After becoming a top-notch peasant woman, she continues to be a top-notch

More than a month later, Zhen Yue saw Qiao Sansan's brother and sister-in-law, their children, grandchildren, and A Zhong and others had also arrived.

"Grandma~"

"Grandma~"

Seeing so many grandchildren, Qiao Chen was also very happy. She hugged the youngest child and kissed him twice while looking at everyone, "Why are you here? There are so many things to do in Kyoto."

Although she said that, she looked happy with her eyes curved.

Qiao San: "Mom, you are sick, how can I not come?"

Manzhu: "That's right, Mom, I don't have anything to do recently, so I'll stay here with you."

Mrs. Qiao Chen smiled and said, "I'm fine now. I have your sister-in-law with me."

The youngest, A Lu, said, "Grandma Huang, don't you like us to accompany you?"

Qiao Chen: "I like it! Of course I like it." She suddenly looked at the girl next to A Lu. She felt a little strange, but when she thought of what Zhen Yue said before, she immediately asked, "Whose family is this beautiful child from?"

A Lu said, "Grandma Empress, this is my fiancée, Yuan Ying." Mainly because he was worried that Mrs. Qiao Chen might not make it, A Lu brought her along this time. Originally, they were going to get married this year.

Yuan Ying stepped forward and said, "Greetings to the Grand Empress Dowager."

Mrs. Qiao Chen pulled her aside and looked at her. "What a good girl." Then she took off a bracelet from her hand and put it on her. "It's hard for you to come all the way to see me, your grandmother."

Yuan Ying immediately said, "It's not hard."

Qiao Chen: "Don't coax me, A-Lu, you have to treat me well."

A Lu: "Grandma Empress, I know." Then he pulled Yuan Ying to his side.

Zhen Yue said, "Mom, everyone is tired, let's let them rest first, and then we can have dinner together in the evening. It's time for you to take a nap now."

Qiao Chen: "Okay."

After a few words, everyone dispersed.

A few days later, Mu Qingshi came with her children. The whole family stayed with the old lady in the Qiao family's old house, and the house was filled with laughter every day.

Xiaoxiao took his younger brothers and sisters to have fun in the house. This was the first time for them to travel so far away. Many of the great-grandchildren had never lived here before, so they felt it was quite new to come here for the first time.

During the period, Zhen Yue went to the mountains to hunt. Yuan Ying stood beside A Lu, looking at Zhen Yue with sparkling eyes, and said to A Lu on the side: "The Queen is so amazing."

A Lu: "When I was born, the third branch of my family lived in the county town. This is where His Highness's family and the Royal Grandpa and Royal Grandma lived. But they would come back occasionally, especially during the war, and they stayed here all the time. I wasn't that old at that time."

"My mother said that the Empress and His Majesty occasionally went hunting in the mountains before, and the food at home has improved because of them. In short, the Imperial Uncle and the Imperial Aunt are very capable."

Yuan Ying: "I've seen a lot of newly built houses here."

A Lu: "Wasn't it the war? Some of it was destroyed. In fact, some of it was destroyed before. Wasn't there a war in the previous dynasty? The village was burned down at that time, and this house was built later. But I don't really understand it. I didn't say anything at that time. But every time my mother talks about it, she says that it's a good thing that the imperial aunt was there at that time. Anyway, because of the imperial aunt, everyone in the family is fine."

Yuan Ying admired the gentle Queen who was introducing the prey to her grandchildren. She also wanted to be like the Queen.

In this way, they stayed here for almost two months. There were also some things going on in Kyoto, so some people went back first, and the remaining great-grandchildren stayed to accompany Qiao Chen and Zhen Yue.

Mu Qingshi also took Heng'er away, leaving Xiaoxiao behind. Xiaoxiao was older and more sensible. As for Heng'er, he had been here for too long and played like a wild monkey with his cousins ​​and sisters. He didn't want to read anymore. Mu Qingshi wanted to take him back to study.

