"Sister Ru."
"Sister-in-law." Shangguan Ru smiled and was about to walk towards her.
"Don't move. Be careful that the children don't bump into you while playing." Yu Yuanzheng stopped him immediately.
As soon as she came in, she saw Shangguan Ru's unconscious movements and knew that she was pregnant again, and her belly was already a little obvious.
I guess it’s been about five months.
It’s just winter and I wear thick clothes so it’s not very obvious.
But who she is, doctor, you can tell at a glance.
Shangguan Ru really didn't move. She just stood in the corridor, waiting for her to come over.
"How many months?"
"Almost a month."
"Why didn't you mention it when we left?" Yu Yuanzheng scolded.
"The pregnancy was still young and it wasn't the first time, so I wasn't in a hurry to complain." This was Shangguan Ru's third child, so she wasn't that excited and treated it as a normal thing.
"We are your mother's family. You should tell us about this kind of good news as soon as possible."
"Yes, yes, I was wrong." Shangguan Ru admitted her mistake immediately.
Shangguan Ru looked very good at this time, which showed that she was living a comfortable life.
"Hey, where's Xiaokui?" Yu Yuanzheng asked as she hadn't seen Shangguan Ru's second child.
"He just clamored to go find his father, so I asked the maid to take him to the front yard."
"Zheng'er, you haven't had breakfast yet, come in quickly, Nanny Zhao has been keeping it warm for you." The old princess came out and interrupted the two of them.
She knew that her daughter-in-law would definitely sleep in, so she had already prepared something for her.
Yu Yuanzheng helped Shangguan Ru into the dining room, where a bowl of steaming lean meat porridge was placed on the table, along with a few side dishes.
"Sister Ru, would you like to eat something more?" Yu Yuanzheng invited.
"No, lunch will be served in an hour."
"Why are you afraid? You need to eat more now, otherwise you won't be able to feed the child."
Yu Yuanzheng didn't give her a chance to refuse and directly took another empty bowl and served her some more.
Shangguan Ru had no choice but to sit down and eat with her.
The two hadn't seen each other for a long time and had endless things to talk about.
Xiao Yue'er was also there with him.
"Aunt, next time you go out to sea, can you take me with you?" Xiao Yue'er waited until they had finished talking before interrupting.
"Oh? Xiao Yue'er also wants to go out and broaden her horizons?" Yu Yuanzheng didn't expect that such a shy little girl would have such a bold idea.
"Yeah. My eldest cousin and his friends told me a lot about what they saw during this trip. It made me want to go out and see the world too." Zhong Yue looked longing.
These days, she was busy taking care of the Eighth Princess in the hospital and didn't even realize that she had shown off her three children in front of Xiao Yue'er.
"Okay, as long as your mother agrees, your aunt will take you there."
When Zhong Yue heard this, she immediately looked at her mother.
"You see I'm useless. Your father has to make the decision on this matter." Shangguan Ru did not agree immediately.
This is no trivial matter.
"Dad will definitely agree." Zhong Yueyan was sure.
It can be seen that they have a very good relationship with their daughter.
"Haha!" Yu Yuanzheng couldn't help laughing when she saw Xiao Yue'er's proud little expression.
At noon, Shangguan Ziqi brought Zhong Weiliang in from the outer courtyard, and Xiao Yueer couldn't wait to ask Zhong Weiliang for his opinion.
Of course, the marriage was as Xiao Yueer wished.
It can be seen that Zhong Weiliang really loves his stepdaughter.
"I want to go, too."
As the three-year-old Zhong family boy, Zhong Kui was still ignorant and didn't know what his parents said. He only had one thought: he wanted to get going. When he heard his elder sister say where she was going, he instinctively wanted to follow her.
"You are still young and can't go. Wait until you grow up." Shangguan Ru refused without even thinking.
The knot made the little guy pout and he was about to cry.
"Brother, don't cry. Wait for me to explore the route. I will definitely take you with me next time." Seeing that her brother was about to cry, Zhong Yue immediately coaxed him.
The two siblings loved each other very much, which made Yu Yuanzheng very happy.
This is how a family can be happy.
Sister Ru has suffered too much in the past, and now she has to make up for it.
I have a happy family, a lover, and children, and my life is complete.
"Brother-in-law, I heard that the emperor wants to assign you a new position?" Yu Yuanzheng was concerned about Zhong Weiliang.
"Well, you discovered sulfur mines during your voyage this time, and the emperor has given me full responsibility for this matter."
"Oh, then don't you have to leave the capital?" Yu Yuanzheng was surprised. The emperor should know that his wife was pregnant, so why did he arrange for him to leave the capital?
However, the emperor should not consider such personal issues.
"Yes." Zhong Weiliang was also a little helpless. He had to be loyal to the emperor while eating his meat.
"So how do you plan to arrange it?"
"I can only ask my mother-in-law to take care of me. If the task goes smoothly, I will come as soon as possible." Zhong Weiliang stood up and bowed deeply to the old princess.
"It's okay, just go and do your job, I will take good care of Ru'er." The old princess was happy.
"Since you are going to Haiyue Island, let me tell you something." Yu Yuanzheng thought about the special features of the island and it was necessary for him to pay more attention to it.
"If you're only staying there for a short time, it's not a big problem. If you still want to have another son, you'd better drink less water from the island."
Next, Yu Yuanzheng told him in detail about the peculiarities of the island and the reasons behind them.
Zhong Weiliang was stunned for a long time after hearing this.
He had never heard of such a thing.
Water can actually change a person's physique and make it impossible to give birth to a son?
"But you don't have to worry too much. Once you come back, your body will naturally return to its original condition after a period of time. So the migrant workers who go to the mines will be replaced by a new batch every once in a while." Yu Yuanzheng comforted her.
The emperor did not intend to make this matter public to avoid causing panic.
So the first thing to do was to relocate the villagers on the island and then send people to the island to open mines.
At the same time, troops were sent to set up defenses, and from then on that place became the territory of the Great Wei.
Zhong Weiliang already knew what was going on.
He already has a son, and his wife is pregnant with another, so it doesn't really matter whether he has a son or a daughter in the future.
The two families spent the whole afternoon together happily, and the children in particular had a lot of fun.
Little Yue'er likes to stick to Yu Yuanzheng.
It can be seen that Yu Yuanzheng's position in her heart is similar to that of her mother.
The next day, the team escorting the goods from the seaside arrived in Beijing.
Feng Lei personally sent the four girls from the Chun family to Prince Li's palace.
"Greetings, Princess." The four girls ran forward excitedly.
I haven't seen the princess for more than 20 days, and I feel like I have lost my backbone.
If Lixiang and Taoxiang hadn't followed them, they wouldn't know what to do.
"Is everything going well along the way?" Yu Yuanzheng asked with a smile.
"Princess, I didn't expect Dawei to be so big. It took us more than half a month to walk all the way.
We just entered the capital city, and it seems very lively. It is the largest and most prosperous place we have ever seen.
There are so many people on the street, all busy with their own things. It’s very different from our island.”
Chunshui chattered non-stop.
"You guys stay in the palace first. Tomorrow I will arrange for maids and guards to take you around the capital and tell you about the various customs and practices of the capital.
I will only give you ten days. After ten days, you must go to the island and persuade the villagers.
The emperor has already arranged a place for the villagers on the island and arranged for people to start reclaiming the land, waiting for the villagers to plant crops.
So time is very tight, spring is coming soon, and we have to get it settled before we plant the seeds.”
Yu Yuanzheng had already made arrangements for them and was just waiting for them to arrive.
