Demoted from wife to concubine? Reborn, the mistress of a noble family plots another high-status mar

Chapter 998

"Your Majesty, this is a decision that cannot be made before the child is born. I'm just asking, what if it's a son?"

"It's possible now, isn't it!"

Yun Xiyue held his hand, comforting him while giving him a heads-up.

"Ah Yue, I think this really is a daughter. Look how gently she kicks me." Murong Yu held her, his face pressed against her belly.

He wanted a daughter and didn't want her to have any more children.

They already have enough children; the rest can be left for the other princes to have.

Yun Xiyue patted his head. "Alright! I trust the Emperor's intuition."

"Hmm. If it's not a little princess, I'll accept it. We won't have any more children after this one."

The two chatted for a while, and Murong Yu felt a little restless when he got close to her; he was at the peak of his energy right now.

So he couldn't resist and lowered his head to kiss Yun Xiyue.

"Ah Yue, please help me."

Yun Qingli blushed slightly, "Mmm."

Outside the window, a biting wind, carrying heavy snowflakes, howled wildly, turning the world into a silvery white expanse. Tree branches drooped low under the weight of the snow, and the lake was already frozen solid.

Inside, the stove was burning brightly, its orange flames leaping merrily.

When it was hot, Yun Xiyue was covered in sweat. She had taken off several pieces of clothing, and the sweat on her forehead soaked her hair.

My wrists are sore.

"Ah Yue, you've worked hard." Murong Yu looked pleased, took her hand, and kissed it. "The little princess didn't cause any trouble, did she?"

Yun Xiyue blushed and said, "I didn't make a scene."

"By the way, any news from Qingmei?"

Murong Yu put his arm around her and said, "Granny Cao has already arrived in Great Wei. With her taking care of Princess Qingyun, there's no need to worry. Besides, this child is one that Mo Ye herself wanted to give to her."

"Then we will cherish it all the more."

The Wei dynasty also had no intention of continuing the war.

War depletes the national treasury, requiring a period of recuperation and recovery.

"Now that we have made peace with Dongling and Nanqiang, we should also begin to recuperate."

Yun Xiyue strongly agreed, "Then we can take advantage of this time to study the seeds and increase the grain production of Great Xia."

"Yes, A-Yue is truly virtuous and capable. I am so fortunate to have married you," Murong Yu said with a smile.

She was tired and needed to rest.

There's no way to avoid edema.

They can only eat vegetables and fruits.

After Yun Xiyue fell asleep, Murong Yu went to check on the children.

The three little ones have been playing wildly these past two days, and because they were playing in the snow in Beijing, they caught a cold.

Ghost Hand felt a little guilty and quickly gave the children their medicine.

"We don't need to tell A-Yue, do we?"

Murong Yu looked displeased. "Let's see if the fever can break tonight."

Ghost Hand said, "It's fine, no problem. It's normal for children to catch a cold occasionally. Don't worry, I'm here. If you keep them so restricted and don't let them play, they'll lose their childhood when they grow up."

He knew that as a prince, their path would be more difficult than others; the greater the wealth they enjoyed, the greater the responsibility they would bear.

As a prince, you will have to shoulder the responsibility of protecting your country and thinking about the future of the nation.

Like Murong Yu, he had no childhood after the age of three.

Murong Yu took a deep breath and said, "I understand, but we still need to tell A-Yue that the child is sick."

Knowing he was in the wrong, Ghost Hand remained silent.

Fortunately, the children were much better the next day; their fevers had subsided, and they only had a slight cough and runny nose.

Yun Xiyue could tell at a glance that the child was sick. "Why didn't you tell me sooner?"

Murong Yu said, "It's too late, and you were asleep. So I didn't want to disturb you. It's just a minor cold, which has already been treated."

They showed them the herbal medicine manual.

It's really not a big problem.

Timely treatment prevented a lung infection.
