A genius girl with her own space

Chapter 36: Imperial Marriage

"Mrs. Liu, you've seen their situation yourself. If you let them go to the garden now, aren't you just trying to bring them together?"

Mrs. Liu suddenly coughed, and there was blood on her handkerchief. Qiqi saw it with her sharp eyes. Mrs. Liu was so anxious to match her daughter with Brother Xie Lei because she was seriously ill.

Qiqi stepped forward to support Madam Liu and felt her pulse. Qi and blood were depleted, and her pulse was weak; it was tuberculosis. Tuberculosis is curable today, but in this era it was a terminal illness, and Madam Liu was coughing up blood. This meant she only had a year to live. Madam Liu wanted to see her daughter marry before she died.

"Mrs. Liu, are you okay? Come, drink some water first." Qiqi said.

"Princess Qiqi, I'm fine. It's just an old illness. Don't worry."

"Princess Qiqi, come and sit down. I think they are a good match. If they are willing, I will help them." Mrs. Liu arrived.

"Okay, Madam Liu, I also hope that my brother and Sister Wenqiu will be together. I will ask the emperor to grant them a marriage."

"Okay, I'd like to thank Princess Qiqi first. Now that they're married, I'm relieved."

Madam Liu asked the servants to invite the two in. She took her daughter into the inner room and asked her daughter directly if she liked Xie Lei and liked him.

"Mother, what do you think of him? As long as you think he's suitable, it's fine."

"Wen Qiu! If you like Xie Lei, mother fully approves. I'll go talk to your father, and he'll agree. If you agree, I'll ask Princess Qiqi to ask him to ask the old emperor to issue an edict to grant the marriage. What do you think?"

"Mother, please ask Princess Qiqi to ask for permission. I like Xie Lei."

Qiqi also pulled Xie Lei aside and asked, "Brother, what do you think of Sister Qiu? Can she be your sister-in-law?" Xie Lei was a little embarrassed.

"Qiqi, if you think it's appropriate to ask Miss Qiu, I have no objection."

"Brother, tell me the truth. If you like, ask Sister Qiu. I will ask the emperor to grant you a marriage."

"Qiqi, go and ask for the emperor's will! I like to ask Qiu."

Wen Qiu hid in the inner room, too embarrassed to come out. Xie Lei also left the hall and went to the lake in the garden.

When Qiqi saw Mrs. Liu's expression, she knew that their marriage was a done deal.

"Mrs. Liu, my brother likes to ask Sister Qiu, so what about asking Sister Qiu?"

"Princess Qiqi, please ask for permission. Wen Qiu also likes Xie Lei."

"Mrs. Liu, when we rescued Sister Qiu, I thought they were destined to be together."

"Princess Qiqi, what's going on? Why did you say you wanted to save Wenqiu? What's going on?" Madam Liu said anxiously.

Qiqi told Madam Liu how she had saved Sister Qiu. Madam Liu was horrified and ran to the inner room, hugging her daughter and bursting into tears.

"Wen Qiu, don't go to such far places in the future. If anything happens to you, what should I do? I'm afraid of running into Princess Qiqi and the others. I'm scared just thinking about it."

"Mom, I'm fine now. Don't cry, you haven't recovered yet." Wen Qiu said and pulled his mother to the front hall.

"I'll ask your father to send you some guards to protect you."

"Auntie, if you trust me, I can arrange for a few secret guards who are skilled in martial arts to serve as maids for the young lady to protect her. Is that okay with you, auntie?"

"Xie Lei, that's great. Auntie thanks you."

"Aunt, you are so kind. This is what I should do."

"Mother, I just heard from Master Xie that Princess Qiqi knows medicine. Princess Qiqi, could you please take a look at my mother?"

Qiqi came over and felt Madam Liu's pulse again. "Madam Liu, you already knew your illness! You deliberately hid it from Sister Qiu. You have tuberculosis..."

