Chapter 182 Hidden Dangers
"Very well said! I understand!"
Next, Huaisheng stayed in the Empress's Warm Pavilion for another half a month.
At the end of March, the Empress and the Emperor surprisingly rekindled their affection for each other.
After her recovery, the imperial physician took over her care, rewarded Huai Sheng with a thousand taels of gold, and had Aunt Songling escort her out of the palace.
As soon as they stepped out of the palace gate, Qianyan rushed over and hugged Huaisheng tightly!
Xuanjin and Xuanmu accepted the reward, and the group boarded the carriage and returned home.
Instead of entering the gate, they went straight out of the city.
"Huaisheng, I can only feel at ease after we leave here."
Huai Sheng hugged him back and buried his face in the crook of his neck, nuzzling against him.
"I know, I'll listen to you~"
The next day, the regent returned from the palace with a joyful expression, having received praise from the emperor and empress dowager for his medical service.
He even boasted that he would send Huaisheng to the palace in a few days to help the Empress Dowager get some treatment.
Upon returning, I learned that Qianyan had already taken the person away, and their whereabouts were unknown.
Enraged, he smashed a teapot set. Just then, a guard came to report that a letter had arrived from Shuwu's side.
The regent looked at the pipa player who hadn't been sent away and was kneeling on the ground, trembling.
Suddenly, something flashed through my mind, and many things connected in an instant.
The Regent thought to himself:
It may seem unbelievable, but it's absolutely possible!
With his superb medical skills, he could easily conceal his identity and be recruited into the army.
What a coincidence that you can play the pipa.
Several years ago, when Shuwu and his group came to arrange a marriage, this person suddenly disappeared without any reason!
Hmph, I was just sharing an amusing anecdote with my foreign friends.
You avoid me like the plague, so I'll be that venomous scorpion for once!
You little slut! You despicable thing, if it weren't for you, how could my own nephew have turned against me!
Thinking of this, the Regent smiled darkly and picked up his pen to reply to Shuwu.
Half a month later, Shuwu received a reply and laughed heartily:
"Could it be? I knew the woman I couldn't forget back then couldn't be just a simple pipa player."
No wonder so many pipa players they later sought out never seemed quite right.
It turns out, she's most likely a goddess-like doctor who can play the pipa!
So, the one I've set my sights on is a pipa player? Oh, I see!
"Mu Huaisheng! Just you wait! If it really is you, I will tear you to pieces!"
After leaving the capital, Qianyan and Huaisheng traveled by water straight to Pengcheng.
The two men entered Luzhou City and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
They took a day off in Luzhou, and the two felt like newlyweds after a short separation, which dispelled the gloom.
In late May, the two finally arrived in Yedu.
There was also a big surprise in Yedu: Doctor Gao was already enjoying his grandchildren in Yedu.
When Huaisheng saw the white-haired, aged doctor, he happily became a child again.
She and her two children were constantly vying for the favor of Dr. Gao.
I have some worries:
Why argue with your own child?
My husband is right here, alive and well, but I just can't see him. Sigh~
When Qianyan arranged for the child to leave first, she sent a message to Doctor Gao via carrier pigeon.
Within two days, a female captain from the Heavenly Department arrived in Laiyang with a group of people and set off with Doctor Gao.
After reuniting with his two children in Anping County, Doctor Gao took care of them and returned to Yedu.
In Yedu, everyone has undergone some changes.
Mu Su took the exam for several years and finally passed, becoming a Gongshi (a successful candidate in the highest imperial examinations).
Because of his outstanding appearance, he caught the emperor's eye and was to be transferred to Gufeng County in Qingxi Prefecture as a county magistrate.
Mu Xi, having passed the imperial examinations for a long time, still only managed to become a Xiucai (a scholar who passed the lowest level of the imperial examinations). She then decided to follow the others and become a secretary.
Mu Xu possesses extraordinary martial arts skills. Now that the world is at peace, he wishes to join forces with others to serve at Tongtian Pass or Yu Ri Pass.
