Ye sent someone to send good news to An Guogong on the same day.

After An Guogong learned the news that Xu Jinyu was pregnant, he immediately frowned, and his face was gloomy.

However, since Chen Yuanzhao is married, it is only a matter of time before there is such a day. An Guogong's heart was gloomy for a moment, and he quickly calmed down.

Xu Jinyu may not be able to win in one fell swoop. Taking a step back, even if he gave birth to a son, he could find other excuses to delay. As long as he didn't take the initiative to go to the court to ask for the prince, no matter how hard the Ye family tried, it would be useless!

An Guogong didn't know that Chen Yuanzhao didn't pay attention to the position of the prince he had worked so hard to keep.

In the evening, Chen Yuanzhao returned home.

As soon as they met, they couldn't wait to ask, "Ah Yu, have you asked the doctor to check the pulse?" ”

Xu Jinyu nodded, pursed her lips and smiled: "The doctor came in the morning, and it was confirmed that it was Ximai." ”

Chen Yuanzhao felt a burst of ecstasy in his heart, picked up Xu Jinyu, and spun around. Then he kissed Xu Jinyu's face hard: "Ayu, you are pregnant with our child." ”

Xu Jinyu hummed softly, snuggled her head into Chen Yuanzhao's arms, and her heart was overflowing with tenderness.

She was pregnant with his child, and she was going to be a mother.

The "pregnancy" in her previous life was just a conspiracy and calculation, which brought her endless humiliation and pain. She was nominally the mother of a child, but when she saw that child occasionally, she had nothing but disgust and hatred in her heart.

Now, she finally has her own flesh and blood. She had fallen in love with the unborn child.

"Zixi, do you like a son or a daughter?" This question. Probably all pregnant women love to ask. Xu Jinyu is not exempt from vulgarity.

Chen Yuanzhao replied without thinking: "Give birth to a daughter, look like you, beautiful, intelligent, gentle and lovely." ”

Xu Jinyu couldn't help but curl the corners of her lips: "When did you learn to be clever and eloquent." ”

Nowadays, everyone is patriarchal. Chen Yuanzhao has the ambition to win the throne. Naturally, there is a need for offspring. Now I say this, obviously to make her happy.

Chen Yuanzhao seemed to guess what Xu Jinyu was thinking, and said in a low voice: "Of course my son wants it, but I really want a daughter." In short, as long as it is born to you, I like it. ”

Xu Jinyu eyebrows, eyes and lips. All of them had sweet smiles.

"I invited a doctor to come today, and I can't hide your pregnancy. Sister-in-law, they all know it! Chen Yuanzhao asked.

Xu Jinyu snorted, thinking of the situation in the Shi'an Hall during the day. I couldn't help but laugh.

Chen Yuanzhao asked curiously, "What's wrong?" What's so funny? ”

"Today I can see how powerful my mother-in-law is. The sister-in-law couldn't say anything when she was choked, and she had to pretend to be casual and laugh. Xu Jinyu smiled and told the events of the day.

Chen Yuanzhao tugged at the corners of his lips, not surprised at all: "Mother's methods are more than these. You'll learn it later. ”

With the Ye family taking good care of Xu Jinyu, no one dares to think about it anymore. and then Rue Xiang personally protects Xu Jinyu. He can rest assured

Chen Yuanzhao didn't know what came to mind. He restrained his smile and looked slightly calm.

Xu Jinyu noticed that something was wrong: "Did you have something unspeakable that you didn't say?" "What is it that makes Chen Yuanzhao stumble?

Chen Yuanzhao hesitated for a moment before he said in a low voice: "Since Wei Ninghou returned to the capital, the border area has not been peaceful. The Xiongnu invaded the border pass several times, and the battles were won and defeated by each other. Two cities were also lost at the border pass. After receiving the battle report, the emperor was very angry. was furious in the court, and planned to send troops to the border to support. Take back the city taken by the Huns, and then drive the Huns back to the outside of the pass"

The words are not finished yet. Xu Jinyu guessed Chen Yuanzhao's intentions, and quickly said, "Do you want to take the initiative to ask Ying to go to the border gate?" ”

Chen Yuanzhao was silent.

Most of the civil servants are promoted by virtue of their own merits or their own merits. The generals are different, relying on real military exploits. As long as the military merits are outstanding, they can stand tall.

Take Wei Ninghou as an example, he has been stationed at the border for many years and has made great achievements. Although King Qin, who murdered the crown prince, was his own nephew, he was not implicated. Now he is temporarily recuperating in Beijing by recuperation, but no one dares to underestimate Wei Ninghou. As long as there is a suitable opportunity, it is not difficult to recover again.

