Chapter 362 Attacking Nanzhao
The second day after the Emperor and Empress's wedding.
Lin Anyuan and Ye Wan brought their three daughters into the palace.
Because of her identity, Lin Suying could not return home. Emperor Jing tried his best to take care of her feelings and let the children spend more time with her.
"Your belly has suddenly grown a lot. Are you tired at night lately?" Lin Suyi asked Ye Wan with concern.
She has given birth, so she knows how painful childbirth is, and that no one can take that pain away from her.
Wanwan is so good, so good that she can't bear to see her suffer even the slightest grievance.
"It's alright." Ye Wan touched her belly. "I'm probably about to give birth. My belly has been growing a lot these past few days."
I heard that touching it too much can cause the umbilical cord to get wrapped around the neck, but she only touches it occasionally and it doesn't cause any problems.
Sometimes it's amazing how she got pregnant.
"What did the doctor say?"
"The doctor said there's no problem, Your Majesty, please rest assured."
Lin Suyi was worried but didn't know what to say, so she asked Qin Gu to bring the prince over for Ye Wan to see.
Ye Wan was delighted to see the exquisitely handsome prince.
This child is so beautiful, so lovely, and so well-behaved. I wonder if she can have such a beautiful child.
"You three should all relax. Today is a family banquet, so make yourself at home," Emperor Jing said to Da Ya, Er Ya, and San Ya.
This was the first time the three of them had met the Emperor and Empress, so it was understandable that they were nervous.
This was something the three of them had never dared to dream of before.
Er Ya, in particular, recalled that when her grandmother first came to the house, she said a lot of sarcastic and mean things.
We were so poor back then. When people are poor, they really do haggle over every little bit of food and drink.
Looking back now, Er Ya feels that those days were truly tough, so she desperately wanted to make money and have endless wealth.
"What do you think? Should we take Nanzhao?"
Emperor Jing spoke of Nanzhao as if he were having a casual chat.
Nanzhao is easy to defend but difficult to attack, and it has many poisonous creatures, so it will probably take some effort to take it down.
Feng Xinshui's cooperation is indeed quite sincere. In order to get revenge, she is even willing to make her own country a vassal state. I wonder what kind of deep hatred she has.
Ye Wan, holding the prince, said, "Father-in-law, all the lands illuminated by the sun and moon should belong to the Xia Dynasty."
Upon hearing this, Emperor Jing suddenly burst into laughter.
Ye Wan was stunned for a moment. Had she said something wrong? Why was she laughing like that?
Which man doesn't dream of conquering the world? She does.
It's just too difficult to break the feudal social system. Deep down, she's still a bit of a couch potato, and she's already content with her current position.
"Haha, my daughter-in-law is right."
Emperor Jing looked at Ye Wan. This was the first time he had looked closely at this nominal daughter-in-law, whom he had appointed as a female official.
An ambitious woman who is also very capable.
"Then I agree, and we will attack Nanzhao after the New Year."
Emperor Jing said to Lin Anyuan, "You shouldn't go then. Your wife is giving birth, and I imagine you won't be in the mood to fight anyway."
Lin Anyuan had no objection; he hadn't wanted to go in the first place anyway.
He already has too many achievements to his name, and he is already adorned with accolades. There is no need for him to go to Nanzhao to claim credit for himself.
The family dined with the emperor and empress, and returned home with a large amount of gifts, making many people envious.
The deaths of Murong Qiu and Murong Ping made all the remaining princes behave themselves and obediently carry out their duties, but that doesn't mean they weren't envious.
They're so envious they're practically sick, yet they dare not let a single moth breed.
"Father, I want to go to Nanzhao."
Sanya was kneeling on the floor in the study.
Lin Anyuan looked at Sanya, "Your mother is about to give birth, are you willing to let her worry?"
In just a few years, the little boy has grown up and looks like a tall, handsome young man dressed in men's clothing.
Sanya looked up at Lin Anyuan and said, "Now that the world is at peace and there are few wars, this is an opportunity. Father, I will regret it if I don't go."
Lin Anyuan was having a headache. He didn't know how to raise children, and his three daughters had all been raised rather roughly after being adopted.
"go,"
Ye Wan suddenly spoke up, and the two of them looked at her.
At the door of the study, Ye Wan, heavily pregnant, walked in and pulled Sanya up from the ground, telling her not to kneel.
She patted Sanya's head as if she had just passed by, and said, "My child has grown up and has her own ideas and things she wants to do. As her mother, I will naturally support her. Go if you want to. Don't worry about me. I have so many people around me. I don't need you to take care of me."
"mother."
Sanya felt a lump in her throat and wanted to hug Ye Wan, but her round belly blocked her way.
"No matter what, always remember to come back safe and sound."
Ye Wan agreed to let Sanya go, and the others naturally had no objections.
These past two days, Sanya started packing her things, dressed in men's clothing, to say goodbye to Ye Wan.
Wei Ye was also traveling with them; his father was the commander-in-chief in the attack on Nanzhao.
General Wei is old and has spent his life on the battlefield. In his old age, he has been burdened with infamy. Now that the Wei family is in decline, he still has the opportunity to go back to the battlefield, which is already a blessing.
This is the only son left in three generations of the family. The Wei family actually wanted Wei Ye to pursue a career in literature.
But Wei Ye insisted on going to the battlefield.
Ye Wan escorted the person to the city gate, and touched Sanya's breasts again, saying, "My son, go forward boldly, and don't look back."
Sanya hugged Ye Wan, then hugged her two older sisters one by one, and finally glanced at Lin Anyuan before mounting her horse and spurring it on.
Ye Wan watched her departing figure, feeling somewhat uneasy.
That's a battlefield. You have to come back alive from mountains of corpses and seas of blood. You can endure some hardship while practicing martial arts in your daily life and you won't die, but you will on the battlefield.
Lin Anyuan held her shoulders and said, "Wanwan, if you can't bear to part with her, then let her come back."
Ye Wan glared at him, "She is our daughter, not a cat or a sparrow. It's not about clipping her wings, locking her in a cage, and raising her with great care. That's not what's good for her."
Lin Anyuan naturally understood this principle as well.
"Lin Anyuan, do you think I'm getting old? Why am I becoming so sentimental these days?" Ye Wan sighed.
Perhaps after raising a child for a long time, you really develop a bond with them, and suddenly leaving them leaves you feeling empty inside.
"Don't sigh, you're not old. You'll always be the most beautiful in my heart."
Lin Anyuan kissed Ye Wan's fingers with a devout expression, as if he were on a pilgrimage.
Old Madam Wei and Madam Wei, who were standing nearby, originally intended to come over and say a few words to Ye Wan, but seeing this situation, they didn't dare to come over.
Many people came to say goodbye today.
One of the carriages was also watching Lin Anyuan and Ye Wan.
"I really envy Madam Lin. I really want to marry General Lin. Such a handsome man, I would be happy to just look at him every day."
It was too far away for Zheng Xiaodie to see Lin Anyuan's face clearly, but she liked even just a glimpse of him.
The maidservant said expressionlessly, "Miss, just give up on that idea. Let's go back quickly. If the master finds out, we'll definitely be punished."
Haven't they been grounded enough?
I finally got to go out, but my old ailment flared up again.
"I'm just looking, I'm not going to do anything, you can't be so stingy as to not even let me look," Zheng Xiaodie said, clutching her handkerchief.
Ye Wan felt her back getting tired from standing for so long, and since she could no longer see Sanya, she turned to Lin Anyuan and said, "Let's go back."
