Chapter 238: Meet Again
Prince An had good intentions, that was for sure, but his brother, Prince Qi, didn't appreciate it. He glared at him, even if it was unreasonable.
"Why should the court punish me?
The prince and the princess have brought people to defend our country and are loyal to Dayu. The emperor should praise us!
If he really punishes me, I will grab a rope and hang myself at the gate of his Qianyuan Palace in the middle of the night. I will see what the history books will say then.
Humph, who are you bullying? You are a wimp! "
The words came one after another so densely that Prince An, who had been wanting to speak up to give advice, was unable to get a word in. He could only turn his head helplessly and look at Prince Qi's nemesis.
"Fourth brother's wife, the fourth brother is in this state now, and you don't care about it?"
Jiang Wan smiled and glanced at the arrogant Li Laosi. The other party's current vomiting service benefits have not been exhausted and are still within the tolerable range.
So she smiled gently.
"Brother, you may not know that my husband has truly worked hard and made great contributions this time. At the time, I was pregnant and I led a city full of the elderly, the weak, the women, and the children to defend the city. You can imagine how heavy the casualties would have been.
As a vassal king, my husband naturally cares for the people under his rule, which is why he led his troops to fight back against the invading enemy. As for the claim that some officials have reported my prince for disobeying the emperor's orders, this is truly a huge misunderstanding!
As I said before, my prince felt sorry for the people, so he led his troops to counterattack as soon as he returned. Didn't this just happen to miss the angel who came to announce the decree?
This kind of mistake is something no one wants to happen. It's all a misunderstanding!"
After listening to his younger brother's nonsense and then his sister-in-law's nonsense, His Royal Highness Prince An couldn't help but twitched his mouth, then slapped his thigh with a look of regret.
"Why would this prince, when he has nothing better to do, submit a rebuttal memorial?
With your two mouths that can fool people, who can get away with anything under your words?
I regret this, and the old man will definitely write a letter to scold me later! Sigh."
Prince An sighed with deep regret as he brought his younger siblings home. The pregnant Princess Qi was given a warm welcome.
"The daughter-in-law has met her mother."
"Wanjie, oh my, hurry up and get up! How can you bow when your belly is so obvious? Sit down and rest. You must be exhausted from the journey, right?
"Look at that irrational brat, Lao Si. He's been acting incoherently since he was little! How could you travel such a long distance when you're pregnant? If anything were to happen, I'd tell you if I'd forgive him!"
"Thank you for your concern, mother. We walked very slowly along the way, but I didn't feel very tired. Hello, sister-in-law."
"Fourth brother's wife, please don't be polite. You must have traveled all this way. I've already ordered people to clean up the guest house. You must stay with us for a few days before leaving."
Princess An has always had a simple personality, which has remained unchanged since she was a child. Even now that she is a mother of a child, her smile is still pure and sweet.
Jiang Wan likes such simple people very much. Although she can't do it, it doesn't stop her from liking them.
"Thank you, sister-in-law."
"You're welcome."
The two sisters-in-law chatted happily, and the old mother beside them smiled broadly at Jiang Wan's slightly bulging belly. Zhao took the little white hand and clapped it excitedly.
"Your mother wrote to me a while ago, saying that you and the fourth child were having a child. I was so happy that I couldn't sleep well all night! Did you receive the gift I sent you?"
"I got it."
Jiang Wan smiled and nodded.
"Not only did you send a batch, but the Queen Mother also sent a batch, and then my mother arranged another batch. I eat different kinds of food every day. Look at my face, has it been swollen from eating these past few months? I'm almost too fat to look at!"
Zhao stared at the beautiful face, looking left and right. The more she looked, the more satisfied she became, with a loving smile in her eyes.
"Nonsense! You're already pregnant, how can you not eat something good? Besides, what's wrong with your appearance? I think our eldest sister is naturally beautiful and looks good in every way! The child you give birth to in the future will definitely be the most handsome one in our Li family!"
The old mother is really good at talking. While coaxing her daughter-in-law on the street, she did not forget her daughter-in-law at home.
"Just like your sister-in-law, she had fair skin and a beautiful complexion during her pregnancy! Look at her now that she's given birth, she's even prettier than before, isn't she?"
Princess An, who was praised by her mother-in-law again, sat beside her, smiling and nodding her head.
"Fourth sister-in-law, I'm telling you, you have to listen to my mother. She's very experienced!
As pregnant women, we must eat well, drink well, sleep well and be happy every day. This way, not only will we be beautiful, but our babies will be beautiful too.
Of course I know you're already beautiful, but if you listen to us, you'll definitely be even more beautiful, and it will also benefit the baby in your belly!"
Princess An gradually lost herself in the constant praise from her mother-in-law and husband. She truly believed that she had gained weight after giving birth, and now her whole body exuded the charm of a plump beauty.
The seriousness on their faces amused Jiang Wan, who then nodded in agreement, indicating that he would definitely listen to the advice of these experienced people.
Zhao looked at her naive daughter-in-law who was fooled by the fourth son's wife and was at a loss as to what to do, and she couldn't help but smile and raised the corners of her lips.
Although this child is silly, he is kind-hearted and filial. Now they are a happy couple and have a cute child. This is already a very lucky thing.
It's better than the eldest son really being paired with Song Ziying. The third son is smarter than the eldest son but ended up in a wasteland. If he really was paired with the eldest son, Zhao didn't think that her son would be better than Qiao Yunshu's son.
Alas, it’s a pity for the third brother…
Li Chengxiu, who had finished talking to his elder brother outside, strode into the house with great energy, kowtowed to Zhao and used the honorific title.
"Mother, your son greets you. I wish you good health and all the best!"
"Old Four, get up quickly!"
Zhao let go of Jiang Wan's hand, bent down with red eyes and grabbed Li Chengxiu's arm. The other party was very sensible and took two steps on his knees to get closer to her legs.
"Why did you lead the fight? When I first heard your eldest brother say that, I was so frightened that I couldn't sleep all night!
You disobedient brat, you only have a few men under your command, and you dare to fight to the death with the Linyue Kingdom? If something happens, will you let us old people live? You are so clueless..."
While crying and blaming and complaining, he checked the house from top to bottom, inside and out several times, and kept muttering to himself.
"Are you hurt? I heard the Liao people are very strong and good at fighting. When your father was young, he never fought with them easily. How come you are so brave?"
