A life of ups and downs is pure joy

The night in late autumn was very quiet, with only the rustling sound of fallen leaves in the autumn wind and the melodious sound of the flute filling Su Heju.

Lin Qinghuan leaned on Xiao Yi's legs, looking at her husband who was playing the flute for her. Now when she looked at Xiao Yi, her heart was also sweet.

When the song ended, Lin Qinghuan hugged Xiao Yi tightly and said, "Husband, I love listening to you play the flute. It's the most beautiful sound in the world."

"Huan'er, do you want to learn?" Xiao Yi kissed Lin Qinghuan lightly and then asked gently.

Lin Qinghuan thought about it, nodded, and then shook his head.

"Why are you still so conflicted?"

"Huan'er wants to learn because it sounds good, but she doesn't want to because she has poor talent." Lin Qinghuan said helplessly.

"I'm here. I'll spend my whole life teaching you, little fool." Xiao Yi took Lin Qinghuan's little hand and began to teach her the basic fingering techniques.

Chuxia was also in the small room hugging Mother Huang and acting coquettishly, listening to the flute music in the inner courtyard and watching her mother mending clothes.

Lin Qingwan stood in the yard and looked in the direction of Su Heju. She was very sensitive to music. Such a beautiful flute sound could not be played by her fifth sister. It must be him. Lin Qingwan remembered the scene when she first met Xiao Yi. It was not long after her mother died. She was sitting in a carriage and saw a notice posted in the Music Academy. Out of curiosity, she asked the maid to go up and ask. It was a talent competition. This Music Academy was owned by the government, so Lin Qingwan became interested. She just thought of it as a way to kill time and heal her wounds. She played a song through the gauze curtain. Lin Qingwan easily got rid of the doubts and soon entered the top three. It was at the final that the wind blew up the gauze curtain, and Lin Qingwan saw the person who made her still miss him until now.

"Girl, why are you still standing in the yard so late?" Bai Lu came over with a cloak.

"He's gone?" Lin Qingwan asked expressionlessly.

"Well, girl, why don't you ask your son-in-law to stay?" Bai Lu asked.

"Hmph, he can go wherever he wants. I don't care about him." Lin Qingwan said with disgust, then took the cloak from Bai Lu's hand and said, "Go get my zither."

"Yes." Bai Lu looked at the bright moon hanging high in the sky, then walked into the house to get the zither.

Xiao Yi played another tune for Lin Qinghuan. The girl closed her eyes and smiled slightly, "It's really beautiful."

"Silly girl..." Before Xiao Yi finished speaking, he heard the sound of a piano.

"Hey, it sounds like the sound of Fourth Sister's piano. Husband, do you want to play a tune with Fourth Sister? It will surely sound amazing." Lin Qinghuan said with secret joy.

"Huan'er, aren't you angry?" Xiao Yi knew that Lin Qinghuan was a jealous person, so he asked curiously.

"That's my fourth sister. Why would I be angry with her? If it were any other woman, I... I would naturally not want to." Lin Qinghuan raised her head and said, "Husband, blow quickly."

Xiao Yi smiled and nodded, then raised the white jade flute in his hand and echoed with the lonely piano music.

When Lin Qingwan heard Xiao Yi's response from the flute, she was overjoyed. Could it be that Lord Xiao also remembered her in his heart? He actually responded to her piano playing. The woman smiled and then plucked the strings to play a cheerful tune.

"Oh, it's so noisy. It's fine if there's only one person playing the piano, but now there's another one playing the flute." Lin Qingyi got up from the bed unhappily and said sadly.

Lin Qingyao gently lowered the small wooden window support, smiled, and thought of her childhood. Xiao Yi was the same age as Lin Qingyao, and both came from powerful families, so they often met at various banquets. At that time, he had thousands of fans, but Lin Qingyao didn't think so. She just thought it was amazing that he actually married her sister.

"Yao'er, come and have a rest quickly. I'll do this kind of work." Zheng Linfeng stepped forward to support the pregnant Lin Qingyao.

"How can you be so delicate?" Lin Qingyao said coquettishly, with tenderness in her eyes.

"My princess is naturally more delicate. Come here and soak your feet. I've brought you a large basin of water with your favorite flower petals." Zheng Linfeng helped Lin Qingyao sit gently on the couch and gently took off her shoes and socks for her.

"What do you think of the sound of the zither and flute?" Lin Qingyao asked Zheng Linfeng who was squatting on the ground washing her feet.

"It sounds nice. The piano sounds like a complaint, and the flute sounds like a song. They blend perfectly. Who is playing this music?" Zheng Linfeng asked.

"The sound of the piano comes from the fourth sister's yard, and the flute should be from the fifth brother-in-law." Lin Qingyao said, and Zheng Linfeng looked at her in surprise.

"That's interesting. Qinghuan can't play the piano?" Zheng Linfeng asked.

"Huan'er? She had trouble even walking when she was a child, so how could she have the energy to learn the piano? My little sister has suffered a lot." Lin Qingyao said with some sadness.

