That night, Xia Jiang was also called back from the military camp. The family reunited and lived in the princess's mansion.
However, Xia Jinjun was alone in the empty room, and Xia Chen planned to sleep with her mother. The mother and daughter had not seen each other for so many years, so naturally they had a lot to talk about.
Xia Jinjun was very sensible, "It's my duty. Mother has missed you all these years, so it's only right that you spend more time with her."
He looked at his wife and was sincerely happy for her. "From now on, you will no longer be a maid of the Chen family, but Princess Chang Yue in the Princess's Mansion. They will surely love you very much. I hope you will always be happy."
"I want to stay with my mother for a while longer..."
"It should be." Xia Jinjun said: "Before I came, my mother also told me not to rush back. The third and fifth brothers are taking care of us at home, so we don't have to worry."
Xia Chen nodded, and she would be Chang Yue from now on.
"Mom also said that my current identity...if you want..."
"I don't want to!" Xia Chen shook her head. "I just hope that my family is well. Jinjun, since we are husband and wife, we will be together forever. No matter what you thought before, I know you treat me well now."
Xia Jinjun felt a little ashamed. He had not been a good person before, but he was trying his best to make up for it.
"To be honest, I actually had a dream."
"What dream?" Xia Jinjun thought she was just remembering her childhood.
"I dreamed that you and Miss Jiang got married."
Xia Jinjun's expression was stern, "How could it be?"
"Just listen to what I have to say."
Xia Jinjun did not interrupt.
"I dreamed that you two got married, and I was divorced. My family members were not doing well either, and most of them ended up in a miserable situation, including you. But fortunately, it was just a dream!"
Xia Jinjun smiled with a guilty conscience, "Yeah, it was all a dream. How could I do such a thing?"
"I also don't think you will, but I've thought about it. If you change your mind, I won't cling to you like in my dream. We can just live our own lives. I won't be any worse off. No matter what happens to you, it has nothing to do with me."
"Won't!"
Xia Chen smiled and said, "Fortunately, you didn't. Dreams are just dreams. The reality is that you treat me very well."
The next day, Princess Yi Yang brought six members of the Xia family into the palace, and Xia Chenshi completely returned to her normal state.
Emperor Shunde was also quite surprised, but what was even more surprised were the princes who rushed over after hearing the news. When they saw that it was Xia Zhiliao's family, their expressions varied.
Xia Zhiliao was also observing quietly to see who had the unusual reaction and who was secretly making trouble to prevent them from recognizing each other.
Unfortunately, the princes’ acting skills were so good that she really couldn’t see anything.
Only Wen Heng looked at her with relief, as if he thought this was a very normal thing.
"Your Majesty, Yue'er is a princess, but what about Zhiliao?" asked Princess Yiyang.
She would pay back everything she owed her daughter and children, and double it.
After thirty years of debt, although my daughter lives a happy life, if I had raised her by my side, she would definitely not have suffered those hardships.
"Of course it's the county lord." Emperor Shunde said.
For some reason, Xia Zhiliao felt that Emperor Shunde was not very happy. Instead, he was somewhat resistant to this drama of family recognition.
Is it because he is friends with Wen Heng and he is afraid that his grandmother will support Wen Heng?
Wen Chao's injury was almost healed. He looked at Xia Zhi with interest and said, "I didn't expect that you are our sister now."
A trace of obvious disdain flashed across Prince Wen Yu's face.
Wen Yan's eyes were full of tenderness. "It seems to be God's will. Zhiliao first cured the Imperial Grandmother, and then cured the Great Aunt. I didn't expect that they are actually family. No wonder they like her so much."
Xia Zhiliao did not intend to interrupt the princes when they were talking, for fear that he might say something wrong and be hated.
It’s better to pretend to be stupid.
Chang Yue regained her status and received many rewards. Originally, she was going to be given a mansion, but Chang Yue refused. She knew that these rewards were not really for her, but because of the great military exploits of her parents, and even her father's life.
She has been away from these things for too long, and what she wants is very simple.
And she wanted to spend more time with her mother, so she planned to stay with the princess and her mother.
Xia Zhiliao was a little reluctant about what her mother said, but she also felt that her mother was right. She didn't want others to think that they had to have everything given to them, which made them look cheap.
My grandfather’s contribution should not be used in this way, it should be used at the critical moment.
"You left in a hurry yesterday, so why not bring the children to have dinner in the palace today? This is a family dinner, so there's no need to be so reserved."
Xia Zhiliao and his mother were fine, after all, they had been to the palace. However, Xia Jinjun and his three sons felt a little uncomfortable.
"Is Yue'er's husband educated?"
"Yes, Your Majesty, I have studied."
The Queen Mother nodded and said, "Reading is good. Scholars understand things, have broad horizons, and bright minds. They also teach children well."
"Your Majesty, you are too kind." Xia Jinjun said with a stiff face. He really felt oppressed. If it was not difficult to refuse, he really didn't want to eat here. Going home and drinking millet porridge would be better than here.
"Why is there no science exam in studying?"
"I failed the test several times."
"You can't give up on that either."
"Yes." Xia Jinjun said. He didn't even have time to listen to what the empress dowager said. He just kept nodding, sweat pouring down his forehead.
Princess Yiyang loves her daughter, so naturally she loves her son-in-law too. "Sister-in-law, studying is not the only way out. As long as the children are happy, they can do whatever they want."
The Queen Mother smiled and glanced at her. "You're already protecting her. It seems like you're very satisfied with this son-in-law?"
"Of course. He is good to Yue'er and the children. Why should I be dissatisfied?" Princess Yi Yang said.
"Come to think of it, Yue'er was once engaged..."
[What's going on? My mother was engaged? What does the Queen Mother mean by this? Does she look down on my father?]
"That was all many years ago. Yue'er has a husband and a son now. It's better not to mention it, sister-in-law."
"Okay, I'm not a bad person, I'm just saying it." The Queen Mother smiled, "If Yue'er stays in the capital, I'm afraid there won't be a girl as cute as Zhiliao."
Xia Zhiliao and his entire family breathed a sigh of relief, but why did the Queen Mother say those words again?
The Queen Mother changed the subject and said, "You can take your brothers and sisters out to play for a while, and come back after dinner."
Xia Zhiliao looked at Xia Jinjun and found that her father was looking at her with a helpless look.
"Let's go!" Wen Heng whispered.
Xia Zhiliao shrugged his shoulders.
[Daddy, you're on your own, talk less, you must talk less, with grandma here, nothing will happen.]
Xia Jinjun's heart was hanging in the air, was it really like this?
He is so scared!
