The cold winter rain breaks my heart.
Xu Xinyan and Susu sat in the Yiliang Pavilion, watching the cold rain falling against the backdrop of big red lanterns.
Like silk, like cotton wool, like thousands of red threads, interwoven together diagonally, they formed a net, trapping the endless sorrow.
"He..." Su Su shook her long legs, her gaze shifting from Yu Si'er to her toes. "He'll be staying in that Wofeng Road for a long time. Shangjing City is his main base, and the three ladies can't go there... Do you like him?"
Su Su's question was a little messy, just like the messy rain outside the pavilion.
But Xu Xinyan understood. She continued to gaze at the raindrops falling under the lantern, pondered for a moment, and said, "He... he saw my body the day he rescued me. According to the customs of my hometown, if he doesn't marry me, I... I have no face to live in this world."
Su Su turned her head to glance at Xu Xinyan, the corners of her mouth curled up, and then she raised her head to look at the rain in the night sky, "Your rules are very good. He is a person worthy of entrusting your life to."
Xu Xinyan lowered her head, and after a long while, she slowly said, "He... is too high-ranking. I don't understand anything, so I can't do anything for him."
The huge gap in status has been impacting Xu Xinyan's soul in the past few days. The more she gets to know Fu Xiaoguan's three wives, the more she understands the insurmountable gap between them.
Compared with his three wives, he seemed to have no advantages except for his martial arts. Even his appearance, which he once took pride in, was not much different from his three wives.
Her humble status made her feel even more inferior. She looked at the dark night and the cold rain again, and felt that there was only such a rain curtain between her and him. They might be able to see each other, but they could never see clearly.
Su Su shook her little feet and suddenly laughed, "Don't overthink it. He's not that kind of person. Precisely because he holds such a high position, he doesn't care about your status. What he cares about is feelings, a sincere feeling."
Su Su turned to look at Xu Xinyan and jokingly said, "Actually, your chance is coming soon."
"What do you mean, sister?"
"Isn't he going to Wofeng Road? You can go with him to protect his safety. He won't be back in a day or two. He's a man, so he's bound to cheat. Hehe, if I, if I could give it to him and let him eat it... wouldn't that be a good thing?"
Xu Xinyan blushed immediately, but it was hard to see clearly in the dark.
Su Su continued, "Women, for the sake of their future happiness, sometimes have to fight for it. If Sister doesn't take advantage of this time to fight for it, I'm afraid she will miss it when he returns to Jinling."
Xu Xinyan pondered Su Su's words carefully, looked at Su Su, and suddenly asked, "Sister, you also have him in your heart, why don't you pursue him?"
Su Su slowly turned her head, looking a little lonely. She looked at the corner of the yard, where there was a plum tree, and a few plum blossoms were falling in the cold rain.
…
…
At Jinghu Villa, the orange-red light shines through the window lattices into the courtyard where the drizzle is falling, moistening the soil and washing away the dust on the green leaves.
The huge Jinghu Villa quietly came to life in the rain, especially when a baby's cry was heard in the room, the place became even more lively.
Wu Linger hurriedly picked up the baby from the bed. The baby waved his little hands and grabbed things randomly, kicked his two short legs wildly, and cried loudly. Wu Linger was suddenly in a panic.
"My dear, are you hungry? Come, let me feed you."
Nishang fanned the flames in the charcoal stove a little brighter, then turned to Wu Linger and said, "Your Highness, did the young master wet his pants?"
"Ah... let me take a look."
"I really peed, oops, and I also pooped, my God... Hurry up and warm up those little cotton pants and bring them over."
"OK."
"Ask Luoying to bring a basin of hot water so I can wash my butt."
"I will go right away."
After a lot of effort, the three women finally dealt with the little brat. Little Tianci held his bowl of rice in both hands and ate milk quietly. Wu Linger just looked at him with her head down, her face filled with a glow of happiness.
Nishang and Luoying looked at Wu Linger in amazement. The prince who used to be heroic and impatient was now so patient and had no complaints when it came to taking care of the child's poop and pee.
His Highness has changed.
In fact, she is not even a princess now. To be honest, her current identity is just an ordinary woman.
Of course, Emperor Wu would not let her suffer any grievances. He once sent many palace maids and eunuchs, but they were all driven away by His Highness. His Highness said, "This is my child, and I want to raise him by myself."
Wu Ling'er didn't notice the strange look on the faces of her two loyal men. She stretched out a hand and poked Wu Tianci's tender cheek, saying with a smile, "My son, you must grow up quickly. When you are older, mother will take you to see your father."
"Your father is an amazing man. You must be like him and accomplish something earth-shattering!"
Nichang curled her lips, thinking that her father probably didn't know where he was having a good time right now. Men are nothing. Once the seeds are sown, they don't care about anything else. It's hard for His Highness.
In the battle on New Year's Eve, the women's army was almost wiped out. Her Highness seems to have no intention of rebuilding the women's army. This is also good. Her Highness is now devoted to the young master, so let her accompany the young master to grow up with peace of mind.
After eating and drinking his fill, little Tianci yawned, stretched, tilted his head, and fell asleep.
Wu Linger carefully placed him on the bed, covered him with the quilt, and looked at the little sleeping face, smiling with joy again.
"I owe you that. I had you born two months earlier. It's good for you to see the world sooner."
She straightened her clothes and stood up, saying to Nichang and Luoying, "Okay, the young master is asleep, and he will sleep until dawn. It's late, you should go and get some rest too."
"Well, I'll take my leave."
Wu Linger let out a long sigh, sat in front of the window, propped up her chin and looked at the rain outside, but her thoughts drifted thousands of miles away.
Is it raining in Jinling?
It's so late, you should have rested.
My son and I are doing well. My father-in-law has come here many times and has sent Zhuo Bieli to guard this place... Zhuo Bieli said that he will teach my son martial arts when he is two years old... My father-in-law said that practicing martial arts is useless, but I still think it is better to practice. You can't be like you, who is only at the third-rate level.
Fu Xiaoguan slept restlessly that night.
He had a dream. In the dream, there was a bleak winter rain and the plum blossoms that had not yet faded were falling all over the ground.
