Fragrance Returned

On the early morning of the eighth day of June, the rising sun rises in the east, the morning glow is dazzling, and everything in the world is enveloped in the morning light.

At the main entrance of Zhenhaihou Mansion, the masters sent Sun Yumu, who was dressed in military uniform, here.

He will enter the military camp today and head to the front line with the army tomorrow. Prince Gao Guang will lead his ministers to see him off at the South City Gate.

This time the generalissimo of the Southern Expedition is Mr. Mihou. The emperor sent him to quell the rebellion not only because he trusted him, but also because of the prince.

Sun Yumu knelt down and kowtowed to the old Marquis, Sun Marquis and Mrs. Sun one by one.

Mrs. Sun couldn't bear it anymore and cried bitterly while holding her son.

Xunxiang stood behind Mrs. Sun, wiping her tears with a handkerchief.

Thousands of words were said last night, and hyacinth and ginseng were given to him...

Lord Sun said, "Madam, okay, don't waste Mu'er's time."

Doctor Sun let go.

Sun Yumu stood up and bowed deeply to several elders, then raised his eyes to look at Xunxiang.

The little wife's eyes were red and swollen, and she looked at him eagerly...

The two of them looked at each other silently. Sun and Mu nodded to her, then got on their horses and left with a few soldiers.

Mr. Sun Lao Hou said, "The third daughter-in-law will accompany the eldest daughter-in-law back, while Mu's daughter-in-law will go back and have a rest."

The old man was afraid that Xunxiang would be too sad and affect the child in his belly.

When Xunxiang returned to Zixia Courtyard, even though the birds were chirping outside, she felt it was too quiet and she couldn't adapt to it.

Her head felt dizzy and heavy, not only because she didn't get a good rest at night, but also because of early pregnancy symptoms.

I can't even fall asleep even when I lie down in bed.

After being married for just over three months, her husband went to the front line.

Xunxiang never thought that this heartbreaking separation would happen to her.

In ancient times, there was a narrow escape from death. Sun Yumu faced not only brutal killings, but also a harsh environment.

Thinking of that bright face and clean eyes, Xun Xiang's heart tightened.

Sun Yumu grew up in a privileged environment. To achieve success, he had to work harder than others...

There is life and death in a war, and even if she is "extremely prosperous", she is still afraid of what might happen.

But he is a soldier, and she cannot stop him from making achievements and growing up in the war.

Fortunately, before they left, they installed a front sight on the artillery, so that the target would be more accurate...

Xunxiang turned around thousands of times, and it took a long time before she fell into a dream.

She slept until she woke up naturally. When I opened my eyes, I saw the dazzling sun shining white on the window screen. It must be noon.

Aunt Wei who was standing by the bed smiled and said, "Princess, Uncle Ding and his wife are here."

Xunxiang sat up and complained, "Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

"Uncle, please don't let me talk. Please let the princess rest for a while."

Xunxiang put on her clothes and came to the living room.

Ding Zhao took special leave today to spend time with his daughter.

Mrs. Zhang has been sighing these days, fearing that if something happens to her grandson and Mu, Xiangxiang will become a widow.

Ding Zhao couldn't say that Xiangxiang had the magic medicine in his hand, so he had to say, "My daughter is very prosperous, and nothing will happen to my son-in-law."

Zhang said, "I know Xiangxiang's fate, but I'm still worried, in case..."

The couple felt relieved when they saw that Xun Xiang was in good spirits and not losing weight.

Xunxiang asked, "How is my second sister-in-law?"

Xue Tian’s due date in these days.

Mrs. Zhang said, "It's good. The midwife stays at home every day. Your second brother wants to come, but your father didn't let him."

Mrs. Zhang did not dare to say bad words in front of Xun Xiang, and Xun Xiang's family was prosperous, so Sun and Mu would be fine.

Ding Zhao said very little and listened to their mother and daughter chatting.

With Zhang talking and Ding Zhao accompanying her, Xunxiang really felt better.

The couple had dinner here before returning home.

