Concubine Liang sighed deeply, "Everything you see is fake. You think you get along well with Wen Yan and Wen Heng, and that you have a deep brotherly love. But I tell you, they all have their own purposes."

Wen Chao looked at his mother, "Mother..."

"At this point, can't you see it?" Concubine Liang clenched her fists in anger. "Wen Yan's mother is the emperor's favorite woman. He did everything to protect Wen Yan. He hid it so deeply. Over the years, has he ever told you a word about how the emperor actually treats him well?"

Wen Chao was silent.

Because never.

"Wen Heng, it won't be so easy for him to enter the palace. The emperor doesn't recognize him. I always feel that his child is very scheming. Wen Chao, they are all eager for the throne. If you don't fight for it, you are no worse than them."

Wen Chao continued to remain silent.

"Okay, you'll know later. Go back and think about it. Even if you don't fight for her, I see that you like Xia Zhiliao very much. Don't you want to be with her in the future?"

Wen Chao hated Xia Zhiliao at first, thinking she was just like those girls, but after getting to know her more, he realized how narrow-minded he was.

Xia Zhiliao is different from all the girls he knows.

She is much more interesting than them.

Whenever he thought of Xia Zhiliao's different attitude towards Wen Heng, he felt a little lost.

Concubine Liang did not persuade her any further, as there were some things he needed to figure out on his own.

Wen Chao suffered from insomnia for the first time in his life.

……

On this day, the Xia family received a letter from Xia Jinxiu.

After reading the letter, Old Lady Xia had it delivered to the princess's residence to make Xia Jinjun and Chang Yue happy.

As Chang Yue's memories were recalled, he slowly picked up the things he had learned as a child.

It's just that she hasn't practiced for many years, so she's still a little behind. But she has nothing to do at home, so she has plenty of time to practice.

She has been transformed from the country woman she was before.

"What did Jinxiu say?" Chang Yue put down her pen and looked at her painting. It was still a little off, but it didn't matter. As long as she was happy looking at it, that was enough.

She didn't need to please anyone anyway.

"Read it yourself." Xia Jinjun handed her the letter, "You'll be happier if you read it yourself."

"What? Could it be that Jinxiu is pregnant?"

This is normal for a married woman, and Mu Zhanpeng is a man who can be trusted.

"How clever."

"That's true." Chang Yue read the letter and found that he had guessed correctly, "It said that Jinxiu also opened a small restaurant."

"She's really amazing." Chang Yue was also happy for them. "Lord Mu has managed the place very well. I feel relieved now."

"Looking further ahead, Jinxiu said she would come back."

"She is pregnant. Can she travel such a long distance?" Chang Yue asked worriedly.

"If she thinks it's okay, then it must be okay. She has never been separated from her mother for so long in all these years. I'm afraid she misses her."

"Jinxiu is really wronged, alas..."

"There's nothing to be wronged about. The life we ​​have now is something we didn't dare to hope for before. She married a good man. Look at her letter, there is not a single word of complaint. I see happiness between the lines."

Chang Yue smiled and nodded.

Soon, Xia Jinjun told several children, and Xia Zhiliao was the happiest. "Is my aunt coming back? That's great."

[I hope the old emperor won't have any more thoughts, but I don't think so, right? ]

This is also what Xia Jinjun and Chang Yue are worried about, but think about it, Emperor Shunde should not bear the infamy of seizing a minister's wife.

No matter what she really did, Xia Jinxiu would never marry Mu Zhanpeng.

Thinking in this way, everyone felt relieved.

Xia Zhiliao was worried that Emperor Shunde would take action secretly, but then he thought, the emperor wouldn't do that, right?

A conceited man like him should enjoy his aunt's regret more.

She regretted not being his woman, and she cried bitterly and prostrated herself at his feet.

So she gave up the idea of ​​asking Wen Heng for help.

Xia Jinxiu left half a month after the letter was sent. She had already told Mu Zhanpeng that she would stay in Beijing to spend the New Year with the children.

The main reason was that she was afraid that there might be danger during delivery, so she felt more at ease with Xia Zhiliao around.

As an official, Mu Zhanpeng was not allowed to enter Beijing without being summoned, but she felt that a short separation was for a long reunion.

Nothing is more important than her life.

Mu Zhanpeng also agreed, "The children will be happy if you can accompany them, but I can't go back with you."

Xia Jinxiu smiled gently, "Don't you have your own business? The emperor brought you to such a remote place, but you managed it so well. If he knew, he would probably regret it to death."

"It's the same everywhere. We're all working for the people." Mu Zhanpeng was very open-minded and didn't care at all that this was a remote and poor place with no money.

He even asked his wife to earn money to subsidize him, which made him feel a little embarrassed.

Xia Jinxiu, on the other hand, not only didn't care, she also comforted him, "Husband and wife are one, and you are doing a good thing, how can I not support you?"

Mu Zhanpeng patted her hands and said, "I'm sorry for putting you through this."

"I'm not wronged. I'm just a country girl. It's already a great honor for me to be favored by you."

"You can't say that. You are smart and hardworking. If you go to the capital, I'm afraid there will be many people who want to marry you. What's more..."

She is not even as good as the palace fighters.

Just for this reason, Mu Zhanpeng looked at her with admiration.

"Alright, alright, let's not talk about this anymore. Get ready. If you have anything to say to your sons, write it down and I'll take it with me."

Xia Jinxiu decided to set off tomorrow and reach the capital before the snow blocked the mountains, which would be safer.

Otherwise it would be too cold and it would be painful on the road.

"They all understand, no need to explain. Zhuo Xuan is the youngest and the weakest. Please help me take good care of him."

"Do not worry."

"As for you and the baby in your belly, I would feel most at ease if you gave birth in the capital. You will have family members there to take care of you."

"Okay, okay, I get it. You're going to say things I don't like to hear again. You should also take good care of yourself. I'll come back when I'm done giving birth and can."

"No hurry, your health is the most important." Mu Zhanpeng was naturally reluctant to leave, but the conditions in a place like this were not very good. Especially for women, childbirth is a near-death experience. He had experienced it once and didn't want Xia Jinxiu to lose her life too.

He originally didn't want to have any more children, but Xia Jinxiu didn't have any children yet and she insisted on having her own child, so he followed her wishes.

Going to Beijing to give birth was a common idea for both of them.

"And... the Emperor..."

"Don't worry, he won't force you." Xia Jinxiu also realized that the old emperor was still a little afraid.

"Jinxiu, no matter what, saving your life is the most important thing. You are the most important."

Xia Jinxiu smiled softly, feeling moved.
