Chapter 170 Unstable Status
"Okay, I'll wait for your good news." Jiang Zhaoyue encouraged.
Ever since Feng Lanxin realized that Xiao Congbei had made a mistake, she didn't dare talk to anyone and kept everything to herself.
It wasn't until Jiang Zhaoyue knew everything that she felt like she had an outlet for all the things she had been holding back on. Sensing Jiang Zhaoyue's kindness, she subconsciously believed his encouragement and slowly uttered a single word: "Okay."
Jiang Zhaoyue nodded heavily.
"Mother! Mother!" The twins, a boy and a girl, leaned against the carriage window and shouted.
"Thank you, Sister-in-law, for seeing me off. We may never meet again in this life, but I will always wish you peace and happiness." Feng Lan thought to herself.
Jiang Zhaoyue said: "I will also wish you all the best."
"Then... I'm leaving."
"Everything is fine."
"good."
Even though she felt helpless and reluctant to leave Prince Jing's Mansion, the Feng family, and the capital, Feng Lanxin still decisively got on the carriage, hugged the twins in her arms, and burst into tears.
"Mother, don't cry."
"Mother, don't cry."
"Mother, I love you, don't cry."
"Mother, I love you too."
“…”
The twins, a boy and a girl, coaxed Feng Lanxin in a baby voice while stretching out their chubby little hands to wipe her tears.
Feng Lanxin hugged the child tightly and cried even louder.
The nanny, maid, servant boy and coachman could not help wiping away their tears.
Jiang Zhaoyue and Pei Jingzhou also heard Feng Lanxin crying.
Jiang Zhaoyue sighed.
Pei Jingzhou put his arm around Jiang Zhaoyue's shoulders and comforted her softly, "It's a good thing that you can cry."
Jiang Zhaoyue stared at the plain carriage and asked, "Are there only a few people following her?"
"Everything has been arranged in Lingzhou, and my father has also made arrangements for the journey. They won't be in any danger along the way." Pei Jingzhou said.
Jiang Zhaoyue nodded: "That's good."
"Then let's go back to the palace."
"Okay." Jiang Zhaoyue followed Pei Jingzhou back to the East Palace. Maybe because of her pregnancy, she was more sentimental. When she thought of Feng Lanxin and their two children, she felt a little melancholy.
Pei Jingzhou comforted him many times.
Jiang Zhaoyue recovered quickly. When spring came and flowers bloomed, she received a letter from Feng Lanxin and couldn't help but smile.
"Princess, have some tea." Xiangqiao brought the tea bowl.
Jiang Zhaoyue took it and took a sip, then handed the tea bowl to her. He couldn't help but feel happy and chatted with her, "Princess Jing has arrived in Lingzhou."
"Have you just arrived?" Seeing that the Crown Princess was in the mood to talk, Xiangqiao followed suit.
Jiang Zhaoyue nodded: "It's been a month."
"I heard that Lingzhou is quite desolate."
"It's not as desolate as I imagined. It's mainly because Princess Jing has been through strong winds, heavy rain, hail, her child's illness, and acclimatization issues along the way—"
Before Jiang Zhaoyue could finish, Xiang Qiao frowned and exclaimed, "So difficult?"
Jiang Zhaoyue sighed, "Yes, it was because of these hardships that she felt that survival had a new meaning. She shouldn't be confined to those petty emotions in her heart. She wanted to live as long as possible and live with spirit."
"Princess Jing said it very well!" Xiangqiao agreed.
"She did it. She took her two children and servants to shelter from the wind and rain, she cared for her two children, she overcame her illness, she helped passers-by, she saw the rich and diverse scenery along the way, and she received praise from the villages she passed by."
“That’s great.”
"yes."
"Princess Jing is a beautiful and kind person."
"That's right." Jiang Zhaoyue didn't expect Feng Lanxin to be so strong and get out of the haze so quickly. She was very happy and wanted to talk to Pei Jingzhou about it.