At noon on the ninth day of the lunar month, Xun Xiang had just taken a break when Li Maigao's family came over carrying a basket of red eggs.

She smiled and said, "Second Grandma gave birth to a son this morning, weighing six pounds and nine taels. Mother and son are safe. Madam specifically said that the princess can just enjoy herself at home. Don't rush back to the house today, wait for the three banquets the day after tomorrow. go."

Xunxiang really wanted to see her nephew now, but after hearing what Zhang said, she had no choice but to wait until the day of the third bath.

Ding Zhao has already said that if he gives birth to a boy, he will call him Ding Bingshen.

Xun Xiang asked, "Who does Brother Shen look like?"

The mother-in-law smiled and said, "The young master is very beautiful, more like the second grandma, with big eyes and double eyelids. He also looks a bit like the second master..."

She didn't say how he looked like Ding Liren.

Xun Xiang smiled and said, "My grandfather finally has another descendant with big eyes and double eyelids. Is it the nose that looks like my second brother?"

It is said that people with garlic nose have strong genetics. Among the Ding clan members Xun Xiang knew, there was no one who didn't have a bulbous nose.

The Li and Maigao family laughed out loud, "Oh, yes, the only thing that looks like me is my nose."

Thinking of that little baby, Xunxiang's heavy heart finally got a ray of sunshine and she became happy.

Just after the mother-in-law left, the mother-in-law from the Princess Mansion came again to report the good news.

"Princess Princess, today the imperial doctor came to check Fourth Grandma's pulse. Fourth Grandma is pregnant."

Xun Xiang said happily, "Sister-in-law is pregnant?"

There are no elders or other female relatives in the princess mansion now, so Xunxiang, the sister-in-law, must go back and take a look.

She sent someone to deliver a message to Mrs. Sun, and also asked someone to find some fabrics suitable for children to make clothes and a pound of official swallows to bring with them.

Mrs. Sun asked the girl next to her to come over and said, "The eldest lady said that the princess will go in a soft sedan. It is getting late today, so the princess will rest at the princess mansion for the night. Don't be tired."

This mother-in-law has always been so considerate.

When Xunxiang arrived at the princess residence, Mrs. Mi, Mi Hongmian, Mrs. Xun's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law came.

Mi Honglan sat on the kang with a red face.

Lord Mi went to the south to quell the rebellion, and the Mi family was very nervous. With this happy event, they were also happy.

Madam Mi said, "Did someone send a letter to Her Royal Highness the Princess?"

Mi Honglan said, "Yes."

Madam Mi smiled and said, "That's good. Knowing that you are pregnant, she can come back. There is no female elder in the family, and it is always uneasy."

Xun Xiang and Madam Xun looked at each other.

Based on Dongyang's personality, the son-in-law is definitely more important than the grandson...

Madam Xun smiled and said, "Madam Mi, don't worry, Yi Bo has been a calm director since he was a child, and in some aspects, he is more thoughtful than his parents. The Xun family still has us, we will come from time to time..."

In the evening, after eating with her brother and sister-in-law, Xun Xiang returned to Ziyuan.

Xun Yi Bo wanted to send her off, and Xun Xiang smiled and said, "It's not like I can't find the way, you accompany my sister-in-law."

This is the first time she has lived in Ziyuan since she got married.

Ziyuan has not changed much, but it is more quiet.

Xun Xiang stood in the courtyard, looking at the bright starry sky, and thought of Xiao Bingshen who she had not met yet.

It's really a double happiness now... No, my eldest brother will get married in a month, so it should be a triple happiness.

It was the twelfth lunar month in a blink of an eye. The weather was cold and the water was frozen.

Xun Xiang's belly was already very big. These few days were her due date. She didn't even go out of the yard and only took a walk in the corridor.

At noon on the 18th, heavy snow fell from the sky again.

Xun Xiang sat on the warm kang and made small clothes. Suddenly, her stomach hurt.

"Ouch, my stomach hurts." (End of this chapter)
