  The Xiliang Kingdom was willing to bow down to the emperor. The emissary brought many tributes to Chang ‘an to meet the emperor of the Heaven Dynasty. The wedding date between Princess Xiliang and Little Prince Rong had also arrived. Princess Xiliang sat on the soft sedan chair and only used a wedding fan to cover her face. Many people stopped to watch the scene. “Princess Xiliang is extremely beautiful. The crown prince is really not blessed. Such a beautiful woman actually benefits little Prince Rong!” “Princess Xiliang is also a smart person. From the start, she didn’t keep saying that she wanted to marry the crown prince. Those women who said that they wanted to marry the crown prince didn’t even have a good ending! Now that all of them are dead, I think the crown prince is against women!” “Stop talking nonsense. You Don’t want to live anymore.” “It’s not that I’m talking nonsense. Now, the rumors are spreading like this. At the start, they were saying that they wanted to marry the crown prince’s Qiao family’s first daughter, Qiao Ruoshui. In the end, what a tragic end. She died without a burial ground!”! After that, Li Lingling even had her family confiscated. Zhou Sisi’s family was also confiscated. Her entire family was wiped out. This was even the Empress’maiden family! There were also the officials who had been preparing to enter the palace recently. Their elder brothers were all arrested. Even their father’s official position was demoted.” “Oh right, even Xie Yun couldn’t avoid it. Initially, everyone said that she was going to enter the eastern palace as a side concubine. However, under everyone’s watchful eyes, she fell off the cliff. I don’t believe that this woman isn’t the Crown Prince’s concubine!” Someone asked curiously, “How could this be? She should be the concubine of the crown prince who married the crown prince. How could she be the concubine of a woman who wanted to be the crown prince?” “Who said that the crown prince’s concubine wasn’t restrained? Not long after the crown prince’s concubine married the Crown Prince in Lin ‘an, her adoptive parents passed away one after another. Isn’t this restrained enough?” “In that case, it makes sense……” “Now, in the entire Chang ‘an city, who doesn’t fear death and dares to think of becoming the Crown Princess’Consort?” “Xie Yun’s body isn’t even cold yet. Her death can be considered as a warning to all the women in Chang ‘an!” …… Rong Xiaojun’s Prince got married. Although Qiao Jinniang was pregnant, she also went to join in the fun. It was really boring to stay in the eastern palace to nurse her fetus. She was resting in a pavilion when she heard a few girls talking behind the rockery. “My mother told me not to think about marrying the crown prince in the Eastern Palace. The Crown Prince’s life is too tough. Those girls who want to marry the crown prince won’t have a good ending.” “That’s true. Xie Yun was fine a while ago, but the people just said that she was going to become the crown prince’s side concubine and fell off a cliff. It’s better to stay away from the crown prince in the future!” “However, throughout Chang ‘an, the crown prince is so brilliant and handsome that even women can’t compare to him. He is also very powerful. Are you really willing to give up on becoming the crown prince’s concubine for this unreliable theory of Fate?” “I want my life more. Besides, the Crown Prince and the Crown Prince’s concubine are so affectionate. We might not be favored even if we enter the Palace!” “That’s not necessarily true! The imperial consort is already so old. How can she be as beautiful as us when she’s Old?” “You’re going to die anyway. Don’t Drag US along! Tong Yingying, Zhou Sisi has implicated the entire family…… If you insist on doing things your way, we’d better cut ties as soon as possible!” “That’s right. If you have the ability, say such words in front of your parents. Let’s see if they won’t beat you to death.” Lady Qiao Jin listened to the words of the fourteen or fifteen-year-old young ladies behind the rockery and smiled gently. She finally understood why Lu Chen wanted Xie Yun to be the crown prince’s side concubine. Qiao Ruoyun said softly, “These young ladies are too rude!” Lady Qiao Jin said, “That’s right. I’m only