Becoming The Real Rich Daughter After Divorce

Chapter 339: Chapter 339, the Hong family was going to have a concubine

The next morning, after the morning court session, Hong Qifeng went to the Changle Palace to look for Lu Chen.

The retired emperor’s office used to be in the administrative hall. Since Lu Chen ascended to the throne, he had been handling government affairs in the Taiji Palace. However, three out of ten days, he would be working in the Changle Palace.

Usually, the ministers would not come to the harem, but Hong Qifeng was a woman, so she did not have such a taboo.

Lady Qiao was by Lu Chen’s side, grinding the ink for him. Occasionally, they would look at the memorials. Lady Qiao liked to read the memorials from the Ministry of Justice, most of which were written by the people to determine whether a death sentence was necessary.

The Ministry of Justice had already decided on the crime, and only Lu Chen needed to approve it.

When Hong Qifeng came in, she saw Lady Qiao sitting next to Lu Chen looking at the memorials from the Ministry of Justice. She did not find it strange, but she felt that if her father saw this scene, he would probably spill blood in the Taiji Palace tomorrow.

“Your Subject Greets Your Majesty, Your Majesty.”

Lu Chen said, “No need for formalities. What do you want?”

Hong Qifeng cupped his hands and said, “Your Majesty, your subject is here to plead on behalf of the Ye family. Old Master Ye has been practicing medicine for his entire life and is an old imperial physician of the three dynasties. He has been practicing medicine all over the world and has been suffering from the plague of Chang ‘an for more than twenty years. Old Master Ye has also gone to treat it without hesitation.

“Your subject would like to ask your Majesty to spare the ye family on account of Old Master Ye’s practice of medicine and saving lives. Don’t let the father and son be unable to practice medicine and break the foundation of their ancestors.”

Qiao Jinniang added from the side, “Imperial physician Ye’s mouth is indeed an open mouth. However, Qifeng is right. They practice medicine for their entire lives. It’s not good to break their foundation. Let them continue practicing medicine. It’s also good to treat the common people. It Won’t be to the extent of breaking the family’s livelihood.”

Lu Chen said to Qiao jinniang, “Then we’ll do as you say.”

Hong Qifeng repeatedly thanked, “Thank you, Your Majesty, for your Grace.”

Hong Qifeng happily returned to the yamen. Seeing that Qiao Ruoyi was about to leave again, he asked, “Are you still going to the West Mountain Academy today?”

“No, I’m going to the Xie family. I’ll be back soon.”

Hong Qifeng said, “Okay.”

After Qiao Ruoyi left, Hong Qifeng remembered that there was a letter from a place at Qiao Ruoyi’s place. She went into her study to look for it and saw a portrait at the bottom.

Hong Qifeng picked up the portrait and took a look. The portrait should be of a little girl. She looked lively and extremely cute. She looked a little like Qiao ruoshui when she was young..

Hong Qifeng looked at the small characters at the bottom that were written with the word Yun. She placed the portrait on the table. Thinking about it, didn’t Qiao Ruoshui look like the Empress?

This small portrait of the Empress when she was young should not be placed here. It would be bad if other men saw it and took it away.

She also hid it in the sleeve of her official robe.

..

The Xie family in Chang ‘an.

Qiao ruoyi saw the snow-covered letter placed in front of her and did not dare to touch it.

After confirming that it was the real one.., qiao ruoyi could not help but sigh and said, “This book is mainly composed of a round brush that hides its edge. It is easy to put away the brush and change the strokes. It is like a jade mountain. Although it does not have a sharp edge, it has a spiritual connotation. It is hidden in the strength of the bones. It is a letter that my descendants can not reach in their entire lives. Are you sure you want to give it to me?”

Xie Yun closed the box and asked, “Where is the portrait?”

Qiao ruoyi touched the inside of the sleeves of the official’s robe. After touching it for a long time, she said, “Eh, I clearly put it in my sleeve. Did It fall into the yamen of the Ministry of Appointments?”

Xie Yun glared at Qiao ruoyi coldly and said, “Do you want your sister to die faster?”

There were many people coming and going in the yamen of the Ministry of appointments. If this portrait fell into the hands of another man, there would be endless trouble in the future.

