Chapter 356 New Year's Eve

In fact, Su Qingwan never knew why Lu Jing liked her so much. She had never experienced being liked by someone so much. Such strong emotions were fierce, gentle and heavy. She didn't dare to give her true heart to him. In fact, she was more afraid of disappointing him. She was not afraid of being let down, but afraid that she would let him down. She shouldered too many responsibilities and the situation in Huainan was unstable. She was always afraid of changes in the future. Even when she was happiest, she had some worries. She always felt that her happiness was on thin ice and short-lived.

Now that she has a child, happiness seems to be real, and she is not so anxious or panicked.

So, she easily forgave Lu Jing's white lie.

The ending was good, she could accept it, so she relaxed. She had also hidden many things from Lu Jing and had also hidden things from Lu Jing to lure the snake out of its hole. If she put herself in his shoes, there was no need to blame him.

After Lu Yunshu got married, she lived a happy life. When she returned home, it was very lively. She first went to Lu Jing and then to the palace. Lu Jing knew that Su Qingwan liked Lu Yunshu, so he also showed her respect and stayed at home to entertain his brother-in-law.

Lu Yunshu also brought her some specialties from her husband's family, which were the favorite foods of pregnant women. They were sweet and sour and delicious. She was afraid that Su Qingwan would have morning sickness. Su Qingwan looked at her happy appearance and could vaguely remember the embarrassment when she was forced to come by the prostitute. Now it was great, as long as she was happy.

Autumn passed in a flash, and good news came from Huainan. The Huainan army captured six cities in succession. Su Nianqing became famous in one battle, and his prestige in the army gradually increased. When the news reached the court, all the civil and military officials were excited. Dayuan was unwilling to make peace, and if the fighting continued, Xilin would be included in Dayuan's territory in the future.

This is not a vassal state, but real territory. The imperial court can send troops and officials to the Xilin area to seize local resources. Moreover, Xilin is rich. Huainan is now fighting to support war, and the pressure on the imperial court is reduced. As long as there are no natural disasters or man-made disasters, this is a war that is bound to be won. Xilin's morale is no longer good.

Su Qingwan was also very happy to see the military report. She wanted to fly back to Huainan. Nian Qing was gradually able to support Huainan. She was relieved and hoped that this battle would end quickly, Xilin would surrender, and be included in the territory of Dayuan. Further west, the land was barren and there was no need to expand the territory. Moreover, the land there was barren and there were mostly tribes, so they would not fight each other. The entire Huainan area would become very stable, and a few decades would be enough for Huainan to recuperate.

In the blink of an eye, it was the end of the year, and Su Qingwan's pregnancy was already obvious. There was a palace banquet on New Year's Eve, and Lu Jing had to go to the palace to preside over the banquet. The roads were slippery due to the snow, and Su Qingwan had not been feeling well recently. There were many sacrifices at the banquet on New Year's Eve, and she had to kneel for a long time. Lu Jing asked Su Qingwan to have a good rest at home, and he would come back as soon as possible to spend New Year's Eve with her.

Su Qingwan was supposed to attend the first New Year's Eve banquet after their marriage, but Lu Jing was really worried that Su Qingwan had little respect for the royal family and was lazy at home. She didn't want to go to the Lu family either, so she spent New Year's Eve in the yard with the maids. Qingyun Liyue and the maids in the yard made many lanterns and arranged a troupe. Although the weather was cold, they were enthusiastic. Su Qingwan was in a good mood and gave a lot of money, and the mansion was lively.

She was the only hostess at home and didn't need many people to serve her. After receiving the reward money, she gave everyone a day off so that their families could reunite and have a good New Year's Eve.

It was freezing cold, so she, Qingyun, and Liyue were ordering a pot to eat.

Her appetite has increased a lot recently, and she has a very good appetite, but there are many things that she cannot eat. Lu Jing is very strict, and it is rare that Lu Jing is not at home, so Su Qingwan wants to indulge in her food.

Li Yue couldn't persuade her. She and Qingyun asked the doctor in the mansion, who said that as long as she was not greedy, there would generally be nothing to worry about.

Who knew that when we were halfway through the meal, Lu Jing came back!
