Chapter 214 Another More Happy Thing

Could it be that the person Lu Li chose to seek help from was really the Queen?

Lu Yanshi felt sad.

It turns out that Xiaojiu is always the best friend to the Queen.

He couldn't help it and went to Weiyang Palace, where he unexpectedly met Helian Qian.

"Greetings to the Emperor Uncle." Helian Qian hurriedly greeted him when he saw him.

They had agreed before that they would still use this title in private.

"Qian'er, why are you here?" Lu Yanshi was a little surprised.

"The Ninth Princess wants some ponies of different colors and asked me to help her find them." Helian Qian said with a smile.

Lu Yanshi couldn't laugh anymore.

What? The person Xiaojiu trusts the most is not him or the queen, but Helian Qian?

He glanced at the Queen's expression and found that she couldn't laugh either, and he immediately felt balanced.

That’s good, this way he won’t feel disappointed.

"Then you have to help Xiaojiu choose carefully." Lu Yanshi smiled and patted Helian Qian's shoulder.

[Don't worry, Father. Helian Qian will definitely help me choose carefully.]

[The largest horse farm in Dongli is owned by the Helian family. They have all kinds of good horses! ]

Lu Li muttered secretly in her heart.

so it is!

Lu Yanshi and Xia Shuyi both suddenly understood.

No wonder Xiaojiu asked Helian Qian for help.

After hearing this reason, the sour feelings in the hearts of the emperor and the empress disappeared.

Helian Qian agreed to Lu Li and left the palace to look for her.

About ten days later, he sent a letter saying that he had found it and it would be shipped back from Dongluo in a few days.

Lu Li was very happy to hear this.

Besides this, she also knew something else that was even more worthy of joy.

The fifth princess made it through and survived!

"Then will the fifth princess be able to return to the palace in a few days?" Lu Li looked at Lu Yanshi excitedly.

"Yes, wait another half a month, and make sure that the smallpox in her body is completely eradicated, then let her return to the palace." Lu Yanshi nodded.

Shufei is not only his beloved concubine, but also his good general. He cannot hurt her feelings.

Besides, Xiaowu is his daughter too, how can she stay outside the palace forever? The New Year is coming soon, she should go back to the palace early so that the family can be reunited.

"Great, then let's quickly make some preparations to welcome the fifth sister back to the palace!" Lu Li happily took Lu Qionghua's hand and spun in circles.

"Okay, let's set it up together!" Lu Qionghua was so excited that tears came out.

Even the usually strong Concubine Shu couldn't help but shed tears when she heard this.

So the group got busy.

By the time Lu Qiongying returned to the palace, the entire Shouxi Palace had been renovated.

Lu Li hung the shell wind chime she made by herself on the head of Lu Qiongying's bed, while Lu Xuanyi donated the revolving lantern made by her mother and placed it in the yard.

Lu Linlang was as wealthy and generous as her mother, and she directly gave the princess a jade Buddha pendant that had been blessed by a master.

"Let Fifth Princess wear it, it will definitely keep her healthy and safe for the rest of her life."

Lu Heng had nothing to give as a gift, so he helped cut paper-cuts and pasted them on the windows.

Lu Qi knew that the fifth sister needed to recover, so he sent her some scar removal ointment.

When she first went to the battlefield, her mother spent a large sum of money to buy medicine from the nuns in the temple, for fear that she would get injured and have scars and would not be able to marry.

The effect was quite good, so she thought of giving one to her fifth sister, thinking that this thing might be able to help.

Lu Yao did not send anything because she was already advanced in pregnancy and was about to give birth. Her husband did not tell her that Lu Qiongying had contracted smallpox.

But the prince consort still sent a pot of flowers that Lu Yao had planted herself.

Even Concubine Shu's black cat put on the little red hat woven by the Empress herself, waiting to welcome her little master home.

Shen Liuzheng's eyes became wet again when she saw the little girls sitting in a row at the door, waiting for Lu Qiongying to return to the palace.

However, they didn't think of one thing -

Lu Qiongying was unwilling to come back.

"Why?" Lu Qionghua was the first one who couldn't accept it.

"The fifth princess said that she will stay outside the palace and will never come back." The palace maid conveyed Lu Qiongying's words nervously.

"This is her home, why doesn't she come back?" Lu Qionghua stomped his feet in anger.

The other children also looked at the maid with confusion.

"I don't know." The palace maid was almost crying.

"The Fifth Princess said she would not come back, and if anyone forced her to come back, she would commit suicide."

Hearing this, Shen Liuzheng's face darkened.

"This damn kid, does he want to piss me off to death?"

She had finally survived, but now he wanted to die again. She would never allow this to happen.

"Hanguang, accompany me to pick up the fifth princess." Shen Liuzheng grabbed the cloak and threw it on himself, ready to leave the palace.

[It turned out that smallpox left many scars that could not be removed, even on her face. She didn’t want to see us with an ugly look, so she didn’t come back.]

Lu Li immediately opened the gossip system and learned the truth that Lu Qiongying was unwilling to return to the palace.

Shen Liuzheng paused.

This child, no matter if she has a scar, she will always be my precious daughter.

How can I not come back?

Shen Liuzheng wished she could go to her daughter right now, hug her tightly, and tell her how important she was to her and how much her sisters wanted her to come home.

"Mother, I will go with you to persuade the fifth sister!" Lu Qionghua felt very upset when he knew the truth.

"Let's all go!" Lu Li also stood up.

"Yes, let's all go!" Several other children also stood up.

[If we all go, the Fifth Princess will know how much we love her and miss her, so she will probably return to the palace, right? ]

Shen Liuzheng, who originally wanted to reject them, changed his mind after hearing this.

Xiaojiu is right. If Qiongying sees that everyone is looking forward to her return to the palace, she will definitely come back.

So Shen Liuzheng drove the carriage and took Lu Qionghua and others out of the palace to pick up their eldest daughter.

"Qiongying, open the door. I am your mother. I am here to take you back to the palace." Shen Liuzheng patted Lu Qiongying's gate.

Before Lu Qiongying could say "I'm not going back", she heard someone knocking on the door again.

"Fifth sister, open the door. I am Qiong Hua. I am here to take you back to the palace."

"Fifth sister, open the door. I am the second sister. I am here to take you back to the palace."

"Fifth sister, open the door. I am the third brother. I am here to take you back to the palace."

"Fifth sister, open the door. I am Linlang. I am here to take you back to the palace."

"Fifth sister, open the door. I am Xuanyi. I am here to take you back to the palace."

"Fifth sister, open the door. I am Xiaojiu. We are here to take you back to the palace."

One after another, their tone was full of anticipation and joy.

Lu Qiongying in the room widened her eyes and sat up from the bed in disbelief.

Before she knew it, her tears had covered her entire cheeks.

How come, why are there so many people coming to pick her up?

She hurriedly picked up the veil and put it on her head, then ran over and opened the door, timidly asking, "Why are you all here?"

"Not only us, Xuan'er is here too." Lu Qionghua carefully lifted up the little black cat wearing a red hat in her arms.

"Meow."

The little black cat called softly, leaped up, and jumped into Lu Qiongying's arms, as if to say it had been a long time since we last met.
