The regent is determined to get the daughter of a minor official.

Chu Musheng returned to the main tent and couldn't wait to open the letter sent by the secret guard.

This letter may be written in haste.

On this short page, I wrote some greetings and thoughts, and wrote a sentence at the end.

"I'm pregnant, are you happy, father?"

After reading it, Chu Musheng was stunned for a long time before he suddenly stood up, his face full of disbelief and surprise.

The letter paper in his hand was wrinkled a little.

He opened his eyes wide, read the few words over and over again, his lips trembling slightly as he muttered to himself.

"Is this prince going to be a father? My beloved concubine is pregnant with my child!"

His usually stern face was now like ice and snow melting, and he smiled brilliantly.

There was an excitement glimmer in his eyes, and in that light was the joy of becoming a father for the first time.

He also had deep concerns and worries about Xu Ke Ke who was far away in the capital.

Chu Musheng paced back and forth in the tent, unable to calm down for a long time.

happy!

How could I not be happy?

Now that you have a child, my beloved concubine will never leave my side!

Even if I am gone one day, our children will be with her.

Chu Musheng was overjoyed.

He stopped from time to time, stroked his chin, and imagined what his beloved concubine looked like when she was pregnant.

Sometimes he would throw his head back and laugh, his laughter full of excitement and anticipation.

The soldiers guarding outside the tent looked at each other.

I wonder what happened to the Regent?

After Chu Musheng adjusted his mood, he immediately called General Sheng Yi and several other deputy generals.

He had to re-formulate the battle plan, speed up the end of the war, and strive to return to the capital as soon as possible to be with his wife and children.

Several generals came hurriedly and were a little confused when they saw Chu Musheng's happy face.

Chu Musheng didn't say anything more and spoke bluntly.

"My beloved concubine is pregnant! I must end this war quickly and return to be with them and their child!"

Sheng Yi and others were shocked at first, and then they all clasped their fists in congratulations.

Chu Musheng rested his hands on the table, his eyes wise and eager.

"Everyone, we need to change our previous plan. We must fight quickly and decisively!"

Several generals responded in unison:

"We will do our utmost to help His Majesty return victoriously as soon as possible!"

In the following days, Chu Musheng led the troops by example and commanded the battles more bravely and decisively.

The soldiers were inspired by him and their morale was greatly boosted.

Finally, under the leadership of Chu Musheng, the army was unstoppable and won victory after victory.

......

Shengjing City is prosperous.

After investigation by the Ministry of Justice, it was found that the mad cow incident was not intentional.

The government officials found the merchant who sold the cattle and confirmed that the farmer had indeed bought the cattle from him that day.

As for why the cow suddenly went crazy?

You have to ask the cow.

The cow had been hacked to pieces by the guards of Prince Sheng's mansion.

The man was released, but his money and cattle were gone.

He was also tortured in the Ministry of Justice and imprisoned for several days.

The man is complacent and thinks he is unlucky.

After Xu Ke learned about this, he asked his servants to buy a cow and send it to the farmer, and gave him ten taels of silver as compensation.

Speaking of which, Xu Keke was also a victim. Not only was she scared to vomit by the mad cow, she also helped the man pay a lot of silver money in compensation.

However, Xu Ke is not short of money now.

Just treat it as a good deed to accumulate blessings for the prince far away at the border and the baby in her belly.

She still remembered what Master Yunxiao said:

Good thoughts will eventually bring good results.

Time flies, and it’s the end of the year in a blink of an eye.

Xu Keke endured more than two months of morning sickness, and the fetus in her belly is now three months old.

The weather was getting colder, and although she was wearing gorgeous palace attire, nothing could be seen from her appearance.

Only when she takes off her clothes to bathe can you see the slightly bulging belly.

It is a good time to take a hot spring bath in this season, but it is not suitable since Xu Ke is pregnant.

She occasionally goes to the hot spring pool to sit and soak her feet.

That's it.

At times like this, Xu Ke would miss Chu Musheng very much.

She imagined the prince taking a bath in the hot spring while she soaked her feet beside him.

The two have nothing to do with each other, yet they echo each other from a distance.

Occasionally, military reports from the northern border were sent back to the capital, and they were always reports of victory, which made the ministers in the court feel much more at ease.

Yesterday, Chief Steward Yao asked An Jiu to deliver a letter from home to the prince.

Thinking of this, Xu Ke felt a little embarrassed.

In the past few months, the two secret guards in the mansion have become messengers. I heard from Anxiang that the two secret guards have lost a lot of weight.

Thank you so much for their hard work.

Well, we can’t let their hard work be in vain!

Just thinking about it!

Dingdang came over with a cotton handkerchief.

"Miss, let me wipe your feet and put on your shoes! The Second Madam and Aunt Ding are here."

"it is good."

Xu Ke lifted up her calves and asked Ding Dang to help dry them.

Since the second wife learned that she was pregnant, she came to visit her every day.

Sometimes I would stay and have lunch with her, and sometimes I would just come and sit for a while and then leave.

In short, show your concern on your face and in your actions.

Once, the Second Lady came to see Xu Keke and met the Empress Dowager who came out of the palace to visit Prince Sheng's Mansion.

The two relatives who had never met before exchanged greetings according to their status, and then sat down to chat for a while about common topics that concerned them.

That is the fetus in Xu Ke's belly.

When it comes to this, the Empress Dowager and the Second Lady have endless things to say.

After all, they are both mothers of three children and both have a say.

For example, sour men and spicy women!

For example, fetal movement will only occur after five months!

For example, a pointy belly means a boy, and a round belly means a girl!

For example, pregnant women should eat more fruits to have better skin for their children!

For example, if a pregnant woman has frequent dreams, it may indicate the gender of the fetus!

For example, if a pregnant woman has a strong pulse, it means a boy, and if she has a weak pulse, it means a girl!

Xu Keke, Dingdang and Anxiang who were standing by opened their mouths wide.

As expected, practice makes perfect.

These experiences are the essence they have summarized based on their real abilities.

Xu Keke thought of the dream she had just had when Chu Musheng left.

I dreamed of a fat baby sitting in a basin of water, holding a red carp.

......

After putting on his shoes, Xu Ke took Ding Dang out of the hot spring pavilion and returned to the Jinyun Hall in the backyard.

The Second Madam and Nanny Ding were sitting in the main hall drinking tea, and Anxiang was talking to them in a vivid manner.

"What are you talking about? Let me listen too."

Xu Keke interrupted with a smile and sat down next to the second wife.

The Second Madam and Nanny Ding came more often now, and were not as particular as they were at the beginning.

When there are no outsiders around, they are all very casual and comfortable.

The Second Madam held Xu Ke's hand, but her gaze remained on An Xiang, her eyes full of gossip.

Anxiang became even more excited when she saw Xu Ke coming.

"Miss, I have come back from gathering information today and am telling Madam and Madam about it."

Xu Keke took the flower tea handed to her by Nanny Ding, took a sip, and looked at her with a smile.

"Well, Anxiang, go on, what news have you found out?"

"Hehehe, Shen Qingfeng and Xu Yuanyuan had another big fight.

This time it was not me who secretly instigated it. It was Shen Qingfeng who brought back a child from somewhere and wanted to raise him in the mansion.

When Xu Yuanyuan saw this, she was shocked. The legitimate son in her belly had not been born yet, but she had a illegitimate son.

The two of them were arguing fiercely, and if Xu Yuanyuan hadn't been pregnant, they might have come to blows."
