After I got into the drama, I led the plot astray

I had no choice but to take off my cloak and hang it on the hanger, then get into bed with it on, and lie close to Yiping under the same quilt.

Yi Ping whispered, "When Ankang left, he went to the Duke's Mansion to look for you, but you were already seriously ill and entered the palace, so he naturally couldn't find you. Later, he found me somehow and asked me to bring you a letter. If you hadn't come today, I would have almost forgotten about it."

After Yi Ping finished speaking, he lifted a corner of the thick quilt underneath, took out a letter and handed it to me.

I took the letter, opened it and started reading in front of Yiping.

What Ankang wrote in the letter was nothing but his reluctance to leave me. He thought that all his efforts would earn him the chance to be with me, but he didn't expect that he would end up leaving sadly in the end.

He wrote very sadly. After reading it, I could only sigh. Ankang might not know about me yet. If he knew that I would leave this world soon, I'm afraid he would never return to Xihe.

I stuffed the letter back into the envelope and said, "Ankang is a good person, but unfortunately I am in this state now and cannot give him any response."

Yi Ping hugged my waist tightly, resting his head on my shoulder, and whispered, "Second sister, after the New Year, will you come with me to the border? The wind and sand at the border are very strong. Sometimes the windows are not closed tightly, and a gust of wind blows, and the food we eat is covered with sand. Once, I almost broke my teeth. But the sunset there is really beautiful, the fruits are sweet, the mutton is fragrant, and the kumis is delicious."

I patted Yiping's head and said, "I can't drink much. I'm afraid I can't make it to the border."

When Yiping heard this, tears suddenly welled up in her eyes and she hugged me tightly and sobbed softly.

I sighed silently in my heart but didn't say anything. The only sound in the huge room was Yiping's low sobs.

We hugged each other and fell asleep without realizing it.

When we woke up, I opened my eyes and saw Zheng Bang standing beside the bed. I was so scared that I jumped up.

Yi Ping was still half asleep, mumbling, "Second sister, don't leave. I won't let you go."

I saw Zheng Bang's face gradually darkening, and I quickly got up and said, "We were chatting this afternoon and fell asleep. I'm leaving now."

I was putting on my shoes when Zheng Bang said faintly, "My princess never hugs me when she sleeps, but she hugged you and slept for the whole afternoon."

I looked at Zheng Bang, whose expression was uncertain. Could it be that he was jealous?

At this time, Yi Ping also sat up slowly. When she saw that it was Zheng Bang standing in front of me, she couldn't help but ask curiously: "When did you come back?"

Seeing that Yi Ping finally noticed his presence, Zheng Bang let out a cry of grievance, suddenly jumped onto the bed, hugged Yi Ping and said pitifully: "My dear princess, from now on, you can't sleep in the same bed with anyone except me, not even your own sister. Also, you have to hold me when you sleep in the future."

When I saw Zheng Bang like this, I couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Yi Ping was so embarrassed that her face turned red. She pushed Zheng Bang in annoyance, but failed to push him away. So she said angrily: "My second sister hasn't left yet. Isn't it embarrassing?"

Zheng Bang puffed his cheeks and said coquettishly, "What's there to be ashamed of? You've been hugging her for the whole afternoon, and I haven't even come to settle the score with her. How dare she think I'm ashamed?"

I couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Yi Ping was extremely embarrassed, his face flushed with shame, and he said unhappily, "You are talking like a pervert. If others hear you, won't they laugh at me?"

Zheng Bang rubbed his head against Yi Ping's shoulder like a kitten and said domineeringly: "Anyway, you can only hug me from now on, and no one else is allowed to hug you."

I really didn't want to see them showing off their affection, so I said, "It's getting late, and I have to go back to the Duke's Mansion. I'll come see you tomorrow."

When Yi Ping heard this, he quickly said, "You said it's getting late, why don't you stay and have dinner before leaving?"

I shook my head and said, "Look at how jealous your husband is. If I don't leave now, I'm afraid he will stick to you and won't get off."

After saying that, I immediately turned around and left without any hesitation. Yi Ping was so angry that she punched Zheng Bang on the shoulder and said angrily: "Look at what you have done. You pissed off my second sister and left."

Zheng Bang was not angry after being beaten, but said happily: "It's good that your second sister is gone. No one will bother us anymore."

Yiping...

I have wasted too much time in Prince Wu's Mansion. I had planned to visit the doctor's house in the afternoon, but now it seems that I can't go, so I asked Fuyao to go directly back to the Duke's Mansion.

When I returned to the Duke's Mansion, I saw Zhao Zhenyuan and Jinping's family waiting for me for dinner. Even Yingchun came with her son.

As soon as I walked into the main hall, Ah Qiao, who was still playing with Yingchun, noticed me first. She cheered happily and rushed towards me, which frightened Jinping so much that he cried out, "Ah Qiao, don't rush at your aunt. She's not in good health. Don't rush her."

But before he finished speaking, I picked up Aqiao, spun her around, kissed her on the face, and asked with a smile, "Aqiao, the cute little fairy, do you miss your aunt?"

"Yes, it's worth thinking about." Aqiao answered loudly.

I kissed Aqiao again and said, "It just so happens that Auntie misses you too."

After saying that, I glanced around the hall and realized that everyone was looking at me as if they had seen a ghost. Their mouths were open wide in surprise, big enough to swallow an egg!

I looked at Da Yan blankly and asked, "Why? You don't welcome me back?"

When Yingchun heard this, she quickly came forward holding her son and wanted to kneel down to me. I quickly held her and said with a smile: "It's not even the New Year yet, and you want to ask for a red envelope?"

When Yingchun heard this, she also laughed, and as she laughed, tears welled up in her eyes.

I reached out my hand to wipe away her tears and said, "Isn't that Zhang Yan a bad boy to you? Why are you crying as soon as you return to your mother's home?"

As soon as I finished speaking, Zhang Yan's voice came from outside the door: "Your Majesty, you are wronged. I wish I could give my heart to my wife. How dare I bully her."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Yan strode in from the door.

Zhang Yan was still wearing the clothes of the commander of the mansion guards. He was probably still on duty. When he heard that I was back, he hurried over to see me.

Zhang Yan walked up to me, bowed to me, then took the child from Yingchun's arms and said, "Little boy, did you call me aunt?"

Their son was only a year old and could hardly call people. After hearing what his father said, he turned his head away embarrassedly and dared not look at me again.

Yingchun rolled her eyes at Zhang Yan in annoyance and said, "You haven't even released your value yet, why are you running over here?"

Zhang Yan smiled and said, "I heard that the lady brought the child to see the lady, so I came to see her too."

After Zhang Yan finished speaking, she turned around and greeted Zhao Zhenyuan and Jinping.

Zhao Zhenyuan said: "Since we are here, let's sit down and eat together."

When Zheng Yunyan heard this, she quickly ordered the servants to serve dinner.

Back at the Duke's Mansion, there were naturally not so many rules. I sat casually next to Zhao Zhenyuan, while Jinping sat on Zhao Zhenyuan's right, and the others sat casually around the table.
