The besties traveled through the book together, and the prince and general became abandoned husbands

"Niao Niao, no matter what choice you make, I will fully support you.

However, the Emperor is in his prime, and there are rumors of a beauty pageant in the previous dynasty. If you trust the Emperor, don't take it too seriously."

Jiang Yuanzhou looked at his smart and beautiful sister and suddenly sighed:

"With the Jiang family's status, it was definitely out of their reach for the Emperor, who was still the Crown Prince.

But you have a very beautiful appearance, so the emperor took a fancy to you and married you into the prince's palace as a concubine.

I know in my heart that even if you only become the prince's concubine, the road ahead will be difficult and bumpy.

During that time, I knew you were having a hard time, but I was powerless to do anything. I could only watch you waste away your vitality and wither away bit by bit in the Prince's Mansion.

To be honest, when I learned that you faked your death and left, I was actually very happy. I was glad that you finally escaped from the sea of ​​suffering.

The lonely palace is no longer your bondage, and the vast and beautiful rivers and mountains will soon become your second half of life. The best outcome is that you can regain your freedom and get another chance to pursue happiness.

Who knows, all the things that happen later will be like a huge wave, pushing you back to the starting point again.

Now, I don’t know which choice is best for you.

But, Niaoniao, if you want to be the queen, then do it.

No matter what happens in the aftermath, I will do my best to protect you and the little prince."

Jiang Yuanzhou's heartfelt words successfully made Jiang Wumei's eyes wet. In this world, she has sisters who love her and brothers who care about her. What else can she not be satisfied with?

Standing in front of Jiang Yuanzhou, Jiang Wumei bowed to the man in front of her with sincere and full emotions:

"Niao Niao thanks you for your love and care, brother.

If it weren't for my brother's help along the way, Niao Niao wouldn't have come this far."

Jiang Yuanzhou was startled and quickly stood up to support Jiang Wumei:

“What are you doing?

Get up quickly.

Jiang Yuanzhou couldn't understand Jiang Wumei's feelings at the moment. He felt that he was just doing what a brother should do and was not worthy of her excited thanks.

Jiang Wumei suppressed the turbulent emotions in her heart and did not want to explain further. She could not tell Jiang Yuanzhou the real reason, so she could only repay his previous protection with practical actions.

"It's just a simple thank you, brother, don't think too much about it."

Ignoring this matter, Jiang Wumei asked about Jiang's parents and learned that Jiang's father had been in poor health recently and was bedridden. Jiang Wumei immediately offered to send the imperial physician to treat Jiang's father.

Father Jiang was not seriously ill. Jiang Yuanzhou comforted him with a few words, politely declined Jiang Wumei's suggestion, asked her to relax, and then said goodbye and left after talking about some other things.

When Jiang Yuanzhou came out of the harem, he did not leave the palace directly. Instead, he was led by a eunuch and went straight to the imperial study.

In the imperial study, Xiao Tong had a serious expression on his face. Three or four ministers were kneeling on the ground with their heads bowed, trembling and not daring to look up.

Jiang Yuanzhou stepped into the imperial study after being notified. Xiao Tong glanced at him, then turned his gaze to the people kneeling on the ground and angrily shouted:

"Get out of here! If I hear about this again, I'll send you all back home!"

"Yes... Your Majesty

I, your humble servant, shall take my leave."

"I will take my leave..."

Several ministers took their leave tremblingly, and when they passed by Jiang Yuanzhou, they stumbled and almost fell.

Jiang Yuanzhou watched coldly, but had no intention of offering help. These people must be trying to persuade the emperor to hold a beauty contest.

The emperor's accident this time made the ministers in the court restless and began to have some inappropriate thoughts.

As Niao Niao's elder brother, it is considered good for him not to bother with these people.

"Have you seen Niao Niao?"

After the annoying people left, Xiao Tong picked up another memorial and looked through it. Then he frowned and picked up the red pen to write a sharp reply.

Xiao Tong's face was grim and filled with irritation. Jiang Yuanzhou took two steps forward, saluted and replied:

"Your Majesty, I have just come out of Fengwu Palace and have met the Imperial Noble Consort."

