Lu Xingzhou took Chen Liyue back to Prince Yi's Mansion. While sitting in the house eating, Chen Liyue breathed a sigh of relief.
After running around outside for so many days, although Lu Xingzhou never owed Shen Liyue anything in terms of food and clothing and took care of her in every way, it was still not as safe and secure as being at home.
Lu Xingzhou had been busy outside all day, and he changed the medicine on his arm only after he came back. At dinner, Lu Xingzhou wanted to ask Shen Liyue to feed him, and Shen Liyue did not refuse.
The meal was almost finished when Shen Liyue suddenly remembered something.
"That's not right. When you were having dinner with your father and mother in the palace, your arms were able to move, right?" Shen Liyue thought of this and stared at Lu Xingzhou with wide eyes.
Lu Xingzhou said aggrievedly, "Isn't this because I'm afraid that Father and Mother will see that I'm injured and worry? In fact, I'm in so much pain!"
Chen Liyue rolled her eyes at him, knowing in her heart that Lu Xingzhou was probably pretending in front of her. It hurt with the wound, but it was definitely not so painful that he couldn't use chopsticks to eat.
Shen Liyue knew in her heart that Lu Xingzhou was probably acting like a spoiled child in front of her. Shen Liyue sighed. What could she do? She should just spoil the man she married.
After dinner, Lu Xingzhou originally planned to take Chen Liyue to rest early, but Lian Dong and Yu Zhou brought the account books of the shop outside for the past few months. Chen Liyue was a person who wanted to finish today's work, so she sat at the desk and looked at the account books.
There is nothing wrong with the account book. Lian Dong and Yu Zhou are both veterans. They follow the accounting methods taught by Chen Liyue, and Chen Liyue is very confident in them.
After reading the account book, Lu Xingzhou pulled Shen Liyue to bed again.
"It's inconvenient." Shen Liyue glanced at Lu Xingzhou unhappily.
"What's wrong?" Lu Xingzhou asked curiously.
"My period has come today." Shen Liyue felt a little embarrassed and her face turned red.
Lu Xingzhou sighed and lay down, "Maybe I'm not working hard enough."
Shen Liyue's face flushed again and again. In fact, her sexual life with Lu Xingzhou had always been normal, but they had been married for several months, so why was there no movement in her belly?
Shen Liyue hadn't thought about it this way before, after all, she was not very old, but now Wei Rushu was also pregnant, and they got married almost at the same time, so Shen Liyue became a little worried.
Shen Liyue pulled Lu Xingzhou over and said, "How about...we ask your master to take a look at me?"
Lu Xingzhou smiled and embraced Chen Liyue. "I was just saying that. You don't have to feel any pressure. Besides, we haven't been married for long. Even if you can't get pregnant in a few years, it's not too late to try again."
Although Lu Xingzhou said so, Shen Liyue was still worried. Lu Xingzhou was a prince, and she couldn't let him be without descendants. Even if Lu Xingzhou didn't say anything, the emperor and empress in the palace would be anxious.
Lu Xingzhou is already several years older than Chen Liyue. Now that they are finally married, the emperor and queen hope most that they can have a child.
Seeing that Shen Liyue was still frowning, Lu Xingzhou comforted her slowly, "Don't worry, maybe the fate between this child and us has not yet arrived. When the fate arrives, it will come naturally."
Shen Liyue nodded, knowing that Lu Xingzhou was trying to comfort her, so she said nothing more, but then she remembered something else.
"Before we went to Northern Frontier, Third Aunt came to ask me to find a husband for Chen Liqing, but we were delayed there. I wonder what's going on now?"
Lu Xingzhou smiled and said, "If you could worry less, you might be able to get pregnant sooner."
Shen Liyue glared at Lu Xingzhou and smiled herself.
After thinking about it, he decided to call Shen Liqing over tomorrow to ask her in person.
Early the next morning, Shen Liyue sent someone to call Shen Liqing over.
Shen Liqing arrived soon. After greeting Shen Liyue, she smiled and asked, "Sister, what do you want to talk to me about today?"
Chen Liyue pulled her over and said, "My third aunt asked me to find you a marriage partner, but it got delayed because of my trip to the Northern Frontier. Do you have anyone you like?"
Shen Liqing blushed slightly, "There's no rush for this."
Shen Liyue thought to herself, you are not anxious, but Third Aunt is very anxious.
Chen Liyue just smiled without saying anything. Chen Liqing blushed and stammered, "During this period of time... my mother also took me to see a few families."
"Really? Do you have anyone you like?" Shen Liyue asked.
Shen Liqing shook her head. Her status as a mother was limited, and none of the people she saw were to her liking.
Chen Liyue said, "I've been accompanying the prince in the army for some time now, and I've also looked for you. There's a man named Zhang Yongjin, a lieutenant general. Although his current rank isn't very high, the prince and I both think he's quite good and has great potential in the future. Would you like to meet him?"
Chen Liqing felt a little disappointed. She wanted to marry someone like the prince. If her elder sister could marry him in terms of family background, why couldn't she?
Even if she couldn't marry a prince like her elder sister, she had to at least marry a marquis. In short, she had to have a title. Now her elder sister only introduced her to a lieutenant general, and Shen Liqing was very unwilling.
Shen Liqing lowered his head and said nothing, a trace of loneliness on his face.
Chen Liyue saw through her thoughts and said softly, "Although Zhang Yongjin's official position is not high at the moment, he is extremely talented and highly regarded by the prince. His future is limitless. Moreover, I heard from the prince that this person has a good character and is a person worthy of trust."
Shen Liqing remained silent, as if in silent protest.
Chen Liyue held her hand and said earnestly, "Sister, when it comes to marriage, being well-matched is certainly important, but what's more important is mutual understanding between the two. Don't blindly pursue power and wealth while ignoring true love."
Shen Liqing still lowered his head and said nothing.
Chen Liyue sighed. Never mind. Marriage cannot be forced. If Chen Liqing herself doesn't want to, then it will be useless for her to persuade her.
Chen Liyue asked a few questions about whether her family was okay. Chen Liqing responded a few times, and then Chen Liyue stopped asking and sent someone to send Chen Liqing back.
Chen Liyue was not in a hurry to see her parents. Firstly, she had just returned from Northern Frontier and Lu Xingzhou had a lot of things to do. Secondly, Lu Xingzhou had made great contributions in regaining Northern Frontier, and the palace was going to hold a celebration banquet.
Not only Lu Xingzhou, but all the soldiers who went to the Northern Frontier will be rewarded. Chen Wangqiu and Jiang will also go there at that time, so they will naturally be able to see it.
The palace banquet was scheduled for the third day after they returned. Chen Liyue dressed up early in the morning and entered the palace with Lu Xingzhou.
The palace banquet also had separate seats for men and women. The queen sympathized with Shen Liyue for not having seen her parents for many days, so she specially arranged for Shen Liyue and Jiang to sit at the same table.
Seeing Shen Liyue, Jiang couldn't help but tears welled up in her eyes again.
Although she knew that Shen Liyue would not suffer any hardship following Lu Xingzhou along the way, a mother worries about her child even when he is thousands of miles away. As a mother, how could Jiang not worry?
