History of Empress Dowager Development

Chapter 221

In the afternoon, Lin Lang took the water chestnut cake specially made by the small kitchen to the Chuigong Hall where Xu Lang lived.Xu Lang was critiquing papers at the moment, and the tea beside him had not been touched for a long time, and when it got cold, Li Rui, the eunuch next to him, was changing the hot tea.Seeing Lin Lang enter the door, Li Rui hurriedly bowed to salute, Xu Lang noticed his movement and raised his head.

"Lin Lang." Xu Lang's frowning brows stretched out, seeing the food box in the hands of the little maid behind her, he smiled and said, "Come to bring me delicious food again?"

"At noon, the emperor and the courtiers were discussing matters. Lunch was in a hurry. I think the emperor must be hungry after approving the papers for a long time." The natural complexion is bright and beautiful, and a little makeup is already a moving posture.Xu Lang watched her grow up little by little, and her face became more and more beautiful, nothing could be enough.

Seeing her taking the food box and walking forward slowly, Xu Lang also left the imperial case to welcome her, opened the food box to have a look, and said happily: "It's water chestnut cake."

The outer room is a place for reviewers to discuss affairs, Xu Lang entered with Lin Lang's hand, and the inner room is the inner room for living.

"Taste it?" Lin Lang beckoned, and a court lady brought tea. She took out the pastry and put it on the table. Keep Linlang inside.

In May, the weather is already hot. The front of the Chuigong Hall is solemn and solemn, but behind the inner room is a pond with lotus leaves and fish swimming leisurely.At this moment, the window sash has been set up, the breeze is blowing outside, and the willows are dancing by the pond.

There was an extremely large arhat bed under the window, Xu Lang held Lin Lang in his arms and walked over to rest for a while, the two crossed their legs side by side, looking at the scenery outside the window.Although the palace city is majestic and prosperous, after all the continuous palace occupies most of it, although there are decorations everywhere, it is limited after all.

Lin Lang leaned on Xu Lang's shoulder, she didn't dare to speak her mind to Chu Hanyi, but she was not afraid to Xu Lang, she whispered: "If it is outside the palace, in this weather, I should go to the mountains in a carriage to escape the summer heat. I remember the beautiful scenery of Xishan Mountain, I have been there several times, but I can’t get enough of it.”

"That's right. You were only ten years old when we went to the Biwen Lake to relax." Xu Lang held her in his arms, burdened with government affairs, but he also missed the scenery there, "At that time, Xiang'er taught you how to ride a horse. , You folded a lot of flowers and hugged them, they are so beautiful." She turned her head and pecked lightly on her face.

"It's obviously yours who picked it, but you actually blame me." Lin Lang giggled, supported his face to look at him, and said seriously: "How did you become the emperor, but your face is getting thicker and thicker."

"Really?" Xu Lang touched his face, suddenly smiled, and when Lin Lang was caught off guard, he leaned over and pressed her down, "When did I get thick-skinned?"

"Speak seriously, don't make trouble!" Lin Lang couldn't resist the strength of a warrior like him. Xu Lang held down the soft flesh on his waist, huddled in his arms, and tried to hold back her smile. I'm here to give you the concubine's business."

"It's so hard to hold back." Xu Lang sighed, "I thought she could wait at least a few more months." He looked down at Lin Lang, "How did you answer?"

"Can I still prevent the selection of concubine? I can only say that I have no objection." Lin Lang hooked the corners of her lips, "Yesterday, the empress invited Xun Liang's daughter, Chu Huaian's daughter, and Shen Weizhi, Deng Yan, and Lu Deming. Waiting for someone's daughter to enter the palace to enjoy the flowers, and the Yingying and Yanyan in the garden, I see the situation, the queen mother is very satisfied with the appearance of these few."

"Xun Liang is the prime minister on the right, Chu Huaian is in the Ministry of War, Shen Weizhi, Deng Yan, Lu Deming and others are also very popular marquises, of course the queen mother will be satisfied." Xu Lang said helplessly, "She is also thinking about the country, you don't have to worry about it , leave it to me."

"Then work hard, husband." Lin Lang pressed against Xu Lang's chest and hugged him tightly, "Just don't make the queen mother sad."

"In-laws are useful to stabilize the government, but they are not necessary." Seeing his wife frowning, he couldn't help but feel distressed, "If I can't even do what I promised you, how can I win the trust of you?" People in the world. Don't worry, your husband is not that weak."

Lin Lang nodded and said, "I know." After all, she was still afraid that Xu Lang would not be able to figure out the woman's thoughts, so she asked, "What are you going to tell the queen mother?"

"I only love the empress in this life, and I will never accept a concubine."

"It's no wonder that the queen mother is not angry." Lin Lang shook her head helplessly, "I'm afraid her old man will think that you are too partial and mess around for a woman."

"Then what do you think?" Xu Lang was very interested.

"The queen mother mentioned accepting concubines, but to help you stabilize the government and reproduce children. If you refuse outright, wouldn't it be chilling. In my opinion, don't mention the matter of never accepting concubines, just delay it later. "

"When will it be delayed?"

Lin Lang pursed her lips and smiled, "It's only a matter of time if you can delay it for a while. You should take it slowly so that the queen mother can accept it."
