The Adventures of the Crying Princess

It was already deep winter, and Bai Yimeng was becoming more and more afraid of the cold. Before the first snow fell, a charcoal basin was already placed in the room.

She still felt it was not warm enough, so she hid in Yuwen Ji's arms and warmed herself by the fire. The two of them shared a cloak, which seemed a little funny to outsiders.

"Kid, are you still sleepy lately?"

Bai Yimeng didn't want to answer this question. She counted on her fingers and estimated that it was almost three months. They said that you can't say anything before three months. This is the first child, so she dare not do anything rash.

He glanced at Yuwen Ji and shook his head, "If you stop tormenting me, I'll be fine."

"I guess you're still weak. I see you don't like to eat recently. This won't do. Your eldest brother complained to me yesterday, saying that I didn't take good care of you."

"Just reply to him next time. I'm not a pig. Why should I be so fat?" Bai Yimeng kissed his chin.

"Your Highness, Eunuch Chen invites you and the princess to enter the palace." The voice of a servant came from outside the door.

Yuwen Ji opened the door and saw that it was already dark. "Did you hear me right? The princess is going too? How could father bear to let her go so late at night?"

"Yes." The servant stood there with his hands hanging down.

Turning his head to look at Bai Yimeng, Yuwen Ji felt really distressed when he saw her lazy look. "Why don't you not go? I'll tell my father that you're sick."

"It's not easy to bully the emperor. My father asked me to go at this hour. There must be something wrong. I'll change and leave soon." Bai Yimeng forced himself to stand up, but his body was so weak that he didn't have any strength at all.

Yi Tong smiled and shook her head, "Princess, you should call yourself a concubine. It's okay in the mansion, but you will be laughed at if you go out."

"Okay, she's not used to it yet, but she'll be fine after a while." Yuwen Ji walked in, picked her up and walked out, "It's fine like this, father has seen you at your shabbiest. It's okay."

The two found out only after they entered the palace.

Along the way, Yuwen Ji was in a state of confusion.

He knew that the reason why his father urgently summoned him in the middle of the night must be because of unrest on the border. A few days ago, Bai Yinan presented a military report in the court. It was sent by Lu to the people of Yue. Judging from the degree of ambiguity between the two countries, it is estimated that there will be some action.

Yuwen Ji's mind was full of military reports, and he didn't even notice that Bai Yimeng had fallen asleep.

When they arrived at the palace gate, Yuwen Ji discovered her. He took off his cloak, wrapped her up and carried her out. Seeing this, Eunuch Chen hurriedly asked, "Princess, are you sick?"

"Thank you for your concern, eunuch. I'm fine, I just didn't sleep well last night." Bai Yimeng yawned and pinched Yuwen Ji secretly, signaling him to cooperate.

Eunuch Chen covered his mouth and laughed secretly, "The prince and princess have a good relationship, but you should also take care of your health."

Yuwen Ji secretly groaned. Wait, how would he explain to his three uncles when he met them later?

When they arrived at the imperial study, Yuwen Ji put the man down and asked, "Are you okay? Can you walk by yourself?"

"I'm fine, don't worry." Bai Yimeng had just secretly adjusted his breathing for a while and now he felt a little more energetic.

The two entered the imperial study, and as expected, the three brothers of the Bai family were also there.

After paying respects, Emperor Chengde waved his hand and said, "Come here, you naughty boy. I heard from your elder brother that you are ill. What happened? Doesn't Doctor Guo live in the palace? Besides, you are a doctor yourself. How did you make yourself look like this?"

"Father, my daughter-in-law is fine. She has been much better in the past few days." Bai Yimeng tried hard to make herself look energetic.

Emperor Chengde touched her head and said, "It's not hot. Do you still have an appetite?"

"Have an appetite! Your daughter-in-law eats a lot. Father, your daughter-in-law can now eat such a big bowl in one meal." Bai Yimeng knew what Emperor Chengde meant.

If the woman is sleepy, has no appetite, or vomits, the next step is to call a doctor to see if she is pregnant.

"So what do you like to eat recently?" Emperor Chengde continued to test with joy in his eyes.

"Rice! I love to eat anything that is rice."

Bai Yimeng also understood this. The old emperor wanted to see if her taste had changed. It was a naked test.

Bai Yinan coughed and tried to get to the point, "Your Majesty, the two countries of Lu and Yue have joined forces, please make plans early."

