Chapter 99 Parting Ways



"Hehe~"

The next morning (August 16), Hua Qingcheng woke up to the sound of a hen crowing.

After the family had finished their breakfast prepared by the servants, Hua Qingcheng brought her husband, seven servants and seventeen children to the mansion of the wealthy family next door where her mother and father lived.

"What? You're going to Xuanyi Valley?"

In the hall, after learning of Hua Qingcheng's decision, Nalan Yunzhi suddenly lost his composure.

Hua Qingcheng smiled wryly and said, "Queen Mother, you are only in your early fifties now, full of energy and in the prime of life. You can rule for another twenty years without any problem."

"Besides, I just want to take my husband and wife to Xuanyi Valley to take care of the pregnancy. After all, they are all over thirty years old and are of advanced maternal age. For the health of your wives and granddaughters and grandchildren, going to Xuanyi Valley to take care of the pregnancy is the best choice."

Hearing Hua Qingcheng's words, Nalan Yunzhi internally rejected it. After all, what if the emperor's daughter never returned, staying in Xuanyi Valley? Wouldn't she then be entangled in endless court affairs again? How would she have time to look for Feng Lingyan then?

No! Absolutely not!

Thinking of this, Nalan Yunzhi quickly pretended to be weak, but she waved her hands repeatedly and said weakly: "Qingcheng, I am fifty-four years old now, and your father is fifty-one. We are both old. Now I just want your father to change his mind as soon as possible and reconcile with me. Otherwise... I will die with regrets... cough cough cough..."

Hua Qingcheng couldn't help but frown when she saw Nalan Yunzhi looking sick.

She thought to herself: This mother is really good at pretending. If someone doesn't know her, they would think she is terminally ill when she looks like this!

Nalan Yunzhi glanced at Hua Qingcheng from the corner of his eye, and then said casually, "Qingcheng, the princess is already seventeen this year. When you were her age, you not only had a husband and servants, but also ascended the throne and ruled the country. Time... flies..."

After hearing Nalan Yunzhi's words, Hua Qingcheng felt as if she had been enlightened.

Then, she turned her head to look at Nalan Zetian and said seriously, "Princess, your father and several uncles are now pregnant with Phoenix descendants. For their sake and the sake of their unborn children, I plan to take them to Xuanyi Valley to recuperate for a period of time. During my absence from the capital, you, the princess, will be the regent. But don't worry, as long as three months have passed and their pregnancies are stable, I will return to the capital."

Nalan Zetian, who still felt like a child in her heart, couldn't help but curl her lips slightly, but for the sake of her father, several uncles, and her soon-to-be-born sisters and brothers, she knew she had no reason to refuse.

Nalan Zetian bowed respectfully and said, "Your Highness, I will obey your Majesty's command!"

"Well, very good." Hua Qingcheng nodded, and then turned her gaze to the eldest son Su Muhongming.

"Hongming, your father is pregnant again. It will take at least eight more months for the baby to be born. You are the Crown Prince of Zhaoyang. So, starting today, you will temporarily take over the position of King Zhaoyang and handle the affairs of Zhaoyang State."

Su Muhongming looked at the haggard Hua Qingcheng and the pale Mu Lige, nodded helplessly, and said, "Your Highness will obey the command of the Queen Mother!"

"That's great." Hua Qingcheng nodded slightly and said with a smile, "Zetian, Hongming, you two have been so sensible since childhood. Your mother and father are very pleased."

"Sister, I..." Hua Qingguo was about to say something, but suddenly he felt a discomfort in his stomach, which made him feel nauseous.

"Brother-in-law, you wouldn't be..." Han Yichen looked at Hua Qingguo suspiciously, then took his hand and took his pulse.

"Third brother-in-law, is Qingguo okay?" Ye Ling'er looked at Han Yichen nervously.

Han Yichen's narrow, almond-shaped eyes narrowed slightly, a pair of silky, seductive eyes that looked wickedly alluring. He pondered for a moment, then parted his lips and said, "It's okay, he's just been pregnant for over two months."

"Really? That's great!" Three months after getting married, her husband was already two months pregnant. Ye Ling'er was overjoyed.

"May God bless us! May our ancestors bless us!" Upon hearing this, Ye Maochun, who was standing by, clasped her hands together with a look of joy on her face, thanking God and the ancestors of the Hua family. Hua Rongsheng beside her also had a look of joy on her face.

"That's great!" Lian Xing recalled the difficulties she faced when she was pregnant with Ye Ling'er and gave birth to her. Now that she saw that she had started a family and was about to become a mother, she couldn't help but shed tears.

"Liangchen, this is a happy event. You should be happy." Situ Wanqing comforted softly.

Upon hearing this, Lian Xing covered her tears with her sleeves and nodded with emotion.

Feng Cailan, who suddenly learned that she was going to be a grandmother again, couldn't help but smile happily. Yu Jingyang shook her hand and smiled at her.

Feng Lingyan had watched Hua Qingguo grow up, personally taught her how to read and write, and passed on all his life's learning to this student. He had long loved Hua Qingguo like his own son. Now that Hua Qingguo had a successor, Feng Lingyan was also very happy.

Feng Qiyan nudged Ye Ling'er with her arm and teased, "Alright, Ling'er. You finally didn't bring shame to our Feng family. Look at your two brothers-in-law. After giving birth to twins, they're each pregnant with two more! It's been almost two months."

As Feng Qiyan finished speaking, Shan You's fair and handsome face couldn't help but blush slightly. And although Shan Zuo appeared calm on the outside, his slightly red ears still revealed his inner unrest.
