Lin Yuxuan was promoted again, and this time he was promoted from the fifth-rank official to the third-rank official, serving as the Minister of Rites.The servants of all the ministries have always worked through qualifications, but Lin Yuxuan's promotion did not cause much ripples in the court, and it may have been suggested by some people.Because of the previous secret meeting, several ministers and cabinet ministers were very easy-going towards him, which also surprised many officials.

"It's rare for Xiumu, why are you still watching with official business?" Shuyi walked in with her daughter in her arms, "Mother Chen just replied, saying that Daiyu might not be able to spend the New Year in the house."

"What's the matter?" Lin Yuxuan put down the mansion newspaper in his hand, and teased his daughter with a smile on his mouth, "Is it because the Li family has something to do so they are too busy?"

"It's Daiyu who is happy." Shuyi smiled, "It was only diagnosed today, just two months ago. Now that she is busy with things next year, she doesn't pay attention to it. If it wasn't for Mother Chen noticing the changes in her body, She probably has to wait until her belly grows to find out."

"That's really a good thing!" Lin Yuxuan was really happy. Lin Daiyu is pregnant, and the old lady of the Li family can't talk about it anymore. "Ask someone to pack up some anti-abortion medicinal materials and send them to my sister. Also, you had an anti-abortion earlier." Ask someone to make a copy of the precautions you wrote down and send it to her."

"I've ordered my servants to do all these things." Shuyi gently shook the infant Ning Chun, "What are you going to do about Daddy's affairs?"

Lin Ruhai has already resigned from her teaching position at Baili Academy, and plans to move to Requan Zhuangzi in the suburbs of Beijing after the beginning of spring.When they went to Beijing that year, they had already sent someone to watch on Zhuangzi, and they only needed to ask someone to clean it in advance.It's just that the people around Lin Ruhai must follow, so the Song Lin's family who has been helping Shuyi with housekeeping have to follow.

"Song Lin's family must follow along, and several other servants must also follow; the accountant must also ask people to prepare more bank notes; Dad is also fond of reading, and the books and ancient books in the study room in the main courtyard must be taken. Pack it well..." Lin Yuxuan thought about it, and after discussing everything with Shuyi, he said, "Now you have to take care of Ning Chun, but also a housekeeper, and occasionally look at Daiyu distractedly, it is hard work for you."

"Ning Chun has a nanny by her side, Lin Hui's family and Aunt Jiayi for the housekeeper, and Daiyu's side I just occasionally send Madam Chen over to ask, it's not too hard." Shuyi called Mammy Yu Carrying Ning Chun back to sleep, "By the way, the Jia family sent someone to say that the old man of the Jia family wants to invite you to a gathering in the Zuixian Tower in three days. What are your plans?"

Jia Amnesty?Lin Yuxuan rolled his eyes and said, "There's nothing wrong with the left and right, so it's good to go and see you."

Jia Amnesty's recent days have been blissful.Ever since he exposed Mrs. Wang's secretly going to the Lin family to borrow money in front of Jia Mu and asked the two houses to pay the silver, the power of the housekeeper of the Rongguo Mansion has been transferred to the big house.Although my daughter-in-law is the niece of the second bedroom, fortunately, the relationship between the two has become estranged, and they are no longer close as before.Although Jia Mu refused his request to take the mandarin ducks as concubines, it was not a loss to buy two beautiful maids with a few hundred taels of silver.

Thanks to Lin's nephew!Jia She felt that it was a wonderful thing for him to make friends with Lin Yuxuan, he poured a glass of wine shaking his head, and waited for Lin Yuxuan's arrival.It would be even better if things could be settled later.

"Eldest Uncle is here." Lin Yuxuan walked in wearing a black mink fur jacket, "I was late for something just now, please don't be offended by Eldest Uncle."

"Haha, you are now the emperor's trusted minister, so naturally you have many children, I'll just wait." Jia She rarely poured Lin Yuxuan a glass of wine, "I haven't congratulated you yet on the birth of a daughter, come, uncle to offer you a toast. "

"Thank you, Uncle." Lin Yuxuan drank the cup calmly.

"I heard that the princess is the only one around you now. Is this true?" Before Lin Yuxuan could speak, Jia She continued, "All men should have three wives and four concubines, and even princesses and emperors' daughters can't stop you from taking concubines. .I heard that when she was pregnant, you didn't have anyone to wait on you, how can this be okay?"

