Chapter 424 Full Moon, Back to the Battlefield

"Little Yanqing and little Yanyu are so good-looking. They are definitely the most beautiful children I have ever seen."

"Isn't it? They are so fair and tender when they are born. When they grow up, they will probably charm many young men and women."

"Hahaha···"

Everyone was praising the two children, and bursting into laughter from time to time. After everyone had calmed down, Shen Xiangwan and his wife put them in the crib. The baby, who had just turned one month old, basically either ate or slept every day, and there was nothing to tease. Everyone's topic soon turned to Shen Xiangwan, and they were all concerned about her health.

"Wanwan, why are you still so thin?"

Seeing that she looked almost the same as before, neither thinner nor fatter, the female relatives were extremely envious.

"Maybe I'm just naturally beautiful?"

Raising her eyebrows, Shen Xiangwan curled the corners of her lips to tease them deliberately. In fact, she was not teasing them. She really didn't pay attention to the issue of weight, and her figure naturally returned to the way it was before she was pregnant.

“···”

Isn’t it so infuriating?

The young women were almost crying with anger and all looked angry.

"Today is my son's full moon day. Thank you all for coming to congratulate me. I'll drink first as a token of my respect!"

Before the meal started, Wei Chengyi took Shen Xiangwan's hand and stood up. After a brief thank you, he raised his head and drank the wine in his glass.

"It's already noon, and I'm sure everyone's hungry, so I won't ramble on any further. Thank you all again, cheers!"

Everyone present was one of his own, so Chen Xiangwan didn't say any empty polite words and was very casual.

"Dry!"

Everyone raised their glasses, and the full-moon banquet for the two children officially began. Since Wei Chengyi was always busy, no matter who toasted him, he would serve tea instead. However, Shen Xiangwan drank quite a lot, and she was a little dizzy when the banquet ended. Wei Chengyi entrusted the children to Zhao Yuping and took her back upstairs to rest.

"These two kids are really good-looking."

Looking at the children lying in the cribs and spitting up milk bubbles, Aunt Wang couldn't help but praise that the Wei family really knew how to raise children. At the beginning, the old man listened to Wanwan's suggestion and gathered everyone to talk about buying a dairy cow. In the end, few people responded. So they partnered with the second and third sons' families to buy a dairy cow. After drinking milk for several months, not only the children, but even they, the adults, felt much better.

"Chengyi and Wanwan are good-looking, so their children will naturally be no worse than before."

As Wan spoke, she picked up her younger sister, Xiao Yanyu. She loved pretty girls, but unfortunately, their family only had a boy, Yunyi, and her son and daughter-in-law didn't seem to be in a hurry to have children. If she wanted to have a granddaughter, it would probably take another two years.

“Wow…”

Maybe he felt his sister was taken away, but little Yanqing suddenly burst into tears. Zhao Yuping quickly picked him up and said, "Don't cry, little Yanqing. Grandma loves you, don't cry!"

"This child, is he vying for favor?"

Wei Ling'er suddenly said something that startled everyone. Then they couldn't help laughing. She took the child from Zhao Yuping's hands. Yue Ruyan teased him, saying, "Maybe he's afraid that bad guys will take his sister away."

"Hahaha···"

This statement was even more bizarre, and everyone couldn't help but burst into laughter, but they quickly put the child back in the crib. Children at this stage must not be held too long, otherwise they will need to be held all the time. It's okay during the day because there are many people in the family and they won't be tired from taking turns holding them, but it will be troublesome at night.

"Chengyi, when will we attack Jiaozhou?"

In the bedroom upstairs, Shen Xiangwan leaned against the bed with her eyes slightly squinted. She was not drunk, just a little tipsy. Wei Chengyi had been handling government affairs beside her during this period. She basically knew everything about what was happening outside. Mingzhou had been put in place, and it was almost time to take over Jiaozhou.

"Any time."

Walking over and reaching out to brush the hair away from her cheek, Wei Chengyi said softly that the emperor had not sent any reinforcements, and there were only about 10,000 or 20,000 troops stationed in Jiaozhou. It would be a piece of cake to capture it, and it was basically not worth their special effort.

"If we take it down sooner rather than later, the people can still plant a crop of potatoes. Only when they can truly solve their food and clothing problems will they support us."

He who wins the hearts of the people wins the world. This is not just talk. If they cannot gather the hearts of the people, they will not be able to maintain their rule even if they conquer the country.

"Well, do you want to come with me?"

Wei Chengyi did not object. In fact, if he had not wanted to accompany her, he would have taken Jiaozhou long ago. The situation around Tianqi Kingdom was not peaceful, and they had to quell the civil unrest as soon as possible. Otherwise, if other countries took advantage of the situation, they would face greater trouble.

"want."

Opening his eyes, Shen Xiangwan slowly sat up: "I want to take the children with me. When we are not free, we can give them to Ruyan or put them in the space and let Number One look after them. When we are free, I will take care of them myself."

This time they would definitely fight their way to the imperial city and would not be back in a short time. She did not want the children to not recognize her in the future. Besides, her mother-in-law and the others had to take care of the little cubs and Xiaotuanzi. Even if there were servants to help, they would probably not be able to take care of two more babies.

"Okay, take it with you. We'll set off in three days."

Wei Chengyi agreed without much thought. There were too many children in the family, and it would not be good to leave them all to their mother and her family. The space was very safe, and there was Number One who knew basically everything, so the children would not suffer if they followed them.

"Um."

Pei Ji leaned over and snuggled into his arms, closing his eyes and hugging his waist. The dog emperor had been at large for so long, it was time for him to pay the price!

Wei Chengyi and his friends' plan to take the children away was strongly opposed by Zhao Yuping and others, but they would not change their decision easily. In the end, Shen Xiangwan persuaded them with her eloquence. Perhaps because they had left several times before, the little cubs did not cry this time, but just repeatedly told them with red eyes to come back early.

During this period, Yan Lang and his men had been stationed in Mingzhou, and the Wei family army was also stationed at the junction of Mingzhou and Jiaozhou. Wei Chengyi and his wife went directly to Mingzhou. In order to avoid the bumpy road, they put the child in the space. It was not until they heard the child crying at night that everyone realized that they had brought the child with them.

"Qingying, you will lead 50,000 soldiers to attack Anyang City tomorrow."

In the central military tent, Wei Chengyi gave orders in a deep voice. Anyang City was the closest city to Mingzhou in Jiaozhou. Originally, it had only more than a thousand troops stationed there. In order to deal with them, the government office and the garrison commander had mobilized all the soldiers of Jiaozhou to Anyang County. It was estimated that there were about 20,000 people in total. The reason for sending 50,000 people to attack was because he wanted to capture Anyang City as quickly as possible and with overwhelming advantage, so that other cities in Jiaozhou would not dare to resist again, and he wanted to take Jiaozhou as bloodlessly as possible.
