Chapter 1439 Li Wan: If you want a child, you can have one yourself...

Grand View Garden, Xiaoxiang Pavilion

Just as Chai and Dai were chatting and laughing, Xiangyun's voice came from the eaves of the outer corridor, "Sister Lin, what were you talking about with Sister Bao? You look so happy?"

Baochai looked at the two little fat girls who came in from the outside, chuckled, and said, "Sister Yun, Sister Baoqin, you are here."

Daiyu also smiled, her eyes sparkling like rainbows under her dark eyebrows, and she said, "Sister Yun, Sister Baoqin, you are here?"

Xiangyun's round, rosy face was full of smiles, and she whispered, "Sister Bao, I just heard from Mammy that Brother Heng won the war in Liaodong."

Baochai's beautiful eyebrows were as beautiful as green feathers, and her eyes were as clear as water. She said, "Sister Yun, have you also heard the news from outside?"

"It's rumored outside that Brother Heng has pacified the Jurchens and will be back soon." A bright smile appeared on Xiangyun's round, rosy face, and her big, lively eyes were filled with unspeakable joy.

Baochai looked at Xiangyun with eyes as bright as water and said softly, "We have defeated the Jurchens, but I don't know if we can return before the end of the year."

Daiyu's eyes sparkled under her slender eyebrows. She pursed her pink lips and said softly, "After this battle, there shouldn't be any major wars."

Xiangyun frowned, looked at Baochai, and said, "Sister Bao, after Brother Heng came back this time, he should have been promoted to a noble, right?"

Brother Heng agreed to her marriage, but he hasn't given her a promise yet.

Sister Baoqin said that for a girl like her who comes from a noble family, the ancestors would not agree to let her be a concubine.

Baoqin sat down. Under her emerald eyebrows, which were almost the same size as Baochai's, her watery almond eyes also showed a hint of curiosity.

Daiyu said, "He should be made a prince. After all, he has made such a great contribution, so his title should be raised."

Baochai smiled and nodded slightly.

The beautiful woman's heart was still filled with a faint joy.

Xiangyun held her round and smooth chin with one hand, her big, lively eyes flickering as she said in a clear voice, "Now that he has been conferred the title of a prince, then Brother Heng will be a prince in the future?"

Baochai's moist almond eyes were filled with inexplicable meaning under her emerald eyebrows. She said, "You haven't been conferred a title yet. It's not a good idea to talk about this now."

It's too early to be happy about some things.

Xiangyun hummed, and her heart was suddenly filled with a trace of longing.

Baoqin took over the conversation and asked softly, "Brother Heng can't come back before the New Year?"

Baochai said, "We have won the battle, but there are still a lot of things to do. I don't think we can come back."

Baoqin's rosy face seemed to be covered with a layer of rouge. She said, "It's been more than half a year."

Baochai looked at Baoqin intently, and thought for a moment. She decided that when he came back, she would have to find a time to arrange Baoqin's marriage.

There were four concubines in total, including her, Lin Daiyu, Song Yan from the Song family, and one more, Baoqin, who was given the title of concubine.

No matter how poor she is, a lady of honor who enters the palace earlier still has a much better status than one who enters the palace later.

Daiyu looked surprised and asked, "Why haven't I seen Third Sister these days?"

Xiangyun took a bite of an apple and said, "Third sister has been at Qichiyuan for a while. I wonder what she is talking about military and national affairs. Sister Baoqin and I don't understand much."

Daiyu couldn't help laughing, and Baochai also smiled softly.

Grand View Garden, Qichiyuan

At this moment, in the spacious and elegant hall, Zhen Lan and Zhen Xi were chatting with Tanchun, and not far away, Yaruo was playing chess with Zhen Xi.

Because Zhen Lan often sent people to buy court bulletins and inquire about the news from the court, she learned the news of Jia Heng's victory earlier.

Under Zhen Lan's narrow and long eyebrows, the narrow and long phoenix eyes that resembled the Chu Princess Zhen Qing flashed with brilliance, and she said softly: "Brother Heng's victory will make Liaodong no longer a threat to the Han Dynasty."

Tanchun's eyes flashed fiercely under her beautiful eyebrows, and she said softly, "Yes, once Liaodong is pacified, the world will no longer be troubled by invaders."

Zhen Lan's eyebrows were trimmed, her eyes were bright and charming, and she said softly: "It's still a long way to go before the world is at peace. The Dzungars in the northwest and the Khoshuts in Tibet are still causing trouble and need to be pacified in the future."

