Chapter 390 - the Grand Finale (Part One)
Chapter 390: Chapter 390, the Grand Finale (Part One)
Qiao Jinniang did not deliberately not want to go back. It was just that she had dreamed for too long that day, which reminded her of what Lu Chen had said about coming to Lin ‘an to take her to Chang ‘an.
Lu Chen still owed her this promise.
Qiao Jinniang knew that she had asked Lu Chen, the emperor, to come to Lin ‘an again. It was quite excessive, and she did not understand the big picture at all. She might even be called the demon queen, but she wanted to be so willful for once.
He wanted Lu Chen to personally come and take her back to Chang ‘an. This was the promise he had made to her that day.
..
In Chang ‘an, after Lu Chen received Qiao Jin’s reply, he crumpled the letter into a ball and asked someone to call Lu XI and Lu ang over.
Lu Chen said to Lu ang, “Do You Miss Your Mother? Why Don’t you write a letter to your mother and tell your mother that you miss her very much?”
Lu Ang raised his head and said to Lu Chen, “Father, but I can’t write yet.”
Lu Chen looked at Lu Xi, who could already write. Lu Xi shook her little head helplessly. “Father, have you forgotten what you promised mother when you brought me to Chang ‘an?”
Lu Chen remembered that he had said at that time that he would go to Lin ‘an to pick up Lady Qiao Jin. In fact, he still owed Lady Qiao Jin this promise.
Lu Chen called Marquis an Yuan and Lin Mo over and ordered them to temporarily manage the matters of the imperial court. He then ordered people to prepare the boat to Lin ‘an.
Marquis an Yuan learned from Lin Mo that the reason why the Emperor had put aside the matters of the imperial court and left Chang ‘an was to pick up Qiao Jinniang and return to Chang ‘an. He could not help but feel that Lu Chen’s friendship with his daughter was really extraordinary.
All the considerations in the past were unnecessary.
When the officials learned that His Majesty had gone to Lin ‘an to pick up the empress, they were already used to it.
When she left Lin ‘an, the Empress did not follow his majesty. Many officials thought that his majesty would favor others on the way, but none of them did.
Over the past few years, the officials also understood that what his Majesty said about not taking in concubines was true.
They couldn’t stop it no matter how much they tried, so what could they do?
They could only praise the emperor and the Empress’s deep love for each other.
All of a sudden, all the three-year-old girls in Chang ‘an knew about the emperor and the Empress’s deep love for each other. Some scholars from Jiangnan dug out the story of the flowers on the moshang flower returning slowly to set off Lu Chen.
Back then, the emperor of Wu Yue only wrote letters and returned slowly. Our Emperor personally went to pick up the Empress!
When Fu Lu heard the praises of the scholars in the teahouse, he no longer thought that Lady Qiao was the demon Empress. He thought that his ears were broken.
After being scolded for bewitching the Emperor and the demon Empress for so many years, Lady Qiao had done it this time. Even Fu Lu felt that Lady Qiao had gone too far. She could have come back on her own, but Lu Chen had to fetch her.
Lady Qiao was not one of those pampered girls. Why did Lu Chen have to put aside his affairs to fetch her?
“Qin Miaomiao, is my ear broken? I’m used to people saying that our Qiao family is a treacherous minister in power. Why are they praising the Empress’affection now?”
Qin Miaomiao chuckled. “Your ears aren’t broken. Xie Yun often comes and goes to the Qiao residence. Now that everyone knows that Nichang is his biological daughter, tell me, who dares to oppose your Qiao Family?”
“In the past, the Qiao family only had generals and no civil officials. Although Ruo Yi was a civil official, she was a woman. Those sour scholars naturally looked down on the Qiao family. The scholars were even more displeased with the Qiao family. But who is Xie Yun? He is the Xie family head who has always been a scholar in the world.”
Fu Lu,”… Xie Yun is not completely useless.”
Qin miaomiao said, “Also, His Majesty has been touring Jiangnan for two months and disdained so many peerless beauties. It can be seen that they have already given up. Why must they continue to go against the Qiao family and the Empress? The crown prince is already nine years old. If they still do not know how to adapt to the situation, they will really be stupid from studying.”
