Chapter 391: Do What You Are Asked
It is easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but it is difficult to go from extravagance to frugality.
Lu Qiniang might not say such words, but she understands this truth more deeply than anyone else.
"Xiao Yan, we don't care whether they suspect us or not. We will do whatever we are asked to do. As for the rest, no one can say anything wrong about us." Lu Qiniang took the initiative to hold Xiao Yan's hand.
"Okay," Xiao Yan looked at Lu Qiniang with a tender gaze. "Qiniang, having you by my side for the rest of my life is the greatest blessing of my life. Even if I have to be a farmer for the rest of my life, I would be willing to do that in exchange for a long-term companionship."
"I don't mind you even if you farm." Lu Qiniang said, "You're pretty and have the capital, so I'm willing to support you."
Xiao Yan laughed muffledly.
He was very happy to be praised for having the capital to live off his wife.
"Xiao Yan, who are you going to teach?" Lu Qiniang asked again, "Should you find out in advance what kind of personalities these children have? If they're naughty, you'll have to think of a way to control them. I tell you, only children will bully others. They pick on the weak and fear the strong!"
"I don't know either." Xiao Yan said, "Let's ask later."
"Oh right," Lu Qiniang said happily, "guess what Uncle Teng said to me in secret when I sent him out?"
"Hmm? What did you say?"
"Uncle Teng said that the emperor is going to give me a royal consort!" Lu Qiniang was delighted. "Oh my god, I never thought I could become a royal consort. I used to only see it in plays. Oh, by the way, when I was in the Zhou Mansion, the Zhou family's ancestor was a royal consort, and her royal clothes were not allowed to be touched."
Now that she has become successful, she has also become a noble lady.
Xiao Yan is so awesome, and she also benefited from it.
"Abandoned Mother, you're not taking advantage of me. I'm taking advantage of you." Xiao Yan said sincerely, "If it weren't for you intervening, the Emperor wouldn't have forgiven me so quickly and appointed me."
He even couldn't help but wonder, if the emperor really wanted him to teach the princes and grandchildren, was it because he saw that Lu Qinniang was good at teaching children and had taught all the children well?
"What did I do?" Lu Qiniang said, "Don't talk nonsense. If you don't have the ability, it's useless to rely on others. I am also a noble lady, just like the ancestor of the Zhou family, hehe."
“It’s different.”
"Huh? Why is it different?"
"Her rank is not as high as yours. You are a second-rank imperial consort."
Lu Qiniang looked at him in shock. It was the first time she knew that there were different ranks for the title of Consort.
Second grade, that’s very powerful.
"The princess is also of the second rank." Xiao Yan said meaningfully.
Lu Qiniang's eyes lit up, "From now on, that poisonous woman poisoned my pigs, so I can also poison her cats and dogs?"
Xiao Yan didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Abandoned mother, oh abandoned mother, why are you so ambitious?
"Hmph, let's see if she dares to do it again!" Lu Qiniang was so smug, "If she poisons my pigs again next time, I won't let her off!"
Pigs, your master is getting angry, hurry up and reincarnate back.
Oh, where to go? She doesn’t raise pigs anymore.
It’s really depressing when I think about it.
"Uncle Teng said that the imperial edict had been drafted and he wanted to come together. But the emperor said, forget it, let's wait until the New Year." Lu Qiniang said, "Can you guess why?"
"Why?"
"The Emperor said that double happiness is enough. Good things can't all happen on one day."
"Well, when the water is full, it will overflow. Since ancient times, we have always said that 'a little fullness is better than a perfect one'. We don't dare to expect perfection, but it's good to be after the New Year."
To be fair, the emperor treats Lu Qinniang very well.
No one knows how long I have to wait for the imperial edicts from other people.
He didn't even ask for the title himself, the emperor had already arranged it for Lu Qinniang, which shows that the emperor really loves her.
"Yes, the Emperor also said that if you receive an imperial decree, you must go to the palace to pay New Year's greetings. I don't have much time to learn the rules, and I'm afraid I'll be nervous and make mistakes, so I decided to wait until after the New Year. The Emperor is so kind to me. Oh, and it seems that the Emperor will also give me 200 acres of land!"
Lu Qiniang simply wanted to worship the emperor.
"The Emperor treats me better than my parents do."
Xiao Yan laughed and said, "No wonder you didn't let me feel resentful towards the emperor. It turns out that I was bribed by the emperor's benefits."
"The Emperor is so kind." Lu Qiniang said, "I could even wake up laughing in my dreams tonight. Xiao Yan, please smile. Why are you always looking so sad? We don't lack bitter melons at home."
"No, I was wondering, what if the emperor asked me to teach the prince?"
"Then teach me."
"Thinking about the prince's temperament gives me a headache." Xiao Yan said the truth.
"That child is a bit worrying." Lu Qiniang said, "But the emperor wants you to listen to the prince and assist him in the future. I can see it."
"I'm afraid I'll be involved in the struggle for the throne, which is the princes fighting for the throne."
"Then we won't participate." Lu Qiniang said, "We will just listen to the emperor. If the emperor asks you to be a teacher, then you should be a good teacher. Praise those who obey and punish those who disobey, regardless of their status, and do it without any selfish motives. This way, others will not be able to find fault. As long as we can stand firm on our own, we can withstand the test."
Xiao Yan couldn't help but hug her and kiss her all over.
How can she be so insightful and smart?
Lu Qiniang is not good at preaching big principles, but her simple words always contain the most touching truths.
Don't take sides, protect yourself, and be yourself.
Xiao Yan was originally disappointed and confused, but after being enlightened by her, his mind suddenly became clear. He felt that if an enemy comes, he will be dealt with by a soldier; if a flood comes, he will be blocked by earth. There was nothing to be afraid of.
"What are you doing?" Lu Qiniang said disdainfully, "Go away. Not today!"
"I just want to kiss you. Abandoned mother, how can I like you so much."
It turns out that love can last forever, just like aged wine, becoming more mellow with time.
The King of Chu likes thin waists, but he treats women as objects and tools.
But Xiao Yan knew that although Lu Qinniang did not have a thin waist or stunning beauty, she had already become an inseparable part of him.
He couldn't imagine his life without her.
How could he not love her like this?
He is the luckiest man in the world.
He has already obtained the purest happiness in the world and dares not desire more. He only hopes that they can stay together for a long time in this life.
We sleep together in life and study together in death, and we will never change until death.
