She married a dying prince and she won three babies.

If it was really what she thought, should she lend a hand to save Yu Chaoyang?

Oh, I'm a bit confused.

Yu Chaoyang can't be that bad, right? He should have expected that.

Never mind, let’s live our own lives. If Yu Chaoyang can’t defeat Nanhua, that’s her fate.

The wedding date is set for three months later, which is when the new bride will come to celebrate the New Year.

And during this half month, another more important event for the literati was also in full swing in the capital, that is, the once-in-three-years Autumn Examination.

Yu Yuanzheng took some time to go back to her mother's home to cheer her father up.

But her father didn't seem nervous at all, and looked very confident.

"Okay, don't worry. Dad knows what's going on. Old Master Jin also said that Dad has made great progress and it won't be a problem for him to pass the imperial examination. Take good care of your baby and don't worry about your parents' home." Yu Yunzhi also advised his daughter in return.

"Then I, your daughter, would like to wish you in advance that your writing will be as if divinely inspired."

The second day of September is the birthday of the wife of Duke Weiguo.

The princess is going to take her family back to her parents' home.

This family of course refers to the prince and Shangguan Ziqi and his wife. No one else is invited because it is not a birthday party. The Qin family did not hold a big celebration and only invited a few relatives to join in the fun.

Early in the morning, the princess sent Nanny Zhao to urge the couple to get up early.

Yu Yuanzheng could understand the princess's desire to return to her parents' home.

Ever since her son fell into a coma, she has not returned to her parents' home. She would not go out unless it was absolutely necessary.

I started going out more after I got married.

Someone took care of her son for her.

When a family of four went out, only the prince rode a horse, while the other three rode in a carriage. It felt like the old man had become a flower protector.

Of course, the prince is not too old, he is only forty-one years old.

When they arrived at the Duke of Wei's mansion, his two sons were already waiting at the door to greet them.

"Brother-in-law." Qin Song, the eldest son of Duke Wei, stepped forward and bowed.

"Brother-in-law." Qin Bai, the second son of Duke Wei, also stepped forward and bowed.

Both of them were not good at studying, but they became small leaders in the imperial guards through their connections with the Duke of Wei and the prince.

Qin Song was thirty-four years old and a captain, while Qin Bai was only thirty years old and worked in logistics management in the imperial guards.

At this time, the princess also came out of the carriage with Yu Yuanzheng.

"Sister, I see that you look much better today." Qin Song smiled even more gently when he saw the princess's face which was just smiling faintly.

Although they were from a duke's mansion, their father was not an official in the court, and the family only had one good-looking title.

This title was also earned by our ancestors for their great contributions in resisting the Canglan Kingdom many years ago.

However, in peacetime, military positions were of little use, and they had no chance to achieve success, so they could only get a small position with the help of their brother-in-law.

However, with the title of Duke of Weiguo, the Qin family's status in the capital is second only to that of a prince.

"Big brother, second brother." The princess was very happy to see her relatives.

When the two younger brothers saw that she was no longer as sad as before, they knew that their eldest sister had come out of her depression because of her eldest nephew's awakening.

"Uncle, second uncle." At this time, Shangguan Ziqi also got off a carriage at the back with the help of Qingfeng and Mingyue.

"Uncle, uncle." Yu Yuanzheng followed suit.

"Good, good, good."

The group entered the main courtyard.

The two old men were already sitting in the main seat waiting for them.

"Daughter (son-in-law) pays homage to father and mother." The prince and princess bowed together.

Then there are Shangguan Ziqi and his wife.

"Ziqi is truly awake. Now your mother is finally relieved. Ziqi, come here, grandma hasn't officially met you yet."

Lady Chen, wife of Duke Weiguo, waved to Yu Yuanzheng.

Yu Yuanzheng looked at Shangguan Ziqi, saw him nod, and walked over.

Chen took off a bracelet from her wrist and put it on Yu Yuanzheng's hand.

You can tell it’s top-quality stuff at first glance.

"Thank you, grandma." Yu Yuanzheng squatted down and bowed to express her gratitude.

Chen was not the princess's biological mother, but her stepmother.

But this stepmother was chosen well by the old wife of Duke Weiguo. She only gave birth to sons and no daughters. She treated the princess very well and basically treated her as her own daughter.

