Chapter 388: Chapter 388, pregnant again

After Lu Chen fell into the lake, the water surrounded him from all directions, and his memory kept going back.

He remembered why he fell into the lake at that time. It was the disaster victims of Huizhou who caused trouble. A few men in black took advantage of the chaos and pushed him into the surging waters when the guards did not dare to attack the civilians.

He was the Crown Prince of Great Tang, the dignified crown prince! He had actually become the son-in-law of a small city’s merchant daughter in the past few years.

When Lu Chen opened his eyes, he was already in the Qiao family’s small courtyard. When he opened his eyes, he saw Qiao Jinniang, who was full of Tears, and brother Tuan, who was softly and softly calling out to his father.

Lu Chen got up and let glutinous rice take brother Tuan away. He said to Qiao jinniang, “I remember what happened before. My parents are still alive.”

Qiao Jinniang was slightly surprised and said bitterly, “This is a good thing. You’ve woken up and remembered the past. This is a good thing.”

Lu Chen looked at Qiao Jinniang’s face under the candlelight. He pulled her into his arms and hugged her reluctantly.

Qiao jinniang asked, “Where are my parents? Do you want to send a message to them to come to Lin ‘an?”

Qiao Jinniang could not get a reply from Lu Chen for a long time. She looked up at Lu Chen and felt that he seemed to have changed.

Lu Chen kissed Qiao Jinniang’s forehead. It was difficult for him to tell Qiao Jinniang his identity right now. He had been living a bland and happy life in Lin ‘an city for the past three years. He did not even know what the situation would be like after he returned to Chang ‘an?

He was in Lin ‘an guarding the business of a small plot of land in Lin ‘an and did not care about the situation in Chang ‘an.

He also did not know how his father was now? Although he had never heard of his brothers becoming crown princes, if they suddenly returned to Chang ‘an at this time, the Chengen Bo Mansion and the Empress Dowager’s party would definitely be eyeing them covetously.

There were too many things that could change in three years. He also did not know whether the power in the Eastern Palace three years ago belonged to him.

It was too dangerous to rashly bring Qiao Jinniang back to Chang ‘an.

Lu Chen held Qiao Jinniang in his arms and wanted to rub her into his blood. In the future, he would be the high and Mighty Crown Prince of Great Tang, and with Qiao Jinniang’s status, she was not even qualified to enter the Eastern Palace.

If he had known earlier, he would not have wanted to recall the past at all. It would have been better to be happy and plain in Lin ‘an, but he had already remembered that he had to return to the palace for the sake of his mother.

It was only after midnight.

Lu Chen held Qiao Jinniang, who had been exhausted by him, and slowly said, “Jin ‘er, I was originally from a noble family in Chang ‘an.”

Qiao Jinniang leaned against Lu Chen’s chest and played with her hair. “I’ve long guessed that you have an extraordinary background. Shall we go back to Chang ‘an to meet my parents-in-law?”

Lu Chen said, “Jin ‘er, I have many half-brothers in my family. I was killed by my brother and grandmother when I went missing back then. I don’t know how powerful they are, so I don’t dare to rashly wait for you to go. I’ll come back to Chang ‘an to find you after Chang ‘an is stable.”

Qiao jinniang asked, “Is it because you think my status is not good enough for your family?”

Lu Chen didn’t want to let Qiao Jinniang down, so he said, “Jin ‘er, I can’t decide my own marriage. But don’t worry, I’ll definitely give you a title to enter my Lu Family!”

No matter what, he had to find a good wife for Qiao Jinniang so that she could take care of Brother Tuan.

Qiao Jinniang asked, “Are you going to Chang ‘an? What about the Hundred Savory Restaurant?”

Lu Chen said, “When the time comes, just hire someone to manage the Hundred Savory restaurant. My family is very powerful. When the time comes, I don’t think the Qiao family will dare to come and cause trouble.”

Qiao Jinniang could not bear to hug Lu Chen and said, “Alright, I’ll wait for you to come back and pick me up.”

