Chapter 205 Return to Daily Life
1The Birth of Zong Ying
Ning Fu became pregnant with a daughter when she accompanied Zong Si to the north.
Only when she arrived in the north did Ning Fu understand what he meant by the dangerous conditions. It was much more difficult than when they were outside the Great Wall, especially water, which was a big problem.
Now that the couple has a good relationship, Ning Fu is willing to follow Zong Si around to have a look. In her last life, he was so cold, she really didn't want to go out with him, it would only make her more bored.
Moreover, the guarding is much stricter.
Qu Yang has now been promoted and married to Zhang He. Now in the north, Ning Fu has run into her several times. Zhang He always looks a little embarrassed, but is still very friendly and will bring her some food.
She was too embarrassed to come herself, so she asked her maid or Qu Yang to send her off.
Ning Fu would not take the initiative to look for her. It was not that she disliked her, but after all, what happened in the past, it was better not to meet.
Apart from hanging out with Zongduo and his wife on a daily basis, Ningfu's only way to pass the time was to have sex with Zong Sixing.
Zong Si really liked those things in the boudoir and never got tired of going there every day. Sometimes, just a serious look from her would make him come closer.
In fact, most of the time, Ningfu didn't think much about this matter, but she couldn't resist him. When she was provoked and seduced by him, she would naturally react, and he would criticize her for being dishonest.
Before leaving the capital, she met with Wei Ziyi. When the two were chatting about private matters, Wei Ziyi mentioned that she and Ning Yu had sex less often than before after they gave birth to their child.
"It's the same for ordinary couples. It doesn't necessarily mean that the man has changed his mind. He just lost interest in this matter. As time goes by, the love between men and women turns into family affection. In two years, you and the prince will be like this, but you don't have to take it too seriously. It's okay as long as a man doesn't take concubines or look at other women." Wei Ziyi said to her.
Ning Fu actually hoped that this day would come soon. In her previous life, she was separated from Zong Si, and she was thinking about this. In this life, it happened too frequently and she was tired every day.
But right now, it's still early.
That day, Nymph was in the side hall where he was working, and he pulled her aside for some intimacy.
"If someone finds out, will the prince still have dignity?" If she is unhappy, she will call him prince.
"Who dares to approach the side hall?" Zong Si didn't care and helped her put on a clean dress.
"You have to train soldiers every day, how can you have the energy?" Nymph bit her lip and looked at him, "Aren't you tired?"
"Tired." Zong Si thought seriously for a moment, and then said, "So I asked you to accompany me to relax."
It turned out that what she found tiring was relaxing for him.
"I want to go back to Beijing."
"You've been dreaming of coming to the North for two lifetimes. Now that you're here, just have some fun." Zong Si regretted coming to the North so late. If he had known that here, no one would distract her and she could always accompany him, he should have let her come earlier.
"You are just lustful." Nymph glared at him.
"You just found out today." Zong Si frowned and looked sideways. "I never deny this in front of you."
“…”
So, between their rich married life where one was proactive and enthusiastic, and the other half was reluctant, their daughter Zong Ying came into being.
Zong Si was in the military camp that day and didn't know why everyone was suddenly restless. When he turned around, he found that it was his beautiful and charming Crown Prince's Consort who came.
He glanced at the soldiers who were looking around curiously, then took the nymph back to the tent and kept her out of sight.
"Why are you suddenly in the military camp?" Zong Si poured her some water. It was a long way from where she lived.
Ning Fu said: "I really have to go back to Beijing. I'm pregnant."
Not long after, the princess of the prince's mansion was born. When Zong Jin, who was already three years old, saw his sister, he loved her very much.
It’s only one month old, but it’s already very cute, with those big watery eyes that will melt anyone’s heart.
"My sister is so pretty." said Zong Jin.
"It's up to your mother." Zong Si curled the corners of his mouth. His daughter was naturally the most beautiful. No one in the whole capital could compare to her. Just like Zong Jin, who was only three years old, when he was taken out, people would often exclaim, saying they had never seen such a beautiful child.
Zong Jin didn't say anything at first. When Ning Fu came over, he suddenly asked Zong Si: "Dad, who do you think is prettier, mother or sister?"
Zong Si glanced at his son and saw that he was smiling, obviously trying to cause trouble for his father.
"Of course your mother is beautiful." Zong Si said calmly. His daughter couldn't understand what he said at the moment, and even if she did, his wife was the most beautiful.
Xiao Zong Jin curled his lips, it was so boring.
He likes it most when mom and dad have a quarrel, because then mom can sleep with him at night. Dad is good in every way except that he monopolizes mom every day and never gives her the time she wants.
Zong Si looked at his son and saw a look of loss in his eyes.
That night, when he finished washing up and was getting ready for bed, the door of his room was pushed open.
Little Zong Jin felt someone lifted his quilt. He rubbed his eyes and found that it was his father who picked him up.
"Daddy." He hugged Zong Si's neck, "Where are you taking me?"
"How many words did you learn today?" Zong Si asked.
