Chapter 374 Finale Part 2
The reason why Chen Ruoyun did not come to Yangzhou was that she returned to Linzhou City after Qi Yanzhou's rebellion succeeded.
In addition to visiting her parents, she also wanted to inform them of her wedding date with Song Jingning.
The wedding date should have been decided after Song Jingning discussed it with the Chen family.
But Chen Ruoyun thought that Song Jingning would be very busy after the establishment of the new dynasty.
She didn't want him to go through so much trouble, so they asked Jie Yi to calculate a good day, and she went home alone to tell him.
But she and Song Jingning made an appointment to meet in Yangzhou City.
Song Jingning calculated the time and concluded that Chen Ruoyun would be able to reach Yangzhou in two days at most.
After hearing the reason, the two elders of the Tang family looked at each other.
The old man said, "Jingning, marriage cannot be a matter of the woman alone. We must also show our sincerity. Grandfather knows that you are very busy and have no time to go to Linzhou City. I will go for you."
Although Linzhou City is far away from Yangzhou, it takes three months to go back and forth.
But no matter how far, you have to take the trip to show your recognition and respect for the woman.
Song Jingning looked at the old man gratefully, with the corners of his lips raised.
"Grandfather, you are old and in poor health, so there is no need to make this trip. When Ruoyun and I get married, her parents will come to the capital, and you can meet them then."
He had proposed marriage to the Chen family a long time ago and had also gone through the three letters and six ceremonies.
We hadn't discussed the wedding date before because the situation was still unsettled.
After listening to Song Jingning's explanation, Mr. Tang did not insist.
"Okay, we'll meet in the capital then. We'll prepare some more gifts for the occasion."
After that, he asked, "Jingning, when is your wedding date with Miss Chen?"
"Qixi."
"There are still three months left, which is enough time to hold a grand wedding."
Madam Tang warned, "Jingning, Miss Chen has been with you for so many years, you must treat her well."
"Don't worry, grandma. I will treat Ruoyun well."
After a while, the meal was ready.
A full table.
It’s too late, so don’t eat too much.
Ye Chutang and Song Jingning only ate until they were half full, then returned to their respective courtyards to rest.
The next day.
Old Master Tang called all the direct and side branches of the Tang family.
A clan temple was built, the surname was changed to Tang, and it was included in the family tree.
Song Jingning is now the regent second only to the emperor, and also the emperor's brother-in-law.
He was willing to be a descendant of the Tang family, so the Tang family was naturally happy.
Ye Chutang did not change her surname and she was a woman, so she had no right to enter the ancestral hall.
But she is the empress and the heir to the Tang family fortune.
So, she and Song Jingning went to pay homage to the ancestors of the Tang family and burn incense.
After the ceremony.
Song Jingning said to the Tang family: "Now, you are also royal relatives."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's face showed joy.
But his next words turned everyone's joy into sorrow.
"You must obey the law, don't bully others and bring shame to me and the Empress, otherwise I will not only act according to the law, but also make your crime even more serious!"
Ye Chutang also added, "As long as you behave yourself and don't commit any crimes, and are willing to work, I will ensure that you will have enough food and drink."
A slap in the face and a sweet date were enough to appease the Tang family in an instant.
Afterwards, the two elders of the Tang family took the family tree to the government and registered Song Jingning's household registration.
***
Due to weather reasons, Chen Ruoyun was delayed on the road.
Song Jingning was extremely worried and immediately rode north to look for someone.
As soon as he left Yangzhou, he ran into Chen Ruoyun who was rushing towards him.
Also coming with her was the white tiger that Lele raised in Tianshan County.
The white tiger entered the city and frightened the people.
Chen Ruoyun came with generous gifts and met the two elders of the Tang family.
The two elders liked her very much and gave her a jade bracelet passed down from the Tang family to show their recognition of her.
Lele looked at Xiaobai and was so happy.
I rode out for a stroll.
The people looked at the white tiger carrying Lele, baring its teeth and grinning, and suddenly they were not so scared anymore.
Song Jingning accompanied Chen Ruoyun in Yangzhou City for three days and then planned to return to Beijing.
"Grandfather, grandmother, please arrange your business matters as soon as possible and come to the capital to spend more time with Chu'er and me."
When Lele heard this, he looked at the two elders reluctantly.
"And spend more time with Lele."
The two elders agreed with a smile, "Okay, after we have arranged things in the shop, we will go to the capital and live for a year or so."
After saying this, the two elders waved goodbye reluctantly.
"Bon Voyage."
Ten days later.
Ye Chutang and Song Jingning arrived in the capital.
Qi Yanzhou, wearing low-key casual clothes, stood under a big tree next to the city gate to greet them.
No one noticed him at first.
But as soon as the tall and mighty white tiger appeared, it attracted the attention of the people.
They were originally quite afraid of the white tiger.
But as soon as the white tiger saw Qi Yanzhou, it stretched its head over to ask for a touch, which was so cute.
"Who has this white tiger? It's so cute."
