Fu Lu took the lamb pancake in his hand and gave half to Qin Miaomiao.
“I haven’t seen you for a few days, how did you lose so much weight? No wonder many people say that you cried so hard because of the divorce!”
Qin miaomiao said, “You have two bodies, so I won’t fight with you for food. You Can Eat by yourself
“I lost a lot of weight because I had an illness these few days, but I’m much better now.”
Young Master Hong asked with concern, “What illness? Have you asked the imperial physician to take a look?
“Our Hong residence has a good relationship with the head of the courtyard. How about I bring you to the head of the courtyard’s residence to pay a visit?”
Hong Qifeng smiled at the side. “Brother, if Miss Qin’s body wasn’t that healthy, she wouldn’t have been able to play for so long. I finally understand what it means to be worried.”
Young Master Hong’s face turned red. “Qifeng, what nonsense are you talking about? I just…”
Young Master Hong had known Qin Miaomiao for a long time. However, at that time, Qin Miaomiao was the daughter of the High Duke. He was only the son of an official in the Eastern Palace and didn’t have much social interaction.
However, after strolling around today, Young Master Hong Liked Qin Miaomiao.
He had never seen such a gentle, virtuous, and knowledgeable woman like Qin Miaomiao.
Yue Zhan saw that young master Hong was bashful, and he felt a sense of discomfort gathering in his heart.
“Miaomiao, your body is not in good shape. It’s better for you to return to the manor to recuperate. Zhu’er has left.”
As he spoke, Yue Zhan held Qin Miaomiao’s wrist and walked towards the Yue residence.
Young Master Fu Lu, Hong, and the others were left behind.
Fu Lu looked at Qiao lui and said, “Did I not see wrongly that Yue Zhan held Qin Miaomiao’s hand just now?
He just gave cousin Jing Hua a hairpin, and now he’s holding Qin Miao’s hand when he turns around?”
Qiao lui said, “I think so.”
Qin Miao followed Yue Zhan’s strides and almost could not keep up with him. His steps were too big, and he had no choice but to jog to keep up with Yue Zhan.
“Slow down, general Yue.”
Yue Zhan walked to a bridge and ordered the guards to send Yue Zhu back to the Yue residence first.
There were lights by the bridge today. The willow trees by the side were also covered with paper lanterns, as bright as day.
Yue Zhan said to Qin Miao unhappily, “You have only known young master Hong for a short while, why are you smiling so brightly at him?
“Do you think the Hong family will allow the eldest son of the first wife to marry an orphan girl now that they have just obtained the position of Emperor’s Teacher?”
Qin Miao Miao’s lips curled slightly. “In three days, won’t the Yue residence invite the guests to acknowledge me as their goddaughter?
When that time comes, I won’t be an orphan anymore. The marriage between the Hong and Yue families…”
Yue Zhan frowned and said, “Don’t be shy. Young Master Hong didn’t even say he wanted to marry you.”
Qin miaomiao said, “I know.”
“Then don’t smile so frivolously at others in the future. My Yue family’s daughter should have the bearing of a martial general’s daughter.”
Yue Zhan didn’t like Qin Miaomiao smiling at other men like that at all.
Today was the Lantern Festival, and it was also a good day for men and women to date. There were several couples of lovers on the bridge.
Yue Zhan felt a little embarrassed when he saw the intimacy between the men and women, but he forgot that his hand was still holding Qin Miaomiao’s wrist, never letting go.
Qin Miaomiao stared at the long and slender hand that was holding a thin layer of cocoon on her wrist, and she felt her heart beat like a drum.
It was as if Yue Zhan had emerged from the darkness that day, dispelling her fear and fear.
For the first time, Qin Miaomiao experienced what Fu Lu had described as the attraction between a man and a woman.
The second round of fireworks in the imperial palace was about to bloom again. Many people stopped and watched, but Qin Miaomiao felt that the blazing trees and silver flowers in the sky could not even compare to the towering figure in front of her.
..
On the 16th day of the first lunar month, the morning court that had been closed for a long time was reopened. For a time, Chang ‘an was busy again.
