Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Today, Qiao Jinniang was in a cyan dress, and she was wearing her hair in a snake bun with a butterfly hairpin on her head.

Lu Chen thought, ‘Fortunately it isn’t the golden phoenix hairpin that Li Yun gave her. Otherwise, I would have died of anger!’

Lu Chen said, “How do you know that he would rather give up his future than compromise?

“Does he know the past between you and I? Do you think he still dares to marry you if he knows? What makes you think he would rather give up his bright future?”

Qiao Jinniang actually wasn’t quite sure. But even if Li Yun chose his career, she would not blame him.

“Mom!”

Tuan’er’s happy voice came from outside the door, and Qiao Jinniang put aside the wild thoughts in her heart.

She bent and hugged the cute little boy in her arms. “Tuan’er is a lot heavier. I can hardly hold you anymore!”

Tuan’er blushed. “Tuan’er can walk by myself.”

Qiao Jinniang was certainly reluctant to let go of Tuan’er. She hugged Tuan’er tightly and said, “Mom is joking with you. No matter how heavy Tuan’er is, I can still hold you.”

Tuan’er gently rubbed his forehead against Qiao Jinniang’s neck. “Mother, I miss you so much.”

Qiao Jinniang felt her throat sour. “I miss you too.”

Lu Chen snorted coldly and taunted, “You don’t even have enough time to think of your ‘honey’. How can you have the time to think of Tuan’er… Tsk!”

Tuan’er turned to looked at Qiao Jinniang and asked, “Mom, who is your ‘honey’?”

Qiao Jinniang glared at Lu Chen and said word by word. “Your-step-father!”

Tuan’er pouted in confusion. “What is a stepfather? Don’t I only have one father?”

“No, Tuan’er is going to have a lot of mothers and fathers.”

Qiao Jinniang purposely said to piss off Lu Chen.

Tuan’er hugged Qiao Jinniang’s neck and said, “No, I just want Mommy and Daddy, no other fathers and mothers…”

Lu Chen lowered his voice and warned Qiao Jinniang, “Don’t talk nonsense in front of Tuan’er.”

Qiao Jinniang said, “I’m not talking nonsense. Tuan’er will know about these matters sooner or later. If you don’t want him to bear this, let me bring him back to Lin’an.”

Tuan’er blinked his tearful phoenix eyes, “I just want Mommy and Daddy.”

Lu Chen was distressed to see his son cry, so he said, “Okay, only Mommy and Daddy.”

Qiao Jinniang: “Have you heard the story of Zeng Zi Killing A Pig? It tells us not to lie to kids!”

Lu Chen: “That’s called Zeng Shen Cooks A Pig.”

Qiao Jinniang looked at Lu Chen coldly. “Whether it’s Zeng Zi Killing A Pig or Zeng Shen Cooks A Pig, it tells the same truth. Since you know it, why did you lie to Tuan’er?”

Lu Chen looked into Qiao Jinniang’s eyes and said firmly, “I didn’t lie to him!”

Qiao Jinniang didn’t believe Lu Chen’s words, so she changed the subject and said, “My maids all miss Tuan’er very much. May I take Tuan’er to the Tasty Pavilion today and send him back later in the evening?”

Lu Chen nodded, and after Qiao Jinniang left with Tuan’er, Lu Chen went to the Hall of Diligent Governance.

It was a holiday today.

However, Emperor Huilin still went to the Hall of Diligent Governance early to handle official business.

Datang was so prosperous mostly due to the hard work of Emperor Huilin.

Lu Chen saluted and said, “Father.”

Emperor Huilin glanced at Lu Chen’s hand and said crossly, “Your birth date and Qiao Jinniang’s must be conflicting, right? Why are you injured every time you see her?”

Lu Chen withdrew his hand and said to Emperor Huilin, “We had asked someone to check it in Lin’an. Our birth dates are compatible.”

Emperor Huilin: “You lost your memory back then. How did you remember your birth date?”

Lu Chen said, “I still remembered my name and birth date.”

Seeing that Lu Chen’s right hand was injured, Emperor Huilin said, “Since your hand is injured, take a good rest for two days.”

