Traveling through time as a peasant girl, buying a husband and raising a child

There is no doubt that this is the mother of the current emperor, the most noble woman in the entire Dayu, the Queen Mother Tang of Dayu, and Jiang Jin's nominal grandmother.

Walking behind the Empress Dowager Tang was Xi, who was wearing a peach-pink dress, a light red corset around her waist, her hair tied up in a high bun, and gold and jade jewels on her head. She looked charming and dignified. She was the current emperor's favorite concubine, the Empress Dowager Tang's niece, and the virtuous concubine Tang Yurou.

Behind the virtuous concubine followed a slightly chubby boy of about fifteen or sixteen. Walking in the hall, he looked at the people kneeling on the ground, with a hint of pride and disdain on his face. This was the virtuous concubine's son, Jiang Yi, the eighth son of the current emperor, whose courtesy name was Yanli.

Behind these people was a large group of palace maids and eunuchs, which was a grand occasion.

Jiang Xuanqing looked at the kneeling people, and he walked slowly to the highest seat in the center of Chengfu Hall and sat down. Empress Dowager Tang sat slightly to the lower right of him, and Concubine Xian sat at the first seat among the emperor's concubines on the right, with great dignity.

"My lords, please be free!"

Jiang Xuanqing's majestic words came from the top of the hall, and then he heard a loud voice of thanks from below.

The ceremony began immediately after that. The etiquette officer read out the congratulatory message to the Empress Dowager, followed by some words of praise for the peace and prosperity of the country and the wisdom of the Emperor.

The ministers and their families below knelt down and praised their Majesty for his wisdom and his Queen Mother for her great happiness and longevity.

Jiang Jin watched all this, feeling only irony. If his father was truly wise and righteous, how could he pretend to be disabled and sit in this wheelchair? How could his brother, the crown prince, be tragically killed in a car accident?

After all this was done, it was time to present gifts. In front of all the ministers in the world, the emperor presented the empress dowager with a jade Buddha ornament that was half a person's height and had a kind smile and was crystal clear. It meant that the empress dowager of Dayu had a heart of a bodhisattva, was tolerant and generous, and could accommodate all things.

This made the Queen Mother very happy. A kind smile appeared on her face, showing that she was quite satisfied with the gift.

After that the prince presented gifts, followed by the princes and princesses, and then the ministers.

Anyway, this round of offerings took almost an hour.

The gift Jiang Jin gave was unremarkable, just a Buddhist scripture. It was a unique copy, but it didn't mean anything. Of course, Jiang Jin just thought it didn't mean anything.

A woman with a kind heart and devoted to Buddhism will not live long in a harem full of intrigues, let alone become the queen mother!

After the ceremony, the dancers came in one after another. After about a cup of tea, Jiang Yi stood up and walked to the center of the hall. He said to the emperor and the empress dowager on the high platform:

"Father, Grandmother, today is Grandmother's birthday. It would be boring if things continued like this. I suggest that we have the talented men and women of Dayu perform their talents. What do you think, Grandmother?"

"Hahahaha... The banquet is a good idea. What do you think, Queen Mother?"

Jiang Xuanqing looked at his son, who inevitably showed some favoritism to him because of his fondness for Concubine Xian, and laughed. He praised Jiang Yi and then asked the Queen Mother what she thought.

"It's really boring to sit here like this, let's just follow the etiquette of the banquet!"

The Queen Mother was also unusually happy, and said with a flushed face as she looked at Jiang Xuanqing.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, since this is a performance by the talented men and beautiful women of Dayu, how about I offer a little prize?"

At this moment, Concubine Tang Yurou thought for a moment, and with a charming smile on her face, she spoke coquettishly to Jiang Xuanqing and Empress Dowager Tang.

This virtuous concubine is also very capable. Logically speaking, given Jiang Xuanqing's personality, Tang Yurou, who was born in the Tang family, the Empress Dowager's mother's family, should not be so favored. However, Tang Yurou has been favored for many years and has not declined.

