The daughter of the first wife is a black lotus, reborn and remarried to kill

Jiang Huairong was sent to Beiyuan shortly after returning to the capital, and did not even have time to attend Jiang Huaijing's coronation ceremony.

"However, the envoys who came to Beiyuan to watch the ceremony said that as soon as the fifth princess arrived in Beiyuan, she was welcomed as queen by the new king of Beiyuan with great fanfare. But we don't know how she lived her life in detail," said Shen Changyun.

Li Qingqian nodded. She had thought about this when she was in Xiliang. In order to prevent the Li family from being forced into Jiang Huaijing's trap, Beiyuan was the best way to break it.

"So you want to find out the secret of the mysterious force in Beiyuan for Dawei?" When asking this question, Shen Changyun himself couldn't believe it.

The Li family has now been tricked by Jiang Huaijing into falling into a trap. If Li Qingqian is still loyal to Jiang Huaijing at this time, although he is reluctant to say so, it really seems a bit stupid.

"You're the stupid one." Li Qingqian rolled her eyes at him unceremoniously.

"When I said I wanted Beiyuan, I meant it literally," she looked at the crystal in her hand, "I'm not going just for that mysterious force in Beiyuan, I'm going for the entire Beiyuan."

Shen Changyun smiled and nodded. It seemed that the one with greater ambitions than Beiyuan was his wife.

The journey from Xiliang to Beiyuan is quite long, and Beiyuan's defenses against other countries are very strict. When we arrived at the border city of Beiyuan, autumn had already arrived in Central Plains.

Beiyuan has always been one of the coldest places among the countries, so they had already put on thick cloaks early on.

While resting at the inn that night, Li Qingqian was writing a letter to send back to the capital, while Shen Changyun was grinding beside her and staring at her belly.

After Li Qingqian finished writing the letter, she looked up and met Shen Changyun's fiery gaze, then she looked down at her slightly round belly.

"What's wrong? Haven't you accepted that you're going to be a father yet?"

Shen Changyun nodded with confused eyes, "I'm going to be a father, and we're going to have a child."

After saying that, he gently put his ear against Li Qingqian's belly and listened quietly to the movements of the fetus.

"Do you think it's a girl or a boy? Why is it so quiet? Can it hear us?"

The series of questions gave Li Qingqian a headache, and she said helplessly: "Don't worry, An Ning said that he was in good health before he returned to Beijing. Isn't it good for him to be quiet? It proves that he will be a quiet child in the future."

Shen Changyun smiled foolishly and nodded, "Yes, so that we don't have to worry about it."

"By the way, Qianqian," he took out an oil-paper bag, "I didn't expect that Beiyuan also sells your favorite chestnut cake. It got a little cold just now, so I put it in my arms and simmered it for you for a while. Try it."

Li Qingqian tasted one and said in surprise: "This tastes very similar to the ones made in the capital."

Shen Changyun smiled happily, "Qianqian, happy birthday."

Li Qingqian was stunned for a moment, then she remembered, yes, today is September 21st, her seventeenth birthday.

It turned out that Shen Changyun had been remembering it for her. She felt happy and kissed him on the face.

"By the way, in about a month, will it be your coming-of-age ceremony?"

She couldn't attend his birthday last year because they were not married yet, and they had some unpleasantness at the time.

After the Plum Blossom Feast, Li Qingqian made up her mind that she would never miss his coming-of-age ceremony again.

Shen Changyun smiled and said to her, "Okay, after we have settled the matter in Beiyuan, you must return to the capital and hold a grand ceremony for me to celebrate my coming of age. This way, everyone in the capital can see how much my wife dotes on me."

Li Qingqian was also amused by him and patted him on the shoulder, "You always talk nonsense."

After laughing and joking, Shen Changyun held her hand somewhat dejectedly, "Qianqian, you are pregnant, you should have stayed in the capital and had a lively birthday party. But now you are eating a bag of chestnut cakes in this inn in a cold and lonely manner. Following me, you have really suffered."

"Humph, you sound as if you would not have married me if you had known this," Li Qingqian said with a smile, "Yunlang, I was born on September 21st of the year, which was the time of frost. People born on the time of frost do not need much excitement. I don't need such a lively scene, I just want to do what I want."

"Today, I am very happy to have you by my side."

Tears welled up in Shen Changyun's eyes, and he hugged her into his arms, "And our child, this is the first birthday he has attended for his mother."

Li Qingqian smiled and nodded, "Yes, our family of three together is already very happy."

She looked up at him and smiled happily like a child, "I promised. Let's hurry up. When we return to the capital, I will definitely hold a grand ceremony for you and let them all watch. You will be the one I will favor for the rest of your life."

According to the calculation of the Beiyuan people, it is already winter now, but their winter is different from that of Dawei.

Although the winter in Dawei is cold and biting, the earth is covered with silver. Silvery white snowflakes are flying everywhere, making the world hazy.

The faint plum fragrance in the air gives the entire capital a sense of clear beauty that is isolated from the world and independent. People in Beijing like to hold banquets of various sizes like the Plum Blossom Seeking Banquet at this time.

In late September in Beiyuan, the lakeside had frozen over, reflecting the sky and snow-capped mountains, like a bright mirror embedded in the earth.

In about a month, the entire northern plains will be plunged into bone-chilling cold, with heavy snow often making it difficult to see the road ahead.

By then, I'm afraid that except for the people of Beiyuan, no one will be able to find a way to survive in such an icy and snowy place.

There is not much time left for them.

This is Beiyuan’s advantage. Because of this, at the end of the year, the relationship between Dawei and Beiyuan will return to the most friendly state of the year.

Of course, it's just friendly on the surface.

In such a snowy tundra, Li Qingqian's eagle had some difficulty flying, and this was when the importance of the snake was revealed.

The snake's body is not very long, but it is snow-white all over, hidden in the snow and inconspicuous.

With it exploring and leading the way, they soon arrived at the Beiyuan Royal City.

While resting at the restaurant outside the royal city, Shen Changyun suddenly thought of something, "The snow in the royal city seems to be heavier. I'm afraid your eagle can't reach the palace, and you can cooperate with Jiang Huairong from inside and outside."

Li Qingqian shook her head and wrote something on the paper. She said to Shen Changyun, "I read the letter she left in the palace when she went to Yunzhou last time, so I remember her handwriting."

Shen Changyun scanned the paper and found that it was indeed very similar to Jiang Huairong's handwriting. It was similar, but...

"Qianqian, the Fifth Princess is married into the royal family after all. As the queen, she should also have evidence similar to the Glazed Seal she had in Dawei."

Li Qingqian knew that when she was in the Li Mansion, she had a jade token to prove her identity. How could Jiang Huairong come to Beiyuan to marry without proof of identity?

"So this is what I observed along the way," she whispered to Shen Changyun, "Have you noticed that the people of Beiyuan seem to know that their king is very fond of the queen, and no one has ever refuted it?"
