Chapter 213 Choosing a Wife
Wu Yongda shook off the water stains on his hands, turned around and looked at Shu Jiu, "Did you find the person who guessed most of the anagrams on the Lantern Festival?"

"I found it. The scholar's name is Zeng Tianyou. He came from a remote place in the north of the Yangtze River. He is currently staying at the Laifu Inn."

"Laifu Inn?" Wu Yongda frowned, "Why haven't I heard of it?"

Shu Jiu: "It was only opened in the past two months. It's not even an inn. It just has a place to sleep. It's cheap and doesn't cost too much money."

Wu Yongda's eyes lit up suddenly, "Lack of money...that's easy to handle."

He thought for a while, and told Shu Jiu, "Tomorrow, you bring 20 taels of silver to him. If he doesn't accept it, just say that to ensure that the reference students have a good rest, the court asked him to change to a better inn."

"My subordinate understands."

Talent, first come gets.

Wu Yongda raised the corners of his mouth, after a few days of gloom, there was finally something that made him happy.

After assessing the weather, he asked Shu Jiu to take an umbrella, stepped into the rain curtain, and strode towards the palace.

The Jiaolan Palace, where the lights had long been turned off in the past, was now brightly lit. Concubine Shu lay on the soft couch, yawned, and was so sleepy that her eyes were full of tears.

After returning from Jingshan Temple, Emperor Zhao ignored her for more than half a month, and finally calmed down a few days ago, and called her to sleep with her again.

But today Emperor Zhao lost his temper again, not to her, but to Ling Cheng.

Ling Cheng was playful and didn't finish the homework assigned by his master. Emperor Zhao faltered and couldn't answer the random check. He was so angry that he directly threw the book on Ling Cheng, so that he couldn't finish memorizing it and was not allowed to sleep tonight.

Ling Cheng came to Jiaolan Hall to complain to her, but she didn't dare to intercede, so she could only suffer with him.

Concubine Shu was so sleepy that her upper and lower eyelids were battling, and even Qing Zhi who came in a hurry was seen by her as a double image.

"Your Majesty," Qing Zhi leaned over and whispered to her, "Commander Wu is here, and he's outside the hall now."

In a word, Concubine Shu woke up immediately, rubbed her eyes, looked at Ling Cheng who was reciting the book with grinning teeth and rolling eyes, "Okay."

Ling Cheng stopped immediately, and looked at her eagerly, seeing Concubine Shu angry and funny.

"I really made you an enemy! It's already late at night, hurry back to your home, and I'll continue reciting tomorrow."

"call……"

Ling Cheng relaxed, and acted like a baby to Concubine Shu, "Concubine Mother, it's so late today, let my son live in Jiaolan Hall, I can sleep on the bed now. You see——"

He closed his eyes, and he was about to fall to the ground, so frightened Concubine Shu hurriedly asked someone to help him.

"Don't pretend here. I'm your mother and concubine, but I don't know what your temperament is? Your father might come over tomorrow morning. If you don't go back to the house, you're waiting for your back?"

Ling Cheng quickly shook his head and straightened his back, "No, no, I'd better go back home. Concubine Mu has worked hard tonight, so go to bed early!"

After finishing speaking, he didn't want to stay for a moment, so he called the maids and guards in the mansion to go out.

Wu Yongda hid in the dark, watched his back leave before stepping into Concubine Shu's bedroom.

Qingzhi backed out very sensiblely, and closed the door for the two of them.

Concubine Shu leaned directly on him, her eyes closed tightly, and she buried her head in his arms, "It's so late at night, why are you here?"

"It happens to be free, so come and have a look."

He helped Concubine Shu to the bed, "What's going on today?"

Concubine Shu followed his movements and sat on the bed. Knowing that he was asking about Ling Cheng, she briefly explained, "I didn't finish my homework, so I was punished by the emperor. By the way, the emperor mentioned it to me today. It's a matter of choosing a wife for a son."
