Yin Yao pursed her lips tightly, not noticing the night wind blowing into her collar.
Qingluan followed closely behind, crying:
"Princess, are we really going this way? We're just ahead of Xinzhou, and we're unfamiliar with the place..."
"Let's go back! The prince will definitely be very angry if we leave without saying goodbye."
Yin Yao's voice was cold and resolute, with a barely perceptible tremor: "We've been out for a day and a night, and we're hundreds of miles away from Jinyang. It looks like we should be in Xinzhou. No matter what father thinks, I will never go."
"Princess, are you really going to look for that 'green-faced, fang-toothed' Zhao Muyun?"
Qing Luan's face was filled with worry. "I heard people in the mansion talking about Zhao Muyun privately. They all said that he was a demon who killed people without blinking an eye. He was a vicious god who didn't even bother to change his robes after the blood at the border was stained red!"
"Aren't you afraid of falling into the tiger's mouth by going to Shuozhou like this?"
"What are you afraid of?"
Yin Yao reined in his horse and looked towards the vast road ahead, his eyes burning with a stubborn fire. "I want to go to Shuozhou! I want to see with my own eyes whether Zhao Muyun is a human or a ghost! If the rumors are true... humph, the worst that can happen is death!"
Ever since she accidentally overheard her father and brother's conspiracy and realized that she would become a political pawn, she felt a little disheartened.
She decided to go to Shuozhou to see what kind of person Zhao Muyun was.
"Princess!" Qingluan was frightened out of her wits.
"Stop talking and let's go! If you keep talking, you can go back to Jinyang. I'll go to Shuozhou alone."
"Also, from now on, if there are other people around, you must call me Young Master. Remember!"
Yin Yao squeezed the horse's belly, and the little white horse's four hooves took off and ran away in an instant.
She had only one vague and stubborn thought in her mind: to go to Shuozhou and see with her own eyes the man who would soon dominate her destiny.
"Master... wait for me!"
......
Shuozhou, the Colonel's Office.
After Zhao Muyun discussed the matter with Tang Yanhai, Han Zhong and Wu Shangzhi, he went to the back house to visit Huan Naxue who was pregnant.
This foreign woman with a slender figure like Victoria's Secret has a belly that has become much bigger than a balloon, and her face has become chubby.
She was wearing loose clothes, resting with her eyes closed, lying lazily on a chair, with two maids fanning her.
Zhao Muyun hired many maids and servants in his house.
However, he certainly did not treat these people in the same way as signing a contract to sell one's body in feudal society.
He had an employment relationship with these people, with food and accommodation provided, and a monthly salary, without any oppression or personal restrictions.
Not only that, Zhao Muyun also required the generals and officials under his command to use this method.
Brothers like Fengsuitai came from the bottom of society, knew the sufferings of the lower classes, and strongly supported Zhao Muyun's approach.
Although some other conservative officials could not accept it for the time being, they were somewhat influenced by Zhao Muyun and treated their original maids and servants much better.
Seeing Zhao Muyun, the two maids stood up and saluted, then tactfully stepped aside.
"Husband!" Huan Naxue opened her eyes, a look of surprise on her face, and wanted to get up.
"Don't move, just lie there." Zhao Muyun rushed forward and held Huan Naxue down. "The doctor told us not to move too much, or we might upset the fetus."
"I am a female general who can fight the enemy in battle. I am capable of fighting against the Tartars. How can I be so delicate?"
Huan Naxue refused to give in, but she felt sweet inside.
After Zhao Muyun got married with Bai Ruolan and Huan Naxue in Zhaojiazhuang, he immediately traveled back and forth between Yanzhou and Xiazhou for more than half a month for Wang Tiezhu's affairs.
Because of the tobacco issue, Bai Ruolan stayed in Xiazhou to prepare the preliminary work with Zhao Wen, Huang Chang and others.
Huan Naxue has been staying in Shuozhou to take care of her pregnancy.
Zhao Muyun returned to Shuozhou and participated in the training of Ye Bushou and the teaching of the first military training class. He was so busy that he had no time to take care of Huan Naxue.
It was rare for him to take the time to come and see her today, and Huan Naxue was already very satisfied.
"That won't do. Before was before, and now is now. Your task is to take good care of yourself and give birth to a big fat boy for me." Zhao Muyun grabbed Huan Naxue's hand and said seriously.
"Husband, if I give birth to a daughter, would you like it?" Huan Naxue asked, touching her bulging belly.
"Xue'er, what are you talking about? It doesn't matter whether it's a boy or a girl, I like both! I like a daughter even more, a beautiful mixed-race girl!" Zhao Muyun hurriedly comforted her.
"I thought my husband only wanted boys. Now that you say that, I feel relieved."
Huan Naxue believed every word Zhao Muyun said unconditionally.
However, she still hoped to give birth to a boy.
She felt that in this way, the relationship between the Wuhuan tribe and Zhao Muyun would become closer.
"The old lady and my brother and sister-in-law also came to visit you when you went to Yanzhou, and brought me a lot of things to nourish my pregnancy." Huan Naxue said again.
Huan Naxue remembered the little episode at the wedding in Zhaojiazhuang.
However, she wanted to ease the relationship between her and Zhao Muyun's family.
"Ah, they came to visit you? How come I didn't know about this?" Zhao Muyun was also very surprised.
The mother and brother and sister-in-law took the initiative to visit the pregnant Huan Naxue. They must have felt that they were all family and there was no need to have prejudices based on racial differences.
Zhao Muyun and Bai Ruolan had no objections, and they had no need to. What's more, Bai Ruolan was undoubtedly the legal wife.
"That's right, let's put the unpleasantness at the wedding in the past. We will all be a family from now on." Huan Naxue said, holding Zhao Muyun's hand.
"Of course I'm happy to see you two getting along so well!" Zhao Muyun took Huan Naxue's hand and kissed the back of it. "Xue'er, you're so considerate. I'm here with you tonight."
