The stunning beauty of Qing Dynasty

Chapter 198: The Triumphant Return and the End

At the gate of the capital city, the returning army was welcomed by the people. Luo Jiancang and Gao Chenyi rode in front on horseback, but their attention was all attracted by the figure in white on the city wall.

Luo Jiancang shouted: "Brother!"

Qingyin stood on the city wall and nodded with a smile. Emperor Yongzheng knew that it was his younger brother who had returned triumphantly this time, so he specially sent him to pick up the returning troops.

"It's good that you're back. Do you want to go back to the palace and report to His Majesty first, or..."

Luo Jiancang said familiarly: "I didn't wash myself properly on the way back, big brother, and I stink all over. I'll find a place to wash myself first, and then go to see the emperor."

"Well, that's fine too, General Gao too?" Qingyin turned her head and looked at Gao Chenyi who was sitting quietly on the side.

Isn't it said that General Gao Chenyi is unruly and not very friendly? Why does he look like a steady man, but also a little melancholy? Qingyin looked at Gao Chenyi with a little curiosity.

The first time Gao Chenyi was with his sweetheart, he was nervous and stiff, with a hint of joy in his heart. He was afraid that his thoughts would be noticed and disgusted. He was suddenly glad that his face was tanned during the year at the frontier, so his blushing was not noticeable. However, his eloquence was obviously ineffective in front of Qingyin. He hesitated for a long time and could not utter a few words.

In the end, it was Luo Jiancang who came to the rescue. He patted Gao Chenyi's sturdy shoulders and said, "Brother, Xiao Gao must be in the same situation as me."

"Xiao Gao?" It seems that I have been getting along well with the male protagonist Gao Chenyi during this period.

Facing Qingyin's understanding and gentle gaze, Gao Chenyi, who was about to explain, held his words back. This was also good.

Qingyin knew how to ride a horse, so he jumped onto a horse and returned to the palace. After explaining the precautions to the two people, he had to go back and report to Emperor Yongzheng.

Qingyin left, leaving the eunuch to lead the way.

Just as Qingyin thought, Emperor Yongzheng specially held a celebration banquet for this victory.

The banquet was very lively, and many officials even brought their own daughters. The purpose was self-evident.

However, these girls were not attracted by the two heroic talents who had just returned. Instead, they stared at Qingyin vaguely, which made the fathers of these ladies feel angry. Especially when the gazes were too hot, the fathers couldn't help but blush for their bold daughters.

Over the years, Qingyin's marriage has been eagerly watched by many ladies in Beijing, and the number of people coming to Luo's house to propose marriage has never stopped.

Fortunately, Qingyin was used to his popularity and automatically blocked everyone's admiring gazes. He calmly ate the pastries in front of him.

At the banquet, some of the girls looked at Qingyin firmly, then at Luo Jiancang, and whispered something to the father beside them as if they had made up their minds. The official's eyes lit up and he looked at Luo Jiancang more intently.

Luo Jiancang, who had just been immersed in a unique leisurely time, suddenly felt as if he was a piece of hot and tender tofu being stared at, and he yawned abruptly.

Gao Chenyi, who was sitting next to him, asked, "What's going on?"

He laughed: "Maybe my mother is missing me at home, hehe."

Listening to Luo Jiancang's narcissistic words, Gao Chenyi's face darkened and he stopped talking.

After a speech by His Majesty, words of gratitude from the two parties involved, and a series of performances, the banquet gradually came to an end.

On the way back, Luo Jiancang followed Qingyin back home. The family was finally reunited and spent a warm moment together.

The next day, Luo Jiancang heard the constant knocks on the door, "Ahhh, why are you back? Can't you sleep in?"

after a little while.

At the gate of the East Courtyard, Mother Lin looked at Luo Jiancang, who was well dressed and getting stronger after training in the frontier, and nodded with satisfaction, "Come on, Cang'er, see if there is anything you like."

Mother Lin laid out a pile of portrait albums. Looking at the portraits of young people one by one, Luo Jiancang finally understood why his mother asked him to get up so early.

Luo Jiancang pointed at the portrait on the table and asked in disbelief, "Mom, you called me up just for a blind date?"

Mother Lin smiled faintly and asked, "What else? I'll wait until you go to the battlefield and then arrange a blind date for you. I'll wait until you're injured and then give it to you..."

"Mom, don't cry, I'm the one who has it."

I don't know what Lin's mother said, but tears started falling.

Luo Jiancang carefully wiped the tears from his mother's face. After a while, Mother Lin regained her previous gentleness and beauty.

