Female-to-male: I live on farming

Chapter 272 The Princess

No one knew that after this incident, the Lu family's housekeeper, Miss Lihua, secretly sent people to deliver gifts to several mansions.

If those mansions observed carefully, they would know that the young masters of those mansions were all involved in the farce in Changlefang.

With Lu Youqing's current status, she no longer needs to do such trivial matters personally. She only needs to reveal her thoughts tactfully, and naturally someone will share her worries.

She did this secretly, and only Lihua, who acted on her behalf, knew the details.

……

In mid-July of the fourth year of Tianyuan, when the Queen was giving birth, there were thunder and lightning, the sky was dark, and after two hours, she finally gave birth to a girl.

It is said that when the clear cry of a baby broke the silence, strange phenomena occurred one after another. First, the rainstorm stopped suddenly, and colorful auspicious clouds lingered in the palace. Then, birds flew towards the phoenix, and flowers bloomed, creating a peaceful atmosphere.

His Majesty was delighted when he saw this, and immediately issued an order: "My daughter is indeed the one chosen by Heaven, and she has lived up to the expectations of the people. She is the one chosen by Heaven. She can serve as the Empress Dowager, and can inherit the throne, forever and ever, and bring stability to all nations. It is appropriate to make Zhi the Crown Princess, and the relevant departments should prepare the ceremony and enthrone the title."

He was chosen as the heir from birth, which is the only case in the history of Dayan.

The Crown Princess Zhao Jinxi, who has been placed with high hopes since birth, is now just a baby who only knows how to eat and sleep. Every day when she wakes up, her gentle and virtuous mother will hold her in her arms and coax her. At night, she can see her mother teasing her with warmth in her eyes.

When the Crown Princess was one year old, Qin Xinghe, who had long been thinking about her younger sister, was finally brought into the palace by her mother.

Qin Xinghe did as she said at the beginning, bringing all the rare things she liked into the palace as gifts for her sister.

Since having a child, Gu Lanxi's every move has a more maternal radiance, and her temperament has become more gentle, making people feel like they are in the spring breeze.

Qin Xinghe greeted her in a very proper manner. Although she was still young, she acted prudently and gracefully, as she had been well taught by Lu Youqing.

Gu Lanxi then liked her even more.

"Go and bring the princess here." Gu Lanxi had just chatted with Lu Youqing for a while, and seeing that Qin Xinghe was eager to see her sister, she smiled and instructed the palace maid.

Jinxi was still a tiny little ball, wearing a bright yellow jacket and trousers, embroidered shoes, and a small red feather satin cloak. His little face was as crystal clear as jade, and his eyes were bright. Only after Gu Lanxi took him in her arms did she realize there was a stranger in the room.

She was not afraid of birth. She was held by her mother and smiled at Qin Xinghe, looking very cute.

Qin Xinghe's eyes were also fixed on the delicate and cute little face that was carved out of jade. Gu Lanxi felt amused and waved at her, indicating that she could come closer to take a look.

Qin Xinghe carefully stretched out her fingers to touch her smooth little face, but her outstretched fingers were held by her waving little hand.

The soft touch made Qin Xinghe freeze all of a sudden, not daring to move.

Jinxi uttered a few "ah ah" sounds, which were soft and tender, vague and could not be heard clearly. Qin Xinghe had no idea what she was saying and could only look at Gu Lanxi for help.

Gu Lanxi and Lu Youqing found this scene very cute. They smiled at each other and didn't care about Qin Xinghe's confusion at all.

Qin Xinghe had no choice but to try to pull her fingers back, but her sister noticed her movement and clenched them even tighter.

"I remembered Xinghe was so small, but in the blink of an eye she has grown up so big." Gu Lanxi couldn't help but sigh softly as she watched their interaction.

"Children are like this. They grow up before you know it. Your Highness will be like this too."

"Let Xinghe come to the palace to play more often in the future. I think they get along very well."

When Gu Lanxi said this, she couldn't help but sigh that it was a pity. If Jinxi had been born two years earlier, he could have grown up with Yueya.

Lu Youqing knew that she wanted Xinghe to develop a relationship with the princess, so there was nothing wrong with that.

There are many people who want to have good relationships with the Queen and Her Royal Highness, but there are only a few that Gu Lanxi can trust.

She knew the personalities of Lu Youqing and Qin Ke, and believed in the character of the child they would raise. In addition, Qin Xinghe would also be a helper to Jinxi in the future.

In the same year, Lu Tang also participated in the second imperial examination after His Majesty ascended the throne. In order to avoid suspicion, Lu Youqing did not preside over the examination.

It is worth mentioning that the number of women taking the imperial examination this time has increased several times compared to the past, and the number of women who have won a place is also the same. In total, those who have won a place accounted for one-third of the total.

The women's college invested and built by Gu Lanxi has made an indelible contribution. The women who passed the imperial examinations all remember the kindness of the Queen.

I think that before long, there will be more and more educated women in the world, and women in officialdom will gradually occupy half of the country. These people will be the arms of the Crown Princess in the future.

Lu Tang’s hard work over the past few years had not been in vain. Although he did not make it into the top three, he still passed the imperial examination and became a Jinshi.

She has a cousin like Lu Youqing. Even though Lu Youqing did nothing and said nothing, she still assigned a relatively prosperous county to Lu Tang when she was appointed as an official.

Lu Youqing once asked Lu Tang for her opinion. If she wanted to stay in Beijing, she could make some efforts. But after Lu Tang pondered for a long time, he had a deep talk with Lu Youqing.

She said that if she stayed in Beijing, she could only do some useless paperwork under her protection. She also wanted to go out and see the world, and do some practical things for the people.

After hearing Lu Tang's answer, Lu Youqing looked at Lu Tang steadily and smiled with relief.

Compared to the timid and shy girl a few years ago who didn't dare to speak loudly, she has now grown into a woman who can take on big responsibilities and is graceful and elegant.

However, Lu Tang stood there and bowed respectfully to Lu Youqing.

"What are you doing?" Lu Youqing helped her up.

"Thank you for your guidance and support over the years, cousin. You deserve this greeting." Lu Tang was sincerely grateful to Lu Youqing. It is said that an eldest sister is like a mother. Her mother took care of her life, and her cousin was her guide in her life and career.

She is where she is today thanks to her cousin's careful cultivation.

"Okay, if you encounter any problems when you get there, feel free to write back. Your cousin will take care of everything for you." Lu Youqing patted her shoulder with a smile and reminded her, "Your aunt will definitely miss you, so you should spend more time with her these days."

If Lu Sijing hadn't been reluctant to leave Xinghe, she would have wanted to accompany Lu Tang to the new post. In the end, Lu Tang persuaded her to stop, at least until she had established herself there.

Some people are leaving, and some are coming back.

Cui Yuanyuan, who took over as the Governor of Liangzhou after Lu Youqing came to Beijing, has now returned to Beijing to report on his work after his term has expired.

After she took over as the governor of Liangzhou, she strictly implemented the policies and guidelines originally formulated by Your Majesty and Lu Youqing, governed Liangzhou in an orderly manner, and doubled the tax revenue.

Therefore, I will stay in Beijing this time.

(I found that I didn’t know how to write the ending.)
