When the army returned to Chang ‘an, the Hui Lin Emperor rewarded them for their contributions and even held a palace banquet to reward the three armies. It swept away the haze of the shakedown and beheading of the family.
The Qiao family had contributed the most, but the Hui Lin Emperor only rewarded third master Qiao as the commander-in-chief of the army. He did not give any other rewards. One could not help but wonder if the Hui Lin Emperor was going to deal with the Qiao family.
After all, the grace uncle’s mansion and the Martial Duke’s mansion were both relatives in this rebellion. How could the emperor tolerate the crown princess’relatives being the dominant one?
Because Qiao Jinniang was almost seven months pregnant, she did not attend the banquet in the palace.
After the banquet, Qiao Ruofeng and Qiao Ruowan came to the East Palace to pay their respects to Qiao Jinniang.