"Look at this little girl. She is the daughter of Minister He. She is cute and good at studying."

Luo Jiancang frowned: "This looks too weak. He will probably fall down with just one punch."

Mother Lin: "..." I can't help it.

"What about this one? Minister Kong's daughter is also tall and beautiful."

"Looks mean, easy to backstab."

"What about this?"

"Fat! Need some training."

"..."

After a round of introductions, Mother Lin grabbed Luo Jiancang's ear tightly and said, "You little bastard, I'm choosing a wife for you, not soldiers for you!"

Luo Jiancang felt wronged: "But I just don't like that. I can't find someone I don't like, right? And mother, those rich girls don't like my brother, so how can they like me?"

"You don't have to worry about this. These posts are all from girls who are willing to ask you out for a blind date." Lin's mother said calmly, letting go of her youngest son's ear.

But don't be fooled by her calm appearance, she is actually a little confused inside.

She said that there was a huge difference between her two sons. Not to mention their appearance, just in terms of ability, although the younger son won a battle, he was still no match for Zhang'er.

Although she thought so in her heart, Lin's mother did not tell the truth to hurt her youngest son.

By the time Qingyin found out that her brother was being dragged by his mother to a blind date, Luo Jiancang had already picked out a girl. This girl was the orphan of a general who had fought for the previous emperor. There was only an elderly grandmother left at home. The girl's name was Wan Mingqing. The name sounded a bit like a boy, but the girl was a real beauty. However, her appearance was obviously not as weak as she looked. She had clear and firm eyes and was a good-natured little girl.

Because of this little girl, Luo Jiancang was ridiculed by Lin's mother for several days for his big talk.

Because of the special nature of Luo Jiancang's position, their marriage was arranged very quickly and was engaged within a month.

On the day of the wedding banquet, Luo Miaoqing stayed in a room with her sister-in-law.

Qingyin had to stand outside to block the drinking for Luo Jiancang, and the wedding banquet was very lively.

At first, people were a little nervous and concerned about toasting Lord Luo Qingzhang, but after Qingyin drank the first glass, people became bolder and crowded forward to toast Qingyin.

The alcohol content of the wedding wine prepared for the wedding banquet was not very high, but there were so many people toasting, and Qingyin drank so much that she felt slightly tipsy.

A thin layer of powder lingered on his fair face, which seemed to pull back the aura of an ascetic Buddhist. His lips, stained with wine, became more moist, small, and bright red, revealing a faint enchantment.

The man who had been paying attention to Qingyin couldn't help but feel his Adam's apple rolling. He took several gulps of wine to suppress the itch in his heart.

When the wedding banquet was over, Qingyin asked the servants to pack up and he had to go back to his room to rest.

After a night, the morning glow covered the light blue sky, giving the mysterious and vast sky a layer of pink mist.

Three months later, good news came from Luo Jiancang's house: Wan Mingqing was pregnant.

In the same month, another war broke out in the south, and Luo Jiancang was sent out again. Qingyin called her younger sister to comfort him.

"Second sister-in-law said she understood. From the day she got married, she understood second brother's career. She told us not to worry, she knew it." Luo Miaoqing said to Qingyin.

Qing Yin's eyebrows moved slightly, "Your second sister-in-law has a strong character, but it also means that your second sister-in-law does not need your care. Qing'er, spend more time chatting with your second sister-in-law every day."

"I know it without you telling me, brother." Luo Miaoqing raised his chin and said proudly.

Qingyin gently rubbed the little girl's head: "Well, Qing'er is very sensible."

The following year, Wan Mingqing gave birth to twin girls, and Luo Jiancang returned safely again.

The Luo family doted on the newborn babies, and even Qingyin fell out of favor among the family. Luo's father started showing off his eldest son's title every day, and started showing off his granddaughter, saying how cute and smart she was.

Lin's mother carried her niece wherever she went, and Luo Miaoqing also vied with her mother to hold her little niece.

Because of the newborn, Lin's mother couldn't help but urge the two unmarried people in the family to get married.

Luo Miaoqing seemed to be annoyed and hid outside. She also opened a school to teach how to raise abandoned babies and children of poor people. When it was first set up, many people secretly made things difficult for her, but Qingyin solved the problems behind the scenes. As time went by, the school was able to get going.

Among the participants, there was also a familiar name among the first-term teachers, Lin Congyu, who invested in the company due to the charm of money.

