Blessed

Chapter 88 I have something to tell you
Most of the women in the harem know how to read words and expressions. When they first saw this Fuchang County Lord, they were all shocked. This kind of appearance was even slightly inferior to that of Concubine Mu Gui, who was in the prime of his life. They were a little worried that the Emperor would take a fancy to this County Lord.The harem still needs to be drafted every few years, and the emperor is only in his 40s. If he really likes this county monarch, the Jiang family can only send her to the palace. With such an appearance, I am afraid that he will only favor the harem. No wonder they weren't worried.

Seeing the relief in Emperor Ruiwu's eyes, except for the lack of admiration and possessiveness, he felt a little more secure in his heart, probably knowing that Emperor Ruiwu regarded the county monarch as his own girl.

Needless to say, the food at the palace banquet was naturally more delicious than the ones prepared in the kitchen of the Hou's Mansion. Yuzhu ate a lot. Seeing that she was still the same as when he was a child, Emperor Ruiwu couldn't help laughing in his heart, after all, he was still a little girl.

Today was a family banquet, the crown prince Zhao Zhenyi and several side concubines were also there, and Jiang Yuning was naturally among them, she and Yuzhu were a little far away.

She is a side concubine and can't leave the palace. She hasn't seen Yuzhu in the past few years, and she is thinking about it. Now she visits Yuzhu frequently. The tall prince Zhao Zhenyi sits on the other side of her. Seeing her absent-minded look, He stretched out his hand and pinched her palm, and said softly, "Don't worry, people from the Hou Mansion will go to Pingyang Palace to visit you after the banquet. You have a lot of time to catch up with Miss Jiang Si, so don't worry too much, Jiang Si The girl has had a good life these past few years, the concubine likes her very much."

"Your Highness, thank you." Jiang Yuning looked up at her, her slightly frowning brows finally relaxed a little.

Zhao Zhenyi did not let go of Yuning's hand, but tightened it even more.

Yuning glanced at him, her heart shrank, and she lowered her eyelids with a sigh.

The third prince, Zhao Min, also liked Yuzhu quite a lot, so he glanced at Concubine Mu Guifei calmly.In the end it was her child, Concubine Mu knew what the third prince meant and wanted her to tell the emperor about the marriage.

Concubine Mu Gui couldn't help but look at Yuzhu a few times and frowned, she couldn't develop a good impression of a woman who was prettier than herself.Besides, she would rather tell her son about such a woman than let the emperor appear to compete with her for favor.

As your own daughter-in-law, how you want to be trained is not up to you?

With determination in mind, Concubine Mu Gui smiled and said, "I haven't seen you for a few years, and the gentleman born in Fuchang County is more and more attractive. I don't know who is lucky enough to marry such a beautiful person."

Yuzhu replied generously, "Thank you for your compliment, Imperial Concubine."

Concubine Mu Gui didn't know whether this girl was smart or stupid, so she could only continue to say, "I like Lord Fuchang County very much, it would be great if you could be my daughter-in-law." She turned her head and looked at Emperor Ruiwu. , "Your Majesty, what do you think?"

The people present were a little surprised. Didn't Concubine Mu Gui mean to beg the emperor to marry the third prince?
It stands to reason that the Lord of Fuchang County has a good status, and he has been serving the concubine for several years. The Jiang family is also an aristocratic family. It is okay to ration the third prince to be a side concubine. It's still possible, the emperor should agree.

Of course the harem concubine is willing.

The Jiang family was a little stunned, while the Mu family stared blankly at Concubine Mu Gui, clutching the corner of her clothes tightly.

Xie Che lowered his eyes with a cold expression.

Emperor Ruiwu smiled unabated, "Fuchang is indeed a good girl, but we should ask her family's opinion about this marriage." He asked Jiang Ansu, "Jiang Aiqing, what do you think of this marriage?" Naturally, it was Yuzhu and the third prince who asked .

Jiang Ansu stood up with a solemn expression, "Your Majesty, the third prince is a successful young man, so I naturally dare not be picky. It's just that I have selfish intentions. This daughter, Jiaojiao, is the lifeblood of my minister and my wife. She has been with me since she was a child. A few years ago She had the honor to go to the imperial temple to accompany the concubine for a few years. The minister and his wife are very happy. Just to say something private, the minister is also thinking about it very much. When Yuzhu comes back this time, the minister wants to stay for a few more years. After two or three years Say goodbye in the new year."

The corners of Concubine Mu Gui's lips were still raised, but her eyes turned cold.

Emperor Ruiwu didn't force it, and smiled at Concubine Mu Gui, "Look, if she wants to keep her daughter for two or three years, I'm afraid it's not good for me to give her a marriage like this. Let the people of the Hou Mansion decide for the little girl's marriage. She likes Min Yi, so of course I will marry her without saying anything."

"What the emperor said is true." Concubine Mu Gui smiled lightly, "I like Fuchang very much, but I don't have this blessing after all."

Yuzhu just laughed, "It's because I don't have such a blessing, and my courtiers also like the imperial concubine." Just now when the imperial concubine spoke, her heart shrank, but fortunately, the emperor is very kind.

The second half of the palace banquet was also spent eating and drinking in Yuzhu, as long as the emperor didn't ask for a marriage, she would have nothing to fear.

