It's said that Princess Yong'an is as beautiful as a fairy, but her appearance is only average; she just has a slightly better temperament than the average woman.
But soon everyone realized they had mistaken someone for someone else.
Because the one who stepped forward with an excited expression was not the prince, but McQueen.
"Bai Zhi! What brings you here?!"
After Zhong Bin's death, Bai Zhi seemed to mature considerably overnight.
During the days when McQueen was injured, Bai Zhi took care of him most of the time, so he developed feelings for her, but she rejected him.
But it doesn't matter, he's not in a hurry. He believes that perseverance will eventually move Bai Zhi.
Bai Zhi looked at Mai Kun's outstretched hand in front of the carriage, but instead of touching it, she nimbly jumped to the ground.
She then bowed to Ye Zeyu and said, "Your Highness, the Princess Consort was afraid you would worry, so she sent me to tell you that she and the young masters are all well. It's just that it's inconvenient for her to come with the children, so she didn't come."
However, the Princess Consort sent me to bring you this.
As she spoke, Bai Zhi took out a folded piece of paper from her bosom.
Ye Ziyu unfolded the document and smiled happily.
There were no words on the paper, only three handprints.
One big and two small.
This is his wife and two children!
"Has Your Highness experienced any discomfort during your journey?"
Ye Zeyu couldn't help but ask with concern.
Bai Zhi smiled and said, "Your Highness, I'm relieved. The Princess is doing well. It's just that the two young masters are too clingy. You'll see once you're done with your work here."
Ye Zeyu always felt that Bai Zhi was hiding something from him, but seeing the smile in Bai Zhi's eyes made Ye Zeyu feel a little relieved.
It seems that Xi'er and the children are all fine, so what could Bai Zhi be hiding from him?
It was indeed inappropriate for Su Muxi to bring the child to such a place, and the reason she didn't come was to avoid distracting Ye Zeyu, since Ye Zeyu is now the commander of an army and should set an example.
If Ye Zeyu were to bring his family closer to the military camp, it's hard to guarantee that others wouldn't feel resentful.
So it doesn't matter if it takes a few more days.
You'll see them sooner or later.
To Ye Zeyu's surprise, his meeting with Su Muxi was delayed for half a month.
The Xuanwu army pressed their advantage and recaptured the lost northern frontier.
At the border between the two countries, the Northern Yan sent its third prince, Murong Jue, to negotiate peace.
Now, Northern Yan has completely run out of troops. All the iron in the country has been turned into cannons and shells by Murong Tian. Without soldiers or weapons, if the Xuanwu Army continues to fight, they may be able to directly attack their capital.
After final discussions, it was tentatively agreed that Northern Yan would pay ten million taels of silver and one thousand warhorses.
Compared to the destruction of a nation, what do these things matter?
Murong Jue quickly agreed.
But then Ye Zeyu said, "This money is only to compensate the people of the Northern Frontier and the soldiers of my Qi Kingdom who died. The warhorses are only to make up for the losses of my Xuanwu Army. As for whether or not to forgive your Northern Yan for taking action without permission, you still need to send an envoy to meet with my Qi Emperor and discuss it again."
Murong Jue gritted his teeth, but still smiled and agreed.
The situation is beyond our control; this is the only option left.
Before leaving, Murong Jue was stopped by Ye Zeyu again. He thought Ye Zeyu was going to make some demands again, but unexpectedly he brought out Murong Tian and Murong Qing.
"Your princes and princesses from Northern Yan have certainly had their share of food and drink during their time in our Qi Kingdom. I won't ask you for that portion of the silver. But you should take these people with you as soon as possible, since they really want to go back!"
After Murong Jue left, Xiao Ce asked in confusion, "Master, why did you let Murong Tian and Murong Qing leave?"
But Ye Ziyu said calmly, "Do you think those two are easy to deal with?"
Xiao Ce suddenly realized.
Murong Qing and Murong Tian have now fallen out, and neither of them are pushovers. Once they return to Northern Yan, they will surely cause chaos in the region.
If Northern Yan is in trouble, then their Qi state is doing well.
Then Ye Ziyu said, "Quickly prepare hot water, I want to take a bath!"
Now that everything is resolved, he can finally see Xi'er and the children!
Having not bathed for over two months, Ye Zeyu had the water changed three times before he was satisfied with drying himself off and preparing to leave Xuanwu Camp to see Su Muxi.
Su Muxi is now living in the residence of Lord Zhang, the garrison commander of the northern frontier.
It wasn't far from Xuanwu Camp; it was less than an hour's ride on horseback.
Zhang Shoubei naturally knew that Ye Zeyu hadn't come to see him, so he greeted him and led him to the backyard.
After thinking about it, he felt that if he didn't flatter Ye Ziyu, he would be wasting this opportunity to meet him.
As they walked, the princess said, "She is truly a living bodhisattva incarnate, saving us people of the northern frontier from suffering. She not only sent us food and medicine, but also brought many doctors!"
The two young princes were also clever and quick-witted, their voices full of energy—truly, like father, like son!
Ye Zeyu didn't pay much attention until he reached the courtyard gate and heard a baby crying from inside, at which point he realized something was wrong.
"What did you say? Two young princes?"
Didn't my father-in-law say in his letter that Xi'er gave birth to a boy and a girl?!
Unsure of Ye Zeyu's meaning, Zhang Shoubei thought perhaps the title "Young Prince" was inappropriate, so he quickly corrected himself, saying, "Yes, the two young masters are clever and quick-witted, and their voices are full of energy..."
Before Zhang Shoubei could offer the same flattery again, Ye Zeyu strode into the courtyard.
Inside the house, Su Muxi looked at the two crying children, feeling both helpless and heartbroken.
Although the two children were twins and were smaller than average at birth, they grew to be larger than average in less than a month.
Although the two children are only two months old, they look like they are four or five months old.
According to Su Xing, the two children took after Ye Zeyu.
With children this big, Su Muxi naturally couldn't carry two at once.
So I could only pick one up and comfort it, and then pick up the other one and comfort it.
But the two children seemed to be vying for attention. The child who was neglected in the wet nurse's arms would always cry loudly until Su Muxi held him in her arms and he would stop crying.
But the child who leaves Su Muxi's embrace will start crying loudly again.
In short, the two children would cry if Su Muxi didn't hold them.
The only times during the day when they can get along peacefully are when they are eating and sleeping.
Bai Zhi always found this scene amusing, because the two little masters were just wailing without shedding a single tear.
The princess could see through everything else at a glance, but she was incredibly naive when it came to the two young masters.
"Your Highness, why don't you put both children down? If you don't hold them, they'll cry for a bit and then stop."
"Try to cry less, or you'll ruin your voice," Su Muxi said with concern, but she didn't put the child down.
Seeing this, Bai Zhi teased, "If the prince returns, who will the princess hold? All three of them are so clingy, the princess can't possibly hold them all!"
