She didn't care at all about Emperor Jinglong's plan to provide for her in her old age, she only cared about her daughter's lifelong affairs.
Hui'an nodded quickly, "It's true. If the Marquis of Jing'an couldn't cure me, my brother would definitely not marry his daughter to him."
"However, when the time comes, you, my mother, must cooperate and put on a show, making a scene and refusing to allow my brother, the emperor, to marry me to the Marquis of Jing'an."
"People have misunderstood that my brother gave you Cihui Palace because he wanted to marry me to Marquis Jing'an."
The noble concubine was also a woman who survived in the harem, and she immediately understood what her daughter meant.
She nodded quickly to show that she understood.
"Then go back quickly, take a shower, and get some rest. You're tired and frightened today. I'll ask Zhuxin to make you some calming tea later."
"Okay, then I'll take my leave." Hui'an bowed, and under the gaze of the noble concubine, she walked out the door and headed towards her own room.
…
When we returned to the inn, Ge Qingqing and the others had already rested.
"Master, let me help you take a bath." As soon as she entered the room, Qing Yuan hurriedly got busy changing clothes for Qiu Yinong.
Qiu Yinong waved her hand and said, "You go and rest. I'll wash myself later."
As a personal maid, Qing Yuan knew something about it. Her master had her own way of bathing, and she saw that she insisted like this.
Qing Yuan bowed, turned around and left the inner room. After washing up, she rested on the small couch in the outer room.
Qiu Yinong closed the door and went straight to the space to soak in the hot spring. She ate something and then returned to the room to rest.
After a good night's sleep, Qiu Yinong told Ge Qingqing and the others early the next morning that she wanted to take them to live in the Xirong Palace.
The two were immediately pleasantly surprised: "Can we go too?"
"Of course, we can't just leave you in this inn!" Qiu Yinong said with a smile.
Ge Qingqing laughed and kept calling them good sisters, and it turned out that she had not forgotten them.
Then she told Qiu Yinong which snack shop in the imperial city was authentic, which restaurant had delicious food, and which jewelry shop had beautiful ready-made clothes, and the cloth shop next door.
She and Qiu Qinghe bought a lot of good things yesterday, and Qiu Qinghe also bought a lot for her. She would show them to him when she arrived at the palace.
Qiu Yinong smiled and agreed. After breakfast, the clerk from the post station came to report that the palace had sent a carriage to pick them up.
"Please tell them to pack up and come back." Qiu Yinong said to the clerk.
The clerk quickly responded, "You are too polite, my lady. I will go and inform you right away."
After Ge Qingqing and her group packed up their things, Li Ao drove the carriage and Chu Hongyun rode Luming, following the carriage sent by the palace towards the palace.
"Whose boy is this? He's so handsome." As he walked along, Chu Hongyun's appearance quickly attracted a lot of people's attention and whispers.
"I don't know. Their carriage doesn't look like the ones we have in Xirong. I heard that the Third Prince of Da Chu came to Xirong with his fiancée, a county lady, to visit the Empress."
"This might be the guard of the Third Prince. This guard is so good-looking, what does the Third Prince look like?"
"It's a pity that he already has a fiancée. I'm afraid he won't choose a wife from our Xirong." The girl wearing a veil hat said regretfully.
Chu Hongyun remained calm and sat upright on Lu Ming.
Fortunately, the inn was not far from the palace, and we arrived there in a short while.
The carriage still went directly into the palace, and this time even into the inner palace.
Emperor Jinglong gave the Qixia Palace next to Fengqi Palace to Qiu Yinong and several other girls to live in, and the Qiongyuan Palace to Chu Hongyun.
After sending Ge Qingqing and the other person to Chu Jinyao, Qiu Yinong and Chu Hongyun went to Emperor Jinglong's study.
The Marquis of Jing'an was already waiting there.
"Your Majesty, the third prince and the county lady have arrived." Fu'an walked to Emperor Jinglong and whispered to him.
Emperor Jinglong nodded, and Fuan went out to invite someone in.
Marquis Jing'an clenched his fist, placed it to his lips and coughed lightly a few times. He was very puzzled as to why His Majesty would summon him to the palace today but said nothing, only that he had not played chess with him for a long time.
When Qiu Yinong and the other person came in, they saw Emperor Jinglong and Marquis Jing'an playing chess.
Marquis Jing'an was a young man in his early twenties, with a handsome face and an upright figure, but his pale complexion and dark circles under his eyes showed that he was not in good health.
Qiu Yinong and the other person came in, and Marquis Jing'an also looked over.
When he saw a pair of wall figures coming in, he was stunned for a moment, but soon his expression returned to clarity.
Emperor Jinglong put down his chess piece and stood up, and Marquis Jing'an also stood up.
"Zi Qi, let me introduce you. This is the uncle of the emperor, Chu Hongyun, and that is the Princess of Changping County, Qiu Yinong, who is also Ayun's fiancée."
Marquis Jing'an quickly stood up and bowed to the two of them: "Marquis Jing'an Ning Ziqi greets the Third Prince and the County Lady."
"Okay, no need to be polite, sit down and talk!" Emperor Jinglong said with a smile.
After they sat down, Emperor Jinglong spoke: "Ziqi, I want to grant you a marriage with Hui'an."
Ning Ziqi stood up instantly, his face horrified, then knelt down and quickly refused: "Your Majesty, I appreciate your kindness, but I am weak now. Even a little more walking would cost me my life."
"You gave Princess Hui'an to me as my wife, but I'm afraid it would harm her."
Emperor Jinglong personally stood up and helped him up: "Ziqi, cousin Yinong is an excellent doctor, and she said that you and Imperial Sister Hui'an are destined to be together."
"Your condition is also due to toxins. Why don't you let your cousin take a look at you first?"
Ning Ziqi looked up at Emperor Jinglong and finally responded, "Okay, then I'll trouble you, County Master."
Qiu Yinong walked towards him, said it was no trouble, and then took his pulse.
"You are indeed poisoned." As he said this, he took out a porcelain bottle and poured him an antidote pill.
"Cousin-in-law, prepare hot water for him to bathe and some clean clothes for him to wear." Qiu Yinong looked at Emperor Jinglong and said.
Emperor Jinglong nodded and then gave his orders.
Marquis Jing'an was quickly taken away. After everyone left, Emperor Jinglong asked, "Can his body be saved?"
"The loss is huge, but it can be cured." Qiu Yinong returned to her seat and sat down. Chu Hongyun placed a plate of snacks in front of her.
Qiu Yinong smiled at him, and Emperor Jinglong saw their interaction.
A smile appeared in his eyes: "My brother and cousin seem to have a very good relationship. Can you tell my brother-in-law about your story?"
Chu Hongyun glanced at Qiu Yinong, who smiled and indicated that it was okay.
Then he picked up a piece of dessert and put it in his mouth, his eyes lit up instantly. It was really good.
Chu Hongyun also began to tell how he met Qiu Yinong, and how he later pestered her, followed her home to recuperate, and fell in love with her over time.
Emperor Jinglong listened with great interest. As he was talking about Qiu Yinong's treatment of the plague, Ning Ziqi came back with a change of clothes.
The dark circles under his eyes completely disappeared, and his complexion was no longer pale.
The whole person looks radiant and energetic.
"Thank you, County Princess, for saving my life." Ning Ziqi came to Qiu Yinong and bowed deeply to her.
