Chapter 500 Nepotism
Zhu Lin burst into tears with a "wow".
He cried with grievance, sorrow, and earth-shakingness, which made people look at him sideways. Those who didn't know would have thought that Xiao Jin had executed his entire family!
Xiao Jin was so disgusted with the embarrassment that he ordered the imperial guards to take the man back to the imperial study and close the palace door, blocking out all inquiring eyes.
"Zhu Lin, shut up!"
Zhu Lin still cried with his eyes closed.
Su Ying rubbed her swollen brows and said, "If you don't shut up, I'll kick you like a ball."
Zhu Lin stopped crying abruptly and looked at Su Ying with a face full of grievance and joy. Su Ying felt sick seeing the young wife's expression.
Su Ying sat down on the chair. "I heard that you must see me? Tell me, what's the matter?"
Zhu Lin sobbed and said, "Your humble servant, your humble servant just wants to see the living queen..."
Su Ying's eyebrows twitched again, "And then?"
Zhu Lin stared at Su Ying, as if to make sure that she was really still alive. God knows how shocked he was when he watched Su Ying fall from the dam.
Whenever he closed his eyes, the scene of Su Ying falling off the dam would appear in his mind. When he woke up, he had only one obsession left, which was to find Su Ying, whether dead or alive!
He really didn't expect to see a living person!
After he recovered from his illness, he wanted to go to the palace to see Su Ying, but was rejected by Xiao Jin. Today, he took advantage of the opportunity during the court session to find an opportunity!
However, Zhu Lin soon felt a chill down his spine. He did not dare to look up in the direction of Xiao Jin. He was very smart and decided to stop while he was ahead. He began to ask Su Ying about the materials needed to fill the gap in the dam.
The imperial court was planning to repair the old dam after the flood season was over; they couldn't just leave it there forever.
"That thing is easy to deal with. Just pour some vinegar on it and it will dissolve."
Zhu Lin didn't expect it to be so simple, and he also wondered what the thing was that had such strong stickiness.
Zhu Lin wanted to say something, but Xiao Jin asked the imperial guards to take him away.
The imperial study was finally quiet.
Su Ying was speechless, "How did he stay in office for so long?"
Xiao Jin frowned slightly and thought carefully, "It may be nepotism."
Su Ying nodded in agreement, "That makes sense."
"Better?"
"It will be fine when you wake up in the morning."
Xiao Jin pulled her hand over, feeling the coolness of her palm, and wrapped his big hand around hers.
"There's something I want to ask you to come forward."
"What's up?"
"It's Zhou Xiangrong from the Marquis of Bo'an. The news that she cured the plague in Luocheng has spread to a small area in the city. She really did a great job. If you want to reward her in person, I won't show up. If you don't want to show up, I'll send someone to give her some gifts."
Su Ying was so busy that she forgot about this matter. Thinking of Zhou Xiangrong, Su Ying found an opportunity to look at her back when she returned to Beijing before, and did not see any obvious scars on her back, so she was not sure whether she was the dead woman she met on the official road before.
But she was still somewhat curious about this person.
"I'll ask her to come to the palace to ask tomorrow."
"good."
Xiao Jin took Su Ying's hand and walked out of the imperial study, preparing to return to Fengluan Palace to have lunch with the two children.
As soon as they walked out the door, they saw Jiang Yang coming towards them.
Jiang Yang was also a little surprised when he saw them, "Your Highness, Queen."
The two stopped and said, "Get up."
Jiang Yang stood up and saw Su Ying there, so he asked, "Madam, how is my wife doing now?"
Lin Zhuyu was completely enjoying herself and didn't want to leave the palace. Su Ying had given her medicine for a few days and her condition had stabilized. She could leave the palace now, but she was unwilling to do so and refused to leave no matter what. Bai Shuang insisted on chatting with her when she was not on duty, which made Bai Shuang very resentful. Originally, she just wanted to lie down and read storybooks when she was not on duty, but she had to spend all her rest time on Lin Zhuyu.
"Much better. If you miss her, I will have someone send her back to you."
Jiang Yang's eyes showed a look of surprise, but also a little worried, "Is the child stable?"
"It's almost done. It won't be a big problem if I take the medicine back and take it then."
After hearing Su Ying say this, Jiang Yang was completely relieved.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Jiang Yang finished talking to Su Ying before looking at Xiao Jin, "I have something to report to the emperor."
Su Ying let go of Xiao Jin's hand and said, "I'll go back first, otherwise the children will have to wait for a long time."
Xiao Jin nodded, "Well, no need to 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.
"Mom, where have you been?" Erbao trotted out and asked Su Ying while holding her hand.
"Mother has gone to your father's place. Are you hungry? If you are, ask them to bring us lunch."
Dabao glanced behind Su Ying and asked, "Daddy hasn't come back yet?"
"Well, it may be later. You will have a lunch break soon. Eat first. Then you can have a good sleep. Otherwise, you will not have the energy to attend classes in the afternoon."
"I know."
"Your Majesty is not feeling well today. After you have eaten, go lie down on the bed with the eldest prince and the others. Don't run around." Mother Zhao came over with a clean wet towel to wipe their hands.
Su Ying frowned and said, "Didn't I tell you to have a good rest, Mother Zhao? Why are you out again?"
Mother Zhao smiled gently, "I feel uncomfortable if I don't see the eldest prince and the little princess for a day. I don't feel unwell. I have taken the medicine prescribed by the queen on time, so I will be fine."
"Then don't tire yourself out, and don't lift anything heavy."
"Yes, I will remember to do some easy work and go back to rest when I am tired. I want to live a few more years to watch the eldest prince and his family grow up."
"Mother Zhao not only watched them grow up, but also saw them get married and have children."
Mother Zhao smiled so much that the wrinkles on her face deepened. "Your Highness is right."
"After we have eaten, I will ask the embroiderers from the embroidery palace to come and measure the sizes of the empress and the eldest prince. Winter will come in a month or two, and the capital will get colder earlier. We need to prepare winter clothes first."
"good."
Su Ying took the two children to eat, but Xiao Jin didn't come back.
While the mother and her two children were sitting and chatting to digest their food, the embroiderer from the Embroidery Palace arrived.
Mother Zhao looked at the measurements taken by the embroiderer for Su Ying and said, "Your Highness, you have grown a little taller than last year."
Su Ying stretched out her hand and gestured at her head, but she couldn't figure out what was going on. She didn't know whether she had grown taller or not. Anyway, in front of Xiao Jin, she always looked like a dwarf.
"Ling'er and Ji'er have really grown a lot taller."
Especially Ji'er, with her back straight, she already has a bit of imperial aura.