"I have learned everything the teacher taught me." Little Zong Jin said with some pride. The teacher praised him for his intelligence every day and was also enthusiastic in teaching him to read.
“Although you have learned everything, you must not become proud and complacent. There are always people better than you. It is extremely important to remain humble.” Zong Si said.
Xiao Zong Jin nodded and said: "Where are you taking me?"
"Don't you want to sleep with your mother?" Zong Si pinched his little nose and said, "Daddy has something to do today, so I'll take you to sleep with your mother."
"Daddy is so nice." Little Zong Jin was very happy.
Zong Si’s nature of doting on his children is something he really can’t change.
2 The Little Devil
Zong Ying's appearance was like that of Nyingfu. She had been a sweet lady with a delicate figure since she was young. When she was five years old, she was loved by everyone.
Zong Si felt even more distressed to the core. He originally thought that he had done his best to pamper Zong Jin, but his pampering for Zong Ying was even greater.
As long as Zong Ying's eyes were filled with tears, her lips were pursed, and she said "Daddy" in a sad voice, Zong Si would let her do whatever she wanted and would want to give her everything.
In addition, Princess Xuan is almost on par with Zong Si, and her food, clothing and other expenses are even more luxurious than those of the princesses in the palace.
She became a little devil, but she looked harmless. All the princes in the palace had suffered at her hands.
If you make the prince angry, you will just call out pitifully, "Brother Prince."
Meng Jin was angry but had no place to vent, so he could only put on a cold face from time to time.
Although the little devil is a mischievous boy, he has excellent vision, otherwise he could have tricked her father into saying sorry all the time.
Meng Jin turned and left.
The Queen Mother was smiling. Her son suffered a loss. Now she was no longer thinking about Xiao Zong Jin. She was more thinking about taking Afu back to her son.
But Zong Si was on high alert.
Jingcheng said to Mengjin: "Aying will be your queen in the future, so what's wrong with you giving way to her?"
Meng Jin said coldly: "I don't want her to be my queen. I only treat her as my sister."
Jing Cheng snorted coldly, "You only think like this now. When you are older, you will only thank your mother for her wisdom. In a few years, you will have many competitors. If your mother doesn't keep an eye on you now, you will regret it in the future."
Meng Jincai didn't believe it and said, "No need."
Jingcheng said: "That's fine, I'll take care of it for your second brother."
Meng Qin nodded hurriedly and said: "Okay, okay, mother will take care of it for me." Zong Ying's sister is very capable, and it is an honor to be associated with her.
Meng Jin looked at his second brother. He was stupid because he was still young. He would regret it when he grew up.
Ten years later, some people regretted it, but it was not Meng Qin who regretted it. Some people were unwilling to accept that he was the prince, handsome, talented, and their childhood sweetheart, but why did she still refuse to even look at him, and instead fell in love with some young scholar.
She asked him with a smile: "Brother Crown Prince, can you help me capture him? In return, I will introduce you to the most beautiful lady in the capital. How about that?"
Meng Jin almost made it clear: "The most beautiful lady in the capital is you." He wants her, so don't think about that little scholar. He is the prince, and his parents are reasonable, so he can marry one in the future.
"I'm not." Zong Ying patted his shoulder. "The fifth daughter of the Shangshu family is much more beautiful than me. She and the prince are a perfect match. Last time, she sent cakes to the prince. Do you remember?"
Meng Jin didn't want to listen to her anymore and said coldly: "I don't remember."
"See it a few more times and you'll remember it."
Meng Jin: "..."
"If I really can't woo that young scholar, I'll have to find a husband for myself. If that doesn't work, I'll look for Meng Qin. He should agree to me without hesitation." Zong Ying is not someone who would risk her life for a man. There are men everywhere.
He just says things that make people want to hang themselves.
Meng Jin said: "It's not like Meng Qin is the only one who will agree to you without hesitation."
Zong Ying looked at him and kindly reminded him: "Brother Crown Prince, you told me before not to have any ideas about you and to play with Meng Qin more. I remember everything you said. Don't change your mind. I won't go back to you."
You see, she clearly knew everything, but she just pretended to know nothing. She was so perceptive, how could she not understand his obvious feelings? Everyone could see it.
He was just deliberately admiring his regret, deliberately mentioning the young scholar, and deliberately mentioning Meng Qin, just to make fun of him to death.
There was no way Meng Jin could beat her. He couldn't stand any tricks she did.
"I was wrong, Ah Ying," Meng Jin said, "I was blind and overestimated myself. I just didn't understand at the time."
Zong Ying blinked and said, "I gave my brother the crown prince a chance, but I really won't go back. Daddy said that I can choose any man in the capital."
The same selection as choosing a concubine
Meng Jin almost knelt down to her.
Later, the prince acted like a noble prince in front of others, but he did a lot of jealous things behind the scenes. He felt like he had become a male concubine.
That’s all in the past.
Jing Cheng sighed in her heart. She was just thinking about it. Zong Si would be very difficult to deal with.
