Becoming The Real Rich Daughter After Divorce

After returning to the Eastern Palace.

Qiao Jinniang went to the kitchen to make long-lived noodles for little Lu Xi.

Lu Chen looked at Qiao Jinniang and said, “You and Li Yun exchanged a few glances just now.”

Qiao jinniang frowned and said, “Why can’t I even look at him?”

Lu Chen coughed and said, “It’s not that I can’t look at him. I just need to avoid suspicion, so that others won’t make a fuss about this matter.”

Qiao jinniang snorted lightly, “I’m an open and aboveboard person, why would I be afraid of what others will say?”

Lu Chen helped her make peace, “In the end, People’s words are worth fearing. Right, since glutinous rice is Qian Yi’s daughter, I think she will also be conferred the title of Princess and go to Lin ‘an. Haven’t you always been thinking about Lin ‘an’s hundred savory restaurant being left unattended? Why Don’t you give it to glutinous rice?”

Qiao jinniang sighed and said, “The Qian residence is less than three Li away from our hundred savory restaurant, but we have only been able to recognize each other until now. It’s also a matter of fate. I originally thought that it was already inconceivable for me to go from the restaurant’s young miss to the Marquisate’s daughter. I didn’t think that glutinous Rice’s identity would be more powerful.”

“It’s good that she has returned to Lin ‘an. At least she can return to a place that she is familiar with.”

Lu Chen heard the envy in Qiao Jinniang’s words and said, “There will always be a chance for her to return to Lin ‘an.”

Qiao jinniang said, “I hope so.”

Lu Chen said again, “Oh right, is that senior Qiu Yue’s literary talent still alive? Such a talented person has always been unknown.”

“That senior is just like Qiu Yue, keeping a low profile.”

Lu Chen chuckled, “Qiu Yue wrote that kind of erotic speech book, and she still dares to keep a high profile?”

Qiao Jinniang smiled faintly. It was true. Qiu Yue hid in the deep mountains because she did not want to stir up any trouble.

The longevity noodles had just been made when eunuch Gu rushed over and said to Lu Chen, “Your Highness, the Empress Dowager has received bad news from the palace. The empress dowager has fainted.”

The Empress Dowager was almost sixty years old. It was not a small matter for her to pass out at this time. Filial piety was the first priority.

Lu Chen and Qiao Jin could only bring Lu Xi along. By then, the Hui Lin Emperor, the empress dowager, and the other imperial concubines would already be in the Empress Dowager’s palace.

After the imperial physician checked her pulse, he said to the Hui Lin emperor, “Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager’s pulse is extremely inappropriate. Her internal organs have been exhausted by the rice sack flower. If this continues, she might become a walking corpse.”

It was not a secret that the empress dowager used the rice sack flower and fruit in the palace.

After all, even the people outside the palace knew about this.

The Hui Lin Emperor said, “Do your best to save mother.”

The imperial physician repeatedly acknowledged.

The Hui Lin Emperor let out a heavy sigh and glared angrily at Imperial Chef Li beside him.

Imperial chef Li Shivered for a moment. He could clearly see the killing intent in the Hui Lin Emperor’s eyes.

No, he had to help King Huai seize the throne as soon as possible. Otherwise, if the old fogey, the empress dowager, passed away, the Emperor would definitely not allow him to live anymore in order to keep the secret!

The Empress Dowager slowly woke up after being injected with needles. Only then could everyone leave the Empress Dowager’s palace.

Lu Chen carried Lu Xi, who was about to fall asleep, and said to Qiao jinniang, “Seeing the empress dowager so thin today, I think she won’t be able to live for long. You and Lu Xi have to be more careful of her these few days.”

Qiao Jinniang was puzzled. “Since father knows that the old empress dowager wants to harm you, why didn’t father punish the Empress Dowager?”

“The Empress Dowager is, after all, father’s biological mother. Father wants to be a wise ruler all his life. With filial piety in front of him, he naturally won’t punish the Empress Dowager.”

Back in the eastern palace, the longevity noodles were already cold, so Qiao Jinniang did not make another bowl. Instead, Lu Xi was thinking about whether the noodles were swollen or not, but she still ate them.

“Mother’s noodles are the best. Even if it’s swollen, it’s still very delicious.”

Qiao Jinniang kissed Lu Xi’s little face. “Xi'er is so obedient.”

