"That's great, that's great, I'm going to be an uncle again!" Feng Qining said happily.
Feng Cailan glanced at her son and sighed slightly, "Ning'er, your eldest sister's two sons and two daughters are nine years old this year. Now your two brothers-in-law are expecting four more children. And your second sister is the same age as you and will also be a mother. But when do you want to get married? You've been paying the single tax for two years..."
"Mom, I'm only seventeen, still young!" Feng Qining curled her lips and retorted unconvincedly: "Didn't my cousin-in-law (Mu Lige) get married and have children at the age of nineteen?"
Yu Jingyang said distressedly, "Sir, there's no need to rush into marriage. If there's no suitable one, it's better not to marry. It's not like our General's Mansion can't afford to support Ning'er."
Feng Cailan knew that Yu Jingyang doted on Feng Qining because of the difficulty he had in getting pregnant. However, although Feng Qining was a little willful, she still had a good character, so she didn't say anything else.
A cunning glint flashed across Nalan Yunzhi's deep eyes, and she said to Feng Lingyan in a flattering manner, "Yanbao, look, all seven of us are pregnant, and Sanlang is having twins. She definitely can't take care of them all. How about... we also go to Xuanyi Valley together to help her take care of the children. After they are born, we can also lend a hand and help take care of them. What do you think?"
Feng Lingyan first glanced at Mu Lige, Situ Ye, Han Yichen, Yu Xiaotian, Si Chengfeng, Wu Chen and Zuo An in turn, then turned her gaze to Hua Qingguo, and finally nodded slightly.
In this way, Hua Qingcheng and her group stayed in Huaqiao Village for a full five days. Finally, on August 20th, she set off for Xuanyi Valley with her husband and six servants.
In addition to Feng Lingyan and Nalan Yunzhi, they also set out with Duan Yunfei and Gongyang Jiezhen, who had been following Feng Lingyan.
In addition, Hua Qingguo and Ye Ling'er's wife and husband, as well as Hua Rongsheng and Ye Maochun's wife and husband, also decided to go to Xuanyi Valley together and planned to stay there for a while.
Nalan Zetian and Su Muhongming took their younger brothers and sisters on the carriage back to the capital.
As for Feng Cailan, Feng Qiyan and Situ Wanqing, since they held important positions, they could not leave their posts for a long time, so they could only bring their families and return to the capital with the Crown Princess and Prince Zhaoyang.
In the carriage, Mu Lige frowned slightly, with a trace of worry on his face. He whispered to Hua Qingcheng, "Qingqing, isn't it a bit bad for us to just leave like this? After all, Zetian and Hongming are only seventeen years old. Wouldn't it be too hard for them to shoulder the responsibility of the family and the country?" There was a hint of heartache and reluctance in his voice.
Hua Qingcheng reached out and held Mu Lige's hand, with a serious expression on her face, and said slowly: "Brother Li, how about... I take back the imperial decree I issued before? Then return to the capital immediately and continue to perform my duties as emperor?" Her eyes were firm and persistent, as if she was really considering this decision.
Mu Lige's heroic brows knitted slightly as he fell into a brief moment of contemplation. After a moment, he sighed softly and continued, "Qingqing, I've thought about it carefully. Zetian and Hongming are actually not young anymore. Only through some trials and challenges can they truly grow. This arrangement may also be a form of training and opportunity, and it may be a good thing for them. Well, this arrangement is not bad, not bad..."
Hua Qingcheng raised the corners of her lips slightly, nodded, and smiled at Mu Lige.
