The Road of the Concubine's First Wife

Chapter 258

The empress dowager's funeral was held for more than half a month, and that day was just the burial. After the burial, there were still many things to do. Everyone in the palace was as busy as a spinning top. There is a big difference. It is said that there are countless etiquette and ceremonies.Chu Dichen was also busier than before. It had nothing to do with dealing with court affairs, but also helping the emperor with the Empress Dowager's affairs.But this time is troublesome again, and there are many forces just around the corner.Therefore, Qiao Jiuxiu has not had the scissors Chu Dichen for a long time.I don't know how he is doing recently, whether he has lost weight or lost weight.

However, the burden of the palace has been completely handed over to Qiao Jiuxiu, who has to go in and out with Yingluan every day, after all, there is a big family to manage.In addition, spring is coming soon, and farmers should be organized to start purchasing rice and seeds for the spring equinox.The plan for a year lies in spring, and spring is the key to planting seeds. If you are negligent at this time, it will definitely affect the harvest of the year.Fortunately, Yingluan was very clear about these things before, so there was no mistake, otherwise she was only afraid that she would cause trouble for Chu Dichen.

Finally finished the work on the vernal equinox, she and Yingluan finally had two days to rest, and while they were chatting, they found that Chu Dichen had returned in a hurry.Qiao Jiuxiu got up quickly, she hadn't seen him for half a month, so naturally she missed him very much, in fact, he probably came home every night, but at that time Qiao Jiuxiu had already fallen asleep, before she woke up , he went to court again.So, all missed.Of course, she also thought about staying up late and waiting for him to come back, but every time she couldn't help but have a date with Zhou Ding first. Later, Chu Dichen felt distressed and refused to let Qiao Jiuxiu wait for him.

"Master, you're finally back." Qiao Jiuxiu simply got into Chu Dichen's arms. It's been a long time since I saw him. Naturally, he wanted to get close. Yingluan has always been very discerning, so he didn't wait for Chu Dichen. After Chen ordered, he retreated obediently, creating a very good space for the two of them.Qiao Jiuxiu huddled in Chu Dichen's arms, "Do you know how long I haven't seen you?"

But his body was stiff, with a troubled expression on his face, he slightly pushed Qiao Jiuxiu away, "Xiu'er, I miss you too, but this time I come here, I have something to tell you. If possible, you It's best to go back to Qiao Mansion and live there for three to five days."

"En?" Qiao Jiuxiu frowned, although she had no objection to him letting him go home, but it was somewhat too sudden, did Qiao's house encounter any troubles and needed to be taken care of by herself?Or is it that the Prince's Mansion is about to encounter trouble, so Chu Dichen plans to let himself go to Qiao's Mansion for refuge?No matter which one, she didn't want to see it.Chu Dichen knew that if he didn't say one, two, three, Qiao Jiuxiu would definitely not agree to his request, so he said. "Today, the emperor completely dismissed General Ye from all his official positions and let him go home to retire. I know this matter will deal a certain blow to the Qiao family, so I want you to go back and have a look, and give them a reassurance by the way. , as long as the Ye family collapses, the court will not do anything to offend the Qiao family. Don't worry, even if the sky falls, I will support it."

Qiao Jiuxiu nodded, the collapse of the Ye family is only a matter of time.In fact, General Ye has always been loyal and courageous, and he has made a lot of contributions to the court. It is no exaggeration to say that half of this country was brought down bit by bit by him when he was young, following the late emperor.It's a pity that he followed the third prince. In order to get rid of the third prince, the emperor dismissed him from his official position.Thinking about it now, I still feel that General Ye is a bit pitiful.

The Qiao Mansion is not the same as the Ye family, but it is still the family of the children, so it has been affected to some extent. Qiao Shaotang is still an official in the court. Now that he does not have the backing of General Ye, he does not know how much he will suffer.In the final analysis, the officialdom is a place of connections. If you don't have a wide network, you will be excluded soon.And she has no way to let Chu Dichen take care of her elder brother, she doesn't want him to be too embarrassed.

He has been exhausted recently, so stop worrying about her affairs.So Qiao Jiuxiu nodded slightly, "Well, I see. Don't worry, I'll go home right away to see what's going on at home. I'll come back after staying for three to five days. Don't miss me too much." Joking around happily, Chu Dichen was also very helpful, scratching Qiao Jiuxiu's nose, "How could I miss you? I miss you before you leave."

Knowing that his mouth was always full of sweet words, Qiao Jiuxiu snorted. Although she pretended not to care, she was still happy, "Don't worry, I remember going early and returning early. When I was not at home, You must remember to rest well, of course the most important thing is that you must not go to other women behind my back, I will keep Yingluan by your side and supervise."