Little Lu Xi tugged on Qiao Jinniang’s sleeve. “Xi'er wants to sleep with mother, okay?”

“Okay.”Qiao Jinniang also knew that he had not seen her for the past few days. He must have missed her very much.

Lu Chen said, “I think we can let Xi'er copy the historical records!”

Lu Xi said, “Father, I already know all the historical records by heart. There’s no need to copy them!”

“A good memory is better than a bad pen,”Lu Chen said.

Qiao Jin held Lu Xi’s hand and said, “Ignore your father. If you want to copy them, let him do it himself.”

The bright moon shone in the sky. It was a different kind of feeling to admire the moon in the courtyard of the Eastern Palace. After Xi'er fell asleep, Lu Chen ordered the palace staff to carry her back to his own palace.

In the end, Qiao Jinniang still went back on her word.

In the wing room of the Taoist temple on Laojun Mountain, the two of them were husband and wife, so they could not get close to each other. It was a beautiful day and the moon was full, so naturally, there was a lot of romance..

Qiao Jinniang could not help but close her eyes when she heard the sound of someone knocking on the door. In her daze, she heard Lu Chen calling for water. She could not get up, so she let Lu Chen help her clean up.

During the mid-autumn Festival, there were three days of rest. However, Lu Chen also woke up at 15:00 PM every day and got up on Tiptoe.

Not long after, Yu Yan entered and said, “Your Highness, there is news from the Empress Dowager’s palace that the crown prince and his imperial consort are to go to the empress dowager’s place to treat her illness.”

It was natural for juniors to treat their elders. Back then, when the Empress had just entered the palace, the Empress Dowager had also used this matter to train the empress. However, at that time, Empress Zhou had mentioned to the empress dowager every day how concubine Zhou was.

The empress dowager really detested Empress Zhou and was unwilling to see her, so she gave up.

At that time, Lu Chen was unwilling to let Qiao Jinniang serve as the Crown Prince’s consort because he was afraid that the Empress Dowager would be upset. Later on, the Empress Dowager felt that Qiao Jinniang’s status was low and that Qiao Jinniang had a way of flattering her, so she did not train her much.

Serving the elders was an extremely tiring thing.

Qiao Jinniang heard Yuyan’s voice and slowly woke up. She took a handkerchief from the side, covered it with it, and yawned. “The Empress Dowager won’t use the tricks of the common folk to torture me, right?”

Lu Chen said, “Just don’t go. I’ll tell father that you’re not feeling well.”

“There’s no need,”Qiao Jinniang said. “You can’t escape from left and right. Besides, can the Empress Dowager openly deal with me?”

Lu Chen whispered in Qiao Jinniang’s ear, “You go to the Empress Dowager’s palace. be careful of the rice sachets.”

Qiao Jinniang instantly became spirited. She couldn’t be contaminated by the rice sachets. “Help me pass a message to Fu Lu and Li Lingling. Let them enter the palace together to treat the empress dowager’s illness!”

Qiao Jinniang didn’t believe that the Empress Dowager could harm her own granddaughter and favorite niece.

After washing up and putting on her makeup, Qiao Jinniang saw Lu Chen walking with her and asked, “Although it’s Xiumu today, you’ve been on Laojun Mountain for many days. The Eastern Palace is busy. Do you still want to go with me?”

Lu Chen said, “The officials in the eastern palace are not to be trifled with. What’s more important is that I’m afraid that the empress dowager will do something vicious!”

Qiao Jinniang and Lu Chen went to the Empress Dowager’s palace.

The Empress Dowager was having breakfast. Qiao Jinniang saw the veins on the empress dowager’s hands pop out. It was terrifying. Looking at the black and blue in her eyes, she no longer looked like a human. It could be seen that the empress dowager was really beyond cure.

A nanny at the side lit some white powder for the empress dowager to smell. After the empress dowager smelled the powder, she became spirited and said, “I’m old. In the future, I’ll have to trouble the Crown Princess consort to serve me well.”

“Grandmother, what are you talking about? It is the fortune of a granddaughter-in-law to be able to take care of you.”Qiao Jinniang did not dare to approach. The white powder lit up a sweet smell.

She held her breath and did not dare to breathe. Her instincts told her that there must be something fishy about this white powder!