In the 19th year of Chongping, the Han court's campaign against Liao was accomplished under the harassment of the Mongolian Tartars in the northwest and Tibet.

The strategies adopted in the two places are mainly "denial" and prevention of interference and intervention.

Tanchun pursed her soft pink lips and said softly, "I may not need Brother Heng anymore by then."

Generally speaking, in order to balance the power of the nobles, the imperial court of a dynasty will not let one military general take all the credit to avoid him becoming the sole ruler.

Zhen Lan also nodded and said, "Third sister is right. When it comes to Brother Heng's situation, it's time to consider retreating and saving himself."

Or go a step further and meet the challenge head on.

Tanchun hummed softly, and said with a gloomy look, "Some time ago, the rumors in the streets and alleys of Beijing were quite shocking."

This is a reiteration of the previous prophecy.

Zhen Landai's clear eyes looked sharp under her thin eyebrows. She said softly, "When you are in a high position, this kind of thing is inevitable. The wind is high and the waves are rough, but it has calmed down recently. Now we are looking for people, but now..."

As the saying goes, when the cunning rabbit dies, the hunting dog is cooked; when the birds are all gone, the good bows are put away.

Now that the most troublesome Jurchens of the Han Dynasty have been conquered, it doesn't matter if ordinary soldiers are sent to conquer the remaining Mongols in the northwest and Tibet.

Besides, it is even questionable whether troops would be sent to conquer such a barren land.

Tanchun's eyes showed a thoughtful look under her beautiful eyebrows, and she said softly, "I just don't know how Brother Heng will deal with it?"

Upon hearing this, Zhen Lan said softly, "He is very intelligent, so he should have a way."

She saw that Brother Heng was still somewhat loyal to the court, but such suspicions were often endless.

Brother Heng is only twenty years old. Unless he spends the next few decades in retirement at home, he will spend the ups and downs of suspicion and promotion.

As the saying goes, your life is in the hands of others and you have no control over it.

Zhen Xi picked up a blue and white porcelain teacup, took a sip of tea, and listened to the two people talking, with a look of infatuation in his eyes.

This is what a love-brained girl is like.

Tanchun said, "Let's not talk about this anymore. After winning the battle this time, Brother Heng should be back soon."

Zhen Lan said, "Don't even think about it before the New Year. There are still a lot of things to deal with later."

Tanchun's innocent and heroic face showed some thought as she said, "This achievement should be enough to make him a prince."

Zhen Lan nodded and said, "He must have been given the title of a prince, but I don't know what the title is."

Brother Heng has been awarded the title of Prince this time for his meritorious service, so he should have a place among the four concubines.

Thinking of this, Zhen Lan's breathing quickened and a surge of excitement surged in her heart.

She will support Brother Heng and help him reach the supreme position step by step in the future.

While the two were discussing, Yaruo was not far away, holding her cheek with her small hand, her cute and innocent face full of longing.

Zhen Xi wasn't in a much better condition at the moment, her eyes, which were as smart as a stream, seemed to contain a foolish look.

Brother Heng is coming back.

Grand View Garden, Cuicui Temple

In the side room, Miaoyu sat on a soft couch covered with a bamboo mat. She was wearing a loose plain skirt. Her belly was bulging like a ball. Her originally cold and quiet face had now become round, smooth, and rosy, with a touch of the gentleness and tranquility of a wife.

Xing Xiuyan was holding Miaoyu's daughter Momo in her arms. The little girl's face was rosy and she said softly, "Mother, are you going to give birth to a younger brother?"

Miaoyu looked at Jia Mo with a look of both doting and love from under her curved eyebrows, and said softly, "This child is not young, but he is really clever and eccentric."

Xing Xiuyan couldn't help but laugh a little, and said softly: "Yes, just like her father, resourceful and resourceful."

Miaoyu couldn't help showing a look of disappointment on her face, and said, "Such a long time has passed, and I still haven't heard any news from him."

Xing Xiuyan gently squeezed the little girl's hand and said softly, "There has been no news in the court newspaper since the fall of Jinzhou City."

Miaoyu nodded her head, and there was a hint of thought in her eyes beneath her beautiful dark eyebrows.

At this moment, Miaoyu's maid Susu came over from outside, with a look of joy on her face, and said softly, "Miss, people outside are saying that Master Heng won a victory outside."

Miaoxiu and the other person in Longcui Temple were stunned when they heard this, and then they were stunned for a moment.

Miaoyu raised her willow-leaf eyebrows, looked at the maid expectantly, and asked, "What are people saying outside?"

