It was evening and the wind was calm and the rain was light. Under the eaves of the Princess Mansion, the subtle sound of water droplets splashing on the stone slabs still echoed from time to time.
Liu Mingzhi quietly looked at the charming beauty who was sleeping soundly with the lingering charm still lingering on her pretty face. He gently opened the silk quilt and got out of the bed.
After a cup of tea, Young Master Liu, who was neatly dressed, sat on the edge of the Yuanyang couch again and gently pushed the beautiful woman's fragrant shoulders, which were as smooth as cream.
“Jie’er?”
“Jie’er?”
“Huh? What’s wrong?”
Chen Jie responded lazily with a charming voice, and her watery phoenix eyes, which were still a little blurred, looked at Mr. Liu who was sitting next to him, half asleep and half awake.
“Husband, are you going back?”
"Yes, we have to go back. Yun'er and the others are still at home waiting for news about her husband. He has to go back and tell them the good news that Shu'er, mother and son are safe, so that they can feel at ease.
In the past, I just stayed with my husband, but today it is really inconvenient.
If my husband doesn't go back and inform them, they won't know what to think about. In order to make them feel at ease, I have to wrong you."
Chén Jie's pretty face nodded lazily, grabbed Mr. Liu's palm and rubbed it silently on her cheek for a moment, then she retreated directly into the warm bed with her half-exposed body.
"Don't forget to bring your umbrella. I'm tired, so I went to bed first."
Young Master Liu leaned over and kissed Chen Jie gently on the forehead, then carefully tucked the beauty into her bed.
“Then you have a good rest and your husband will go back first.”
“Hmm. Walk quickly on the road, don’t get caught in the rain and get cold.”
“Okay, I understand, let’s rest.”
Liu Mingzhi moved slowly and gently towards the back, took down the oil-paper umbrella hanging on the wall and walked towards the door with light steps.
Looking back at Chen Jie who was huddled in the brocade quilt for a while and breathing evenly, Young Master Liu put the oil-paper umbrella under his arm and gently opened the door and walked out.
Smoothly closing the door, Young Master Liu looked at the sky where the drizzle was still falling, held up an oil paper umbrella and walked silently into the misty rain.
Due to the rainy weather, the lights on the streets seemed to be lit up a little earlier than usual.
After taking a look at the pedestrians passing by holding oil-paper umbrellas on the street, Mr. Liu smiled cheerfully, raised his oil-paper umbrella, and quietly merged into the crowd.
“Master, you are back. How is Mrs. He Shu doing?”
“It’s very good. Mother and son are safe. You ask the maids to inform Sister Ya and the other sisters to wait in the main hall. Master, I will go to the young lady’s place to change into clean clothes first.”
“Yes, the little one will come over right away.”
Half a stick of incense has passed.
“Husband, you are back. How is Sister Shuer doing? Son or daughter?”
“Husband, are you polite? Is Sister Shu’er okay?”
“Husband, why haven’t you come back until now? Nothing happened to Sister Shuer, right?”
“Husband…”
…
As soon as Young Master Liu and Qi Yun entered the main hall, a large group of beauties gathered in front of Young Master Liu and started asking questions.
“Stop, stop, stop, everyone, stop and listen to my husband.”
Qi Yun also hurriedly raised her arms and waved a few times: "Sisters, don't be anxious, calm down and listen to your husband."
Young Master Liu picked up the tea that his servants had prepared and took a sip to moisten his throat. He looked at the expectant eyes of all the beauties and suddenly grinned.
“Mother and child are safe.”
All the beauties were startled for a moment, and then they all looked at Young Master Liu with happy faces and asked in unison: "Is the child born a son? And the mother and child are safe?"
“Yes, it’s a son. May the mother and son be safe.”
“Really? Are you sure?”
“Of course I’m sure, why would I lie to you about something like this?”
All the beauties smiled faintly and exhaled a long breath. Seeing the cheerful Young Master Liu, they shook their arms in unison, turned around and walked towards the outside of the main hall with their plump and voluptuous bodies.
“Hey, hey? Why are you all gone? My husband hasn’t told you the specific situation yet.”
“As long as everyone is safe and sound, who wants to hear you nagging about the specific situation?”
“That’s right, which one of my sisters has never given birth to a child, what can I say?”
"I've been waiting uneasily for a long time. I'm already exhausted physically and mentally. It's enough to know that Sister Shu'er is fine. Let's go back and rest first."
“Smelly husband, you should go and take a shower early. Even if you change into a clean robe, it can’t stop the smell of bad things done to you.”
“I feel restless after waiting for so long, and I’m tired, so I’ll go back first.”
After a while, only Liu Dashao, Qi Yun and his wife were left in the main hall of Nuo University.
“Yun’er, sister Ya, are you going a little too far? You should wait until your husband finishes talking!”
Qi Yun glanced at her husband with a troubled expression, leaned in front of Young Master Liu, twitched her nose and sniffed vigorously.
"Well! It does smell like you have done something bad. Just go and do whatever you need to do, and I will go back and rest."
After Qi Yun left lazily, Young Master Liu immediately lowered his head and sniffed vigorously on his body, which seemed to be the smell of malaise after love.
After He Shu gave birth and the mother and child were safe, Liu Dashao's leisurely life was back on track again.
On May 28, the sixth year of Dalong’s reign, a group of thousands of chariots were racing rapidly from north to south in the boundless wilderness.
In the wilderness dozens of miles to the south of the car, dozens of dragon cavalry galloping across the wilderness carrying the dragon flag on their backs gradually tightened their reins and controlled the horses' speed to gradually slow down.
“Hurry!”
“Hurry!”
“Hurry!”
Dozens of war horses raised their strong front legs high, neighed a few times, and gradually stopped on the endless wilderness, pawing their hooves.
Dozens of scouts and soldiers on war horses carrying the dragon flag on their backs took a deep breath and looked at the endless green miles away with stunned expressions.
“Old…Old Su, are we going the wrong way? I vaguely remember that when we passed by here the year before last, it didn’t look like this.”
“Hey, I remember it’s not like this here, Lao Yu, are we really going the wrong way?
That shouldn’t be the case. We followed the compass and map along the way, so we shouldn’t have gone the wrong way!
Besides, the terrain here looks so familiar, I can confirm that we walked here indeed the year before last, but why did the front look like this?"
“Come here, get the map and compass.”
“General Su, General Yu, the map and the compass are here.”
Around the time of tea, the two captains and generals gathered together, each holding a map and compass, and carefully compared the appearance of the surrounding terrain.
“The direction is correct and the route is not wrong. We did pass by here the year before last. There will be a slight deviation, but it will definitely not be too big.”
“Here comes, my general’s telescope.”
"yes."
“Bring me the general’s telescope as well.”
"yes."
After the two lieutenants and generals took the telescope, they got on their horses and straightened up and scanned the surrounding area with the telescope.
