Female Master: Why doesn’t my wife love me yet?

Ji Mingzhao cautiously probed, "But I'm afraid that this will disturb my wife."

Gu Qingyuan reached out and rubbed his head naturally, feigning anger and saying, "Why would it bother me? I'm very happy that you came to see me, just like you would be happy to see me, right?"

Of course, Ji Mingzhao looks forward to seeing his wife every day. After seeing her, he will feel that the day is worthwhile.

But he also knew that his wife had her own things to do and could not always be with him.

So, it would be nice to see her more often.

He nodded and said, "Okay, if I miss my wife, I will definitely go find her."

Gu Qingyuan then smiled with satisfaction, waved at him, and told him to go back and rest.

Ji Mingzhao watched her go reluctantly until her figure completely disappeared from his sight, then he walked into the house.

A few days later, Ji Mingzhao saw the tailor come to Zhuyuan to take his measurements and make clothes for him.

The tailor was a very kind man. Looking at his belly, he could tell at a glance that the baby was almost two months old.

Ji Mingzhao held his waist, his eyes filled with tenderness. After measuring him, the tailor said, "In a month at most, you can finish making the ten sets of clothes that Young Master Gu has ordered for you."

The tailor worked in the largest garment shop in Beijing. When he met Gu Qingyuan that day, Gu Qingyuan specifically asked him to come to Gu's house to make clothes for Ji Mingzhao, and personally selected several pieces of light and breathable fabrics for him.

When Ji Mingzhao heard the tailor say ten sets, he quickly said, "One set will be enough. I don't need that many. I can't wear them all."

But the tailor shook his head and said, "Master Gu has already made the order. I came here today just to take your measurements. Now it's time for me to leave."

After the tailor finished speaking, he took the ruler and left.

After he left, Ji Mingzhao felt a little restless. He didn't need so many clothes at all. For him, two or three sets of clothes to change were enough.

When he was at the Ji family, let alone new clothes, his old clothes were all sewn over and over again and were full of patches. Later, he brought those clothes with him, but he never wore them after he arrived at the Gu family.

Now that he knew Gu Qingyuan was going to make so many clothes for him, he wanted to find her and tell her that she didn't need to spend so much money on making clothes for him.

But now, his wife is in the academy, so he can only wait in the yard for her to come back.

In the study.

General Gu crumpled up the letter sent by Dongzhi, with fatigue on his face.

She had thought that the small countries on the border would be quiet during this period, but she never expected that those small countries would actually launch a surprise attack on the Gu family's troops stationed on the border.

Winter Solstice was also injured because of this.

Dongzhi mentioned in the letter that his injury was not serious, but if it was not serious, why would he let someone else write the letter for him?

She could still make out the handwriting.

General Gu came out of the study. Xia Zhi, who was guarding outside, saw her and stood up and asked, "General, what happened?"

"Dongzhi was injured, and the situation on the border has not been peaceful during this period." General Gu summarized it in simple words.

However, although she downplayed it, Xia Zhi still heard the seriousness of the problem.

Who is Dongzhi? Even she was injured. It seems the situation is really serious.

Thinking of this, Xia Zhi hurriedly asked, "General, are you going out this time?"

General Gu nodded and said, "I have to go over and take a look. I'll leave the household affairs to Qingyuan for the time being. Please help me keep an eye on her."

Xia Zhi said, "I want to go with the general."

"No, I'm going to the palace first. If anyone comes looking for me, just tell them that I've been to the palace."

"Okay then." Xia Zhi was a little discouraged. She also wanted to go out with General Gu and protect him.

But she stayed behind to guard the young master.

After General Gu finished his instructions, he rode his horse straight to the palace.

At the same time that General Gu received the news from the border, the palace also received the news.

Princess Wen Danyue and the Empress were sitting in the study. The Empress slammed the table in anger, "Those small countries are so bold. They have only been quiet for a few years and now they are provoking our Great Ning Kingdom."

"Mother Queen, in my opinion, they have been living comfortably for too long. Why not take this opportunity to teach them a lesson?"

The Queen nodded. "I share this sentiment. General Gu suppressed them with an iron fist back then. Now, we need General Gu to take action again."

Not long after, someone came to report from outside.

"Your Majesty, General Gu requests an audience!"

The empress and the princess looked at each other. They didn't expect General Gu to come so soon, so they quickly asked someone to bring her in.

"Gu Aiqing, you've come just in time. I have something to ask you."

General Gu bowed before speaking, "I came to Your Majesty because of the matter concerning that small country. I would like to take this opportunity to have my cavalry destroy their country and put an end to future trouble."

Those people are really shameless. They have only been peaceful for a few years and trained some soldiers, and they think they can unite to fight against the Daning Kingdom.

"It's time to teach them a lesson."

The Queen tapped her fingers on the table and looked at the princess beside her. "Danyue, what do you think?"

"Mother Queen, I plan to go to the battle with General Gu this time." The princess said seriously.

"Okay, you will follow General Gu this time. But before that, be very careful. Those small countries are treacherous and cunning. I'm afraid they will set up ambushes along the way. I will send a group of troops to explore the way first."

"Your Majesty is very thoughtful."

……

When Gu Qingyuan returned home, she had not been in the yard for long when she saw Xia Zhi coming over from her mother's side.

She had not received any news from the academy and had no idea what had happened. When she saw Xia Zhi coming, she subconsciously felt that something was wrong.

"Xiazhi, tell me if something happened?"

Before Xia Zhi could speak, Gu Qingyuan stared into her eyes and asked.

Xia Zhi replied, "General Gu will be leaving for Xiancheng in three days at most, and he asked me to come and look after the young master."

Xiancheng, that is the outermost city of Daning Kingdom. Gu Qingyuan asked her again: "Doesn't my mother plan to take me there?"

"What is the young master going to do?" Xia Zhi asked in confusion.

Although the young master had practiced martial arts with her for a period of time, it was a battlefield after all, where people were killed without blinking an eye. General Gu was definitely not confident in taking Gu Qingyuan with him.

General Gu fought for the Great Ning Kingdom for so many years in his youth, and even used himself as bait to steal the defense map to win the battle. If the young master is taken there, and something happens to him, then the Gu family might...

"But I can't just watch my mother go to Xiancheng! No, I have to go find her."

Xia Zhi stopped in front of Gu Qingyuan and said, "This is General Gu's order. He asked me to watch over the young master. Young master, please don't embarrass me."

Gu Qingyuan gnashed her teeth and said, "Xia Zhi, you won't let me go, right?"

Before Xia Zhi could react, she pushed Xia Zhi away and walked out.