Su Su's face was filled with joy, and she said in an inexplicably happy tone, "People outside are saying that Master has conquered Liaodong, and his contribution in this battle is so great that he can be made a prince."

When Miaoyu heard this, her beautiful face, as pure as frost, was filled with joy, and her heart was moved slightly.

At this moment, Xing Xiuyan's beautiful face also showed some emotion, with eyes and eyebrows as calm as the clouds, and she said softly: "I thought we would win before the end of the year, but I didn't expect it to be so soon."

"Daddy won a great victory." Jia Mo, who was in Xing Xiuyan's arms, stretched out two chubby and soft little hands. Her voice was soft and gentle, full of the joy of a young child.

Miaoyu's expression paused slightly, her eyes were like dew, she looked at Susu curiously and asked, "Now that you have won the battle, did you say when you will be back?"

Su Su said: "This is not discussed outside."

Miaoyu responded softly, and a thoughtful look appeared on her flawless face.

Xing Xiuyan paused for a moment and said softly, "It can't be that fast. After the war, there are still many things to do."

Miaoyu nodded, and her sparkling eyes showed a thoughtful look under her willow-shaped eyebrows. She said, "After this time, there shouldn't be many wars in the north. Even if there are, he probably won't be allowed to lead the troops to fight."

Xing Xiuyan responded softly, "After I come back, I should be able to spend more time with my family."

Miaoyu's fair face was covered with a layer of rosy red, and she said softly: "You can't stay at home all the time, so as not to linger on the perfume and fragrance of cosmetics."

How could he stay in the garden and indulge in women? She was really afraid that he would die in a woman's belly one day.

Xing Xiuyan's frosty face blushed as she said softly, "That's true."

She can be considered one of those women who are all very pretty and sexy.

Just as Xing Xiuyan was lost in her thoughts, Miaoyu, with her willow-shaped eyebrows and a bright gaze, said, "Wait until he comes back. This time I should be able to take you in."

Xing Xiuyan cried out, her pretty face flushed, and she stammered, "This... I don't know yet."

"By that time, he will be a prince, and after you marry him, you will be a lady of honor." Miaoyu said jokingly with a smile on her face.

Xing Xiuyan's eyes, which seemed to be as beautiful as the clouds, were covered with shame, and she said softly, "I haven't thought about it."

"Mother, what is a lady of imperial title?" Jia Mo, who was in Xing Xiuyan's arms, opened her rosy lips and asked in a soft voice.

Miaoyu's willow-leaf dark eyebrows, with eyes as clear as water, snorted and said, "You'll know when you grow up."

"Hmph, I want to be a royal lady in the future." The little girl's cute, soft and rosy face, and baby voice seemed to have an indescribable cuteness.

Xing Xiuyan said softly, "This child will have a bright future."

Miaoyu chuckled and said, "If you want to succeed, you still have to rely on men."

Xing Xiuyan couldn't help laughing when she heard this.

In other words, the once noble and aloof Master Miaoyu seemed to have gradually fallen into the mundane world after having two children.

Jia Mo snorted softly and made a face at his mother, but his clever and cute look made Miaoyu's heart melt.

……

……

Let’s not talk about the time when Miaoyu, Xing Xiuyun and the cute kid Jia Mo were joking and laughing in the Rongcui Temple.

In Daoxiang Village, not far from Longcui Temple, the courtyard where Li Wan lived——

Li Wan and Cao were also sitting on the couch by the window, talking in private.

As her pregnancy progressed, Li Wan had more and more difficulty moving and could only sit on the soft couch in the side room. Cao, Li Wen and Li Qi accompanied Li Wan in chatting.

Cao said softly, "If you don't have much appetite these days, you can eat more light food."

Li Wan responded softly, "When I was pregnant with Lan'er, I didn't vomit this badly. I don't know what happened."

Cao smiled and said, "This is his seed, how can it be the same? It will definitely take some effort."

When Li Wan heard this, a hint of shyness immediately appeared in her gentle eyes beneath her beautiful eyebrows.

This is not about planting or not planting, it's really embarrassing.

At this moment, a maid came quickly and said softly, "Second Madam Lian is here."

As the two people who were talking finished their words, they heard a string of silver bell-like laughter, saying: "I'm here to congratulate the princess of the county."

Sister Feng was always noisy. At this moment, she entered the room, looked at Li Wan and Cao, and said softly, "Greetings to the Princess of the County."

Cao looked at the beautiful Feng Jie, smiled jokingly, and said, "What kind of madness are you going through?"

Li Wan frowned her beautiful eyebrows, which were as soft as water, and looked at Fengjie with puzzled eyes, feeling inexplicably surprised.

