Chapter 293 Return to Kyoto
The purpose of Gu Heng's visit this time was to treat Nian Nian, but his medical skills were limited and he could not find any problems.
Gu Heng and Chen Jingyan said that Yun Qiao could take Nian Nian back to Kyoto. There were imperial doctors in Kyoto, and even if Nian Nian's illness could not be cured, they could provide the child with a better living environment.
Chen Jingyan discussed the matter with Yun Qiao that night.
"My second brother said that going back would be better for the children."
Yun Qiao sat at the dressing table, removing her hairpin. She looked at Chen Jingyan in the mirror and asked, "What do you think, Marquis? Are you planning to stay in Mobei while we return to Kyoto?"
"I will go back with you."
As for going back, the two of them thought that if they were going back, they would go back together.
The business in Mobei has become increasingly mature and can be done very well without Yun Qiao's supervision. A contract has also been signed with the Manchu country, and there will be no more war within the next hundred years. However, there is no trade between the two countries yet.
The Manchus naturally wanted to trade with the Zhous. They had few arable lands and few crops, which were basically not enough to eat. The people of the Manchus needed to come to the South City of Zhou to buy food, and the people of the South City would go to Manchester to buy vegetables and fruits. The merchants in the South City would also buy some dried fruits from Manchester and sell them to various parts of the Zhou.
If there is no trade, it will be a huge loss for merchants in both places.
Yun Qiao has not been interested in business during this period and has devoted all her attention to Nian Nian.
Chen Jingyan was concerned about the affairs of the military camp. During the previous marches and battles, he had summoned soldiers from military camps across the country. Now that the war had stopped, it was naturally difficult to support the soldiers from all over the country in this one place.
Chen Jingyan was following the method Su Mo had taught him before to make the people in the barracks self-sufficient.
By reclaiming land, planting crops and raising livestock, they at least ensured food and drink for their own military camp. Of course, there was also food and fodder transported from other places.
I was busy until late autumn.
Emperor Taikang issued an edict, which roughly meant that Chen Jingyan should return to Kyoto.
The young emperor was too young to hold on to the position, and there was no one to help him from his uncle's family. He now lacked someone to help him establish his authority in the court, so he thought of letting Chen Jingyan go back.
They had originally planned to wait until next year to go to Kyoto, but now that they received the imperial edict, their whole family rushed back to Kyoto.
The journey was delayed for some time because of the children.
By the time they arrived at the Marquis' Mansion, it was already the end of the year.
The plaque of the Marquis' Mansion was also changed, but this plaque was not for the King of Mobei, but for the General's Mansion of Protectorate the Country.
Given personally by the new emperor.
They had just returned to Kyoto, and within three days, the emperor's rewards were sent from the palace to the general's mansion like water.
Chen Jingyan and Yun Qiao were also summoned into the palace.
With the change of court, the former Empress Dowager Chen became the Grand Empress Dowager, and Empress Zhang Huang became the Empress Dowager. As for the concubines of the previous emperor, those with children stayed in the palace to raise their children, while those without children were sent to the cold palace.
Su Mo was the concubine who didn't get pregnant in the end. When she learned that Yun Qiao was coming, Su Mo felt excited.
After the death of the late emperor, her life in the palace fell into a slump. Before, Empress Dowager Zhang never restrained these favored concubines, but when the late emperor died, Empress Dowager Zhang directly forced several concubines who usually made trouble to be buried with him.
Su Mo was also favored at that time, and she was afraid that she would be worried.
Fortunately, she was not taken away to be buried alive.
But she didn't want to stay in the palace for even a single day.
Thinking that she had some interactions with Yun Qiao before, she wanted to find Yun Qiao. It was impossible for her, a concubine, to meet Chen Jingyan. Now that she knew that Yun Qiao had entered the palace, Su Mo wanted to find her.
After being sent to the cold palace, the only people left by her were two palace maids and a eunuch whom she had treated well before.
Su Mo asked the young eunuch to go out and get some information for her.
Upon learning that Yun Qiao was in Empress Dowager Zhang's palace, Su Mo came up with a crude idea and fell into the lake in the middle of winter. The eunuch beside him hurried to Empress Dowager Zhang's palace.
"Your Majesty, Concubine Su has fallen into the lake and is nearly unconscious from the cold. Please send for the imperial physician."
Empress Dowager Zhang frowned. She was talking to Yun Qiao, and upon hearing this, she waved her hand, "Baoying, send for the imperial physician to see Concubine Su. Why are you going to the lake in the middle of winter?"
After hearing this, the young eunuch turned and left.
Empress Dowager Zhang then looked at Yun Qiao again with a slight smile on her face. "Huayang, you are the Emperor's aunt. I will have to trouble General Chen with the matters at court right now."
Yun Qiao snorted in her heart, now she knows that she is causing trouble for others, what was she thinking before.
