Chapter 147 Qiao Brothers
Queen Song just listened quietly without expressing any thoughts. She was just friendly and kind to Lu Xiang. As for the others, she just gave them a good face because of Lu Xiang.
Concubine Zhen knew it clearly, and Qiao Jingru and Lu Yao also knew their own limitations.
"Imperial Physician Zheng said that if I take care of my body first, there will always be hope. On behalf of my niece and niece-in-law, I would like to thank the Empress for her grace." Concubine Zhen half-knelt to thank Empress Song.
Lu Xiang, Qiao Jingru and Lu Yao followed closely to thank En.
Queen Song glared at Lu Xiang, and because she was close to her, she pulled her up.
Even though there were many rules in the palace, in her Jingren Palace, with no outsiders around, if she said Lu Xiang didn't have to kneel, who would dare to object? This girl was too particular about rules.
"Stand up, I don't know anything about treating illnesses, just listen to the imperial physician."
"Yes." Concubine Zhen smiled and replied, "After disturbing Your Majesty for so long, I will take them away now."
Queen Song wanted to keep Lu Xiang for lunch, but she thought that since she was brought by Concubine Zhen, it would not be good to leave her alone, so she said, "Well, Xiangxiang, when you are free, come to the palace and talk to me."
"Yes, madam."
Concubine Zhen brought the three people back to the Yanx Palace. After lunch, the three said goodbye and returned home.
Because they were in the palace, Qiao Jingru and Lu Yao were both tense and dared not relax. Lu Yao was even more cautious and did not dare to reveal her thoughts.
After she left the palace, her legs went limp and she leaned weakly on her maid.
When they entered the palace, the maids of the three men were left outside the palace.
Haitang supported Lu Yao with a worried look on her face: "Fourth Young Madam, are you okay?"
Lu Yao held Haitang's shoulders and breathed a sigh of relief, "It's okay, it's okay. It's just that this is my first time entering the palace to see the Queen, and I'm too nervous. I'll be fine after a while."
"The first time is new, the second time is familiar. You will get used to it next time you enter the palace." Lu Xiang gently stroked Lu Yao's back, comforting her flustered mood.
Lu Yao looked at Lu Xiang with a smile on her face: "I'm afraid I will never be able to learn the calm and relaxed state of mind of Third Sister in my lifetime. Thank you very much today, Third Sister. I will never forget your kindness."
Lu Xiang smiled nonchalantly: "Second sister has said this countless times. If you really want to thank me, please treat me to a feast when you give birth to a big fat boy in the future."
Lu Yao was shy and could not stand Lu Xiang's teasing. She twisted her handkerchief with a red face, but the sadness in her heart was alleviated a lot.
Now at least she knew the cause of the disease, and with the diagnosis and prescription of the imperial physician, she would always see hope if she took care of herself carefully.
"That's a must." Lu Yao said with a smile.
Having said that, she said goodbye to the two of them, holding the prescription written for her by Doctor Zheng, and got on the carriage back to the Zhou family.
Lu Xiang and Qiao Jingru returned to the Lu family and went to Fuyuan Hall first to report to the old lady.
As they were talking, Bizhu suddenly came into the room and said, "Madam, Chief Steward Du just sent someone to report that the Second Young Master Qiao and the Third Young Master Qiao are here."
Qiao Jingru stood up in surprise and joy and looked at Bizhu: "My second and third brothers are here?"
"Yes, I'm sitting in the front hall now." Bizhu replied.
Qiao Jingru excitedly raised her legs and was about to walk out, but then she remembered that she was still with the old lady, so she turned around and bowed to her, her eyes eagerly saying, "Grandma, I..."
Before she could finish her words, the old lady smiled and waved her hand: "Go, don't keep the young master waiting for too long. You haven't seen each other for more than a year, I think you have a lot to talk about. Invite them to dinner."
"Thank you, grandma." Qiao Jingru bowed with joy, and immediately flew away impatiently like a happy bird.
forecourt
"Third brother, sit down properly." The second son of the Qiao family, Qiao Yuanan, glanced impatiently at his third brother who was sitting lazily, and reminded him.
Why doesn’t he control his romantic habit when he is outside? It’s such a headache!
The scolded boy moved slightly, but his sitting posture was still not much better.
His hair was as black as ink, his skin was like jade, his legs crossed making him look tall and slender, he was wearing a simple light green robe, his eyes were slanted and peach-shaped, and he had an elegant demeanor.
"Second brother, you are jealous that I look better than you even if I sit casually."
Qiao Zeran curled his lips wickedly, and his smile was naturally charming and star-like.
Among the five siblings of the Qiao family, he has the most outstanding appearance, even Qiao Jingru feels inferior to him.
Qiao Yuanan wanted to roll his eyes, but halfway through he remembered that he was a scholar and this was extremely indecent, so he rolled his eyes back: "Don't be silly, the Lu family is not the Qiao family, do you want to embarrass Fifth Sister?"
When the only sister was mentioned, Qiao Zeran finally listened half of it and sat up straighter.
Although he is still sloppy, at least he follows the rules.
As he was speaking, he heard a clear, sweet and cheerful voice coming from outside.
"Second brother, third brother."
The two brothers of the Qiao family stood up suddenly, and the next moment they saw Qiao Jingru flying in like a butterfly, pausing for a moment before rushing over to the two of them. She hugged her two brothers' necks with her hands, one on the left and one on the right, and jumped for joy.
"Second brother, third brother, I miss you so much."
The two brothers of the Qiao family couldn't suppress their joy as they held their only sister.
"Oh, sister, you've gained weight."
Suddenly, the third brother Qiao Zeran said.
The smile on Qiao Jingru's face froze instantly. She pushed the third brother away angrily and punched him: "Third brother, you are annoying."
The second brother Qiao glared at his younger brother and looked at Qiao Jingru lovingly: "Yes, your third brother is annoying, let's ignore him and let the second brother take a good look."
Qiao Zeran said unconvincedly: "How can I be considered annoying just because I tell the truth? I am praising her, which shows that she is living a comfortable life in the Lu family."
"Thank you, but I don't need such compliments." Qiao Jingru made a face at him and turned to talk to Qiao Yuanan: "Didn't my elder brother and sister-in-law come to Beijing with you? Are your parents okay? Where's your fourth brother? Did he run away to join the army again?"
Qiao Jingru hadn't seen her family since she got married, and she missed them very much. Looking at her gentle and elegant second brother and handsome and romantic third brother, her longing for her family suddenly poured out like a flood, and her eyes couldn't help but turn red.
The Qiao brothers have cherished Qiao Jingru since she was a child, and when they saw her eyes reddened, they suddenly became anxious.
Qiao Laosan: "Hey, hey, hey, sister, don't cry. Third brother is mean and shouldn't say you are fat. Third brother is wrong."
Qiao Jingru didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "..."
Third brother, can you please stop mentioning the word fat?
The second son, Qiao Yuanan, coaxed him softly, "Dad and Mom are fine, but they miss you all the time. Now that the Lu family has settled in the capital, isn't your eldest brother's business developing in the capital? Dad and Mom have discussed with your eldest brother about buying a house in the capital so that we can live here, so that we can be closer to you in the future. And I will take the imperial examination this autumn, and if I pass, I will definitely settle down in the capital."
"Really?" Qiao Jingru asked ecstatically.
"Since we're discussing it, it's almost done. Once we've decided, there are many things back home that need to be resolved one by one, so my eldest brother and his wife will come to the capital later. I'll go to the capital first to study and prepare for the autumn examination."
