Scrophularia has been missing in the space for over a year.
Li Lanzhen watched as several people from An Yi's training camps searched the world every day, and the Emperor Emeritus also mobilized his own secret guards to search.
Bai Houpu and Manager Hua grew thinner and thinner day by day...
Fortunately, no one knew that Xuan Shen had come looking for her on the day she disappeared, otherwise she would have been unable to explain herself no matter how hard she tried.
That year, the weather remained favorable, and Taohuayuan had a bumper harvest of grain, with the grain output of Lishu Village doubling compared to the previous year.
The Emperor married Empress Yu Yanran, the eldest daughter of Minister Yu of the Ministry of Rites. Empress Yu was a talented woman who was well-versed in the Four Books and Five Classics and proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting. The reason why the Emperor chose Yu Yanran as Empress was that she knew martial arts and was fond of farming.
Li Lanzhen also learned about Yu Yanran's situation. If she hadn't spoken with the girl, she would have thought she was another time traveler.
One month after the Emperor's wedding, he bestowed a marriage upon Han Yinan.
The woman he married was Yu Yiran, the second daughter of Lord Yu. After their marriage, she returned to Peach Blossom Spring to visit her family.
Li Lanzhen took a liking to this eldest grandson's wife the moment she met her.
He has bright and cheerful features, an outgoing personality, and loves to laugh.
During the six days I was here, I couldn't stay at home. I followed Li Lanzhen around the Grand Canyon or went with her to Youzhou City to check out the shops.
Li Lanzhen secretly rejoiced that her eldest grandson had married a good wife, which was a great blessing. At the same time, she also complained in her heart that the emperor was scheming and cunning!
He married a girl from Lord Yu's family and then arranged for his eldest grandson to marry a girl from Lord Yu's family as well. In this way, he and his eldest grandson became brothers-in-law, sharing both honor and disgrace, and were inextricably linked.
As expected, royalty is ruthless!
To Li Lanzhen's surprise, Lu Boyan's daughter, Tingyu, entered the palace and became a concubine.
Alas, I wonder if they were willing to marry her or if the emperor forced them into it.
Fortunately, before this, Li Lanzhen, after hearing Han Mingxiang's hint, quickly agreed to what Bai Houpu had asked in private: he wanted to ask his grandson to marry his eldest granddaughter, Miaomiao Han Nian'an.
The two families exchanged betrothal gifts and set a date, waiting for Xuan Shen to return so the marriage could take place.
It's another autumn day, a sunny day.
Li Lanzhen returned from the wheat field feeling tired. After having lunch at the canteen, she went back to her courtyard, sat on a rocking chair under a big tree, covered her face with a large palm-leaf fan, and let the scorching sunlight filter through the branches, casting dappled light on her body.
She sighed inwardly, thinking that this ginseng had most likely gone to the places where it had lived.
Why didn't it just die and go back on its own?
At that moment, Li Lanzhen had no idea that she was already buried in the ground in that place.
Just as Li Lanzhen was about to fall asleep, she felt a vibration in the space. When she went in to check, she found that the space had expanded by more than double.
A large shopping mall, over ten stories high, stood steadily in the space, empty except for goods...
What shocked her even more was that the warehouse was completely full of things. Li Lanzhen swallowed hard.
It contained various firearms and ammunition, five military vehicles, agricultural machinery, and countless drones...
Before they could recover from the shock, the courtyard gate was gently pushed open, and a familiar voice rang out.
"Mom, I'm home."
Li Lanzhen was so startled that she immediately stood up, still holding a large palm-leaf fan in her hand.
He stared wide-eyed at Xuan Shen standing in front of him. Xuan Shen had a buzz cut, a more robust build, wore camouflage clothing, and carried a training bag on his back.
She asked in confusion, "Xuanshen, what did you just call me? Mom?"
“Yes, Mom. I’ve been away for three years and I’m back today. Look, this is my husband, Zhao Banxia. Banxia. This is our son, Bai Zixuan.”
Li Lanzhen then noticed a girl with long hair standing next to him, wearing a white shirt and a blue denim skirt.
Seeing Li Lanzhen looking over, she called out with a smile, "Mom, we're back."
The little boy ran over and hugged Li Lanzhen's leg, "Grandma, we're finally back! Dad didn't lie to us!"
Li Lanzhen truly felt the soft body of the child who called her grandma, bent down to pick her up, and looked at the face that was extremely similar to Xuan Shen's.
"Come on in, since you're home."
As Li Lanzhen stepped out of the tree's shade, she immediately felt the scorching sun's rays, which felt like burning threads pulling at her entire body.
(The End)
