Then, they brought Zhu Xinning, Yu Xiangrong, Zhang Xiaoyu, Qingqiu, Zhou Ziqiong, and Lin Wan'er, all six women, back to Jiangling.
From then on, all of Jing Zhe's women, who were also his sisters—his eldest sister Lu Li, second sister Zhu Xinning, third sister Qingqiu, fourth sister Pei Yunxi, fifth sister Liu Jinghong, sixth sister Zhou Ziqiong, and seventh sister Lin Wan'er—arrived in Jingzhou.
Besides the seven of them, there was also Su Mochen, the new emperor of Anguo; Yu Xiangrong, the adorable baby; Mu Qingren and Wang Yingqiu, the master and apprentice of Wuxian Pavilion; and Zhang Xiaoyu, the beauty of the winery.
Afterwards, Jing Zhe led a portion of the Jinghong Iron Cavalry to Jinxi, where they wiped out the remnants of Tongtianque and the Dark Night Envoy, killed Su Xinping, and returned to Ruzhou. He then ordered the killing of the Yu King and his son, before taking Qiu Qianqian and the pregnant Murong Xi back to Jingzhou.
Jing Zhe equipped all the Thunderclap Cannons obtained from clearing the battlefield to the Jinghong Iron Cavalry, and divided the Jinghong Iron Cavalry into four parts: one part returned to Liangzhou, one part stayed in Jinxi, one part went to Jiangling, and the last part was stationed in Jingzhou.
The Jinghong Iron Cavalry were already brave and skilled in attack, and after being equipped with the Jinglei Cannon, their ability to defend the city was greatly enhanced, deterring foreign invaders.
Jing Zhe then led his troops to Southern Qi. With Qi Jun Guang dead, Southern Qi was leaderless, and Jing Zhe easily took over Southern Qi. He directly appointed someone as the puppet emperor of Southern Qi, making Southern Qi a vassal state of Anguo, and subject to Anguo's orders.
When Jing Zhe finished all this and returned to Jingzhou, Murong Xi's belly was already quite big, and the old Jing family mansion had been completely demolished and rebuilt. Each woman had her own room, and Jing Zhe also had a large room of his own. There was nothing else in the room except a large kang (heated brick bed), which perfectly satisfied his desire to sleep with his wife.
Jing Zhe made a lot for each woman, and every night he would draw a few lots to decide who would "serve him in bed." Of course, he also had two free days out of every seven days, since even the donkeys in the production team couldn't work seven days straight...
After a major reshuffle, Yueyao Kingdom remained independent under the leadership of Chuxia, while Nanqi and Xijiang became vassal states of Anguo. As for Anguo, although Su Mochen was the empress, her responsibilities diminished as her pregnancy progressed, while Jing Zhe gradually became the undisputed head of Anguo's court.
From then on, with the war over, whether it was Anguo, Yueyaoguo, or Nanqi and Xijiang, they all entered a period of peaceful development, which the people talked about with great interest.
All of this is thanks to Jing Zhe.
...
The ninth day of the tenth lunar month, Minor Snow.
This autumn was colder than usual.
This was the day Murong Xi was due to give birth. Jing Zhe and her many sisters were waiting anxiously outside. Su Mochen was also more than six months pregnant and had stopped attending court.
As a clear cry rang out, Jing Zhe, who had been pacing back and forth in the courtyard, finally breathed a sigh of relief. He had never been this nervous before, not even when he participated in the martial arts tournament.
Congratulations, President Jing, on the arrival of your precious daughter!
The midwife came out of the house and smiled at Jing Zhe.
Jing Zhe asked Gui Zhi to prepare red envelopes for them as a token of gratitude, but Chu Xia, standing next to him, pouted and said, "It should be to congratulate our Yueyao Kingdom on having a next empress!"
Since the beginning of October, the newly appointed Empress Chu Xia of Yueyao Kingdom has arrived in Jingzhou to stay by Murong Xi's side.
Jing Zhe glanced at Chu Xia and said, "You've been out for so long, aren't you going back yet?"
"What's the rush? I still want to take the little princess back with me!"
"Then you'll have to wait another ten years or so?"
"..."
After saying that, Jing Zhe ignored her and went inside, while the other sisters had already gone in to see Jing Zhe's first child.
When Jing Zhe entered the room, more than a dozen women were already scrambling to hold the swaddled baby, causing the baby to cry. After being scolded by Lu Li, the baby could only be gently handed over to Lu Li.
Among these women, apart from Murong Xi, Lu Li was the oldest, and given her status as the eldest sister, the other women trusted her quite a bit.
Jing Zhe then walked to the bedside.
Murong Xi, who had just given birth, was pale but in good spirits. After Jing Zhe held her hand, Murong Xi looked up and asked, "Husband, have you chosen a name for her yet?"
Jing Zhe thought for a moment and said, "Let's call her Ru Meng!"
As he spoke, Jing Zhe stood up, took his daughter from Lu Li's arms, and watched her open her eyes and look at him. Although the child was too young, he could still see the shadows of him and Murong Xi in her eyes. Jing Zhe felt that the past year's experience was really like a dream.
"Yes, to be able to marry you is truly like a dream!"
"..."