Lele came out of the sedan and said proudly, "I raised him."
After saying that, she called Baihu to the carriage.
The white tiger is taller than the shaft of the cart, which makes it just convenient for Lele to sit on its back.
She rode a white tiger through the city and arrived at the palace.
As a result, everyone in the capital knew that Princess Zhaoyang had raised a ferocious white tiger and carried it with her all day long.
When Lele went to the Imperial College to study, officials told their children to stay away from Princess Zhaoyang to avoid being hurt by the white tiger.
But the children would never listen.
They just thought Lele was amazing and could tame the white tiger, so they all vied to make friends with her.
The only exception was Xiao Tingyou, the eldest son of the Minister of Justice.
He is timid, delicate and a crybaby.
Lele is very playful and loves to play tricks on him.
He cried until his nose was bubbling.
Once, Xiao Tingyou was so scared that he fell ill and did not go to the Imperial College for several days.
Ye Chutang taught Lele a lesson for this and asked her to go to the Shangshu Mansion to apologize to Xiao Tingyou.
Lele knew that he had gone too far and went to the Xiao family.
Then she learned that because of her bullying, Xiao Tingyou was bullied by his illegitimate son at home.
"Xiao Tingyou, I will protect you from now on and will not let anyone bully you!"
This protection lasts for six years.
Six years later.
The country of Yan'an is prosperous, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and all poverty is eliminated.
Qi Yanzhou and Ye Chutang retired after their success and abdicated to An An.
The reign title was changed to Jingrui.
Auspicious stars and auspicious clouds, a thousand kinds of lucky aura.
[Note: The Book of Songs: Xiaoya Xin Nanshan]
It not only takes a character from An An's name, but also has a very good meaning.
Ten-year-old Qi Jinghuai is already a little adult.
Under the training of Ye Chutang, Qi Yanzhou and Song Jingning, he not only has outstanding abilities, but also has a deep understanding of the ways of the emperor.
He is already a qualified king.
Although he was young, he had already been involved in court affairs and had made some reforms that benefited the country and the people.
Not only did all the officials recognize him, but the people also loved him.
Therefore, no one objected when Qi Jinghuai ascended the throne at the age of ten.
The coronation ceremony is over.
Ye Chutang and Qi Yanzhou packed their bags and planned to leave Beijing and travel around the world.
Qi Jinghuai was very reluctant to let her go, but he did not try to keep her.
Because he knew that if he didn't want the throne, his parents wouldn't have forced the emperor to abdicate, and they wouldn't have been trapped in the capital for six years.
"Dad and Mom, I don't ask for anything else, I just hope you can come back to Beijing at the end of the year to spend the New Year with me."
Ye Chutang agreed immediately.
"Okay, not just at the end of the year, I'll come back to see you at other times. You are the king of the people and the child of your parents."
She warned: "Le Le has a wild temper, you need to watch him more..."
Before he could finish his words, Qi Jingxi rushed over carrying two large bags.
Xiaobai followed her happily.
"Mom and Dad, I want to travel the world with you!"
Ye Chutang joked: "If you leave, who will protect the spoiled child of the Xiao family?"
Qi Jingxi pouted, "It's because I have protected Xiao Tingyou too well in the past few years that he has become more and more spoiled. Only when I leave can he grow up."
Actually, no, she was just tired of staying in the capital and wanted to go out and see the world.
Ye Chutang saw through Lele's thoughts, but did not object.
For a doctor, going into the mountains to collect herbs is a necessary experience.
But she also didn't agree to let Lele follow her.
"You have been studying medicine behind closed doors for eight years. Now you can go out and work as a traveling doctor. I will notify your master and ask him to take you with me."
Lele’s master is the miracle doctor Xue Dong.
After the establishment of the new dynasty, Xue Dong returned to the capital and entered the Imperial Medical Service.
His purpose was to ask Ye Chutang for medical advice.
Although Ye Chutang's medical skills are very advanced, there are still many things in ancient medicine that are worth learning for her.
When the two of them learned medical skills from each other, she asked Xue Dong to be Lele's master.
Although Lele is naughty, he has made great progress in his studies, martial arts and medical skills.
Today, her medical skills are not top-notch, but they are not inferior to those of ordinary doctors.
Qi Jingxi blinked her big black grape-like eyes and said, "I want to go out with my parents."
Qi Yanzhou is a daughter slave, and just as he was about to agree, Ye Chutang rejected him first.
"No, we have different goals and cannot travel together. You either stay in the capital, or..."
Without waiting for Ye Chutang to finish speaking, Qi Jingxi chose the latter one.
"I am willing to go out with my master as a traveling doctor."
After saying that, she looked at Qi Jinghuai with his eyes lowered and smiled in a way that made her look like she deserved a beating.
"Brother, don't be envious. If I come across something delicious or fun, I will definitely buy an extra portion for you to eat and play with."
Qi Jinghuai was originally sad because his family members were about to leave Beijing.
Hearing this, I laughed.
He tapped Lele's head gently, "Good sister, thank you!"
