Chapter Twenty-Three: The North
In a flash, another few months passed in a hurry.
"Xiaoyun. ”
"Girl, drink the fetal pills. Xiaoyun came over with medicine.
"Let's dry it first, you can do something in the next few days. It's about my pregnancy, don't say anything else, let Lian Bi know first. Be careful, don't show your feet. ”
"Yes. ”
"But girl, this princess is quite bearable, the girl is almost seven months old, and she doesn't say a word. ”
She was waiting for Ye Chu to tell her personally. Wei Yun rubbed her stomach, "Good boy, you have to fight for your mother." It must be a son!"
"Don't worry, girl, it must be a boy. ”
"I hope so. Wei Yun's heart is not in her belly, this child will not be stable until he lands safely.
Xuan Chen was lazy a few days ago and rarely went out of the yard, but after a little better these days, he went to the school with Lian Bi to pick up Li Cong, and came back and walked through the garden in the house.
"Mother, you see that the icebergs newly cultivated by those gardeners are blooming really well this year. Li Cong shook Xuan Chen's hand.
"Yes, it's beautiful, like snow, and it's refreshing to look at it in summer. ”
"Have you heard, Master Hou has an outer room outside. ”
"No, I heard that they are all pregnant. ”
As they walked through the archway, Xuan Chen and Lian Bi both heard the people in the corner chatting as they cleaned. Xuan Chen hurriedly covered Li Cong's ears.
"It's been three years, and Mrs. can't give birth to a child, so she's going to be welcomed into the house. ”
"It's a blessing to have a son. ”
"Shut up, shameless thing!"
The two of them hurriedly knelt down, their heads kept knocking on the ground.
"Lian Bi, come here. Xuan Chen's tone was rarely cold and hard.
"Madame!"
Xuan Chen didn't say much, and hurriedly left with Li Cong, who was not really listening in the clouds.
"Mother, are they telling the truth today?"
"Eat well and don't care what others say. ”
"Oh. Li Cong pulled the rice, and the food was not as fragrant as before. Li Cong is also more than six years old and is a little sensitive to his own background.
Xuan Chen thought that General Gu was desperate to fight a bloody way for Ye Chu, Mrs. Gu committed suicide and martyred her father, and entrusted Xiao Li Cong to Ye Chu also had her own plans. The Lin family can be in charge of martial arts, and the other can enter the literature, even if Li Cong is not good at both, the glory and wealth of his life are indispensable. Lian Bi puffed up all day long, and with Li Cong in front of him, Xuan Chen couldn't say anything.
"What's the matter, look at you one or two sullen. Ye Chu pushed the door in. Even Bi Lianli didn't do it, Xuan Chen glanced at it, and it was not very comfortable.
"It's nothing, Lian Bi lost her temper with me. Xuan Chen put down the dishes and chopsticks, walked over to Ye Chu, and changed Ye Chu's clothes.
"Go eat it. Ye Chu looked at the dishes on the table and didn't move much.
"I have a small appetite and can't eat much. ”
"What Ye Hou did by himself, the whole house knows, but our lady doesn't know it, it's been hidden, Ye Hou really deserves..."
"Lian Bi!" Xuan Chen reprimanded sternly, "Take Li Cong down." ”
Lian Bi glared at Ye Chu, who was stunned, and led Li Cong away. Ye Chu stood in place sluggishly, not knowing what to say.
"I know that when I was in Heyi Temple, I told Master Hou. ”
"I already knew, Miss Wei Yun told me, I'm waiting for when you can talk to me in person. Xuan Chen looked at Ye Chu, his eyes were a little red.
"Xuan'er, I, I'm not..."
"Xuan'er, it's really not what you think. ”
"Now my grandfather's mourning period has not yet reached three years, and I can't publicize it, so I can only take it back quietly, but it is inevitable in the palace, I will say it myself, and I will not cause trouble to the Hou Ye. ”
"Do you just think so?" Ye Chu didn't have the anxious explanation he had before, with a questioning tone.
"What does Master Hou want me to think, is it crying or making trouble, or what?" Xuan Chen couldn't help his emotions a little, and Ye Chu hugged Xuan Chen tightly in his arms.
"As long as you say a word, no one can do anything. ”
"Ye Chu, Ye Mansion also needs a descendant, doesn't it?" Xuan Chen's heart was like a knife.
On the other side, Li Cong was very lonely, his eyes were red, but he just didn't cry.
"Aunt Lianbi, do you say that if Daddy has a new child, will he not like me?"
"No, it won't. Lian Bi suddenly bowed, "You have long been recorded in the name of your mother, your status is noble, don't you know better than others?"
"Then what if, if my mother also has a child in the future?"
"Don't worry, Madame, Madame won't hurt you. ”
Within a few days, Li Ji took Wei Yun into the mansion, so as not to be eye-catching, and arranged Wei Yun in a remote courtyard.
Xuan Chen didn't go to see it, he only sent a few maids to send some things, and he treated each other well, looking at Xuan Chen's good attitude, Ye Chu felt a little uncomfortable.
Yanqing hasn't been to Beigucheng for a long time, and quietly came to collide with Si Ming, and now that the old Guogong is gone, Si Ming is not good to stay in the mansion, and he can only come to see quietly once in a while.
"Yanqing Shenjun. ”
I'm afraid that such a "good show" is indispensable to the help of Si Ming Xingjun. Yan Qing's tone was a little strange.