Lu Chen thought for a moment and said, “I want to take brother Tuan away.”

“Why?”Qiao jinniang said, “Didn’t you say that it’s dangerous? Wouldn’t it be more dangerous for Brother Tuan to follow you?”

“I have to give brother Tuan a rightful position. If he comes to my Lu family in the future, it will be much worse. Don’t worry, I’ll come and pick you up soon!”

Lu Chen promised Qiao Jinniang confidently.

Qiao Jinniang also trusted Lu Chen and gave him a lot of her savings over the years, “It’s said that the poor are rich. Take this money. If the situation in Chang ‘an is bad, you might as well bring brother Tuan back. We won’t be poor in Lin ‘an anymore.”

Lu Chen took the banknote and said, “Wait for me. I will come back to pick you up and let you go back to Chang ‘an envied by everyone.”

..

Five years of Jing Yuan.

After Qiao Jinniang suddenly woke up, she realized that she had a nightmare and recalled the years she spent with Lu Chen in Lin ‘an.

Looking at Lu Chen who was lying next to her, she raised her hand and gave him a “Slap”.

After Lu Chen woke up, he covered his face and looked at Qiao Jinniang with a frown.

“Liar,”Qiao Jinniang said, “That year, you told me that you would come back to pick me up, but?”

Lu Chen said, “Why are you being so calculative about what happened in the past? Alright, Can’t I Be Wrong? I’m leaving Lin ‘an tomorrow. Why Don’t I bring you to Lin ‘an city again today?”

Qiao Jinniang agreed, “It’s been so many years in the blink of an eye. Why didn’t you tell me the truth back then and say that you’re the Crown Prince?”

Lu Chen asked Qiao jinniang, “What would you have done if I had told you the truth back then?”

Qiao Jinniang didn’t dare to think about what choices she would have had back then, but she cherished the present. Lu Chen doted on her like a treasure, and she was the most honorable woman in the world.

On the day she left Chang ‘an, Qiao Jinniang suddenly fainted when she boarded the ship, scaring Lu Chen so much that his face turned pale.

The imperial physician came over to check her pulse and said, “Your Majesty, the Empress is pregnant. Perhaps she walked too much yesterday, so she has the symptoms of fainting.”

Lu Chen did not dare to take Qiao Jinniang on the road, so he brought her back to the temporary palace in Lin ‘an.

After taking a dose of medicine, Qiao Jinniang slowly woke up. When she found out that she was two months pregnant, she was overjoyed. “I’m pregnant again? This baby must be a princess.”

Lu Chen said, “It doesn’t matter if this baby is a princess or a prince. If we give birth to another one, we won’t give birth to another one.”

Qiao Jinniang’s body was not bad, but giving birth to a baby was still hurtful.

Qiao Jinniang agreed. “Okay, you and your officials will go on a tour of Jiangnan first. It was agreed long ago that it was not suitable to change. Officials and people everywhere want to see the beauty of heaven. I will give birth here. When my fetus is more stable, I will return to Chang ‘an.”

Lu Chen said, “I will ask Princess Wu and glutinous rice to take care of you. Don’t forget to write to me.”

Lady Qiao replied with an ‘mm’, “Don’t worry. There are doctors and female doctors here. It’s also my hometown. I’ll be fine.”

Lu Chen led his officials to other cities in Jiangnan.

When Qiao Ruoyun came to the palace to accompany Lady Qiao, she asked, “Lady Qiao, How Can You Trust His Majesty to go to other cities alone? Especially Yangzhou. It’s a city filled with beautiful women. Our colors will grow old, and we won’t be as beautiful as those young ladies…”

Lady Qiao laughed, “Big sister, we’re only twenty-five, how can our colors grow old? I heard from Qiu Yue that most of the twenty-five women in her hometown have yet to get married.”

Glutinous Rice said to qiao ruoyun, “Little aunt, are you here to take care of the Empress? Or are you here to make the Empress Worry?”
