The legitimate daughter was reborn, and the emperor’s little Jiaojiao went crazy.

Chapter 984 I Will Give You the Rest of My Life

Tang Chujun originally did not want to hold a grand wedding for the retired emperor. She never liked publicity, and she did not want to disturb the court because of her own affairs.

According to Tang Chujun's original intention, since it was the remarriage of the retired emperor, the ceremony should be carried out simply according to the ancestral system.

The new emperor had just ascended the throne, and the six palaces were still empty. If there was a big fuss about the marriage of the retired emperor, it would seem inappropriate and would cause people all over the world to talk about it.

Xiao Yunde knew that what Tang Chujun was really worried about was that his second marriage would cause him to be criticized. He was the one who insisted on doing it. He said, "I gave my first half of my life to the country. I will give you my second half of my life."

When you like someone, you can't hide your feelings and you wish the whole world knew about it.

How many pairs of eyes were staring at them. Ever since he announced that he was going to marry Tang Chujun, the discussions had never stopped.

Some people said that Tang Chujun was using his daughter to marry into a wealthy family, while others said that Tang Chujun, as a second bride, was not worthy of the emperor. In short, this marriage received mixed reviews.

Because of this, Xiao Yunde not only wanted to do it, but also wanted to do it in a grand manner.

He ordered the Shangfu Bureau to review the previous dynasty's ceremonies overnight and reject the old system of "relegating a wife to a lower rank". The lights in the embroidery workshop stayed on all night, and the gold and silver needles shuttled across the silk, weaving an unquestionable declaration.

But no matter what, this is still a sequel.

The phoenix feathers on the dress were deliberately shortened, and the eyes of the Zhai bird were replaced with dark green silk threads. Many similar subtle changes were the final insistence of the Ministry of Rites.

After the dress was embroidered, the clothing bureau sent it to the young master's residence for Tang Chujun to try on the size.

The incident happened that day. Xiao Yunde was also present, but after receiving the urgent report, he returned to the palace to handle government affairs.

Tang Chujun was protected by secret guards and was led by Long Jiang himself, so the situation should have been foolproof. However, he suddenly disappeared inexplicably.

When Yao Sheng came back from the farm to look for her after checking the accounts, an unconscious and tied-up embroiderer was lying in the room.

Nanny Zhong always thought that her master was tired and sleeping in the tent, so she didn't dare to disturb him and missed the best opportunity to track him.

By the time the news reached Xiao Yunde, Long Jiang and his men had already searched almost the entire capital, and the palace's clothing bureau was the focus of the investigation, but there was no clue at all.

Xiao Yunde had a bad year this year.

Outside, lights flickered. The lantern festival in the capital was much more lively than that in Lingzhou, but the Qingshou Palace was still deserted.

On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, Emperor Zhaowu brought a piece of news that the one who caused Tang Chujun's disappearance was the Qingtian Ding who was killed and destroyed that year.

Resurrection? No, it's just the remnants seeking revenge.

"He is an adopted son of the head of the Qingtianding family." Emperor Zhaowu's eyes were bloodshot, and it was obvious that he had not been able to sleep.

"Has he been caught?" Xiao Yunde stood up suddenly, "Where is Chu Jun? Has he been found?"

Emperor Zhaowu was silent for a moment before saying, "We caught him, but he bit the poison hidden in his teeth and died." He paused, "We still haven't found Madam Tang."

Xiao Yunde went to check the man's body but found nothing.

His heart was pounding with fear, and his forehead and eyebrows were swollen and painful.

Another tormenting day.

Emperor Zhaowu consoled him, "Don't worry, Madam Tang should be fine. I will continue to find someone to investigate thoroughly."

"Don't make a big fuss and alarm the powerful families." Xiao Yunde reminded, "The safety of Lord Chu is the top priority."

"I understand, son." Emperor Zhaowu responded solemnly. He turned and walked out. When he reached the door, he remembered something and turned back to say, "Father, I have ordered people to stop the news of Madam Tang's disappearance... I was thinking that the prince consort had just passed away, and my sister was having a hard time in Lingzhou with her three children."

