Qiao Jinniang Glanced at Lu Chen and said, “The outside world is saying that the Qiao family is the only one in power. His Majesty will one day settle the Qiao family for their outstanding contributions. I originally thought that father shouldn’t be like this. However, I heard that father intends to let Qian Yin marry Fu an.. “Moreover, in terms of contributions and rewards, father and brother’s contribution to defeating the northern desert isn’t low. However, father only gave third uncle the position of commander-in-chief. Do you think father is really afraid of our Qiao Family?” Lu Chen said, “Marquis an Yuan’s title was passed down from his ancestors. Although Duke is higher than Marquis, it is the same when it comes to titles. “Qiao Lu is young and is the son-in-law of the princess’only daughter. He is also the younger brother of the Crown Princess. He still has a long way to go in the future. It would be inappropriate for him to be rewarded now. “If he is really afraid, the position of commander-in-chief will not be given to the Qiao family.” Qiao Jinniang leaned on Lu Chen’s shoulder and said, “Then are you afraid that I’ll have exclusive power over my relatives? The Qiao family’s power is at its peak. Are you willing to be suppressed by me?” “Even without the Qiao family’s power, haven’t I already been suppressed by You?” Lu Chen placed his hand on Qiao Jinniang’s stomach and said, “Don’t let your imagination run wild.” Qiao jinniang replied, “Oh!” .. After the reward, those who left Chang ‘an were dealt with one by one. For a time, Chang ‘an returned to its usual lively state. The vassal state of Xiliang, which had surrendered, came to Chang ‘an to pay tribute. The marriage of the Young County Prince Rong was also approaching. For this reason, a group of officials in the imperial court proposed to let the Crown Prince take in an imperial concubine. After all, the empress dowager was not very satisfied with the Crown Prince’s Imperial Concubine on her deathbed. Moreover, the Crown Prince’s imperial concubine had been in the Eastern Palace for more than a year. It was too little to say that there was only one crown prince’s consort in the Eastern Palace. Now that the Crown Prince’s consort was pregnant, she could legitimately enter the Eastern Palace. The Hui Lin Emperor sent all the official memorials to the Eastern Palace. Lu Chen flipped through one of the memorials to urge his consort to take in a consort. He flipped through another to urge his consort to take in a consort. He closed the memorials. Qiao Jinniang entered the study and saw that Lu Chen’s expression was extremely bad, she picked up the memorials he threw aside and looked at them. “Are these officials too idle? I’m still pregnant, so they advised you to take in a concubine…” “This memorials was actually written by Lin Xiang!” Qiao Jinniang placed the memorials on the table and looked at Lu Chen. “You won’t compromise to take in a concubine, right?” Lu Chen smiled. “How could I not keep my promise? Don’t worry, in a few days, no one will dare to come to this memorials again.” Qiao Jinniang asked Lu Chen curiously, “Are you going to take care of these officials? Lin Xiang and the others are also great Tang’s pillars…” Lu Chen only let Qiao Jinniang relax. A few days later, Xie Yun came from Jiangnan to report to the Hui Lin Emperor about the collusion between the second branch of the Xie family and the king of Huai. He also came to the Hui Lin Emperor and surrendered, moving all the Xie family’s ancient books to Chang ‘an. Most of these ancient books were bamboo slips. When the academies heard about it, they all dared to come to Chang ‘an to see these ancient books. In the diligent administration hall, the Hui Lin Emperor dismissed everyone, leaving only Xie Yun and Lu Chen. Seeing Xie Yun take off her female clothes and change into men’s clothes, he said, “I should have thought of it long ago. With your ability, you won’t be a woman.” Xie Yun bowed her head and said, “Your Majesty, Please Punish Me for committing the crime of deceiving the Emperor!” The Hui Lin Emperor said, “Since you are willing to give the Xie family’s 1,000-year-old collection of books to the imperial court, I will let this crime go. In the future, you should keep your word. However, you can not continue living as Xie Yun.” Xie Yun kowtowed and replied, “Yes, your Majesty.” After Xie Yun changed into women’s clothes and left. The Hui Lin Emperor looked at the books in the Hall of diligent administration and said to Lu Chen, “It was not easy for you to persuade the Xie family to bring these ancient books to Chang ‘an. However, I’m afraid that these ancient books will not be able to be put down in the imperial palace. Do you have any ideas?” Lu Chen cupped his hands and said, “I think we can let the Imperial Academy compile these ancient books and send them to the bookstore to be printed or copied by the various academies. After that, we can return the rare and rare ancient books to the Xie family. Some of the ancient books are left in the imperial palace. Those that are not rare, why don’t we divide them equally among the various academies of Great Tang? What do you think, Father?” The Hui Lindi nodded in agreement and said, “However, splitting them equally among the great Tang academies is not an easy task. The Imperial College and the Qingming Academy will not be able to determine who will get the first copy. Those ancient books that are not rare will easily cause trouble for whichever academy collects them. You need to consider carefully.” Lu Chen cupped his hands in agreement and said, “I understand.” The Hui Lindi then said to Lu Chen, “I heard that you caught a few troublemakers on the street two days ago?” Lu Chen replied, “Their words were very disrespectful to the imperial concubine.” The Hui Lin Emperor stared at Lu Chen and said, “Have you seen the memorials I gave you? Prime Minister Lin and the others have all submitted their memorials. The crown princess is pregnant and there are no more concubines in the Eastern Palace. It is indeed very inappropriate…” Lu Chen said, “I will take care of this matter. Father, rest assured that no one will dare to use memorials to annoy you in the future.” The Hui Lin emperor sneered, “I am not afraid of being annoyed. You should have been someone else’s son-in-law back then. Do you think a crown prince is so afraid of the Crown Princess?” “You are an emperor. Why are you afraid of Mother?”Lu Chen retorted. The Hui Lin Emperor:”…” He really had nothing to say. Lu Chen left the administrative hall and called Xie Yun to the East Palace to discuss matters. At noon, Lu Chen ordered someone to invite Qiao Jinniang. Xie Yun saw Qiao Jinniang’s smiling face and knew that she was still living well. She could not tell if she was regretting or rejoicing. “Your subject greets the Crown Princess Consort.” After Qiao Jinniang sat down, she smiled slowly at Xie Yun and said, “Congratulations to young master Xie for holding such great power. I remember that you are a little older than the crown prince. Since you have already established your career, do you have any plans to start a Family?” Xie Yun cupped his hands and said, “It was once difficult to find a suitable candidate to start a family.” Lu Chen frowned. Where did he come from? Qiao jinniang said, “I have a suitable candidate for you. She is the eldest daughter of the Wu royal family. She has known you since childhood and you know her character. She is usually quick-witted and lively.” When Xie Yun heard this.., her eyes dimmed as she said, “It is not that I look down on glutinous rice for being born as a servant girl. It is just that she has a lively personality. She really should not enter the Xie family. There are many rules in the Xie family and it is not something she can stand.” Qiao Jinniang did not force her upon hearing this. She only asked, “Then, does your Xie family have any good men? It is best if they can protect glutinous rice.” Xie Yun said, “There is a younger brother in the family. When we return to Lin ‘an, I will discuss the marriage with the king of Wu.” Qiao jinniang said, “That is possible, but the most important thing is glutinous Rice’s intentions.” Xie Yun replied, “That is only natural. Just as you said, I watched glutinous rice grow up. I also treat her like a younger sister.”
