Yuan Jiaqi brought Qiao Mai to the backyard. When Qiao Mai saw the picturesque scene, she grinned. “It seems Greeny has taught you a lot.”
“Does it look good?”
“Hmm, not bad. There are vegetables and fruits. Everything is here. It’s like a mini version of my space.”
Yuan Jiaqi reached out, plucked a honeydew, and handed it to Qiao Mai. “Wife, try it.”
Qiao Mai didn’t bother wiping it and took a bite. “It’s fragrant and rich with a hint of spiritual energy. If this melon is sold, it shouldn’t be cheap.” “It’s ten taels of silver for one melon, and they’re still hard to get.”
“You’re getting better at business now.” “It’s all thanks to my wife’s good upbringing.”
“Haha.”
Qiao Mai looked affectionately at Yuan Jiaqi. He felt a flutter in his heart.
“Wife, it’s been ten years.” “Have you missed it?”
“Too much!”
“Come. Let’s go back and satisfy your longing.”
“Haha.”
After many years of marriage, a glance could reveal each other’s thoughts.
The two enjoyed sweet love as if they just dated, not leaving their room for several days. Xi Yu and the others avoided the courtyard, afraid of disturbing the couple.
Five days later, Qiao Mai and Yuan Jiaqi left their room. “Xi Yu?”
“Master, we are all here.”
The four servant girls jumped down from the roof. Qiao Mai glanced at them. “Your stealth skills are good, and your internal strength has become stronger.
You’ve worked hard over these years.”
“Hehe, it’s all thanks to Master’s good guidance.”
“I will go to the capital with my husband tomorrow. You guys can either travel together or go on separate journeys. Remember that when you’re out, don’t do anything that harms people or goes against principles. Don’t use my name to do anything outrageous. If I find out, you know the consequences.”
“Yes, Master.”
“The training period is five years. Get ready.”
After sending away the four girls, Yuan Jiaqi pulled her to sit in the courtyard. “It’s been ten years. We haven’t seen our children.”
“Yeah. Ling’er still only has one child. I guess that scoundrel hasn’t touched her.”
“Maybe Ling’er doesn’t want him to touch her either. After all, he slept with that woman. Like you, Ling’er is fastidious in this regard.”
“The child is only ten years old; he’s still young. It’s too early to let him handle state affairs. It’s like forcing a duck onto a perch.”
“Hehe, Wife, you’re wrong. I heard that Tianyi has been intelligent since childhood. He has an exceptional memory and is talented in civil and martial skills. He looks even better than his father.”
“The better-looking he is, the more likely he is to attract women. In the future, his harem may have countless women. It’s too chaotic.”
“Wife, how do we return to the capital?”
“We will fly! ”
“Don’t you like it?”
“I like it! The last time you took me flying, it only took a second. Can I truly experience the feeling of flying this time?”
“It can only be at night. It’s too conspicuous during the day.”
“Then let me go pack.”
“Go ahead.”
Qiao Mai leisurely sipped tea, not worrying about anything at home. While Yuan Jiaqi packed, she had someone summon all the servants, including the shopkeeper and assistants who ran the store.
They stood nervously in the courtyard, not knowing why Qiao Mai called them.
Qiao Mai looked at them with a smile. “Don’t be nervous. You’ve all done well. I called you here to check your bodies. After so many years, I’ve seen your hard work. If you’re healthy, that’s good. If you’re unwell, I will treat you.”
“Thank you, Master.”
“Line up one by one.”
Qiao Mai checked their pulses. Those without illness received a flow of wood-attributed spiritual energy into their bodies, nourishing them. Those sick were given a pill that instantly removed all hidden injuries. The elderly received a pill for longevity.
Everyone benefited greatly. After leaving the courtyard, some clenched their fists, while others leaped a few times.
“God, I didn’t expect the Royal Consort’s medical skills to be so amazing. She can heal instantly, and we don’t even need to drink bitter medicinal soups.”
“That’s right. Look at who our Master is!”
“Who is she?”
“An immortal.”
“Correct. Our Master is extraordinary.”
The dozens of people in Lucky Graden all praised Qiao Mai but wouldn’t mention these benefits outside.
Without the need for Qiao Mai to say anything, they were self-aware.
Some of the servants were over fifty years old. Living here, eating well, and nourishing their bodies with spiritual fruits and vegetables made them look younger. Some in their sixties worked no less than the young ones. Qiao Mai paid special attention to those over fifty.
As long as they didn’t say they wanted to leave, loyal and devoted servants in the Qiao family wouldn’t be mistreated.
Late at night, the couple held hands, watching the moon.
With a slight pull, Qiao Mai took Yuan Jiaqi into the high sky and experienced the joy of flying.
“Wife, it’s so magical!”
“If you know martial arts, you can still fly for a short distance.”
“Isn’t this internal energy?”
“No, it’s not.”
Yuan Jiaqi looked down and then up at the starry sky.
“The moon seems within reach; it’s so beautiful.”
Qiao Mai flew southward with him, maintaining a slow speed to allow him to experience the pleasure of flying.
As dawn approached, the two landed on the official road near the capital.
Releasing Dongzhao and Dracaena from her space, they slowly rode toward the capital.
“Husband, how does it feel to fly?”
“It’s amazing. How about flying again when we return?”
“If you like it, we’ll fly every time we go out.’
“You’re the best, wife.
While talking, they arrived at the capital. The city gate had just opened. Following the crowd, the two squeezed into the city.
Ten years had passed, and there was almost no change here. Following the direction from their memory, they arrived at Lucky Garden.
The servants inside were cleaning. When they raised their heads and saw Yuan Jiaqi and Qiao Mai, they were momentarily stunned, then immediately shouted in joy.
“The Duke of Blessings and our mistress have returned!”
“We pay respects to master and mistress.”
“Is everything okay at home?”
“Thanks to your blessings, everything is fine.”
The two dismounted. Dongzhao and Dracaena followed them automatically. Some servants ran inside to report.
Jiamei arrived in no time, running to the living room with her two children.
“Father, Mother, you’re finally back!”
Qiao Mai smiled and waved at her. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law had always gotten along well. They embraced each other, and Jiamei immediately called her children over.
“Quickly greet your grandmother and grandfather!”
The two boys and one girl stood out as extraordinary with their beautiful appearances.
“Yuan Chen, Yuan Yu, and Yuan Lin greet Grandfather and Grandmother.”
Qiao Mai went over and hugged each of them before nodding. “Jiamei, you’ve raised these three children well.”
“It’s all thanks to Mother’s guidance.”
Qiao Mai flipped her hand, and three jade pendants appeared. She hung them around the necks of the three children.
“These are not ordinary ornaments. With these, no one can harm you.”
The three children touched the ink-colored jade and said, “Thank you,
Grandmother.”
Yuan Jiaqi looked at what Qiao Mai had given and looked at his wife with a grievance.
Qiao Mai glared at her husband. “What’s mine is yours. What I do equals what you do. What are you calculating?
“Hehe, then I won’t give them anything.”
They haven’t seen Chuan’er. Yuan Jiaqi asked, “Jiamei, where’s Chuan’er?”
“He went to the morning court.”
“Is the emperor hosting or the crown prince now?”
“The emperor. Since the incident, the emperor only lets him assist in handling government affairs. The emperor still handles important affairs personally.” “Is there anything unusual about the crown prince?”
“No, he is the same as before. However, he rarely goes to Ling’er’s palace now.
Even if he does, it’s just for show..”
