The princess only wants to get rich and support her family

On New Year's Eve, the people standing at the entrance of the village looking forward to it were not only Hu Luanfei, but also Wen Ruoxue, Le Yao and Yun Xuxu.

What I'm waiting for is not a man, but a letter from home.

This is the way the world is now, with wars everywhere.

This is true for Beiqiu and Daqian as well.

Even though we are all in a difficult situation, as long as there is hope, we will not be disappointed.

Qi Siliao sent an urgent letter home over a distance of 800 miles. At the same time, he also received letters from the Daqian royal family, one of which looked strange.

After the unpleasant incident with the letter last time, Hu Luanfei took the letter to show to Wen Ruoxue. Knowing that it was another note from Aunt Xiuhe, Hu Luanfei personally wrote a letter back and began a life of open and secret struggles with Aunt Xiuhe, whom he had never met.

Knowing that the barbarians were difficult to deal with, Qi Siliao and the others might not even be able to return for the Lantern Festival. Several gossipy women in the village talked about them behind their backs, all of them thinking that although they were beautiful, they could only be beautiful vases living as widows.

Hu Luanfei's disgust towards those gossipy women deepened.

The beginning days were fine. Hu Luanfei was not a spoiled rich girl and was good at everything from killing chickens to slaughtering ducks. Yansi and Fu Ling also called their men to come and help, and it was quite lively.

After New Year's Eve, the lively atmosphere gradually turned into a lonely one. The village still beat gongs and drums, and children still went around the village to pay New Year's greetings and eat rice cakes.

Hu Luanfei always boasted that she was in great health and rarely got sick. But after the Lantern Festival, she sometimes felt overwhelmed and always felt sleepy.

Xuanyuan Yuqing's medical skills have always been praised by the people of Beiqiu, so she went to him for treatment. But seeing his frowning brows, Hu Luanfei suddenly felt unsure.

"As the new year begins, please stop frowning. It makes me think I have an incurable disease."

Xuanyuan Yuqing chuckled and had to report truthfully: "Congratulations, my sister. Congratulations, my sister. You have been pregnant for more than a month."

"really?"

This news made her ignore the way Xuanyuan Yuqing addressed her.

Xuanyuan Yuqing affirmed: "You can doubt my character, but you cannot doubt my medical skills."

Hu Luanfei's face immediately flushed, his eyebrows and eyes curved, and he was so happy as if he had eaten honey, revealing two cute little fangs, as if he couldn't believe it.

"I finally...have a child."

As the news of the pregnancy spread, more and more people came to visit. The scene was really crowded and lively.

Finally, because she was sleepy, besides the women nearby, the only person who came most often was Fu Ling. She also came to tell her a good news that she was going to be a mother.

Everyone knows that Hu Luanfei is a workaholic. Even if she is so sleepy that she can't open her eyes, she will not give up farming in the spring.

Fortunately, Wen Ruoxue and her friends had anticipated this outcome, and although they complained, they were happy and at ease. During breaks from the busy farming season, they would get together to do some handicrafts, such as sewing clothes and socks for babies, and the days passed quickly.

When Xuanyuan Li learned that she was pregnant, he often sent small baskets to deliver things to her, occasionally helped with the housework, and occasionally drove the sheep around. But she saw him secretly wiping tears several times, and when she asked him, she found out that he was moved to tears by the scenery of Menghu Mountain.

April is here in the blink of an eye, and both Menghu Mountain and Beiqiu have changed a lot better than in previous years.

Although Hu Luanfei didn't like to go to Beiqiu, she could not hide the affairs of Beiqiu from her, and they were passed on through Xuanyuan Yuqing and Xiaolanzi.

But they were afraid of hindering her pregnancy, so they only spoke a few paragraphs. But from these few short sentences, I could get the general idea.

Because of her previous proposal, the Third Prince was sent to the battlefield by Xuanyuan Li to assist the Crown Prince. Perhaps because of the arrival of his nephew, Nalan Qi's arrogance has reached its peak. He doesn't even look at the Crown Prince and has been trying his best to train his nephew.

The general's son was a man of great strength, and could not be compared with a weak scholar. The third prince had been pampered since he was a child, and the most common scene he had seen was the fight between snakes and rats.

It's like killing an enemy. The enemy is just like you, a living person with all limbs intact. With one cut, blood splatters three feet away.

According to reports, the Third Prince participated in killing the enemy for the first time and was repeatedly nauseated by the smell of blood. When he saw the enemy and our soldiers falling in front of him, his eyes turned black and he fainted. The most embarrassing thing was that he was so scared that he wet his pants. In the end, the Crown Prince couldn't bear it and tried his best to rescue him.

However, such a handsome face was ruined by the enemy's cold knife.

After this incident, the third prince refused to stay on the battlefield no matter what, and would be startled by the occasional sound of gongs and drums.

Nalan Qi's hopes were shattered. He was so disgusted with this timid nephew that he didn't want to even look at him again. However, he was gradually dazzled by the prince's charm. He put aside his prejudice and joined forces with the prince to pursue the victory.

Soon, the battle north of the city was won and the prince returned to the court.

"And do you know?" Xuanyuan Yuqing asked mysteriously, with a sly smile on his face.

Hu Luanfei's mouth curled up quietly, "I don't know anything."

"Remember Princess Nanqi?"

"Ah."

Xuanyuan Yuqing whispered, "My brother had a brief romance with Princess Nanqi in the cold palace..."

"Wait a minute!" Hu Luanfei remembered the scene in the cold palace that night clearly. Now that Xuanyuan Yuqing mentioned it, she was too shy to listen anymore.

Xuanyuan Yuqing also felt that it was inappropriate to continue talking, so he briefly described the truth of the matter in three words, "Nanqi State has been recruited, and Princess Nanqi is just a pawn to win over Beiqiu. This method was thought up by my mother's younger sister."

"Does the Queen know?"

"Of course I know, and they even teamed up to trick my brother. But my brother didn't suffer any loss, it's just that Princess Nanqi didn't have such a good life."

Hu Luanfei was puzzled by one thing. "I remember Xuanyuan Yuchuan said he liked Princess Nanqi and asked me to help him speak well of him to your father. Now that Princess Nanqi is dead, isn't he sad?"

"Maybe a little." Xuanyuan Yuqing lowered his eyes to hide the pain in his eyes, "After all, they are the same kind of people, and they are all used as pawns by the elders to step on and get to the top."

"Xuanyuan Yuchuan..."

"My brother has never liked Princess Nanqi. He asked to marry her in order to please our mother."

Hu Luanfei sighed: "Then he is really pitiful."

"Oh, let's not talk about this. When my brother returns to the court in a few days, will you go to greet him?" There was a hint of worry in his voice.

"Go ahead." Hu Luanfei was in high spirits when she was happy. She didn't mind having another brother. Maybe because of her pregnancy, she was particularly empathetic, or maybe it was because of her overflowing maternal love. Thinking about the snow, rain, wind and frost that Xuanyuan Yuchuan had experienced along the way, she felt particularly sorry for this cheap brother.

After a few days of leisurely life, Hu Luanfei sensed something strange.

There were a few employees at the dam who were becoming increasingly restless and gradually ignored her. When she went to inspect, they would just respond verbally but not move, leaving all the hard work to the older uncles and grandfathers.

Maybe they felt that a woman could not handle big things, and without a man around to take charge, they thought the dam would be abandoned. With this as an example, some young people below became restless, and taking advantage of the fact that she was pregnant and busy, they always caused trouble and gradually started quarreling with Le Yao and Wen Ruoxue.
