Don't disturb me, I won't be a concubine

A few days after the Shangyuan Festival, Feng Jiyuan returned from Yingzhou. When he returned to the capital, he did not go back to his residence first, but went straight to Dong's Mansion.

After receiving the news, the entire Dong family went out to greet him.

As soon as Xu Yiwan saw Feng Jiyuan, she said, "Jiyuan, why are you back so soon? Why don't you stay at home with your parents for a few more days?"

Feng Jiyuan saluted, "Wish my uncle and aunt a happy old age."

"Get up quickly -" Xu Yiwan stepped forward to help him up.

Feng Jiyuan straightened up. Although he had been traveling for several days, he was not tired at all, and the smile on his face was still as refreshing as spring breeze.

"Spring is coming soon, and my parents also want me to come back early so that I can concentrate on preparing for the exam."

Dong Jingtang nodded, "There is not much time left, so we should make preparations early."

"Are your parents okay?" Xu Yiwan asked.

"It's all good. By the way, they also asked me to bring things to my uncle and aunt." Feng Jiyuan said and motioned to Wu Tong to take down the things from the carriage.

"It's true that your mother came all the way and asked you to bring so many things here."

Dong Jiabao said from the side: "Mother, let Huaiyun come in and talk."

"Yes, yes, stop standing outside and come in quickly." Xu Yiwan led Feng Jiyuan towards the house.

Butler Sun and Mother Guo helped Wu Tong take the things in.

Everyone came to the hall and took their seats. Dong Jingtang and Xu Yiwan asked Feng Jiyuan some things about Yingzhou.

It was getting late, and Xu Yiwan asked Feng Jiyuan to stay and have dinner together.

Feng Jiyuan stood up and said: "Thank you for your kindness, aunt, but I won't eat here today. I have been away for more than a month. I need to go back and clean up, and come to visit another day."

Xu Yiwan still wanted to persuade her to stay, "Just let the manager do this, there is no need for you to do it..."

"He must be tired from running all the way, so let him go back and rest." Dong Jingtang said.

"That's alright," Xu Yiwan listened to his words, "Then I'll give it to you."

"Auntie, please don't bother me..." Feng Jiyuan changed the subject, "Why don't Jia Lin and Afu see me off."

"Okay, then go ahead."

Dong Jialin and Dong Jiafu saw Feng Jiyuan off.

On the way, Dong Jialin said: "You go back and rest for a few days. I will come back to you later."

"That's what I had in mind," Feng Jiyuan looked at Dong Jiafu beside him, "Afu, please come too, and big brother."

Dong Jiafu nodded in agreement, "Okay."

"I'll go talk to my eldest brother, but he won't necessarily go. Since the New Year, he has been eager to break one day into two." Dong Jialin was a little helpless, secretly worried about whether his body could bear it.

"Brother is here for Yijia. I believe there will be no problem with him. I have to step up."

Feng Jiyuan suddenly felt a sense of urgency. Although he did not dare to win the first prize, he could not lose his reputation.

Outside the door, Feng Jiyuan took a bag of things from the carriage alone and came to Dong Jiafu, "Afu, you haven't been back to Yingzhou for many years. Here are some gadgets you liked in the past. I gave them to you to relieve your boredom. .”

Dong Jiafu was slightly stunned. She didn't expect that he would bring her something from Yingzhou.

She reached out and took it, "Thank you for letting you spend money."

Feng Jiyuan smiled and shook his head, "They are just small things, not worth much."

"There are so many people, but you only prepared it specially for Afu." Dong Jialin said meaningfully.

Feng Jiyuan's face heated up and he turned around quickly, "I, I'm leaving first..."

At the end of the month, Dong Jiafu received a post from the Shen family. It was a wedding invitation. Cui Yaying gave birth to a boy.

Dong Jiafu was happy for her and went to see her two days later with a congratulatory gift.

Yuzhu led Dong Jiafu into the house with a happy face.

Cui Yaying leaned on the bed and reached out to her when she saw her, "Afu, you're here."

"Yaying, congratulations on becoming a mother." Dong Jiafu sat down on the embroidery stool beside the bed.

"Only now do I deeply understand the difficulty behind the title 'mother'," Cui Yaying lamented. "This child has tormented me all day and night. Several times I felt like I was going to die..."

"Madam, it is not appropriate to say such words on such a happy day." Qingdai reminded in a low voice.

"I know, isn't this Afu coming? I told her some personal things. I can't say these words to my mother, lest she make her feel more distressed. I didn't dare to say anything to her. When she came to see me I still shed tears." Cui Yaying said with sadness.

Dong Jiafu nodded slightly, "Even if you don't say anything, the eldest lady, as a mother, knows how difficult it is for you, and it is inevitable that she feels sorry for you."

"Yeah... By the way, I haven't let you meet Brother Quan yet," Cui Yaying told Qingdai, "Go and have a look and bring Brother Quan over."

Qingdai turned around and went out, and soon came back with the baby in her arms, "What a coincidence, the young master just woke up."

"Give me quickly—" Cui Yaying couldn't wait to reach out her hand.

Qingdai carefully put the child in her arms.

"Afu, look, this is my full brother." Cui Yaying said softly.

Dong Jiafu came closer and saw that the child was a small ball, pink and tender, with bright eyes and a moving mouth.

"His eyebrows are like Mr. Shen's, but his nose and mouth are like yours. He will definitely be a handsome and good man when he grows up."

Cui Yaying smiled and said: "I don't ask for anything else. I just hope that he can grow up safely and happily."

A mother's initial expectations for her children are always so simple and pure.

"Madam, you are still in confinement. You cannot be tired. I will put the young master next to you." Qingdai said.

Cui Yaying didn't show any restraint and asked her to take the child over.

At this time, Ziyuan came in and reported: "Madam, my wife has brought two ladies to see the young master."

Hearing this, Dong Jiafu stood up and said, "Yaying, take good care of yourself. I'll leave first."

"You're leaving so soon? I haven't been able to say a few words to you. You must come when Brother Quan's full moon ceremony comes."

"That's natural." Dong Jiafu responded.

Cui Yaying then asked Yuzhu to send her out.

At night, Cui Qiyan finished handling the matters at hand in the study and was about to go back to rest when he heard a knock on the door.

"Come in." No need to think, the only person outside the door is Ji Bai.

The door opened and it was indeed Ji Bai who came in.

"Your Majesty, someone has sent an urgent letter."

"Where is it?"

"Yangzhou." Ji Bai handed the letter over with both hands.

"Yangzhou?" Cui Qiyan opened the envelope in confusion. There were two pieces of paper inside. After reading it, his expression suddenly became solemn.

Ji Bai noticed something strange about him, "Your Majesty, what happened?"

"Prepare two fast horses and follow me to Yangzhou in the next two days." Cui Qiyan put the letter back into the envelope.

"So anxious? Why are you going to Yangzhou?"

"Rescue."

Ji Bai wanted to ask again, but he saw that Cui Qiyan had already stood up and walked out the door.
