The soldiers returned home in triumph, and everyone was waiting for the celebration banquet. As a result, it was such a joyous occasion to catch up with the princess and her son.
Yes, Your Majesty! That’s right! The imperial doctor diagnosed it early!
The birth of a princess is certainly a happy event, but in everyone's hearts there is no joy in having a heir apparent. His Royal Highness has been married for four years without a child, so one can imagine the importance of the princess's pregnancy!
While everyone was sitting in the front hall having tea and talking, Du Changshi looked at the sun getting higher outside and felt a little hungry. He was thinking about whether to invite His Highness to come over for a banquet. It would be better to make the soldiers hungry. But His Highness looked at it.
She was nervously waiting for the princess to give birth. She was afraid that she might not be able to invite her, so she decided to have a banquet first.
Tang Mo volunteered to go ahead and help inquire, but Marquis Lu said, "Don't be clumsy and rude to His Highness."
"Don't worry, father-in-law, I'm just going to the hospital to take a look. I'm also very anxious. The third brother has been married for several years, and the third sister-in-law is having her first child. I'm going to see how the situation is." Tang Mo Diandian said.
Just went.
There was a hint of gossip in General Ji's eyes, "I heard from my mother-in-law that she is pregnant with twins."
Xu Sima immediately leaned forward, "Really? This is really impressive! Oh my, twins are not common." He said in his heart, no wonder His Highness was so nervous waiting for the princess to give birth.
Du Changshi also became interested and waved his folding fan in an elegant manner, "It's strange to say that our Highness and the Empress are so loving. Ever since they got married, Your Highness has always been in love with each other. But after three or four years of marriage, a little bit has changed."
There was no movement at all. On the night when she came to Xinyi, the empress suddenly had an auspicious dream. She dreamed of a unicorn coming from the clouds and wading into the water, and suddenly bumped into the empress's arms. Two months later, the empress became pregnant.
.”
"I also heard my wife say it." General Li said, "Menglin has always been a good omen among good omens. This shows that our prince will definitely do something in the future." Although the royal family often engages in feudal superstitions, and fetal dreams are not uncommon, Li
The general is thoughtful, but now that His Highness is in Northern Xinjiang, it is almost October. This woman is pregnant, and it will take two months to be diagnosed. The princess had this auspicious dream as soon as she came to Northern Xinjiang.
, it can be seen that this dream is really my own, not man-made.
General Li couldn't help but feel more auspicious. Not only was this dream an excellent omen, but the day the princess gave birth was also unusual. She had to give birth to the crown prince a day earlier in the evil moon. Moreover, today was the time for the army to return home in triumph.
It was a double happiness. General Li was just thinking about a series of feudal superstitions when he heard Hua Changshi say, "Lord Bai said that the feng shui of Northern Xinjiang is extremely prosperous, His Highness's."
"I think so." General Ji said carelessly, "The Sudimir tribe has always been arrogant. When His Highness came, he immediately suppressed the rebellion."
It turns out that everyone wanted to send troops, but the court refused to allow it. Previously, I thought that the arrival of the Northern Xinjiang vassal king would restrict everything, but I didn't expect that His Highness the Prince was such a considerate person. Regardless of personal affairs, from the public point of view, General Ji
I also quite like His Highness the Prince’s temperament.
If you're not submissive, beat him up.
This is so refreshing!
It's nothing like before, when so many things were reported, the imperial court became nervous when it came to the idea of a large army to counter the rebellion, and the bosses came out with all kinds of polite words, saying that they were all opposed to going to war, and it was almost a shame to face each other.
Unlike now, I can be beaten as soon as I say it, which is such a joy!
The only thing that was a little unpleasant was that he was not the one who led the troops on the expedition, and what was even more depressing was that the Marquis did not send him to receive the five thousand soldiers sent by the imperial court, but instead sent Lao Qin's army. Ji
The general scratched his heart and liver with greed.
At this time, General Ji said something else, "Speaking of which, before my mother gave birth to me, she also had a pregnancy dream, but it was not as auspicious as my mother's dream. My mother dreamed that a big blue stone fell at home, and the next day she would die.
After giving birth to me, my old Ji is now strong enough to withstand cuts and wear."
General Ji's words made everyone laugh. Du Changshi raised his folding fan and said, "General Ji, let me give you a guess. Do you know what kind of fetal dream Prime Minister Pei had before Lord Pei was born?"
