Chapter 531 Getting Old



Emperor Wu was puzzled. He hadn't said anything yet, but the mother and son started to give up. If one or the other didn't want to take charge at this time, who would take over the huge mess in the north?

Isn't this giving him a difficult problem?

But does the other party really want to surrender his military power, or is he testing his bottom line?

No matter what, let’s meet him in person first!

The crown prince met the army on behalf of Emperor Wu at a place thirty miles outside the city, and received the meritorious officials with the highest standard of Dajing. He also personally welcomed the army representatives into the city.

Qiao Yunting stationed the army outside the city and only brought more than a hundred people into the city to receive the reward!

Qiao Xin has never liked crowds, so she refused to go to the palace with him for the banquet and instead took everyone back to her own residence.

Qiao Yunting and the prince did not force her, considering that she had just recovered from a serious illness and was not feeling well.

When Qiao Xin stayed in Beijing, she was well-known for not liking to join in the fun!

Even at royal banquets, she was rarely seen.

Nowadays, most of the people at celebration banquets are men, so it seems a bit out of place for Qiao Xin, a woman, to appear there.

She herself doesn't care about these superficial efforts, even though everyone feels bad about it.

But since she herself didn't want to, and His Majesty didn't issue an explicit order requiring her to be present, everyone just followed her!

Knowing that Qiao Xin was coming back, Xu was so excited that she couldn't sleep well for several nights.

Early in the morning, Liulang, Sanniang and Erlang and his wife, who had arrived early, stood outside the mansion gate, looking forward to it!

After finally seeing Qiao Xin, I saw that she was getting off a carriage.

Her heart skipped a beat, and she quickly stepped forward to take a look at the man. Seeing that he was fine, she shouted:

"mother!"

"Why!"

Qiao Erlang pulled his wife and hurried forward to hold Qiao Xin's arm, not as calm as usual.

Seeing Qiao Xin's gray hair and thin cheeks, he opened his mouth and spoke in a hoarse voice.

"grandmother!"

Qiao Xin looked up at him and laughed.

"Hey, Erlang, why are you growing a beard? Aren't you afraid that your wife will think you look old?

This is your wife, right? I haven't seen her for a few years. The princess has grown into a great beauty. You are so lucky!"

When Qiao Erlang saw that Qiao Xin still had the energy to joke with the couple, his brows immediately relaxed.

"If you don't like it, I'll just shave it later."

Qiao Xin waved her hands; "No, no, no, maybe the princess likes your mature look. Don't let an old woman like me ruin your little romance!"

The Sixth Princess was standing in the middle of the crowd. After hearing this, her face flushed and she felt a little uncomfortable. It was obvious that she was not used to Qiao Xin talking to the younger generation like this.

Although she was of the most noble status among those present.

But Qiao Xin is someone respected by the emperor, so she doesn't have to kneel when she sees him.

As a princess and Qiao Erlang's wife, she shouldn't put on airs and should be treated with courtesy!

"Granddaughter-in-law meets grandmother!"

"Hey, hurry up and get up, Erlang is really too sympathetic. I just want to go home, and you, Princess, have to come to my house in person!"

"I am now the granddaughter-in-law of the Qiao family. Grandma, please don't be estranged from me!"

Qiao Xin smiled and patted her hands, saying, "Okay, okay, okay!"

Next, Qiao Xin met Sanniang and Liulang who stayed in the capital.

Qiao Sanniang has grown up now, into a young girl of her prime, slender and graceful, with black hair like ink and her bright eyes slightly curved. But at this moment, tears welled up in her eyes and she quickly threw herself into Qiao Xin's arms!

"grandmother!"

Liu Lang on the side was already stunned. His third sister, who was usually as fierce as a tigress in front of him, could actually act like a little bird one day!

Before he could come to his senses, he heard his grandmother greeting him.

"Liu Lang has also grown into a calf?"

Qiao Liulang chuckled and touched the back of his head, looking very silly.

"My aunt feeds me four meals a day!"

Everyone couldn't help but laugh at the childish words.

Qiao Xin touched his head and said, "When you are growing up, it is a blessing to be able to eat.

When your fifth brother was your age, he ate five meals a day and was very chubby.

Now he has grown into a handsome young man, very charming and dashing!"

Qiao Liulang's eyes lit up and he asked excitedly, "Really?"

"Of course it's true. When your second brother was your age, he looked like you now!"

Qiao Wulang's sensitive heart was healed instantly!

It turns out that my brother also had this side of him as he grew up!

Qiao Xin entered the mansion surrounded by everyone and asked about her eldest granddaughter along the way.

Xu smiled and said, "She is two months pregnant. She just happened to find out before the son-in-law took office. She didn't go with him and is now staying at home to take care of the baby!"

"If her health is important, don't let her run back and forth."

Everyone chatted and laughed for a while, and no one mentioned Zhang who was still on the farm!

I thought the family could have a good reunion dinner today, but not long after Qiao Xin entered the mansion, someone came from the palace.

When Eunuch Cao saw Qiao Xin, he became even more hunched over!

“I have met the old lady and learned that she was unwell on her way back to the capital. Your Majesty is very worried.

In compliance with His Majesty's order, we have specially asked the director of the Imperial Hospital to come and treat the old lady!"

"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. Please take a seat."

Qiao Xin stood up with the help of Nanny Qin, and sat on the cushioned seat brought by the servants. She straightened her back, stretched out her hand, and let the other party feel her pulse!

The last time it was the deputy director who rushed to the military camp to treat Qiao Xin.

When Emperor Wu fainted, no matter what the situation was, the Imperial Medical Bureau had to keep the director of the hospital by his side.

Now that she has returned to the capital, if she lets the dean, who has more sophisticated medical skills, take a look at her, she will have some idea of ​​what's going on!

The director took an unusually long time to feel the patient's pulse, and his expression became somewhat serious.

It took him a while to stand up and bow to Qiao Xin.

"The old lady's pulse is scattered, her qi and blood are insufficient, she has suffered from all kinds of fatigue and injuries, and because of overwork in her early years, her body has been severely damaged.

Now that I’m old, various diseases are slowly breaking out due to external factors!

You must cultivate yourself more in the future and not overwork yourself, otherwise it will harm your lifespan!"

When Xu heard this, her eyes went dark. She held her chest and fell back on the chair.

Qiao Xin......

Everyone hurriedly helped the man sit up, pinched his Ren Zhong acupoint, and gave him acupuncture. It took a long time to wake him up.

Qiao Xin really didn't expect that a few words from the imperial physician could scare her daughter-in-law to faint!

What kind of life this body originally lived? Need I even tell you?

Although life has been good in recent years, Qiao Xin has not been very peaceful and has been running around.

Besides, she had no intention of pursuing longevity!

Live one day at a time and let nature take its course.

It was beyond her expectation that the symptoms would only appear now!

Isn't birth, aging, sickness and death the natural course of human life? If she never got sick and didn't look old, countless dignitaries would probably want to capture her and slice her up for research, right?

But she didn't expect that the first person who couldn't accept it would be her daughter-in-law!