When he heard Jiang Wumei, the coldness in Xiao Tong's eyes melted away a little. He threw away the memorial in his hand and opened the next one.

"Did the Imperial Concubine say anything more to you?"

Jiang Yuanzhou is Niao Niao's only relative in the capital, so Xiao Tong is more patient with him.

Jiang Yuanzhou bowed and replied:

"Her Majesty did not say much to this humble minister, but only asked some questions about the young prince."

Xiao Tong stared at Jiang Yuanzhou with an ambiguous look in his eyes:

"In that case, please step back first."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Jiang Yuanzhou walked out of the imperial study and just took a few steps when he met Zhao Qi coming towards him.

Seeing Jiang Yuanzhou, Zhao Qi stopped and greeted him politely:

"Master Jiang, have you just finished sending the little prince off?"

Zhao Qi is a close minister of the emperor and has a lot of dealings with Jiang Yuanzhou on a daily basis.

To him, Jiang Yuanzhou was not as alienated as he was to others:

“Yes, I just came from the Imperial Concubine’s palace.

Lord Zhao has been working hard recently and looks a bit thinner."

Jiang Yuanzhou spoke quite politely, and only said the word "reduced" to Zhao Qi's dark and thin face.

God knows, Zhao Qi had just returned home, and Xiao Hei in the yard saw his current appearance and didn't recognize him, and almost thought he was a thief and bit him.

During this trip to the Guancheng, Zhao Qi was more tired than a dog. During the days when the emperor and the imperial concubine were unconscious, he was restless all day long, wishing he could grow a pair of wings and fly back to the capital to bring all the imperial doctors over.

The horrifying scene of the emperor falling into deep sleep and him and Chen Yu becoming the eternal sinners of the Great Sage kept appearing in his mind all day long. He was so anxious that his hair turned white.

Now, after finally escorting his two masters back to the capital, Zhao Qi no longer cared whether he would get dark or not. He just wanted to finish his task as soon as possible and return home to have a good sleep for three days and three nights.

The two men exchanged a few words, and Jiang Yuanzhou bowed and said goodbye. Zhao Qi stared at his back for a few seconds before walking into the imperial study to report the matter.

As soon as Jiang Yuanzhou left, Jiang Wumei went to the next bedroom to help the children open their gifts.

Some of these things were bought by Junjun for her children in Guancheng, and some were bought on the way back to Beijing with Xiao Tong.

Although each item is not expensive, it is unique and surprising, which can quickly attract children's attention and make the little ones happy.

The mother and son played in the palace for the whole afternoon. As it was getting dark, Jiang Wumei sent someone to the imperial study to ask when the emperor would return.

The palace maid who was going to ask questions was halfway when she encountered the imperial carriage. She hurriedly knelt down to greet it and stopped moving forward.

Recognizing her as someone from Fengwu Palace, Xiao Tongyi turned his head, and the young eunuch accompanying him immediately understood and ran to the palace maid to inquire about the situation.

The palace maid nervously replied a few words, and the young eunuch ran back to the imperial carriage and bowed and reported:

"Your Majesty, the Imperial Noble Consort sent this maid to the Imperial Study to look for you.

I'd like to ask when you will return to Fengwu Palace for dinner.

The Queen is thinking of you."

The little eunuch reads the emperor's words and expressions, his brain works very fast, and he says nice things without asking for any money, just hoping to please the emperor.

After the young eunuch finished speaking, Xiao Tong's face, which had been gloomy for half a day, finally brightened up.

In the past in the palace, Niao Niao had never sent anyone to the imperial study to find him. It seems that this time, Niao Niao really forgave him.

With a happy arc on his lips, Xiao Tong directly ordered the imperial carriage to speed up. Niao Niao was still waiting for him for dinner in the palace, and he couldn't delay any longer.

With the young eunuch's response, the imperial carriage set off again. Not long after, Xiao Tong arrived at Fengwu Palace.

Perhaps without anyone telling him, Xiao Tong strode into the palace. The clear and sweet laughter of Jiang Wumei and the child came through the palace door, which gradually seeped into Xiao Tong's mind and made him feel a great sense of satisfaction.