When the princess was at her parents' home, she never suffered from her stepmother's bullying. Instead, she received the same love as her mother, and was also loved by the old wife of the Duke of Wei.

The princess is relatively lucky.

The old Mrs. Weiguo had passed away long ago.

Then the relatives and friends who had arrived from each family greeted each other and got to know each other.

It was Yu Yuanzheng’s first time here and she didn’t know anyone, so the princess introduced everyone to her one by one.

Two aunts and their cousins.

Many people also came from the Duke's wife's family.

People from the families of the Duke’s two younger brothers, as well as the married aunts.

There are quite a few people.

"Cousin, cousin-in-law. Come on, I'll take you for a walk in the garden." Qin Jiaoyan, the eldest cousin from my uncle's family, invited.

She was the oldest of the children, already fourteen years old, while the others were too young.

"Just take your cousin's wife out to play, and your cousin can go to the study with grandfather to chat." Duke Weiguo Qin Jing ordered with a smile.

Yu Yuanzheng went to the garden to play surrounded by a group of children.

She feels like she has become the leader of the children now.

"Cousin, I heard you play the zither very well. I have prepared the zither in the garden a long time ago. Come on, I want to listen and learn.

But I didn't go back for the palace banquet, and I heard about it from other people later." Qin Jiaoyan was very familiar.

It can be seen that she is a cheerful and lively girl.

"Cousin, you guys go and play. I'm not feeling well, so I won't go to the garden to get some fresh air." A girl who looked a little older said to Qin Jiaoyan.

"What's wrong? Didn't you sleep well last night?" Qin Jiaoyan was a little confused.

"Maybe," said the girl.

"alright."

Yu Yuanzheng went to the garden with Qin Jiaoyan and several other girls of similar age.

"Cousin, who was that girl just now?" Yu Yuanzheng saw from the girl's face that she did not look uncomfortable, but had a rosy complexion.

"She is my great aunt's daughter, my cousin, Liu Yueru. My great aunt asked my mother to find her a husband, so she is staying with us temporarily."

"Is the marriage settled?"

"Not yet. This family doesn't like her, and that family doesn't like her. I don't know what kind of family she wants to marry into."

"What does her family do?"

"Oh, my uncle is a magistrate in a state capital."

Yu Yuanzheng understood what she meant. She didn't want to marry outside the capital, but wanted to marry into a good family in the capital.

In other words, you want to climb up the ladder.

Yu Yuanzheng and a group of children were playing in the garden.

The princess chatted with the wife of Duke Weiguo and a group of relatives.

The Duke of Wei took his son-in-law and grandson to his study to chat.

"Your Highness, is Ziqi's leg really beyond saving?" Duke Weiguo was very concerned about his grandson.

It is not a good thing for the throne of the crown prince to fall into the hands of a bastard.

A hundred years after the prince passes away, the crown prince will inherit the throne, but he is not his grandson, so his relationship with the palace will not be as close.

Shangguan Ziqi and the prince looked at each other, and the prince shook his head lightly.

"Grandfather, it's good enough that my grandson can wake up. I don't ask for too much. I just want to live a good life with my wife and raise a few children."

Shangguan Ziqi's indifferent attitude made the Duke of Wei sigh deeply.

"Your wife is a lucky one. She got pregnant with twins right away. It's really rare that she's so fertile." Duke Wei smiled again when he thought of this.

"Yes, Madam is the best woman." Shangguan Ziqi's smile became even gentler when he mentioned Yu Yuanzheng.

"Alright, Your Highness, let's play a game of chess. We can drink tea and chat while we play."

Shangguan Ziqi stayed by their side, pouring tea for them. As time went on, he couldn't sit still anymore. He already knew everything the two elders were talking about. Then he suggested going to the garden to look for his cousins.

The breeze pushed him slowly on the way to the back garden.

And just when we were about to reach the back flower circle.

The two girls were running and playing without looking at the road. The girl in front even ran backwards a few steps while running to tease the girl behind her.

When he arrived in front of Shangguan Ziqi, he showed no intention of stopping and was about to fall into the arms of Shangguan Ziqi who was sitting in a wheelchair.
