The crown prince's favorite girl, she found another good match

Chapter 14 Zhang Jian returns home
However, as soon as she finished scolding Li Baojia, she turned around and said happily: "But that's all right. Look, you haven't been there for a few days, and His Royal Highness actually sent Eunuch Huang to urge you. This is obviously his intention for you. .”

"You have to seize this opportunity."

After she finished talking here, she thought of the Lantern Festival that was coming soon: "Have you embroidered the handkerchief for the Lantern Festival?"

Li Baojia grabbed Xiao Tao and ran away: "I'll go back and study the soup."

Mrs. Huang shook her head from behind, sighed, and in a blink of an eye she was happily helped back by Mother Li.

On the way, she couldn't help but feel happy: "I finally got through this. Looking at His Highness the Crown Prince's attitude, I think it's a done deal."

Mother Lin next to her also agreed: "Yes, as long as the young lady works harder, the position of crown princess must be hers."

Mother Lin hesitated again: "Madam, look at this matter... why don't you also talk to the master, so that the master can ask for grace quickly and finalize the marriage."

Mrs. Huang said: "Of course I have to tell him, and let that surnamed Qin see, even if she broke a few lamps this time, it's a firm matter, and I can't run away."

Mother Lin said happily: "When the master comes back, I will immediately invite him to come to the courtyard."

The two people here were beaming with joy, but Li Baojia was lying on the table, too worried to move.

Xiao Tao said: "Miss, His Royal Highness...what does this mean?"

Li Baojia propped up her head and closed her eyes to rest: "I don't know either. If this continues, mother and the others will feel that there is hope, but they are determined to have me marry into the East Palace."

I don’t know why Zhao Yi is so angry. Does he have to focus on her as a shield?
At this moment, a pretty little maid came in hurriedly, carrying some tea: "Miss, the person below who is staring at the Zhang Mansion said that Mr. Zhang is back."

Li Baojia stood up straight from the bed and said, "So fast? Get me a carriage quickly. I'm going to Zhang Mansion."

-

After getting off the carriage, Li Baojia went straight to Li Jiaying's yard. When he got to the main hall, he saw them all neatly there.

Li Jiaying was very surprised when she saw her coming: "Jia'er, you...why are you here?"

It was obvious that the current situation made her a little panicked and embarrassed.

She sat on one side of the seat, and on the other side sat a man who looked about thirty years old, wearing a blue robe and casual clothes. He should be Zhang Shilang Zhang Jian.

The woman sitting below him must be Ping. She is wearing a rose-red embroidered skirt and holding a handkerchief. Although she is the mother of a seven-year-old child, there is no trace of time on her face.

Looking at the appearance of the two people opposite, those who didn't know thought that they were a serious couple. They played harmoniously, and it seemed that Li Jiaying, who was sitting alone at one end, was a little deserted.

Li Baojia said: "I suddenly wanted to see my sister today, but I didn't expect that my brother-in-law would come back?"

Zhang Jian was a little surprised when he saw a girl suddenly appear at home.

However, this girl looked young, probably not yet out of the imperial court. She was wearing a green embroidered skirt, with two small bells hanging on both sides of her bun, and her smiling eyes made it difficult for people to dislike her.

He asked: "Who is the girl?"

"This is the second girl from my uncle's family, her name is Baojia."

Zhang Jian heard this and said, "It turns out you are a girl from Taifu Li's family. Then I will call you Sister Baojia."

She turned around and asked someone to show her a seat.

Li Baojia said in her heart, I don’t have a brother as old as you.

I can honestly say that this profile is not bad in length, has a handsome appearance, and cannot be called old. However, because Li Baojia is now full of malice towards him, it looks ugly no matter how you look at it.

The Ping family next to him interjected: "Sister, good sign, we are talking here..."

Li Baojia interrupted her and directly asked Li Jiaying next to her: "Sister, who is this?"

Mrs. Ping tugged at her handkerchief and managed to smile again.

Li Jiaying could only say: "This...this is the concubine of the house, the Ping family."

"So it's my concubine." Li Baojia deliberately said the word "concubine" louder: "Then why do you call me sister? I don't want a sister like you."

There was clear dislike in her tone, and she raised her head proudly. Although the words were a bit mean, but coming from such an immature girl, it only made people feel that although she was a little bit spoiled, she was also straightforward and cute.

Ping's face turned pale, and the fire in her eyes was so strong that it was about to overflow. She grabbed the handkerchief and turned to Zhang Jian: "Mr. Jian..."

Zhang Jian held her hand comfortingly: "My sister is still young and not sensible, so don't argue with her."

Ping almost lost her breath. Seeing that he was unwilling to help her, she could only say nothing and became quiet next to him.

Zhang Jian said: "Sister, I don't know. Mother Ying...she just told me that she is going back to Suzhou to raise her baby. We are discussing this matter."

"What does the brother-in-law think?"

"I think it's a long journey, and it's not good for the fetus... Besides, I went back to my parents' house to raise the fetus just after I got pregnant. Those who don't know think that my Zhang family can't afford it." Zhang Jian frowned slightly.

Looking at him like that, it doesn't look like he is telling lies. It seems that he is not that vicious. He can even give up the child for the sake of the Ping family. He is still somewhat sincere towards the child.

Li Baojia smiled slightly: "But when I came here some time ago, sister Jiaying was missing her second aunt in her dreams. I don't know what kind of nightmare she had, and she kept shouting for her mother to save her. That's why I suggested that my sister return to Suzhou to raise the baby, and Look at the second uncle and the second aunt."

Li Jiaying was stunned, how could such a thing happen?
Li Baojia secretly squeezed her hand under the seat to signal her to stop talking.

Zhang Jian said: "Who will harm her at home, why is this?"

"Brother-in-law is considerate. Pregnant women are inherently sensitive. My sister misses her mother too much. This is her first pregnancy. I will take care of her on the road together when I go back this time. Brother-in-law, don't worry. If you are worried at home every day, Worrying and worrying is not good for the baby in your belly."

"Besides, because my wife misses her mother so much and returns to her parents' home to raise her baby, outsiders will only say that my brother-in-law is considerate of my wife and will never say anything else."

Zhang Jian was stunned by what she said: "Then...this..."

The Ping family next to her saw this trend and immediately intervened to stop her: "But Miss Li, who is so far away, is just a little girl herself. If something goes wrong, others don't want to gossip behind her. "

Zhang Jian's soft-eared, indecisive, and cowardly temperament was fully revealed at this time. He was hesitant: "Then... what should I do?"

Li Baojia said: "There is no need to worry. I have sent a letter to my cousin a few days ago. He will pick us up and go to Suzhou."

Mr. Ping was choked up and didn't know what to say.

Zhang Jian finally made the decision: "Okay, but I'd better wait at home until the fetus is stable before going."

Li Baojia smiled and said, "That's natural. We'll set off again in a few days after the Lantern Festival."

Mrs. Ping was a little anxious and pulled Zhang Jian's sleeve: "Mr. Jian..."

Zhang Jian turned around and said, "Qing Niang, what's wrong?"

Maybe she realized that as a concubine, it would be suspicious to say anything to retain her. With the eyes of three people in the room staring at her, she could only grit her teeth and said: "Nothing, I'm just a little tired."
