her hands, then picked up the toothbrush, sandwiched a thin slice of mutton to cook in the soup, and then dipped it in the sauce and put it on the plate in front of Emperor Yongtai.

Emperor Yongtai tasted it and felt that the taste was really delicious and abnormal, so he said: "I remember that the people of the previous dynasty called the hot pot the Xia offering"

Jiang Guifei saw that Emperor Yongtai was eating well, so she sandwiched a piece of mutton for Emperor Yongtai again, and said with a smile: "There is also the poem 'The waves are clear and the snow is clear, and the wind shines on the sunset', which is about the scene when eating mutton in a pot!"

Emperor Yongtai didn't expect Jiang Guifei to know such a partial poem, so he deliberately chatted with Jiang Guifei, the more he chatted, the more speculative he became, he found that Jiang Guifei was really a talented woman, with a wide range of knowledge, and his heart was quite happy, so he personally soaked a piece of mutton and fed it to Jiang Guifei.

Jiang Guifei's peach blossom eyes were watery, and her red lips contained the tooth cuffs that Emperor Yongtai fed her mutton slices, and then slowly released them, her expression and eyes were extremely ambiguous.

Emperor Yongtai was dumbfounded, and his heart was inexplicably surprised.

He always felt that only Concubine Gui Liang was his confidant in the palace now, but he didn't expect Jiang Guifei to come from behind, not only to be able to talk about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but also to be so charming.

Jiang Guifei picked up the white jade cup, her eyes were charming, and her voice was slightly hoarse: "Your Majesty, the concubine toasts you!"

Emperor Yongtai drank the wine with Jiang Guifei's white and delicate hands, and then took Jiang Guifei's fingers in his mouth.

Jiang Guifei's eyes were like silk, her little face was crimson, and the two slowly approached.

At this moment, Li Xiuzhen's voice came from outside: "Your Majesty, and the prince, Concubine Bai and Xiao Shizi have arrived!"

This sentence suddenly broke Fang Cai's ambiguity, and Emperor Yongtai immediately removed his face, got up and said, "Ajia is back?" Ah Yin is also here? ”

As he spoke, he was to greet him personally.

Jiang Guifei held her sharp chin and slowly withdrew her face, a trace of resentment flashed in her peach blossom eyes, and soon turned into a pleasant smile.

She got up and walked to Emperor Yongtai and stood side by side with Emperor Yongtai.

A moment later, Lin Jia came in with Yu Yu and Lin Yin.

A family of three saluted in unison in the rich smell of pheasant soup pot: "I've seen Your Majesty!"

Emperor Yongtai was overjoyed, and personally stepped forward to help Lin Jia up, then held Lin Yin's little hand, and said with a smile on his face: "Ah Jia, you and Ah Yin haven't entered the palace for forty-three days!"

Before Lin Jia could speak, Lin Yin looked up at Emperor Yongtai and said with a smile: "Imperial grandfather, Ah Yin misses imperial grandfather!"

This is what his mother taught him when he was on the road, and he wanted him to say it as soon as he saw his grandfather.

Emperor Yongtai hugged Ah Yin, and it was like old tears: "Good grandson!" Good grandson! ”

Yu Yu stood aside, smiling, and did not step forward.

Jiang Guifei looked at the ancestors and grandchildren who were being staged in front of her, she was resentful in her heart, but the smile on her face was very kind.

Lin Jia and Yu Yu saluted Jiang Guifei again: "Please concubine Niangniang!"

Jiang Guifei said with a smile: "My own family, don't be polite!"

Her beautiful peach blossom eyes bent up, and there was an innocent smile on her beautiful face: "Concubine Baifang, why didn't you bring the county lord of Chang'an to greet Your Majesty?" Your Majesty has been talking about the county lord of Chang'an for a long time! ”

Yu Yu glanced at Emperor Yongtai who was playing with Ah Yin - she couldn't see that Emperor Yongtai had the slightest idea of Chang'an, Emperor Yongtai claimed that his grandchildren liked it, but he was still a little patriarchal, he loved Lin Yin very much, and although he rewarded the county lord of Chang'an very much, he rarely hugged him.

She said with a smile: "It's too cold today, I'm afraid it's going to snow, Chang'an is still too small, I'm afraid I'll go out and get cold, so I didn't bring it out!"

