Wen Yanche put his arm around Leng Qingning with one hand, "It's alright, Ning'er. After the child is born, I will send you a message to inform you of the child's gender, and the wife will choose the child's name."
"Okay," Leng Qingning replied sweetly, leaning against his shoulder.
Chi Yan withdrew his gaze...
“My lady, I will go with you.” Cang Yuan volunteered.
After a moment's thought, Leng Qingning readily agreed, "Okay."
The other husbands did not follow Cang Yuan, because they knew they would not be of much help even if they went. Vice Minister Cang was highly skilled in martial arts and could help his wife, and General Yao was even more so.
I'd better not go and cause trouble; I can't hold my wife back.
Leng Qingning stared intently at Wen Yanche: If A-Che weren't pregnant now, she would definitely have invited him to come along.
In terms of strategy and wisdom, no one can compare to him.
The slight regret can only be quietly shared with them late at night when all is quiet.
That night, the couple and several others sat around the flower hall and chatted all night long.
As dawn broke, Jin Yan quickly washed up and went straight to the army to take stock of the troops and hand over command.
With over a dozen pairs of panda eyes and swollen eyes, the husbands went back to their respective courtyards to catch up on sleep. Only then did Leng Qingning take Wen Yanche's hand and return to Hemian Garden to rest.
A few months ago, Sang Yu had already been admitted to the Imperial Academy. Before going to sleep, Leng Qingning still left a long letter and entrusted Wen Yanche to deliver it to Chaofeng Hall.
Next comes time for the couple to be alone together...
(+ words omitted.)
The next morning, he went to Sanshengluo and gave Fu Wen all the manuscripts of "Journey to the East" at once. He also took his husbands to Yellow Crane Tower and took out 400,000 taels of silver notes to give to Wen Yanche.
During the time away, one must leave enough money for the husbands' expenses.
In the evening, Leng Qingning studied the terrain of the Qi and Huai kingdoms in her study, meticulously researching every mountain, city, and pass, memorizing them thoroughly.
It was completely dark when I left the study.
"Your Highness," Qiu Ge bowed.
"Chou Ge? Have you been waiting outside the door the whole time?"
"Your Highness, it is time to retire to the Moon Gazing Pavilion tonight."
After being reminded, Leng Qingning nodded, "Let's go."
Wangyue Pavilion
After washing up and turning off the lights, Gu Nanshu lay down, feeling extremely reluctant to leave.
"My lady, please take good care of yourself and return safely. Our child is waiting for you to come back and name him."
"good."
"This journey is dangerous. I will have Qiu Ge accompany you and take care of you. Is that alright?"
Leng Qingning refused: "No, Nan Shu. There aren't so many rules on the battlefield. I can take Biluo, Fuguang, and Baiyu with me."
Gu Nanshu insisted, "My lady, you should take him with you. He is reliable and someone will take care of you so I can feel at ease."
Jin Yan accompanied him this time, which made Gu Nanshu a little jealous. Of all his husbands, he was the only one he was wary of, Jin Yan.
Leng Qingning pretended to be angry and questioned him: "Nan Shu, why are you so eager to send me people? Do you think I haven't married enough? If that's the case, how about I marry ten or eight more when we get to Qi? If that's not enough, I can go to Huai and search for a hundred or so handsome men. I'm sure these two countries have plenty of beauties."
"My lady, you know?" Gu Nanshu asked, embarrassed.
Leng Qingning chuckled and snuggled into his arms. "My husband, you've made Qiu Ge appear in front of me every day, making his presence felt. It's hard not to know him."
Gu Nanshu was torn. On the one hand, he did think that Qiu Ge was good-looking and had a good character and wanted to promote him to be a virtuous servant. On the other hand, he thought of Jin Yan and Chi Yan, whose personalities were unconventional and made them stand out among the husbands.
In my heart, I didn't want my wife to like the two of them too much, since I was completely different from them.
The only way is to use magic to defeat magic, and find a similar man to distract the wife's attention. That way, after the wife leaves, he will have more thoughts about her.
"My wife... your husband..."
Seeing that he remained silent for a long time and hesitated, Leng Qingning did not want to offend her husband, so she agreed, "Nan Shu, I will take him with me."
"Mmm," Gu Nanshu replied gently.
...
Because her husbands were reluctant to part and wanted to spend more time with her, Leng Qingning simply moved the war materials to the front hall to read. All her husbands sat quietly in the hall watching her, so as not to disturb her preparations for the expedition and to spend more time with each other.
"They're all here."
Shen Su walked into the hall.
Hearing that Leng Qingning was about to go into battle, Shen Su came to see her off.
Hearing the familiar greeting, Chi Yan looked up at him.
This person? Isn't that the veiled man?
Last time, it was also in the lobby, with the same number of people, and he was brutally attacked while he was just a spectator watching the show!
Shen Su casually glanced around and met a pair of stunningly beautiful, world-weary eyes.
He looks very arrogant!
Suddenly, my heart skipped a beat. Who is this arrogant guy?
"Young Master Shen, you've arrived." Leng Qingning put down the documents in her hand and invited Shen Su to sit down.
Shen Su stared straight at Chi Yan, then asked Leng Qingning in a questioning tone, "Ning, who is he?"
Chi Yan frowned. How could this person be so rude?
How should I talk to Ning'er?
The tone was as harsh as a lion trying to defend its territory.
The husbands also looked at Shen Su strangely.
Has Shen Shaojun taken the wrong medicine?
Leng Qingning chuckled and said, "Well... he is the Lord of the Azure Sky, you've met him before."
Shen Su exclaimed, "Him? He's Chi Yan?"
So focused on his face that he didn't notice the other person's figure, Shen Su took another look at Chi Yan's physique and said, "It really is."
Last time, Chi Yan was wearing a mask, so I guessed he was good-looking. How could he be so good-looking?
A tremendous pressure sank down from above, making my heart sink and my breathing become rapid.
I had only planned to come today to see them off, but it looks like I'll have to change my plans and speed things up.
Some things are better said sooner rather than later.
"Young Master Shen, are you alright?" Leng Qingning asked the question everyone wanted to ask.
Shen Su took a deep breath and slowly exhaled, his eyes, the only part of his face visible, crinkled with beautiful eye bags. He smiled and said, "It's alright, I'm fine."
He sat down as if nothing had happened, picked up the tea that the servant had just brought up, and took a big gulp while half-lifting his veil.
The initial taste is incredibly hot.
"Pfft~~"
"It's so hot!"
He sprayed tea from a distance, which splashed onto Chi Yan's face and into his clothes.
The skin on my face quickly turned red.
Chi Yan's expression instantly turned angry, and Yuan Shan hurriedly wiped his face.
Seeing his angry expression, the husbands suddenly recalled the scene of Chi Yan's outburst of anger.
It feels like just yesterday; I haven't seen him so angry in a long time.
This familiar atmosphere, which he hasn't seen in a long time, isn't it going to upset the young master?
Leng Qingning was stunned, staring at Shen Su with a headache. Was this something she could do?
I immediately thought of Chi Yan about to go berserk and slap someone. No way!
That's Shen Shaojun, not Lang Yue!
She quickly stepped forward and used her sleeve to wipe the reddened area on his body. "Ayan, does it hurt?"
"Yuanshan, go and get the ointment."
Yuanshan got angry, glared at Chen Su, snorted, and turned to leave.
