The July evening was still hot.
Yunniang made a bowl of mint tea to relieve heat and left it to cool on the small table in the thatched cottage.
She sat on the doorstep with a smile on her face and a palm-leaf fan in her hand.
She looked at the field not far away and saw a man wearing a straw hat watering the crops in the field.
This is a very capable man. He has been in Linjia Village for about three months.
He looks fair and gentle, but he is very strong, proficient in farm work, and can read and write. He became a teacher in the private school in Linjia Village.
The only pity is that such a good man is not hers.
Yunniang is twenty-six years old this year. She used to be a member of the Women's Army and enjoyed a glorious period of two or three years following Princess Taiping.
Later, naturally, because she was old, she had to find someone to marry, so she married into Linjia Village. Her husband was a scholar and was originally a teacher in that private school. However, he died of a cold last year, leaving behind a daughter who is only three years old now.
I still remember that it was on the night of April 12th that His Highness actually rode here alone, found her, handed her an unconscious person, and then a large stack of banknotes, and said three sentences:
"Yun Niang, this is my man!"
"If you still remember our friendship, please help me take good care of him. If he wakes up, don't tell him that I sent him here."
"I'll come anytime, until I'm pregnant with his baby!"
Then His Highness rode away in a hurry, leaving behind a strong man for her, a widow!
Of course, Yunniang didn't have the courage to attack this man, so she called a doctor and took good care of him until he woke up three days later.
After that, he continued to lie in bed for about twenty days, and then got out of bed, but he was still very weak.
The man naturally asked why he was there, and Yunniang's answer was: I picked you up in the back mountain.
Then the man was confused for a while, and then he didn't ask anything anymore. He spoke very little and was quite silent.
Yunniang spent the money lavishly on buying many supplements. It was not until mid-May that the man's injuries were almost healed.
Since late May, His Highness has been here five times.
The prince came here, but did not meet the man directly. Instead, he gave her a packet of powder, which was a drug for aphrodisiac and also an aphrodisiac!
So naturally a lot of things happened during those five nights, but they were handled very well afterwards and the man had no idea about it.
Three nights ago, His Highness came again and spoke to Yunniang afterwards:
"He's my man!"
"Well, he is His Highness's man, Yunniang doesn't dare to have any thoughts about him."
In fact, Yunniang has been wondering who this man is? With the noble status of Princess Taiping, he actually wants to seek pleasure in such a way!
"I just want to have his child..."
That night, the moon was bright, and His Highness's face was rosy and radiant. "I'm pregnant, Yunniang. Thank you for letting me completely forget this experience!"
"Yun Niang will definitely forget!"
"Do you want to go back to the Women's Army?"
"...I once wanted to go back, but since I gave birth to my daughter, I can't go back anymore. I'll raise her here and spend the rest of my life here."
"No, take your daughter and leave here. Keep these banknotes. They're enough for you to settle down anywhere. After he leaves, you should leave. The farther the better. Find a place where even I can't find you."
After saying this, Princess Taiping once again gave her a handful of banknotes and left. Then... Yun Niang realized that the former leader of the women's army had now ascended the throne as emperor!
She was the first female emperor in the history of the Wu Dynasty!
But she borrowed her seed from that man!
Who is that man?
Yunniang never asked, but the man told her. He said his name was Fu Erdai, a very strange name.
Now that he's fully recovered, when will he... leave here?
Where will he go?
…
Fu Xiaoguan rolled up his trouser legs and walked back to the thatched cottage carrying a bucket of water.
Yunniang's little daughter Xiaoxiao spread her short legs and ran towards Fu Xiaoguan, "Daddy, Daddy, hug Xiaoxiao!"
Yunniang's face turned red. Fu Xiaoguan put down the bucket and held Xiaoxiao in his arms, lifting her above his head and placing her on his shoulders. "Xiaoxiao, sit high. The higher you sit, the farther you can see."
"Look how much you've spoiled her..." Yunniang stood up and walked into the house to bring out the cold tea. "Have a sip to cool off. I'm going to go cook."
"Um."
Fu Xiaoguan held Xiaoxiao on his shoulder with one hand and gulped down the tea in the other. He then asked Xiaoxiao, "Do you still remember the characters Dad taught you this morning?"
"Xiaoxiao remembers."
"Come down and write on the ground for Dad to see."
He put Xiaoxiao on the ground. Xiaoxiao picked up a wooden stick and started writing on the ground.
"This is the character 'Xiao' in Xiaoxiao's name, and this is the character 'Lin'. Xiaoxiao's name is Lin Xiaoxiao."
“Xiaoxiao is awesome!”
Fu Xiaoguan kissed Xiaoxiao on her pink cheek. Yunniang fetched some water and asked him to wash his face.
"There's been too little rain this year. The river is almost dry. If it doesn't rain again, the crops will be in big trouble... We need to dig a well. We can't just rely on the weather."
Yunniang was stunned and thought, are you going to settle down here again?
Even if you want to settle down, I don’t dare!
"Second generation, I think... I still have some money for myself, and Xiaoxiao is growing up. She won't learn much in this private school."
Fu Xiaoguan looked up at Yunniang and asked, "Do you want to move to Shanglin Town?"
"I don't know yet, but I'm planning to move. What are your plans?"
“…”
Fu Xiaoguan looked into the distance. More than three months had passed in a flash. He heard that Wu Linger officially ascended the throne on the first day of June. It seemed that the government of the Wu Dynasty was not in turmoil because of the fall of Emperor Wen.
With the Empress Dowager Xi around and the assistance of Zhuo and his entourage and Nangong Yiyu, the Wu Dynasty would not be in turmoil.
I just asked Yun Shulan and the others because they didn't know about me and they must be very worried. Now that I have basically recovered, it is time for me to return to Yu Dynasty - I think they should have returned to Jinling as well.
As for Wu Dynasty...let Ling'er take care of it.
"Since you have this idea, I should leave."
"Where are you going?" Yunniang asked curiously.
Fu Xiaoguan laughed and said, "Go to Yu Dynasty."
Xiaoxiao didn't know when she ran in front of him. At this moment, she looked up at him with tears in her eyes, "No, Xiaoxiao, don't let daddy go. Daddy, please stay, wuwuwu..."
Yunniang sighed in her heart and lowered her head. How great it would be if this man was her husband!
Fu Xiaoguan squatted down and wiped the tears from Xiaoxiao's little face with his hands. "Xiaoxiao, Daddy won't lie to you. Daddy is really leaving. You must listen to Mommy from now on. Remember what Daddy told you. If you have any difficulties at any time, go to the West Mountain of Yuchao Linjiang and shout "Fu Erdai" three times, and someone will take you to Daddy!"