Jiang Guifei's eyes were like needles, staring at Yu Yu Yu slightly, and she soon laughed: "Actually, children are wrapped tightly, and it's okay to sit in a big sedan chair!"

Her eyes kept staring at Yu Yu, and said with a smile: "In the twenty-third year of the lunar month, the Queen Mother is going to hold a Buddhist lecture in Cining Palace, the Queen Mother likes children, and she must like it when she sees her great-grandchildren, and Concubine Bai must bring the Lord of Chang'an!"

Yu Yu's heart beat faster, lowered her eyes and said softly: "Yes, Niangniang."

Jiang Guifei looked at Emperor Yongtai with watery eyes, and when she saw that Emperor Yongtai was listening to Lin Yin intently, her heart couldn't help but sink, and said, "Your Majesty, the concubine has retired first!"

Lin Yin was talking about Li Rui taking him to fish in the canal, although he could already speak, but his vocabulary was not enough after all, and he had to be supplemented by various body language, so Emperor Yongtai listened very attentively, and his eyes kept looking at Lin Yin, and he didn't hear Jiang Guifei's voice at all, nor did he notice that Jiang Guifei was leaving.

Jiang Guifei took a deep breath, suppressed her anger, curtsied with a smile, and really retreated.

Qingming and other palace maids and female officials quietly hugged Jiang Guifei.

Yu Yu looked at Lin Jia.

Lin Jia's eyes were gentle, and she reached out to hold Yu Yu's hand.

His hands were a little cold, but they were firm and powerful, giving Yu Yu strength.

It wasn't until late at night that Lin Jia and his family left the palace.

At this time, the night was already deep, the wind was early outside, the north wind carried the snowflakes whistling, and the dead branches of the plane trees on both sides of the royal street were blown by the wind and "clicked".

Yu Yu's sedan chair is very tight, the wind and snow outside are biting, but the sedan chair is warm like spring.

Lin Yin had already fallen asleep in Lin Jia's arms.

Yu Yu snuggled up to Lin Jia and said in a low voice: "Ah Jia, what is the purpose of Jiang Zhen's special mention of Chang'an today?" Does she know something? ”

Lin Jia pasted Yuyu's face and said, "Don't worry, she can't make waves!"

Yu Yu Yu let out a "hmm", listened to the "woo" wind outside, and said in a low voice: "Ajia, the orphanage you established in Qingzhou should be promoted throughout the Great Week!"

Lin Jia thought for a moment and said, "I'll leave this matter to the eldest brother!"

Yu Yu: ""

She was stunned for a moment, then she remembered that the eldest brother Lin Jia said was Bai Yuming, and she couldn't say anything in her heart, she glanced at Lin Jia, and said with a smile: "The eldest brother is older than you, so it's appropriate for you to call the eldest brother!"

Lin Jia is twenty-two years old this year, she is really young, but if you think about it, she and Ajia have been together for many years......

After a while, Yu Yu asked Lin Jia again: "Hasn't Gaoli come to pay tribute yet?" Did they really go to pay tribute to Western Xia? ”

Goryeo has always been a vassal state of the Great Zhou, and it has to come to the capital of the Great Zhou to pay tribute every year, but it has not yet arrived this year.

Lin Jia smiled coldly and said, "Now the king of Goryeo is unruly, and he wants to provoke the relationship between the Great Zhou and Western Xia, so that he can reap the benefits of the fisherman!"

Yu Yu's big eyes looked at Lin Jia: "Ah Jia, in this case, why don't you join forces with Xixia and join forces to pit Gaoli once?"

Lin Jia was woken up by Yu Yu, nodded slowly, and said, "This method is not bad."

When this issue was discussed at the court meeting, the ministers either advocated a crusade against Goryeo or advocated the preciousness of peace, but no one thought that they could unite with Western Xia to clean up Goryeo, a small barbarian state!

Yu Yu leaned against Lin Jia, and her voice became lower: "Ah Jia, send a person close to you to negotiate in Western Xia, just in time to quietly talk to Han Qing about Chang'an."

As soon as she thought of her daughter who was stolen by Han Qing, her heart became empty and uncomfortable.

Lin Jia stretched out his arm and hugged Yu Yu, and said softly: "Yu Yu, don't worry"

As soon as the snow stopped, Jiang Guifei ordered Qingming to go to Jiang's mansion to spread the word.

