Chi Yunzhi stood outside the Shili Pavilion and looked at the dense army marching along the official road, feeling reluctant to leave.
She knew that Song Tingyue was riding a red-maned horse in the front, and the red flag fluttering in the wind had the word "dragon" written on it.
The barbarians invaded the north at this time mostly because after a spring of recuperation, they had enough food and grass and felt they were able to recover.
Autumn will come in a few months. When the grass on the grassland withers, the cattle and sheep will have no food, and they will also lose their resources.
This is in preparation for the coming autumn.
"Young Madam, please go back. The sun is too strong." Hua Rong stepped forward and said.
Chi Yunzhi withdrew his gaze. The army stretched for hundreds of miles, with no end in sight. Everyone became a small black dot.
Chi Yunzhi nodded, not very interested.
Chu also came to her senses. The two sisters-in-law had their own concerns, but they were equally worried about their husbands.
Young Song Yansheng and Song Jinze witnessed the army's march with their own eyes, leaving an indelible shock in their little hearts.
After all, Song Jinze was too young. When he saw his father gone, he burst into tears. Song Yansheng was sad himself and had to comfort his younger brother. He couldn't let his mother be sad too. He felt so miserable.
As soon as Chu stepped into the gate of Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion, she felt a surge of sourness in her stomach. She lowered her head and vomited violently.
Everyone in the mansion was thrown into chaos.
Chi Yunzhi quickly helped her sit down and helped her to breathe smoothly. Seeing her like this, she had some vague guesses in her mind.
"Sister-in-law, are you pregnant?" Chi Yunzhi asked in a low voice.
Chu paused in her retching movements and looked at Chi Yunzhi in disbelief.
She recalled that she had been having frequent periods over the past two months, and her period seemed to be late this month...
Thinking of this, she got goosebumps all over her body, and the astonishment in her eyes gradually turned into surprise, and then turned into tears overflowing from her eyes.
The doctor was quickly called over, took Chu's pulse, and said congratulations.
Everyone knew that Chu was pregnant.
Qian was overjoyed and hurried over. She met the old lady on the way, and the two of them came to Furong Courtyard together.
Chu had already been placed on the bed.
The doctor said that she had been pregnant for more than a month and had just experienced a bumpy ride in a carriage, which was why she had a morning sickness reaction.
"Goddess of Heaven, bless us! May my Song family be prosperous!" Looking at her weak appearance, Qian burst into tears of joy.
"Great, great! If two of you get pregnant at the same time, our Song family will be very busy in the future! It's all thanks to God!"
"Ms. Chu, take good care of your baby. Just tell me what you want to eat or drink, and I will make it for you." Mrs. Qian was very happy.
Just as the youngest son Song Shaoheng left, his good daughter-in-law was diagnosed with pregnancy. This is simply great news!
Mrs. Chu was extremely ashamed. She was already a mother of two children, and now she was pregnant with another one. Even an old sow couldn't give birth as well as her!
Chi Yunzhi laughed happily on the side, "From now on, we will be parenting partners. I won't be bored while we take care of the pregnancy together."
Although Mrs. Chu didn't know what "buddy" meant, there were many things she couldn't do during pregnancy, so it was good to have more people to chat with.
Everyone in the Zhenyuan Marquis's Mansion was filled with joy.
The situation is different in Prince Rui's Mansion. Just now, Bailing, who is favored by Zhang Youxing, had her face cut by a sharp weapon because she was disrespectful to Concubine Chi.
Bailing is most proud of her face. It is because of this face that she won Zhang Youxing's favor and made her stand out among the maids.
Unexpectedly, Aunt Chi became jealous and was so angry that she broke the tea bowl and scratched her face.
Bailing went crying to find Zhang Youxing to seek justice for her, but she miscalculated the date and offended Princess Wuyang.
Originally, Princess Wuyang didn't want to get involved in what was happening in her second brother's room, but Bailing was really unruly. She wanted to climb into bed and become a concubine, and even bumped into her!
Princess Wuyang immediately slapped her in the face.
When Zhang Youxing received the news and rushed over, Princess Wuyang had just finished teaching the ignorant maid a lesson.
"Wuyang, what are you doing?" Bai Ling fell to the ground like a bird with broken wings, which made Zhang Youxing heartbroken.
Look at these tears, look at this face, huh? Why did the face become like this?
Zhang Youxing showed disgust when he saw the wound on Bailing's face.
Tsk, his face is disfigured?
Bailing's eyes were already filled with tears. Just as she was about to open her mouth to complain, she saw the disgust in Zhang Youxing's eyes, and her heart skipped a beat.
"Wuyang, why did you hit her face like this?" Zhang Youxing was speechless. He had only recently become fond of this maid.
"Don't talk nonsense. This face was not made by me. She looked like this when she rushed towards me. At most, I just slapped her." Wuyang admitted frankly that he had slapped her.
I'm just a lowly servant, so what's a slap in the face?
"Second Young Master, it was Madam Chi who scratched my face! You are the one who treated me well! Second Young Master, please help me!" Bailing knelt down crying and kowtowed three times to Zhang Youxing.
Wuyang felt annoyed when she heard this. She felt that this maid had bad intentions, but her second brother liked her so much!
His second brother's yard was a mess and looked shabby. He took a concubine but was still restless and wanted to provoke these flashy maids, making the entire palace a mess.
It seems like it's time to suggest to my mother that my second brother find a sister-in-law.
Zhang Youxing had no idea what Princess Wuyang was thinking. After hearing Bailing's words, he was furious and rushed straight to his own yard.
Wuyang also went along this time. She wanted to see what kind of ability Chi Miaoyan had to hurt her second brother's beloved maid so badly.
Bai Ling had someone to back her up, and her eyes were shining. She had already thought about how to exaggerate and frame Chi Miaoyan.
But when she arrived, she was dumbfounded.
Chi Miaoyan fell in a pool of blood, with a scar on her arm running from the wrist to the elbow.
Even Princess Wuyang was startled.
"What the hell is going on! Someone come and explain it to me!" Zhang Youxing was furious. He hadn't had enough fun with his new concubine yet!
"Second Young Master is not like that! She just scratched my face with a piece of broken porcelain, and I was so angry that I ran out to look for someone. I didn't hurt her!" Bailing was anxious and a little incoherent.
The rest of the maids were slacking off, and when the incident happened, only Chi Miaoyan and Bailing were there.
Bai Ling was speechless and Chi Miaoyan was still in a coma, so Princess Wuyang sent someone to call a doctor out of kindness.
When this happened, the prince and princess found out. Wuyang took the opportunity to bring up the matter of finding a wife for his second brother Zhang Youxing. At least there had to be someone to calm him down!
"The lotus flowers in the garden are blooming beautifully. Why don't we hold a banquet?" suggested the princess.
So the lotus viewing banquet was decided.
