Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Xiao Zeyu was afraid that Su Qing would soften his heart and make Yun ‘er stay, so he immediately stopped pretending to be drunk. He quickly got up and carried Yun’ er out of the palace before Su Qing agreed.
“Imperial Father, I want to sleep with Imperial Mother.”
Yun’ er clenched her fists and protested to Xiao Zeyu.
“Yun ‘er, be good. Go back and sleep well. Tomorrow, Father will reward you with something fun.”
“What fun?”
Yun’ er had indeed fallen for his trick. She asked Xiao Zeyu with her big black eyes.
“A bird that can fly in the sky.”
Xiao Zeyu made up a random story. He would make an eagle-shaped kite for his daughter to play with so he wouldn’t lie to her.
As expected, Yun’ er was the easiest to fool. She looked forward to the bird that could fly in the sky that her father mentioned.
After he finally managed to trick Yun’ er into leaving, Xiao Zeyu turned to look at Ziqi. This child had his hands behind his back as he looked at him in deep thought. That pair of clear black and white eyes filled with wisdom seemed to see through everything.
Seeing his father looking at him, Ziqi shook her head and sighed. Xiao Zeyu stiffly turned his face away.
At this moment, he suddenly felt that it was not good for the child to be too smart!
After sending off the pair of children, only the husband and wife were left in Cining Palace.
“Shuisheng, I heard that you had a romantic encounter.”
Xiao Zeyu had just sipped the hangover soup when he heard Su Qing’s unhurried voice. He spat it all out and nervously said to Su Qing,
“…. I’ve already dealt with it.”
“You handled it well. I’ve decided to remove your love gu.”
Su Qing took out her Luan saber and smiled at Xiao Zeyu.
“No need; I’m safe with the love Gu.”
Xiao Zeyu shook his head thoughtfully. He didn’t want any other woman anyway. It didn’t matter whether he had the love gu or not. However, having this could prevent people with ulterior motives from using the gu on him. It was not bad.
“Qing ‘er, I was just about to tell you about this. The position of salt official has been vacated. I want to promote Daniu. Do you think it’s possible?”
Xiao Zeyu changed the topic. This was also something he wanted to discuss with Su Qing.
The main reason was that Li Daniu was not talented, but he was not greedy, so there was no need to worry about him being corrupt.
Xiao Zeyu had always wanted Li Daniu to live a carefree life as a rich man. This was the best arrangement for him.
However, Xiao Zeyu felt he could be at ease keeping Li Daniu by his side after the Ming Zhu sisters’ incident.
Moreover, Li Daniu had an official position, even the salt official position that everyone coveted. It would be easy to arrange a marriage for him in the future. He could find a daughter from a noble family for him.
Otherwise, scholars, farmers, businessmen, and merchants were the lowest class. Even if you were the richest in the world, they would still be inferior.
If the young lady of an official family married a merchant, it would be a low marriage. Very few people would be willing to marry. Even if they were married, they would look down on their husbands.
It could be said that Xiao Zeyu was very thoughtful for Li Daniu. He took even more care of him than Jiang Laoqi.
“Daniu is qualified. He’s much more mature than he was two years ago. He has some experience in managing the winery for a long time. There are similarities between being an official and doing business. He knows how to use people and is honest. Daniu has all these qualities.”
Su Qing nodded. She also felt that Li Daniu was qualified.
“Qing ‘er, let’s sleep. It’s time to give Ziqi and Yun’ Er a little brother or sister.”
After Xiao Zeyu finished talking about his work, he looked at Su Qing intently. His father-in-law and uncle were in their forties but still strong and vigorous. He was in his prime. How could he be at a disadvantage in this kind of thing?
Su Qing saw the fire in Xiao Zeyu’s eyes and smiled. That’s good, too. If they don’t fight, they’ll have children. Having more children would save them from the boredom of life.
Xiao Zeyu hugged her shoulders and walked towards the bed. This night was a spring breeze and rain, like honey mixed with oil!
The following day, Xiao Zeyu went to court with a beaming face. Su Qing called Xiao Qi over to see Little Lingling.
Xiao Qi was pleased. Yesterday, Master did not agree to let Little Lingling follow her, which worried Xiao Qi. Luckily, Master was willing to see Little Lingling!
Seeing Xiao Qi’s happy expression, Su Qing’s cold eyes had a hint of a smile.
After following her through life and death for so long, this was the first time Xiao Qi begged her. No matter what, she had to give her face.
Su Qing followed Xiao Qi to the western part of the city. Xiao Qi flew up.
“Master, I’ll go get Little Lingling.”
Su Qing nodded and saw Xiao Qi fly into the forest.
After waiting for a while, Xiao Qi flew out of the forest with a snow-white, fairy-like spirit beast.
Master, it’s little Lingling.”
Xiao Qi introduced Su Qing to her Master. She held Little Lingling’s hand the whole time, acting like a girlfriend.
“Master?” Little Lingling looked at Su Qing shyly.
“Can I call you Master?” he asked timidly.
Xiao Qi looked at her Master pleadingly. Su Qing looked at her and nodded.
“Okay.”
Xiao Qi and Little Lingling hugged each other happily. Su Qing couldn’t help but smile when she saw how happy they were.
Half a month later, Jiang Laoqi’s family brought the swallows into the capital. Xiao Zeyu gave the residence of Salt Official Li Wei to Zhong Yong.
Li Wei’s house was even more magnificent than Su Hanxuan’s house. It was said that he had spent three million taels of silver to carve beams and painted pillars. Even the corridors were painted with gold. The furnishings in the house were even more luxurious. The furniture was brand new and made of the most valuable wood.
It could be seen how much effort he had put into it. Zhong Yong was lucky. Li Wei had been executed by dismembering him less than three months after he moved into this residence.
To drive away Li Wei’s lousy luck, Xiao Zeyu even asked his uncle’s Master to help him drive away the evil in the clean house and re-arrange the Feng Shui array to leave good luck and get rid of bad luck. To let Zhou Bo take action, Su Qing specially brewed 50 jars of Overlord Drunk for him to let his uncle’s master drink as much as he wanted.
Jiang Laoqi’s family should have arranged to stay at the relay station, but Xiao Zeyu had ordered people to lead the Jiang family into the palace.
Since the palace had plenty of empty rooms, he would pick a palace closer to Cining Palace and tidy it up for the Jiang family to live in.
As a girl about to get married, Jiang Yuyan couldn’t see Zhong Yong before she got married. She had been separated from Zhong Yong for over two months and greatly missed him. However, she had already waited for three years so a few more days wouldn’t make a difference.
Su Qing treated Jiang Yuyan very well. She embroidered a wedding gown for her and draped it over her with a silk garment that was as thin as a cicada’s wing. It was so beautiful that Jiang Yuyan was moved to tears.
“Niangniang, you are so good to me.”
“Just call me Sister Su Qing!”
Su Qing still liked her old life. There was no hierarchy. Everyone was the same. A few girls liked to surround her and call her Sister Su Qing. She missed the feeling of being relied on and adored.
Auntie Jiang was now an imperial noble, and her temperament had changed dramatically from when she escaped famine. She had the air of a matriarch, and her graceful and gorgeous clothes made her look more noble.
It wasn’t easy for her to see her daughter get married. She and her son wanted nothing more than to give the best to Yuyan as dowry.
On their wedding day, Xiao Zeyu and Su Qing became Zhong Yong’s in-laws and held a grand wedding for Zhong Yong and Jiang Yuyan.
The Emperor personally officiated the wedding, and all the officials in the court did not dare to neglect it. They all came to support..