"Oh, mother. Why didn't you tell me earlier? You were just willing to bear the illness on your own. My father wouldn't know either! Princess Qiqi, please save my mother no matter what. My father said she almost died giving birth to me. Please."

"Wen Qiu, I have consulted many doctors and they all say it's the same disease. It's a terminal illness. Please don't make things difficult for Princess Qiqi. I will be satisfied as a mother to see you get married." Mrs. Liu said.

Seeing Liu Wenqiu anxious, Qiqi quickly said, "Sister Wenqiu, don't worry. I can cure this disease. It just requires long-term medication, probably more than half a year."

Mrs. Liu said, "I'm willing to take the medicine for several years, not to mention half a year. I want to see Wen Qiu get married and have children."

Liu Wenqiu also became excited and took Qiqi's hand. "Princess Qiqi, can it really be cured? My mother can be saved." Qiqi wiped the tears from Sister Wenqiu's face and nodded.

"Madam Liu, I will go to the emperor first and ask him to grant an imperial decree for the marriage between my brother and Sister Wenqiu. Then I will treat your illness. Please wait for my good news." After Qiqi finished speaking, she took out a bottle of blood-nourishing pills and handed it to Madam Liu, asking her to take one pill every day.

Qiqi and Xie Lei said their goodbyes and immediately rushed to the palace. Upon seeing Princess Junbao arrive, the palace guards immediately went in to report. The emperor's chief eunuch hurried out to greet her. "Princess, the emperor is waiting for you in the imperial study. Please come in." The chief eunuch greeted Qiqi respectfully and led her to the study.

As soon as they reached the door, the emperor came out and picked up Qiqi.

"Qiqi. Father misses you. What have you been busy with these days? Why don't you come to see me?" After saying this, he scratched Qiqi's little nose with his hand. His face was full of pampering.

"Father, you are much younger now. You are just a handsome uncle. Qiqi likes you. Qiqi misses you too."

Qiqi's sweet words made the emperor laugh heartily. The steward wiped away a tear. This was the first time the emperor had laughed so happily since he fell ill. He was also happy for the emperor.

The head eunuch quickly sent the young eunuch to the imperial study to bring all the delicious food. Soon, several palace maids arrived with trays filled with food on the dining table. The emperor held Qiqi in his arms and placed her on a chair.

"Qiqi, take a look at what you want to eat. Your father will pick some food for you." The emperor said as he picked up some food for Qiqi.

Qiqi looked at the old emperor and thought of his father in his previous life. How are they now? Have they come out of the shadow of their daughter's death? Do they not believe the plane explosion and are still waiting for their daughter to come home? I am living a good life in this world. I have parents and seven brothers who dote on me. I have a master who loves me. I have Jingze who likes me, and my junior brother. And there is this father who picks food for me with a smile on his face, and the little prince brother. They are all very good to me, don't worry. I am reborn here. I will go back to see you when I have the chance. Tears filled his eyes thinking about it. He wiped them away quietly.

"Father, thank you for loving me so much." The emperor himself didn't know what was going on. Seeing Qiqi's love from the bottom of her heart, Liu Junyang's position in his heart was not as high as Qiqi's. He also felt that they were father and daughter in one life.

"Father, you see, I was so focused on eating that I forgot about the important matter. Please arrange a marriage between Brother Xie Lei and Sister Liu Wenqiu. They like each other."

"Oh, does our Qiqi like Liu Wenqiu? If you do, I will grant you the marriage."

"Father, I like it. If I didn't like it, I wouldn't come to you to issue an order."

"Okay, okay. Father will grant the marriage immediately."

The emperor personally came to the imperial writing desk, spread out the rice paper, and personally wrote the marriage decree. This showed his fondness for Princess Qiqi. He then sent the chief eunuch to the Liu residence to announce the imperial decree. Qiqi now lives in the princess residence granted by the emperor. The master and the others have also moved in.