But when it was dark, he still didn't come back.
Pei Jing came back and said, "Your Highness the Crown Prince is very busy today and will be back very late. Your Highness the Crown Prince asked the Crown Princess to have a good meal and rest early."
Pei Jingzhou has been extremely busy recently, and no one knows what he is busy with. Jiang Zhaoyue wanted to ask him, but she was very sleepy. Pei Jingzhou still didn't come back, so she hugged the quilt and went to sleep.
In a daze, I heard voices.
She opened her eyes and saw Pei Jingzhou talking to her big belly.
"Why did you kick your mother just now? Stop kicking and let your mother sleep well." After Jiang Zhaoyue became pregnant, the fetal movements became more obvious. Pei Jingzhou stayed with Jiang Zhaoyue whenever he was free and took care of her food, clothing, housing and transportation personally, so he naturally understood all these things.
"Your Highness." Jiang Zhaoyue called out.
Jiang Zhaoyue used to be unable to wake up even when there was thunder and wind at night. After she became pregnant, she always had trouble sleeping. Pei Jingzhou asked distressedly, "Did I wake you up?"
"Yeah." Jiang Zhaoyue responded.
"sorry."
"It's okay. When did you come back?" Jiang Zhaoyue saw that Pei Jingzhou had already showered and changed into his underwear.
"I just came back." Pei Jingzhou sat on the bed.
Jiang Zhaoyue suddenly cried out, "My right leg is cramping."
Pei Jingzhou skillfully massaged Jiang Zhaoyue's legs.
Jiang Zhaoyue's cramps eased: "Okay, come up and sleep."
Pei Jingzhou lay down.
Jiang Zhaoyue's belly is getting bigger and bigger, and she can no longer hold Pei Jingzhou like an octopus as before.
Pei Jingzhou hugged her from behind and stroked her belly with his big hand.
"Your Highness, you have been very busy lately." Jiang Zhaoyue leaned in Pei Jingzhou's arms.
Pei Jingzhou responded gently: "Well, there are some tricky things to deal with."
"What's the difficult matter?" Jiang Zhaoyue asked in a muffled voice.
Pei Jingzhou wanted to talk about something difficult, but he heard Jiang Zhaoyue's breathing. Knowing that she was very busy every day, he did not disturb her. He stroked her belly, kissed her ear, and slowly closed his eyes.
The next day, Jiang Zhaoyue woke up and, just like recently, she couldn't see Pei Jingzhou. So she ate on time and went to the garden to digest the food.
Princess Duojia came at this time: "Grand Empress Sister-in-law."
"How come you have time to come here?" Jiang Zhaoyue asked.
"I missed you." Princess Duojia said.
Jiang Zhaoyue was tired from walking and walked to the stone table next to him.
Xiangqiao quickly put the mat she brought with her on the stone bench.
Jiang Zhaoyue sat down slowly.
"Well, actually I'm quite bored too," Princess Duojia said as she sat down. "Qin Lu is so busy every day that I barely see him."
"What is Qin Lu busy with?" Jiang Zhaoyue asked.
"I'm busy with the same thing as my eldest brother." Princess Duojia watched Xiangqiao set out snacks and tea. She took a piece and took a bite, saying as she chewed, "Those court officials are so idle, staring at my eldest brother all day long."
Jiang Zhaoyue didn't know about this yet and asked, "Why?"
"Because of the Border State War."
"That was Xiao Congbei who framed me."
"But the people in the border states and the capital don't believe it. They just believe that the eldest prince has no ability and think that Xiao Congbei is a scapegoat. It's really infuriating. Some court officials already think that the eldest prince grew up in the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion and have a grudge against him. They use this matter to criticize the eldest prince." Princess Duojia was extremely dissatisfied with those court officials.
Jiang Zhaoyue couldn't help but frown when he heard this.
Princess Duojia then said, "Now my eldest brother is preparing to go to the battlefield."
Jiang Zhaoyue was shocked: "What?"
