The father reassured her that it didn't matter if she gave birth to a daughter, that she could have another child in the future, and she calmly told her father that she had lost the right to be a mother again. At that moment, she saw shock and disappointment in her father's eyes. Although it was only for a moment, she captured it.

Since then, Xiao has lived in the back house of the Taishou Mansion in Ding'an City, but her father has never visited her again. She had expected this result a long time ago, not after she gave birth to a daughter, but as early as when she married into the Jin Palace. She knew that she was just a pawn of the Xiao family, and now it was time to be discarded.

Sometimes she even wondered if her father had known about this when he first found her, would he have left her in that small village and left her mother and daughter to fend for themselves.

"Lord Wang......" The voice of the subordinate outside interrupted Xiao's thoughts.

As soon as I looked up, I saw the man who was still tall and handsome entering the house.

Xiao handed over the baby in his hand to the nurse beside him, and helped Zhong Hanchi get rid of the big drums on his body: "Why is the prince free?" ”

"This king has come to see Mi'er." Zhong Hanchi took her daughter from the nurse's arms, and the nurse hurriedly retreated.

Mi, calm and peaceful. This is the name that Xiao chose for his daughter, hoping that she can live this life peacefully. Zhong Hanchi didn't have any opinion on this, and he didn't name the child separately. Therefore, Zhong Mi'er became the name of the girl.

Since the mother and daughter arrived in Ding'an City, Zhong Hanchi has not been here a few times, and Xiao Mi'er is a little unfamiliar with this father, babbling and opening her hand to her mother.

"Mi'er, let my father take a good look." Zhong Hanchi forcibly turned the villain around to face him, "Father is going to leave for a while, Mi'er has to wait for his father to come back." ”

Xiao Shi was stunned when he heard this, where would the six-month-old little doll understand this, could it be that he wanted to tell himself?

Xiao Mi'er naturally couldn't understand what her father was saying, and struggled to no avail, so she stuffed her little fist into her mouth and gnawed, saliva flowed out of her pink mouth and dripped onto Zhong Hanchi's shoulder, imprinting a small piece of water stains on the royal blue dark pattern brocade robe.

"It's better to hug the concubine, don't stain the prince's clothes." Xiao Shi hurriedly hugged the little girl over and gently wiped the corners of her lips with a handkerchief.

"It doesn't matter." Zhong Hanchi didn't care and rubbed his hand on the darkened part of his shoulder, "You...... Great work. ”

Xiao's eyes widened suddenly, and his lips trembled: "Lord Wang...... The concubine is not hard. ”

"Rest assured to live here, Ding'an City is very safe." Zhong Hanchi didn't wait for Xiao's answer, took his big coat from the hanger, draped it on his body and turned to leave.

Xiao Shi looked at the familiar and unfamiliar back, and the tears accumulated in his eyes finally flowed uncontrollably. Once upon a time, I had high hopes for this man and wanted to join hands with him. Once upon a time, I was so disappointed in him that I felt that falling in love with him was the biggest catastrophe in my life.

She loved and hated, and finally chose to face him calmly, without love or hate, and her heart was like water. Hearing the news of his defeat and disappearance, her heart was not sad. Seeing him safe and sound again, her heart was not happy. Even when he saw Helian Rumei coming out of the courtyard where he lived with a red tide on his face, he had no resentment.

She thought that she had really achieved no love and no hate, but the man's "hard work" just now woke her up from the endless abyss again.

This man is her calamity, a calamity that she can't get over in this life. Just because of his eyes and words, she can make her calm heart ripple again.

Xiao was stunned, unconscious of her daughter writhing in her arms. It wasn't until the nurse came in and called "Princess" a few times that she woke up from her own world, and then she realized that she had burst into tears at some point.

……

In previous years, the Spring Festival did not end until after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, but this year is different. The news that the Jin king's army had occupied a number of cities on the northwest border went away, and the entire capital learned the news almost overnight, and the imperial court couldn't cover it even if they wanted to.

The original festive and lively atmosphere was washed away by rumors, and it was rumored that the king of Jin would soon return to the capital, and the imperial court was already empty of the treasury due to years of war, and it was powerless to fight at all.

At the beginning of the first month, Bahua Feiyang led 100,000 soldiers and horses of the western battalion to Tianshui, but the army of the king of Jin had already retreated to Jingyang, and Tianshui had become an empty city, but it was also a ruined city. Jingyang City is a border fortress, which can be attacked and retreated, and the army of the King of Jin is entrenched in it, and there is a posture of a protracted war with Hua Feiyang.

At the same time, another army began to advance from the west, and the soldiers and horses of the western battalion had been transferred to the northwest and were pinned down in Jingyang City, so the army of the king of Jin occupied the Xilong Road in the west of the Great Zhou like a broken bamboo. and the Northwest Road army stationed in Jingyang at an angle, besieging the soldiers and horses of the West Battalion.

At this time, the emperor understood why Murong and his son did not advocate transferring Hua Feiyang to the northwest, but it was too late to regret it at this time, and in order to preserve his strength, he could only order Hua Feiyang to retreat to Longyan Pass, the last barrier on the west road.

The army of the King of Jin was not in a hurry to continue to advance, but swept through the surrounding small cities, and occupied a corner of the Great Zhou territory from west to northwest before the first month.

The imperial court mobilized 100,000 troops to rush to the front, and the army of the king of Jin stabilized the occupied city, and the two sides formed a confrontation.

After being urgently summoned to the palace on the second day of the Lunar New Year, Murong Chu began to go out early and return late. Mo Li continued to live a simple life. Out of the first month, her belly has begun to show her pregnancy, the adverse pregnancy symptoms have long disappeared, and the person has gradually plumped.

Yu Mingxi, who had not been back in the capital for a long time, finally appeared, returning to Huaiqing last summer due to his father's serious illness, and stayed there until his death. When the contradictions within the family were calmed down and the property left by the old man Yu was fully taken over, it was almost the New Year.

Hearing that the King of Jin raised troops, Yu Mingxi was worried that the situation in the capital would change, and the new head of the Yu family, the big proprietor of the Zhen Dart Bureau, hurried to the capital after arranging the affairs of Huaiqing.

Sitting in the private room of Quanwei Building, Yu Mingxi looked up and down at Mo Li, who was dressed in a lilac cloud brocade jacket. Although the four-month-old belly was not obvious under the cover of the long coat, his acuity still saw some clues.

"Moxi, you...... Pregnant? ”

Mo Li's hand touched his lower abdomen and raised his eyebrows: "Is it so obvious?" ”

"You're fat, and this waist is ...... It's not as ...... as before," Yu Mingxi's gaze fell on the hand she placed on her lower abdomen, and her mood was a little complicated. While feeling happy for Mo Li, he also had some loss and sadness.

"Well, that's right. How can a merry boy who has lived in a thousand flowers not see if a woman is pregnant! Mo Li said with a smile, "What's more, I've been here for more than four months." ”

"You can't talk nonsense, who has passed through the flowers!" Yu Mingxi unnaturally turned his head.