Lu Chen should say. “Father, I’d like to discuss something with you.”

Emperor Huilin raised his eyes to look at Lu Chen. “What’s the matter?”

“I’ve thought it over, and I’d like to make Jinniang my crown princess. You know, she is strong-minded, stubborn and really hates being a concubine.

“She would rather marry someone else than be my first or second concubine. ”

Emperor Huilin frowned and said, “Chen’er, do you think Qiao Jinniang can be a good crown princess?

“The crown princess is not only a crown princess, but also the future mother of the country and the leader of your harem!

“Is her talent and ability worthy of the honor of the mother of the country?”

Emperor Huilin took a sip of water and said, “It doesn’t matter what her background is, not to mention that she is now Duke Anyuan’s daughter.

“But your wife must be a gentle and dignified woman who deserves to be the mother of the country!

“Not a businesswoman who holds an abacus and stays in the kitchen all day. ”

Lu Chen said, “Jinniang is still young. If she is married into the East Palace, Mother can teach her.”

Emperor Huilin said with a sneer, “Isn’t it enough that your mother has been working hard for your sake for so many years? And now she has to teach your wife for you?

“Besides, Qiao Jinniang was brought up by servants. If you take concubines with greater family backgrounds than her in the future, how can she help you manage your harem?

“Since she despises concubines so much, how can she get along with your future concubines?

“If your wife can’t tolerate your concubines, how long can she be your crown princess?

“If you hand over the internal affairs of the East Palace to her, will she have the ability to handle it?

“Not to mention that she will have to manage the internal affairs of the entire Imperial Palace when you become the emperor.”

Lu Chen said in a low voice, “I don’t have to take concubines.”

Emperor Huilin glanced at Lu Chen. “How come you are getting more and more naive? If you don’t take any concubines, do you think you can still be the Crown Prince?”

Lu Chen smiled. “Even if the sky falls, Father will support it for me. Father, don’t you only have Mother all these years? I always take you as my example…”

Emperor Huilin choked. “That’s because I already had six sons before you were born, but you only have Tuan’er.”

Even though he already had seven sons, there were still a group of ministers trying to persuade him to take imperial concubines.

They tried persuading him once every few years, and it wasn’t until in recent years that they finally stopped.

As the Crown Prince, Lu Chen didn’t even have a concubine maid now. How was it possible for him to have only one woman?

Lu Chen: “Oh? It turns out that if I hadn’t had six elder brothers, you would have planned to take concubines. I got it. Father, I’m going to talk to Mom…”

Emperor Huilin hurriedly said, “Come back! No more the naive talks of taking no concubines. As for Qiao Jinniang’s position, I will think about it carefully.”

Lu Chen dared not to push his father too hard, so he said fawningly, “Father, although my right hand is injured, I can write with my left hand.

“If you need me to do anything for you, just tell me. ”

Looking at the memorials that piled up into a hill on the table, Emperor Huilin said, “Okay, then process these memorials for me. Your mother and I haven’t been out of the imperial palace to have fun for a long time.”

Lu Chen: “…”

Chang’an looked so beautiful after the spring rain.

Qiao Jinniang took Tuan’er to the Tasty Pavilion, and the servants and maids were very happy to see Tuan’er again.

Tuan’er had a good memory, so he still remembered the uncles and aunts who played with him in the past.

Many customers had come, so Qiao Jinniang played with Tuan’er in the No. 1 private room.

The dough figurine she bought for Tuan’er last time was destroyed by Lu Chen, and she couldn’t find the dough figurine stall anymore.

So this time, she was going to accompany Tuan’er to make dough figurines.

Downstairs, a woman wearing a white veil looked up at the sign “Tasty Pavilion” and said to the well-dressed middle-aged man beside her. “I haven’t visited the Tasty Pavilion for a long time.”

Ever since Lu Chen disappeared, the Queen had not been in the mood of going out of the imperial palace to play. It had been almost four years since she tasted the dishes here.

Recently, she missed the delicacies outside the imperial palace a bit.