"You're welcome. I'll go find my master."
As Qi Jingxi turned and left, Ye Chutang heard a "ding" sound in his head and a mechanical sound appeared.
"The merit value has reached the maximum level. You can split a new space and give it to people who are connected by blood."
As the voice fell, a line of words appeared in her mind, along with two options.
"Host, are you willing to use 50 million merit points to split a primary space?"
The options are "Yes" and "No".
Ye Chutang thought that as long as the world was stable, merit points were of little use, so he immediately chose "yes".
The merit points are almost exhausted, with only more than three million points left.
But it was enough for her to use in her life.
She said to Qi Yanzhou, "I'm going to talk to Doctor Xue. You clean up first."
After saying that, she caught up with Lele.
"Le Le, mother has something for you."
Qi Jingxi immediately extended her hand, "Thank you, mother."
Ye Chutang held Lele's hand, pulled her back to Zhaoyang Palace, and entered her bedroom.
"Mom, where is the thing you want to give me?"
Ye Chutang did not answer Lele, but directly passed the primary space to her.
Then he took her into a space where there was only a small pool of spiritual spring water.
Qi Jingxi looked at the vast white space and her eyes widened in surprise.
"Mom, where is this?"
Ye Chutang took Lele to the Lingquan and explained to her the origin and purpose of the space.
Of course, the origin is made up, but its usefulness is real.
"This medical space is a secret passed down from generation to generation in the Divine Doctor Valley..."
After saying that, she moved the small courtyard she had built before to Lele's space.
"Although the time you enter the space is very short each time, it can be used in an emergency when you are away from home. The space is a secret that cannot be told. Even your father, brother, and master must keep it secret. Do you understand?"
If she wasn't out and about and having a space would be more convenient, she wouldn't have given it to Lele so early.
So that she wouldn't be able to keep the secret and bring disaster upon herself.
Qi Jingxi was still in shock and nodded blankly.
Ye Chutang was afraid that she didn't listen, so he said in a serious tone: "If you tell the secret to others, mother and you will be punished by the Divine Doctor Valley, and disaster will befall you!"
Qi Jingxi took these words to heart and nodded solemnly.
"Mom, don't worry. You and I know about the medical space. No third person will know."
Ye Chutang nodded and gave Lele a few more instructions.
"Okay, I've told you everything I need to tell you. Now go find your master."
After saying that, she took Lele out of the space and left.
Qi Jingxi took a while to digest the joy of having a space.
Then he went in and out, putting a lot of things into the space.
She looked at the space that was no longer empty, and went to find Xue Dong with satisfaction.
Xue Dong didn't like being restricted, and he stayed in the palace as an imperial physician for Lele and his medical skills.
When he heard that Lele was leaving Beijing to become a traveling doctor, he immediately agreed.
That afternoon.
Qi Yanzhou and Ye Chutang, Xue Dong and Qi Jingxi left Beijing.
Baihu also followed Lele.
Qi Jinghuai stood on the city wall and watched his family leave.
When Xiao Tingyou got the news and ran to the city gate, Qi Jingxi was nowhere to be seen.
He cried without caring about his image, shouting, "Zhaoyang, you are a big liar!"
I promised to protect him forever, but I left without even telling him!
Qi Jinghuai went down from the city wall.
Looking at Xiao Tingyou who was crying and snotting, his eyes were full of disgust.
He deliberately asked: "Do you know why my sister left Beijing?"
Xiao Tingyou looked at the young king and immediately wiped away his tears.
He sobbed and asked, "Why?"
Qi Jinghuai told Xiao Tingyou about Qi Jingxi's previous reasons for leaving Beijing.
"The royal sister said that she has protected you too well in the past few years, which has caused you to become more and more spoiled. Only when she leaves can you grow up."
"Xiao Tingyou, the imperial sister has protected you for six years. Only when you grow up can you repay her kindness."
He didn't care what the relationship between the imperial sister and Xiao Tingyou was before. It would always be a good idea to have more people to protect her in the future.
Xiao Tingyou looked in the direction of leaving Beijing.
After a long time, he said to himself: "Zhaoyang, I will protect you in the future!"
Qi Jingxi, who was saying goodbye to his parents at Shili Pavilion, sneezed.
She rubbed her nose and waved goodbye to Ye Chutang and Qi Yanzhou.
"Dad and Mom, have a safe journey. See you later."
Ye Chutang was amused and his smile was bright and brilliant.
"Okay, see you in the capital at the end of the year!"
Having said that, she whipped the horse whip and galloped away.
Qi Yanzhou followed closely behind.
Ye Chutang breathed in the fresh air and felt the warm spring breeze. He felt like a bird that had escaped from a cage and felt extremely relaxed.
She couldn't help but think of a poem.
"After being in a cage for so long, I finally get back to nature."
[Note: Tao Yuanming's Return to Garden and Farmland is one of them]
From then on, the court lost a pair of kings and queens who were devoted to serving the people, and the countryside gained a pair of carefree couples.
