History of Empress Dowager Development

Chapter 164

However, the weather in the north was very cold, and Xu Xiang jumped there so happily that he was caught in the wind and cold. In addition, Mrs. Xu wrote a letter to call her back, so Xu Xiang set off to return to Beijing first.When she left, the war in the north was coming to an end. It was said that Xu Lang had captured the opponent's coach Tieleg alive, and he would be escorted back to Beijing soon.

"The female mink saved by the second brother has already given birth, and he said he would bring it back to you personally." Xu Xiang smiled, and put his arms around Linlang's shoulders, "Linlang, Linlang, I never thought that you would She will become my sister-in-law!" She said with a sigh, "I still have to call you the second sister-in-law when I see you in the future, do you think I am at a loss?"

"Do you think it's a loss?" Lin Lang laughed secretly, "It's a pity that I don't have another good brother, otherwise if you let him, we'll be even."

"It's a good deal." Xu Xiang was happy, and then he thought about it, "Then my second brother is at a loss. Should he be called brother-in-law, or should he be called brother after you?" This was impossible. , Thinking about it is also interesting, the two laughed and walked slowly.

Speaking of things in the capital, Xu Xiang asked: "I heard that you entered the palace during the Double Ninth Festival?"

"Yeah, but I'm so smart, I've already dealt with it!" Lin Lang was in a good mood when her good sister returned after a long absence, perhaps mixed with the joy of looking forward to Xu Lang's return.

Xu Xiang said: "She invited you into the palace, is it because of the selection of the crown princess?" Seeing Lin Lang nodded, he said again: "Let me guess again, could this be Zhuang Yan's idea?"

"Otherwise? There are so many noble girls in the capital, and my family background is not that good. How can the empress know me?" Lin Lang curled her lips, "But her abacus doesn't work, I think Princess Shujia didn't seem to be Look at me, Zhuang Yan's persuasion may not be useful."

Xu Xiangdao: "You don't know Zhuang Yan. She is used to being arrogant and pampered, and she will not give up until she achieves her goal. The queen won't work here, and she will tease others."

"You mean... the prince?" Lin Lang felt a headache.If the prince is really teased, it will be difficult to deal with.Xu He's family has only made a verbal marriage agreement at present, and has not yet given a betrothal gift to set a date, if they really want to make a stab at it, there will inevitably be disturbances at that time.

Conflicting with the royal family is definitely not a wise move, Lin Lang can only say: "I will avoid going out of the house from now on, just avoid her." Or... Find something for Zhuang Yan to do so that she has no time to attend to him?But this relationship is not small, and I have to discuss it with the eldest lady.

Xu Xiang gloated beside her with a smile, "If you want me to say, it's best if you get married as soon as possible, then the dust will settle, and Zhuang Yan won't be able to make waves!" Lin Lang swung a whip and lashed her on her horse's back .

When Zhuang Yan on the other end learned that the queen had no intention of being interested in He Linlang, she really thought of other ways.She knew the empress's love for the crown prince, if she could persuade the crown prince to look at He Linlang, and the crown prince insisted on accepting her as his side concubine, the empress would definitely agree, wouldn't Xu Lang's place be vacant?
Thinking of Linlang's performance in front of Princess Shujia that day, Zhuang Yan felt resentful, not to mention that her elder sister made peace because of a child, it was a shame to the dealer!Hmph, it's best to let He Linlang be the crown prince's side concubine first, and then use some means to make her fall out of favor, then everyone will be happy.

She was making a lot of calculations here, and a message came out from outside, which almost shocked her out of her wits—it was rumored everywhere in the capital that Zhuang Yuanjin, the son of the Yan family and the imperial guard, actually raised a child prostitute outside!

At that time Zhuang Yan was drinking tea and choked on hearing this letter.After finally calming down her cough, Zhuang Yan asked the little girl in disbelief, "Is the news accurate?"

"Slaves don't dare to talk nonsense, the master and wife have also got the letter, and they are in a mess. I don't know who made the rumor, and said that our son is in the Taoist temple..."

"Shut up!" Zhuang Yan yelled angrily, her face had already changed color.Her elder brother is an upright gentleman, young and promising, how could he do such a nasty thing!This kind of thing spread to the emperor's ears, even if it is false, it will have an impact on the face of the Zhuang family and Zhuang Yuanjin's future. This rumor-monger really has the heart to punish him!
