Jiu Zhang Ji: The Daily Life of the Reborn Daughter

Chapter 238 Is the Dust Settled?

The grand court meeting of Dayan was attended by many heroes.

Emperor Yong'an did not handle any government affairs today, but only rewarded meritorious officials.

Duke Dingguo Qiao Xuan was given the hereditary title of King of Pingxi.

The Prince of Pingxi, Qiao Peng, was appointed as the second-rank general of chariots and cavalry.

Xiao Wenchu ​​was appointed as the third-rank General of Cavalry and was given the title of Princess of Changping.

The prince of Zhenbei, Xiao Wenyuan, was appointed as the fifth-rank General Ningyuan.

Confer Huo Wuwei as...

Confer the title of Zuoqiu Linlang as...

Feng Shangzhen........

........

More than one hundred officials of high rank were rewarded this time, but no official in the court dared to raise any objection. No one could match their contribution to expanding the territory. Moreover, all the people in Dayan were so happy now, as if they had been injected with chicken blood.

Those small countries that often come to harass, burn, kill and loot will now be under the jurisdiction of our Great Yan. From now on, they will have to be as obedient as cats. There will no longer be dusty soldiers shouting urgent military reports at the city gate. We don’t have to worry about this one coming to fight or that one coming to invade us all day long. The men in our own families can also marry and have children in peace without having to join the army. It’s a happy thought.

Nowadays, there are only some small countries in the southeast left on this continent, including the Lanna Kingdom. These countries are probably trembling in fear now, because if Dayan wants to destroy them now, it would be as easy as waving its hand, without any effort.

It seemed that everything was settled. Western Turks, Northern Mongols and Northern Lands surrendered, Mieyan was gone, and the Saint died. However, Qiao Lili still did not find her mother.

This made Qiao Lili extremely anxious. She even refused to attend court again. She said to Emperor Yong'an, "Father, wait until I find my mother, you can ask me to do anything." When Emperor Yong'an heard this, he smiled so much that he didn't look like an emperor anymore. His face was really full of smiles.

"Girl, remember what you said. Your emperor father's words are golden, and the same goes for you." Yu Linghuan knew that Qiao Lili called him that behind his back. He liked this name very much. It was friendly and warm, like family.

"Yeah, yeah." Qiao Lili nodded repeatedly.

Yu Linghuan ran excitedly to Yunxiao Palace to share the good news with Concubine Yun.

"Tsk, that kid already knew your idea. Whether she agrees or not won't change the result. She might as well agree to you so that she can do her own thing first." Concubine Yun dealt Yu Linghuan a heavy blow.

It turned out that he didn't succeed in setting a trap for the little girl, but the little girl deceived him? The more he thought about it, the more it didn't make sense. Hey, Fei'er is still smart.

Forget it, considering how difficult it will be for her in the future, I'll just forgive her this time.

Emperor Yong'an walked back to the Imperial Study to review memorials, with his hands behind his back and looking back every few steps. When he came, he was like a gust of wind, and when he left, he was as slow as a snail. Old Li even fell asleep following behind him.

Every time Qiao Lili held the jade pendant in her hand, the mark on her forehead would feel hot, but it was just hot and there was no other difference. She asked her father about it, and he said that this was a piece of jade he and her mother found together, and they carved two jade pendants out of it, one he was wearing now, and the other was in Qiao Lili's hand. Qiao Lili also took her father's jade pendant to try, holding it in her hand, kneading and rubbing it, but she didn't feel anything.

That night, after she separated from Yu Jingyan, she lay in bed still thinking about the jade pendant. She had an inexplicable premonition that if she wanted to find her mother, the jade pendant was the key. She knew the secret of the jade pendant the moment she held it in her hand.

Qiao Lili fell asleep holding the jade pendant. She had countless dreams that night.

She dreamed of her mother. She dreamed of her in the Hundred Flowers Valley of Shangchun Mountain. She dreamed of her in the City Lord's Mansion. She dreamed of her mother laughing, dancing with a sword, and sleeping among the flowers. She even dreamed of Fengping Town.