General Ji rolled his eyes, thinking that he was not familiar with Pei Zhuangyuan, but if Du Changshi had no clue, the mystery would not be fun. Suddenly his heart moved, General Ji said, "I heard that Pei Zhuangyuan's name is like
Jade, like jade, like jade, I think I dreamed of a piece of beautiful jade.”
"Exactly. I heard that Prime Minister Pei dreamed of a flawless jade, and then he had an eldest grandson. Prime Minister Pei felt it was auspicious, so he named Pei Zhuangyuan accordingly. As expected, Pei Zhuangyuan is a three-yuan talent." Talking about the anecdotes in the imperial capital, Du Changshi said.
talk.
General Ji asked, "Mr. Du, you are also a talented person in civil and military affairs. With your talent, has your family ever had any auspicious dreams about having a baby?"
"It's okay not to mention it." Du Changshi didn't want to mention it.
"Is there anything that can't be said? There are no outsiders here. My mother dreamed of a big rock. Why are you so embarrassed?"
General Ji asked enthusiastically, and Du Changshi covered his face with a fan, "It's not that I'm ashamed, but I'm ashamed to say that my father once dreamed of an ink pen."
"This is the most auspicious dream for you scholars, why don't you want to say it again?" General Ji simply couldn't understand the thoughts of the scholars.
Du Changshi pulled down his fan depressedly, "I originally thought that I could win the first prize, but in the end I only won the first prize. What else is there to say? It seems that my father did not dream well. He wanted to dream
Wen Quxing, I guess I am the number one scholar." Du Changshi turned the topic to Chen Jian and asked him, "Xiao Chen, did your family have any fetal dreams before you were born?"
Chen Jian shook his head, "No. However, an ancient pine tree at home died for no reason. The year I was born, it sprouted new buds. My family felt very lucky."
Everyone was just trying to find out if there was any good luck in the family before Marquis Lu was born, when they saw an attendant coming in and saying, "Du Changshi, Qin's consort Yao and General Qin have returned and have dismounted in front of the palace."
Du Changshi stood up and said, "Old Hua, please accompany Lu Hou to talk to some generals. I think General Qin has obtained five thousand new soldiers. I will go to greet the two consorts and General Qin."
General Ji was envious at the thought of the new recruit, and he followed Du Changshi directly, "I'll go with you."
The Qin court officials and Yao Xu both had a tired look on their faces, while General Qin was dressed in new black armor, walking like a dragon and walking like a tiger, looking majestic and indescribably proud of the spring breeze.
When General Ji saw him from a distance, he rolled his eyes three times. Du Changshi stepped forward with a smile, clasped his fists and bowed, "Chang Shi Du Feng has met Qin's consort Yao, the two consorts came all the way. Thank you for your hard work." He said to General Qin again.
Say hello, "Just looking at the general's demeanor, you can tell that this journey has been extremely smooth."
Yao Xu of the Qin court asked Du Changshi not to be too polite. General Ji teased General Qin, "I'll put on the armor I just got."
General Qin patted his armor and smiled brighter than the sun above his head, "The court's grace, how can I do it without wearing it? All the five thousand soldiers under my command have new armor!"
Du Changshi smiled and said, "Let's go to the Yin'an Palace to talk. Marquis Lu and the others are also here. By coincidence, General Li has made a triumphant return today, and the two princes-in-law have also arrived. What a blessing."
Qin Ting has always been taciturn. Yao Xu knew Du Changshi, and he was not an outsider to General Ji. General Ji was Yao Xu's uncle. Yao Xu said, "What's another happy thing?"
Du Changshi's eyebrows curved, "The princess is happy to have a son."
Qin Ting and Yao Xu were overjoyed. General Qin clapped his hands and said, "Isn't it true? Counting the days before and after, the empress has given birth to our heir apparent?" This question was asked to General Ji.
General Ji said, "The birth is happening. We are all waiting in the front hall. It should be soon."
Everyone felt happy and hurried to the front hall to see Lu Hou and others. Naturally, they greeted each other again. Du Changshi explained for His Highness, "His Highness is eager to hold the crown prince and is waiting in the courtyard."
Yao Xu nodded, "I understand, I understand." When he went out, his wife was also pregnant. Yao Xu was actually worried about her, but considering the days to go back and forth, he couldn't miss his wife's delivery.
