Chapter 500: Nepotism
He cried aggrievedly, mournfully, and earth-shatteringly, causing people to look sideways. Those who didn't know thought it was Xiao Jin's beheading!
Xiao Jin really disliked the embarrassment, so he directly asked the imperial army to carry him back to the imperial study room, and closed the door of the palace, cutting off all the sight of exploration.
"Zhu Lin, shut up for me!"
Zhu Lin still cried with his eyes closed.
Su Ying rubbed her swollen eyebrows, "If you don't shut up, I'll kick you like a ball."
Zhu Lin's crying stopped abruptly, and he looked at Su Ying with both aggrieved and happy faces, the little daughter-in-law's expression made Su Ying feel disgusted.
Su Ying sat down on the chair, "I heard that you must see Bengong? Tell me, what's the matter?"
Zhu Lin sobbed and said: "Weichen, I just want to meet the real empress..."
Su Ying's eyebrows twitched again, "And then?"
Zhu Lin looked at Su Ying eagerly, as if to make sure that she was really still alive. God knows what kind of shock he felt when he watched Su Ying fall from the dam.
As long as he closes his eyes, the image of Su Ying falling into the dam will appear in his mind. When he wakes up, there is only one obsession left, and that is to find Su Ying, whether dead or alive!
He really didn't expect that he could still see a living creature!
After he recovered from his illness, he immediately wanted to enter the palace to ask to see Su Ying, but Xiao Jin refused, and today he took advantage of the vacancy of going to court to take advantage of the loophole!
But Zhu Lin soon felt a chill down his back. He didn't dare to look up in Xiao Jin's direction, so he was very clever and let it go, and began to ask Su Ying about the materials used to fill the gap in the dam.
The imperial court intends to take advantage of the flood season to repair the old dam, so it can't always let that thing be repaired there.
"That thing is easy to handle, you go get some sour vinegar and pour it on, and the thing will melt."
Zhu Lin didn't expect it to be so simple, and he also knew what it was that was so sticky.
Zhu Lin still wanted to say something, so he asked Xiao Jin to ask the Imperial Army to bring it up.
The imperial study room was finally quiet.
Su Ying was speechless, "How did he serve as an official for so long?"
Xiao Jin frowned slightly, and thought about it seriously, "It may be nepotism."
Su Ying nodded approvingly, "It makes sense."
"feel better now?"
"I'll be fine when I wake up in the morning."
Xiao Jin took her hand, feeling the coolness in her palm, and wrapped her hand in his palm with his big hand.
"There is something, let's see if you want to come forward."
"What's up?"
"It's that Zhou Xiangrong of the Marquis of Bo'an. The news that she cured the plague in Luo City has been spread in a small area in the city. She really has meritorious service. If you want to reward her face to face, then I will not show up. If you don't want to show up, I will Just send someone down to reward you with something."
Su Ying hurriedly forgot about this matter. Thinking of Zhou Xiangrong, Su Ying took a chance to visit her back when she returned to Beijing before, and she didn't see any obvious scars on her back, so she is not sure about her now. Was it the dead woman she met on the official road before?
But she was still somewhat curious about this person.
"Tomorrow, I will let her enter the palace to ask."
"good."
Xiao Jin took Su Ying's hand out of the imperial study room, and was going back to Fengluan Palace to have lunch with his two children.
As soon as the two walked outside the door, they saw Jiang Yang walking towards them.
Jiang Yang was also a little surprised when he saw them, "See the emperor, empress."
The two stopped, "Get up."
Jiang Yang got up and saw Su Ying was there, so he took the initiative to ask: "Madam, I don't know how my wife is doing now?"
Lin Zhuyu is completely reluctant to leave. Su Ying gave her medicine for a few days, and her condition has stabilized. It is also possible to leave the palace now, but she is not happy, and she will not leave even if she is not on duty. Pulling her to chat, made Bai Shuang feel very resentful. Originally, when she was not on duty, she just wanted to lie down and read the script, but she had to spend all the rest time on Lin Zhuyu.
"It's much better. If you miss her, I will ask someone to send her back to you."
Jiang Yang had a look of surprise in his eyes, but he was also a little worried, "Is the child stable?"
"It's almost there. It won't be a big problem to take the medicine back when the time comes."
Hearing what Su Ying said, Jiang Yang was completely relieved.
"Thank you, my lady."
Jiang Yang looked at Xiao Jin after talking to Su Ying, "I have something to report to the emperor."
Su Ying let go of Xiao Jin's hand upon hearing this, "I'll go back first, otherwise the children will have to wait for a long time."
Xiao Jin nodded, "Well, don't wait for me, eat first."
"good."
Xiao Jin and Jiang Yang returned to the imperial study.
Su Ying returned to Fengluan Palace first.
When she arrived at Fengluan Palace, the two treasures were already waiting for her in the inner hall.
"Aniang, where have you been?" Erbao trotted out all the way, holding Su Ying's hand and asked.
"Mother has gone to your father's place, are you hungry? If you are hungry, let them bring you lunch."
Dabao glanced behind Su Ying, "Didn't Daddy come back?"
"Well, it may be later. You guys have to take a lunch break later, eat first, and sleep well when you are full, otherwise you will not have the energy to go to class in the afternoon."
"Know it."
"Your Majesty is not feeling well today. After eating for a while, follow the First Prince and the others to lie down on the bed. Don't run around." Mother Zhao took a clean wet handkerchief and came over to wipe their hands.
Su Ying frowned and said, "Didn't you let Mother Zhao have a good rest? Why did you come out again?"
Mother Zhao smiled gently, "Old slave, I feel uncomfortable if I don't see the eldest prince and little princess for a day. I don't feel any discomfort and I take the medicine prescribed by the empress on time. I'm fine."
"Then don't get tired and don't lift heavy objects."
"Yes, the old slave must remember, just do some light work, and go back to rest when tired, the old slave wants to live a few more years, and watch the eldest prince and the others grow up."
"Mother Zhao can not only watch them grow up, but it is not difficult for them to marry wives and have children."
Mother Zhao smiled until the creases on her face deepened, "Your Majesty said so."
"After eating for a while, the old slave asked the embroidered lady from the embroidered palace to measure the size of the queen and the eldest prince. It will be winter in a month or two, and the winter in the capital will be colder earlier. Get your winter clothes ready first."
"good."
Su Ying took the two children and Xiao Jin didn't come back even after eating enough.
When the mother and son were sitting and chatting to digest food, the embroidered lady from Xiugong arrived.
Mother Zhao looked at the size Xiu Niang measured for Su Ying and said, "Your Majesty looks a little taller than last year."
Su Ying stretched out her hand and gestured on the top of her head, but she couldn't see why, and she didn't know if she had grown taller, anyway, she always looked like a dwarf in front of Xiao Jin.
"Ling'er and Ji'er have really grown a lot taller."
Especially Ji'er, with her straight back, she already has the aura of an emperor.
