Xiao Hechuan almost cried with joy. He held Jiang Sui's hand, brought it close to his face, and said with a sob:
"Thank you Sui Sui, having you is the greatest blessing in my life!"
Jiang Sui felt an indescribable sense of satisfaction when he saw him like this:
"Being with you is the best decision I have ever made in my life."
The couple's love and affection infected everyone present, and everyone envied the relationship between the lady and the master.
Because she was pregnant, Xiao Hechuan took even better care of Jiang Sui. He served her soup, arranged dishes, and patiently helped her remove fish bones. He was even more diligent than he was when he was working in the Hanlin Academy.
"I have to write a letter home right away to tell my parents that you are pregnant. Mom has been hoping that we can have a child soon. Now she can rest assured."
Before returning to Kyoto, Xiao's mother had always told Xiao Hechuan that after they and his wife settled down, they should have a child as soon as possible so that they could have their own little family.
Now, his three older brothers and his only younger sister all have their own families, leaving him behind.
After dinner, he lit the candlesticks in the study and wrote a letter home.
Seeing that Xiao Lanlan would be giving birth soon, he and Suisui prepared birth gifts for the child, a pair of gold bracelets and a Ruyi gold necklace, which would be brought to Jeju along with this letter from home.
In addition, he also prepared gifts for everyone in the family. He found some good books and poetry collections from the Hanlin Academy and copied them down, planning to send them back to Jeju to Yuan Ge'er to help him with his studies.
Yuan Ge'er loves reading and has good talent. I hope this can be of help to him.
The eldest sister-in-law's Ruyi Hairpin Shop and the third sister-in-law's Ronghua Rouge Shop have opened one after another, and business is pretty good.
Perhaps it was because the Xiao family had always been very successful in doing business, or perhaps it was because of Xiao Hechuan. He was the Xiao family's living signboard, and the people of Jeju were willing to support him and take care of the business.
Ever since Jiang Sui became pregnant, she has received the attention and care of the whole family. Jiang comes to her almost every day to chat with her and keep her company. She doesn't care what outsiders think about her going to her son-in-law's house every day. She has finally found her daughter, and she just wants to accompany her.
Cheng Moyang also found different ways to find some interesting and fun things for her, including food and drinks. As long as they were fresh and novel, he would send them all to Zhuangyuan Mansion.
Xia Wanning would come to see her from time to time. When she heard that she was pregnant, she was very excited and declared on the spot that she would become her relative no matter what.
There was no news about her own pregnancy yet, but she was already thinking about the baby in Jiang Sui's belly.
In Xia Wanning's words, the child of Jiang Sui and Xiao Hechuan will definitely be very beautiful and will inherit the good genes of their parents. With such good genes, she naturally has to take advantage of it and act first.
Jiang Sui is now living the life she dreamed of, so she is very satisfied with everything.
…
Seven days later, the royal hunting trip began, headed by the emperor. He brought the empress, four concubines, three princes in Kyoto, many ministers from aristocratic families, and the families of officials. The scene was grand.
It takes one day to get from Kyoto to the hunting ground, and the advance team had already set up camp three days in advance.
Jiang Sui cannot go, and Jiang also decides to stay in Kyoto. Xuanping Hou, Cheng Moyang, and Xiao Hechuan must go.
Moreover, Xiao Hechuan was the emperor's chosen companion.
This royal hunting trip lasted for three days, plus the two days of traveling back and forth, a total of five days.
A team led by Cheng Moyang is responsible for protecting the little princess' safety in the hunting ground.
The two princesses of Daqing were both from the imperial palace and had noble status. The eldest princess was already married and had a prince consort. There was also a little princess named Anle, who was only seventeen years old this year. The emperor had always intended to find a prince consort for her.
Princess Anle is the emperor's favorite little princess. She is smart, lively and cheerful, and her brothers are also very fond of her.
Princess Anle had very high requirements for choosing a prince consort. The emperor had selected several candidates for her, but she didn't like any of them.
Before, when he knew that Xiao Hechuan was already married, he asked someone to copy Xiao Hechuan's portrait, and showed it to her, asking her if she liked it.
With Xiao Hechuan's appearance, normally few women would not be moved by him. But our Princess Anle just took a look at him, shook her head and said she didn't like him.
Setting out from the palace, Cheng Moyang put on his armor and led his guard team to guard Princess Anle's carriage.
He had a serious face and sat upright on his horse, paying attention to any movement around him.
There were a large number of people on this trip, so the Yulin Army evacuated the people first on the road that the emperor had to pass.
One reason was to prevent any danger from happening, because Daqing had only been established for over a hundred years, the remnants of the previous dynasty had not been completely cleared out, and many people were still dreaming of restoring their country.
They spontaneously formed gangs, hid in any corner of Daqing, and came out to cause trouble from time to time.
After the emperor leaves Kyoto, he needs to be more careful. The imperial guards will surround the emperor with three layers of troops inside and three layers of troops outside. Not even a fly can get close to his ear.
Cheng Moyang was very cautious along the way, but what troubled him was that this little princess was really too troublesome and had too many things to do!
When they were in the city, she asked him to sneak into the streets that had not been evacuated to buy delicious food for her. After leaving the city, if she saw beautiful flowers not far away, she asked him to pick some. If the flowers were not wrapped beautifully, the little princess would be unhappy, and then he would go to pick new ones.
Cheng Moyang frowned, but didn't dare to frown too much. He could only do whatever the princess asked him to do.
Of course, the little princess did more than that along the way. For example, halfway through the journey, she suddenly wanted to ride a horse and didn't want to sit in the carriage anymore.
Cheng Moyang can't agree with her. This is not a joke. If the little princess gets hurt, he won't be able to explain to the emperor.
His Majesty dotes on the little princess so much and protects her like the apple of his eye. If something happens to her, wouldn't he be guilty?
At that time, don't let his father be implicated and punished as well. The key is that there is also his brother-in-law. Now is a critical time for his promotion and he can't let anything go wrong because of him.
So, when the convoy stopped to rest, he could only kneel on one knee in front of the princess's carriage and apologize:
"Your Highness, the mountain road is difficult to travel. You are a precious precious person, so you must not take it lightly. You can ride to the paddock. It will not be too late to ride to a flat place."
