See the letter:

Husband, how are you at the border now? I was fine in the house, but yesterday our boy kicked me again, and my grandmother was overjoyed, saying that he must be a healthy and naughty child, and that both men and women would personally teach him martial arts and sword training, and be a great hero like his father......

In a bitter cold place at the border, Duan Rongjing once again received a letter from home, looking at him, there was a trace of tenderness in his eyes, and he seemed to see his little wife working hard to conceive their child through the lines.

He thought that if it was a girl, it would be better to be like her, gentle and demure, and he would protect his daughter for the rest of his life, and if it was a man, he would personally teach him martial arts and be a man who protected his mother.

"General, the Turkic army looted another village today, and by the time we rushed over, that village had already been washed in blood." Duan Rongjing was about to reply to the letter when his men from outside came in to report.

He stopped his pen and picked up the helmet on one side: "Inform General Wang that they are assembled." ”

"Yes."

"Madame, is your belly too big?" Ye Qiu was actually sure that Zhong Lan was pregnant with twins, but others only knew that she had recently started to see medical skills, but they didn't know that her medical skills were so powerful, so it was just a vague reminder.

"Is it big?" Zhong Lan actually didn't know much about this, but she just felt that her appetite was very good these days.

"I'll ask Imperial Doctor Wang to take a look."

"No need, Imperial Physician Wang comes once a month, and it's only been twenty days since the last pulse, didn't Imperial Physician Wang say that everything is normal?"

"But it was only three months last time, and it's normal for Imperial Doctor Wang to not see it, and now it's almost four months, madam, your belly is already so big, and the slave is really a little worried."

"Forget it, anyway, in ten days, the imperial doctor will be here."

Although Zhong Lan refused, when she went to Luoying Courtyard to ask for peace, Mrs. Hou also found out that something was abnormal.

"Isn't this belly too big?"

An old woman next to her said: "The old slave looks like twins, otherwise the four-month-old belly would not be so pregnant." ”

"Really? Is it really twins? Mrs. Hou said happily, "Back then, the old Hou had a twin sister, but unfortunately she died early, people say that twins will be inherited, but my two children are singletons, will this inherit Dao Rongjing here?" ”

"It's very likely, why don't we ask Imperial Doctor Wang to take a look."

This fetus is abnormal, and no one has ever suspected that this is not Wei Yuanhou's child, because they have all seen Yuanpa on the night of marriage, and Wei Yuanhou is not a fool, let others cuckold him, and besides, it was clear that Zhong Lan was the most suitable and best person selected by Mrs. Hou, and there was no possibility or opportunity to do such a stupid thing.

So the only possibility is that she is really pregnant with twins, and it would be a surprise if the pulse came out if it was true.

Imperial Doctor Wang came soon, and at the same time, Mrs. Shen, who heard the news, was waiting for the news with Mrs. Laohou.

This time, the imperial physician took the pulse for a longer time than before, and Mrs. Lao Hou and Zhong Lan couldn't help but be a little anxious, only Ye Qiu was as steady as Mount Tai.

After a long time, Imperial Physician Wang finally withdrew his hand.

"How? Is it a twin? Second Mrs. Shen asked her mother-in-law.

"That's right, twins." Imperial Physician Wang nodded with a smile, "It's just that one of the fetuses is relatively weak, so I didn't take it out the first few times." ”

As soon as these words came out, Mrs. Hou asked anxiously: "Weak? Will that be okay? ”

Zhong Lan also lifted his heart, and his hands involuntarily touched his stomach.

"It's no big problem, now the month is too shallow, and it's normal to grow slowly, I'll prescribe two tonics, but Mrs. Hou remembers that you must not blindly take tonics, if the twins are too big, it will be a little difficult to be born at that time, and it is not good for Mrs. Hou and the child in her belly." Imperial Physician Wang explained carefully.

He specializes in gynecology, and this kind of situation is seen more in the families of the powerful, some families do not care about whether the pregnant woman will have dystocia for the sake of the heir, but they do not know that the dystocia of the pregnant woman is not good for the fetus, and if it cannot be born for a long time, it will cause fetal suffocation, even if it is a fluke, it may also be suffocated as a fool.

He is not a particularly noble person, but he knows that Wei Yuanhou is now defending his family and country at the border, and he must not let anything happen to his wife and children.

"Thank you, Imperial Physician Wang, we remember."

After sending off Imperial Physician Wang, Mrs. Lao Hou became more solemn to Zhong Lan, and carefully explained according to the Imperial Doctor's words: "Listen to Imperial Physician, eat when you are hungry, but you can't eat more, and the usual please be exempted, and I want you and the two children to be safe and sound after six months." ”

"Thank you, grandmother."

"Lan Lan hurriedly wrote another letter to Rong Jing, the child, so that he could be happy, there are two children at once, it would be best if there was a son and a daughter." Second Mrs. Shen said happily.

Mrs. Hou also took over: "It's time to write a letter to tell him, by the way, make him a few more clothes for the winter, it's cold at the border, and I don't know if he takes good care of himself, Lan Lan, you are his wife, these things will be handed over to you in the future, you don't have to worry about other things for now, wait for you to give birth to a child peacefully, and then take over the entire Hou Mansion." ”

Mrs. Hou's words completely fixed Zhong Lan's heart, and from this day on, she was relieved to raise a fetus in Qingfeng Courtyard, and occasionally went to Luoying Courtyard for a walk, because the imperial doctor said that the older the month, the more exercise you should have, so that it will be smoother when it comes to childbirth.

"General, the army is ready, when are we going to raid?" In the bitter cold land of the border pass, the border area between the two countries, the situation here is also becoming more and more serious.

"Three days later, at noon, all the army obeyed my orders." Duan Rongjing commanded to everyone.

"Yes!"

After everyone walked out of the big tent, a few black-clothed people came in the big tent unconsciously: "Master Hou, everything is ready according to your instructions." ”

"Well, inform General Li that the official date of battle is tomorrow evening, so that he and his soldiers are ready."

"But Master Hou, in this way, our army will be greatly reduced!"

"I'd rather have fewer soldiers than fight inside and out."

The man listened with resentment on his face: "Master Hou, obviously those people have colluded with the Turkic army, do we still have to endure it like this?" These people don't treat the people at the border as human beings at all! ”

"What if you can't bear it? Do we have proof? And they are all the people of the Great Prince, and the Great Prince is now convinced of the favor of the Holy Lord, do you think he will believe in me, the courtier, or will he believe in his favorite son? Go ahead, don't talk too much, I've got my own arrangements. ”

"Yes."