Qiao Lili woke up from her dream with a start. This time, the mark on her forehead was not hot, but the jade pendant in her hand was hot. Why did these places appear in her dream? What was her mother guiding her with?

What surprised Qiao Lili even more was that she felt she had slept for a long time and had many dreams, but actually not a long time had passed and it was not even the hour of Hai yet.

But she didn't want to sleep anymore. How could she sleep? She didn't disturb Caiqin and Caiwei. She got up quietly, dressed herself, led the horse out of the stable, jumped on the horse and ran straight to the city gate. To her surprise, she met Yu Jingyan who was waiting for her at the city gate.

"Have you become Master Wuwei's disciple? Can you tell fortunes?"

"Why don't you say that we are in perfect accord?"

Yu Jingyan had already asked the captain of the city gate guards to open a crack in the city gate. The two of them rode out of the city and soon reached the official road.

Qiao Lili shook the reins and shouted "Gee!" Wuzong let out a long neigh, and his four hooves flew away in a cloud of dust. Yu Jingyan urged Wuying to follow closely.

Half an hour later, the two men and two horses arrived at the foot of Shangchun Mountain one after another. They untied the reins of the two horses and let them forage freely. Qiao Lili and Yu Jingyan held hands, and after a few jumps, their figures disappeared.

That night, Qiao Lili and Yu Jingyan barely communicated. Qiao Lili's anxiety mostly dissipated as they ran all the way. When they arrived at Baihua Valley, they snuggled under a peach tree and watched the stars and the moon. This moon had also shone on the ancients. It had also shone on them when they were children, and it had also shone on their past and present lives.

Qiao Lili, who had been suffering from insomnia, fell asleep silently in Yu Jingyan's arms.

I slept until the birds started singing on the branches of the peach tree.

"Brother Ajing, good morning." Qiao Lili showed Yu Jingyan a smile that she hadn't seen in many days, and Yu Jingyan felt that his sky had brightened.

"Good morning, my little A'Li." Yu Jingyan kissed the dimple on Qiao Lili's lips.

"Brother Ajing, I want to go to the ancient city of Dunhua." For some reason, she didn't seem to have any dreams when she slept under the peach tree in the Hundred Flowers Valley, but when she woke up, all she wanted was to go to the ancient city of Dunhua.

"Okay, I'll accompany you to Dunhua Ancient City." Yu Jingyan lovingly smoothed the messy hair on Qiao Lili's cheek. Not to mention going to Dunhua Ancient City, as long as she could smile, he would accompany little Ali wherever she wanted to go, whether it was heaven or hell.

Yu Jingyan helped Qiao Lili to tie up her hair and tidy up her clothes, then went down the mountain to find Wuzong and Wuying. The two of them took advantage of the early morning when there were few people around and quickly rode their horses into the city.

Before Qiao Lili announced that she was going on a long trip, two wedding invitations hit her.

One is from Su Shiyun and Ke Yang, and the other is from Yunwu and Zhao Luxi.

Su Shiyun's marriage was arranged last year when she came of age and Ke Yang won the first place in the imperial examination. It has been almost a year.

The little girl is sixteen years old now. Girls in Dayan can get married at this age.

I really didn't expect that among the three good sisters Chen Ruxin, Su Shiyun, the youngest Su Shiyun got married first, while the oldest Chen Ruxin has not even started discussing marriage and doesn't seem to be in a hurry at all.

Yunwu was a subordinate of his mother, and his mother had long since freed him from slavery. When he wanted to propose to Zhao Luxi, he reported it to Qiao Lili, who was happy to see it happen. Originally, they had not planned to get married so soon, but Zhao Luxi's stepmother had been making trouble recently and wanted to marry Zhao Luxi to a second-rank official in his forties.

Although he was rejected by Zhao Luxi's father, Yunwu was afraid that Zhao Luxi would still have evil intentions and would do something dirty to Zhao Luxi. It would be too late for him to regret it, so he decided to marry her home as soon as possible to put his mind at ease. He then quickly set a date and went through the three letters and six ceremonies to get married.
