Chapter 153 The Daughter of a Guilty Minister vs. the Disabled Prince 67
Looking at Xiao Yun's bright eyes, for a moment, Xiao Yan even wanted to stay in the capital!
It is true that beauty can lead to the downfall of a country. If it weren't for Xiaoyun, he would not have hesitated for so long and would not have set off.
There are enough troops in the northern border, but unfortunately they are a mixed bag, with garrisons from various places, generals who were born as bandits, and soldiers recruited locally. Without a strong commander, it is impossible to control these people.
If Marshal Ji were still alive, would there be any need for him to lead the army in person?
It is easy to get an army, but it is difficult to get a general!
Xiao Yan hugged Xiao Yun and kissed her hard. He held the handkerchief and sachet Xiao Yun gave him in his arms, gritted his teeth, and climbed onto the horse. He did not look back because he was afraid that if he took one look, he would never be able to leave.
Wei Ling followed behind him, also in armor, and looked back frequently.
Xiao Yan swung his spear and hit Wei Ling's shoulder lightly, "Focus on this trip north. If you can't make military achievements, don't come back!"
He is the emperor, why does he always go out fighting and killing?
Of course, such matters should be handed over to capable subordinates, such as Wei Ling and the secret guards who have followed him for many years. Otherwise, how could he guard such a vast empire by himself? Wouldn't he be exhausted to death?
After Xiao Yan left, Ji Yunhuan felt that the days seemed to pass particularly slowly, and it seemed that playing Pai Gow with Wen Lan was no longer interesting.
Wenlan was already a "dead man". After Xiao Yan ascended the throne, he caused the Crown Princess to "die of illness", and Ji Yunhuan, who was pregnant with the royal heir, naturally became the queen.
However, Wenlan couldn't bear to leave Xiaoyun, and she knew that Xiao Yan would lead the army in person, and Xiaoyun would have no one by her side at that time, so she still stayed in the palace to accompany Xiaoyun.
They still live in the original courtyard, and will move to the palace after Xiaoyun gives birth.
Wen Lan pushed the Pai Gow in front of him and muttered, "It's boring, really boring. Xiaoyun, your soul has followed Xiao Yan. I made several mistakes. I don't feel fulfilled when I win. I won't play anymore!"
Ji Yunhuan felt embarrassed. "I'm sorry. How about asking Divine Doctor Ye to make up the numbers? She's been in the palace these days."
Wenlan already knew that Ye Jueming was a woman, and Jinqiu also knew it, but they were not opposed to playing Pai Gow with Ye Jueming.
Ye Jueming arrived soon. Xiaoyun's due date was approaching, and she had to stay in the palace every day, for fear that she would not be there when Xiaoyun gave birth.
This time, Wen Lan finally defeated Ye Jueming, but she couldn't be happy.
"What's wrong with you two? You both look like you've lost your soul. Xiaoye, are you attracted to that cold Wei Ling?"
Ye Jueming was immediately furious, "What nonsense are you talking about? I'm not talking about that! I want to travel around the world, people in the world don't care about trivial matters, I don't want to be trapped in the capital!"
Wen Lan rolled his eyes. It was obvious that he liked her, otherwise why would he consider so much.
"My Gu Lang is still the best. He is gentle and considerate, and treats me wholeheartedly. He refused to marry after I entered the palace. He only wanted to marry me."
"Qianxi is a little poor, but it is much more comfortable than the capital. Moreover, with my father in office, the people's lives will get better and better. The local people even built a longevity stele for him, so he is even more reluctant to leave."
Wenlan's father was promoted, but Lord Wen did not want to be transferred back to the capital. Wenlan's brother had already returned to the capital, and his official position in the future would definitely be high.
Xiao Yan was completely different from Xiao Qiping. He was a natural emperor who knew how to use people. He was never stingy in rewarding those who had been loyal to him for many years.
Ji Yunhuan was stunned thinking about this, until Wen Lan beside him screamed.
"Xiao Yun, you're bleeding! Quick, quick, quick! Someone come quickly, the Queen is about to give birth!"
After a period of chaos, Ji Yunhuan entered the delivery room.
Ye Jueming was a doctor, so he could naturally go in. Wen Lan also wanted to go in, but Ye Jueming disliked her for not being able to help, so he stopped her outside.
