Chapter 391: Chapter 391, the Grand Finale (middle)
Just as Qiao Jinniang was about to look away, she saw a man wearing a purple robe with a silver mask on his face.
Qiao Jinniang recognized the mask. It was the one Lu Chen was wearing when she, Lu Chen, and brother Tuan were playing on the day of the Lantern Festival.
Lu Chen walked in, took off the mask, and walked to Qiao Jinniang. He said slowly, “Jin ‘er, I’m here to take you back to Chang ‘an.”
Qiao Jinniang came out of the counter and walked to Lu Chen, holding his hand tightly.
Lu Chen looked down at her abdomen. “Did the child mess with you?”
Qiao Jinniang shook her head. “No.”
Lu Chen held Qiao Jinniang’s hand and said, “Let’s go back to Chang ‘an. I’ve ordered people to prepare the guards of Honor.”
Qiao Jinniang followed Lu Chen Out and saw that the guards of honor outside seemed to be less than the Empress’Guards of honor, like the Guards of honor of the crown prince’s consort.
Lu Chen whispered in Qiao Jinniang’s ear, “The Guards of Honor owe you.”
Qiao Jinniang smiled faintly. “So you still remember.”
Lu Chen said, “Of course I remember.”
Little Lu Ang, who had come along, said, “It was clearly brother who reminded father.”
Qiao Jinniang squatted down slightly and kissed little Lu Ang’s face. “Fortunately, Mother has you and your brother.”
Lu Chen helped Qiao Jinniang up with a sour expression. After bringing her into the carriage, he put down the veil and kissed the lips that he had missed for a long time.
The people outside were in a hubbub.
Qiao Jinniang didn’t Push Lu Chen away because she was shy. After the kiss, she whispered into his ear, “Brother Chen, I miss you so much.”
Lu Chen held her in his arms and said, “I miss you too. These few days when I opened the memorials, you were everywhere. You Can’t be so willful in the future.”
Qiao jinniang said, “What if I have to be so willful?”
“Then I’ll accompany you to be willful!”
..
In the first month of the sixth year of Jing Yuan, the little princess, whom everyone had been looking forward to for a long time, was finally born.
When the Little Princess was born, she was given the name Weiyang. Her title was also the same, Princess Weiyang.
The palace in Chang ‘an during the Han dynasty was Weiyang Palace. The word Weiyang was extremely honorable and had the intention to live a long and peaceful life. For a time, everyone in Chang ‘an said that they were reincarnated as Lu Weiyang.
The Empress was overjoyed. She gave the four seas a year of tax exemption and granted amnesty to the whole world. The Empress even opened a new West Mountain Academy in all the prefectures of Datang, which was specially for women.
For a time, all the people in the world were grateful to Princess Weiyang.
Since Lu Weiyang was born, she had been the most honorable princess in Datang Dynasty.
When she was young, her mother, father, and two brothers would give her whatever she wanted.
When Lu Weiyang was six years old, Aunt Jinghua, who had never had a child, finally had a child. She followed her mother out of the palace and went to Aunt Jinghua’s residence.
When her mother went to visit Aunt Jinghua, she saw cousin Nihon asking her to go over. Lu Weiyang saw a man who was more beautiful than the other.
Although her father, two older brothers, uncle, and grandfather were all very good-looking, after looking at them for a long time, the men in Aunt Jinghua’s residence were also very good-looking.
Qiao Nihong said to Lu Weiyang, “My mother said that these are the princes’male pets. Princess da Tang can have dozens of them in the future.”
Lu Weiyang took out a small abacus. “Raising so many male pets should cost a lot of money, right?”
Qiao nihong: “You are a princess, why are you still so greedy?”
Lu Weiyang calculated that her monthly expenses were not low. If she raised dozens more..
Lu Weiyang shook his head repeatedly. “In the future, I only need one son-in-law. It’s best if I can save some money. I definitely won’t raise so many male pets.”