When leaving, Heng'er nestled in Zhen Yue's arms and cried, saying that he didn't want to leave.

Zhen Yue smiled, "If you get an A next time, the Queen Mother will let you come over next year."

Heng Er wiped away her tears and said, "It's settled then."

"Yes. Go back. Your father and Grandpa Huang will surely miss you."

Heng'er: "No way, they don't miss me, they only miss you, Grandma Huang."

Zhen Yue was stunned for a moment, "So you have to help Grandma Huang accompany them."

The bustling Qiao family mansion soon returned to peace. Zhen Yue took a few children and Qiao Chen to grow vegetables every day. Occasionally, they went to play nearby or in the mountains. Qiao Er and Qian also returned to Anning Mansion. After all, they were not free every day.

When A Lu returned to Kyoto, he married Yuan Ying not long after. The main reason was that he was worried that Qiao Chen would need to observe mourning. Of course, he told Zhen Yue and Qiao Chen about these things. Although the two were not in Kyoto, the marriage could not be delayed.

The days were relatively peaceful, but a few months later, Mrs. Qiao Chen fell ill again, and this time she looked listless.

Originally, she was working with Zhen Yue on a vegetable garden at home. After a while, she felt tired and sat on a chair beside her. After a while, she closed her eyes. Zhen Yue thought she had fallen asleep.

But after a while, Qiao Chen fell off the chair. Zhen Yue was startled and went over to support her, and then she found that Qiao Chen's breathing was very weak.

After that, there was a round of rescue, and then the imperial physician said that the patient might die.

Zhen Yue quickly sent people to An Ning Mansion and Kyoto to call for help, but this happened too suddenly. Before Qiao Chao arrived at An Ning Mansion, Qiao Chen passed away. She was very peaceful and did not seem to be in any pain.

Starting from Anning Prefecture, every household in Da'an hung white flags.

It was not until the arrival of Qiao Chao that Qiao Chen was buried in the mausoleum.

After being separated for almost a year, Zhen Yue and Qiao Chao finally met again. Qiao Chen passed away, and now they are the oldest in the Qiao family.

Qiao Chao stayed in Anning Mansion for a month, and all memorials during that time were sent to Anning Mansion for processing.

Afterwards, Zhen Yue followed Qiao Chao back to Kyoto. While Qiao Chao was still in power, she never left Kyoto far away.

Occasionally she would go to the nearby summer resort or stroll around the nearby Jinwei City. She had more and more free time and became obsessed with carpentry and fishing.

She carved things with wood every day, and occasionally went to the pond to fish, fishing for the whole day. When Qiao Chao wanted to find her, he had to go to the pond to find her.

But for some reason, as she gets older, Qiao Chao's temper seems to get worse and worse. Unlike Zhen Yue, her temper is much calmer now. She hasn't been angry for a long time, and she didn't get angry even if the new maid accidentally offended her.

Zhen Yue thought that it was probably because she lived a rich life and could do whatever she wanted so she was in a peaceful mood. But Qiao Chao, who got up earlier than the chickens and slept later than the dogs every day, seemed to be a person who would be irritable, and their days were almost the same every day.

Recently, the Qiao Dynasty raided the home of a third-rank minister because of corruption. Two years ago, a city in the south suffered a disaster and people were sent to provide disaster relief. However, more than half of the relief money was embezzled. Everyone would be angry about this.

Qiao Chao originally wanted to punish all nine generations of the clan, but a group of ministers felt that it was too much and hoped that he would revoke the order. After all, some of the side branches of the Ma family had never received any benefits from this branch, and some of them didn't even know about it. Some people felt that punishing all nine generations of the clan was too cruel, so they hoped that he would revoke the order.

But Qiao Chao was too angry, he wanted to punish the entire clan, even the Crown Prince spoke up. Qiao Chao was very angry that his own son did not stand on his side, so he came to Zhen Yue to comfort her.