"Well, I know that, but you seem to be feeling better now. Come, lift your feet gently and let me wipe them for you." Zheng Linfeng carefully wiped the water off Lin Qingyao's jade feet with a foot cloth, and then gave her a light kiss, which made Lin Qingyao giggle.

"You and father Ancai will be leaving the day after tomorrow. I'm so reluctant to leave you." After Zheng Linfeng asked the servants to pack up the things and sat next to Lin Qingyao, the woman leaned on her husband's arms and said.

"I feel relieved to let you stay with your grandmother and mother. Otherwise, I would have to worry about you three, mother and son, during the war." Zheng Linfeng said, touching Lin Qingyao's pregnant belly with his hand.

"Well, husband, safety is the most important." Lin Qingyao murmured. In the past, the person she least wanted to marry was a great general like her father. Now that her husband is the King of Yinan, he often has to go to the front line. Fortunately, Yinan is the place guarded by her father and uncle, and they are all family, which makes her feel at ease.

The young couple in Su Hejuli played the flute for a while and felt a little sleepy, so they got up and went back to their room together.

"My dear, you and my fourth sister composed the music together in perfect harmony." Lin Qinghuan sighed as she walked.

"Silly girl." Xiao Yi said affectionately while hugging his little wife.

"Husband, let Huan'er take care of you before you wash up and go to bed." Lin Qinghuan said coquettishly and cutely.

"Huan'er is so obedient and sensible now. You don't need me to serve you anymore?" Xiao Yi said flattered.

"I have always been sensible and obedient. Didn't you hear grandma and dad praising me today?" Lin Qinghuan untied Xiao Yi's belt and took off his coat for him. Chuxia and Lixue also came in with a basin for washing and a face towel.

After Chuxia and Lixue closed the doors and windows for their two masters, they also went to rest.

"Huan'er, your clothes are really in the way." Xiao Yi said while hugging Lin Qinghuan.

"Isn't this dress pretty?" Lin Qinghuan asked, looking down at her newly made silk pajamas. Then she realized, "Husband... you are so mean."

Xiao Yi turned over and pressed the person in his arms and kissed her wantonly, while his hands also caressed the beauty's delicate and silky skin with interest.

"Huan'er, you can only be my, Xiao Yi's, woman in this life." The man filled the ravine of the woman's desire, and possessed her madly with gentleness and domineering.

Lin Qinghuan hummed softly and sweetly, then hugged Xiao Yi's neck tightly, panting and humming softly, looking at him with a dazed look in her eyes, a happy and satisfied smile on her lips.

Xiao Yi wiped the sweat from Lin Qinghuan's forehead and asked, "Are you tired?"

"It's my husband who is tired, not Huan'er." Lin Qinghuan said shyly, her face still flushed.

"Huan'er, do you blame me for bullying you like this every day?" Xiao Yi couldn't help but want to possess Lin Qinghuan when he looked at her.

"Huan'er...Huan'er likes her husband, so naturally she likes being with...with you..." Lin Qinghuan was too shy to speak, and could only respond to Xiao Yi with her eyes.

"Really?" Xiao Yi happily kissed the beauty in his arms again, and hugged her soft waist tightly with both hands.

"Husband, I'm so happy today. My elder sister is back." Lin Qinghuan was so excited that she couldn't sleep.

"Your elder sister was very powerful when she was young. No one in Jinhan City dared to provoke her." Xiao Yi said.

"Really? Tell me how great it is." Lin Qinghuan asked while lying on Xiao Yi's arm and looking at his handsome face. It turns out that good-looking people are handsome when their faces are close up.

The couple whispered for a long time about Lin Qingyao's childhood. Only then did Lin Qinghuan realize that Lin Qingyao was not only the eldest sister of the Lin family, but also the leader among the women of the official families in Kyoto.

"Were you afraid of my big sister when you were a child?" Lin Qinghuan asked Xiao Yi with a smile.

"I rarely go to the Empress Dowager's place. I have always studied with the Crown Prince." Xiao Yi said.

"Husband, you are truly a model of diligent study. No wonder Nan'er said that when she was little, she played with Brother Yu... her second brother, and the Sixth Prince, but you never joined in." Lin Qinghuan looked at Xiao Yi with a guilty conscience after she finished speaking.

"Huan'er, why don't you call me good brother?" Xiao Yi pinched Lin Qinghuan's face and said.

"Husband, do you want to hear me call you brother?"

"Well, I'm jealous."

"Hehe...good brother, why are you so cute? You even say it out loud when you're jealous." Lin Qinghuan couldn't help laughing when she saw Xiao Yi's jealous look.

"Huan'er, from now on you can only call me good brother, okay?"

"Yeah." Lin Qinghuan responded with squinting eyes and making a face.

"Huan'er, you can't have anyone else in your heart. I really love you." Xiao Yi suddenly hugged Lin Qinghuan tightly and murmured.