When Qingming met Mrs. Jiang in the main room of the inner courtyard, Mrs. Jiang San was also waiting on the side.

Old Madam Jiang was defenseless for a while, and looked at Qingming with a smile: "How is Niangniang now?"

Qingming said respectfully: "Old lady Qiqi, the concubine is generous and healthy!"

She glanced at the second and third Mrs. Jiang who were standing on the side, and hesitated: "Old lady, the mother has something to say to the slave and maid......"

Old Madam Jiang understood, and immediately ordered: "You all retreat!"

Mrs. Jiang San and Mrs. Jiang went out of the house together.

Snow was melting outside, and it was chilling, like pins and needles scraping on your face.

Third Mrs. Jiang stopped on the steps, glanced at Second Mrs. Jiang with a smile, and then at Mother Han who was standing on the side, and then said to herself: "The concubine doesn't know what to say to the old lady, Qingming is so mysterious, even you and I have to avoid it!"

Mother Han glanced at Mrs. Jiang San and lowered her head.

Second Mrs. Jiang sneered and complained in a low voice: "We are not better than others are longhouses, in the future, the entire Jiang Mansion will be owned by others, these things have nothing to do with us, and people will not let us listen, let's go!"

Mrs. Jiang San followed Mrs. Jiang down the steps, and suddenly felt that her face was a little wet, she looked up, and found that there were snowflakes floating in the sky again, so she took the maid's hand and walked slowly.

In the afternoon, Mrs. Jiang San was reading a book in the house, and her personal maid Qingshu came in to report: "Madam, Mother Han came quietly just now, saying that she listened outside for a while in the morning, Qingming's voice was too quiet, she only heard anything 'midwife' and 'county lord', and nothing else!"

Third Lady Jiang frowned when she heard this, "What does this mean?"

There are a lot of princes in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and there are a lot of princes and county lords, what does this mean?

The snow had almost melted, but today there were tiny snowflakes, and in the evening the whole world became a world of snow.

Yu Yu was sitting with Jiang Fang in the guest room of the East Ear, and when she heard Jin'er say that the snow had stopped outside, she took Jiang Fang to the courtyard to see the plum blossoms.

Lin Yin was playing with the sand table in the main room, but when he heard the movement outside, he immediately rushed out, and called "Niang" in a loud voice, and threw himself into Yu Yu's arms.

Jiang Fang likes children the most, and couldn't help but reach out and touch Lin Yin's soft black hair, and said softly: "Concubine Fang, it's so cold, doesn't the prince have to wear a hat?" He's a little thinly dressed! ”

Although that matter was over, she didn't dare to go back to Jiang's mansion for a while, Mrs. Jiang came to see her a few times, and saw that she was living happily here, so she simply let her stay for a while, and wait for the family affairs to be booked, so as not to make any more moths to Jiang Zhen and Mrs. Jiang.

Yu Yu smiled and took Lin Yin's hot little hand and said, "Ah Yin doesn't need to wear it, he is not afraid of the cold!"

Her son looks white and tender like a little fairy, but in fact, his body is very strong, and he is not afraid of the cold at all.

While the two were talking, Jiang Fang looked up and saw a tall and handsome young man walking over.

Jiang Fang's eyes lit up, she looked at it with affection, and said, "Concubine Side, Lord Bai is here!"

Before Yu Yu could speak, Lin Yin had already broken free of her hand and ran over: "Uncle, accompany me to build a snowman!"

Bai Yuming loves this nephew the most, so he naturally agreed.

He is now busy with official business, and he finally finds time to listen to Songyuan, just to take Lin Yin to play in the snow.

Jiang Fang hurriedly stepped forward, her little face crimson and curtsied: "I've seen Lord Bai!"

Bai Yuming knew Jiang Fang, and immediately returned the salute, then picked up Lin Yin and walked away.

Jiang Fang saw Bai Yuming pick up Lin Yin and leave, he was suddenly a little lost, and his eyes followed Bai Yuming for a while.

Yu Yu naturally saw it, but did not speak.

Such a thing, if Jiang Shufeng and Mrs. Jiang San do not agree, everything will be in vain.

Yu Yu and Jiang Fang each broke a branch of red plum, and as soon as they returned to the room, Jin'er came in and said that Mrs. Jiang San was here.
