The reborn beauty is pregnant again and again

Chapter 818: The Coveted Minister's Wife 167

After all, the emperor looked so weak in front of the empress that it was difficult for him to even stand up, let alone walk. Whenever the emperor coughed, the empress would panic and either serve him tea or pat him on the back to calm him down. The prince, who was watching from the side, would smile.

On this day, Yan Jing and Wei Xin went to practice horse riding together. Rui'er was really bored, so she went to look for her mother, but she didn't find her. Instead, she saw Wei Shaoxuan lying on the bed reading memorials.

Rui'er looked very much like her mother, not very much like He Yuxiang. Wei Shaoxuan was in a very good mood after seeing this, and he called her to the bedside and combed her hair.

Because he often combed Jiang Nanqiu's hair in the past, Wei Shaoxuan's hair combing skills were very advanced. After combing a complicated bun for Rui'er, Rui'er was stunned when she looked at herself in the mirror.

"You combed your hair so well!" said Rui'er.

Wei Shaoxuan asked, "Where's your father? Doesn't he usually comb your hair?"

Rui Er said, "Dad is very busy, so usually it's mom and the maid who comb my hair."

Wei Shaoxuan looked at the face that looked like Jiang Nanqiu and said happily, "Then you might as well be my daughter. If you are my daughter, you will be a princess, but if you follow your father, you will be just a princess at best."

Rui Er didn't understand, so she asked, "What are the benefits of being your daughter, being a princess?"

Wei Shaoxuan smiled and said, "Being my princess has many benefits, especially being a legitimate princess, you will be very happy and proud. You can have whatever you want. You can have as many mansions and houses as you want. You can have as many princes-in-law as you want..."

Jiang Nanqiu was just carrying medicine in when he heard this and cursed, "What nonsense are you telling the child?"

Wei Shaoxuan replied swiftly, "Rui'er, I'm sorry, I said something wrong."

............

One day, Rui'er ran in and said, "Second brother, eldest brother wants you to play Shanshui Huaya cards together!"

Wei Xin smiled, "Okay, I'll go right away." After saying that, he looked at Jiang Nanqiu, "Mom, come and take a look too. This is something Xin'er has only learned recently. I heard that mom has already learned it a long time ago, so she can give us some pointers."

Jiang Nanqiu agreed with a smile.

The three of them came to Yan Jin's room. Seeing his mother, Yan Jin stood up and saluted, and Jiang Nanqiu asked him to stand up.

Wei Xin said with a smile, "It's rare for mother to come and watch us play, how about second brother and I make a bet."

Yan Jin asked, "What's the prize?"

Wei Xin said, "Whoever wins can make a request to the other party. How about that?"

Yan Jing asked, "What is your request?"

Wei Xin said, "My second brother plans to take mother and Rui'er back home at the end of the month, but I can't bear to leave them. If I win, I'll let them stay for another month, how about that?"

Yan Jin smiled, "Okay."

The two brothers asked their sister to shuffle the cards while Jiang Nanqiu supervised from the side.

Rui'er was very excited and carefully distributed hundreds of cards to her two brothers. Jiang Nanqiu was smiling at first, but gradually, she could no longer smile.

What on earth are these two kids doing? They are not playing, they are fighting!

Yan Jing was calm and steady, taking every step carefully, while Wei Xin took an unconventional approach and pressed forward. This was simply not the way kids like them should play!

Jiang Nanqiu sensed something was wrong and was about to ask them to stop, but Yan Jing gently placed a flower card on the flower card in Wei Xin's hand and said, "You lose."

Wei Xinzheng stared at him for a while, then his expression turned grim.

He seemed to be thinking about something. "Big brother is really amazing. I guess he has been playing for a long time, right?"

Yan Jin said, "No, I don't usually have time to play this, so I came here to relax and learn with you."

Wei Xin was finally convinced this time and laughed, "I lost. I'm not as skilled as him!"

Yan Jin said, "I'm just lucky."

Wei Xin looked at him and asked thoughtfully, "What is your request, brother?"

He had always thought that this brother was an indifferent person with nothing but a good appearance, who didn't know his plans. But now it seemed that he was just a bystander, and in fact, he knew everything.

Just like his dad.

Yan Jin said, "It's very interesting to compete with you in horseback archery. It's hard for me to meet an opponent like you in Xia Country. I don't know when we will meet next time. Let's compete as many times as possible before we leave this time."

Wei Xin pursed her lips and smiled, "Okay."

Jiang Nanqiu breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the two brothers like this.

She smiled and tried to smooth things over. "You guys are having a great time. I'm enjoying watching you. What rewards do you want? If I had any, I would definitely give them to you."

Yan Jin thought for a moment and said, "Son has everything. If you can't think of it for now, why don't you ask your mother when you think of it later?"

Jiang Nanqiu agreed readily, then looked at Wei Xin.

Wei Xin said lovingly, "Xin'er just wants to see mother more often, brother and sister, can you come to Dawei earlier next year?"

Jiang Nanqiu looked distressed and said, "Okay, I will discuss it with your uncle He. Your sister and I can talk easily, but your elder brother may not have the skills."

Wei Xin nodded dejectedly. Suddenly, he didn't know whether he was acting or really regretful.

Before leaving, Yan Jin saluted Wei Shaoxuan, but was stopped by him.

Wei Shaoxuan looked at him and said, "When you were a child, you loved to laugh and were friendly, just like your mother. I didn't expect that after not seeing you for so many years, you still look like your father."

Although the faces were not exactly alike, the cold and arrogant look was exactly like his mortal enemy, which made him somewhat unhappy.

How come such a good child grows up crooked?

Yan Jin said, "My father has mentioned to me more than once how the emperor saved my life. He has done me a great favor without asking for anything in return. He only asks that our two families establish good relations, that our alliance be solid, that we advance and retreat together, and that we enjoy eternal prosperity together."

Wei Shaoxuan was silent for a while, with a complicated expression, "Go back and say hello to your father for me."

Yan Jin respectfully agreed.

When the convoy approached the capital of Xia State, He Yuxiang had already brought people to wait far away outside the city, just to see his wife and children earlier.

When he came back here, Jiang Nanqiu was subconsciously influenced by the open and welcoming atmosphere here, and he lost all his shyness and reserve.

She jumped out of the car and ran into He Yuxiang's arms. He Yuxiang hugged her tightly and kissed her deeply.

Yan Jin in the car pulled back his sister who wanted to join in the fun and calmly closed the car door. Jiang Nanqiu and He Yuxiang lingered for a long time until they were a little out of breath, and then He Yuxiang let her go.
