Chapter 141 A First Marriage is Better Than a First Marriage (17)

The Empress nodded. "That's the only way for now."

When Ning Yan was almost four months pregnant, she finally received a gift from her parents-in-law in Beijing.

Silks, jewels, and rare treasures were all sent over, along with four palace servants and even the imperial chefs, all out of concern that their daughter-in-law wouldn't eat well during her pregnancy. This was also why they scolded the Crown Prince so harshly; they only found out the Crown Princess was three months pregnant, causing the imperial chefs to be late in delivering the gifts.

When asked why they didn't bring the imperial chef with them before, the question was: wasn't it because they were afraid their daughter-in-law would think they were pressuring her to have a child, and that the pressure would make it harder for her to conceive?

Chunyu Mo has been staying in the military camp lately, and Wen Xiangyan also comes over from time to time. Sometimes Ning Yan mistakenly thinks she is the third party in the relationship between the two. Anyway, she has never seen such a harmonious relationship between the first and second wives.

The military camp recruited many women from the city to deal with the ferocious beasts. Too many beasts were killed and there were not enough people. On the contrary, because the soldiers' strength improved and there was no large-scale beast tide, the women had free time and worked together to make meat products.

Most of them are processed into smoked meat, cured meat, and dried meat, and then sold to ordinary people.

Chunyu Mo had already instructed the soldiers to slow down their progress, and he could better understand Ning Yan's words about not wiping out all the ferocious beasts.

We can't finish it all, we simply can't finish it all. Killing too many animals is such a waste.

Seeing his woman's radiant smile upon seeing the treasures, Chunyu Mo felt bewitched. He walked over, pressed her head, and kissed her twice forcefully. "Little money-grubber, when we return to the capital, my private treasury will be yours. What's mine is yours."

Ning Yan's eyes lit up even more. Although she couldn't take these things with her, she could divide them among her children. She wouldn't feel it was a pity if the property had someone to inherit it, and she would also earn more for her children.

"Your Highness must keep your word, or I will be angry."

"Yes, I always keep my word when I say it to you."

...

More than five months later, Ning Yan gave birth to a son and two daughters safely. When the Empress received the news, she personally brought gifts to the border to celebrate the baby's one-month birthday. She lived on the border for more than four months, and when the weather warmed up, she brought the three children back to the palace.

Are you really willing to do that?

Ning Yan wondered what there was to be reluctant about.

She has no idea how easy it is not to have to raise her own child.

Ning Yan's voice carried a hint of melancholy, "As parents, we always want to give our children the best life."

I've thought about going back to Beijing with the children, but I can't leave you all behind.

Chunyu Mo: I would be even happier if you removed the word "men".

Five months after giving birth, Ning Yan's body had long since recovered to its pre-marriage state. Whenever Chunyu Mo led a team on a mission, Ning Yan would follow.

He didn't want to bring her, but Ning Yan already had forty cauldrons of power, only one cauldron less than Wen Xiangyan, and only five cauldrons less than him, the crown prince. He really had no excuse not to let her go.

However, both men were very worried about her, and the three of them mostly acted together. When Chunyu Mo hunted ferocious beasts, Wen Xiangyan stayed by her side to protect her, and when Wen Xiangyan killed ferocious beasts, Chunyu Mo stayed by her side every step of the way. In short, she was away for almost a month and didn't even have a chance to make a move.

After returning to the military camp, Ning Yan gave the two of them a severe beating.

As winter approached and the weather grew colder, two men took turns warming the bed, making their lives incredibly comfortable.

For the next few months, the three of them lived like this: going to the front lines together to do missions, resting for a while after returning, and then going to do missions again.

When there's too much beast meat to consume, she'll rest for a couple more days at the camp. Occasionally, Chunyu Mo will abduct her, taking her into the city to eat snacks, drink tea, stroll around, ride horses, buy jewelry, and even buy flowers for her when he hears people telling stories.

It's really hard not to be attracted to a man like that, and then fall deeply in love with him.

The two men seemed to have agreed to take turns. Ning Yan stayed at Chunyu Mo's house for the past few days, and in a few days she would move into Wen Xiangyan's small house.

Whenever it was Wen Xiangyan's turn, he would go crazy, and the feelings he dared not show on ordinary days would be fully displayed every night.

"Yanyan, do you like Chunyu Mo more than me?"

What could Ning Yan do? She could only tell him firmly every time, "You two are equally important to me. You are both my legal husbands, and I love you both equally." Her main goal was to treat you both fairly.

The Crown Prince has become abnormal; he not only doesn't mind others eavesdropping on his private affairs, but he also eavesdrops on Xiang Yan's private affairs himself.

Yes, only Wen Xiangyan.

He doesn't care how other people sleep with women.

He has strong mental power now. If he eavesdrops on their conversation, she'll be in for a lot of trouble when it's his turn.

Being a woman is hard; being a woman who enjoys the blessings of having multiple lovers is even harder!

Not only do you have to remember to treat everyone equally, but you also have to exercise every day, otherwise you'll be in big trouble if you can't keep up with the physical demands.

She's doing very well now, and she's on par with both of them in terms of ability.

I enjoy every night.

As the year draws to a close, Ning Yan finally reached a definitive conclusion.

Those ferocious beasts are controlled by a mysterious force. They can move freely within a certain range, but it is completely impossible for them to break through the barriers between countries and live in other countries.

Therefore, this world is on the path of advancement.

The world is divided into the Great Thousand World, the Middle Thousand World, and the Small Thousand World.

The mission takers have the opportunity to travel through any of these worlds.

A minor world can be upgraded to a middle world, and a middle world can be upgraded to a major world.

Besides this, there is an eternal world, which has transcended the definition of the three thousand worlds. It is a special existence, and the people living there are all people with divine status. No, it is not accurate to say people; it should be all species with divine status.

The world that allows one to train physical strength has already transcended the realm of the Lesser Thousand Worlds and is advancing towards the Middle Thousand Worlds. However, the power of this world is still unstable, and the Xuanwu Continent is currently in the transition from the Lesser Thousand Worlds to the Middle Thousand Worlds.

This process may take hundreds or thousands of years, but it certainly cannot be completed in the short term.

Those ferocious beasts are the key to advancement.

Therefore, the ferocious beasts must not be exterminated, otherwise it will definitely affect the advancement of this world.

Ning Yan told the Crown Prince about her discovery.

She didn't expect Chunyu Mo's first words after hearing this to be: "How did you know all this?"

Ning Yan was silent for a while, then suddenly smiled: "Because I am a god, and I am only descending to the mortal realm to undergo tribulation. Although I have lost some memories of my time as a god, I will regain those memories when I encounter a specific event."

Chunyu Mo gave her a deep look, and then asked her in a very serious tone, "So, my fairy-like Crown Princess, will you leave me?"

He believed it.

Nobody likes stories about one woman and multiple men, so I'll try to write less of those in the future. I'll mark any similar plots next time so you can skip them.