Chen Yuanzhao has both ability and ambition, so he naturally wants to seize this opportunity to make military achievements and increase his weight in the emperor's heart.

However, Xu Jinyu left the capital just after she was pregnant, and he was really relieved.

Xu Jinyu thought of Chen Yuanzhao leaving his side, and he was reluctant to give up, and said calmly: "I can take care of myself, and my mother-in-law is here, you don't have to worry about me, just go!" ”

Chen Yuanzhao sighed: "This time is not as good as the time I went to Shandong." The border pass is a long way, and the army travels long distances, and it takes several months just to travel back and forth. When I got there, I don't know how long the battle would take, maybe three or five months, maybe a year and a half. If I go, I don't know when I'll be back. ”

Maybe you won't even be able to catch up with the birth of a child.

Xu Jinyu endured reluctance, pretending to smile lightly: "Giving birth to a child is originally my business, even if you stay by my side, you can only watch with your eyes, and you can't help at all." ”

The more Xu Jinyu behaved virtuous and open-minded, the more guilty Chen Yuanzhao felt: "Ah Yu, I'm sorry. Actually, I am in the court today, and I have already taken the initiative to ask for it, although the emperor did not answer on the spot, but maybe I will make a holy decree in a few days, sorry! ”

At this time, I shouldn't have left you.

However, I still have a sea of blood and revenge that I have not yet avenged, and I still have ideals and ambitions that have not been realized, and I can't miss such a good opportunity.

I'm sorry!

Chen Yuanzhao looked at Xu Jinyu steadily, his deep eyes full of apology.

Xu Jinyu looked back gently: "Zixi, I know your life experience, I know the hatred and pain you carry, and I also know what you will face if you marry." Since I have decided to marry you, I will be with you through thick and thin. It doesn't matter what you decide. I will stand by your side and advance and retreat with you. ”

"There is a war at the border, and it is a good opportunity for you to make war achievements. I can't help you anything else. However, I can always take care of myself and not let you worry about me. ”

So, you don't have to feel guilty. Go if you want! ”

As soon as he spoke, Chen Yuanzhao, who listened to it, was in a surging mood, and hugged Xu Jinyu tightly in his arms: "Ayu, marry you." It's the greatest luck of my life. ”

If a wife is like this, what more can a husband ask for!

It took a long time for Chen Yuanzhao's emotions to calm down. Slightly let go of his arm: "I was so hard just now." It didn't hurt you! ”

Xu Jinyu smiled dumbly: "I'm just pregnant, where did I become so delicate." After a pause, he asked with concern: "If you want to lead the troops to the border pass, when will you leave?" ”

Chen Yuanzhao groaned slightly: "If the emperor agrees." Soon there will be a decree. The army marched out. It takes about half a month to prepare heavy grain and grass. ”

Xu Jinyu snorted, thought for a while and asked: "The King of Wei and the King of Chu are fighting fiercely, you leave the capital at this time, what if when you come back, the emperor has already decided that one of them will be the crown prince?" ”

Chen Yuanzhao raised his eyebrows and said lightly: "Don't worry, I have already made arrangements." ”

But he didn't elaborate on how it was arranged.

Xu Jinyu didn't ask much.

She is not proficient in the intrigue and struggle in the court. Even if you know something, it won't help anything. Now she is pregnant. It is not advisable to worry about it. Chen Yuanzhao didn't want to say more, but he didn't want her to be bothered!

Xu Jinyu asked in a low voice, "Do you plan to tell your mother-in-law about this?" ”

In the past, Chen Yuanzhao would probably shake his head without hesitation, but at this time, he responded: "Tell her!" Let her be mentally prepared. ”

He walked away like this, and he didn't know how long it would take to return. The safety of Xu Jinyu and the child in her womb must be entrusted to the Ye family

After dinner, Chen Yuanzhao went to Shi'an Hall.

Xu Jinyu wanted to accompany Chen Yuanzhao, but was resolutely stopped by Chen Yuanzhao: "It's dark and it's inconvenient to walk, what if you accidentally fall." I'll just go alone, and you can stay in Moyuan Residence in peace. ”

Xu Jinyu felt heartwarming and a little helpless and funny. However, she really couldn't resist the stubborn Chen Yuanzhao, so she had to respond.

Ye was already about to fall asleep, but when he heard that Chen Yuanzhao was coming, he was quite surprised, and said casually: "I'll go out and let him wait for a while." ”

As soon as the words fell, I saw Chen Yuanzhao's figure appear by the door, paused invisibly, and then strode in.