Qiao Ruoyi was also anxious. “I’ll go back to the yamen of the Ministry of appointments to look for it properly.”

Xie Yun said coldly, “Qiao ruoyi, did you do it on purpose? You’re a concubine’s daughter. The way you eat, wear, and spend is the style of a legitimate daughter.

“After your sister returned to the manor, she also treated you very well. You wanted the only copy of the ancient books, but your sister gave it to you without saying a word. How many academies have said behind her back that the empress is biased.

What about you? Is this how you repay your sister? Yesterday, I let you destroy the portrait, but you didn’t destroy it. If this matter implicates the empress, you won’t have a good time either!”

Qiao Ruoyi’s eyes were slightly red. She was so wronged that her nose was sore. “It’s also better than you secretly drawing a portrait of your sister and pretending to be a man to deceive the world.

“You are clearly Xie Yun. You are clearly not dead. Are you trying to use my hand to deal with my sister?

“Don’t even think about it. His Majesty loves my sister very much. He will never let you have your way!”

Xie Yun did not understand and asked, “What nonsense are you talking about?”

Qiao ruoyi pointed at the Red Mole next to Xie Yun’s ear and said, “Miss Xie has this red mole next to her ear. Moreover, if the twins are like a dragon and a phoenix, there will be some similarities, but it is impossible for them to look the same.

“You are clearly not the head of the Xie family, but Xie Yun. Are you pretending to be dead because you are unwilling to let my sister steal your position as the Crown Prince’s Consort? Are you here in Chang ‘an for your sister’s position as the Empress?

You set me up with that portrait, right? Don’t even think about it. No matter what tricks you play, I will not let you succeed!”

Xie Yun said, “I am a man, not a woman disguised as a man. That portrait is really important. His Majesty is already unhappy. If this portrait falls into the eyes of someone who has bad intentions for the Jin Niang, fifth Miss Qiao, please quickly find the portrait and destroy it!”

When Qiao Ruoyi heard Xie Yun’s words, it did not seem to be a lie. It seemed to be true.

Could it be that she had really misunderstood?

Qiao Ruoyi did not dare to delay any further. She hurriedly returned to the yamen of the Ministry of appointments to look for the portrait. She could not ask openly, but after searching through her study in the yamen, she still could not find the portrait.

Qiao ruoyi went back to the carriage to look for it, but she still could not find it.

Xie Yun looked coldly at Qiao Ruoyi under the carriage.

Qiao ruoyi only said, “If anything happens to sister, I will bear the responsibility without damaging sister’s reputation!”

Xie Yun sneered, “With just you, a Little Concubine’s Daughter?”

Qiao ruoyi saw the cold disdain in Xie Yun’s eyes and jumped down from the carriage, “I did lose the portrait, but why did you put my sister’s portrait in the book that you want to offer to the imperial court? I, a Little Concubine’s daughter, also know to bear my responsibility, unlike you.”

Qiao ruoi headed straight for the palace. This was her mistake, and no matter how her sister wanted to punish her, she would admit it.

But this matter should be let her sister know.

..

The Hong family had hosted the Ye family today.

Aunt Ye heard that Hong Qifeng had gone to the emperor’s side to plead for mercy. Although she did not let the Ye family official resume his position, he could still practice medicine again. With the Ye family’s reputation as a miracle doctor, it would not be difficult for him to settle down in the future.

Aunt Ye smiled and said to Hong Qifeng, “It seems that the rumors that His Majesty thinks highly of you are true. Qifeng, Qifeng, perhaps the Hong family will really produce a Phoenix!”

Madam Hong smiled slightly.

Hong Qifeng immediately put on a straight face and said, “Aunt, you should be more respectful. The Ye family has just obtained his Majesty’s understanding. Do you want the Hong family to be implicated as well? You Can’t say that!”

Aunt ye said, “What’s there to say? Outside the palace, everyone is secretly talking about what happened at the longevity banquet. After all, His Majesty treats you differently from other women. His Majesty has never praised women for their good looks in public.

“You and Qiao Ruoyi are in the same dynasty. Why Did His Majesty praise your official uniform for being good-looking and not Qiao Ruoyi? “It can be seen that the Hong family will also have a Empress!”
