Traveling through famine years, peasant girls hold space in their hands to store food

It was a quiet night, in a village outside the city.

Qi Xueer was sitting in the room holding her child, coaxing her softly, while the maid beside her was fanning herself.

"Princess, if the prince falls asleep, would you like to let the wet nurse hold him down first?"

Qi Xueer curled her lips and nodded lightly. The little maid waved to the wet nurse to signal her to take the child away first.

The nanny hugged the child and left the room.

When the little maid saw the person walking in from the door, she pursed her lips and smiled softly and exited the room. Qi Xueer was still sitting in front of the bronze mirror, looking at herself.

Someone suddenly hugged her from behind, and she looked at the man's face with a chuckle through the bronze mirror.

"Busy working!"

The man smiled and said "Yeah" and said softly: "Today's things ended early, why haven't you rested yet?"

Qi Xueer turned around and smiled slightly and asked the man if he could have dinner?

The man chuckled and nodded, pulling Qi Xueer to the inner room and sitting on the soft couch.

"Thank you for your hard work. Did your son make trouble for you today?"

Qi Xueer's face turned slightly red and she replied softly that the child was quite obedient today.

She said that she got up and helped the man pour a cup of tea, brought it to him, and asked when he would leave.

The man put down the tea cup in his hand, pulled Qi Xueer and whispered into her ear that he would never leave again.

"I will stay with you and your son from now on, but I have to wrong you mother and son for the time being."

Qi Xueer bit her lower lip and shook her head. As long as she could stay with him, she wouldn't feel aggrieved at all.

Seeing Qi Xueer's tears falling silently, he stretched out his hand to wipe them away gently, ensuring that he would never leave again, and there would be certain dangers in just staying with him.

So I can only accompany her in this way for the time being.

"I know, I know everything, but sometimes I worry about you unconsciously."

The man raised the corners of his lips, turned over and pressed her down, stretched out his hand to touch her forehead, and looked at her teasingly.

"Do you not trust your man so much?"

Qi Xueer's face suddenly turned red, right down to her ears.

"Well......"

The man suddenly leaned forward and kissed her sensitive earlobe, and Qi Xueer shuddered slightly.

It was dark outside, and the feeling of spring was getting stronger in the room.

At this time, Chu Haochen from Chen Palace had just sent Xiao Ziyi away and turned around and walked towards his room.

Mo Yi appeared behind him at this moment.

"Master, I said that something happened to the eldest lady, and I want you to go back. My subordinate told me that you will be going to Yongcheng soon, so..."

Chu Haochen sneered coldly, and then asked Mo Yi if he knew what happened to Chu Jingshan?

Mo Yi picked it up and replied:

"The news from my subordinates is that the eldest lady was cheated by a man with a family, and she is now pregnant..."

Chu Haochen sneered. It was really ironic. She was protected like a treasure by her father, but she could still let something like this happen to her. She was so ignorant...

Then he said that he didn't need to worry about them and was preparing to leave Yongcheng tomorrow. He also informed the emperor's uncle about this matter.

"After we leave tomorrow, there will be some people left here in the capital to keep an eye on us. I have a feeling that things are going to change again in the capital."

Mo Yi was startled. He didn't know why his master thought so, but he must have his reasons. Then he nodded seriously.

"My subordinate understands. Master, don't worry."

Chu Haochen waved his hand and told him to go back and have a good rest, as he would continue on his way tomorrow.

At this time, Lu Mansion.

Lu Anping was still chatting with his uncle.

Both parents were trapped in Yongcheng at this time, and Liu Chenhan also received news that Yongcheng was no longer allowed to enter and exit.

Something must have happened inside!

"Epidemic! It must be an epidemic."

Lu Anping definitely said what he was thinking at this time.

Liu Chenhan's hand holding the tea cup tightened slightly, and he thought it would be a lie to say he wasn't worried. His younger sister and second brother were both in Yongcheng at this time!

"Uncle, I want to go to Yongcheng."

Liu Chenhan shook his head in disapproval and told him that he had looked for His Highness Prince Rui before he left.

After telling him about the current situation in the capital, he guessed that something would happen in the court soon.

He couldn't leave at this time.

"Since Jingyi is about to give birth, will you leave her alone if you leave?"

Lu Anping was in a dilemma at this time. He asked his uncle if he knew what was going on in the court.

Liu Chenhan pointed to the sky.

"Uncle, you mean the position of prince?"

Liu Chenhan nodded slightly, reminding him with a serious face that he would stay in the capital recently and must be alert at all times.

The nephew and uncle talked until very late before they separated.

Lu Anping looked at the night sky outside the window, feeling unable to calm down for a long time. Unfortunately, his grandfather was not here at this time.

Thinking about how he would choose to deal with this if he were his grandfather.

The next morning.

Chu Haochen left a letter for Lu Anping and took Mo Yi and others out of the capital.

It was already noon when he saw the letter.

In the letter, Chu Haochen told him to be more careful during his time in the capital, and to be careful when making arrangements in the court.

And at this time it is best to close the door and thank guests.

Lu Anping burned the letter after reading it. Thinking about King Chen's instructions, he felt relieved.

Then he called the housekeeper and told him to close the house and thank guests from today on. He said that the young lady was going to give birth and that he, the fake general, had been guarding the young lady recently...

"Yes, I understand, I will give you the instructions now."

Uncle Yu is an old man next to his grandfather, so he knows these things clearly.

After thinking about this, Lu Anping walked towards the inner courtyard. It was time to spend some time with Jingyi, letting her stay in the mansion alone and fearful.

"Why are you back? Didn't you say someone was looking for you?"

Jingyi held her pregnant belly, stood up slowly, looked at her husband who came back in front of her and asked.

Lu Anping raised a faint smile, quickly stepped forward to help her, and explained to her softly: "It was a letter sent by King Chen just now."

Jingyi was surprised that the two of them even wrote letters.

At this time, Lu Anping was heard saying that King Chen had left the capital and was looking for Qingqing and the others.

Jingyi tilted her head and frowned strangely, asking Qingqing, wouldn't they be back soon? Why is King Chen still there? Are you worried?

Lu Anping then remembered that Jingyi didn't know what happened in Xiaoyongcheng, and then said that Qingqing and the others might have come back slowly from playing on the road, so King Chen might not be worried.

Jingyi pursed her lips and smiled softly, saying that her parents and grandmother should also go out and have some fun, otherwise it would be boring to be stuck in the capital all day long!

"Why do Jingyi want to go out for fun? When you give birth to the baby, how about I take you back to Taoyuan to stay there for a while?"

Jingyi's eyes lit up, and she nodded slightly with a shy look. To be honest, she always felt that she still lived a relaxed and carefree life in Taoyuan Town.

Since arriving in the capital, she has had to deal with a lot, which makes her, who is not good at talking, very helpless.

"Okay, don't think so much. You just need to take good care of yourself now."