Ji Yunhuan was brought back to her senses by the contractions. She waited for a while and felt that the time was about right, so she used the birthing pill and the little prince came out soon.
Ye Jueming had never seen a child birth so smooth, and felt that it was all due to his proper care in daily life.
Wen Lan looked at Xiao Yun's pale face and sweaty forehead, and was still frightened. "You still call this smooth? There is so much blood, it's terrible."
Even if you use the birth control pill, the bleeding will still happen and the damage to your body will still be there, but the delivery will be smoother and there will be no difficult delivery.
Ji Yunhuan held the swaddled baby in her arms and smiled softly. She teased the child for a while but couldn't hold on any longer and fell into a deep sleep.
Xiao Yan, who was far away in the northern border, received the news and immediately sent back an imperial decree, naming the newly born prince Yu and conferring him the title of Crown Prince!
In the early spring of the following year, Xiao Yan recovered ten cities in the northern border. When the news reached the capital, the whole country celebrated and the new emperor's reputation reached its peak.
All people talked about in teahouses and taverns were the achievements of the new emperor. The deceased Xiao Qiping would always be dragged out and his corpse would be whipped. If Xiao Qiping had not been so stupid and incompetent and had framed loyal officials, the Northern Frontier would not have fallen.
Xiao Yan marched northward, broke into the Great Khanate's lair, captured the Heavenly Khan alive, and continued to expand the territory of the Xiao Kingdom.
The Great Khanate was originally an alliance of eight major tribes. The Chiyou tribe was defeated, and the other tribes were insignificant and surrendered one after another.
The two sides began to negotiate peace again. Xiao Yan threw these trivial matters to Wen Xizhi, left several generals to guard the northern border, and rode back to Beijing at full speed overnight, impatiently.
He hasn't seen Xiaoyun for one hundred and eighty-six days, and he can't wait any longer!
In Xiaozhu Garden.
Ji Yunhuan was sleeping soundly, and Xiao Yu was sleeping beside her, with his arms and legs curled up together. His face was chubby, and he had a small mouth that was snoring and blowing bubbles.
A breeze blew by, and a man in golden armor appeared beside the bed.
The army that returned from the campaign was still stationed outside the capital, waiting to open the city gates to welcome them in tomorrow.
But Xiao Yan couldn't wait any longer. He stared at Xiao Yun's face almost greedily. After not seeing her for many days, Xiao Yun seemed to have lost weight.
The little guy was so cute, like a little cloud, pink and tender. Xiao Yan's outstretched hand stayed in mid-air, as he was afraid that the cold armor would hurt the soft little guy.
"Wow~Wow~~" Xiao Yu closed his eyes and burst into tears. He smelled an uncomfortable scent and kept burrowing into his mother's arms.
Ji Yunhuan was also awakened, but she was very sleepy and didn't even want to open her eyes. She fumbled to untie the bellyband on her chest and fed her son.
This scene was so powerful that Xiao Yan's breathing became heavier and he shouted in a hoarse voice, "Xiao Yun, I'm back!"
Ji Yunhuan woke up completely and sat up. She rubbed her eyes and suspected that she was dreaming.
Xiao Yu, who was lying on the bed, had run out of food. He pulled hard at his mother's clothes and cried out in a babbling voice.
Ji Yunhuan ignored his son, but reached out to touch Xiao Yan. The armor was cold to the touch, and exuded an iron-blooded aura. Xiao Yan held Xiao Yun's hand, and they both said at the same time: "Your Majesty (Xiao Yun), you have lost weight!"
Ji Yunhuan used recovery pills after she came out of confinement. She actually didn't lose weight, but even gained some weight.
Xiao Yan had really lost weight, his beard was shabby, and there was a purple tint under his eyes. It seemed like he hadn't had a good rest for a long time.
The two of them grinned foolishly at the same time. Xiao Yu climbed onto his mother, but when he saw that she was still paying no attention to him, he pouted and burst into tears.
Ji Yunhuan held his son in his arms and coaxed him softly, "Little Yu'er, be good. This is daddy. Daddy is back. Daddy likes you very much, too. Let daddy hold you, okay?"