Yuan Su, on the other hand, was a man of deep knowledge who had accumulated it over time, and he often offered simple and insightful guidance in his letters.
I came out on top in the provincial examination last year and have been studying hard ever since.
Rong An barely passed the imperial examination and became a Xiucai (a scholar who passed the lowest level of the imperial examinations), and he is still working hard.
In the spring, Shanhao gave birth to her first son. Huaisheng wrote to Wanxing, and both of them gave her a reward.
Because Qingyue was pregnant again, Huaisheng asked Wanxing to take on more tasks at the shop.
Uncle Dong went back to retire and, like the others, came back every month to collect his monthly allowance.
Brother Han, Shanlai, and Yaole are already the assistant managers of the shop, helping Qingyue handle many things.
Yao Le's remarkable talent at such a young age surprised Huai Sheng.
What's even more surprising is Qingxue; she studies very hard, and her skills in clothing making are even more unexpected.
Her ready-to-wear clothing has its own unique style, with illustrations by Huai Sheng and Wan Xing.
Qing Xueji only needs one drawing each time, and she will create a whole series of drawings.
That skill was so exceptional that even Wanxing praised it as unparalleled in heaven and earth.
The girl's haute couture pieces all start at a thousand taels of silver, and they are always the first to sell out.
Except for the first floral pattern used in her collection, everything else in her series, from design and materials to sales, was done by herself.
The amount deducted was basically two or three hundred taels every month.
At the end of last year, he even sold a gorgeous dress for 10,000 taels of silver.
The noblewomen of Yedu all envied the lady who had been bought.
Unfortunately, it would take Qingxue a year to make such elaborate and luxurious clothes, as other craftsmen couldn't keep up and couldn't help her.
Huaizhi and Huailian would study with those few students every morning.
In the afternoon, Qingyue and Liang Yun took them and their daughter to the shop.
Since the martial arts instructors had nothing else to do, they taught a few children how to improve their health.
With Dr. Gao around, Huai Sheng was in a good mood.
Seeing their cheerful head of household every day gave everyone more energy to do their work.
Everyone found it unbelievable that Mu Xu, that silly boy, was actually dating Qing Chen.
How could a clever and intelligent girl like Qingchen fall for a silly boy like Muxu?
Everyone can see that Mu Xi also likes Qing Chen, and anyone with eyes would choose Mu Xi!
Although both boys are exceptionally handsome, Mu Xi is a scholar.
However, everyone has their own preferences, and Qiao Qingchen liked the silly Mu Xu.
Everyone was moved:
Fools sometimes have good luck!
What else is there to say?
The two waited for Huaisheng to return so he could preside over their wedding ceremony.
After Huaisheng and his wife returned, they gave gifts to the two who had passed the exam.
After the family reunion, they chose an auspicious day, closed several shops early, and enjoyed a lively time together in the garden.
One day, the two ladies of the Qi family sent invitations to Mu Su's door, wanting to arrange a marriage for her.
Huai Sheng warmly welcomed the two beauties inside.
"Huaisheng, why do you look like nothing has changed?"
What perfume are you using?
"You two ladies are exaggerating. Your elegance is as captivating as ever!"
"Alas, time waits for no one."
Oh, I almost forgot the important thing!
We have come to your door today for the sake of my sister's youngest cousin, the youngest daughter of Lord Liu, the official in charge of official duties.
She's seventeen this year, and her appearance is almost as good as ours was back then.
Your Musu...
Oh~ You're not married yet!
But as the two ladies know, I haven't been home for a long time, so I have to ask him first if he has a woman he likes.
If not, we'll find another opportunity to meet.
But Mu Su is about to take up his post in Gufeng County. Won't waiting for his return delay Miss Liu?
"It's alright. If we get engaged first, the betrothal ceremony will take about a year."
There will be plenty of solutions then.
"Alright then~ Ladies, please wait for my message~"
They chatted about everyday things for a while, then saw the two ladies off.
Huaisheng then went to find Qianyan and the child, and asked Aunt Wu to take the child to play elsewhere.
He excitedly told Qianyan about it.
