Chapter 667: Three Heroes from One Family, Great Contributions

Lu Qiniang chatted with the Queen for a long time, and she felt that her waist was sore and her heart was tired after sitting on the soft cushions in the palace for too long.

Just as she was thinking about how to properly take her leave, a palace maid came in and announced, "Your Majesty, the Prince of Jin has come to pay his respects to you."

When Lu Qiniang heard this, she felt as if she had been pardoned. She quickly stood up and said, "Your Majesty, the Prince of Jin has arrived. I will take my leave now. If you feel bored next time, please send someone to call me to come and talk to you."

The Queen smiled and said, "Just sit down and do your thing. He's just a little boy, so it won't take him long to pay his respects. It's just as well that you haven't met my little son yet."

As he was speaking, Prince Jin came in.

He looked to be about six or seven years old. He wore a moon-white brocade robe with a silver cloud pattern on the edge, a small jade belt around his waist, and a small golden crown on his head. He looked mature beyond his age.

The Prince of Jin had obviously received excellent training. Upon entering, he bowed to the Queen and said, "Your son greets the Queen Mother. May the Queen Mother be blessed with good health."

"Get up quickly." The queen's voice was filled with kindness and smile.

"This is Xiao Yan's wife, and there are no outsiders here. Call her 'Auntie'."

Lu Qinniang didn't dare.

She had already stood up and saluted King Jin.

The Prince of Jin acted like a grown-up, "Madam, please don't be polite. Liu Yu greets his aunt."

Lu Qiniang praised him repeatedly, "Your Highness, with such appearance and bearing, really resembles the Emperor and the Empress."

She pulled out the jade pendant she had prepared long ago from her sleeve and handed it over. "It's just a little thing, Your Highness, please play with it."

The Prince of Jin thanked the Queen without any reminder and accepted the gift with both hands.

In terms of etiquette, it is truly impeccable.

Then he handed the jade pendant to the nurse behind him, went to sit down beside the queen's bed, and asked softly, "How are you feeling today, mother? Are you still feeling unwell?"

"I feel a little weak, but it's nothing serious."

The queen asked him a few more questions about his studies and urged him not to neglect them.

"You will be assisting Big Brother in the future, so you can't be uneducated, understand?"

Prince Jin nodded obediently.

"Okay, go ahead. Mother is happy today. Talk to your aunt for a while."

The King of Jin politely bowed and took his leave.

The Queen looked at his back with a loving look in her eyes, "Yu'er is much less of a worry now than when he was the Crown Prince."

Lu Qin's mother thought to herself, you gave birth to them, you raised them, so whether they are good or not, they are all yours.

However, she could feel that the Queen clearly favored Prince Jin.

On second thought, younger children are always more likable, which is probably human nature.

I just hope that the queen will not be confused in the future. The title of crown prince has been decided, and the world will eventually belong to Liu Jian.

If the Queen favors Prince Jin, there might be trouble in the future.

If the queen gives birth to another son this time...it would be even more lively.

In the past few years, Lu Qiniang has also read some history books superficially.

She felt that unless Liu Jian could stand up, he would actually have no advantage.

Because he is the emperor's first child and is not much older than the emperor.

It is inevitable that a crown prince will make mistakes after being in the position for too long.

As his younger brothers grew up, he made more mistakes and became more hateful.

In particular, he might make the emperor feel threatened.

How many emperors eventually passed the throne to their grandson's son who was older than their grandson...

Hey, with all these messed up things, the queen is still worried about wanting to marry her daughter to the prince?

She really thinks too much.

The Queen discussed the future arrangements with Lu Qiniang.

"I plan to keep Zhao Zhao by my side. Even if you don't want to, I will force you to stay. I really like her too much." The queen praised Daya generously.

Lu Qiniang smiled and said, "It is her blessing to be liked by the Empress."

"Zhuozhuo is waiting for the imperial edict." The Queen smiled, "The Emperor intends to make her a county lady and then arrange a marriage between her and Yun Ting."

"The Emperor's grace is immense, and double happiness has arrived." Lu Qiniang said happily, "This way, Erya's marriage will be more respectable. It's all thanks to the Emperor and the Empress's thoughtfulness."

"This is what she deserves. The Emperor often told me that no one who follows him should be wronged."

"As for Jiaojiao," the Queen continued with a gentle smile, "since she is determined to follow in her father's footsteps, then let her do so."

"On behalf of the three sisters, I would like to thank the Queen." Lu Qiniang stood up and saluted.

"Look at you," the Queen scolded, "you're so polite. Let me tell you secretly about the Emperor's arrangements. See if you're satisfied. If not, we can discuss it before the imperial edict is issued."

"How can that be?" Lu Qiniang hurriedly declined. "The Emperor and the Empress naturally give the best. If I were to be picky, what would that mean?"

"Listen to me first."

The queen explained them one by one.

"As for Zhao Zhao, I admit that I favor her. I intend to make her the Zhaowen Secretary and Imperial Assistant, and also give her the title of Madam Qinghui."

"Good boy, she takes up so much by herself." Lu Qiniang said, "My queen, no need."

This is going to tire Daya to death.

The Empress said, "The title of Zhaowen Sicheng is to encourage her to continue promoting women's academies. I hope that women's academies will flourish everywhere in the future. The title of Yuqian Zanyi is to accompany me and help me with some things. As for Madam Qinghui, it's just an empty title. Letting her go out with fewer formalities and receive an additional salary is the most practical."

Although Lu Qiniang knew that the Queen was very cunning, she couldn't help but sigh in her heart when she heard her thoughtful arrangement.

This queen really doesn't live for free.

"If Zhuozhuo says so, confer her the title of Fushang County Lady. The empire has just been stabilized, and the treasury is empty. I don't like the idea of ​​emphasizing agriculture over commerce. As long as the people can live and work in peace and contentment, and the treasury is full, whatever I do is excellent."

Lu Qiniang nodded and thought to herself, things from the royal family are not given for free.

Giving a title also requires sending a signal to tell the world that it is time to start promoting and supporting business.

She admitted that she was not smart enough.

"Jiaojiao inherited her father's legacy, and she's as capable as any man. The Emperor racked his brains to come up with a title for her. He wasn't entirely satisfied with any of the ones presented, insisting that everyone must know she's Xiao Yan's daughter..."

The Queen covered her lips and smiled, "Speaking of which, the Emperor is very attentive to Xiao Yan. If he were a woman, I would be jealous."

"If he were a woman and stole the emperor; then you would be a man and I would marry you, that would be perfect." Lu Qiniang joked.

"That would be great." The queen laughed heartily.

"I told the Emperor that since the daughter is inheriting her father's legacy, the title of General Po Lu should be given to Jiao Jiao."

Lu Qiniang became a little excited when she heard this, "Thank you, Your Majesty, thank you, Your Majesty."

She was also very happy.

If Xiao Yan knew this, he would definitely be happy.

San Ya is the most suitable heir in his mind.

"Zhao Wen enlightened people, supported the business community and prospered the country, defeated the invaders and brought peace to the nation. Three heroes from one family, all in civil, military and business, jointly supporting the country. Qi Niang, as their mother, you have made great contributions. You raised three good daughters." The queen praised him generously.