In the second year of running the academy, Luo Miaoqing found his ideal man. The man was handsome, had passed the imperial examination and had considerable talent, but he had no ambition for promotion. When he heard about the academy, he resigned from his idle official position and became the first male teacher in the academy.

The two had the same ideals, and their life was happy and simple after they got married. They had a son the following year.

Qingyin has not married in these years. Lin's mother and Luo's father seemed to understand something and no longer urged their eldest son to get married.

Eight years later, news came that Emperor Yongzheng was unwell and stopped attending court for three days. Although the princes had some unusual behavior, they were still honest and Emperor Yongzheng took it into consideration.

The eldest prince was stupid, the fourth prince was of humble origin, and the other princes were either young or had defects. Emperor Yongzheng looked around at his sons with a slight disdain.

"Compared with the Emperor, my sons are really much inferior." Emperor Yongzheng murmured softly while lying on the bed. If Qingyin had not had sensitive ears, she would not have been able to hear His Majesty's complaints.

Qingyin pretended not to hear and continued to report recent political affairs to His Majesty.

Emperor Yongzheng forced himself to stay awake and reviewed all government affairs before he fell into a deep sleep. Qingyin quietly retreated.

Although Emperor Yongzheng had the common problem of suspicion among emperors, he was indeed conscientious and responsible as an emperor, made good use of his ministers, and was diligent. This alone impressed many people.

Qingyin secretly thought that Emperor Yongzheng probably died so quickly because he was too hardworking. He got up at three or four every day, attended court, and reviewed memorials at night. He wished he could break every minute into two. Sometimes when he was busy with work, Qingyin had to stay up late to accompany His Majesty to do certain work.

If it weren't for the body-building pills from the system, Qingyin suspected that his hair would have fallen out completely. Work makes people exhausted, and he would definitely not look for such a strenuous task in the next world! Qingyin thought resentfully.

The following year, Emperor Yongzheng died and issued a will to pass the throne to the fourth prince Hongli. The reign was changed to Qianlong, and the previous emperor was posthumously named Jingtian Changyun Jianzhong Biaozheng Wenwu Yingming Kuanren Xinyi Ruisheng Daxiao Zhicheng Xian Emperor.

During Hongli's reign, he still valued Qingyin, an important minister of the previous emperor. Like the previous emperor, this emperor often liked to call Qingyin into the palace to play chess from time to time.

Because Qingyin was unmarried, some people among the people had a vague rumor that His Majesty coveted Shangshu Luo's beauty, so he often kept Shangshu Luo. Unfortunately, Shangshu Luo, the most beautiful woman in the world, could not escape the hands of the prince.

Qingyin found it hilarious. He could vaguely sense that the new emperor didn't have that kind of affection for him. He was just a senior face-obsessed person like the previous emperor, so he often asked him to play chess with him.

However, the new emperor is different from the previous one. Qingyin looked at the teasing expression on the face of the young and handsome emperor in front of her and didn't know what to say for a moment.

The rumor became more and more famous because of the bad taste of a certain emperor, who even fanned the flames.

However, in the hearts of the people, Shangshu Luo is always the most responsible and best-looking adult.

Qingyin returned to the system space and lay there for a whole month until she got tired of the game in the small world and then she quit.

In the previous mission world, he received a full-star rating from the wish-makers. In addition, he had sold those things before, and with the huge amount of repayment, he could vaguely see hope.

Qingyin cheered up, "Come on, if you do a few more, you can strive for retirement!"

No one knew where the system had gone again, and Qingyin didn't care. She flipped through the recent mission world and randomly clicked on a ball of light.

A cloud of mist dispersed, and a woman in tattered white palace dress appeared before her. The woman was very pretty, with willow-shaped eyebrows, thin eyes, thin lips, and a pitiful appearance. However, her expression was a little timid, which made her pretty face lose a lot of color. The eight-point beauty became only five-point beauty.

Qingyin noticed that although the woman's clothes were worn out and had traces of mending, the fabric was still of good quality. It seemed that her identity as the wish maker this time was not ordinary.

Just as Qingyin thought, the woman sobered up for a while, raised her head sadly and told her own story: "Hello, my lord. My name is Song Wanwan. My father is the loyal general of the dynasty. My mother is the legitimate daughter of an official. She was unlucky. My grandfather committed a crime and my mother was demoted to a prostitute by the previous emperor. She became an honest official in Qingyue Tower. My father redeemed my mother and brought her into the mansion. Probably because of the hard times in the past, her body was damaged. Although she was lucky enough to give birth to me, she also fell seriously ill and passed away when I was three years old."
