Quick Travel: Jing Yuan's Wanderings

On April 10, two imperial edicts were issued.

First, Shangshu Jiang and his entire family, including his father, son, and brother, were confiscated and exiled to the bitter cold land of Northeast China.

Secondly, Ci Roupin's maternal grandfather, Lu Yunxiang, the daughter of the Lu family, a newly-appointed imperial merchant and a wealthy man in Jiangnan, was the concubine of the legitimate prince Helian Cheng.

Kunning Palace.

After listening to Nanny Jiang's report, Yan Wan'er's eyes were red with anger and she swept the teacup on the table to the ground with a wave of her hand.

Immediately issue an imperial decree:

[Shangguan Rou, the daughter of a criminal minister, was unworthy of being a concubine, so she was demoted to a commoner and moved to Yongxiang.]

Madam Jiang immediately cursed and knelt on the ground, crying to stop him:

"Master, Madam, you must not do this!

The emperor is protecting Concubine Rou like this, and acting like this, I'm afraid..."

"Huh! What?

Afraid he would depose her?

Or are you afraid that he will poison me?

Do you want him to dare too?

If anything happens to me, Shangguan Rou will be buried with me!

Is he willing to do so?

Hahaha……

What a scene of two hearts loving each other without any doubt!

It would have been fine if Helian Ji had broken his oath and bullied and tortured me in every way, but now he won't even let Cheng'er go!

If he refuses to withdraw the imperial decree granting the marriage, during the tenth day's court session, I will hold a letter from the Empress Dowager and go to court to make a death-defying appeal!

If Cheng'er dares to go against my wishes and marry the daughter of the Lu family, he will no longer recognize me as his mother.

I will just pretend that I don't have a son like him!"

The queen was furious and did not keep silent, so Helian Ji received the news immediately.

He pinched his brows helplessly, and immediately sent people to intercept the imperial edict of the Empress Dowager and go to Kunning Palace!

Helian Ji waved his hand to stop the palace servants from reporting. He waved his hand to signal everyone to leave and entered the inner hall alone.

"Wan'er!"

Yan Wan'er, who was lying on the chaise longue, frowned in disgust.

Lower your eyes and close your gaze, out of sight, out of mind.

"Tsk, what? Your Majesty, are you here to question me?

There is no need for that. Just issue an order to depose me!"

"Wan'er, I misunderstood you before.

Concubine Rou was weak and couldn't keep the baby. After the miscarriage, she was too sad, so she said and did something wrong and made false accusations..."

"Hehehe... Your Majesty, do you believe what you said?"

Helian Ji was in the wrong and had no words to say.

For a moment, the room was silent.

After a long while, Helian Ji finally let out a long sigh.

"Wan'er, you and I are young married couples, why did it come to this?"

"You should ask your Majesty about this!"

Helian Ji choked, and after half a cup of tea he spoke coldly.

"Queen, tell me, what will it take for you to let Rou'er go?"

"Tsk, hahahaha...

If Your Majesty is willing to let Cheng'er go, I will naturally let...the concubine...Shangguan Rou go!"

"I have let you down, why bother making things difficult for her!

Besides, Lu Yunxiang is a good——"

"She looks like Shangguan Rou, isn't she a good person?

Wish to be one-hearted, Baishou will not separate.

I would rather be a wife from a poor family than a concubine of a prince.

One pair for life people.

The man whom a woman marries must swear in public that he will never marry another man.

Your Majesty failed to depose your legitimate wife and establish your beloved concubine. Why, do you want Cheng'er to do it for you—"

"That's not what I meant!

Lu Yunxiang is very talented in business.

Granting marriage to Cheng'er was also in consideration of the new policy.

Forget it, since you don’t want to, let’s forget about the marriage.

I will confer her the title of county lady as a supplement—"

"Hahahaha...so urgent!

It would be better if I immediately issued an imperial decree to summon her into the palace and confer the title of Fragrant Concubine.

This will also help Your Majesty to ease his longing for his former beloved concubine Rou."

"Queen, you are so outrageous!"

"Hahahaha... What? Could it be that I have touched your Majesty's heart?"

"Yan Wan'er, stop talking nonsense!

Do you really think that I dare not abolish you? "

"Then you are useless?

Deposing your legal wife and exterminating the Yan family, haven't you already thought about this?

What are you waiting for?

It's totally useless!

It's just right to make room for Shangguan Rou!"

Looking at Yan Wan'er, whose eyes were red and who was screaming in despair, Helian Ji suddenly felt a burning pain in his heart!

His legs went limp and he fell directly into the chair.

Sweet memories of my youth fill my mind.

The surging love suddenly awakened him, almost making him breathless.

Wrong, totally wrong!

The mystery was cleared up, and it turned out that from the beginning to the end, he had loved his first wife.

The beautiful past between him and Wan'er was forcibly pinned on Shangguan Rou without her knowing it!

Horror!

Helian Ji was filled with hatred.

Shangguan Rou can’t be kept!

"Wan'er, I was wrong these years.

Please believe me, it was not my intention to treat you well all these years.

I will give you a satisfactory explanation later."

After saying that, he left angrily.

……

An hour later, two additional imperial edicts were issued.

First: Shangguan Rou is treacherous and has committed countless evil deeds, too numerous to list, so she is specially granted three feet of white silk.

Second: The family of Minister Jiang’s wife and the imperial merchant Lu family were sentenced, their property confiscated, and they were exiled to Lingnan.

……

During exile, Lu Yunxiang died suddenly.

In fact, this was not the case. Shangguan Rou and Lu Yunxiang were both secretly detained.

After severe torture, the two men confessed everything.

Shangguan Rou, who was completely abandoned by the palace fighting system, had gone mad and was directly sentenced to death!

The bodies were thrown into a mass grave.

Helian Ji took the confession and went to find Yan Wan'er. They talked in detail all night long. The emperor and the empress finally resolved their misunderstandings and their love was as good as before.

Yan Wan'er was born into a prominent family. She was beautiful and intelligent, meticulous, talented, virtuous and worthy of being the mother of a country.

After reading the testimonies of the two people, I couldn't help but yearn for the peaceful and prosperous era a thousand years from now when men and women are equal, transportation is convenient, people are wealthy, and business is prosperous.

As for Shangguan Rou? It's better not to mention it.

Lu Yunxiang and everyone in the Lu family are truly innocent.

He then proposed to transform Lu Yunxiang and adopt her as his adopted daughter.

Help them achieve their ambitions.

As for the Lu family, give them some conveniences and then find an opportunity to pardon them after three to five years.

……

A large number of officials and wealthy businessmen fell into trouble, and the land in the suburbs of Beijing suddenly became rich. Lieutenant General Jing Yuan hurried to look for Qian Sanwen.

He spent 2000 taels of silver to purchase the 50-acre Rose Farm adjacent to Taohua Villa.

It just so happens that Jing Chuxia and Jing Xiaoman, one each, are equally matched.

By the end of May, all was well in the English palace.

Lieutenant General Jing Yuan, whose front teeth had all fallen out, knew that he didn't have much time left, so he completely let himself go, hiding in his old house from time to time to secretly stockpile supplies.

When Jing Chuxia turned 16, Qian Banliang couldn't wait and asked an official matchmaker to propose marriage.

A year had passed after the three books and six ceremonies were completed.

Jing Xiaoman has also redeemed her indenture, and with the recommendation of the Yan family, she entered the newly established official school in the suburbs of Beijing.

Then, she became busy preparing her dowry.

He managed to hold on until he was 38 and married his daughter, but three months later he ran out of energy and died.

Alas, I was not able to take the imperial examination, what a pity...
