Hu Zheng turned his head to look at his stepson, "Grandma, who is he?" ”

Xia Muyao pulled her stepson and said back to Zheng: "His name is Hu Renji, and he is your younger brother...... Stepson, this is your brother. ”

After listening to Xia Muyao's words, the two little guys looked at each other curiously, but neither of them took the initiative to speak, and they were a little wary.

"Okay, two stinky boys, your grandma has worked hard all the way, let her go and rest." Hu Hao saw it on the side, and couldn't help but come over, hugged Hu Zheng and Hu Renji from left to right, turned around and walked to the house.

Xia Muyao and Duoya glanced at each other and couldn't help but smile, during this time, Hu Hao has been living in the Domain Prince's Mansion, and has taken care of Duo Ya, and Duo Ya is not as disgusted with Hu Hao as before, it is really Hu Hao who looks wandering, but he has his own character and bottom line.

"During these days, did the fifth prince bully his sister?" Xia Muyao looked at Huhao's back and asked Doya.

Hearing Xia Muyao ask, Duoya hurriedly shook her head, "After you left, the fifth prince was more serious than before, and when he saw me, he just treated me politely, and he didn't scorn me in words for half a minute." ”

When Xia Muyao heard this, she couldn't help but smile and shook her head, "This fifth prince, I really can't tell what kind of person he is." ”

Doya couldn't help laughing, and there was no longer the disgust for Hu Hao in her expression.

Xia Muyao glanced at Duoya meaningfully, her smile deepened, but she didn't say anything more, and walked up the stairs with Duoya.

**

When Xia Muyao returned to Tengchong Courtyard, Duoya said a few words to Xia Muyao at the door and left. She knew that Xia Muyao had been tired all the way, and this was the time to rest.

Hu Hao took the two children to play in Tengchong Courtyard, and when the two little ones saw Grandma coming back, they all ran to her, one by one by Xia Muyao's legs, and then they still looked at each other, with displeasure in their expressions.

Xia Muyao took one in one hand and walked towards Tengchong Courtyard.

Hu Hao watched from the side, the smile on his face never faded, he looked at Xia Muyao, more than half a year has passed, she has lost some weight, and there is more and more perseverance on her body, but she is still so beautiful that people can't take their eyes off.

"Fifth prince, you go back first, I'll take them with me." Xia Muyao saw that Hu Hao had been looking at her, so she turned her head and said to Hu Hao.

"Leave these two little guys to me, you wash the dust and rest for a while." After Hu Hao finished speaking, without waiting for Xia Muyao to agree, he bent over and said to Zheng and Renji: "Boys, my father-in-law will take you to play." ”

Zheng Huan has always been used to playing with Hu Hao, so he ran over.

Renji still stayed by Xia Muyao's side, frowning and looking at Hu Hao and Zhenghui, wanting to follow, but feeling strange.

"Go, bring my brother over, let Grandma rest." Hu Hao whispered in Zhenghuan's ear.

Zhenghuan sensibly turned around and stretched out his little hand to Renji, "Brother, brother, brother will take you to play." ”

Renji didn't speak, and looked at Xia Muyao with a small face.

"Go ahead and have fun with my brother." Xia Muyao squatted down and smiled softly at Renji.

Only then did Renji stretch out his hand to Zhenghui, and followed Zhenghui step by step.

Xia Muyao looked at their small figures, with a smile of relief on her face.

Even Yan Ling was happy to watch it on the side, and said to Xia Muyao: "It's good now, the two little sons also have a companion, and they can play together in the future." ”

Xia Muyao also nodded, and then said tiredly: "Let them prepare some bath water, wash and I will sleep well, I haven't slept peacefully in these days." ”

Yan Ling was busy.

After the bath was finished, Xia Muyao wrote a letter to Huerhe and handed it to Yan Ling, "Give this letter to the housekeeper and let him arrange to send it to King Yan, you can also go and rest after doing this, you don't have to come and serve." ”

Yan Ling hurriedly thanked Xia Muyao for her compassion, took the letter and turned around and went out.

Xia Muyao was overwhelmed by endless exhaustion, so she went to bed and lay down, thinking of Huerhe in her mind, thinking about his current condition, and after a while, she fell asleep.

**

I slept very deeply, and I still didn't wake up at dinner.

Hu Hao instructed his subordinates not to disturb Xia Muyao, just wait for her to wake up after she had slept enough. And Zheng Huan and Renji were all taken by Hu Hao, Hu Hao has the temperament of a child king, and the two children play well with him.

After dinner, Renji was also sleepy, Lai chattered to find Xia Muyao, Huhao held him in his arms, and talked to him while shaking, Renji listened at first, and gradually his eyes couldn't open.

When Renji fell asleep, Hu Hao put him on the bed, and then whispered to Zhenghuan: "My brother has just returned home, and he is still very new to everything, you have to take good care of him, if he wakes up at night, take him to find his father-in-law, don't disturb your grandma, do you hear?" ”

"I know." Zheng also nodded and replied dryly.

"Good boy." Hu Hao touched Zhenghuan's head with satisfaction and said approvingly.

But Hu Hao's worries were superfluous, and Renji worked hard all the way for many days, not only did he sleep soundly at night, but he slept until three o'clock in the morning on the second day.

