It was three days later when Guan Zhiyue and her group finished dealing with things in Guantao County.
The weather is getting colder and colder. Although Guantao County did not have any snow this year, it does not mean that other places did not have snow.
However, because it is close to the sea, although it did not snow, it was still very cold. Today, Shirley Kwan was wrapped up like a big rice dumpling.
It was so cold that frost had formed on the road.
"Your Majesty, why don't we stay here until the New Year? There's frost on the ground; the carriage might slip," Guan Chengzhuo said worriedly.
Li Qiji looked at it and also felt that it was better to wait a little longer, but Guan Zhiyue, who was sitting in the carriage, said softly, "It's okay, brother, let's drive slowly."
Grandparents must have been very worried about us. Now that you're back, they must be even more anxious.
After hearing Guan Zhiyue's words, Li Qiji looked at Guan Chengzhuo and said, "Then let's go!"
Anyway, whatever Guan Zhiyue says goes now, no arguments, just full support!
So the group set off, swaying and staggering.
Guan Zhiyue and Li Qiji were fine. They were sitting in the carriage. Anyway, as soon as they entered the carriage, they were already in the space, so they didn't have to worry about the severe cold or scorching heat.
"How are you feeling today? Are you alright? Is there anything bothering you?" Li Qiji asked.
Guan Zhiyue raised her hand to stroke her round belly and said with a smile, "Don't worry, what could possibly happen? I can eat and drink as much as I want now."
"By the way, have you seen Xiao Tuantuan? I haven't seen her for the past few days, I don't know where she went."
"Yes, I've met her. She's definitely a young woman."
What do you think of her looks?
Li Qiji's alarm bells went off instantly. He turned to look at Guan Zhiyue, scrutinizing her from head to toe, and then said, "Hmm, does Little Yue'er want to hear her husband praise her? Or what?"
Guan Zhiyue said, "No, I was just asking casually! Besides, everyone has different tastes!"
Afraid of saying the wrong thing, Li Qiji replied calmly, "Very good!"
"How about I become your concubine?"
"Pfft!" Li Qiji spat out a mouthful of water, knocking over the teacup in his hand; he quickly protested, "Yue'er, no!"
Guan Zhiyue was curious. Why? "What's wrong? Is it bad?"
"not good!"
Why?
Li Qiji took out a handkerchief to wipe the water stains, put down the teacup in his hand, and took Guan Zhiyue's hand;
He held it in his palm and whispered, "I only want to be with you for the rest of my life. I don't want to be with any other woman."
"Even if she is some kind of elf or some powerful figure, all I want is you. I haven't thought about anything else."
"My father was incompetent and tyrannical, indulging in wine and women, which led to the Nan Ding Kingdom becoming a country riddled with problems."
"We've finally managed to slowly recover over the years, and I don't want Nanding Kingdom to become like that again."
"Therefore, having you in the harem is enough; nothing else is needed."
"I will deal with the concubines in the palace when I return this time."
Li Qiji took a deep breath and began to speak slowly.
Guan Zhiyue nodded gently after hearing Li Qiji's words, "I hope what you said can be upheld!"
"Absolutely maintain this!"
The two then talked about other things, but in the other carriages...
Xiao Tuantuan is a lively person. Since she couldn't go to Guan Zhiyue's carriage, she could only squeeze in with Bilian.
Bilian was taking Changle with her, so the three of them squeezed into the carriage, but they were all very happy. Sometimes Guan Chengzhuo and Jishang would join them.
However, Ji Wu returned, and he would often linger around Bi Lian, showering her with attention.
Bilian was currently slapping Jiwu in the face, feeling that he was crazy. Why did he have to appear in front of her countless times a day?
"Lord Wu, are you alright? We have everything we need in our carriage. Why don't you go and check on the Empress?"
Bilian lifted the carriage curtain and looked at Jiwu riding a horse beside her, then refused the thing he was about to hand over.
Ji Wu was speechless, but he was too embarrassed to say directly that he loved her! He could only express his feelings through gifts!
"Hehe, what's this? This stuff is really delicious. I'll give it to you guys to try. You all have some anyway." Ji Wu pushed the box in his hand over again, then rode away.
When Xiao Tuantuan heard about the delicious food, her eyes lit up. Although there was plenty of delicious food in the space, that didn't stop her from eating food from outside!
Bilian held the food in her hand, somewhat puzzled. Xiao Tuantuan snatched it away, saying as she opened it, "What's Bilian hesitating about? There's food to eat, why are you hesitating? Let's eat first."
"Besides, you're refusing to take the food back; it's not like it's anything valuable."
"Oh, it's pastries!"
"Here you go, I won't be polite, I'll try it first!" Little Tuantuan picked up a small, yellow, plum blossom-shaped pastry, the kind you can eat in one bite, and stuffed it directly into her mouth.
He frowned instantly, chewed it casually in his mouth, and inside he felt like a million alpacas were stampeding through his mind.
"What's wrong, Miss Tuantuan? Are you alright?" Bilian looked at Tuantuan's winking and making faces, feeling both amused and worried.
Chang Le, who was standing to the side, also grabbed a piece, held it in her hand, put it in her mouth, and then spat it out with a look of disgust.
"Try it yourself, it's absolutely delicious!" Xiao Tuantuan swallowed with difficulty, then drank a large glass of water.
Bilian also picked up a piece, took a bite, and immediately spat it out. It was too damn sweet, to the point of being cloyingly sweet. Whose pastry is so cloyingly sweet?
If you eat all of this, won't you become a high-risk person for diabetes?
Little Tuantuan thought to herself, feeling disgusted!
Unfortunately, Ji Wu was still foolishly fantasizing that Bi Lian would feel his sweet love after eating the pastries.
So when he went to buy pastries, he asked the workshop to add an extra jar of honey! It was so sweet it made him nauseous.
Ji Wu was unaware that his sweet pastries had been rejected and used as table leg pads.

Guan Zhiyue and her group returned to the capital without any major mishaps on their journey. Two months passed in a leisurely manner, and they arrived in the capital in February.
Guan Zhiyue is now more than five months pregnant, and Xiao Changle is eleven months old.
His speech has also become more fluent, after all, he will be one year old after February and has drunk the spiritual spring water;
Xiao Chang Le started speaking a little earlier than other children.
In the capital city.
Winter is almost over, but it's still cold when the wind blows. The snow and dust on the sidewalks are mixed together and trampled into solid lumps.
On the streets of Beijing, thick snow piled up on both sides of the road, and as the temperature gradually rose, the snowdrifts gradually turned gray.
It softened, and there were small grooves on the surface.
"Your Majesty, we await your triumphant return!"
"Your Majesty, we await your triumphant return!"
"Your Majesty, we await your triumphant return!"
At the gates of the imperial city, all the ministers clasped their hands and bowed, awaiting the return of their emperor and empress.
Although this year's palace banquet was organized by Prince Xiaoyao, it still feels like a palace banquet without the emperor is not a good one.
"My beloved subjects, rise."
Li Qiji helped Guan Zhiyue slowly down from the carriage. The ministers looked at the Emperor and Empress and began to discuss excitedly.
Seeing the Empress's round belly, everyone was very pleased.
"My beloved ministers, let the Empress and I return to the palace first to inform our ancestors, and then we will have a long talk with you all!" Li Qiji announced loudly.
So what could the ministers say? They couldn't just stop people outside and expect them to recount everything that had happened!
Li Qiji glanced at the people present. He found many of the officials unfamiliar, but said nothing. He then temporarily took Guan Zhiyue into the palace. Guan Zhiyue and her entourage finally arrived in the capital.
