My husband is pure and has few desires, but I gave birth to three children in a row

As the army set off, the atmosphere in the capital was depressing and gloomy for almost a month before slowly recovering.

Those playboys have been feeling extremely uncomfortable for the past month or so.

Seeing that the atmosphere had eased, they called their friends and invited them to go outside the city to enjoy the autumn hunting.

Ever since Fu Zhiyi went to the northwest, the entire Princess Mansion has been closed to visitors and rarely goes out.

Doubao and Tangyuan seemed to have grown up and become much more sensible overnight.

He got up early every day to go to Lan's house to study, and after returning home in the afternoon, he exercised with the people left by Fu Shan.

This time, Fu Shan also went to the northwest with Fu Zhiyi.

Except for two who stayed to teach Doubao and Tangyuan, all the capable hands in the family were assigned to Fu Zhiyi by Lu Zhenzhen.

Fu Zhiyi wanted to keep a few more, but Lu Zhenzhen refused.

The security in the capital is pretty good. Plus, there are princes and nobles living near the Princess's Mansion, and the officers and soldiers of the patrol department patrol back and forth every day more carefully and attentively than anywhere else, so there's no need to worry.

Not to mention, the Fourth Princess's Mansion is right next door, so if anything happens there, it can be there with just a call.

However, if Fu Zhiyi goes to the northwest this time, with one more person, he may have a better chance of survival.

Fu Zhiyi accepted it without hesitation.

After Fu Zhiyi left, not only was Lan absent-minded every day, but she also had to take care of Chengzi and eat vegetarian food and chant Buddhist scriptures.

The third master was no longer confused or absurd. Apart from reporting for duty at the Maritime Customs every day, he would go home after his shift.

Even when those old playboy brothers invited him out for a drink, he refused.

If outsiders saw this, they would all say that the Third Master had turned over a new leaf and turned into a prodigal son.

Lu Zhenzhen was also feeling lazy and had no energy. She just stayed in the princess's residence and was too lazy to go out.

However, the Fourth Princess and Princess Qingning were afraid that she would get sick from being bored, so they dragged her out of the house and took her to stay at the farm for a few days to soak in the hot springs and enjoy the autumn scenery.

Occasionally, a small banquet is held, inviting the Princess of Jin, the Princess of Shu and others, so that everyone can relax for a day.

It was around the end of November that Lu Zhenzhen received the first letter from Fu Zhiyi.

The letter only said that he had just arrived in Ganning and reported that he was safe. He had a lot of complicated matters to deal with, so he would write back after he had sorted them out.

The whole family finally put their minds at ease.

In addition, it is almost the end of the twelfth lunar month, and it is time to prepare for the New Year.

Lu Zhenzhen was also afraid that Lan would worry too much and hurt herself, so she simply gave half of this year's New Year's affairs to Lan.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were busy. Although they were still worried about Fu Zhiyi, they were in much better spirits.

There was a grand banquet in the palace on New Year's Eve. Given Lu Zhenzhen's current status, she naturally had to go to the palace to attend the banquet.

The three children were still young, and Lu Zhenzhen was too lazy to bring them into the palace, so she simply left them at home.

With three children making noise, Lan and the third master had no time to think about their son who was far away.

The Fourth Princess had already said that she would go to the palace with Lu Zhenzhen and they had agreed on a time to come out.

The fourth princess' carriage stopped at the door, and the sky was dark with small snowflakes floating in the air.

Lu Zhenzhen was originally going to take her own carriage, but was directly pulled into her own carriage by the Fourth Princess.

Lu Zhenzhen wanted to shirk her responsibility and said, "That's not good. The Prince Consort——"

As soon as I got on the carriage, I saw that there was only the Fourth Princess and the palace maid serving her, and there was no sign of the prince consort at all.

The words came to my lips: "Then the Prince Consort - why isn't the Prince Consort with you?"

The Fourth Princess waved her hand and said, "That's not important. I said I would go to the palace with you. If he were in the carriage, how could we sisters have a private conversation? So I asked him to follow on horseback."

Lu Zhenzhen lifted the carriage curtain and looked behind. Sure enough, the prince consort was wrapped up like a bear, sitting upright on a white horse, his neck hunched in due to the cold.

For a moment, I didn't know whether I should sympathize with the prince consort or the princess consort.

He couldn't help but feel touched, hugged the fourth princess and kissed her: "My eldest daughter, how kind!"

The fourth princess raised her head proudly: "Of course! We are half-sisters, how can we be close? How can the prince consort compare with you?"

Lu Zhenzhen quickly covered the Fourth Princess's mouth: "Just let us know, don't tell anyone! It wouldn't be good if the Prince Consort heard it!"

It really affects the relationship between husband and wife.

The fourth princess blinked her eyes and felt happy when she saw Lu Zhenzhen worried about her.

Look, the eldest daughter of the emperor also has her own concerns. Why doesn’t she worry about others?

Alas, this is the hundred and first time I lament, why am I not a man?

If she were a man, what would Fu Zhiyi have to do with her?

The two of them leaned against each other and talked affectionately, with bursts of laughter coming from them.

The prince consort following behind the carriage had a look of despair on his face. He tried to say something, but when he opened his mouth, it was filled with snow particles.

He immediately shut his mouth silently.

After entering the palace, the two were assigned positions together.

There were princesses all around, and they hadn't seen each other for some time, so when they met, they were all chatting animatedly.

The structure of the palace has changed slightly now. The biggest change is that since the Prince of Jin replaced the emperor to supervise the army, the imperial concubine has regained her former honor and favor.

The power of the palace returned to the hands of the imperial concubine, and the emperor now visited the imperial concubine's palace every now and then, and rewards were sent to the imperial concubine's palace every few days.

The tributes sent from below are now selected by the imperial concubine first, except for those left for the emperor and the empress dowager.

At the New Year's Eve banquet in the palace, the imperial concubine was closest to the emperor. During the banquet, the emperor spoke to the imperial concubine from time to time with a gentle expression and intimate attitude. Naturally, the subordinates had their own thoughts in their eyes.

The banquet was the same as in previous years, lively but without much novelty.

But halfway through the banquet, there was a commotion outside the hall, and then a eunuch rushed in, tumbling and crawling, reporting loudly: "Your Majesty, great joy, great joy! War reports have come from the northwest, a great victory in the first battle!"

As soon as these words came out, the emperor, who had been frowning, immediately became happy and stood up at once: "Present the battle report."

The battle report was soon presented to the emperor.

The emperor took the battle report, glanced at it, and burst into laughter. "Good, good, good! This is indeed great news! Half a month ago, our army won the first battle against the Western Rong army. We repelled the first round of the Western Rong army's attack and temporarily captured 500 people!"

All the civil and military officials, concubines and others present immediately knelt down to congratulate the emperor.

The emperor was in a very good mood. After raising his glass and drinking a big tumble with everyone present, he could no longer sit still.

He instructed the imperial concubine to take charge of the situation and hurriedly left with several cabinet ministers.

As soon as the emperor and the ministers left the table, the imperial concubine signaled everyone to do as they pleased.

Suddenly everyone couldn't sit still anymore and started whispering to each other.

Princess Qingning patted her chest and said, "May God bless our Dashun! We have won the first battle, and if we continue to pursue the victory, I think the war will be over soon."

Lu Zhenzhen knew that things on the battlefield were changing rapidly, and nothing could go so smoothly.

However, at this time, such discouraging words should never be said, so he just smiled and agreed with a few words, but he felt vaguely uneasy in his heart.
