Rebirth: Ordinary Life and Living

Xu Huibao hurriedly said in a flattering tone, "Sister Fu is right. The prince's attack on you that day really scared me. Since I entered the palace, I have never seen the prince so angry. Moreover, if sister Li Fei had not stood up and pleaded for you that day, I am afraid that sister Fu would have been in danger of her life."

Fu Huan hurriedly continued, "Yes, the prince wanted to vent his anger for her, and he killed her regardless of my father. I just offended her with my words. If she officially enters the palace in the future, or becomes a princess, sisters, how will you deal with it?"

Ming Xiangnan stood up angrily and said, "I was there that day too. Even if Sister Fu did something wrong, the one with the surname 銆 was really arrogant that day. She was so arrogant before she even entered the palace. If she lives with us in the backyard in the future, there will be quarrels and conflicts when we eat and live together. If anyone who has a quarrel with her is treated like that by the prince, then who will dare to speak in the future? Who will dare to provoke her? If she continues to monopolize the prince, our lives will be even more miserable in the future!"

Fu Huan quickly agreed, "That's the truth. Now she has a little prince in her arms and is pregnant with another. She has so many bargaining chips in her hands. No matter which one of them inherits this family in the future, we will have no place to stand."

Que Mei, who had been silent the whole time, said, "I think what you said makes sense. So what are your plans for the future?"

Fu Huan followed up with this and said hurriedly: "So I called you here today to discuss with you how to deal with the next situation. First of all, the position of the princess cannot be left hanging forever. I believe everyone can see the attitude of the prince towards the surname. The prince probably has his heart set on her, but we must not let her become the princess, understand?"

Li Ying smiled and stood up and said, "As long as I become the princess, all the sisters will share my love equally, and I will never show partiality. When arranging the services, I will make sure to arrange them fairly, and you can rest assured."

After Li Yingying finished speaking, she looked at everyone with a smile. Everyone looked at Li Yingying, as if they had made a covenant with each other with their eyes.

Soon, news came from the border of Jizhou that two groups of bandits suddenly attacked the infantry battalion under the command of King Yan'an, two small teams on the border, killed many infantrymen, and stole food and fodder.

The closest to Jizhou was Fu Luzhi, Fu Huan's father. Yan'an King Jin Yourong immediately asked Fu Luzhi to go to support him, but Fu Luzhi replied in a letter, "I am worried that my beloved daughter Zhi is suffering from a heart attack and her condition is worrying. As his most capable deputy generals, they are all Fu Huan's cousins. They are all very worried about sister Fu Huan. Now the main general has frequent heart attacks, which has caused the troops to be delayed. I hope the prince will forgive me."

Jin Yourong crumpled the letter into a ball, veins bulging on his forehead, and said angrily: "Since General Fu is suffering from a heart attack and is not in good health, let it go, so as not to make General Fu tired and make me feel uneasy." After saying that, he snorted coldly.

Before Jin Yourong could deal with the situation, news came from Zhazhou City that a group of well-trained men in black had attacked the cavalry camps on all sides, looted a lot of food and fodder, and caused heavy losses.

When Jin Yourong was racking his brains to deal with the situation, someone came to report that Jizhou had already dealt with it. Instead, an old acquaintance of Li Yingying's father from Fuzhou City, which was far away from Jizhou, came to help. The old acquaintance traveled a long way to hunt down the bandits, took back some food and grass, and helped the infantry battalion rebuild the camp, and immediately provided them with the herbs they needed for treatment.

Not long after, someone came to report that in Zhaizhou, Liang Zhizhou, a distant relative of the Fu family and a student of Li Yingying's father, used his own servants, joined forces with Ming Xiangnan's second brother in the neighboring Zhuzhou City, and a black and mute tribe in the southwest border under the jurisdiction of Yue Yaoyi's father to jointly send troops to help and solve Jin Yourong's urgent problem.

Jin Yourong had not had a good rest for several days and nights because of these things. These garrisons were slowly being prepared to deal with Jin Youyuan next.

Unexpectedly, just a few days later, such incidents happened continuously in the area under Jin Yourong's jurisdiction.

The night sky was full of stars. Jin Yourong was in a heavy mood. He walked slowly and unknowingly came to Zhou Xinyue's courtyard.

Looking at the small courtyard originally built for Yaqin, which has not even been named yet, the beautiful woman is gone.

Jin Yourong recalled the moments of his life with Yaqin. Although it was a political marriage at the beginning, Yaqin's dignified and generous character and her calm and non-competitive personality provided a place for spiritual healing for Jin Yourong, who was usually busy.

When he was in a bad mood, Yaqin's gentleness could always accompany him, give him some comfort, and make him have a comfortable place to stay in the palace.

His companionship over the years was like that of a close relative, and he loved and respected her.

Jin Yourong stood silently outside the courtyard for a long time, and couldn't help but walk forward and knock on the door gently.

After a while, Fanxing opened the door and saw that it was Jin Yourong. She hurriedly bowed and welcomed him in.

Jin Yourong asked softly, "Is she asleep?"

Fanxing hurriedly shook her head, Jin Yourong nodded, and let Fanxing go.

Jin Yourong slowly approached Zhou Xinyue's room and saw that the light was still on and there were voices talking.

It turned out that Zhou Xinyue was asking Dr. Yuan Zhi for medical advice.

The child was sleeping peacefully in the cradle nearby. Zhou Xinyue was sitting at the table discussing medical books with Yuan Zhi.

Yuan Zhi felt someone at the door, and when he looked up, he saw it was Jin Yourong.

Yuan Zhi hurriedly knelt down and saluted. After Jin Yourong exempted himself from the salute, Yuan Zhi left.

Jin Yourong felt a little nervous because he hadn't seen Zhou Xinyue for two days.

Zhou Xinyue also seemed a little embarrassed, her eyes drifting away.

Jin Yourong smiled at Zhou Xinyue, walked to the cradle, looked at the sleeping child, and a smile unconsciously appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Zhou Xinyue hurriedly made tea for Jin Yourong, and Jin Yourong touched the child's chubby face.

Zhou Xinyue turned around with the cup of tea in her hand and was about to hand it to him, but as soon as she turned around, Jin Yourong was already behind her. Zhou Xinyue didn't react in time and the cup of tea was knocked over, and the tea instantly poured all over Jin Yourong. He reacted quickly, bent down to catch the cup of tea, and with his other hand caught Zhou Xinyue who was pouring backwards, all in one smooth move.

Zhou Xinyue fell into his arms and their eyes met.

It was a quiet night, with only the occasional chirping of insects in the courtyard.

In the quiet atmosphere, Zhou Xinyue seemed to be able to hear the strong heartbeat coming from his chest.

Zhou Xinyue's cheeks flushed. She stood up quickly, straightened herself up, and apologized hastily, saying, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Your Majesty, are you okay? Your clothes are wet on your chest. I'll go now..."

Zhou Xinyue said this as she walked out, preparing to ask someone to bring two pieces of clothes for the prince.

Before they even reached the door, Jin Yourong grabbed Zhou Xinyue and said in a low voice, "No need, really no need, getting your clothes wet is a small matter, I just want to talk to you."
