Chapter 162: The Young Lady Who Married to Another Family VS the Disabled Prince
Duke Lu knew the Princess of Huai'an. When she and Zhiyan were in the army, they had a very close relationship and some rumors had even spread around them.
He also made a plan and felt that the county lady's status was barely worthy of the banquet, and might be a good candidate.
After Hui Zhiyan's leg was injured, the matter was left unresolved.
Looking at Ye Zhenzhen, Duke Lu was extremely dissatisfied. He rolled his eyes and came over to the three of them. He carefully examined the Princess Huaian and said with a smile, "So you are the Princess Huaian. I've heard Zhiyan mention her before. You are indeed heroic and valiant, no less than a man."
Upon hearing this, the Princess of Huai'an's eyes twinkled. She asked with considerable interest, "Oh, the prince mentioned me? I wonder what he said about me?"
"He said you..." Duke Lu took over the conversation and was about to praise him, but was stopped by Lu Zhiyan's eyes. He glanced at him sharply, and after Duke Lu shut up, he indifferently sent him away.
"County Lady, it's already late. You said you were coming to visit my wife, but unfortunately, my wife is tired today. She is not like you, her body is delicate and she needs to rest."
The Princess of Huai'an was choked. She smiled awkwardly and said, "The prince really loves you, my lady."
She thought to herself, she is a princess after all, so how come Lu Zhiyan said she is thick-skinned and tough?
At the same time, a hint of loss flashed across her eyes.
Lu Zhiyan really likes his little wife very much.
Ye Zhenzhen remained silent the entire time. Only when she was about to see the guests off did she bow gracefully, her tone deliberately affected, "County Lady, I won't see you off any further."
……
The two brothers Zimu and Ziyang were almost injured from trying to hold back their laughter at the door.
It was the first time they saw the Princess of Huai'an being humiliated like this.
They all felt like they had breathed a sigh of relief.
……
Send everyone away and return to the house.
After Ye Zhenzhen sat down, the smile on her face faded. She looked up at Lu Zhiyan who followed her in and asked.
"Today, the prince is not avoiding me anymore?"
Lu Zhiyan knew that she was angry, so he sat on the stool next to her, poured her a cup of tea, and then began to explain.
"I just don't know how to tell you that I don't want to hide from you, it's just..."
"But, do you really like that Princess Huai'an?" Ye Zhenzhen deliberately interrupted him and asked jealously.
Lu Zhiyan choked. He originally wanted to explain why he hadn't come to the house in the past few days, but he didn't expect Ye Zhenzhen to suddenly turn over there.
"The Princess of Huai'an did express her affection for me when we were in the military camp. But..." He paused, subconsciously touched his knee, and smiled, "Ever since I was injured, she has avoided me like the plague. I don't know why she came to me again."
So this is ah……
Ye Zhenzhen understood. It seemed that this Huai'an County Lady wasn't that great either. After knowing the whole story, her expression brightened slightly. She hummed, then said, "What else could it be? Of course, seeing that you're better now, they want to reconcile."
Lu Zhiyan immediately said, "Impossible. I have sworn that I will only have my wife in this life, no one else."
Ye Zhenzhen looked at his serious expression and laughed. Her eyes were sparkling and the corners of her mouth were curved.
"Yeah, but Xixi does need a playmate."
As she spoke, she subconsciously stroked her lower abdomen with a gentle look.
……
Now that things are out of the question, of course we have to sleep in the same bed.
This was the first time that Lu Zhiyan hugged Ye Zhenzhen openly.
He rested his chin on Ye Zhenzhen's shoulder, and placed his palm lightly on her lower abdomen, as if feeling the new life inside.
It's all so magical.
Since he was injured, he never thought that he would see this day again.
I can stand up again and have my own children.
Originally, he just wanted to spend the rest of his life in this small courtyard.
And all of this was given to him by the petite woman in his arms.
"Zhenzhen, thank you."
"There's no need to thank each other between husband and wife." Ye Zhenzhen shook his hand and said, "I wrote to my grandfather to inform him of this matter. He left so suddenly that I didn't have time to see him. When he returns from the border this time, maybe he can catch up with the baby's birth."
Lu Zhiyan hugged her hand tightly and said softly, "Well, I will definitely catch up."
As he spoke, Lu Zhiyan smiled faintly, as if he had thought of something very interesting.
"By the way, the Spring Imperial Examination is approaching. I heard that my father-in-law has been actively arranging a husband for your second sister. Your second sister has been spreading the word that her husband will definitely be the top scorer in the imperial examination. She's been hosting a banquet for guests these days."
Ye Zhenzhen was a little surprised. She hadn't had much time to care about Ye Wanwan, and she didn't expect that she had done so many things recently.
Ye Zhenzhen wasn't sure whether he was the top scholar or not, but according to the original owner's memory, it would soon be time for the "top scholar" to exchange his wife for his future.
……
When the old general found out that Ye Zhenzhen was pregnant, he happened to be stationed at the old house.
Moonlight
He sat under the big tree in the yard, which he had planted himself when Ye Zhenzhen's mother was born.
Now, it has grown into a towering tree.
He asked someone to get a hoe and dig up the soil under the tree.
It took them an entire hour to dig out a red camphorwood box near the tree roots.
When the box was opened, there were some gold and silver jewelry and two pots of girl's red wine.
These were originally the dowry he prepared for his daughter.
When she was just born, he was not yet a prince, but just a soldier leader with some military achievements and little money.
These were the rewards he received over the years.
Men can earn everything by themselves, but women are different. He wants to prepare more dowry for his daughter so that she can live better in her husband's family.
What was he thinking when he buried these things?
Thinking of her, one year old, toddler, stumbling towards him.
Thinking about her, when she was seven or eight years old, she followed her brothers to climb trees to take bird eggs, and fell down and was scolded by her mother.
Thinking about her wedding day, she must have cried and refused to leave him.
At that time, he would take out the two pots of girl's red wine, get himself drunk, and would definitely not make her sad.
but……
She didn't end up getting married as he had imagined, and she didn't get to drink the two pots of girl's red wine. He opened the yellow and hard wine cap.
The rich aroma of wine wafted out from the pot. The old general picked up the pot and drank it all. In his hazy drunken state, he seemed to see his delicate and soft little girl stumbling into his arms and acting coquettishly.
"Daddy, Daddy, does your wound hurt? Let me comfort you~"
……
The old general fell drunk under a tree, clutching the wine jug tightly in his hands, muttering, "Now, Zhenzhen has a husband who loves her and a child. You should be very happy."
"You unfilial daughter, for so many years, you refused to see your father even in your dreams. Do you hate your father so much?"
"Don't worry, I will protect your daughter for you. I love her very much, just like I loved you back then. It's just that back then, I hadn't learned how to be a father yet."
