Two months passed in the blink of an eye, all the official business in Jingyang had been completed, and the Wangfu and Anfu families had to move back to Beijing.
An Qi'en's medicine shop and house are all taken care of by special personnel, so you don't have to worry about it. Zhao Yan is also in charge of the orphanage.
After Lu Bochu came to Jingyang, he led the people to live and work in peace and contentment, and took in orphans and children. The lives of the people in Jingyang were much better than before.
On the day Lu Bochu set out to return to Beijing, the whole city knelt down to wait on him.
This matter reached the ears of Emperor Changshun. Among all the princes, only Lu Bochu was the most popular among the people. Moreover, Lu Bochu won the battle and made great contributions. Emperor Changshun was not in good health and wanted to abdicate.
The first thing Lu Bo did when he returned to Beijing was to take his wife and children into the palace to pay their respects to Emperor Changshun and the Queen.
Emperor Changshun and the Empress were so happy when they saw six identical little cubs that they could not tell the difference in size.
Fortunately, An Qien dressed the six children in different clothes so that they could be distinguished easily, otherwise she would not know which one was older and which one was younger.
The queen hugged her and didn't want to let go. She liked it very much and said, "Please keep my grandson in the palace to raise him. If he doesn't have good food and accommodation outside, I have to watch him personally before I can rest assured."
Emperor Changshun agreed: "Your Majesty is right. The palace is so boring and these six little cubs can relieve our boredom."
Lu Bochu smiled and replied: "My father worked hard in the imperial court and took care of everything. My mother also managed the harem, which was very hard. My sons would often come to the palace with their six children to pay their respects to my father and mother."
He must be reluctant to leave such a young child in the palace to support him, and he also knew that An Qi'en would be reluctant to do so.
What parent doesn't want to keep their children by their side to support them.
The queen was holding the third child in her arms, and the little guy kept giggling at the queen, which almost made the queen's heart melt.
"I haven't seen such a rare child for a long time. Let's do it this way. There are six children. I and the emperor will keep two of them with you. How about you raising the rest by yourself?"
An Qien's heart tightened. Each of the six children was her darling, and she could not bear to raise any of them in the palace.
Moreover, the six children were born from the same birth, so separation may cause resentment among the children.
Lu Bochu was equally nervous: "It is my mistress's good fortune to be liked by the Emperor's mother. The child is still young and they are the same mother. It is unbearable to separate mother and son. The son and minister are unfilial. Please forgive me."
When the queen saw this, she gave up the idea.
"I know you are reluctant to let go of your child. Forget it, I can't ignore your fatherly love."
"Thank you, Queen Mother." Lu Bochu bowed.
Emperor Changshun lovingly kissed his grandson's forehead and said with reluctance: "You have given birth to six children now. I just asked you to keep two by your side. That's right. You are a father for the first time." , I must be reluctant to be separated from these six children, so take the children to the palace from time to time to see me and your empress."
Lu Bochu bowed and said, "Thank you very much for your love, father. I will definitely take the children to the palace to see you and your mother-in-law often."
They stayed in the palace until evening before Emperor Changshun and the Queen were willing to let them go back.
On the way back, An Qi'en vaguely heard whispers coming from outside the carriage and on the street.
"I heard that the prince dotes on the princess, and the princess even gave birth to six children at once."
"The virtuous king is capable of both literary and martial arts. The princess is truly blessed."
Lu Bochu also heard these words. The two looked at each other and smiled. He took An Qien's hand and rubbed the back of her hand gently with his thumb. The deep love between husband and wife is worth a thousand words.
.......
Qiao Jianghong heard that An Qi'en was back, and he had been wandering around in front of An's house for the past few days, just to see An Qi'en.
But An Qien didn't show up for several days in a row. He was so anxious that he lost his temper and directly held the iron ring on the door.
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
A boy opened the door. When he saw that the person coming was Qiao Jianghong, he immediately lost his face.
"What are you doing here, Uncle Qiao?"
"Little brother, could you please inform your second lady, I have something important to say to her."
Qiao Jianghong had a humble attitude and stared at the young man with pleading eyes. He had never been so humble before, but he felt that as long as he could save An Qien, everything would be worth it.
The boy smiled contemptuously and scolded: "You can see the princess whenever you want? Why don't you just urinate and see yourself!"
Qiao Jianghong was shocked by a thunderbolt, what! princess!
An Qien is the princess?
"What did you say?" he asked, staring at the boy in disbelief.
"Princess Xian is not visible to ordinary people, let alone you, Uncle Qiao! How can you have the face to come to Princess Xian?"
The boy scolded Qiao Jianghong with contempt.
The door closed with a bang!
Qiao Jianghong was confused, his soul seemed to have been taken away, he was dumbfounded, and suddenly sneered maniacally.
Talking to himself: "She's married?... She's married... Haha... She won't give me a chance..."
Qiao Jianghong walked on the way back home in despair. Over the years, he had been waiting for An Qien, waiting to make it up to her when she turned back, waiting to live a beautiful life with him. Haha, he didn't expect that she would marry a wise king!
A wise king? Why should he compete with the wise king? He is an out-and-out loser now.
Qiao Jianghong felt that he had no hope of living, and he might as well die now.
When he returned to the house, he saw Shen Shuli joking with a bastard. He immediately became furious. It was this vicious woman who made him lose such a good wife and gave birth to a bastard, forcing him to become a father. .
So many years of humiliation broke out at this moment. He rushed forward and grabbed Shen Shuli's neck fiercely, using all his strength to pick her up.
"It's all you, otherwise Qi En wouldn't leave me. It's all you who made me lose Qi En. I can't stand this anger anymore, I will strangle you to death."
Shen Shuli's feet left the ground and she could no longer make a sound. Her face was red and she rolled her eyes. She might run out of breath at any time.
Qiao Jianghong was so vicious that he wanted to strangle her neck.
"Dad, dad, let go of mother..."
Qiao Jianghong kicked Qiao Yu away: "Who is your father? I don't know your father, you little bastard!"
Bang, Qiao Yu's head hit the corner of the table and died immediately.
Shen Shuli also died at this time. The crazy Qiao Jianghong couldn't bear the blow, pulled out a knife and stabbed himself in the chest, one after another, until he had no breath...
Soon the news spread throughout Beijing, and An Qi'en felt completely calm after hearing it...
Three years later.
Emperor Changshun died of illness, and the throne was passed to Lu Bochu. After Lu Bochu succeeded to the throne, An Qi'en was made queen.
From then on, life was peaceful and happy.