Qiao Nihong did not know why Lu Weiyang loved money so much, but after that, Qiao Nihong never saw this princess cousin again.
It was said that she had followed the retired emperor and the Empress Dowager to Lingnan. When she saw that everything in Lingnan was cheaper than Chang ‘an, she followed her grandparents to Lingnan.
When Qiao Jinniang found out that her daughter had gone to Lingnan for this reason, she didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
After Weiyang decided to stay in Lingnan, when the first letter came back, Lu Chen and Lu Xi didn’t dare to let Qiao Jinniang see it. They were afraid that Qiao Jinniang would miss Lu Weiyang.
At night, Qiao Jinniang asked Lu Chen, “Did you get Weiyang’s letter?”
Lu Chen said, “Don’t read it. It’s hard to avoid looking sad and missing her.”
Qiao jinniang said, “I won’t be sad. If I were sad, I wouldn’t allow Weiyang to go to her mother’s side.
I don’t want Weiyang to be stuck in the walls of the palace.
Although she has two brothers who can be an extremely simple little princess in the future, and we can give her endless love and let her be carefree in Chang ‘an, I don’t want to be such a mother.
“I want my daughter to experience the beauty of this world and the customs of the world, not to be a model of a woman raised by a well-behaved nanny.”
“Weiyang Palace belongs to Chang ‘an, but our Weiyang should not only be in Chang ‘an.”
Lu Chen handed the letter to Qiao Jinniang. Qiao Jinniang opened it and looked at it. Weiyang no longer praised that things in Lingnan were cheap. Instead, she told her about the vast ocean in Lingnan and even drew a painting for Qiao Jinniang.
Although this painting skill was not inherited from her father, it was just like her painting skill.
Qiao jinniang smiled and said, “Should we invite a painting master for our daughter?”
Lu Chen said, “Father is an expert in painting. Now that he is old, he can teach Weiyang and enjoy the happiness of family.”
Qiao Jinniang saw that there was another letter inside. After opening it, it was actually the Hui Lin Emperor who scolded Lu Chen. He scolded Lu Chen for lying and praising Weiyang’s painting skill, causing Weiyang to feel that it was truly a good painting, it was just like what she had drawn.
Qiao Jinniang looked at the letter and chuckled. Qiao Jinniang was relieved that her daughter was able to follow the Hui Lin Emperor and Empress Dowager Zhou.
The Hui Lin Emperor only came to scold Lu Chen. It was clear that he also doted on this granddaughter of his.
Time slowly passed. When it was the 15th year of Jingyuan, Crown Prince Lu Xi was a weak crown prince. At this time, women already accounted for one-third of the Chang ‘an officials.
Xi Shan Academy in Chang ‘an was as famous as Qingming Academy.
The old officials all retired and left the court. The young officials became the mainstay of the current generation of officials. The new generation of officials also gradually emerged.
The younger generation of the Qiao family also began to show their talents. Qiao Ruofeng and Xu Mingwei’s son became the New South Sea General of Lingnan, repelling the rebellious people from the vassal states of glazed tile who came to cause trouble.
Qiao Nihong was well-versed in both literature and martial arts. She was also the future heir to the position of Duke of the Qin family. As soon as she reached marriageable age, she was asked by Duke of Qin to take the examination for achievement and fame.
Qiao Nihong also took the examination for achievement and fame with Qiao Nichang. Qiao Nichang had not reached marriageable age yet, but she was determined to be the top scorer of the Qiao family. She had to compete with her cousin.
Qiao Nihong also wanted to fight for her father who was only a playboy back then. She wanted to be the top scorer.
The two cousins spent their days studying.
However, the reality was that the two of them did not even make it onto the roll. They had no choice but to continue fighting for another three years.
After the three of them, the two of them were ranked at the top. One of them was the top scorer and the other was the top scorer. It was a humiliation from the past.
The crown prince’s two cousins were so capable that Lu Xi’s marriage was put on the agenda.
