"You can go to the princess's mansion to see the child, and the guards will not stop you."
For the first time in her life, Mrs. Hou felt regretful. If she had been a little more humble when her son first brought Xu Zhiyi and the three children home, she might be able to see her grandchildren every day now.
Ouch, her head started to hurt again. She leaned back in the chair with one hand on her temple.
Lu Yanli glanced at Defu, and Defu stepped forward and picked up the two young masters.
Lu Yanli also stepped forward, picked up Nian Nian, and said to his mother:
"I will bring the children back to see you often."
Niannian also waved to her grandmother, which was the gesture her mother often used when saying goodbye to her father.
The more obedient they were, the more uncomfortable the Marquis's wife felt, and she waited until they left.
Turning around, he asked Aunt Yu:
"Did I do something wrong?"
Yu Mama didn't dare to say that she was wrong, so she could only say:
“If the mountain doesn’t come to you, then go to it. It’s the same.”
The Marquis's wife was still very angry when she thought that if she moved into the princess's mansion, wouldn't the whole family be married into the princess's family?
Not long after Lu Yanli and Xu Zhiyi moved there, their marriage was arranged.
Unexpectedly, one morning, Xu Zhiyi smelled the fishy smell of Niannian goat milk and vomited it out.
Suddenly, Nian Nian couldn't drink goat milk anymore.
He took the handkerchief in his hand and handed it to her.
Lu Yanli also patted her back, remembering what the nanny had said when Xu Zhiyi escaped: "Young women will vomit in the early stages of pregnancy."
He brought a glass of water and asked Xu Zhiyi to rinse his mouth.
With sparkling eyes he said:
"Is it happening again?"
Xu Zhiyi felt that it should be the case. Lu Yanli was so strong, so he should be quite good at swimming.
De Fu hurried out to call a doctor.
After the doctor took her pulse and confirmed that she was indeed pregnant, Lu Yanli stayed by her side every day.
She didn't even have the freedom to pour a glass of water, as Lu Yanli took care of everything.
This made her feel like she was not pregnant, but like she had lost her ability to move.
Not only did Lu Yanli not allow Xu Zhiyi to touch her, he also began to feel anxious.
She was especially worried when talking about getting married. That day would be quite eventful, and she wondered if her body could handle it.
He was also afraid that if he told Xu Zhiyi, she would think too much and blame him for not wanting to get married.
After hesitating for a long time, he finally spoke to Xu Zhiyi.
It turned out that he was overthinking it. Xu Zhiyi didn't think too much about it. She also rejected his request for postponement and said to him:
"You are a general after all, living in the princess's mansion, you should be given a status, otherwise it means nothing."
Lu Yanli thought so too. At least after the grand ceremony, the world would know that he and Princess Zhaoyang were husband and wife.
When the news of the pregnancy reached the palace, the queen was overjoyed, as she could finally make up for her failure as a mother.
She specially assigned two people from the imperial kitchen to serve the princess's meals, and also selected many jewels to give to the princess as a token of her favor.
These days, the secret guards had already found out what Xu Zhiyi had experienced in the past ten years, and she sent people to deal with the couple.
It turned out that they had visited the couple's village and tortured them, and the couple confessed that they had picked up the princess by a small river.
At that time, notices were posted all over the country, but they did not report to the authorities. When questioned, they said that they saw the child was dressed so well and thought he was the child of an ordinary landlord and could be exchanged for gold and silver.
They didn't expect it was the princess. When they knew about the notice, they had picked up the princess for more than ten days. They had some food at first, but when they saw no one came to look for her, they kept feeding her one meal a day and skipping meals for fear that if she was handed over, her entire clan would be exterminated.
So they didn't dare to hand it over to the teacher, and kept Xu Zhiyi at home for two years. When she was four years old, they started to let her work.
At this time, the couple felt a strange sense of excitement.
You see, the princess still has to work for herself, so what if she is as precious as gold and jade.
When Xu Zhiyi was six years old, she was seen by a brothel mother who happened to pass by and was bought.
It's not a loss at all. After raising her for a few years, not only can she work, but I can also pick up some money.
At last, realizing that they were doomed, they said:
"If it weren't for us, the princess might have died by the river."
The secret guards were speechless when they heard this. If it weren't for you, someone else would have picked it up, and the other person might have returned it long ago.
The queen immediately ordered the prison staff to serve them well.
The man was first insulted by one man after another, and then killed.
The women and their children were strangled to death.
The queen did not tell Xu Zhiyi these things. She just wanted her and the baby in her belly to be safe and sound, and not think about these bad things anymore.
Xu Zhiyi naturally didn't know about this. She looked at the gold, silver and jewelry sent to her and felt that she could still have two more children.
Since a wedding banquet was to be held, Lu Yanli had to return to the Duke of Xianguo's mansion three days before the wedding, and the two of them could not see each other.
The wedding dress was made by the Imperial Household Department at the order of the Empress. It took sixty-six embroiderers fifteen days to complete it.
She stayed in the palace a day in advance and was about to set off from the palace.
In the blink of an eye, the wedding day arrived.
When it was dark, Xu Zhiyi was awakened by a palace maid. While she was still half asleep, someone had already started to dress her up.
By the time she changed into her bright red wedding dress, she was still sleepy. She was really sleepy during the early stages of pregnancy.
The wedding dress took so long to embroider and was very elaborate. The bright red dress was embroidered with golden threads into patterns of blessing groups, and even the dark embroidery was very delicate. The waist was hung with a belt embroidered on both sides of flowing gauze, which perfectly outlined the woman's graceful figure.
Xu Zhiyi was amazed because he felt like he weighed ten pounds more when he put it on.
Not to mention the hair full of gold-wire rubies, long phoenix-shaped hairpins on both sides, and a phoenix crown covered with South China Sea pearls.
Finally, she painted her cherry lips with lip balm, added eyebrows like distant mountains, and finally added tassels.
Although because Xu Zhiyi was pregnant, Lu Yanli reduced many procedures after discussing with the Queen.
But the basic phoenix crown, bridal robe and ten miles of red makeup are there.
The princess was overjoyed and the palace was filled with joy. The wedding, which was supposed to be presided over by the prince, was presided over by the emperor himself.
.......
I can tell from the introduction, the book circle, the title and even the cover that this is not a novel about a strong female character... It's just this delicate nature of mine, so I won't change it no matter who comes!