twenty years old and they’re already saying that I’m getting old and my looks are fading. I still think that they’re all little girls!” Qiao Ruoyun only smiled gently. “That’s right. In terms of looks, no matter how young they are, they can’t compare to you.” Lady Qiao Jin asked Qiao Ruoyun, “How’s the discussion between Qian Yin and you?” Qiao Ruoyun lowered her eyes shyly. “Marriage matters are governed by father and mother.” Lady Qiao Jin spoke sincerely to Qiao Ruoyun, “Father may be concerned about the fact that the marriage between the Qiao family and the Wu Imperial residence would attract a lot of attention. However, I will persuade father to agree to this matter. I Won’t let you lose your happiness because of this. However, the Qian family still has Zhou Shihui. She may cause trouble. From what Qian Yin has said, she wants to marry into the family. You must let this niece leave the Qian Estate for another time. Otherwise, you won’t be a match for her. Also, please take good care of the hundred savory restaurant in Jiangnan, glutinous rice, and glutinous Rice’s mother. I’m in Chang ‘an. Even if I can communicate, there will be times when I can’t make it back.” Qiao Ruoyun replied, “Don’t worry, I’ll take good care of glutinous rice.” “Also, don’t pay any attention to those relatives of the Qiao family. The Qian Estate and the Qiao family are not afraid of losing this reputation. Qian Yin doesn’t care about your past and is willing to marry you. Naturally, he won’t care about those relatives who don’t have anything to do with you……” Qiao Jinniang remembered that Qiao Ruoyun had paid attention to those relatives of the Qiao family because Qin Shu cared about reputation. “Yes.”Qiao Ruoyun replied, “Let’s not talk about this. There’s also a joyous occasion in the Qiao family. Grandmother has agreed to Xu Mingwei’s request to marry Ruo Feng. She’s not considered to be a son-in-law. In the future, the first child will be surnamed Qiao and will be the son of the Qiao family’s second son. The second child will be surnamed Xu……” Qiao jinniang smiled and said, “That’s great. Xu Mingwei has made outstanding military achievements. He has contributed greatly to the attack on Western Liang this time.” Qiao ruoyun nodded and said, “He also has the ambition to not be willing to take over uncle’s position as the Yun province’s governor-general. He’s willing to become a minor official in the imperial court. Second aunt is very happy. Mother is having a headache over Ruoyi’s marriage……” The jinniang said, “Ruoyi told me that she’s not in a hurry to get married. Her mind is now on West Mountain Academy. Moreover, she’s still young. It Won’t be too late to delay it for another two or three years.” Zheng Xiao carried his little daughter over and said, “Why aren’t you in a hurry? Jin Niang, don’t be too attached to ruoyi. There are very few good men in Chang ‘an……” Qiao Jin advised Zheng Xiao, “Mother, don’t worry. If it really doesn’t work out, we can still arrange a marriage for little sister ruoyi. Now that both the Qiao family and sister Ruofeng are getting married, mother will have to bear the burden.” Zheng Xiao said, “It’s good that Ruoyun can be happy. It’s just that your father is still afraid……” Qiao jinniang said, “You tell father not to be afraid. Our Qiao family is sitting upright and upright. It will only appear guilty if we cower and fear the east and the West!” “Okay,”Zheng Xiao replied. “In that case, the marriage will have to be put on the agenda. It was not easy for the Xu family to come from the southwest. Qian Yin will have to return to Jiangnan as well. I’ll send someone to see when the best days are coming……” The wedding banquet at King Rong’s residence ended. As soon as Qiao Jinniang and Lu Chen returned to the East Palace, they saw the Hui Lin Emperor waiting for Lu Chen in the East Palace. When they saw Lu Chen, they immediately berated him, “I thought you had some good skills that could stop the courtiers from giving you any more mementos?”? The grand crown prince had spread among the people the saying that these strange powers were able to subdue husband and wife! What was even more ridiculous was that he could subdue women before they were even wives and concubines. Why didn’t he kneel?”