Why did you suddenly become hysterical out of nowhere?

Sister Feng had that gorgeous oval face and that brilliant smile that was as bright as the clouds. She said in a charming voice, "Brother Heng won a great victory in Liaodong and annihilated the Jurchens. This time, he can be awarded the title of a prince. Then you will be the princess of a prince."

Li Wan was surprised when she heard this and asked, "Did Ziyu win the battle?"

Immediately, that gentle, peaceful face blushed as she spoke softly, "What kind of princess am I?"

"A mother is honored by her son." Feng Ji's eyebrows curved, and she smiled lightly. She stared at Li Wan's bulging belly, her eyes flashing with a hint of meaning.

Li Wan's gentle and lovely face was as hot as fire, just like the bright red apricots planted in Daoxiang Village.

This girl Feng was jealous of the fact that she was favored by the emperor and was pregnant with a child.

If you want a child, you can go and have one yourself. Why are you jealous of her?

Cao's beautiful face was filled with a smile at this moment, and she said softly, "It's really not easy to be awarded the title of a county prince."

When Master Heng becomes a prince, then wouldn't her daughters Wen'er and Qi'er be ladies of honor?

Thinking of this, he looked at Li Wen and Li Qi not far away.

At this moment, the two young girls, who had never left their boudoirs, had quiet and lovely faces that were flushed all the way down to their earlobes.

A feeling of shame and annoyance gradually welled up under those two beautiful curved eyebrows.

Sister Feng's eyes were as bright as water under her two curved eyebrows. She said softly, "Isn't that right? But Brother Heng is only twenty years old. Such a young prince is rare in the world."

It can be said that the hexagonal warrior fully meets all the requirements of older left-over women in later generations - the object of sexual fantasy.

Cao smiled and said, "That's right. This is different from the inheritance from ancestors. This is the foundation I created myself."

Li Wen and Li Qi sat not far away. The two little girls had blushing faces and a hint of longing in their eyes.

Brother Heng is truly one of a kind in the world.

Sister Feng smiled and said coquettishly, "Later the old lady will be busy asking me to invite a troupe to celebrate."

Li Wan nodded and said softly, "Such a big happy event should be celebrated. After the imperial edict comes down, we will also have to worship our ancestors."

Sister Feng responded softly, and beneath her drooping brows, her pair of phoenix eyes were filled with endless longing and friendship.

The bastard hadn’t given her the child he’d promised her.

In Rongqing Hall——

At this moment, Jia's mother also received the news of Jia Heng's great victory. At this moment, her old eyes looked at the maid like condensed dew, and said softly: "It is true that Heng'er has won a great victory."

The wrinkles on the nanny's face seemed to be about to smile, as if the chrysanthemums were blooming. She said, "Old lady, it is absolutely true. Listen, there are firecrackers outside now."

Aunt Xue, who was standing by, was almost grinning from ear to ear and could hardly control her expression.

Mrs. Wang was holding a string of sandalwood Buddhist beads in her hand, and her fair face was covered with a thick layer of haze.

Prince, it's really...

It can be said that Mrs. Wang no longer had any emotions in her heart at this moment, not even jealousy, because the gap was too big. At this moment, she only felt a deep sense of powerlessness.

Even if there were ten Baoyu, it would be difficult to achieve this.

Grandmother Jia smiled and said softly, "This should be celebrated properly."

Yuanyang, who was standing behind Lady Jia, gently pinched her shoulders, and her face, which had a few freckles, turned red with joy.

My lord has achieved a great victory in Liaodong. It won’t be long before he will be granted the title of Prince.

Mrs. Xing smiled and said, "Old lady, go and call Sister Feng to take care of it."

As Fengjie's nominal mother-in-law, Mrs. Xing naturally has the power to order Fengjie around.

Grandmother Jia smiled and waved her hand to stop Wang Shanbao, who was going to call Sister Feng, and said, "She has been busy these days, so don't let her be busy for now."

I guess he is helping to look after Langge's mother in Daoxiang Village right now.

Madam Xing's fair face was covered with a smile, and she said softly, "There's no rush."

When Master Heng comes back and is granted the title of Prince, he will marry Xiu Yan and she will become a royal lady.

Grandmother Jia nodded and said, "I wonder when the palace will give the reward?"

"I guess we have to wait until Hengge returns from Liaodong." Aunt Xue smiled and said softly.

When Heng Ge'er comes back, her daughter Bao will at least be a concubine.

This is half a grade higher than the wife of a first-rank duke, and is a super grade.

At that time, Pan'er could also benefit a lot.