"It's just that I don't want to take sides. I don't care about the princess's affairs." Lin Yuxuan frowned slightly.What is the meaning of Jia She, the hungry ghost in color? Could it be that he wants to give me some strange woman beside him?

Soon, Lin Yuxuan knew what Jia She meant.Jia Amnesty wants to make Jia Yingchunping his second wife!Lin Yuxuan was startled by these words, and choked up before he swallowed the wine.Jia Yingchun is also nineteen years old, and she is not married yet? !Lin Yuxuan coughed for a long time before saying, "I was surprised by what Uncle said, but I can't agree."

Jia Amnesty still wanted to persuade him, but Lin Yuxuan interrupted him: "One, I have a deep relationship with the princess and I don't want anyone to intervene; two, Miss Jia is a girl from the Duke's mansion, how can she be someone else's concubine? But Miss Jia Er was drafted at the same time as my younger sister, and her age is also..."

Jia She's face was a little embarrassing, he had never cared about this daughter, if he hadn't suddenly remembered that he had an unmarried daughter, he would not have thought of giving her to Lin Yuxuan as his concubine, after all, Lin Yuxuan is now the court For a rising star, finding such a family for her daughter can be regarded as making up for it.

"I didn't mention this matter to me. Uncle should make a family for the second girl Jia early." Lin Yuxuan didn't want to marry a concubine or anything like that, and he didn't even want to get involved with the Jia family.

"It's just that I don't know many people, why don't my nephew help me find them?" Jia Amnesty is not unintelligent, since this way doesn't work, he will find another way. In short, he wants to marry Jia Yingchun before she is 20 years old.

Lin Yuxuan frowned and thought about it, thinking of Liu Xianglian.It would probably be a good idea to bring together Jia Yingchun and Liu Xianglian, but with such a father-in-law, will his Qiaozhizhai be targeted?

After discussing with Liu Xianglian, Liu Xianglian also agreed.He didn't care that the girl was still in the boudoir at such an age, and he also believed Lin Yuxuan's description of the girl, knowing that she was a dull and quiet girl, not counting her bad natal family, this girl was also pretty good.Anyway, he was alone guarding a small house, and it was time to settle down.

As for worrying about Jia Amnesty or the Rongguo Mansion targeting Qiao Zhizhai, then there is no need to worry.Qiaozhizhai is under the name of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, that is, it belongs to the royal family. No matter how bold the members of his Jia family are, they would not dare to embezzle the royal family's things at the risk of the world.

Now that Liu Xianglian agreed, it would be easy.Even though Mother Jia didn't want her granddaughter to marry a businessman, since it had already been decided, and even the date of birth was exchanged, Mother Jia had nothing to do.After the New Year's Eve, the two of them made a small commitment, and they decided to get married on the tenth day of the fourth lunar month.

"Your Majesty, I heard that the Empress intends to hold another draft this year, and I have already sent someone to invite the Emperor to talk." Baoqin walked in with small steps and whispered in Jia Yuanchun's ear.

"Draft?" Jia Yuanchun took off the armor in his hand, "Didn't the emperor say that he would not mention this matter after that draft? Why did the queen think of it again?" There are already enough people in the palace who are competing with her Now, if some more are selected, how will she maintain the emperor's favor for her in the future?

"It is said that the empress thinks that there are too few princes and princesses in the palace, so she wants to choose more beautiful women to fill the harem and extend the heirs." Looking at Jia Yuanchun's face while holding the piano, his voice became lower and lower, "What is your empress going to do?" ?”

"What else can I do? The queen said clearly that she is thinking about the emperor's heirs. Could it be possible that I can stop it?" Jia Yuanchun pulled his face and smiled bitterly, "Now the queen, concubine He and concubine Ning have all given birth. This virtuous concubine occupies the position of concubine, but she is ridiculed behind her back as a hen that cannot lay eggs."

"Your Majesty..." Baoqin could only persuade her as usual, "Maybe it's just that the time has not yet come. Your Majesty is in good health, so how could you not be pregnant? Besides, your Majesty has always insisted on taking the birth control pills, and when the time is right, you will have a baby." The good news is out."

"Fertility medicine? I've been drinking it for so many years, why is it still like this?" Jia Yuanchun snorted.

