   Chapter 268 Return

  The good news of Pizhou spreads frequently, and the Yongjia Emperor is very happy.

  All the ministers praised the prince one after another for his calm temperament, prudent behavior, and kindheartedness...

   The eldest prince was bubbling with sourness.

   If it wasn't for the impulsive action of the mother, the father and the emperor would not have established the prince early. With his father's preference for him, the errand to go to Pizhou to oversee the army and help the people must be his. Therefore, it should be him who is famous for it.

  Unfortunately, I can only think about it now.

   No matter how sour his heart is, the eldest prince can't show half of it, and he has to squeeze out a smile to praise the prince's wiseness and martial arts together.

  Li Hao and the fourth prince were each pantothenic acid in their hearts, and they did not show their faces, and they all showed how happy they were for the prince.

Emperor Yongjia did not pay attention to the mood of his sons. He smiled and said to the Minister of Officials: "Pizhou is still unstable, the Xingyang Army will continue to stay in Pizhou, and the officials elected by the Ministry of Officials must leave for Pizhou soon. available."

  The Minister of Personnel took the lead.

   After the dynasty disbanded, Emperor Yongjia rewarded Lu Mansion and the Second Prince Mansion generously.

   This is also a court practice. If you win the battle, you will definitely be rewarded.

   Shen Lan, who was seven months pregnant, took the reward from the palace and went to the Second Prince's Mansion in a carriage.

  Lu Mingyu is also six months pregnant, and her belly is bigger than Shen Lan's. The complexion is very good, the white is red, the eyes are bright, and the lips are smiling: "Second sister-in-law, your belly is so big, you have to be more careful when traveling in a carriage."

  Shen Lan smiled and said, "I'll see you today, and I'll be waiting in the house to give birth, and I won't go out and walk around again."

   Then, he was amazed at Lu Mingyu's belly: "The last time I saw you, my belly was not that big. Now it's bigger than me."

  Lu Mingyu smiled helplessly: "Yeah, Zhou Yuan said that I am pregnant with twins. After five months of pregnancy, the children will grow faster and faster, and the belly will always be bigger."

   Shen Lan couldn't help but reached out and touched Lu Mingyu's stomach lightly: "It's only six months, and in two months, won't it be like a puffed ball?"

   Shen Lan didn't say anything next.

   With such a big belly and two children, it must be more dangerous than an ordinary pregnant woman when giving birth!

Lu Mingyu saw the worry in Shen Lan's eyes, and said with a smile: "Don't worry. The Zhou Yuan envoy asked me for a pulse every day to raise my fetus, saying that my pulse is stable, and I have a foundation for practicing martial arts. If I am in good health, it is a premature birth. , don't worry."

   How can you not worry.

   Shen Lan didn't worry about this child, she was all worried about Lu Mingyu. She cheered up and asked with a smile, "Is the delivery room ready? Is the nurse ready?"

  Lu Mingyu nodded slightly: "The delivery room is ready. The mother has selected four midwives from the palace, and the nurse has also prepared four."

  Shen Lan laughed dumbly: "Does nanny have to prepare so much?"

  Lu Mingyu is also a little funny: "The mother said that a child and two wet nurses are just right, and I am afraid that the milk will not be enough after the child is born."

   These are Queen Qiao's thoughts. As a daughter-in-law, Lu Mingyu accepts it with a smile.

  Shen Lan smiled again: "In a few days, the third sister will give birth to confinement. The two of us can't go to Zhou's house right now, but we have to prepare a generous gift."

  Lu Mingyu smiled and nodded.

  Lu Minghua had a labor attack more than half a month ago and gave birth to a fat white son.

   Mr. Zhou, Mrs. Zhou, had a grandson and was beaming with joy. Zhou Li was very happy when he became a father, and went to the Lu family and the Second Prince's Mansion to announce the good news.

   For the child's baptism, Lu Mingyu and Shen Lan both went. When the child is full moon, the two aunts and sisters are really not small, and it is not suitable for them to leave the house. The congratulations should be generous, lest the Zhou family neglect Lu Minghua.

   After some gossip, Shen Lan said in a low voice: "Pizhou has won a great victory. His Royal Highness has done an excellent job in helping the people. Hearing that the Emperor is very happy. He has greatly praised His Highness in the court."

Speaking of Li Jing, Lu Mingyu's eyes softened a bit: "After winning the battle, we have to organize military affairs. The army will stay in Pizhou for a while before returning to the court. His Highness sent me a letter, saying that it will take at least another period of time. On the day, he can set off back to Beijing. He has to catch up with the birth of a pair of children."

  Shen Lan smiled and glanced at Lu Mingyu: "Xiaoyu, you should really look in the mirror and see how you look at the moment."

  Lu Mingyu smiled and rolled his eyes: "What's wrong with me?"

  Shen Lan joked: "It's nothing. Just mentioning His Royal Highness, his eyes are full of tenderness and longing. Hey, is this still the valiant and valiant little jade in my memory who never had a son or daughter?"

  Lu Mingyu felt goosebumps all over his body, and spat at her with a smile.

   She did miss him a bit.

  Li Jing, you must come back early. I and a pair of children are waiting for your return.

  Lu Mingyu quietly stroked his stomach, the corners of his mouth raised slightly.

  …

   Ten days later, the full moon banquet of the Zhou family was very lively.

   After Lu Minghua was out of confinement, he made a special trip to the Second Prince's Mansion to visit Lu Mingyu. After seeing Lu Mingyu's bulging belly, Lu Minghua was also amazed, and repeatedly told Lu Mingyu to take good care of the baby.

  Lu Mingyu responded with a smile.

   Seeing her huge belly, everyone broke into a cold sweat for her. On the contrary, she herself is calm and peaceful, and takes care of her baby every day.

  Three meals a day plus afternoon tea and supper. When you are full, go to the garden to digest your food, or go around the martial arts field, and urge Lu Xuan to practice martial arts.

   Maintaining a moderate amount of exercise is also a good thing for pregnant women. Of course, Zhou Yuan will not stop it.

   However, after Lu Mingyu's pregnancy entered seven months, the Zhou Yuan envoy became extra cautious and waited around every day.

   This is worried that Lu Mingyu will have abdominal pain at any time.

   There is a popular saying in the folks, seven lives are not enough. It means that a child born prematurely at seven months can feed. On the contrary, children born at an early age of eight months are more difficult to raise.

  It is not uncommon for women who are pregnant with twins to be born prematurely by more than seven months.

   was Lu Mingyu himself, and he was a little careful.

   The waiting time seemed to pass very slowly. Every day counts the days.

   In October, Lu Mingyu's legs began to swell, his cheeks were slightly swollen, and his stomach was heavy. He had to turn over on the bed and had to be helped.

   Qiyun's injury has been taken care of, and she stays by Lu Mingyu's side for twelve hours a day. At night, he sleeps on his feet.

  Lu Mingyu made a slight movement, and Qiyun turned over and sat up, waiting for Lu Mingyu to turn over, or for a convenient stay. Lu Mingyu felt sorry for Qiyun, and she couldn't be separated from her, so she wanted to order another maid to wait on her body and take turns with Qiyun to rest.

   Qiyun said: "When others are serving you, slaves can't rest assured."

   In short, having twins is really hard. Change to a weaker woman, I'm afraid I can't hold it anymore.

   In mid-October, when Lu Mingyu was eight months pregnant, the Xingyang army returned to the court. Prince Li Jing also returned to Beijing.
