Looking at Xiaoyun's bright eyes, for a moment, Xiao Yan even wanted to stay in the capital!
It is true that beauty can lead to the downfall of a country. If it weren't for Xiaoyun, he would not have hesitated for so long and would not have set off yet.
The troops in the northern border are sufficient, but unfortunately they are a mixed bag, with garrisons from various places, generals who were born as bandits, and soldiers recruited locally. Without a strong commander, it is impossible to control these people.
If Marshal Ji were still alive, why would he have to lead the army in person?
It is easy to get an army, but it is difficult to get a general!
Xiao Yan hugged Xiao Yun and kissed her hard. He held the handkerchief and sachet Xiao Yun gave him in his arms, gritted his teeth, and jumped on the horse. He did not look back because he was afraid that if he took one look, he would never be able to leave.
Wei Ling followed behind him, also wearing armor, and looked back frequently.
Xiao Yan swung his spear and struck Wei Ling on the shoulder, neither lightly nor heavily. "Focus! If you don't achieve military merit on this trip north, don't come back!"
He is the emperor, why does he always go out fighting and killing?
Of course, such matters must be handed over to capable subordinates, such as Wei Ling, and the secret guards who have followed him for many years. Otherwise, how could he guard such a vast empire by himself? Wouldn't he be exhausted to death?
After Xiao Yan left, Ji Yunhuan felt that the days seemed to pass particularly slowly, and it seemed that playing Pai Gow with Wen Lan had lost its interest.
Wenlan was already a "dead man". After Xiao Yan ascended the throne, he caused the Crown Princess to "die of illness", and Ji Yunhuan, who was pregnant with the royal heir, naturally became the queen.
However, Wenlan couldn't bear to leave Xiaoyun, and she knew that Xiao Yan would lead the army in person, and Xiaoyun would have no one by her side at that time, so she still stayed in the palace to accompany Xiaoyun.
They still live in the original courtyard and will move to the palace after Xiaoyun gives birth.
Wen Lan pushed the Pai Gow in front of him and muttered, "It's boring, really boring. Xiaoyun, your soul has followed Xiao Yan away. I made several mistakes. My winning is too unsatisfying. I'm not playing anymore!"
Ji Yunhuan felt quite embarrassed. "I'm sorry, why don't we ask Divine Doctor Ye to come over and make up the numbers? She's been in the palace these days."
Wenlan already knew that Ye Jueming was a woman, and Jinqiu also knew it, but they did not object to playing Pai Gow with Ye Jueming.
Ye Jueming arrived soon. Xiaoyun's due date was approaching, so she had to stay in the palace every day, fearing that she would not be there when Xiaoyun gave birth.
This time, Wen Lan finally defeated Ye Jueming, but she couldn't be happy.
"What's wrong with you two? You look like you've lost your soul. Xiaoye, are you attracted to that cold Wei Ling?"
Ye Jueming immediately exploded, "What nonsense are you talking about? I'm not talking about that! I want to travel around the world. People in the world don't care about trivial matters. I don't want to be trapped in the capital!"
Wen Lan rolled his eyes. It was obvious that he liked her, otherwise why would he consider so much.
"My Gu Lang is still the best. He is gentle and considerate, and treats me wholeheartedly. He refused to marry after I entered the palace. He only wanted to marry me."
"Qianxi is a bit poor, but it's much more comfortable than the capital. And with my father in office, the people's lives will get better and better. The local people even built a longevity stele for him, which made him even more reluctant to leave."
Wenlan's father was promoted, but Lord Wen did not want to be transferred back to the capital. Wenlan's brother had already returned to the capital, and his future official position would definitely be high.
Xiao Yan was completely different from Xiao Qiping. He was a natural emperor who knew how to use people. He was never stingy with rewards for those who had been loyal to him for many years.
Ji Yunhuan was stunned thinking about this, until Wen Lan beside him screamed.
"Xiao Yun, you're bleeding! Quick, quick, quick! Someone come quickly! The Queen is about to give birth!"
After a period of chaos, Ji Yunhuan entered the delivery room.
Ye Jueming was a doctor, so he could naturally go in. Wen Lan also wanted to go in, but Ye Jueming disliked her because she couldn't help, so he stopped her outside.
Ji Yunhuan was brought back to her senses by the waves of contractions. She waited for a while and felt that the time was almost right, so she used the birthing pill and the little prince came out soon.
Ye Jueming had never seen a child born so smoothly, and he thought it was all due to his proper care in daily life.
Wen Lan looked at Xiao Yun's pale face and sweaty forehead, feeling terrified. "How can you call this a smooth flow? There's so much blood, it's horrible."
Even if you use the birth control pill, the bleeding will still occur and the damage to your body will still be there, but it will be smoother and there will be no difficult delivery.
Ji Yunhuan held the baby in the cradle and smiled softly. She teased the child for a while but couldn't hold on any longer and fell into a deep sleep.
Xiao Yan, who was far away in the northern border, received the news and immediately sent back an imperial decree, giving the newly born prince the name Yu and appointing him as the crown prince!
In the spring of the following year, Xiao Yan recaptured ten cities in the northern border. When the news reached the capital, the whole country celebrated and the new emperor's reputation reached its peak.
In teahouses and taverns, people talked about the new emperor's achievements. The deceased Xiao Qiping would always be dragged out and his corpse would be whipped. If Xiao Qiping had not been so stupid and incompetent and framed loyal officials, the northern border would not have fallen.
Xiao Yan marched northward, broke into the Great Khanate's lair, captured the Heavenly Khan alive, and continued to expand the territory of the Xiao Kingdom.
The Great Khanate was originally an alliance of eight tribes. The Chiyou tribe was defeated, and the other tribes were no match for it and surrendered one after another.
The two sides began to negotiate peace again. Xiao Yan threw these trivial matters to Wen Xizhi, left several generals to guard the northern border, and rode his horse at full speed overnight, unable to wait to return to Beijing.
He hasn't seen Xiaoyun for one hundred and eighty-six days, and he can't wait any longer!
In Xiaozhu Garden.
Ji Yunhuan was sleeping soundly, and Xiao Yu was sleeping beside her, with his arms and legs curled up together. His face was chubby, and he had a small mouth that was snoring and blowing bubbles.
