Chapter 338: Get married sooner rather than later

No matter how much you reason with someone who won't make sense, it will be useless.

Because she won't listen, but instead sticks to her own thoughts.

Emperor Minghe picked up the wine glass, took a sip, and didn't want to talk anymore.

The Queen Mother continued, "Emperor, didn't you listen to my advice before? Don't you think my idea is correct?"

Emperor Minghe thought of the past and shook his head.

"At that time, I was busy with state affairs and was already very tired, but I also had to take care of the affairs in the backyard."

"Mother, I was just tired at that time and didn't want to argue with you."

Queen Mother: “But——”

Emperor Minghe: "Mother, today is New Year's Day, let's talk about something happy. Otherwise, you may be unhappy for the whole year."

Queen Mother: “…”

Perhaps she was angry, and the Queen Mother didn't say anything else.

Even before the banquet was over, he said he had a headache and went home early.

The rest is going to go smoothly.

After the lunch, Qin Jingyu, his wife and daughter said goodbye to Emperor Minghe and Concubine Rou.

"Father, Mother, I will go home first. We will come to the palace to wish you a happy new year tomorrow morning."

Ming Hedi nodded and said, "Don't come too early tomorrow. Maybe we are all too young to get up."

Qin Jingyu: “Yes.”

Concubine Rou touched Xiao Xiyao's face reluctantly.

This girl doesn't care about anything and has fallen into a deep sleep.

When Concubine Rou thought that the Queen Mother had feelings for this little girl, she became very worried.

Even though she liked this little granddaughter very much, she still whispered to Lin Qingning:

"It's too cold today, don't bother Yaoyao. What if she catches a cold and gets sick? Come to the palace tomorrow, just the two of you."

Lin Qingning readily agreed, "Yes, mother."

After bidding farewell to the emperor and his concubine, Qin Jingyu and his family of three left the palace.

When he got on the carriage, Qin Jingyu's face darkened.

"My grandmother took care of my father because she had just lost her daughter. I want my father to remember her kindness for the rest of his life."

"Later, she prayed for Da Chu, and this achievement allowed her to make decisions about my life."

"But Qing Ning, remember, if it really comes to the last resort, you can disobey her, and I will bear all the consequences."

Qin Jingyu was filled with anger when he thought about how the Queen Mother had asked Qing Ning to send Yaoyao to the Cining Palace to be raised while he was away.

Lin Qingning nodded: "No matter what, she has a history of strangling her own daughter to death. I will never hand Yaoyao over to her even if I die."

"Even if it means talking back to her or disobeying her."

Only when the elders are kind will their children and grandchildren be filial.

Lin Qingning is not a gentle person, and after going through so many things, she will be even less so.

She leaned in Qin Jingyu's arms.

"As long as you are on our side, we will never be wronged."

Qin Jingyu put his arm around her shoulders and held both her and their sleeping daughter in his arms.

Cining Palace.

The Queen Mother suddenly pulled the Buddhist beads in her hand with force.

With a rustling sound, the beads bounced a few times on the ground, making crackling sounds.

"Empress Dowager, please calm down!" Sun Fuhai and other palace servants quickly knelt down.

The Queen Mother sighed softly, "Sun Fuhai, do you think I am old and useless, so they don't listen to me anymore?"

Sun Fuhai: "Queen Mother, this may be a misunderstanding."

The Queen Mother: "What misunderstanding could there be?"

"It's OK with Jing Yu. He is still young, and he didn't grow up in the palace. I can understand that he is not filial to me."

"But how can the emperor say this about me?"

"You know, in order to raise him and send him to the throne, I even sacrificed my own daughter..."

Sun Fuhai interrupted her quickly, "Empress Dowager!"

The Queen Mother held her forehead with her hand and said, "Forget it. They are so angry that they are confused. Why bring up the past?"

Sun Fuhai was terrified.

It's really that the Queen Mother's mood has fluctuated too much today.

After a long while, just when Sun Fuhai thought the Queen Mother had figured it out, she suddenly spoke:

"No matter who comes tomorrow, I will not see them."

"Tell everyone that I miss Princess Jinse so much that I'm sick."

Sun Fuhai: “…Yes.”

At this time in Qiulu Palace, Concubine Rou was massaging Emperor Minghe's shoulders.

Today is New Year's Day, and Concubine Rou had planned to visit Concubine Jin, and then close the door of Qiulu Palace and gather with the other palace people.

In fact, she wanted to go to Jingyu's house more. Tonight was New Year's Eve, and their house must be very lively.

However, it was difficult for a concubine to leave the palace on normal days, let alone on New Year's Eve.

She had to settle for the next best thing.

But who would have thought that Emperor Minghe was in a bad mood and actually came to Qiulu Palace after the annual banquet.

Of the several options, accompanying Emperor Minghe to celebrate the New Year was the one that Concubine Rou was least interested in.

But I just can't show it.

Emperor Minghe was also frowning.

Why does the Queen Mother always compete with Jing Yu?

No, or rather, the Queen Mother is good in every way, but she doesn’t want some things to be out of her control.

She won't interfere in politics, but she will try hard to control things, otherwise she will feel insecure.