"Husband, from now on, Huan'er only has good brother in her heart." Lin Qinghuan stretched out her slender arms, wrapped them around Xiao Yi's neck and kissed him actively. The man's desire, which had just subsided, was ignited again by the woman's increasingly skilled kissing skills.

The woman's moans came again, echoing in the attic of Su Heju. It was gentle and bewitching, like musk that made people unable to extricate themselves from it.

The first person out of the gate of Suheju in the morning was Xiao Yi, who was going to attend the morning court. Dayuan followed his master yawning. Xiao Yi came to the Lin Mansion more and more frequently, and Mother Huang was getting more and more comfortable with ordering Dayuan to slaughter chickens and sheep. Dayuan also kept emphasizing that he had followed the eldest master for more than ten years and had never thought of becoming a kitchen helper.

"Huan'er, you're still eating. Hurry up." Lin Qingyi hurriedly pushed open the door of Suheju and said loudly.

"What's wrong? What's going on?" Mother Huang was standing in the yard wearing an apron, wiping her hands and looking at Lin Qingyi and asked. Chuxia also came over with the cup of water that Lin Qinghuan needed to rinse his mouth.

"Let's go quickly, sister-in-law is about to give birth." Lin Qingyi walked into the house and pulled up Lin Qinghuan, who was still sitting there in a hysterical state. Hong Qi also walked out of the pavilion.

"Ah? She's about to give birth. Oh my God, does the eldest sister know? What about the second and third sisters?" Lin Qinghuan wiped his mouth randomly a few times, took the outer robe handed to him by Li Xue, and was pulled out of Suheju by Lin Qingyi. Hongqi and Chuxia also ran out.

"Second sister is already in there. Eldest sister went there early in the morning. Third sister, where is third sister? I forgot to call her." Lin Qingyi and Lin Qinghuan said as they walked towards the princess's mansion.

"Chuxia, go back and call your third sister, go quickly." Lin Qinghuan turned around and said to Chuxia, and the little girl hurried back and got on the carriage.

As soon as the two arrived at Ning Xiaoqi and Lin Yuzhi's yard, they heard the Seventh Princess' heart-wrenching cries of pain, mixed with the voices of Lin Mo and the midwife.

"Big brother, what's wrong?" Lin Qinghuan saw Lin Yuzhi walking back and forth in the hall looking very uneasy, and hurriedly stepped forward to ask.

"She started complaining about the pain last night, but the baby hasn't been born yet." Lin Yuzhi's forehead was sweating with anxiety.

"Hey, has it been hurting for so long?" Lin Qingyi looked inside nervously, wanting to go in but not daring to.

"Shall I ask someone to call Sister Xi over? She's quite good at medicine." Lin Qinghuan instructed Hong Qi, and then, like Lin Yuzhi, he looked inside and then at the door.

In the Xiao Mansion, Liu Xi and Liu Rong were chatting leisurely while grinding medicine.

"Xier, what my elder sister means is that you should stay in Jinhan when you come back this time. You are not young anymore. Yesterday, your aunt mentioned that she wanted to find a perfect husband for you." Liu Rong said.

"What? I don't want it. I still have to serve you and my aunt!" Liu Xi said anxiously.

"Look how scared I am of you. It's not like you'll be married tomorrow." Liu Rong said helplessly, looking at the only daughter of her second sister.

"Auntie, don't worry, I still want to go out for a walk, explore, and pay my respects to my master."

There was a knock on the door of the small courtyard. The little girl went to open the door and saw Butler Xu walk in and bow.

"Miss Xi, there is a masked young man outside looking for you, saying that the young lady is looking for you." Butler Xu said.

"Okay, I'll go right away." Liu Xi quickly put down the medicine hammer in his hand, stood up and walked out, and called the maid into the house to get the medicine box.

"Young Madam? What happened?" Liu Rong shouted anxiously from behind.

"Aunt, I'll go take a look and then send someone back to pass on the message." Liu Xi's voice was getting farther and farther away.

Hong Qi, standing at the gate of the Xiao Mansion, glanced at Liu Xi and the little maid carrying the medicine box behind her.

"Give me the medicine box, and you ride with me to the princess's mansion." After Hong Qi said that, he got on the horse, took the medicine box from the maid, and then reached out to pull Liuxi to ride together.

"Ah? I...I ride with you?" Liu Xi's face turned red as she looked at the masked boy in front of her.

"Come up quickly, girl, you are anxious, the princess is going to give birth." Hong Qi stretched out his arms and said to Liu Xi.

"The princess is giving birth?" Liu Xi quickly stretched out her arm and Hong Qi pulled her onto the horse.

"Sit tight." After Hong Qi finished speaking, the horse sped away, leaving the maid blankly looking at the two people's backs in the wind, and then hurried back to reply to Liu Rong.

Lin Qinghuan saw Liuxi with a rosy face and Hongqi who was rushing over with a medicine box.

"Sister Xi, please go in and help, sister-in-law..."

"Mother... I want my mother, I want to die." Before Lin Qinghuan finished speaking, Ning Xiaoqi's crying voice was heard from inside.
