My parents are both dead, I rely on fishing and farming to support my younger siblings

Just as she was lost in thought, she saw Liu Qionghua gently supporting Yin Jiuchen's arm and walking step by step into the solemn palace where the emperor's coffin was placed.

Gu Lili withdrew her gaze, knelt quietly on the ground, and no one knew what she was thinking.

On the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, the solemn royal funeral was held slowly in a solemn atmosphere.

The ministers, dressed in black mourning clothes, had solemn expressions. They followed the coffin silently and sent the emperor's body to the burial site that had been prepared long ago.

The sun shines through the sparse clouds, as if mourning for the deceased emperor.

On the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, the entire palace was immersed in an atmosphere of joy and solemnity.

When the first ray of sunlight in the early morning pierced the sky, Crown Prince Yin Jiuchen, surrounded by the crowd, took firm steps and ascended the throne that symbolized imperial power.

He stood tall and straight, his eyes revealing a hint of calmness and majesty, as if he had grown into a true emperor overnight.

At the same time, Crown Princess Liu Qionghua was also wearing a gorgeous phoenix robe, a dazzling pearl crown on her head, and followed the Crown Prince with a smile on her face.

Her beauty and elegance complemented each other, attracting envious glances from everyone present.

When the official from the Ministry of Rites read out the edict of enthronement aloud, a hint of excitement and pride flashed in Liu Qionghua's eyes. She knew that from now on, she would become the mother of the world and shoulder the heavy responsibility of being the queen.

From this moment on, a new dynasty officially begins, and a magnificent history is about to be written...

The officials in the Ministry of Rites seemed to be possessed, and were crazy about the Fuso language. Almost all of them had mastered it quite well. Gu Lili also understood. After all, they had suffered losses at the hands of Fuso, so they naturally had to know themselves and the enemy in order to win every battle.

To the extent that Gu Lili felt that there was no need to go to the Ministry of Rites anymore, and gradually stopped going there.

She stayed in the gorgeous princess mansion all day, her heart full of anticipation for the coming spring when flowers would bloom and snow would melt. She only hoped to return to the familiar Gu Manor as soon as possible and regain the peace and freedom.

As for Yin Jiuchen, he was also very busy. He devoted himself to the complicated affairs of state and was so busy that he had never summoned Gu Lili.

Time passed quietly, and spring finally arrived. The white snow gradually melted away unnoticed, and the earth began to show new vitality.

Gu Lili chose a sunny day and entered the palace with mixed feelings, and solemnly bid farewell to Yin Jiuchen.

In the palace, she and Yin Jiuchen stood opposite each other, with indescribable yet firmly restrained emotions flashing in each other's eyes.

After saying goodbye, she took Gu Huanhuan and set out on the journey back to Gu Village.

This time when she returned to the manor, Gu Lili also brought back the servant that Yin Jiuchen had given her.

Including Wei Yin.

This time, they still chose the water route as their travel route.

It has been more than three or four months since Gu Lili left Guzhuang. She doesn't know whether Gu Yanyu passed the examination for the title of Tongsheng. At this moment, she is already eager to return home.

After traveling for more than ten days, Gu Lili and her group finally arrived at Jiangbei Prefecture.

Wei Yin must have sent a message to Wei Yue, so when they got off the carriage, someone was waiting to pick them up.

Gu Lili originally thought that it would be Wei Yue and several other secret guards.

What Gu Lili didn't expect was that Gu Yunchu and Gu Yanyu also appeared here.

"Sister, Huanhuan, I miss you guys so much!"

As soon as Gu Yunchu saw Gu Lili, he immediately excitedly pulled Gu Yanyu towards her and shouted loudly.

Gu Lili waved at them happily.

After several people approached, she first looked at Gu Yanyu carefully, and then asked with a smile: "Is everything okay? How is the Tongsheng exam going?"

Gu Yanyu nodded confidently, "Of course, I passed the test in one try."

Gu Lili gave a thumbs up in appreciation.

"Great!"

"Wow, brother, you are amazing! When I get home, I will also learn well from the female teacher!"

Gu Huanhuan also followed Gu Lili in praising.

Gu Yanyu's face was full of pride, and he said arrogantly, "Hehe! Don't you see whose brother I am? Naturally I am powerful!"

The four of them were laughing together, and the people following behind them also had smiles on their faces.

Gu Lili looked sideways at Gu Yunchu beside her. He seemed to have grown a lot taller than before, and seemed to be more stable.

"Sister, come on, let's go home. Everyone in the family misses you."

Gu Yunchu felt Gu Lili's gaze, scratched his head embarrassedly and smiled foolishly.

Gu Lili nodded, and the four siblings got on the carriage while chatting and laughing.

He rushed towards Guzhuang like an arrow, without stopping for several hours, and finally arrived at Guzhuang in one go.

Gu Lili had just got off the carriage and before she could react, she was hit by the running little fox.

Looking at the little raccoon in front of her, who was almost as big as a grown tiger, Gu Lili couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

Fortunately, this guy braked just now, otherwise I would have been hit by him.

"We, the common people, have met Princess Yongning!"

Gu Lili looked up and saw that the door to her house was full of villagers kneeling, each of them kneeling in front of her respectfully.

I saw the village head, with a group of villagers, including my grandparents, kneeling in front of me.

"Everyone, please stand up quickly! From now on, everyone will be the same. No need to be polite when you see me."

Gu Lili quickly spoke up and asked everyone to stand up.

After everyone stood up, they all gathered around Gu Lili, asking her to tell them about the strange things happening in the capital.

At this moment, it was Mrs. Li who was quick-witted and quick-handed. She quickly stepped forward and separated Gu Lili from the crowd.

"Lili has been traveling for such a long time, it's time for her to take a rest. Please ask me later." Old Mrs. Li raised her voice and said.

After everyone left, Gu Lili handed the servants she brought with her to Gu Chenxi.

......

When Gu Lili returned to Gu Manor, there was no difference between her and before, except that her status changed from a county lady to a princess.

Because Gu Lili mentioned the matter of colored glass to Yin Jiuchen when she said goodbye to him, he specially approved Gu Lili to make colored glass.

Gu Lili kept building houses and workshops to earn money.

Time passed quietly, and four years had passed in a flash.

During these long years, the various workshops that Gu Lili carefully managed have all gotten on track and everything is developing in an orderly manner.

And she is about to celebrate her eighteenth birthday.

Gu Yunchu had already married Zhang Dahua.

As for Gu Yanyu, with his unyielding perseverance and unremitting efforts, he successfully passed the imperial examination and became the top scorer.

After becoming the top scholar in high school, he resolutely returned to Gu County with a deep attachment to his hometown and took up the important position of prefect.

Yes, Guzhuang has developed from a poor mountain village into Gu County.