But it's ridiculous. She is already a queen mother with a noble status. Why would she be obsessed with these things?

Isn’t it good to take a rest, grow some flowers, and recite some scriptures when you have nothing to do?

Emperor Minghe was in a bad mood and didn't want to be alone, so he came to Concubine Rou.

As a result, when he turned his head, he found that Concubine Rou was also distracted.

I was massaging his shoulders, but ended up massaging his forearms instead, and she didn't notice.

Emperor Minghe: "Concubine Rou, what are you thinking about?"

Concubine Rou came back to her senses at this point, and seeing that she had pressed on Emperor Minghe's forearm, she quickly cried out.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me. I was distracted..."

Emperor Minghe patted her hands and said, "I know what you are thinking. Do you want to go to Jingyu's house?"

Concubine Rou said embarrassedly: "Your Majesty, I can't hide anything I think. Although I really want to go, I also know that it is not in accordance with etiquette, and it is New Year's Day."

Emperor Minghe: "This is the first year that we have known Jingyu. It is normal for you to have this thought, because I also feel that this palace is very boring and I also want to go."

Concubine Rou's eyes widened. "Your Majesty wants to go too?"

Emperor Minghe: "Then let's change into casual clothes. But if we go now, we will probably have to come back before dawn tomorrow. We still have to pay our respects to the Empress Dowager."

Concubine Rou: "Okay! I can stay awake all night!"

Emperor Minghe was really happy to see her, and all the bad emotions caused by the Empress Dowager today disappeared completely.

This is the good thing about Concubine Rou: she has a simple personality and says whatever she thinks.

Emperor Minghe would feel more at ease only when he was with her.

Qin Mansion.

Like an ordinary family's home, the Qin residence was decorated with lights and colorful decorations. There were some crooked words on the couplet with the word "Fu" on the door.

That was written by Mo Yu with a brush.

Su Ziyuan praised calmly, "Master Yu, you write really well!"

Kawagu next to him had a toothache. He looked at the cursive calligraphy, the couplet with flying radicals, and couldn't help but take a step back.

He couldn't do what Manager Su did and lie with his eyes open.

No wonder Manager Su can become the number one person in front of the prince.

Kawatani was so focused on backing away that he accidentally stepped on a piece of ice. His body slipped and he was about to fall on his face.

Suddenly, a small hand grabbed his waist and lifted him up sideways, weighing more than 130 pounds!

Chuan Gu raised his head and looked at Banxia's small face, which was as big as her palm, and was completely stunned.

Banxia: "Chuan Gu, are you okay?"

Chuan Gu's face instantly turned red, and he stammered, "Xiao Banxia, ​​you, you put me down quickly!"

Banxia: “Are you sure?”

Kawatani noticed that everyone else was looking at him, and he felt even more embarrassed.

He immediately said, "Yes!"

Banxia let go.

With a bang, Kawatani fell on his butt.

"ah!"

"Hahahahahahaha!" Zhufeng and others around him laughed so hard that their stomachs hurt.

Banxia also raised the corner of her mouth slightly.

Kawatani, who was sitting on the ground with his butt broken in half, was infected by everyone laughing and started laughing too.

The laughter and joyful chatter gently shook the snow off the branches, as if echoing their joy.

Doctor Bai saw this scene, he stroked his beard and said with emotion:

“This is what it feels like to be at home.”

Bai Lansheng nodded and said, "Yes, the atmosphere in the Qingning family is very good, from the master to the servants."

Doctor Bai turned his head and looked at him, "Looking at the atmosphere here, you really don't envy them and don't plan to get married and have children?"

It's the same old cliché again.

Bai Lansheng immediately pulled Wei Qingxu who was next to him over.

"Uncle, don't you know? After the New Year, Shu He will talk to Qing Xu about finding a wife."

Sure enough, the topic and pain are both easy to change.

Seeing Doctor Bai looking at him, Wei Qingxu was suddenly overwhelmed.

"I've told my sister about this. There's no rush. I'm not even twenty yet."

"A man should establish a career first and then start a family!"

Doctor Bai looked at Bai Lansheng meaningfully and said, "Don't learn from him. He's old now and no girl wants him anymore!"

"Get married as soon as possible!"

Wei Qingxu didn't know whether to laugh or cry. How could one persuade others in such a way?

He turned around and glared at Bai Lansheng, but the other party had already turned around and left.

Just at this moment, the doorman in front sent a message saying that the prince and princess had returned.

Naturally, everyone went out to greet them.

After Aunt Chen passed the message, she also followed out.

But halfway through, I saw a man standing in the yard, looking in one direction.

If she remembered correctly, that direction was the former Duke Qin's Mansion, which is now the Marquis Ping'an Mansion.

A very unlucky direction.

But the other party was a guest after all, so Aunt Chen stepped forward and reminded him:

"Master Chen, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and his men are back."

Chen Shu suddenly asked, "Whose house is that direction?"

Aunt Chen: "To reply to your Excellency, that direction is the Ping An Marquis Mansion."

Statement: "Why is there smoke over there?"

Aunt Chen: “What?”
