When Madam Qian heard what Wang Ruowen said, she suddenly felt unhappy, but the person in front of her was not her brother, but her younger nephew.
So Madam Qian didn't know what to say and could only be depressed. However, when she thought about finally leaving this broken family temple, she was naturally happy in her heart.
And the first thing she would do when she returned was to find trouble with Qian Jiujiu and make sure she would make things difficult for him. Well, it was decided. After she returned, she would hold a party first.
No, this cannot be done. First, bring her daughter back, and then hold a banquet. Madam Qian already had the answer in her mind, and then she slowly planned in her heart.
Wang Ruowen looked at his aunt and finally stopped saying such things, and he felt much better. Of course, he was not doing this to stand up for Qian Jiujiu.
Instead, he felt that Madam Qian's words were insulting: "Aunt, are you ready? If you are, we will set off."
Madam Qian was eager to leave here quickly, so she nodded naturally: "There's nothing to pack, let's go now."
The group took their luggage and spent a day returning to Minister Qian's mansion. Looking at the familiar plants and trees in the mansion, Madam Qian felt much more relieved.
Minister Qian looked at his wife and said, "Madam, you are back."
Madam Qian hummed, "Yes, Master, I am back. I am sorry for the hardship you have endured during this period."
Wang Ruowen felt uncomfortable listening to what the couple said. He coughed twice and said, "Aunt and uncle must have a lot to say. If that's the case, I'll take my leave now."
Watching Wang Ruowen leave, Madam Qian sighed, "Is Wen'er the only one here this time? I wonder if Yuge has made arrangements as he said."
Minister Qian looked at Madam Qian and said, "Madam, don't worry. I think Wen'er is quite capable. He must have made arrangements. Now that you are back, do you want to invite people to your house to liven things up?"
Madam Qian shook her head: "That's not necessary. I have already thought about it. When Yuge comes back, I will invite everyone to come and taste tea."
Minister Qian looked at Madam Qian and felt that she had already made up her mind. However, he was still a little confused. When would Qian Yuge come back
During dinner time, Madam Qian got the news from Wang Ruowen. It was the day Qian Yuge would return in two days at most. Madam Qian was shocked.
Two days later, the Queen Mother will return to Beijing. Could it be that...
Xiao Wangfu also received the news that the Queen Mother would return to the capital in two days. The Emperor personally sent someone to tell them, and after Qian Jiujiu received the news.
He started preparing a batch of health pills and special facial masks in his own pharmacy as gifts for the Queen Mother.
As for the birthday gift, it was already prepared. It was the local Buddhist scriptures that she had memorized. The other gifts she prepared were for Mu Yexiao.
No one knew about it, and two days passed in the blink of an eye. Early this morning, after Mu Yexiao went to the morning court, Qian Jiujiu was called up by Hong Ling.
Then she began to dress up, wearing the formal attire of a princess, and tidying herself up neatly, and went to the city gate to wait for the Queen Mother to return to the capital.
Just when Qian Jiujiu was ready, Mu Yexiao came over in his wheelchair, "Your Highness, are you leaving the court so early today?"
Mu Yexiao nodded: "Yes, my father asked me to go to the city gate to welcome the Queen Mother back to the capital, you go with me."
Qian Jiujiu nodded, and after the two of them were ready, they went towards the city gate. Standing at the city gate, looking at the freezing weather outside, Qian Jiujiu felt a little cold.
"Jiu'er, are you cold? Why don't you go to the carriage and wait for a while? I'll call you after you see the Queen Mother's procession."
Qian Jiujiu shook her head: "That's not necessary. It would be so insincere. When the Queen Mother comes back, she will be able to see the procession. Wouldn't that mean she will see everything I did in the carriage?"
"I'm worried that the Queen Mother might have some thoughts in her mind by then."
After listening to it, Mu Yexiao felt that it made sense, so he stopped insisting. Fortunately, the two of them didn't have to wait too long before they saw the Queen Mother's procession arriving in the distance.
Slowly he came in front of the two people. Because of his legs, Mu Yexiao naturally did not kneel down, which made Qian Jiujiu suffer. It was so cold. He was kneeling on the ground.
Qian Jiujiu couldn't help but complain in her heart. After kneeling on the ground, she was afraid that her knees would hurt for several days. She felt a little depressed in her heart. This ancient etiquette was simply too annoying.
He was ready to kneel down at any moment. He thought so in his heart, but he shouted respectfully: "Welcome the Queen Mother back to the capital..."
After Mu Yexiao and Qian Jiujiu finished speaking, the door of the carriage inside the Queen Mother's guard of honor suddenly opened, and an unexpected person came out.
That was Qian Yuge who was supposed to be chanting in the Dahongbao Temple. Qian Yuge looked at Qian Jiujiu and Mu Yexiao with a proud face: "Prince Xiao, Princess Xiao, please get up quickly."