Ye's heart trembled, and he suddenly had the urge to cry.

After so many years, the relationship between mother and son is cold and sad.

After Chen Yuanzhao had a serious illness when he was eight years old, every time he went to Shi'an Hall, he was only willing to stay in the inner hall to talk. He would never come to her house again. is obviously the closest person in the world, but he is drifting away.

After more than ten years, Chen Yuanzhao was finally willing to step into her house again. Does this mean that Chen Yuanzhao's heart knot towards her has finally eased?

The surprise in Ye's eyes was so obvious, even if Chen Yuanzhao was cold-hearted, he couldn't help but sigh secretly.

How did they get to this point? Those distant memories are still difficult to let go of, but they are no longer stuck in their throats.

Anyway, it was the Ye family who gave him life and raised him.

For the grace of birth and cultivation, he should also be a little nicer to the Ye family.

"Mother, I'm coming here so late to disturb your rest!" Chen Yuanzhao tried to soften the lines on his face. It's a pity that he has a cold face all the year round, and he can't help but look stiff when he squeezes out a smiling face so bluntly.

Ye Shi was flattered, and responded excitedly: "Don't bother, as long as you are willing to come, don't bother at any time" Ye, who has always been reserved and elegant, spoke a little incoherently. There was a faint glint of water in his eyes.

Chen Yuanzhao felt a little sour in his heart and wanted to open his mouth to say something.

However, when the words came to his lips, he couldn't say anything.

Ye is so careful and keen, from Chen Yuanzhao's expression that he wants to speak and stop, he can already see his thoughts. His heart became more and more agitated: "Yuan Zhao, my mother used to be impulsive and did something wrong. After so many years, in fact, I have regretted it, but the big mistake has been made, and it is useless to regret it. I could only maintain my pride and hold on. The person I can't live with is you."

As he spoke, tears slid down his cheeks and dripped quickly.

How can you not regret it?

She was impulsive and ruined her chastity, and then the bead womb secretly gave birth to Chen Yuanzhao. An Guogong was weak and useless, and he was cuckolded by the emperor and didn't dare to speak out at all, and even had to cover her up everywhere. He still left the affairs of the inner house to her. All the resentment was transferred to the young Chen Yuanzhao.

She looked at her young son with admiration and longing for his father's care, but she was disappointed again and again.

She watched the little Chen Yuanzhao practice martial arts diligently, but she never got praise from An Guogong.

She watched as the smile on his face grew less and less, and became more and more silent.

Of course, she knew what was going on, and she could neither explain nor comfort Chen Yuanzhao. The guilt in my heart is pressing on my heart day by day, and it is heavy and breathless.

She was heartbroken and regretted.

Unfortunately, there is no regret medicine in the world. The bitter fruit she planted herself can only be tasted slowly in the long lonely and bleak night.

Ye's tears rained down, and his eyes were blurred.

Chen Yuanzhao seemed to sigh, and a low voice came into Ye's ears: "Mother, don't cry. You didn't feel sorry for me, it was because I was young and ignorant, and I blamed you for all the faults. For so many years, I have been resentful and resentful of you. ”

"The past is over, and we won't talk about it again."

Ye Shi cried and laughed, trembling and wiped his tears with his sleeve: "Yes, yes, you are right." I'll listen to you in everything from now on. ”

Such an eager and cautious flattery made Chen Yuanzhao feel uncomfortable.

Was he too cold and ruthless before? Now a little bit of relaxation and softening can also make Ye so happy?

Chen Yuanzhao said calmly: "I came here so late because I had an extremely important matter to discuss with my mother. Then he told him what had happened in the court.

When it came to business, Ye's expression was much more solemn: "When there is a war at the border pass, there is a border army to deal with." Even if the emperor wants to send reinforcements, he shouldn't let you go. ”

There are some things that need not be said too thoroughly, and the mother and son also know it.

How could the emperor be willing to send his own son to such a dangerous place?

Chen Yuanzhao said lightly: "I have already taken the initiative to invite Ying. Now that Wei Ninghou is recuperating in the capital, the old generals can't withstand the fierce battle, and among the young generals, who is more qualified than me to go? The emperor is hesitant now, as long as I play two more times, the emperor will not find any reason to stop me. ”

The fall of King Qin was undoubtedly a heavy blow to the Marquis of Weining.

He wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to seize the prestige of the first person in the Weining Marquis army and build momentum for himself. (To be continued......)