Qiao Jinniang was free. All the concubines in the six palaces had gone out of the palace. The Shang Palace was in charge of the affairs of the Shang Palace, so there was little need for her to take a look.
After all, Qiao Jinniang was the only master of the six palaces now. All the tricks and tricks that used to be used in the palace were unnecessary now.
Several shops in Chang ‘an city had also become official. Now, she only needed to study some new dishes.
In the afternoon, she received an invitation from Qin Miaomiao, ordering him to enter the palace.
After entering the palace, Qin Miaomiao first thanked Qiao Jinniang for sending white sashimi to take care of her, and then said,
“I would like to ask the empress to give me a marriage decree.”
Qiao Jinniang smiled lightly and said: “I wonder which Langjun is so blessed?”
Qin Miaomiao lowered his head and said: “It’s Yue Zhan.”
Qiao jinniang said: “Old Madam Yue has already begged me twice to bestow a marriage upon Yue Zhan. Didn’t you not want to marry Yue Zhan previously?
But for old madam Yue to enter the palace because of your serious illness, you are willing to marry Yue Zhan for old madam Yue?”
Qin Miao hastily said, “No, that’s not it. It’s because I like him.”
Qin Miao did not need to hide anything in front of Qiao Jinniang. He told her the truth:
“In the past, I always could not understand the husband and wife relationship that Jing Hua spoke of. I also could not understand why the prince consort of Qin was willing to give up the position of Duke for the sake of the princess. Now I understand…”
Qiao jinniang said, “Then what about Yue Zhan? is he willing to marry you?”
Qin Miao lowered his head and thought about how Yue Zhan had walked over happily when he saw Jing Hua yesterday. He said softly,
“He should not be willing to marry me. He only has eldest Princess Jing Hua in his heart. It’s just that the date of eldest Princess Jing Hua’s marriage has already been set..
“I’m afraid there’s no hope for the two of them…”
Lady Qiao took a sip of hot tea and said, “I can issue a marriage decree, but it’s just a small one. I’m afraid that if he doesn’t like you, you will suffer even more grievance.
“Your marriage to Lin Mo is a partnership, but if you are moved, there is another person in your husband’s heart. In the future, I’m afraid he will only be wronged. My mother is a good example.”
“Thank you for your advice, Your Highness. I know in my heart that I only wish to be by his side.”
Qiao Jinniang ordered Hong Ling to invite the provincial officials and wrote a marriage decree.
..
After Qin Miaomiao returned to the Yue residence, he went to old madam Yue’s room.
Qin Miaomiao said to old madam Yue, “Old Madam, today, I ventured into the palace to request an imperial decree from the Empress.”
Old madam Yue asked, “What imperial decree?”
Qin miaomiao said shyly, “It’s an imperial decree to bestow a marriage upon me and Yue Zhan. It should be able to come tomorrow.”
Old Madam Yue held Qin Miaomiao’s hand. She had the same concerns as Lady Qiao:
“Silly child, if it’s to repay your kindness, you don’t have to put yourself through this. Yue Zhan only has peace in his heart. Don’t put yourself through this.”
Qin miaomiao said, “I’m not putting myself through this. I’m really willing to marry Yue Zhan. He has already saved me twice. That day, I killed myself. If it wasn’t for him saving my life, I would have died…”
Old Madam Yue was naturally happy to have such a daughter-in-law. “Please bless the ancestors of the Yue family. In the future, when you enter our Yue residence, I will definitely treat you like my own mother.”
Qin Miaomiao sat beside Old Madam Yue and threw herself into her embrace. She called out sweetly, “Mother.”
Old Madam Yue was much better than Madam Lin.
Yue Zhan had been restless in the study. Occasionally, Qin Miaomiao’s figure would appear when he was reading.
He closed his book, closed his eyes, and massaged his temples. He wondered if he was sick?
Perhaps he would not be sick after the banquet on the 18th of the first lunar month. At that time, Qin Miaomiao would be his godsister..
