Chu Tianze interrupted with a smile, "Mother, let's go inside and talk first!"
“Ze’er is right. Xiao Xiao, let’s go inside first. From now on, you should take good care of yourself and leave the things outside to Ze’er. You can’t overwork yourself anymore.”
As Madam Xu helped Bai Chuxiao walk inside, she gave her instructions.
"I understand, Mother," Bai Chuxiao replied helplessly.
Although Lanxiang and the others wanted to get closer to their young mistress, they didn't want to disturb Madam Xu's conversation, so they could only follow silently behind her.
After the group entered the mansion, Bai Chuxiao had just sat down when Madam Xu began to take her pulse.
After a while, Madam Xu frowned and said, "Xiaoxiao had a miscarriage earlier, and her pulse is not very stable."
"Mother, is it possible to cure Xiaoxiao?" Chu Tianze asked worriedly.
Hearing this, Bai Chuxiao felt uneasy. She had indeed been overworked and stressed recently, and with that glass of strong liquor, she was only able to survive thanks to her good health.
Madam Xu smiled and said, "Don't worry, it's good that you're back now. I'll prescribe a new prescription, and as long as we don't cause any more trouble, there won't be any more problems!"
Chu Tianze breathed a sigh of relief, and Bai Chuxiao said with a smile, "Then I'll have to trouble Mother."
Chu Tianze led Bai Chuxiao back to the main courtyard, but his face showed a hint of something he wanted to say but couldn't.
Bai Chuxiao raised an eyebrow. "Are you trying to say that we have to rush back?"
Chu Tianze nodded. "After being away for a month, the army has approached the Huai River, but we have few troops, so crossing the river will still not be easy."
"Go back now. I'm staying in Yongzhou, and there's no danger for me. You don't need to worry!" Bai Chuxiao suppressed her reluctance and said with a smile.
Chu Tianze gently pulled her into his arms, "Xiaoxiao, I'm sorry, I don't think I'm a good husband..."
"What are you saying? You're no use to me anyway, so you might as well go back sooner..."
Bai Chuxiao patted him and said that she didn't really want Chu Tianze to leave either. She hadn't felt anything when they were apart for a while, but since she had this little bun, she realized that having someone by her side was different.
But they all knew very well that the most important thing now was the war, and they couldn't afford to lose.
"As long as I have time, I will come back immediately. The battle of Huaijiang will definitely end before this little thing is born. Xiaoxiao, wait for me!" Chu Tianze looked at the somewhat thin woman in his arms with reluctance, and a look of guilt appeared on his face.
"Yes, Xiao Baozi and I will wait for you to come back..." Bai Chuxiao leaned on his shoulder and said softly.
"Little Bun?" Chu Tianze was both amused and exasperated by this nickname.
"Don't you like it? You should remember to think about Little Baozi's name when you have time!"
Chu Tianze hesitated for a moment, "You mean 'Little Bun' is a nickname? That doesn't seem quite right..."
"How can it be so cute!" Bai Chuxiao said with some dissatisfaction. Buns, little buns, so cute with their round and chubby appearance.
The two were initially reluctant to part, but this slightly rustic nickname dissipated somewhat. Chu Tianze said with a dark expression, "No way! It's not cute at all. If a pretty girl is named Baozi (steamed bun), people will laugh at us to death!"
"What if it's not a girl?" Bai Chuxiao raised an eyebrow.
“Besides, if she’s just a girl, she absolutely can’t be called Baozi (steamed bun),” Chu Tianze, who is usually obedient, insisted on this matter.
"Hmph, if you hadn't come back in time, it would have been called Chu Xiaobao, and that name couldn't be changed..." Bai Chuxiao grumbled.
Chu Tianze remained silent for a long while before finally saying firmly, "She won't call me Chu Xiaobao!"
Chu Xiaobao? Chu Baozi? Is this what the eldest son and daughter of the Prince's mansion are called? Anyone who didn't know better would think they were some kind of country bumpkin.
Seeing the sudden suspicion in Chu Tianze's expression, Bai Chuxiao raised an eyebrow. "What are you thinking? You're not cursing me in your heart, are you?"
Chu Tianze shook his head and hesitated, "I was just wondering, were the poems that Xiaoxiao wrote before really written by herself?"
This name selection is hardly the work of a talented woman capable of composing such exquisite poems. It's hard to believe it was inspired by any particular poem; at least, he's never heard of it.
"Hehe, you're only realizing this now? Those poems were all from my dreams. I could never write them. It's too late for you to regret it now..." Bai Chuxiao said with a smile. She had never been associated with being a talented woman in either her past or present life.
Chu Tianze smiled helplessly, "We weren't going to follow a romantic story of talented scholars and beautiful women anyway. I'll think about the name..."
When Chu Tianze returned, he only met with Murong Yuan and the others once, and stayed for another night. The next morning, he took Mo Yan and Mo Wen back to the battlefield.
When Bai Chuxiao opened her eyes, she felt a sense of emptiness beside her and couldn't help but feel a little lost.
"Is Your Highness awake?" Lanxiang asked, glancing at the sun as she knocked on the door.
"Come in!" Bai Chuxiao suppressed her emotions and responded.
Lanxiang and the others came in carrying toiletries.
"Miss, you really have a young lady and a young master..." Qingzhu asked in disbelief.
With the prince by their side yesterday, they didn't even have time to speak to the princess...
"Otherwise what?" Bai Chuxiao said irritably, looking at the little girl's expression.
Lanxin also placed the meal on the table. "Your Highness, this is a meal that I have carefully prepared. It is most suitable for you to eat now. You have lost weight since you left..."
Bai Chuxiao walked to the table and smiled, "So thoughtful of you all, it's not like I've spoiled you for nothing."
"Hehe, Your Highness, we've even made several sets of clothes for the young ladies and gentlemen..." Lanxiang said with a smile.
Bai Chuxiao, who was having her meal, said helplessly, "Isn't it unnecessary to do it so early..."
"Of course we need to prepare in advance, we can't be careless, hehe..."
Bai Chuxiao shook her head helplessly, not wanting to dampen the girls' enthusiasm, "How is things going with Sister Xihan?"
"With the care of the Old Madam, the First Madam, and the Second Madam, the Second Young Madam is doing very well..."
Now that the Murong family only has this one little grandson, they naturally take excellent care of him, which put Bai Chuxiao at ease.
Upon hearing that those he had sent out had all been arrested, Chu Tianling flew into a rage once again.
"Useless! A bunch of good-for-nothings! You can't do anything right! What use are you to me?"
"Your Majesty, please calm your anger," Bai Linan said, kneeling on the ground with his head bowed.
"Have you forgotten what I told you before you left? Since I ascended the throne, you have not accomplished a single task I have given you. Is it that you have a problem with your abilities, or are you deliberately trying to trip me up...?" Chu Tianling said coldly, looking at the person lying on the ground.
"Your Majesty knows about my relationship with that rebellious daughter; she doesn't even respect the Bai family..."
"Hmph, your own daughter doesn't even care about the Bai family, so what use are you to me?" Chu Tianling said with a sinister expression.