"What the virtuous concubine said is true. Let's add some luck today. Whoever gets the first place personally chosen by the empress dowager will have a wish granted by me."

Jiang Xuanqing looked at Tang Yurou's pretty face, and as the atmosphere was right, he waved his hand and said.

When the young and talented ladies below heard this, they all showed joy on their faces. If they went up to perform their talents, they would not only be able to show off in front of the emperor, the empress dowager and the princes, but they would also win prizes if they performed well. Wouldn't that make them happy?

When Tang Qianqian, who was sitting in the front row of noble ladies, heard this, her face was also full of joy. She couldn't help but look at Jiang Jin, who was sitting in the wheelchair opposite her with extraordinary grace. She felt excited inside and her face was slightly flushed.

She clenched the hands in her sleeves, suppressed the throbbing in her heart, stood up gracefully, walked towards the center of the hall, and bowed to Jiang Xuanqing and Queen Dowager Tang.

"Greetings to Your Majesty, and to the Empress Dowager. Your humble servant, Tang Qianqian, requests to perform a performance to wish the Empress Dowager a long and healthy life, and a prosperous and everlasting life!"

"Hahaha... What talent do you want to perform today, Qianqian?"

When Empress Dowager Tang saw Tang Qianqian standing gracefully in the hall, a loving smile appeared on her face. Tang Qianqian was a child she had watched grow up, so she naturally felt closer to her.

"Your Majesty, I would like to perform the stunning dance!"

"Qianqian is thoughtful, I agree!"

Upon hearing this, Empress Dowager Tang smiled even more and agreed directly.

When Tang Qianqian heard the Queen Mother's words, a smile spread across her face, and she went to change her clothes.

At this moment, Concubine Su's niece Su Yao came on stage and played a song "Jiang Jia", and was praised by Jiang Xuanqing as "not bad".

The Empress Dowager also gave her a set of headgear on the spot, which was a great honor for her.

Afterwards, Tang Qianqian, who had changed into a white dress with a hem that looked like a blooming fire lotus, went to the center of the hall and began to dance.

Tang Qianqian had heard that Su Yao had received a set of headgear and was praised, and a trace of resentment and jealousy flashed in her eyes. After Xu Qingqing was miserably exiled, she and Su Yao became the two representatives of the noble ladies of Yudu.

Now that Su Yao was rewarded for her song "Jiang Jia" without any prior information, how could she not be jealous?

However, Tang Qianqian had adjusted her mindset when she was in the center of the hall. She had been practicing this stunning dance since September, for a full two months, just to take the lead today.

She will definitely suppress Su Yao, humph!

As the music of the musician next to her began to play, Tang Qianqian began to dance gracefully, like a fiery butterfly, her movements moving gracefully and touchingly in the center of the hall.

While dancing, Tang Qianqian was observing her surroundings. Seeing everyone showing expressions of surprise and admiration, her self-esteem was greatly satisfied.

She looked at the person she was thinking about again, and when she saw Jiang Jin sipping tea with his head down, a look of loss and regret flashed in his eyes.

Jiang Jin, who was drinking tea with his head down, was actually thinking about Mu Jiaojiao at this time. His wife would never do such boring things to please everyone. His wife would only bury her head in the pharmacy to study strange medicines, and also have an unruly battle of wits and courage with her two sons.

Hey! When will his wife come to Yudu?

On the other hand, Tang Qianqian in the field didn't even look at Jiang Jin, and she felt a wave of bitterness in her heart. However, she suppressed her emotions and performed a stunning dance that amazed everyone. Unfortunately, she didn't amaze the person she wanted to amaze.

"Clap! Clap! Clap!"

After Tang Qianqian finished dancing, as she had expected, she received thunderous applause.

When Su Yao saw Tang Qianqian like this, a hint of a smile flashed in her eyes. This didn't seem like a sudden idea!

and so……