The Divine Monarch laughed, but they all came up according to the book of fate. ”
"This Shenjun has something to do, you have been in the mortal world recently, if Xuanchen has anything, let me know. ”
"Yes, Xiaoxian wrote it down. ”
"Dare to ask the Divine Monarch, I don't know if the Demon Realm knows that Ye Chu is the Third Highness, or what do the Mountain and River Gods and Tianzun know, Xiaoxian and I can handle it." ”
"All the things, only I know, my father is idle in the world, Tianzun is in retreat, and as for the demon world, I don't know about it. ”
"Thank you, God. ”
The priest commanded.
"What's wrong? I see that your feet don't touch the ground these days. ”
"Something happened in the north. ”
Bai Yuan took the topographic map into the study, and Xuan Chen put down the tea very sensibly and withdrew.
"Madam, Lang Zhong from there came to see it, and said that it would be a few days at the end of this month. ”
"Is it all ready?"
"There's no need for the lady to do this, the old lady is like something. It's not that I said, Madame endured this breath, and the old lady was a little too much, so she went to see it every once in a while. Mrs. even pushed back to say goodbye, under the pretext of supporting the illness, I see that my body and bones are far better than my wife, and it is not a problem to live to eighty. ”
"Okay, you feel sorry for me. This year's autumn whistle deer is afraid that it will not be done again. ”
"What's wrong?"
"Something happened to the northern barbarians and our country's border, if you want to raise troops," Xuan Chen was stunned for a moment, "If you raise troops, it won't be good." Xuan Chen thought that it was no wonder that Brother Wang knew about this matter, and he didn't mention a word, it turned out that it was in this matter. "It was the innocent people who suffered, and the soldiers, who were able to come back in a battle, and I don't know how many were missing. ”
In the evening, Xuan Chen burned incense and lay down, Ye Chu was so focused on the war that he didn't sleep well.
"I'm arguing with you. ”
"No, I can't sleep. ”
"Is it decided?"
"It's decided, the army will be sent in mid-September. ”
"Are you worried about the war?"
After a long time, Ye Chu spoke.
"I think of my grandfather, the Northern Lonely Country was still the weakest among the several countries at that time, and my grandfather jumped on horseback for half his life, and many cities were trampled under his horse. ”
"It is best if there is no war in the world, and it will suffer those people. ”
Ye Chu turned sideways and hugged Xuan Chen.
"If there is no war, then there is still a place for our military generals? Military generals will defend their business, and naturally there will be war, and the weak will inevitably injure the innocent. ”
"Lang Zhong came to see it and said that it was just a few days at the end of this month. ”
"Well, sleep. You have to get some rest. ”
In the past ten days, Ye Chu has been reorganizing his troops in the major battalions, and the main point is still the Northern Flame Army in the North Camp, with iron horses vertical and horizontal, horses stepping on the city, and hearing the wind and dissipating fear.
"Madam, drink the medicine, Madame, this day is not three days, how can I do it. ”
Xuan Chen was about to pick up the medicine bowl and drink the medicine, when someone outside came to inform Wei Yun that he was coming.
"Madam, Wei is here. ”
"Please come in. ”
"Wei Yun came to greet his wife. ”
Lian Bi said angrily, "I haven't seen you come to ask for peace before, but now that you're about to give birth, you're on the gate of the courtyard, don't have any bad intentions." Saying that, he walked out of the door again, "A few of you all come in and wait, don't let Aunt Wei slack off!"
"Yes. ”
"Madame is taking medicine?" Wei Yun's face did not change.
"Yes, I've been in poor health. ”
"Madame is really noble, with such a holy hand as a national teacher. ”
Xuan Chen smiled faintly.
"Madam, do you know when Master Hou will be able to come back? It is estimated that the delivery date will be in these few days. Wei Yun was a little lonely between her pride.
"Now that the barracks are busy, I..."
"Hahaha. Ye Chu's hearty laughter came in from outside, as well as Li Cong's sweet laughter.
"Mother!"
Li Cong threw himself into Xuan Chen's arms and shrank into Xuan Chen's arms and looked at Wei Yun. Wei Yun was a little happy, and immediately got up, Ye Chu entered the room and his smile dissipated, and his face turned irritable and depressed.
"Why are you here?" Ye Chu's tone was a little disgusted.
"Lang Zhong said that the delivery period is just a few days away, and I want to come and see what Master Hou has..."
"Got it, you go down first. Ye Chu didn't wait for Wei Yun to finish speaking.
"Yes. Wei Yun walked slowly with a big belly.
Ye Chu touched the medicine bowl, it was still warm, "Drink it quickly, when it gets cold in a while, you have another excuse." ”
"My mother is not well-behaved at all, and she is not as brave as Li Cong when she takes medicine. ”
"Mother, wait for next month, Li Cong will learn archery. ”
"You didn't learn arrows until you were more than six years old, and it's already a little late, you have to work hard, you know?"
"Hmm!"
"You didn't care about that before. ”
"Li Cong is going to have a big future in the future, right?"
"Yes!"
"Then my mother will be strict with you in the future, but don't blame my mother for being strict. ”
"No, no. Li Cong's head shook like a rattle.
Xuan Chen's words were hinting to Ye Chu, and Ye Chu also knew that he would not treat Li Cong badly.
"Let's take the medicine quickly. ”
"Yes, mother, take medicine. ”
"Mother, is the pill bitter to chew?"
"Not bitter, sweet. Lian Bi looked at Xuan Chen eating the pill and felt a little uncomfortable.
A trace of unhappiness flashed in Ye Chu's eyes.