When Qian Jiujiu heard this, she couldn't help but feel angry. It sounded as if she, Qian Jiujiu, was kneeling down to Qian Yuge. What's wrong with this queen dowager
Even Mu Yexiao's expression was very ugly, and he somewhat blamed the Queen Mother, and then he listened to Qian Yuge continue talking.
"The Queen Mother has pity on you. It's freezing cold, so don't kneel on the ground. Wait until you return to the palace before you come to see me."
After saying this, Qian Yuge glanced at Mu Yexiao and Qian Jiujiu with a proud look, and then closed the car door.
Qian Jiujiu and Mu Yexiao looked at each other, and Qian Jiujiu snorted in her heart: Is this the empress dowager who has something in mind that you mentioned
Mu Yexiao was full of anger, but he showed it at this moment. He looked at Qian Jiujiu apologetically, and Qian Jiujiu immediately gave up the idea of giving him a gift.
Seeing that the Empress Dowager's procession had just thrown them aside and walked straight past, Qian Jiujiu stood up from the ground. Hongling, who was standing by, saw this.
He immediately came over to help Qian Jiujiu up: "Princess, are you okay?"
Qian Jiujiu shook her head: "I'm fine, but Hongling, you should go back to the mansion now and replace the things I made last night with the things that Shengyan Hall usually sells."
When Hong Ling heard this, she glanced at Mu Yexiao. Mu Yexiao didn't say anything, so Hong Ling turned around and left. Qian Jiujiu was thinking, since the Queen Mother didn't take her seriously.
There was no need for her to go to such lengths to curry favor with someone she liked, as long as she was polite and there was nothing wrong with it.
In fact, even if there is a difference in etiquette, so what? After all, everyone knows that she is just a girl who grew up in the countryside. Unfortunately, she has pushed herself to a high position recently.
It doesn't mean people think she is being rude. There are indeed pros and cons. But I didn't expect the disadvantages to appear so soon. It's really unbearable.
After the empress dowager's procession passed by, Mu Yexiao and Qian Jiujiu also got on the prince's carriage and went to the palace. At the palace gate, the emperor and the empress were there.
When the two people looked ahead and found that Qian Jiujiu and Mu Yexiao were not there, they couldn't help but look at each other. What was going on
But now was not the time to worry about these things, so he had to step forward and look at the Queen Mother's procession: "Your son respectfully welcomes mother back to the palace."
The door of the Queen Mother's carriage was opened again, and then Qian Yuge stepped out, followed by the Queen Mother's personal nanny, and then the two of them helped the Queen Mother down.
The empress dowager was wearing her formal attire. She looked dignified and majestic, and her face didn't look old at all. If Qian Jiujiu saw her, she would definitely be surprised.
The Queen Mother was also a person who had the secret to maintaining her youthful appearance. After getting off the carriage, she came to the Emperor's side and said, "My son, please get up soon. We haven't seen each other for half a year."
The emperor immediately said yes: "Yes, how has the Queen Mother been doing in the past six months?"
The Queen Mother smiled and said, "Of course I am doing well. Your Majesty, thank you for your concern. Let's go. Don't gather here. Let's go into the palace."
The group headed towards the Queen Mother's palace. The Queen looked at her curiously and said, "Mother, didn't Prince Xiao and Princess Xiao go to greet you?"
The Queen Mother was stunned for a moment, then her face turned cold: "Yes, just now at the city gate, someone knelt down, I asked Ge'er to send him away, let's go, let's go into the palace."
The Queen's expression was a little unhappy. She glanced at Qian Yuge, coughed twice, and recognized that it was Qian Yuge. I just don't know if the Emperor recognized her
Just when he was wondering whether he should say it or not, he heard Concubine Qing's voice: "Isn't this Qian Yuge, the daughter of the Qian family? Your Majesty, when have you ever been able to break your promise?"
"You asked Qian Yuge to reflect on his sins in the temple. How long has it been since then? And now he shows up in the palace in such a brazen manner."
Concubine Qing actually knew that she shouldn't have made a scene here, but when she thought about what the old aunt of the empress dowager had just said, her son and his wife were going to pick up her old man.
She actually let Qian Yuge send them away, not giving her grandchildren any face. This really made her very angry, and she didn't care about anything else. At this time, she just couldn't let Qian Yuge be happy.
When Qian Yuge heard this, her eyes suddenly turned and she looked at the Queen Mother innocently. The Queen Mother snorted coldly: "Noble Concubine Qing, do you have a problem with me?"
"When the Ai family was in the Dahongbao Temple, it was thanks to Ge'er's help. Otherwise, I might not have been able to come back. Concubine Qing, what do you mean?"
"You wish I wouldn't come back, don't you? You started to find fault with me the moment I came back. Your Majesty, if you don't welcome me back to the palace, you can just say so."
"I will leave now and go to the Dahongbao Temple to continue worshipping Buddha."
The emperor's face suddenly looked a little unhappy. When Concubine Qing said that, he recognized that the little girl was Qian Yuge. When he saw that the empress dowager was about to leave, he suddenly felt overwhelmed.
