Seeing Princess Du looking at her two nephews with tears in her eyes, Jin Chu hurriedly stepped forward and greeted them with a smile, "I guess these two must be Cousin Ne and Cousin Min from the Du family, right?"

When she spoke, Princess Du finally reacted. She wiped her tears and pointed at Jinchu to introduce her to her two nephews: "Ne'er, Min'er, this is your cousin's new wife who married last year."

The two young men hurriedly saluted again, calling out in unison, "Greetings, Crown Prince's Consort, Cousin-law."

Jin Chu smiled and returned the greeting: "Thank you for your courtesy, my two cousins."

Then he turned to Princess Du and reminded her, "Mother, my two cousins ​​have come from afar today and are covered in dust. I'm sure they must be tired. Why don't we go back to the mansion and talk slowly there?"

"Ajin is right, Ner, Miner, let's go into the mansion first." As she spoke, Princess Du took a young man's hand in each and walked towards Hanzhang Courtyard.

Prince Dingbei also rushed over at this time. Seeing the two young men beside Princess Du, he understood what was going on and smiled at his two nephews, "Are these two Yu Ne and Yu Min?"

Seeing this, the two young men hurriedly bowed and greeted King Dingbei. King Dingbei smiled and said, "I have some things to do in the front yard. You two should go talk to your aunt first. Your uncle will host a welcome party for you both tonight."

The two young masters of the Du family readily agreed. King Dingbei waved his hand and headed towards the front yard.

Princess Du and Jin Chu led their people into Hanzhang Courtyard. Jin Chu also took the opportunity to find an excuse to leave Hanzhang Courtyard, leaving the space to Princess Du's aunt and nephew, whom she had not seen for many years.

Jin Chu was very happy to think that Su Cheng'an was not poisoned as he had expected.

Back at Shaoguangyuan, it was almost lunchtime. Yu Xing brought the food over and winked at Jin Chu as if presenting a treasure, saying, "Miss, today we have your favorite steamed white fish."

"That's great! I haven't eaten fish in the past few days, and I miss it so much."

As she spoke, she picked up a piece of fish with chopsticks and started to eat it. As soon as it reached her mouth, a strong feeling of nausea instantly surged up from the bottom of her stomach. The fish meat that she loved so much in the past now gave off a fishy smell, which made Jin Chu dodge hurriedly as if she had encountered a flood or a beast.

With a "vomit" sound, she turned sideways and avoided the plate of steamed fish.

"Girl, what's wrong with you?" Yucheng came over quickly and patted Jinchu's back, her face full of concern.

"Take that dish of fish away!" Jin Chu calmed the nausea in his stomach while pointing to the dish of steamed white fish on the table from a distance.

Yu Xing picked up the plate of fish and sniffed it. It still tasted as delicious as usual.

She couldn't help but frown slightly, and said in surprise, "Today's fish was freshly killed in the kitchen, and the taste is about the same as usual. Usually, the young lady likes to eat this fish. Why is there such a big reaction today?"

After Jin Chu got over the nausea, he also started to think.

Thinking of the volatile situation during this period, Su Cheng'an first went to the northwest and then went south to the capital, always being caught in the storm.

Especially in the past half month or so, because Su Cheng'an obtained the throne due to divine blessing and personally went to the capital, the situation between the northern border and the capital has reached a point where war may break out at any time.

Because of worrying about Su Cheng'an, Jin Chu was feeling better during the day, but he couldn't rest well at night because he was worried too much, and he sometimes had nightmares.

In just half a month, she lost a lot of weight.

Maybe it's because I've been too worried recently and haven't had a good sleep and rest schedule, which has caused physical deficiency.

Thinking of this, she said to Yu Xing, "Maybe I haven't had enough rest these days and have some stomach problems. Take this fish and share it! I'm going to have something light today."

"How about asking the kitchen to prepare a bowl of stomach-nourishing porridge for the girl?" Yu Xing picked up the plate of steamed white fish and suggested with concern.

"No, these dishes are still edible. I'll just have these for lunch."

Seeing Jinchu's insistence, Yuxing said no more. Only Yucheng looked at the girl deeply and left with a thoughtful look on his face.

Jin Chu held the bowl and picked up a piece of stir-fried vegetables with chopsticks. He felt that the taste was quite good, so he started eating.

Because she didn't sleep well at night, Jin Chu lay on the chaise longue and took a nap after lunch.

The weather in August is clear and cool. Yesterday's Mid-Autumn Festival was celebrated normally in the Dingbei Palace because of the tense situation and Su Cheng'an's absence.

Today is August 16th, and in two days it will be her 18th birthday. I wonder if Su Chengan can get home before her birthday?

If war breaks out with the capital, the Salt Administration's business will inevitably be affected.

By then, we may need to find another good strategy to transport the white salt to areas outside the northern border. Only in this way can we avoid the criticism and constraints of the capital and continue the sale of white salt.

In any case, once the war breaks out, money will be consumed like water.

Only by collecting financial resources and accumulating more money can we ensure that the soldiers have all the necessary logistical supplies, maintain the strong combat effectiveness and high morale of the troops, and enable them to gallop on the battlefield and defeat the enemy.

And Huanyan was about to give birth. If unrest broke out in the northern border, the Dingbei Palace would become the target of public criticism and attract much attention. So she should have Huanyan move out of the palace as soon as possible and go to a safe place to give birth!

It felt like there were still many things to think about, but his brain started to become lazy and his eyelids felt heavy. Jin Chu finally couldn't resist the strong sleepiness and closed his eyes.

I fell asleep again.

In her dream, she was in a sea of ​​flowers. Two little children were looking at her from behind the trees. Out of curiosity, Jin Chu asked, "What are you looking at?"

The children answered in unison: "We are looking at you. Are you our mother?"

Jin Chu couldn't help but laugh: "Although you two are very cute, I am not your mother."

The two children suddenly jumped out. One was a cute little girl, and the other was a chubby little boy.

The two little ones pointed at Jinchu and said, "We want you to be our mother, we want you to be our mother!" As they spoke, they actually started to cry sadly.

Jin Chuxin felt bad, he made the child cry!

But these days, can my mother be so shameless as to admit it?

The two children's clear voices were still ringing. Jin Chu didn't want to argue with them anymore, so he smiled and made concessions.

She coaxed the golden boy and jade girl: "Okay, okay, don't cry, I will be your mother today, okay?"

The two children burst into laughter and rushed out from behind the blossoming tree, running towards her and shouting, "Let's go find Mommy!"

Jin Chu subconsciously stretched out his arms to welcome the two children who were rushing towards him like young swallows. Before he could feel the impact of the children, he was awakened by a huge push.

Yu Xing's face was filled with anxiety. She was pushing her arm hard, repeatedly calling out, "Miss, wake up! It's getting late. You should go to Hanzhang Courtyard!"

When I looked down, my arms were empty. Where were the golden boy and jade girl rushing towards me?

Jin Chu couldn't help but laugh again. It turned out that he had just had another dream!
