Chapter 346: No Need to Tell the Women in the Back House
Here the aunt and sister-in-law were talking affectionately when a little palace maid came in and said that the emperor was coming.
The two looked at each other and couldn't help but be a little surprised.
When the concubines in the harem met their family members outside the palace, the emperor generally would not come over to avoid suspicion because they were all women.
"Hahaha... I heard that my beloved concubine has guests, so I stopped by to take a look."
As the voice fell, a figure in bright yellow clothes came in quickly, followed by a group of ten or so eunuchs, all of whom were waved away by him and left outside the yard.
"I have met your Majesty..."
"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you..."
The aunt and sister-in-law in the room had no choice but to step forward and pay their respects.
"My beloved concubine, please get up. Princess Ning, there is no need to be polite. Please take a seat."
The emperor was very kind. He quickly reached out to support Concubine Jing who was stepping forward to pay her respects, and also offered a seat to Princess Ning.
"I have heard about what happened at home. I never thought that a family as rich and powerful as Prince Ning's would have such a bloodline confusion..."
The emperor sighed and said that he had naturally sent people to investigate the matter of Prince Ning's Mansion. He had no doubt about the truth of this matter.
"Don't worry, even though the old lady let that person go out of her heart, the Liu family has been implicated by her and will never be able to get ahead again. This can be considered as a way to relieve the suffering that the third brother has endured for so many years."
The third brother mentioned by the emperor was naturally Xu Qinghe.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
She didn't expect that the emperor, who was so busy with all kinds of affairs, would actually care about such a small matter. Although Princess Ning was a little surprised, she still hurried to thank him.
"But the truth has been revealed. I heard that Xu Qinghe has been re-inscribed into the family tree. Why didn't he return to live with us?"
The emperor frowned, thinking of Xu Qinghe, who was knowledgeable, talented and somewhat honest. He thought that the Ning Palace looked down on him because he was a peasant, and wanted to say a few more words to help.
"Your Majesty, this matter was discussed by mother and the third son's family. First, they have been living outside for many years and are not very familiar with their family. They would feel uncomfortable living together rashly. Second, the third son's wife just gave birth to twins, so it is not appropriate for her to move for the time being..."
Princess Ning was also afraid that the emperor would misunderstand her, so she quickly told him the whole story.
"The most important thing is, I wonder if Your Majesty has heard that the third daughter-in-law is a disciple of the Divine Doctor Sect and the last disciple of Divine Doctor Yang. Naturally, she will inherit her master's legacy and carry forward the Divine Doctor Sect... It will be more convenient for her to live outside..."
I heard that the pharmacy has been prepared and now it can open for business after Cui recovers.
"So that's how it is. I didn't expect that Xu Qinghe would have a blessing in disguise. If he hadn't been swapped out to the countryside, he wouldn't have had such great luck."
The emperor sighed, and Concubine Jing and Princess Ning looked at each other and nodded in agreement.
Who can tell whether it is fate or not?
All I can say is that all this was arranged by God, and Xu Qinghe was destined to go through this disaster.
I thought the emperor really came to visit, but after asking a few more questions about Xu Qinghe's family affairs, the emperor took out a letter from his sleeve and placed it on the table in front of him.
"Princess Ning, please take a look. This is great news."
The emperor couldn't help but smile with relief. Concubine Jing leaned over to take a look. When she saw the familiar handwriting on the envelope, she couldn't help but shed tears again.
Even though he had just learned the news about his eldest brother, he still couldn't help but feel excited.
"This...this is..."
Xu Jinren is now a general guarding the border, so news about him cannot be discussed casually, especially in the current situation. They cannot be the first to know something that the emperor doesn't know.
Compared to Concubine Jing's true feelings, Princess Ning needs some acting skills, but this is not a difficult task for her.
"He...really found it?"
Princess Ning's face was filled with surprise, and her tears were falling like beads from a broken string.
"Excuse me, Your Majesty, does the prince...does he..."
In order not to reveal the truth in front of the emperor, Princess Ning covered her face with a handkerchief and soon burst into tears.
"My eldest brother was really found? He wasn't hurt, was he?"
Concubine Jing's eyes were red from crying and she asked with sobs.
"Don't worry, my beloved concubine. Your brother is fine. Nothing has happened to him. He will probably be able to return to the capital soon. I will accompany you back to see him then..."
The emperor carefully wiped away the tears from Concubine Jing's eyes, and comforted her softly. Then he turned to Princess Ning and said with a smile:
"The men in Prince Ning's Mansion are all fine. You can all rest assured now. When you go back, talk to the old lady and make her happy..."
The emperor was very happy that the Xu family members had made great contributions at the border this time. It was just a matter of accompanying Concubine Jing back to take a look. What was wrong with that?
Ever since he received the report from the border, he quickly summoned several of his trusted ministers to the palace to discuss matters concerning the Northern Di.
Looking at the current situation, we may be able to defeat Beidi in one fell swoop. However, if we really do it, we will find that things are not that simple.
The entire Beidi territory is very large. In addition to bordering the Yuan Dynasty, it also intersects with two other countries.
One is Dongling Kingdom, and the other is Beirong Kingdom.
They also have frequent contacts with Beidi. It is said that several concubines of the current King of Beidi are from the royal families of Dongling and Beirong.
Therefore, if something really happens to Beidi, no matter for public or private reasons, people from both countries will not stand idly by.
However, these matters are naturally taken care of by the men, so there is no need to tell the women in the backyard.
The couple was talking affectionately, and Princess Ning felt embarrassed to stay any longer. She gave Princess Jing a look that told her to take care of herself, then took her leave and left the palace.
Soon it was already February. As the temperature gradually warmed up, the mountains of snow began to melt. Then several heavy rains fell, and the temperature became even colder.
"If it rains again, the people will probably suffer again."
Xu Qinghe and Cui stood under the eaves together, looking at the rain in front of them, they were both a little worried.
I don't know what God is thinking. Sometimes it doesn't rain for half a year, which makes people die of thirst. Now the drought has just passed and the people haven't had time to eat a full meal, but it started raining so heavily again.
"It's going to rain, and there's nothing anyone can do about it."
Cui was thinking about what her daughter had said before, that the rain would continue for quite some time.
The snow on the ground melted faster due to the heavy rain and was soon washed into the ditch nearby.