However, the little devil Zong Ying is a good baby in front of her dear mother.
Zong Ying knew exactly who had the most say in the entire Duke's Mansion. Although it was her father in name only, in reality, it was her mother.
Therefore, the little devil obeys Nymph's orders.
When Nymph Pope Ying read poetry, she studied very seriously.
"Mom, I miss my brother." Zong Ying and Zong Jin, brother and sister, have a very good relationship. When Zong Jin was seven years old, he was sent to the military camp to practice sword. Although Zong Si dotes on his child, he will not spoil him.
"You will be able to see your brother after the New Year." Nymph said.
Zong Ying said: "You and Daddy, give me another sister."
When Zong Si returned and heard this, he thought it was a good suggestion.
Nymph said, don't even think about it.
But at night, the bed in Jinghuaju made noises for a long time again.
Until now, Zong Si is still very passionate about this matter.
3. The couple had a quarrel
Zong Si has always been very accommodating to Ning Fu, and the two of them haven't quarreled very often.
Only this time, he was injured and the wounds were quite hideous. After returning to Beijing to recuperate, Nymph refused his sexual advances for half a month, which made him look unhappy.
In the next two days, he spoke very little, but he would answer whatever Nymph asked. In Nymph's opinion, he was silent only because he was injured and had no energy.
Even on the carriage back to the Duke's Mansion, he kept his eyes closed and rested.
However, he was still very enthusiastic towards his mother-in-law.
Zong Si drank some wine that day.
When Ning Fu was urging him to drink, she realized that he said coldly that she didn't need to bother with him, and she paused for a moment.
Madam Ning also glanced at the two of them for a second, but she didn't take it to heart. It was common for young couples to quarrel.
Zong Si drank a little too much, and Ning Fu helped him get into the carriage.
After drinking, he talked more.
"It's my wound that is ugly," Zong Si asked.
Nymph said: "Not ugly."
"Then why do you keep rejecting me?" Zong Si looked at her solemnly.
Nymph was stunned.
"Don't you like me anymore?" he asked hoarsely, and if you listened carefully, you could hear that he sounded aggrieved.
Nymph went over to hug him and coaxed him, "Of course not, you are injured and I want you to have a good rest." Of course, he was also injured and she had to do the hard work. It was too tiring and Nymph could not bear it.
"Does the lady like me?" Zong Si continued to ask.
In response, he received a kiss from the nymph.
Come on, I might as well give it to him.
At first, Zong Si couldn't believe that Ning Fu could be so generous, but she was a very skilled kisser. After being married for so many years, she knew exactly what Zong Si liked.
Soon Zong Si had no time to think about anything and just let her "do whatever she wanted".
The two of them fooled around in the carriage for a while, and Nymph helped.
So Zong Si was coaxed into submission.
It's really tiring to coax people.
4 The moment when the memory came back
The moment Lu Xing died, Zong Si's head began to hurt terribly.
He had no choice but to endure it in order to protect Nymph. He had just experienced the massacre inside the pass and he didn't trust anyone.
Although he is usually calm, he can't help but feel a little nervous at this moment.
He took a short rest only after Ning Zheng's injuries were healed and he came to watch over the people for him.
In the dream, he dreamed of many things that Lu Xingzhi had done for Ning Fu in this life, such as going to Liangzhou and protecting her by her side. What was even more strange was that Meng Ze saw these things from the first-person perspective, as if he was Lu Xingzhi.
After waking up, Zong Si had a guess. Perhaps the memories of Zong Si in his previous life slowly returned to him. After all, he was himself. Lu Xingzhi was dead, so it was reasonable for those memories to come back.
But he was not sure at the moment, so he did not make it public.
After returning to the capital, he dreamed about his previous life, especially about his relationship with Lu Xingzhi. Qu Yang sometimes joked with him, "The prince sometimes looks a lot like Mr. Lu."
Zong Si didn't say anything. When he went to the teahouse to pick up Ning Fu that day, she was in a trance for a moment. She must have sensed some familiarity in him.
The more he thought about his previous life, the more it would resemble that life.
But he didn't remember everything after all, and he was afraid that Nymph would be happy for nothing, so he still concealed some things.
Later he went out of Beijing on business.
That night, he dreamed of another self. Although he had the same face as himself, the expression was the same as that on Lu Xingzhi's face.
"Can I come back?" he inquired.
Zong Si said: "I am you." He also wanted to know about his previous life. What's more, Afu always remembered him. Even if it was himself, Zong Si couldn't bear to see her thinking about another self.
After waking up, he remembered everything.
To him, those memories were just his experiences in another life, just like a reborn nymph, both the last life and this life were him.
Zong Si broke out in a cold sweat as he recalled his memories.
He didn't dare to do that to Afu.
He was also heartbroken by Afu's death. The regret and sorrow were so deep that he swore in his heart that he must treat her better.
After that, he returned to Beijing without stopping and told Ning Fu about it.
In this life, we must leave no regrets.