Qin miaomiao continued, “Now, the southwest and northwest are the Qiao family’s armies. Qiao Ruoyun married the king of Wu in Jiangnan. Qiao Ruofeng and his wife were highly valued by the retired emperor and have made great achievements in the south of the ridge.
Qiao Ruoyi is the Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Appointments. There are also women from the West Mountain Academy who have now entered various professions in Chang ‘an.
The women from the West Mountain Academy are all grateful to the empress. Naturally, the Empress’s power and influence can not be compared to the past.
A wise man submits to circumstances. Who would be so blind as to oppose the Queen?”
Fu Lu deeply feel reasonable: “Yes, I heard that Yesterday Mrs. Lin said a few Jinniang Lin Xiangye to the rest? So Old?”
Qin Wu Wu said in a small voice, “Princess Jing Hua hasn’t been pregnant yet. It’s been five years, and Mrs. Lin is very anxious. She felt that Princess Lin Mo Shang was helped by Lady Qiao. So she said a few nasty words to the Empress.”.
“Didn’t prime minister Lin propose to divorce her in a moment of desperation?”
Fu Lu said, “Madam Lin really deserved it. If it weren’t for her stopping them back then, perhaps cousin Jinhua and Lin Mo’s children would be even older than Xi’er.”
Yue Zhan and Qiao Lui walked over side by side. Yue Zhan was ten years older than Qiao Lui, but they felt like old friends at first sight. They were now colleagues.
The two of them walked in front of their wives.
Fu Lu saw Qiao Lui coming over and pulled Qiao Lui’s hand, ignoring the presence of outsiders.
Qin Miaomiao also held Yue Zhan’s hand, but she still had to use her sleeve to cover her face.
Yue Zhan Protected Qin Miaomiao’s stomach and said, “Did Princess Fu Lu call you out? Don’t come out and walk around when you’re in Labor.”
Qiao lui protected Fu Lu and said, “Maybe it was madam Yue who asked Fu Lu to come out? Lord Yue, don’t blame others.”
The brotherly love at first sight was so short that it broke up.
Qin Miaomiao and Fu Lu looked at each other and smiled. They had quarreled for so many years. In the end, it was their husbands who quarreled.
They each persuaded their husbands to go back.
..
At the end of July, the little flowers on the Moshang River were still blooming and had not withered.
When Qiao Jinniang had nothing to do, she would go back to the Hundred Savory restaurant. The palace maids stopped her from cooking, and Qiao Jinniang would only settle the accounts in the restaurant.
Those who came were all neighbors. At first, they all bowed to Qiao Jinniang, but as time went on, it seemed that they had returned to ten years ago.
At that time, Qiao Jinniang was the same.
Tofu Zhang brought Qiao jinniang a cup of soybean milk every day. After Qiao Jinniang became pregnant, she changed her taste of salty soybean milk and fell in love with the taste of sweet soybean milk. She became more and more convinced that the one in her arms was her daughter.
She even thought of her daughter’s nickname, Tian Tian.
“Jinniang, do you still remember me?”Sister Zhang came over with a bowl of sweet soybean milk and said, “I married into Qian City earlier. I came back to visit my parents before the mid-autumn Festival, only to find out that you came back after becoming the Empress.”
“Zhang Jinniang,”Qiao Jinniang said.
Zhang Jinniang said, “Jin Niang, when I taught you to suppress his majesty, you must not tell his majesty about it. Otherwise, my head will be lost.”
Zhang Jinniang was naturally extremely afraid. If she had known Lu Chen’s identity back then, she would not have given Qiao Jinniang that bad idea no matter what.
Qiao Jinniang smiled. “It’s over. On the day of our wedding, I told His Majesty that you were the one who instigated me.”
“Ah!”The elder sister of the Zhang family touched her neck and said, “Oh No, oh no. Jinniang, you have to save me. I have an eighty-year-old father and a three-year-old child.”
Qiao jinniang said, “Don’t worry. His Majesty is very magnanimous. He will definitely not find trouble with you.”
Qiao Jinniang looked outside the door of the Hundred Savory restaurant. It was almost mid-autumn Festival. Did Lu Chen not understand what she meant?
Or perhaps he felt that she was too troublesome, so he did not want to come?
