The emperor and Concubine Ronggui looked at each other and looked at Qi Yunxiao.
Qi Yunxiao and Shen Qingyu looked at each other, and Qi Yunxiao still spoke: "Then let's meet."
Unable to let His Majesty the Emperor get out of the way, Qi Yunxiao and his wife came out to the yard and sat at the stone tables and chairs under the big tree.
When Qi Yunheng came in and saw Qi Yunxiao again, he was shocked.
A few years have passed, Qi Yunxiao's facial features have become brighter, and his aura has become more majestic, but also has a gentleness, like... a creeping tiger.
Meeting Qi Yunxiao's gaze, Qi Yunheng came back to his senses and stepped forward to salute: "I would like to pay my respects to the princess..."
Shen Qingyu waved her hand to show that she didn't care and let the two brothers chat.
Qi Yunheng actually came here to express his gratitude!
It turned out that when he was managing the jewelry shop at home, he overheard the other party saying that it was because of Qi Yunxiao's relationship that he secretly gave them business...
Only then did Qi Yunheng know that this shop that had greatly improved their family's life was actually because Qi Yunxiao was helping behind the scenes!
Now he is not the young man he used to be, who thought that as long as he followed those princes, princes, and grandsons to eat, drink, and have fun, he would be recognized and respected by others.
King Cheng fell, and he was almost imprisoned and exiled.
The people who used to eat, drink and have fun together no longer pay attention to him.
After experiencing the warmth and coldness of human relationships, he truly began to calm down and be sensible.
After studying and doing business... I realized that it is not easy to make money and it is not easy to support a family.
Because of this, he truly valued and admired Qi Yunxiao's ability.
How hard and powerful did that young man who started out to do business in his teens be able to establish Guiyun Tower that was opened all over the country in just a few years?!
Because there was more respect and gratitude in his heart, Qi Yunheng's tone and demeanor became humbler when he spoke. He lost his arrogance when he spoke, and instead spoke with admiration.
Qi Yunxiao and Shen Qingyu both felt puzzled.
Qi Yunheng brought the box forward, saying that he had prepared a longevity lock for each of the five children, and gave Shen Qingyu a set of pearl headbands.
After Shen Qingyu saw it, he was surprised: Those five longevity locks were all made of red gold inlaid with precious stones. They were all heavy.
The set of pearls on the head and face are also made of finger-sized pearls, which are very valuable.
I think I tried my best.
Shen Qingyu closed the box and asked calmly: "What do you want me to do when you send me a box like this?"
Qi Yunheng hurriedly waved his hand: "No, no..."
Afraid that Shen Qingyu and Qi Yunxiao wouldn't believe it, he explained sincerely: "It's only in the past two years that I finally understood these things and realized that many things are not that simple."
"I know I don't have much ability. I just want to go step by step and live a comfortable life anyway. I don't want to let my eldest brother and the princess use the back door for me..."
Qi Yunheng said goodbye and left, and then Qi Yunxiao and Shen Qingyu went into the room to tell His Majesty the Emperor.
The emperor was surprised: "The Qingping Marquis can still be saved? Qi Yunheng is really sensible?!"
Qi Yunxiao nodded: "Yes."
This is already a rare evaluation.
The emperor smiled.
Within two days, an imperial edict suddenly came down: Qi Yunheng was granted the title of Crown Prince of Qingping Houfu.
The major families in the capital were shocked!
The Qingping Marquis was also shocked!
Mrs. Qingpinghou was crying and laughing at home: "What is this? The grace that I could never ask for before, how come I suddenly got it?"
Qi Yunheng knew in his heart: It must be the elder brother who said good things.
That day he went to visit Xinghua Hutong. Although the guards at the door were not wearing the clothes of the imperial guards, their aura was not that of ordinary people.
Then I thought that Qi Yunxiao saw him not in the flower hall, not in the main hall, but under the big tree in the yard...
Who is in the main hall and flower hall?
Qi Yunheng didn't dare to think deeply, but he admired his eldest brother even more in his heart!
Mrs. Qingpinghou was still nagging about how it was unfair in the past. The implication was that His Majesty the Emperor favored Qi Yunxiao.
Qi Yunheng suddenly interrupted: "Mom, it was the eldest brother who helped."
"What?" Mrs. Qingpinghou couldn't believe her ears.
"Yes, eldest brother helped. I went to Xinghua Hutong to meet my brother and the princess the day before yesterday."
"..." Mrs. Qingpinghou was stunned.
Qi Yunxiao and Shen Qingyu said goodbye to His Majesty the Emperor and the noble concubine, and told them to take care of themselves.
His Majesty the Emperor laughed heartily: "That's natural! The two of you are still young. I have to persist for another twenty years before I can go fishing with you on the island and enjoy the happiness."
Thinking about the age of His Majesty the Emperor, Shen Qingyu expressed sympathy: working into his sixties is still such a high-intensity job.
The emperor is really not something ordinary people can do...
Several old men in blue shirts also said goodbye to His Majesty, and each one cried and thanked His Majesty for giving them the opportunity to see the light of day again.
These are all officials who were dismissed from office and imprisoned for various reasons.
His Majesty gave them a chance: if they are willing to follow Qi Yunxiao and his wife to the island to teach children for five years, they will be free when they come back.
They didn't know the value of freedom before, but after being arrested, they realized that a little bit of sunshine is so luxurious!
So they were all willing to go.
But when they think about how difficult life must be in the wild lands overseas, they feel that their eyes are filled with gloom: it's just the lesser of two evils.
When they got on the boat, these people even doubted their life, and even felt regretful, doubting that they would not be able to make it back alive!
Some people even started crying...
Three days later, when they adapted to the island environment, eating delicious grilled oysters, small seafood in fish sauce, steamed large yellow croaker... and drinking coconut juice, they collectively sighed: It smells so good!
When those little children with simple clothes, bare feet and tanned eyes looked at them, they felt: their shoulders were heavy!
When simple fishermen wanted to improve their family genes (by eating meat and wearing clothes) out of admiration for scholars, and sent their fisherman girls to be their concubines, they thought: They are happy here and don’t miss Shu... Regarding this change, as long as both of them are willing, the couple has no control over it.
Their most important goal is to enable the children here to read, become literate, develop an intellectual education, and have more possibilities in the future...
Shen Qingyu and Qi Yunxiao no longer care about money.
If you have too much money, you will gradually become numb.
They now only do what they think is meaningful.
I don’t know who was the first. On the nearby island fishing village, there are gradually more small temples. In the temple is a couple wearing red and green.
Local people come here to pay their respects and offer incense on every important occasion.
Shen Qingyu was shocked when she learned that these small temples that could be seen everywhere turned out to be living shrines built by the islanders for herself and Qi Yunxiao!
She looked at Qi Yunxiao in disbelief: "Is this us?"
Qi Yunxiao smiled and nodded.
"Am I so ugly?"
Qi Yunxiao was helpless: "They only have this ability." It would be nice to look like a human being.
Shen Qingyu had no choice but to accept the reality, paused and suddenly asked: "Then no one in Daqi will build a shrine for us?"
Qi Yunxiao smiled again: "No."
Originally there was, but he stopped it in time.
As long as this generation of emperors trusts themselves, it is not certain whether the next generation of emperors will trust themselves.
In this case, why leave hidden dangers?
In this life, it is enough to live well with my wife.
Being famous throughout the world has never been his pursuit.
