Traveling through famine years, peasant girls hold space in their hands to store food

After the worship of the ancestral temple.

Xiao Zimo, dressed in imperial robes, was helped by eunuchs to slowly ascend the throne and began to accept congratulations from all officials.

All I heard was everyone in the hall shouting in unison: Long live the emperor!

Xiao Zimo waved his hand: Everyone, please stand up!

At this time, an imperial decree was announced to change the country's name to Shang Yuan. The new emperor ascended the throne and granted amnesty to the world, and all officials congratulated!

It was not until the evening that Lu Qingqing saw Chu Haochen return to Prince Chen's Mansion. She walked up to him and looked at his face: "How are you today? Are you feeling well?"

Chu Haochen smiled faintly on his handsome face and reached out to stop her. He rested his chin on her shoulder and said softly, "My lady, I'm hungry."

Lu Qingqing patted his back helplessly and asked him to sit down and rest for a while. She asked someone to go to the kitchen...

"I want to eat the tomato noodles made by my wife. Can we go to the space?"

Seeing Chu Haochen acting like a spoiled child, Lu Qingqing shook her head helplessly and laughed, then she took his hand and disappeared into the room.

Lu Qingqing took him straight to the back kitchen of the space. Looking at the vegetables placed inside, she reached out and took out two tomatoes, washed them, and began to cut them with a knife.

She also casually called out to Chu Haochen to help her make a fire.

The corners of Chu Haochen's lips curled up slightly, and he walked to the stove and lit the fire.

Looking at the busy figure of the little woman, the arc of Chu Haochen's lips became deeper and deeper. He really hoped that the two of them could continue like this.

"Qing'er, let's prepare to go to Shili Village in a few days, okay?"

Lu Qingqing paused, turned her head to glance at him, and said "hmm" in a daze. In fact, she also wanted to go back to Shili Village. She hadn't been there for a long time.

Chu Haochen smiled and started talking to her about the changes in the court. The new emperor had rewarded many people after he ascended the throne, including his two uncles from the Liu family.

Although my eldest uncle was awarded the title of marquis, my younger uncle was promoted to the position of Minister of Rites, and even Old Madam Liu was granted an imperial decree.

"Really?" Lu Qingqing's eyes widened. She didn't expect that the new emperor still remembered the Liu family's support in the past.

Chu Haochen nodded slightly, and then mentioned that Lu Anping of the Lu family was also promoted to a first-rank general, and his father-in-law was awarded the title of Duke of Rong.

Lu Qingqing's mouth was so wide open that an egg could fit in it, but she felt relieved when she thought of Tiantian who would enter the palace in the future. As long as Tiantian's father and brother were there in the palace, no one could shake her position.

Moreover, the emperor has abdicated and become the emperor emeritus. Even the Thirteenth Prince was given the title of Prince Ke, and the little princess was given the title of Princess Xiyue.

"Everything is settled now. I, the God of War General, can retire now."

When Lu Qingqing heard her words, she burst out laughing and comforted him that he should not retire after achieving success in their family. Seeing that the little ones were growing up day by day, he would still be busy in the future.

After saying that, Lu Qingqing brought the prepared tomato noodles to the table and called out to Chu Haochen to come and eat while it was hot.

Chu Haochen pulled her to sit at the table. Looking at the big bowl of noodles in front of him, the corners of his lips curved up and he began to wolf it down.

To be honest, he was really hungry after being in the hot summer all day, and he had been craving for this for a long time.

"You didn't make the master his favorite food for dinner today to appease the old man. You are such a child!"

Lu Qingqing and Chu Haochen were talking about Sally from Southern Xinjiang who said that she would arrive tomorrow and she would follow them back soon. It was unknown when they would meet again in the future.

Chu Haochen nodded and told Lu Qingqing to take care of these things.

The next morning, Lu Qingqing and Chu Haochen arrived at Lu Mansion.

Many people came to visit the Lu Mansion today. They all knew that the new emperor had ascended the throne, and the designated queen was from the Lu Mansion, hehe...

Chu Haochen was called away by Grandpa Lu, and she came to her grandmother's yard. At this time, in the yard, besides her mother, there were also some officials' wives.

Lu Qingqing was not very familiar with most of them, but seeing her mother chatting with them with ease, the corners of her lips curled up slightly and she glanced at Nanny Wang behind her mother.

It seems that my original decision was right.

"Oh, this is Princess Chen, she is indeed the most beautiful woman in our Great Yuan! Zhen'er, why don't you come over and meet Princess Chen."

After her grandmother reminded her, Lu Qingqing realized that the lady who was speaking was the wife of Marquis Wu, and the person who was greeting her was the concubine of the mansion.

Lu Qingqing curled the corners of her lips and nodded slightly towards the charming woman in front of her who was as delicate as a lotus in clear water.

"Miss Xu, there's no need to be polite. Please take a seat."

As she spoke, Xu Miaolan slowly sat down, with a shy expression on her face. But from her eyes, it could be seen that this girl was not an ordinary person.

Lu Qingqing listened to Madam Xu chatting with her grandmother and sneered in her heart. Madam Xu probably had a purpose for taking her concubine out today. But she didn't know why...

Mrs. Xu has always praised the daughters raised by Liu for being so outstanding.

The topic was always about Lu Qingqing. She held the tea and blew it gently, staring at the tender leaves in the tea bowl in a trance.

"Princess Chen, I often hear the young ladies around me mention Princess Chen. They all admire her very much. Can I..." Xu Miaolan said shyly. At this time, Madam Xu interrupted her and said.

"Prince Chen's Concubine Miaolan is two years younger than you. She rarely leaves the house. I wonder if she can come to your house to talk to you if she has the chance. She admires you the most."

After Mrs. Xu finished speaking, she raised her hand holding the embroidered handkerchief to her lips and smiled.

Old Mrs. Lu and Mrs. Liu looked at Lu Qingqing, smiled and said nothing.

"Madam Xu, I am not trying to save your and Miss Xu's face. I am really just a woman in the inner house. What can I talk about? Don't you agree?"

Lu Qingqing declined tactfully. She glanced at Xu Miaolan and saw her twisting an embroidered handkerchief in her hands. She paused for a moment before speaking.

"Princess Chen, please don't blame me. I really admire you. Father often teaches us to learn from you..."

Lu Qingqing listened to the mother and daughter chattering non-stop and was too lazy to think about it anymore. At this time, Old Madam Lu spoke up to smooth things over. Her granddaughter worked hard in the huge Chen Palace all day long and it was not easy for her to find time off!

"Yes!" Liu also spoke at this time.

Madam Xu took one look and continued to probe the topic: "It is true that one person is responsible for managing the entire mansion, big and small. It is very laborious and tiring! In fact, this matter is easy to handle. The princess has never thought of helping the prince to take a concubine..."

After hearing her words, everyone in the room shut their mouths and turned their eyes to Lu Qingqing.

She tilted her head and asked everyone with an indifferent look: "Why are you all looking at me? Although the prince said before the wedding that there will only be me in the backyard of the palace, it depends on whether the prince is willing to take a concubine! The prince will not accept any ugly girl, what do you think?"

When everyone heard this, they immediately responded.
