Han Luoxue shook her head: "No, the wedding went quite smoothly!"
"I still feel a little guilty, Xue'er. Our wedding was too simple back then. Don't you think we should have it again?"
Han Luoxue turned her head and rolled her eyes at him: "What's the point of holding a celebration? How old is your child already?"
Ouyang Zhen laughed heartily: "Wasn't she just born? It's not that much later. The circumstances were special back then, but I wanted to give you everything that was best! Xue'er, I don't want you to lack what others have!"
Hearing this, Han Luoxue was even more moved. She softened her body and nestled in Ouyang Zhen's arms, pressing her whole body against him.
"It's Wang Yan, a girl I met in Yancheng. Zhou Jun was protecting me back then, right? We lived next door to Wang Yan, and she took a liking to him at first sight!"
Ouyang Zhen knew about this, and she nodded, continuing to listen.
"I never expected that girl would actually follow me all the way to the capital. Actually, I quite like her; at least she has a good personality. Besides, I owe her a lot when I was giving birth. Because our families live relatively close, Xiao Tao went to her, and she found a midwife. Otherwise, both my baby and I would have been in danger!"
Ouyang Zhen's hands tightened slightly. The situation was very dangerous at the time, but unfortunately he was in the capital and couldn't be by his wife's side at all.
He is still feeling very sad right now, but when his wife gives birth again, he will definitely stay by her side and never leave her side!
"I think there's something going on between those two. A while ago, they came from Yancheng. The other woman was a bit cautious and didn't speak as frankly as Wang Yan. Actually, I didn't like her that much either. But who would have thought she would dare to poison Zhou Jun!"
“Zhou Jun ran into Wang Yan’s yard. Zhou Jie and I were there too. I actually had the antidote on me. Even if it couldn’t completely cure the poison, it would at least cure it to a large extent. But I felt that the two of them were both so slow, and I wondered when they would actually get together. So I didn’t take out the antidote, and the two of them ended up together…”
"Wang Yan is pregnant now, but Zhou Jun's mother isn't easy to talk to. She still doesn't really like Wang Yan, so I'm a little worried about this girl!"
"Brother Chen, do you think I did the right thing back then? Should I have saved Zhou Jun?" Han Luoxue asked, looking confused.
Ouyang Zhen tightened his grip on her arm and whispered, "Silly girl, they both have feelings for each other!"
"If Zhou Jun had no feelings for Wang Yan, why did he go to Wang Yan's house when he was poisoned?"
Han Luoxue frowned. Actually, she had thought about it at the time, but it was because she knew that the two of them weren't completely without feelings for each other that she allowed them to be together.
"If he really didn't like Wang Yan, he should have gone home or found a doctor immediately after being poisoned, instead of going to find that girl!"
"Besides, what is Zhou Jun's mother anyway?"
Ouyang Zhen snorted coldly, "Xue'er, don't forget that Wang Yan is the savior of our two children! It's only natural to arrange a marriage for her!"
Han Luoxue's eyes lit up: "Brother Chen, you're absolutely right!"
How could she forget this? She is the current Empress, and Wang Yan once saved Mengmeng and Zhuangzhuang.
Although they gave Wang Yan's family a lot of benefits at the time, the debt of saving a life cannot be bought with a little bit of profit.
"You're worried about such a small thing?" Ouyang Zhen chuckled. "Don't worry about these kinds of people anymore. You only need to care about me!"
Without waiting for Han Luoxue's reply, he picked her up.
"Ah, Brother Chen, what are you doing!"
Suddenly, her body was lifted into the air, and Han Luoxue hugged his neck tightly with both hands in fear.
Ouyang Zhen laughed and said, "It's the middle of the night, shouldn't you be worried about your husband?"
Seeing the undisguised lust in the man's eyes, Han Luoxue felt her cheeks flush red and her heart pounding wildly.
"You... Brother Chen, aren't you tired? We were just..."
Ouyang Zhen just returned to Beijing yesterday, and she was exhausted from the journey. She stayed up half the night and almost broke her back.
I didn't expect this man to have so much energy; he wants to continue today.
Han Luoxue's cheeks flushed red, but she heard the man's soft laughter in her ear: "I owe you too much, I'll have to collect the debt slowly!"
Nothing happened that night, and as a result of paying off the debt again, I woke up the next day at noon.
Han Luoxue rubbed her aching back; a man being too strong isn't always a good thing.
The two little ones had already been taken to the Empress Dowager.
Han Luoxue quickly ate some food. She originally wanted to go and see the two little ones, but after looking at the sky, she thought it might not be appropriate to go at this time.
"Your Majesty, the Emperor has returned to the palace, and the date for the victory celebration banquet has been set. The Empress Dowager has said that you will be in charge of hosting this banquet!"
Ye Xue covered her mouth and chuckled, while Han Luoxue blushed when she saw her: "Wasn't the Empress Dowager's arrangement quite good last time?"
"Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager is worried that many more women will come, fearing it might affect your relationship!"
Han Luoxue... Is she such a petty person?
But a victory celebration banquet? Han Luoxue was quite interested. This was the first time she had hosted such a large banquet since coming to ancient times.
"First, get me a list of potential attendees for the banquet, along with their identities!"
Knowing yourself and your enemy is the key to victory in every battle.
The news that the Empress was going to host a victory celebration banquet somehow got out. Everyone outside was in an uproar.
The noble ladies gathered together again.
"Sister Li, why is this event hosted by the Empress? Do you think she might only invite ministers and not allow their families to attend?"
Xu Lingyi was extremely anxious. She had been working hard at home rehearsing her dance for some time now. Her family had spent a lot of money to hire a teacher for her, and she was hoping to become famous for her dance at the banquet.
Li Qingluan also frowned: "Her Majesty the Empress is not an easy person to talk to. We haven't received any information about the specific arrangements yet, but..."
If this were any other banquet, and they, as unmarried girls, were not allowed to enter, they could have their families' elders go in and protest.
However, it is not impossible to hold a victory celebration banquet and only invite ministers.
If Her Majesty the Empress insists, even if their family members enter the palace, the Emperor may not agree!
"How about we protest and have the Empress Dowager host the event instead?"
Someone suggested in a low voice, but Li Qingluan shook her head: "Her Majesty the Empress has given birth to the eldest prince and the eldest princess, and now the Empress Dowager dotes on her greatly, so she certainly won't take it over!"