Baoqin moved his lips, didn't know what to say, so he could only change the subject: "Speaking of which, why don't you see Shaoyao serving by your side?"

"She went to help me decoct the medicine." Jia Yuanchun said casually, then frowned, "Decoction?"

Baoqin has served Jia Yuanchun for a long time, looking at Jia Yuanchun frowning, he knew that Jia Yuanchun had doubts in his heart, and said: "Since Shao Yao was promoted, she has been in charge of the birth control medicine for the empress, and it has been a year. What do you think, ma'am?"

"This prescription was brought to me by my mother. I'm afraid it won't harm me. The ingredients are all from the hospital, and they are all high-quality medicines. There will probably be no problem. It's just that I have been unable to conceive. Is there someone here?" My medicine has been tampered with?" Jia Yuanchun pondered, "It's just that the imperial doctor who asked me for a safe pulse kept saying that I'm fine..."

"Could someone bribe the imperial doctor of the imperial hospital? The one who asked the empress for peace of mind has always been the imperial physician Wei. It is probably not difficult to bribe him to cheat. Maybe he may also play tricks behind the scenes to prevent the empress from conceiving. What!" Baoqin conspired and said urgently, "I will invite other imperial physicians to check the pulse of the empress Haosheng right now!"

"Go!" Jia Yuanchun was also persuaded by Baoqin's words, and he believed so in his heart.

While waiting for Imperial Physician Zeng from Imperial Hospital to come over, Jia Yuanchun ordered someone to trap Shaoyao so that she would not come to the main hall, and he stretched out his hand to ask Imperial Physician Zeng to feel his pulse.

Doctor Zeng withdrew his hand, knelt down and said, "Your Majesty is in good health, there is nothing wrong with it."

"Since there is no, why can't I still get pregnant?" Jia Yuanchun didn't believe it, if she was healthy, she wouldn't have nothing to do all the time, "The anti-fetal drugs I took were all caught by the Tai Hospital, and Ping Anmai was also from the Tai Hospital If it's not that I have a problem with my body, then it's because you imperial physicians are not skilled in medicine!"

"Your Majesty, forgive me!" Imperial Physician Zeng felt bitter, the emperor didn't want you to be pregnant, could it be possible that us slaves could object?A thought quickly came to his mind, and he said: "My lady's anti-fetal medicine was taken by Weichen according to the prescription, so there must be nothing wrong. But my lady has to thoroughly investigate the people around her for making small moves, reducing or increasing the amount of certain medicines. If someone really does this, it will be useless to drink more of this fertility drug."

Jia Yuanchun frowned slightly, and asked Baoqin to go to the kitchen to bring the dregs of yesterday's decoction.

Doctor Zeng waited fidgeting, and when Baoqin came, he carefully searched the medicine residue, and he was relieved that someone really did something.He put down the medicine pot, bowed his head and said: "The medicine that I wrote to the empress contains motherwort, angelica and donkey-hide gelatin, all of which are medicinal materials for warming the meridian and warming the palace, but the amount of the three medicines in the medicine dregs is too small, so it can't be cured." Most of the effects, this may be the reason why the empress is still unable to conceive."

"Baby maid!" Jia Yuanchun's eyes were about to blaze, Baoqin immediately sent away Doctor Zeng when he saw this.

Doctor Zeng wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and breathed a sigh of relief.As for the court lady who was found out, I'm sorry, people will be punished for their own sake!

Jia Yuanchun's eyes were red with hatred, but he missed someone beating Shao Yao to death.Baoqin quickly persuaded: "Your Majesty, think twice, you must not kill this lowly servant girl like this, there must be someone behind her who ordered her, and your empress must find out!"

"You're right, I can't let the person behind the scenes go. Come, get Shaoyao, the murderer, to the Punishment Department, and ask the Jingqi nuns to interrogate her! I want to know who instigated her!" Jia Yuanchun clenched his nails painted with crimson cardamom oil tightly, almost bleeding from his palms, "Tell the nuns, don't feel sorry for me, all the 49 punishments of the Punishment Department will be used by that cheap peony." On the servant girl!"

Baoqin shivered, and quickly said yes.Even a mute from the Department of Punishment would yell out in pain, let alone a weak woman, this Shao Yao, after being tortured, I am afraid that she will go down to see King Yama.