After eating, the female members of the Jiang family went to Pingyang Palace to visit the side concubine.

Yuning has been living a good life on the surface in the past few years. After giving birth to the emperor's eldest grandson, Emperor Ruiwu also dotes on this little emperor's grandson, not to mention the prince, who also loves her very much.The eldest grandson of the emperor, named Zhao Qi, is more than four years old this year. Yuning was pregnant for several months when Yuzhu went to the imperial temple.

Zhao Qi and the prince were almost carved out of the same mold, a little boy with red lips and white teeth, like a doughnut.

Yuzhu likes children very much, so she goes to play with Zhao Qi when she catches up with her older sister. The little guy can also play chess, sitting there upright and looking very cute. The kid's chess is actually pretty good. Play with him and give him a few chess pieces.

At the end of the game, she couldn't help asking Yuning, "Big sister, who taught Brother Qi's chess skills? Brother Qi is very good, and he is very good at chess at a young age."

Yuning sat down next to Yuzhu, "Father taught him, and Father likes him very much. He always spends an hour or two on weekdays calling him to study."

This is the eldest grandson of the emperor, and it is normal for the emperor to attach importance to it.Yuning went on to say, "But he should have learned this flag art from Shen Shizi."

"Shen Xian?" Yuzhu asked suspiciously after dropping a white stone.

Yuning nodded, "Shen Shizi is very good at chess, so my father asked him to guide Brother Xi's chess skills. This kid doesn't like to talk, but he learns things very quickly."

The Lin family of the big house can come to the palace every two months, and he often meets Yuning, so he won't worry about it. At this moment, the elders are sitting outside drinking tea and talking, and Yuning is inside with Yuzhu and Brother Qi plays chess.

The two sisters hadn't seen each other for five years, and they had a lot to say, and they chatted for nearly an hour before they had fun, and Yuzhu went back to the palace with her family.

When the people left, Prince Zhao Zhen also came back from Emperor Ruiwu's bedroom, and saw Yuning telling Zhao Qi to eat cakes in a soft voice, the little guy ate in silence, his temper would be similar to his childhood, taciturn.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, Yuning raised her head, saw that he was coming back, got up to meet him, took off his cloak and put it on the couch beside him, and ordered the maid to brew a pot of Lushan Yunwu tea. This kind of tea is rare, only Lushan It is only found in the wild, and it is a unique tribute tea. The tea buds are plump and green, and the aroma is fresh and long-lasting.

There are quite a few tribute teas in the palace, and Zhao Zhen only loves this kind.

He took out the tea set and filled it with begonia-style carved lacquer to fill the small tea tray for Jin Yunlong's birthday. There were a few chrysanthemum petals and jadeite teacups inside. Waiting for the maid to bring the teapot up, she lightly lifted the teapot and poured brightly colored tea into the emerald teacup. , clear in color and mellow in taste.

After making two cups of tea, Yuning handed Zhao Zhenyi a cup, "Your Highness, drink some tea."

Zhao Zhen also took the emerald teacup, took a sip, and sighed in his heart. When the cup of tea was exhausted, he called the wet nurse to carry brother Xi back to his room, and waved all the maids in the room back, The delicate and beautiful Yuning pulled her into her arms and sealed her mouth.

Yuning accepted his kiss silently, her mind was full of thoughts, remembering what the queen said to her two days ago, "Yuning, you are a good boy, you have experienced many things in this palace, and you know the dangers of this place, You may no longer have the Buddhist beads without jade beads. This is the imperial palace, a place where people cannibalize without blinking an eye. No one in it can trust you. You can live to this day. I ask myself that I have taught you a lot. Now I am a Mother wants to beg you..."

Zhao Zhenyi's kiss got deeper and deeper, but Yuning felt chills, and only the queen's words remained in her mind, "Go to Tong Zhenyi and let him soak in the rain and dew. The other three side concubines, he I've never touched it before. I, I don't know that he is such an infatuated kind. He likes you so much that he doesn't want to touch other concubines. But he is a prince, and he will become the most honorable person in the world in the future. If we were just an ordinary family, I would have nothing to say if he married you. But this is the palace, and the emperor would not like him like this. Yuning, please talk to him, even if it is for Zhenyi, here is The palace is not an ordinary back house."

Yuning closed her eyes, not knowing what to feel in her heart, a little moved, but also trembling with cold.In the past few years, her relationship with Zhenyi has become better and better. He dotes on her more and more, and he doesn't want her to suffer any grievances. He often sleeps with her, but occasionally spends the night elsewhere. She thought——who knows He never went to the residence of other concubines, never touched them.

He felt this way about her, how could she say that, I'm afraid he would be very sad if he said it.But what the queen said was right, after so many years, she knew the difficulties of Zhen Yi and the queen, and she took this step by step, being cautious in her words and deeds, and did not dare to make mistakes in anything.His behavior like this is affectionate, but the emperor would not like his successor to be an emotional person.

Zhao Zhen also stopped kissing her, and was touching her soft and jade-like body, a little emotional, his eyes were shining brightly, only her was reflected in his eyes.

Holding his hand, Yuning wanted to cry, "Your Highness, I have something to say to you."