Qiao Jiuxiu said this, but she had other plans in her heart.Chu Dichen's elimination of the power of the Three Princes will definitely provoke the hatred of many people, maybe someone will hire a killer to attack him, Yingluan is good at skills, staying by Chu Dichen's side can also have someone to take care of him, and Yingluan is a man Smart, when dealing with emergencies, he will also come up with a good response plan.

"No need." Qiao Jiuxiu worked hard, and Chu Dichen naturally knew that there were many conveniences for Yingluan to stay by his side, but compared to this, he was more worried that Qiao Jiuxiu would encounter unexpected events, so he still left Yingluan with him. She is fine.He is a man and will take care of himself. "Yingluan follows you, so that if you steal a man behind my back, she will tell me."

Qiao Jiuxiu rolled her eyes, must she be so out of shape?But having said that, if Yingluan really sees that a man is cheating on Qiao Jiuxiu, she might just send that man to heaven without waiting to report to Chu Dichen.This is the quality of being a professional killer.Qiao Jiuxiu couldn't survive Chu Dichen in the end, so she could only keep Yingluan by her side, but reminded him to pay attention to his own safety.

Chu Dichen nodded, and he took Qiao Jiuxiu's advice very well, and gently hugged her into his arms, "Don't worry, I will take care of myself. After you arrive at Qiao's residence, you must be careful everywhere."

Qiao Jiuxiu nodded, but he was just going back to his home, so he didn't need to be so nervous.

So he simply packed up his luggage and saw that Yingluan was waiting for him outside, so he briefly told her about the conversation with Chu Dichen just now, Yingluan nodded, and found a carriage, and the two got into the carriage , walked towards Qiao's mansion.Qiao Jiuxiu was sitting in the carriage, but she didn't know what to say after they met.Although she is the daughter of the Qiao family, she is already married and feels like an outsider.It's not easy for her to intervene in Qiao's affairs.

Yingluan was sitting on the other side of the carriage. Seeing Qiao Jiuxiu's displeasure, she asked, "Princess, what are you thinking about? Aren't you just coming back? Why are you so worried?"

Qiao Jiuxiu shook her head, she really envied Yingluan, not only was she powerful, she seemed to have nothing to worry about, she was very confident all day long, but she was in her early twenties, working as a housekeeper in a huge palace , there will never be a lady's servant who is dissatisfied with her.She thought that if she could be like Yingluan one day, she would be considered mature.

But, why does she have to use Yingluan's standards to demand herself?We must know that everyone is a unique copy in the world.

"Yingluan, I'm just thinking about how to comfort everyone when I enter the Qiao Mansion later. The collapse of the Ye family has had a great impact on the Qiao Mansion." Qiao Jiuxiu bit her lip, she never spoke, she was afraid that she would say something If not, it made everyone unhappy.

"Miss, if you don't know what you should say, then don't say anything. Just let Qiao's family understand that you are here to accompany Qiao's family through difficulties, not to watch the excitement. I think Madam Qiao I will be very grateful in my heart, and I won’t feel any discomfort in my heart.”

Qiao Jiuxiu nodded, it seemed that there was only one way.It has to be said that Yingluan just had an idea, and after thinking about how to deal with it later, the expression on her face became much calmer.The carriage soon stopped outside Qiao's mansion, Qiao Jiuxiu thought about not letting his wife come to pick him up, and walked through the middle gate, the guards at the middle gate had seen him, so they probably wouldn't stop her.

All the way into Qiao's mansion without hindrance, Qiao Jiuxiu thought that his wife should be in the Buddhist hall at this time, so he went to find his wife alone, while Yingluan stayed outside the Buddhist hall, paying attention to the changes in the nearby plants and trees.She didn't think it was dangerous, but her body was used to the feeling of high tension, and she couldn't let herself relax completely for a while.

Qiao Jiuxiu entered the Buddhist hall, and sure enough, he saw his wife was praying to the Buddha, muttering something.She stood aside, not to be disturbed.Knowing that praying to the Buddha must be pious, so I followed my wife to worship the Bodhisattva, hoping that it can bless all things smoothly.She knows that there is no Buddha in this world, but she also wants to express her anxiety through prayers.

After the wife finished reading a section of Buddhist scriptures, she got up slowly and was about to leave the Buddhist hall, but when she turned around, she saw Qiao Jiuxiu.Qiao Jiuxiu looked at his wife with a smile, and nodded slightly to her.

"Jiu girl, when did you come back?" The wife frowned, was she too focused just now, and didn't even notice that an outsider broke in.However, the expression on his face was only surprise, not the slightest bit of displeasure.

Qiao Jiuxiu walked up to his wife, "I was very homesick, so I told the prince, and he asked me to come back and have a look."