After the refreshments were served, everyone's conversation naturally turned to the imperial capital. Du Changshi sent someone to deliver a message to Tang Hai. Now that the two consorts are here with General Qin, there will be a few more seats at the celebration banquet. Fortunately, in the palace
When preparing a banquet, there should always be a few extra seats. You don’t have to worry about not having enough seats. It’s just that the seating arrangements have to be rearranged.
We hadn't chatted for too long when Tang Mo ran in with a happy face and announced the good news in a loud voice without anyone asking, "I was just in time to catch up with my third sister-in-law, she gave birth! Two sons!"
There was a sound of joy in the room immediately, and within a short time, Mu Anzhi's laughter was heard from far away, and the big furniture came out to greet him. Mu Anzhi smiled so hard that he couldn't see his teeth, and he was as happy as the sticker on the wall when he was newlyweds.
The words "Double Happiness" were written in red, and his face was shining brightly, "Ah Mo, this quick-legged man, must have told you that the princess and the children are safe. Li Qing is back, and today is a double happiness." Mu Anzhi was about to go over and pat General Li.
Looking over his shoulder, he asked him about the war in Sudmir. He suddenly saw Qin Ting Yao Xu. He paused and turned his eyes to General Qin, who was wearing new armor. He smiled and said, "Not only double happiness, but also triple happiness. The two brothers-in-law are also here."
.”
The two brothers-in-law had met their brother-in-law, and Mu Anzhi was very pleased with Qin Ting and Yao Xu. He had never been a person who was willing to give in to others, and his expression showed a closeness. The brother-in-law and brother-in-law had spoken before, and Mu Anzhi asked General Qin, "Is this a good journey?"
smoothly."
General Qin said, "Everything went smoothly. As soon as we arrived at Yumen Pass, I ordered the soldiers to remove their old armor and replace it with new armor. They also asked them to carry the old armor with them. In this way, each person only had one more set of armor per ride to transport troops.
A's carriage and horses were left at Yumenguan Station, and we rode back to the city. There were a few grass bandits on the road, so we just avoided them from a distance. When we got close, we killed them easily. We also met Lord Tang and his party on the road.
Your Excellency said that we will be back in another month. Mr. Hu borrowed two thousand soldiers and horses from me. The weather is getting warmer and there are more merchants coming and going. Mr. Hu said that although many merchants are traveling in groups, they are businessmen after all. We sent
Some people protected them to the market, so I decided to give it to Mr. Hu."
Mu Anzhi nodded while listening, "This is my negligence. When An Li comes back, I will send someone to replace your troops."
"They are not all Your Highness's troops. Your Highness will arrange them. If Your Highness thinks they are suitable, there is no harm in letting them serve under Master Hu." General Qin got the new soldier armor and spoke very cheerfully.
Mu An said, "You will be more familiar with your soldiers, and you will be more comfortable in commanding future battles. I am sending you out this time because I want you to be in Xinyi for a long time and not be able to relax. If you go out for a run, you will have to get used to the war."
General Qin grinned, "Yes."
General Ji said anxiously, "Your Highness, if something like this happens again, please send your ministers to go out for a run and stretch themselves."
"What's the hurry? I want to discuss your matter with Marquis Lu. I'll send you an envoy in a few days." Mu Anzhi got two sons and caught up with General Li who had returned from victory. General Qin's men changed their armor and met each other.
I am in high spirits when happy events occur, and I also feel particularly cheerful when talking.
Pei Ruyu saw that Mu Anzhi was speaking without a gatekeeper. She happened to see Tang Hai come in and immediately said, "Your Highness, the celebration banquet for General Li and the reception banquet for the two consorts have been arranged. Let's take a seat first."
"Yes, yes, look at this king, there are so many happy events. I was so happy that I couldn't finish talking about them, and almost forgot to eat." Mu Anzhi smiled very sarcastically, "But having said that, if it happens every day
There are so many happy events that even if you don’t eat, you won’t feel hungry.”
In fact, what Mu Anzhi wants to say is that if you can have two sons every day, you don't have to eat.
Everyone was chatting and laughing as they went to eat, but the two consorts Qin and Yao were thinking a lot in their hearts. They secretly thought that based on the tone of His Highness the Third Prince, Sudimir was not the only one who feared that there would be a war in Northern Xinjiang in the future.
