A genius girl with her own space

Chapter 141 Deep Feelings

"Master's wife, this is the special tea supplied by the palace. Please accept it." Zhou Jingze said.

"Master's wife thanks Jingze." Master's wife took the tea and put it away with a smile. Yun Jizi looked at them with a smile.

Soon, the imperial gifts arrived at the Prince's residence. They contained many valuable and nourishing items. Qiqi was deeply touched. Although she had everything she needed, the old emperor had no idea.

The Jiang family also sent a lot of precious Chinese medicinal herbs and cakes that Qiqi liked to eat. Jiang Shuoan and Zhao Yunniang also came to visit their daughter.

"Qiqi, you're back. Let me see if you're okay." Zhao Yunniang pulled Qiqi around and looked at her. Only then did she feel relieved. "Mom, Dad, are you all okay? It's all my fault for being unfilial. I wasn't able to be there for you and fulfill my filial duties. I hope you'll forgive me." Qixiang knelt down and tried to kowtow to her parents.

Zhao Yunniang quickly grabbed Qiqi. "Qiqi, you're traveling for the country and the people. You're doing this for us and the people of Da Zhou."

"Mother, Father, please come and sit down."

"Hello, father-in-law and mother-in-law. Please take a seat and serve tea." "Thank you, Your Highness." Jiang Shuoan said.

Qiqi asked her parents to sit down, and Zhou Jingze poured them some tea. He then went to the study, letting Qiqi and her parents have a good chat. They had a lot to talk about. Qiqi checked on her parents' health. They were both fine, and Qiqi felt relieved.

Qiqi spent the entire afternoon chatting with her parents. After dinner, as her parents were about to leave, she gave them the longevity elixir she had personally prepared and told them to take it home. She would return to stay with them for a few days. Tomorrow, Qiqi would go to the palace to see her father.

Qiqi escorted her parents out of the Prince's Mansion, and Zhou Jingze followed them out. "Father and mother-in-law, please stay with Qiqi for one night and leave tomorrow."

"We are relieved to see that Qiqi is healthy. Prince, please take good care of Qiqi. She is pregnant now and needs your company."

"I understand, mother-in-law. I will take good care of Qiqi. We will visit you in a few days. Don't worry."

Qiqi sent her parents away, and she and Zhou Jingze returned to the palace hand in hand. After Zhou Jingze took care of Qiqi and she fell asleep, he returned to the study to read letters and handle state affairs.

Qiqi got up as soon as the sun rose, but didn't see Zhou Jingze. She went to the study to look for Zhou Jingze and saw him sleeping on the desk.

Qiqi covered Zhou Jingze with a piece of clothing. Zhou Jingze woke up.

"Qiqi, you're up. I was busy doing things very late and didn't want to disturb you, so I didn't go back."

"Brother Jingze, you almost didn't sleep all night. Come, go to the small tower and rest for a while. We will go to the palace."

After Qiqi and Zhou Jingze finished their breakfast, they went to the palace.

The old emperor had just finished his court session and was waiting for them in his study. He was delighted to see Qiqi and quickly had the steward bring up some cakes. There were osmanthus cakes, hawthorn cakes, glutinous rice cakes, and more than a dozen other flavors.

Qiqi quickly thanked her father and went to rest in the small tower. Zhou Jingze and his father talked about the mining business. They also talked about the prefectural governor. He said that officials should be sent to inspect the area frequently to prevent the emergence of prefectural governors and county magistrates.

Inform the entire Great Zhou of the prefect's affairs to prevent such officials from appearing again.

Don't wait until autumn to execute him. Zhou Jingze suggested that his father send an official from the imperial court to supervise the execution and execute him on the spot to serve as a warning to others.

The old emperor listened to Zhou Jingze's advice and sent General Liu to supervise the execution, and announced it to the whole country to deter all officials.

The old emperor also issued an order to the Censorate, asking them to thoroughly investigate whether any officials who had contact with the prefect had any financial transactions.

The old emperor's order frightened the officials who had dealings with the prefect so much that they contacted the Censorate themselves and handed over all the things the prefect had sent them.

This is really like pulling out a carrot and bringing out the dirt. Several officials have been brought down.

At noon, the old emperor asked the steward to prepare some food suitable for pregnant women for Qiqi. Qiqi was deeply touched by the special care he showed her. After finishing her lunch, Qiqi took out the longevity pill she had made for her father and gave it to him, watching him take it.

Qiqi was afraid that her father would not eat it, so she gave it to the concubine. Qiqi told her father that this was specially made for him. After taking it, he would get sick less often, or even not get sick at all.

The old emperor was as happy as a child when he heard Qiqi say this. Jingze has a daughter-in-law like you, it's like picking up a treasure.

I'm also very pleased to have a daughter-in-law like you. If you're busy, once the child is born, your father will raise him for you. I don't think Jingze's ambition is to be on the throne. His son will inherit my throne in the future.

Qiqi looked at her father and was very moved. He knew that Brother Jingze would follow her to the immortal world to seek revenge in the future, so he had to intensify his training now. He had no more time to help the old emperor handle state affairs.

Qiqi felt a little guilty. She took out another magical apple and gave it to her father. She and Jingze each took one. Qiqi saw the chief eunuch standing nearby and gave him one.

The old emperor and the chief eunuch took a bite and couldn't stop eating. In a short while, they ate the whole apple. The old emperor and the chief eunuch looked at each other and thought that such a delicious apple made them feel refreshed and their minor ailments disappeared.

The steward knelt down and said, "Thank you, Princess. All my pains are relieved after eating this apple." He kowtowed to Qiqi three times.

Qiqi quickly dodged. "Master, you are too polite. You have worked hard to take care of our father."

"Qiqi, father begs you, if you still have the longevity pill, can you give one to the old steward?" The old emperor said, bowing to Qiqi. Qiqi quickly bowed to her father and helped him up. Zhou Jingze also hurried over to help his father.

"Father, please don't be like this. I also want to refine it for the old steward. I refined it for my family. Give it to the old steward first. I will go back and refine it in the evening." Qiqi took out a longevity pill and gave it to the old steward.

The old steward wept tears of gratitude and knelt before the old emperor. "Your Majesty, thank you for thinking of me." With trembling hands, he took the pill and put it into his mouth.

"Old slave, thank you Crown Princess and Crown Prince."

"Brother, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't be who I am today. You've risked your life to save me so many times. There's so little I can do for you. I hope you'll stay with me until we grow old, so I'll have a companion." The old emperor's heart was filled with emotion, tears streaming down his face. He helped the old steward up, and Zhou Jingze reached out to support him.

Qiqi was moved by their deep brotherhood and tears filled her eyes.

"Qiqi, let me make you laugh. We two old guys are so useless. I am crying." The old emperor laughed loudly. The old steward also laughed.

Qiqi and Zhou Jingze were in a heavy mood. They forced themselves to smile and chat with the old emperor.

They chatted with the old emperor about what they had encountered outside these days, and Qiqi patiently told her father everything. When they talked about funny things, they made the old emperor laugh heartily, and the old steward also laughed along with him.
