Traveling through time as a peasant girl to turn things around

A month later, Ye Heng received the Emperor's decree to return to the capital! He left behind 50,000 troops and brought back 100,000. The men in black followed, returning first. Jiayu and Sun Quan were given the opportunity to return home for the New Year, and they returned to the capital together. Sun Quan passed through Pingjin Prefecture on his way back to his hometown.

On the fifth day of the twelfth lunar month, a large group of people returned to the capital. The emperor led all the officials out of the city to welcome them, and the people lined the streets to welcome them.

Chai Zhen and his bodyguards returned home early—the Chai Mansion. Guoguo also brought a group of children back and arranged for them to live in the mansion. Together with the children from the previous visit, there were over 250 of them, divided into two courtyards. In winter, each room had a kang (a heated kang), keeping the rooms warm. A teacher was hired to teach the children during the day and practice martial arts at night. Old Lady Li took good care of the children, ensuring they were well fed and well clothed.

The Emperor rewarded Chai Zhen for his contribution to the grain donation by making him Duke of Dingguo and his wife a first-rank imperial edict. His family was honored as a third-rank general and attended court during his stay in Beijing. Sun Quan, a third-rank general, and his two wives were third-rank imperial edicts, with a reward of 100,000 taels of gold and silver, 100 bolts of silk, and ten sets of headdresses.

Chai Zhen and his family thanked the emperor and accepted the edict. It was placed in the center of the living room for worship. Chai Zhen could attend court if necessary, or skip it if not. The court robes would be delivered in a few days.

As a result, the Chai family appeared in the public eye. A prosperous life! A prosperous family!

That night, Chai Zhen returned to his room. His wife was sitting by the bed. Seeing his wife's intimacy, he kissed Xia Hua on the mouth. Aroused, he wanted to go deeper, but she said, "Grandpa, we can't do that anymore. We're pregnant." Chai Zhen was overjoyed to hear that. He had another child, and he kept saying, "Great! Great!" It was over three months old. Chai Zhen: "I can bear it." Xia Hua said three months was still okay. Chai Zhen: "Stop for a while, just a few days. The child is more important than you!" Chai Zhen brought some hot water, and they took a bath together before going to bed. Chai Zhen held his wife. "A wife and children warm the bed, that's true." Little Milk Boy slept in Ye Heng's arms. Ye Heng: "Hey, my wife is still little, she can warm the bed too. Hahaha." Little Milk Boy: Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha. I'm dying of laughter. Brother Ye, you're a nurturing type. You have the best relationships!

Two days later, to celebrate Chai Zhen's success, the family was honored with an official title. Invitations were sent out one by one, but not before they were sent to several families. The residences of Duke Huo, Duke Lu, the Minister of War, the Li family—Li Guang's family, the Huo Hua family, and Prince Ye Heng's family.

Little Milk Bag started designing clothes again. Spring and summer onesies for women, and bunny onesies for children. She made them for all the children in her family first, and the children in the backyard all wore little tiger onesies. Little Milk Bag loves children. In the yard, a large group of children ran around chasing and playing, and Old Lady Li liked to watch them play. Sitting in the yard, the days are quiet and peaceful! Xiaodong also came to stay at the Chai family before the New Year.

, that is, he could no longer live with his great-grandfather. He had his own room, and later Huanhuan and Hengheng slept in the same room with him, so Xiaodong didn’t feel so lost! Huanhuan: "Brother Xiaodong, why don’t you come home? We all miss you!" Hengheng: "Yes, Brother Xiaodong, I miss you too." Xiaodong: "After the New Year, I will go home with you." Hengheng: "Okay, it would be great if the three of us could go to school together and go home to play together."

After saying this, the three of them fell asleep. Xiaodong slept soundly. Old Lady Li came to check on them and closed the door. Chai Ye slept with Old Lady Li; he was still young and needed care.

The days with children were filled with laughter and joy. Xia Hua became pregnant, but Chai Zhen refused to let her go to the shop, saying it was to take care of the baby. Chai Zhen stayed home, unwilling to leave. He had a child in his old age, and he married a young wife, so he loved her dearly. But Jiayu held the child in his arms every day, inseparable from her. Even to court, he held Guoguo in his arms. When the ministers complained, the emperor said, "Although the child is young, it doesn't affect court affairs. The child has never seen her father, yet you are not allowing them to cultivate a relationship. You can't let father and daughter meet without knowing each other! Her father has been fighting the enemy on the front lines for years, and he hasn't been able to see her. Therefore, Chai Jiayu is allowed to bring his daughter to court."
