The fake daughter married into the mountains and had meat to eat every day during the famine

Tang Jingshan took over the conversation.

"The Northern Frontier is already weak right now. As long as we stabilize the Western Region, the Northern Frontier soldiers will be able to break through one by one. By the time the Western Region finally reacts, the best opportunity to join forces with the Northern Frontier will have passed."

Another person also spoke.

"Your Majesty can then use the newly signed treaty as an excuse to force them to pay compensation. This strategy is simply perfect."

Xu Qingye shook his head. "Although the Western Region has crossed Qingmu Mountain, they haven't taken any action. They'll just say they're training, and we won't be able to say anything. If we want the Western Region to completely submit, we'll have to find another way."

The emperor thought for a moment and finally made the decision.

"This plan is feasible, OK!"

……

After the first month of the lunar year, the weather turned warmer, new buds sprouted on the lawn in the front yard, and the crabapple trees in the main yard had already grown buds, and the whole yard was full of vitality.

Although the emperor rewarded him with a larger mansion, it would still take a lot of work to renovate it.

Now the children at home are still young, Xu Wencheng is not married yet, and they have only lived in this courtyard for more than two years, so Song Yuntang is not in a hurry to move.

I want to wait until she recovers from childbirth, then slowly renovate the yard, and when Xu Wencheng gets married, the family will move in.

Xia Ning entered the yard and saluted Song Yuntang.

"Madam, the people who went to Cile Town to investigate came back and said that back then, Madam Song was working as an embroiderer at a tailor shop. After the attack, her condition was urgent and there was no time to call a doctor, so three embroiderers worked together to deliver her. Two of the three embroiderers had seen the crescent birthmark on the back of your head, so the story is basically true."

She glanced behind Song Yuntang.

“You may really be born by Old Madam Song.”

Song Yuntang nodded, his face calm.

"I see."

Actually, it's predictable.

The capital is so far away from Cile Town.

A newborn baby changes every day.

It is not easy to travel more than a thousand miles in a short time without causing the people in the Lin Mansion to become suspicious.

Xia Ning looked at her.

"Madam, would you please inform Mrs. Tang of this news?"

Song Yuntang thought about it, shook his head and said, "Not yet, let her continue to hold on to her fantasy. She is old and in poor health. I'm afraid she won't be able to bear it if I really tell her."

Speaking of which, the two elders of the Tang family are also pitiful people.

He is obviously a lively person.

Now that I am old, I still have no children.

As for Madam Tang, she was depressed because of the death of the late queen a few years ago, and her health has not been very strong. Now she is recuperating by taking the pills she made.

Maybe five years, maybe eight years, maybe ten years.

It would be fine if she could find it out herself.

If nothing can be found, let her enjoy her old age with this fantasy.

Although Xia Ning used to be a guard in the Tang Mansion, Song Yuntang was her master, so naturally she would do whatever her master said.

"My subordinates know."

Song Yuntang nodded, holding his stomach and trying to stand up from the chair.

Seeing this, Xia Ning hurried over to support him.

But as soon as she stood up, she felt a warm current flowing under her legs, and she quickly sat back on the recliner.

"Xia Ning, quickly get someone to clean up the delivery room!"

Her water didn't break when Sheng Haoting went into labor, so she had plenty of time to bathe and change clothes.

Now that my water has broken, I naturally cannot move around.

Song Yuntang has had Xia Ning by his side since Hao Ting was born. Seeing this situation now, what is there that he doesn't understand?

The master is still in the Hanlin Academy and has not returned yet.

The masters of the house are the lady and the young master.

The young master is still young, so we can't rely on him. Xia Ning hurried to the backyard.

"Jinshu, quickly ask the midwife to prepare everything."

"Lan Xinzhiruo is cleaning the delivery room!"

"Zhou Songwu, go to the Xinglin Clinic and have Doctor Zhou come to our house. While you're there, stop him at the palace gate and tell him to hurry home. Madam is about to give birth."

"Yuanzhi, go to the Tang Mansion and the Song Family and tell them the news about Madam."

The people in the mansion took action.

When Hao Ting heard the noise here, he quickly slid down from the swing and ran to Song Yuntang with his short legs.

He looked quietly at Song Yuntang on the recliner, his clear eyes full of worry.

"Mother, are you okay?"

Song Yuntang smiled gently and reached out to touch his head.

"Mom is fine, Haoting, don't worry." Then she asked him, "My little brother is about to be born, are you happy, Haoting?"

"Happy." Xu Haoting wrinkled his nose. "How did mother know it was a younger brother? What if it was a younger sister?"

Song Yuntang was amused by his words.

"My brothers and sisters are all good, and mother likes them all."

The contractions haven't started yet, but because she's experienced it once before and has taken all the precautions she should have, she's not that nervous right now.

The child pursed his lips, and his serious expression looked exactly like Xu Qingye.

"Will mother be in danger when my brother is born?"

Although he was happy that he was going to be a big brother, he was still more worried about his mother. He occasionally overheard the adults talking when he was playing nearby, and knew that giving birth to a child was not an easy thing.

Seeing the worry in his son's eyes, Song Yuntang felt warm in his heart.

"Don't worry, Haoting, the midwife and Doctor Zhou will do everything they can to protect your mother's safety, and you will also work hard yourself."

After arranging everything, Xia Ning returned to Song Yuntang's side.

"Madam, what should I do next?"

After Song Yuntang asked Xu to take good care of Hao Ting, he looked at Xia Ning.

"My water has broken. I'm afraid you'll have to carry me to the delivery room."

"it is good."

Xia Ning is a martial artist. Although Song Yuntang is pregnant, except for the bulge in her belly, her limbs and shoulders are still slender.

He picked her up and walked to the main courtyard easily.

The delivery room has been set up.

Two midwives are also ready.

Because her water broke, Song Yuntang could only lie on the delivery bed waiting for the labor pains to come, and she couldn't leave even to eat or drink.

The Song family was the closest to the Xu residence. After Song Jinsheng and Mu Qiu heard the news, they immediately brought Song Jun, Song Yi, Zhao and Song Jinbao here.

Zhao and Song Jinbao came when Song Jun was three months old.

At first, Liu thought that if her parents-in-law went to the capital to live a life of luxury with her brother-in-law and develop a good relationship with them, everything they had in the future would fall into the hands of the second wife, and the first wife would not benefit from it, so she did not want to let them go.

After Mu Qiu gave birth to Song Jun, Song Jinsheng was so angry that he cut off contact with his family for two months.

No letters were sent, no replies were received, and no subsidies were given.

Zhao tried to persuade Liu until she gave her an additional five taels of silver as betrothal gift. Only then did she finally give in and let the old couple take Song Yi with them to the capital.

Seeing this, Zhao became more and more dissatisfied with Liu.

When the family was poor, the eldest daughter-in-law was a little greedy and timid and afraid to take risks, but she didn't have any other problems.

Later, when things at home gradually got better, she became jealous and acted like she was obsessed with money.

The key point is that she has never been a strong-willed person, and she couldn't suppress Liu, which led to her becoming more and more arrogant in front of her mother-in-law.