Emperor Chengde nodded slightly, put away his smile, and waved his hand to signal Bai Yimeng to step aside. "Then General Bai will be in charge, and Generals Bai Yiyang and Bai Yisong will be the vanguards. They will lead the troops to quell the rebellion and set off today."

Yuwen Ji looked at Bai Yimeng and knelt down, "Father, I, your son, ask to fight! I am willing to follow General Bai."

Emperor Chengde rubbed his jade ring and closed his eyes slightly. Although there were many military generals in the court in recent years, only a few could take on important responsibilities.

In addition, the King of Qi and the King of Ying had two rebellions, which resulted in serious losses of generals. Perhaps this was the reason why Lu and Yue joined forces.

"You just got married, I can't ask you to leave." The old emperor looked at Bai Yimeng.

"Father, your Majesty, your daughter-in-law is willing to follow His Majesty's lead." Bai Yimeng knelt down and asked for permission.

She knew that this matter was of great importance. Daxing had the most military commanders in recent years, but few could match him. Moreover, the old emperor clearly intended for her to participate, otherwise he would not have called her in the middle of the night.

"Okay!" Emperor Chengde seemed to be waiting for Bai Yimeng to say this. He smiled and helped her up, "You all get up too. This is settled. Prince Yi and Princess Yi will be deputy generals."

After leaving the imperial study, Bai Yinan held his sister, "Little sister, are you sure you can't do this? I heard that you seemed to be unable to wake up a few days ago. If your old injury has recurred, don't hide it from your brothers."

Bai Yimeng liked her elder brother's straight male attributes. He didn't even know the reaction of pregnancy, which made it difficult for her sister-in-law. Thinking of this, she secretly sighed that her elder brother could find a wife, all thanks to the blessing of the ancestors of the Bai family.

"Brother, my injury has healed a long time ago, otherwise Master wouldn't have let me go. I was exhausted from busying myself with the wedding, but now I've recovered and there's no problem." Bai Yimeng patted his chest.

"That's good."

Yuwen Ji didn't say anything. He didn't know what his young wife was thinking. He was afraid that if he exposed her, she would cry and it would be difficult to comfort her.

When they returned to the palace, Yuwen Ji took people back to the room and asked, "You are obviously not in good health, why did you lie and go to the battlefield with me?"

"Don't you see? Father went through so much trouble just to get me to go. I won't go to court, but I'm not stupid. The Prince of Qi's collusion with the enemy implicated many generals, and the Prince of Ying's rebellion not only implicated a large number of generals, but also killed many in battle.

Now the country is in trouble. As the master of Wan'an Valley and the princess of Prince Yi, how could I not go? "Bai Yimeng gently touched her belly and muttered silently: "Child, we are a family, we advance and retreat together."

"Kid, what are you mumbling about?" Yuwen Ji came over.

Bai Yimeng blinked and shook his head quickly, "I'm saying that fighting in winter is good for us.

You see, the areas of Lu and Yue are located in the south, where it is warm all year round. They cannot adapt to the severe cold. Their invasion is tantamount to seeking death."

"That makes sense. Children are smarter than you." Yuwen Ji knew that Bai Yimeng was not talking about this, but he just didn't want to force her. He held her in his arms and kissed her, "Let's have a baby."

"The war is coming, I can't get pregnant." Thinking of this, Bai Yimeng's heart sank a little more. It seems that the pregnancy must be kept secret.

Yuwen Ji held her, lying on his back on the bed, looking at the bed board, "It would be great if there were no war. Child, I always feel that you have been worried recently.

If you have any problem, you can tell me. Even if I can’t help you, I can help you share your worries.”

"I was thinking, what is the possibility of my master and aunt getting together?"

Knowing that she was deliberately changing the subject, Yuwen Ji pinched her cheek and pretended to believe it. He really couldn't bear to force her, "So you are worried about this matter, then don't think about it, it's impossible. You'd better not let them meet. If the emperor knows, he might reward you with a few feet.

You don't know, this matter caused a big stir back then. My aunt was the emperor's most beloved daughter and was treated like a treasure.

After this incident, my aunt was almost beaten to death by the Emperor. If my father hadn't pleaded for my aunt, I'm afraid she would have died long ago.

You must not get involved in this matter, it is really not a trivial matter."

Bai Yimeng responded casually, and his thoughts flew elsewhere.
