Not long after returning to Mucangzhai, Concubine Zhang and Fu Yunni rushed over.
Although there was no strange expression on Ye Wanshu's face, Concubine Zhang still noticed that the girl was angry.
She took out the pregnancy-supporting soup she had made from the food container and comforted Ye Wanshu while she drank it, saying, "That little bastard really went too far this time. Why would he bother a bookworm for no reason? He's just deliberately trying to arouse suspicion."
Fu Yunni also said, "Sister Wan, my eldest brother is just a blockhead and doesn't understand your thoughts. Don't bother with him."
"Our A Ni is really smart." Concubine Zhang touched Fu Yunni's head with satisfaction and continued, "Your eldest brother is almost going to be a father, but he's still jealous all day long. How can he be a crown prince?"
The mother and daughter argued back and forth, belittling Fu Mingchi in front of Ye Wanshu. Ye Wanshu listened silently and felt a little distressed.
"My Lady Consort, A'ni, this isn't the Crown Prince's fault," Ye Wanshu said truthfully. "I was negligent. When Brother Tao went to the border, I should have personally written a letter to inform him of the situation in the capital."
"Just because of such a small matter, he is resentful towards you."
Seeing this girl start to defend her son, Concubine Zhang was happy in her heart, but she still cursed: "He is really petty. Doesn't he know the difficult situation you are in the capital? Don't pay attention to him. Let him reflect on himself. When he returns to the capital, I will definitely scold him."
After saying that, he pretended to be very angry and added: "No, I will send someone to deliver a letter right now to scold him to death."
Seeing that the concubine was really about to leave, Ye Wanshu hurriedly stopped her: "Concubine, I'm not angry."
Knowing she was trying to save face, Ye Wanshu was not insensitive and explained earnestly, "Your Highness, it's not easy being at the border. It's true that only Lord Ji can handle the resettlement of the prisoners of war. Your Majesty is well aware of this."
After a pause, she continued, "It's just that at this critical juncture, handing this hot potato to Master Ji is indeed putting him in a difficult position."
Concubine Zhang knew this very well. She smiled and took her hand in hers. "I know that the court will never forget his contributions to Daye."
Her eyes drifted to her bulging belly, and Concubine Zhang said with a look of distress, "Wan'er, you've been busy enough these days. Just focus on taking care of your baby. Your uncle and aunt will not ignore what happens to Ji Yunzedong. Let them deal with it."
She had already known that her brother-in-law was planning a marriage between Yingying and that nerd. Yu'e was ignorant of the situation, but Zhao Yun had a very sharp eye. He knew that Ji Yunze would be favored by His Majesty and would achieve great things sooner or later.
If the whole family wanted to return to Lin'an as soon as possible, they could only spare no effort to help Ji Yunze succeed.
After hearing what Concubine Zhang said, Ye Wanshu's heart gradually settled down.
She has done everything she can right now. If anything goes wrong again, she will be powerless.
Caressing her belly, Ye Wanshu smiled faintly and nodded, "Don't worry, Concubine Dowager, I will give birth to the child safely."
"That's more like it."
Concubine Zhang personally took care of her and helped her drink the pregnancy-maintaining medicine. She helped her lie down on the bed, and gave instructions to the maids who stayed in the mansion to take care of her. Then she took A Ni away.
Perhaps because she was pregnant, Ye Wanshu felt very sleepy as soon as the room became quiet. But thinking of the box full of letters, she forced herself to open the box, took out the letters and read them carefully.
The content of each letter was not long, but as she read it slowly, she could feel Fu Mingchi's longing for her.
She read until night before finishing the letter. She was a little angry with him at first, but thinking about everything she had experienced along the way, Ye Wanshu felt only endless warmth in her heart.
Thinking about it carefully, although many things were still not satisfactory in her new life, she gained the warmth that she had never had in her previous life.
Now she just wants to keep all of this well.
I was staring at the letter on the bed in a daze when Chunhong suddenly walked in.
Seeing Ye Wanshu lying on a bed covered with papers, completely sleepless, Chunhong couldn't help but cover her mouth and said, "Miss, please ask this servant to prepare pen and ink to reply to His Highness."
Ye Wanshu hesitated for a long time, but finally gave up the idea.
Perhaps she hadn't figured out how to express her longing for him, or perhaps she was dissatisfied with Fu Mingchi's actions this time. She didn't want that bastard to get what he wanted so easily, so she didn't pick up the pen after all.
But in the days that followed, she couldn't help but take out the letter and read it over and over again in her free time.
......
Spring goes and winter comes, and three years pass in the blink of an eye.
News of victory from the border frequently reached Lin'an. Upon learning that Fu Mingchi had led the army to recapture the Northern Capital, Emperor Zhaolie was overjoyed and held a grand banquet in the palace to reward the troops.
Early in the morning, Ye Wanshu had people prepare carriages and horses, ready to go to the city gate to personally welcome the returning army.
"Mother, can we see our father today?"
In front of the mansion gate, Mu Qingqing and Chu Yin came out with two little kids.
Glancing at the two naughty kids who were bounding towards her, Ye Wanshu bent down and smiled at the siblings, "Of course."
She had been looking forward to this day for a long time.
Fu Mingchi hadn't sent her any letters in the past few years. She guessed that the bastard had secretly written a lot of letters and hid them in the small box as usual.
"But my great-uncle said that my sister and I must return to the palace immediately after meeting my father," said the emperor's eldest grandson, Fu Ling'an, pouting. "My great-uncle said that my sister and I must stay by his side every day from now on."
"Mother, can you please talk to my great-uncle? I don't want to accompany him today. I miss mother and father." Fu Lingyue pleaded with a bitter face.
