The prince of love, the wealth has come to me
Chapter 17: The Queen Mother and the Queen Who Worshiped Buddha for 7 Years
Night fell quietly, and the family dinner gradually came to an end.
"General, Madam, you should get some rest early. I will go back first."
After chatting for a while after dinner, Ling Yueqing saw that the food on the table had been cleared away, so she stood up and spoke.
"Qing'er, what did you call us?" Jiang Shulan said in pretended anger.
"Dad, Mom, I can't change at this moment."
"Oh, it's okay, we will be a family from now on, and there's plenty of time to change things slowly." Yu Wen Che responded happily.
Jiang Shulan pulled Ling Yueqing's hand, took out a jade bracelet from her sleeve and put it on her hand.
"This jade bracelet was originally a pair, and was originally intended to be given to two daughters, but the second child turned out to be a bad boy. I have kept it here all this time, and now I can finally give it away."
Jiang Shulan patted her hands with relief, "Go down and have some rest. We will be busy in a few days."
Ling Yueqing gave a not-so-standard salute and turned to leave.
She walked on the road, stroking the bracelet on her wrist, and felt a warm feeling in her heart.
This was the first time in her life that she felt the warmth of home, and also the first time she knew what it felt like to have parents.
At this time, the servants in the dining hall had already left.
Only the general and his wife were left.
"Husband, let's hire a nanny to teach Qing'er. She doesn't seem to know much about etiquette."
Jiang Shulan saw that Ling Yueqing knew some of it, but it was a bit strange and not very similar to the etiquette of their country.
She had participated in tribute-paying ceremonies from various countries, and had never seen etiquette like this in any country.
"Okay, madam has the final say." In the general's eyes, whatever the madam said was right.
"She will have to live under Xin'er's name from now on. What will happen if Xin'er comes back?" Jiang Shulan was a little worried. "Will Xin'er think that we don't want her anymore?"
"Madam, please don't worry. I have already made up my mind. The imperial edict only said that our young lady from the general's mansion should marry the war king, but it did not mention Xin'er's name."
"Besides, we have lived in the border areas for a long time and have little contact with Shengjing. They don't know Xin'er. We only met a few times three years ago and heard us call Xin'er by her name. From now on, Qing'er will be called Yuwen Qing to the outside world."
Yu Wenche looked at Jiang Shulan's confused expression, stretched out his hand and pinched her face, then looked at her embarrassed expression and hurriedly explained with a smile, "Xin'er, Qing'er, are you really confused?"
"When Xin'er comes back, we can just make up an excuse and say that we gave birth to twins and they just came back to us."
After hearing him say this, Jiang Shulan felt relieved.
"Husband, is there any news about Xin'er recently?"
"The spy wrote back, saying that they found traces of Xin'er in Yue Country, and they are still verifying it. After Qing'er's wedding is over, I will go there in person to take our daughter home."
"Okay." Jiang Shulan felt both happy and sad. She hoped that the news was true, but she did not dare to hold any hope.
In the past three years, there have been too many news like this. Time and time again, we have been full of hope, but our hopes have been dashed time and time again.
Every time my husband goes out, he would be away for a few days at the least, or more than a month at the most, and when he comes back he would still be alone.
As the night deepened, people returned the world to nature.
At this time, a symphony unique to nature is going on one after another.
Ling Yueqing enjoyed a few days of leisurely life with everything provided for her.
Soon a nanny arrived to teach etiquette.
"Miss, I heard that the Nanny Li who came today was the one who used to work in the palace and was responsible for teaching the princess etiquette. I don't know if she is strict or not." Zhu Yu told Ling Yueqing the news she had heard while combing her hair.
After a few days of getting along, they have become very skilled at calling "Miss".
Ling Yueqing is humble and kind, and the two of them enjoy getting along with her.
"Specially teaching the princess? Then why are you here now?" Ling Yueqing was a little confused. Is the General's Mansion so prestigious?
Ying'er, who had just come in, happened to hear this and immediately raised her hand, "Miss, I know. I heard that Nanny Li is old and in poor health. Her daughter-in-law gave her a big fat grandson, so she asked the Queen Mother for leave and left the palace."
“Is it so easy to resign from their public office here?”
The two of them often only had a vague understanding of what Ling Yueqing said, and they felt that the young lady always said words that they could not understand.
Sometimes the responses are just guesswork.
"I heard that the Queen Mother is a very gentle person. She never beats or scolds the palace maids and often gives them rewards. Everyone in the palace praises the Queen Mother." It is not difficult to hear that the two of them spoke with respect in their tone when talking about the Queen Mother.
Although Ling Yueqing has never met the Queen Mother, how many people who can sit in this position are truly kind?
Years of experience have taught her that a person who has no flaws and is praised by everyone is more terrifying than a person with a bad reputation.
But we can't generalize. I believe that I will be able to meet the Queen Mother soon, and then I will know.
"Is the Queen Mother handling all the affairs of the harem now? Doesn't the Queen care about these?"
"The queen is not in the palace. She said she went to Ling'an Temple to worship Buddha. It has been seven years."
"Oh... um? Seven years? That's such a long time. Is it true that he has been worshipping Buddha? Wasn't he punished to practice Buddhism with his hair uncut?"
Ling Yueqing was a little surprised. It was normal for the empress dowager and the emperor to go to the royal temple to burn incense and worship Buddha, but she had never heard of anyone going there for seven years.
"Who knows? There are many versions of this incident. Some say that the queen made a mistake and was demoted, some say that the queen got jealous and ran away from home, some say that the queen suddenly had an epiphany and became a nun, and there is also..."
"forget it. I'm done here."
As she was talking, Ying'er suddenly stopped talking. She rarely remembered what Zhuyu always told her every day: the mouth can cause trouble.
"..."
"No, I'm listening intently and you're not speaking halfway. Be careful not to eat instant noodles without seasoning packets in the future." Ling Yueqing's gossiping heart was burning.
Ying'er didn't know what instant noodles or seasoning packets were, but when she heard about food, her eyes sparkled and she leaned over to Ling Yueqing's ear and whispered, "Some people also said that the queen cheated on the emperor and was sentenced to death, so they found an excuse that the queen went to worship Buddha."
After that, he immediately started asking, "Miss, what is the instant noodles you just mentioned? Is it delicious?"
Ling Yueqing's thoughts were distracted by Ying'er's sudden change of topic.
"It depends on how you eat it. It tastes good once in a while, but if you eat it every day, you won't want to eat it."
Ying'er nodded seriously, indicating that she agreed very much. She liked eating four-happiness meatballs the most, but she would get tired of eating them every day.
"Where can I buy it?" She couldn't wait to try it. She always had a natural yearning for delicacies she had never eaten.
“I really can’t buy this…”
"Why? Is it very expensive? I have saved some money over the years." He said impatiently and was about to take out his own little piggy bank.
