"It was this calamity. If it weren't for the special fate of this person, I think she would not have survived that time. Now that she has survived such a disaster, she will surely have good fortune in the future."
Qi Lianli's heart finally relaxed. Xiao Lingyu was unconscious at the time and he was very scared, but fortunately he survived.
"Then what is so special about her fate?"
Master Ci'en lowered his eyes and glanced at the birth date on the paper again. "This person has borrowed the destiny from heaven, which means he will live a long life."
"What does this mean?"
Master Ci'en glanced at the sky and said, "It is only fate."
Qi Lianli smiled when he heard that. That was the fate of a phoenix. Master Ci'en really had a reputation that was not in vain.
"So is she pregnant with a boy or a girl?"
Master Ci'en gave him a deep look and said, "The secret of heaven cannot be revealed. Whether it's a boy or a girl, it's her blessing. It's best not to have any thoughts about her child. The master of destiny is not someone to be messed with casually!"
Master Ci'en left after he finished speaking. Qi Lianli looked at the quickly disappearing figure and felt heavy-hearted.
But he soon came to his senses and realized that he was just following orders.
When Qi Lianli returned to the city, it was already dark.
Passing by the princess's mansion, I lifted the curtain and looked at the closed door. I hope the princess gave birth to a girl...
Xiao Xier was going to have a younger brother soon, and she was happy all afternoon. But after dinner, she sat in front of the fireplace with her little face in her hands, staring at Xiao Lingyu's belly, with a look of confusion between her brows.
"Mom, after six months, is your belly really big?"
Xiao Lingyu touched her belly and gestured, "It's showing now. My belly is about this big. When Xiaowu is inside, he'll move around and maybe even kick me."
"Ah? Xiaowu wants to kick Mom again? Will it hurt Mom?"
"No, it's called fetal movement."
"Oh, your belly is so big, won't it be tiring?"
"It depends on the individual. Don't worry, Mom is in good health and will definitely not get tired."
Xiao Xier knew that Lu Yuan rarely left the house after she became pregnant, and she also felt sleepy easily.
Mother should be like her!
Alas, in half a year, her mother will not be able to go back to Nankun with her to recognize her ancestors.
Mom can't go, and Dad certainly can't go if he has to accompany Mom.
The eldest brother has returned to Xirong, and the second and third brothers are still children!
She had been thinking that the whole family could go to Nankun, but now they can’t get together!
If Xiaowu had come to see his mother half a year later, his mother would have been able to stay in Nankun to take care of the baby.
Could she not be a child of her word?
What should I do?
Xiao Xier suddenly stood up and said, "Mom, I have to go out for a while. I won't sleep at Sister Yulan's house tonight. Wait for me to come back."
Xiao Xier left the room and ran into Su Xingyi.
"Are you going back to Jianjia Garden?"
"No, I'm going to go back to bed in half an incense stick. Daddy, please go in and talk to Mom."
After saying that, he jumped into Yunshuang's arms, and the master and servant quickly disappeared from Su Xingyi's sight.
Xiao Xier first went to the study, wrote a letter to her father and mother, and then went to the cold courtyard.
"Young Master, why are you here?"
"My princess' mother is pregnant now. I won't be able to return to Nankun to recognize my ancestors for half a year. I can't go back for at least ten months. Please write a letter to my father, the emperor, and mother, stating the truth, and send it back along with my own letter."
"Okay, young master, we'll send someone out tomorrow."
"How are you sending them out?" Xiao Xier suddenly realized something. "Your movements are restricted now. You have to report wherever you go."
Tai Zhuo responded very quickly, "Young Master, you can arrange for any one of us to go back to Nankun to deliver the letter."
"I need to deliver the letter overnight. Who should I send?"
"Marquis Yuan!"
"Well, write now, and use the characters I know!"
"..." Tai Zhuo, "Okay!"
A quarter of an hour later, Xiao Xier saw that Tai Zhuo's letter was fine, so she handed it to Yuan Hou along with her own handwritten letter:
"Be sure to deliver the letter to my mother so that she can rest assured. I will definitely return to Nankun in ten months."
"Yes! Young master, I will leave now!"
"Wait."
Xiao Xier gave him fifty taels of silver as travel expenses, and asked Yunshuang to go to the kitchen to get him a few large meat patties, and then sent him out of the house.
"Let's go."
Lei Xiao soon learned that Marquis Yuan had left the mansion, "Miss, we need to report Marquis Yuan's departure to Master Su."
"He's going to deliver a letter for me. I'll tell my parents that there will be a lot of people coming to the plum blossom viewing banquet tomorrow, so we need to send more people to guard against it. There can't be any chaos, especially my mother. There can't be any accidents!"
Lei Xiao didn't expect that Xiao Xi'er, despite being so young, could speak so powerfully. "Don't worry, young lady. I've borrowed people from the government office to come and set up defenses. We will definitely not let anyone offend the princess."
"Yunshuang, let's go!"
"Daddy and Mommy, I'm back. I just did something important..."
The next day, before dawn, the Princess's Mansion became busy.
All the people attending the banquet got up early and washed and dressed themselves.
Ever since the Huguo Princess Mansion was established in Huayang County, they have been thinking about having a chance to climb up to the Princess Mansion.
I was just having trouble finding a way out, but I never expected that the princess would hold a plum blossom viewing banquet, and the opportunity would come to me!
They must seize the opportunity!
If they can gain the favor of the princess, they will have the opportunity to become the number one family in Huayang County with the help of the princess.
The wealthy businessmen wanted to use the power of the Princess's Mansion to expand and strengthen their businesses.
However, the county magistrates who attended the banquet brought their families with them, thinking about their own careers.
As for the three families of Si, Meng and Lu going to the banquet, it was simply going to the banquet.
Only Meng Zihe took advantage of the plum blossom viewing banquet to see the girl he had been thinking about.
He got up early in the morning, dressed in front of the mirror, and changed five or six sets of clothes before choosing a moon-white winter robe that matched the plum blossoms, and put on a Quchen fur cloak on the outside.
"Second Young Master, the Madam wants you to have breakfast in the Madam's room and then go to the Princess's Mansion."
"Okay, I understand. I'll be right there."
Meng Zihe straightened his clothes in front of the mirror and went to Meng Wei's room half a cup of tea later.
"Grandmother, mother, elder brother, Wen'er, Qian'er."
When Meng Wei saw Meng Zihe's outfit, her eyes lit up. She thought her Zihe would definitely win the prize today.
"Sit down and eat."
Meng Wei looked at the scene where Meng Zilu, Su Ningwen, and Meng Yunqian, father and son, were feeding each other.
Her son Zilu is still so young, and she has to take care of two children and study for the imperial examinations. She can't just stay single.
"Zi Lu, Zi He, most of the people attending the banquet today are young men and women of marriageable age from Huayang County. It's rare to see them here, so your mother and I will help you choose the right one..."
"Grandmother, I will be going to Beijing to take the imperial examination in the spring. I will consider this matter after I pass the exam."
Meng Zilu hurriedly said: "My two sons are still so young. They say that if you have a stepmother, you will also have a stepfather."
"Who said that?" Meng Wei was unhappy. "Wen'er's mother is now a princess, and Qian'er's mother is Madam Liu. They are both children who are loved by their mothers. You don't need to worry about the children being tortured by their stepmothers. You are still so young, you should always have someone who understands your warmth and cares for you."
