Traveling through famine years, peasant girls hold space in their hands to store food

Chapter 837 The imperial edict arrives

When Yu Niang heard the noise, she quickly got up from the imperial concubine's couch, and the little maid stepped forward to help the second lady.

I saw my daughter running in from outside crying.

"What's wrong? What's going on?"

Seeing her daughter just hugging her and crying, Yu Niang frowned with an anxious look on her face, and asked angrily towards the maid behind her daughter: "Tell me, what is going on, what wrong has Xi'er suffered?" ?”

Xiaoya glanced at her young lady, then lowered her head and said hesitantly: "Go back to the second madam, young lady..."

"Uuuu... Auntie, my daughter is no longer alive. Not only was she humiliated by that bitch Ouyang Ruolan, but she was also humiliated by a dead eunuch."

Listening to her daughter's few words, Yu Niang pulled her to sit down and asked anxiously what was going on.

Just then, the maid outside knocked on the door and came in. She anxiously said to the mother and daughter that there was an imperial edict coming from the palace ahead.

When Yu Niang was wondering what the imperial edict was, she heard the daughter beside her crying even more fiercely.

"Mmmmm..."

The maid told the reason in Yu Niang's gloomy eyes.

"The emperor has decreed that the eldest lady be canonized as Concubine Lan, and she will enter the palace on a certain day."

When Yu Niang heard this, she stood up suddenly. The maid beside her quickly stepped forward to support her and reminded her that the lady was still pregnant with a child, so be careful.

Only then did Yu Niang touch her belly with worried eyes.

At this time, the eldest lady and Lord Ouyang in the front yard looked at the imperial edict on the table, their eyes filled with joy.

Mrs. Ouyang shed tears silently and whispered to her daughter that she finally got her wish, but...

Lord Ouyang on the side glanced at her coldly, and then said in a deep voice: "As a woman, it is a great honor to be able to accompany you to the palace no matter what."

Seeing the sorrow on the face of the main wife, she waved her sleeves and left with displeasure.

The nun beside Mrs. Ouyang leaned over and persuaded the master: "Madam, it's better not to worry. No matter what, the eldest lady saved the emperor. For this reason, the emperor will not treat the young lady wrong."

Mrs. Ouyang murmured softly with hope in her eyes, is this really the case? I hope Lan'er can really make it through, it's better than staying in this impersonal mansion.

At this time, Lu Qingqing and the others had already left the palace.

"Chu Haochen, when are we going back to Dayuan?"

Lu Qingqing was sitting on the carriage and was held in Chu Haochen's arms, asking softly.

Chu Haochen pondered for a moment and told Lu Qingqing that they would discuss the matter after returning to the princess' mansion first.

As he said this, the carriage soon arrived in front of the princess's mansion, and Lu Qingqing took Lu Qingqing out of the carriage.

Ziyao had already knocked on the door at this time, and the boy guarding the door immediately stepped forward to salute when he saw the visitor.

"This servant has seen the princess and the consort. The old master and the others are waiting for the princess and the consort."

After saying that, he led people into the mansion.

In the front hall, Mr. Lu and his son were drinking tea. The Liu family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law came to the side and looked outside, saying to Qingqing that it was time for them to come.

"Old Master, the princess and the consort have arrived."

Hearing what the boy said, Mrs. Lu quickly ordered Grandma Qi to tell the kitchen to make them something fresh and strange for dinner.

"Grandpa, grandma, Qingqing is here."

As soon as Lu Qingqing entered the front hall, she shouted towards the inside. Chu Haochen on the side showed a slight smile on his lips and followed her.

Seeing her daughter's face glowing red, Ms. Liu breathed a sigh of relief.

"Come back, come back. Let's play a game of chess with my grandfather in Haochen. Your father's chess plan is too bad."

Mr. Lu looked at Chu Haochen who walked in and shouted.

I saw him saluting Mr. Lu and everyone, then walked forward and sat down opposite Mr. Lu.

"Okay, then Haochen will accompany his grandfather to kill two games."

Lu Jiang finally breathed a sigh of relief. It would be great to have someone to take over. He was getting scolded by his father while playing chess, and his head was getting big.

Lu Qingqing smiled slightly and sat down next to her grandmother.

"Grandma, Chu Haochen and I just came out of the palace and rushed here. I miss my grandma."

Old Mrs. Lu laughed angrily. It had only been two or three days before she missed her. This little mouth was getting better and better at talking.

Lu Qingqing leaned on her grandmother's shoulder like a baby.

At this time, Chu Haochen was playing chess and discussing with Mr. Lu about returning to Dayuan.

Mr. Lu pondered for a moment, then stroked his beard and said, if everything here is settled, he should return to Dayuan as soon as possible.

Anping and Chu Haochen were both rushing to join the army, and the emperor was still waiting for the army to return in triumph.

At this time, Chu Haochen also revealed to Mr. Lu that after returning to Dayuan to handle everything, they wanted to go to southern Xinjiang. Then the three children at home would have to be looked after by the two families.

"You don't need to tell me this. If you have anything to do, just go. But you must protect Qingqing when you are outside, otherwise grandpa will not agree."

Chu Haochen nodded heavily, saying that he would bring Qingqing back intact to reassure his grandfather.

At this time, there was still some time before night, and Lu Qingqing felt a little sleepy.

Mrs. Lu and Mrs. Liu looked at each other, looked at the darkness in her eyes and shook their heads, telling her to go back to the yard to rest first, and they would call her for dinner.

"Then grandma, mother, I will go back first."

As she said this, she glanced at Chu Haochen who was fighting fiercely with her grandfather, then turned around and walked towards the backyard with Ziyao.

"Ziyao, please go down first. I'll go to bed and call me later."

Ziyao felt blessed and walked towards the guard room next door. Lu Qingqing opened the door and walked straight towards the big bed in the inner room.

Seeing the bed, she unconsciously raised the corners of her lips, "Here comes the bed."

After saying that, he threw off his shoes and rushed forward, pulled the quilt and covered himself.

Last night, I was tortured by Chu Haochen so much that I went to bed very late. I was picked up before I woke up in the morning. In fact, I was working hard while in the palace.

She didn't know she had slept until very late, until Chu Haochen woke her up.

"Qing'er, wake up."

Lu Qingqing vaguely heard Chu Haochen's cry and asked in a low voice what time it was.

"It's time for little piggy to have dinner." Chu Haochen reached out and pinched her nose.

"Well...Chu Haochen..."

Lu Qingqing screamed in dissatisfaction, then slowly sat up, and was pulled by Chu Haochen to sit in front of the bronze mirror.

He picked up the comb on the table and helped Lu Qingqing rearrange her hair. This was a novelty for Lu Qingqing.

"When did you learn this?"

Chu Haochen smiled and said nothing, and carefully helped her comb her hair. Finally, he simply pulled her hair into a bun and inserted a hosta into it. He looked at the little woman in the bronze mirror and nodded with satisfaction.

"Okay! Qing'er, are you satisfied?"

Lu Qingqing looked around and asked sourly who he had combed before and how he was so skillful.

Chu Haochen reached out and pinched the tip of her nose, and explained softly that he had never tied anyone else's hair.