Zheng also woke up in the morning, lay on the side of the bed and looked at Renji, who was sleeping soundly, and asked Huhu, "Father-in-law, will he sleep stupidly?" ”

Huhao smiled, "Stepson, he's just tired, let him sleep, don't make any noise about him." ”

Then, Hu Hao took Zheng back out of the room, but he met Xia Muyao, who came to see Renji, Zheng also saw his aunt, hurriedly ran over, and called crisply: "Grandma." ”

"I'm afraid my stepchild is tired and still asleep." Hu Hao said to Xia Muyao.

"I'm relieved to be able to sleep steadily, this child will only sleep peacefully if he doesn't touch one place." Xia Muyao said softly.

"It is not surprising that the stepchild is the flesh and blood of Huerhe, and he should have a natural sense of belonging to this family." Hu Hao felt that it was natural for Renji to like the feudal palace.

Hearing Hu Hao say this, Xia Muyao's heart moved, and she asked again: "According to the fifth prince, does this child grow with me or with Huerhe?" ”

"Except for his eyes, which are a little like you, everything else looks like Huerhe, don't you see the way he speaks? It's exactly the same as when Huerkh was a child. Hu Hao couldn't help laughing.

When Xia Muyao heard this, she didn't know how happy she was, she had never felt that Hu Hao had spoken like this.

"After a while, there will be Lang Zhong entering the house, you are pregnant now, and the road is bumpy, let Lang Zhong be good to see if it can be hindered, in addition, if you have a meal you want to eat, let the next person order it in advance, if there are some ingredients in demand, it is better to purchase them in advance." Hu Hao said a few more words.

Xia Muyao nodded, and then said sincerely: "These days, there are five princes in the mansion. ”

"Ahem, I don't know how to lead troops to fight, and I can only take care of the house for Huerhe, if you say some polite words, I think you are scolding me." Hu Hao glanced at Xia Muyao.

Xia Muyao smiled slightly, without words.

After a while, Lang Zhong entered the house and took the pulse for Xia Muyao, although Xia Muyao was tired, but everything was fine.

Only then did Hu Hao put his mind at ease and ordered someone to take a reward for Lang Zhong and send him out of the house.

**

After returning to the vassal king's mansion, the days soon returned to peace, winter has arrived, Xia Muyao stayed in the charcoal fire all day long, warm as summer in the bedroom, thinking of Huerhe who was on the battlefield, he lost his mind, and stayed for a long time.

She often looked at Huerhe in the portrait in a daze, and her heart was always lifted, she was afraid that he would be wounded on the battlefield or die.

In order not to disturb herself with these cranky thoughts, Xia Muyao often went to Duoya's yard to walk around, drink tea with her, play chess, and chat, which was a good place to go.

"Unconsciously, I've lived in the vassal king's mansion for almost four years, and if it weren't for my sister's generosity, I wouldn't have had such a peaceful life." Doya listened to the sound of the wind and cold outside, and said with emotion.

"Sister, what are you talking about, it is my blessing that you are willing to live in the vassal palace and be my companion, Yan Wang is busy with government affairs, and he doesn't spend as much time with me as my sister." Xia Muyao said with a smile.

Duoya smiled faintly, knowing that Xia Muyao was a comforting word, but she didn't continue to say anything, but changed the topic, "I don't know how long this battle can last." ”

"That's what I'm talking about." Xia Muyao sighed and said.

Then the two fell silent.

Although Xia Muyao returned to the mansion, Hu Hao still lived in the mansion of the vassal king, he learned the lesson of the last time, no matter what, Xia Muyao could not be left alone in the mansion, if anyone entered the mansion to make trouble, then it would be good to step on his corpse.

Hu Hao laid down a lot of heavy troops in the palace of the vassal king, and at night, dozens of guards took turns to inspect the inside and outside of the wall. The Tengchong Courtyard where Xia Muyao lives, and the courtyard where Renji lives, there will also be a nursing home outside the gate every night. Everything is to ensure the safety of Xia Muyao and her two children.

In Huerhe, who was in front, after receiving Xia Muyao's letter, he was relieved.

There has been a truce for many days ahead, and in winter, materials are more scarce than usual, and the military camp in Beihu has gone to the mountains to hunt from time to time to improve food.

Zhao Yuanting hung out the banner of truce and concentrated on cleaning up his grievances with the Dakang New Army.

Dakang's defeat and retreat will be spread to the court every day, Zhang Yaxian is more anxious and collapsed day by day, Juyizhuang has no idea, the rivers and lakes are different from the rivers and mountains, and they only understand now.

"It's better for us to lower Zhao Yuanting, anyway, sooner or later he will kill back to the imperial city, he is a wolf, no one can stop him, I thought that when I became the emperor, I had everything, but now I know that the emperor is not everyone deserves it." Zhang Yaxian looked defeated and said to her brother.

Zhang Yaxian's brother also sighed, how could he not, how could Juyizhuang not be, thinking that if he could rule the rivers and lakes, he would rule the world, if they didn't have ambitions, when Zhang Yaxian came up with the idea of falsely spreading the news of Zhao Yuanting's death, they would stop her.

"Now that we are riding a tiger, even if we descend to Zhao Yuanting, do you think he will spare our lives? You, I, Juyizhuang, I'm afraid that even Yi'er won't be able to save his life. Zhang Yaxian's brother's eyes were full of coldness.
