Chapter 308 Welcome

Zhao Qiyuan and Su Rao were honest with each other and only then did they understand each other's feelings.

It turns out that in their relationship, it was never a one-man show, but rather each of them was trying to enter each other's world.

The Fourth Lady was happy, but no one shared this joy with her, so she sent Zhiyi to deliver a flower cake to Shen Qingtan.

She specially drew a red double happiness on the flower cake.

I hope to convey this good news to Shen Qingtan and Zhao Yi.

The days passed peacefully, and when the fourth wife was three months pregnant, she announced the good news of her pregnancy.

The quiet Duke's Mansion became a little more lively because of the happy event of the fourth room.

The Duke and the old lady finally smiled.

They had high hopes for the Fourth Lady's pregnancy, hoping that she would give birth to a boy who would inherit the Duke's Mansion in the future.

After all, Zhao Yi has royal blood flowing in his body. Just considering that he is the son of the Princess Protector of the Country, he is also a prince.

The Duke's Mansion couldn't keep him.

Even so, the eldest master and the eldest mistress were still worried that Zhao Yi would think too much, and they cared about him more than usual.

Every day at noon, Guan's mother would be sent to Lanxueyuan to invite the young couple to have lunch at Jingde Hall.

Zhao Yi anticipated that the day when he would go to Northern Qi was getting closer, and he was also worried that the eldest master and the eldest lady would be reluctant to leave, so he came to Jingde Hall more and more frequently in order to comfort the two elders.

When the Great Zhou welcomed the first snow of winter, it also welcomed the imperial tutor of Northern Qi.

When Shen Qingtan heard the news from the palace, he touched his twitching right eyelid and felt inexplicably uneasy.

"The Emperor has specially sent a palace maid to summon you to the palace. I'm afraid he wants you to personally greet the Imperial Tutor."

Shen Qingtan took out his casual clothes and put them on Zhao Yi, then put on a double-breasted, wide-sleeved cloak for him, and finally stuffed a sleeve warmer into his hand.

"I've specifically asked my brothers about Northern Qi's Imperial Tutor. I heard that Northern Qi's political decisions are basically made by the Imperial Tutor, which shows how cunning and scheming he is. You must be on your guard against him, lest you fall into his trap."

Zhao Yi understood Shen Qingtan's worries. It turned out that the envoys from Northern Qi were stirring up trouble in the Great Zhou, and it was inevitable that they had the imperial teacher's instructions.

This time, the Northern Qi imperial tutor came to the Great Zhou in person to apologize and seek peace. No one knows what other plans he has.

He said gently, "Don't worry, I know what's going on."

Shen Qingtan wanted to say something, but the man lowered his head and held her lips, swallowing her unspoken words and her sweet taste into his stomach.

Only when the palace servants outside urged him did Zhao Yi let go of Shen Qingtan and said, "Mother wants to make a pair of shoes for Father. You go and teach her later. When I come back, I will go with you to collect snow."

Shen Qingtan nodded: "Go quickly, don't keep the palace servants waiting for too long."

Zhao Yi left the house and followed the palace maid into the palace.

As Shen Qingtan expected, Emperor Jing'an personally appointed Zhao Yi and the Minister of the Ministry of Rites to go to the city gate to welcome the Imperial Tutor of Northern Qi.

Zhao Yi led his entourage to the city gate. He found that the Northern Qi envoys were already waiting at the gate, including the King of Qi and Princess Guangning.

In a moment, a long team came from far away.

Princess Guangning saw the carriage getting closer and closer, and the black and red flags of the Northern Qi Dynasty fluttered in the cold wind.

She stared at one of the carriages, which slowly stopped, and everyone around her went to meet it.

Maybe it was because the weather was too cold or for some other reason, but she stood there frozen, unable to move.

It wasn't until the man came out of the carriage that her dull eyes turned into fear.