Xiao Yunde's eyes turned dark and he was silent for a moment before he said, "You did a good job. It was my fault for not considering it carefully."

Emperor Zhaowu breathed a sigh of relief after getting his father's approval.

Jian'an Hou Mansion.

Shi Yunqi invited his mother Yao Sheng to live in his house to prevent her from having any wild thoughts.

But how could he not miss it? Yao Sheng hadn't had a good meal since Tang Chujun disappeared.

"Mother, please eat something." Wei Cailing had the food placed in Yao Sheng's room. "They are all light and crispy."

Yao Sheng didn't want the younger generation to be sad about Tang Chujun's disappearance and worry about her health, so he silently picked up the bowl and took a few bites.

After eating, she said, "Ling'er, don't worry too much. I asked someone to tell the fortune, and your mother-in-law is fine. She will come back safe and sound sooner or later."

Wei Cailing's eyes were red. She had cried so many times in the past few days. "Well, mother, don't worry too much. My husband saw that you didn't eat or drink, and he kept asking me to take good care of you."

Yao Sheng apologized, "I'm sorry to have caused you trouble."

"What are you saying, mother?" Wei Cailing said sincerely, "Since you came to my house, I have been relieved a lot. You also helped me take care of the children... I am sorry for the trouble."

As they were talking, a child staggered towards them. As he was walking, he fell with a thud.

Wei Cailing and Yao Sheng looked at each other and neither moved, staring at the child.

Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, the child swallowed the cry he had prepared for and tried to get up by himself.

Then I saw a panting figure chasing after me, shouting as he ran, "Why are you here? Ouch, little ancestor, why did you fall? Let me take a look, you got a scratch, does it hurt?"

It would have been fine if I hadn't asked, but once I asked... the child started crying loudly, looking so sad.

Wei Cailing stroked her forehead, "Father, please don't indulge him. He didn't cry at first, but you are..."

The people who came were Shi Chengxuan and Shi Yunqi's son Shi Chaoxi.

Shi Chengxuan held Shi Chaoxi in his arms, coaxing, tricking, and shaking her. Hearing this, he glared at her and said, "I wanted to ask you two questions! Two grown men are sitting here, and you didn't even help my grandson when he fell. What's your intention?"

He didn't know that Tang Chujun was missing, he only knew that the woman was actively preparing for her marriage. He had been holding a lot of anger these days but didn't dare to vent it, now that he had a chance, he had to vent it out.

Before Wei Cailing could say anything, Shi Yunqi came out from the corridor. He was already in a bad mood, and now he felt even worse after hearing the child crying.

Especially listening to his father Shi Chengxuan, who did nothing all day and always caused trouble, added fuel to the fire.

He frowned and took the child from his father's hands, then asked calmly, "Father is very free? Why don't you go to the farm and raise the child for a few months?"

When Shi Chengxuan heard this, he got scared and turned around and left, "I won't go. You're sending me to the farm on New Year's Day."

Would you rather support a mother who has no relatives or friends than support him?

They are all ungrateful people!

He shouted at the top of his voice, "It's spring, I have to go find your sister!"

Humph, he didn't want to hear the news of Tang Chujun's wedding in the capital! Out of sight, out of mind, he was actually looking forward to the beginning of spring.

I heard that under my daughter's governance, Lingzhou not only survived the disaster, but also cleaned up the local bureaucracy and established schools... Whenever Shi Chengxuan went out to drink with others, he would talk about Lingzhou.

"My daughter looks like me!" Shi Chengxuan boasted shamelessly, "She has quite the demeanor of an official like me back when I was a child."

Chang Wu stood aside, holding his cheek, and his teeth ached from listening. "Master, please stop blowing, or the Marquis will kick you out of the house again."

Shi Chengxuan was drunk and drowsy when he heard a piece of gossip: the Empress Dowager who was about to get married had disappeared...
