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

Lu Qingqing came to the Lu Mansion today with her three children. As soon as she got off the carriage, Liu came out to greet her.

"Hey, grandma's three babies are here."

Liu Ma Lian walked forward happily and looked at the children in the wet nurse's arms. After not seeing them for some time, the children had grown a lot.

As he said that, he told the maidservant beside him to quickly take the people in, as it was very sunny outside today and the treasures should not be exposed to the sun.

"Yes, ma'am." Xia Qin bowed and quickly led the wet nurse holding a few young masters towards the inner courtyard.

Lu Qingqing and his wife walked up from behind and called out to Liu softly, "Mom!"

"Hey, come in quickly."

Lu Qingqing smiled slightly and followed her mother's footsteps, walking straight towards the inner courtyard. They came to Old Madam Lu's yard and could hear the sound of the old lady teasing the children from afar.

"Hey, Grandma's little darlings!"

As she spoke, Lian Niang carried the little treasure in her arms to the old lady, and the two wet nurses behind her put the children on the couch.

At this time, Lu Qingqing and his wife and Liu came in. "Mother."

"Granddaughter greets grandmother." Lu Qingqing and Chu Haochen bowed together.

Madam Lu kept asking them to sit down. She did not stop playing with the little treasure in her arms while she was talking. She kept saying:

"The more I look at this child, the more I feel that he looks just like Qingqing. Dabao and Erbao look very similar to Haochen."

Liu sat next to her mother-in-law and looked at the three well-behaved children. She was very happy.

The second child is the one who knows how to please and please others. The eldest child, on the other hand, is much calmer and indeed very similar to Chu Haochen.

Lu Qingqing looked at the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law surrounding the child and told them that she and her husband were going back to Shili Village.

"What? You guys are going back to Shili Village. When?"

Old Mrs. Lu asked with a frown, then handed the little treasure in her arms to Lian Niang.

Lu Qingqing smiled and looked at Chu Haochen beside her, then explained to her grandmother: "Grandmother, although the poison has been cured, he still needs to recuperate. I thought Shili Village is a good place for recuperation, so I just brought the child to live in Shili Village. He has already told the new emperor about this."

Old Lady Lu looked at Chu Haochen beside her, her tightly furrowed brows relaxed, and she nodded helplessly, reminding the two that Haochen's body did need recuperation. He had been stationed in the border town before, and had many hidden injuries, plus he had been tortured by the poison for so long.

"But don't worry, grandma. We will come back, and Princess Changning will come with us this time."

There was a flash of surprise in the eyes of Old Lady Lu and her daughter-in-law Liu. Would Princess Changning agree to follow them back to the countryside?

Thinking of the changes in Shili Village, Liu nodded in agreement: "In fact, it would be good for Princess Changning to follow us. Although Shili Village is in the countryside, it is very suitable for recuperation."

If Jingyi in the mansion hadn't still been in confinement after giving birth, she really wanted to go back with them to take a look.

Lu Qingqing smiled and persuaded her mother that there was no need to rush as there would be plenty of opportunities in the future.

Just as a few people were chatting, the butler came outside to report.

"Madam, the imperial edict from the palace has arrived outside."

Old Mrs. Lu was shocked. At this time, she looked at Chu Haochen and the other person, only to see that they also had confused expressions on their faces.

He then ordered them to go to the front quickly to receive the order.

Lu Qingqing stepped forward and together with Liu, supported her grandmother and slowly walked out of the room, not forgetting to instruct Nanny Li to notify the old man.

"Yes, old slave, go right away."

I wonder if the old man is in the study? The old lady was guessing as she walked, but she couldn't figure out what the new emperor's edict meant.

When they arrived at the front hall, they saw Eunuch Xu, the chief eunuch beside the new emperor, waiting there with the imperial edict in his hand, while Mr. Lu and his son were already chatting with Eunuch Xu.

"I wonder what the Emperor's decree this time is, Eunuch Xu..."

"That's good news, old general. Where is the second young lady? Hasn't she arrived yet?" Eunuch Xu asked as he looked around the yard.

Mr. Lu was stunned for a moment and then ordered someone to quickly invite everyone over.

As she spoke, Tiantian and Xia Shuang appeared behind Madam Lu and the others.

"Grandfather, my granddaughter is here."

Tiantian hurried forward, holding Liu's hand, and walked forward with a nervous look on her face. Liu, who was beside her, patted the back of her hand soothingly, with a gentle smile in her eyes.

"Mom, I..."

Liu shook her head slightly, indicating that she would know after listening.

Lu Qingqing and Chu Haochen beside her looked at each other, and they both guessed that the content of the imperial edict should be related to Tiantian.

"Now that everyone is here, we can make rice paper."

Everyone knelt down together, and Lu Qingqing supported her grandmother and knelt down as well.

Eunuch Xu, who was sitting at the top of the table, smiled as he unfolded the imperial edict: "In compliance with the will of Heaven, the Emperor proclaims that, in compliance with the benevolent instructions of the Supreme Emperor, the second legitimate daughter of the Duke of Rong, Lu, is sweet and prudent, talented and virtuous, and is hereby granted the title of Empress Jiarong. The officials are ordered to select an auspicious day for the ceremony."

Lu Qingqing lowered her eyes and raised the corners of her lips slightly. At this moment, the smile in the eyes of old lady Lu beside her could not be suppressed.

Only Tiantian was still kneeling there in a daze.

"Empress Jiarong, please accept my order quickly?"

Eunuch Xu sealed the bright yellow imperial edict with both hands.

At this time, Liu reminded Tiantian to go and receive the imperial edict. Tiantian blushed when she realized what was happening. She quickly stretched out her hand to take the imperial edict and kowtowed to express her gratitude.

"General Lu, our mission has been completed, so we won't stay any longer."

Eunuch Xu bowed to Grandpa Lu. At this time, Lu Qingqing winked at Uncle Yu, who immediately understood and took out a purse and handed it to Grandpa Lu.

"Thank you for your hard work, Eunuch Xu. Please accept this small gift."

Mr. Lu stuffed the purse into his hands and spoke with a smile.

At this time, Eunuch Xu embarrassedly refused, and was persuaded by Lu Jiang on the side before he reluctantly accepted it.

"Then I would like to congratulate you all. Please stay."

As he said this, he took the young eunuch and walked towards the gate of the mansion. Lu Jiang called Yu Bo to come forward to see him off.

Lu Qingqing looked at Tiantian who was still in a daze and raised her lips and joked: "Is the Queen now feeling relieved?"

"Sister..." Hearing Tiantian calling her with a long tail tone, Lu Qingqing couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Then Tiantian told everyone to put away the imperial edict first, turned around and said goodbye to everyone.

Lu Qingqing supported her grandmother and followed her mother back to her grandmother's yard, while Chu Haochen was dragged by Grandpa Lu to play chess.

Before leaving, he said that he was happy today and wanted to win a few more games.

Chu Haochen smiled apologetically and nodded.

The three generations of grandparents and grandchildren returned to their grandmother's yard and talked about the emperor's wedding.

Liu frowned as she was planning on preparing a dowry for Tiantian, and all these had to be prepared in advance.

"Don't worry, mother. Madam Qi, please go outside the door and watch over it so no one can disturb you."

As she spoke, she waved her hand and took out many boxes and cages from the space.

"What are these..." Liu looked at her daughter with confusion.
