Farewell Flower Festival

The next day, Chao Yan and Mu Tianling came to the general's mansion together. Xu Ming and Xu Hao happened to be at home on vacation. Mu Tianling asked them about the old doctor He. Xu Ming said that he lived in the mansion, and asked the housekeeper to invite him over. When the housekeeper came back, he said that he had gone out.

When Chao Yan went to visit Xu Ru, she saw her studying a medical book, so she followed her and took a look. She also asked about the old doctor He. Xu Ru said that this medical book was written by Old He, and she recounted her experience of saving Old He in Jiangzhou.

Chaoyan remembered that her brother met a chivalrous girl who came to his aid when he went to Jiangzhou to do some shopping. She tentatively asked Xuru if she had ever saved a young man who was being robbed by bandits in Jiangzhou before. Xuru nodded, but seemed a little surprised, wondering where Chaoyan had heard about it from.

Chaoyan is now 100% sure who the chivalrous girl her brother is obsessed with. She says that her brother will be back soon, and they haven't met yet, so they can have a meal together to get to know each other.

Xu Ru agreed.

On the way back in the carriage, Mu Tianling saw Chaoyan with a happy face and asked her what good news was. Chaoyan said that if it is destined, they will meet each other even if they are thousands of miles apart. She also said that when she looked back, the person was standing in the dim lights. Mu Tianling smiled and asked her who she was going to meet. Chaoyan leaned close to his ear and whispered something. Mu Tianling said that if this marriage was successful, both of them should thank her as the matchmaker.

It was getting dark and He Lao had not returned yet. Xu Ru was worried that something had happened and prepared to take people out to look for him. As soon as she arrived at the gate, she ran into a man. He was a waiter from the restaurant. The person who asked him to deliver a message was an old man, and Xu Ru knew it was He Lao.

"The old man said he was going to visit an old friend and would not be returning to the mansion for the next few days."

Xu Ru asked the waiter if Mr. He had mentioned any old friends he was going to visit, and the waiter shook his head and left. Xu Ru pondered for a while, thinking that Mr. He had worked in the Imperial Hospital before, and he must have one or two good friends in the capital, so it was reasonable for him to visit them now that he was back, so she didn't think much about it.

After the war in the north subsided, Mu Tianyuan ordered the army to return to the capital.

The New Year is coming soon, and there is joy and excitement both inside and outside the palace.

The battle in the north was won, the bandit leader was captured alive, and the rumors gradually subsided.

Mu Tianyuan felt so happy that he went to talk to Liu Sui every day. Liu Sui used to praise him at first, but later, after hearing so much praise from him, her ears were almost callused, so she gave him an important task, which was to name the child.

So from then on, Mu Tianyuan would come up with four, five or six names every day and discuss with Liu Sui which one sounded better and which one had a better meaning.

Watching Liu Sui's belly growing bigger day by day, Mu Tianyuan felt as sweet as eating honey every day.

There was also a happy event in Prince Ling's mansion.

This morning when Chaoyan was having breakfast, she smelled the meat filling in the buns. She felt that the smell was particularly greasy today, making her feel like vomiting. At first she thought she had stomach discomfort. Mu Tianling also thought she was not feeling well and was going to ask someone to find a doctor to check her out. Chaoyan said she was fine and there was no need to call a doctor.

Mu Tianling was still worried and wanted to ask the doctor to come and take a look. Chaoyan couldn't persuade him, so she didn't express her opinion.

After Eunuch Wu brought the doctor over, he looked at Chao Yan's appearance carefully and saw something, and the smile on his face deepened.

When the doctor felt Chaoyan's pulse, she and Mu Tianling were a little nervous, afraid that they might find out some kind of illness. After the doctor carefully felt her pulse, before he spoke, Mu Tianling asked about the situation. The doctor congratulated him and said that the princess was pregnant. Mu Tianling was stunned when he heard this, and then he was overjoyed, with a smile on his face.

Chaoyan was also stunned when she heard this, and she was still stunned for a while, her brain couldn't process such a huge thing for a while.

Eunuch Wu, along with Jadeite and Amber, congratulated in unison.

Qianfeng and Feiyu, who were guarding outside the door, heard the congratulations and came in to congratulate.

After Eunuch Wu sent the doctor away, Chaoyan was still a little dazed.

Then, Feicui, Amber, Qianfeng and Feiyu all took their leave.

When there were only two people left in the room, Mu Tianling gently picked up Chao Yan and held her in his arms, being very careful not to bump into her. The smile on his face had never been so bright. He just looked at her and smiled, without time to say anything.

The next moment, Chaoyan's eyes became watery, as if she was frightened.

Mu Tianling was at a loss as to what to do and could not even speak, so he tried to comfort her with clumsy words.

Chaoyan hugged him and lay on his shoulder saying she was scared. Mu Tianling didn't know what he was thinking, his brows were frowned. Finally, as if he had made up his mind, he said that if she was scared. But before he could finish the second half of the sentence, Chaoyan covered her mouth. She shook her head. Mu Tianling apologized to her softly. She pecked him on the face lightly and then set two rules for him.

"If I act unreasonably in the future, Your Highness will have to accommodate me and coax me."

"Good~"

"You are not allowed to secretly look for other girls."

"I only have Yanyan, and that's enough~"

……

The next day, Mu Tianling asked Qianfeng to go to the bookstore to buy all the new storybooks. Whatever Chaoyan wanted to eat, he would immediately ask someone to buy it for her. When Chaoyan was in a bad mood, he would immediately coax her. He really had no temper in front of her. He would smile foolishly every day just by looking at her belly. His greatest pleasure every day was to think of names for his children. He thought of a lot of names for boys and girls, but he felt that none of them were good enough, so he would look through books and classics and think of a lot of names again.

That day, after Mu Tianling came back from the Jiuxingsi, Chaoyan shared a good news with him. Shang Jia's sister gave birth to a big fat boy this morning. She excitedly said that the child would definitely be a gentle and modest gentleman like his father when he grows up.

Hearing Chao Yan talking about Wen Yunlan, Mu Tianling felt a little jealous, but he didn't want to spoil her fun, so he agreed with her.

Chaoyan also talked about how she met Wen Yunlan again when she went to the Duke of Qing's mansion for a banquet a few days ago. He was more dignified than when he was studying in the academy, and he looked like a painting wherever he stood.

Mu Tianling was almost unable to listen any more, and when he heard her sigh that people are getting more and more attractive as they grow older, he asked her if she had any improper thoughts about him. This question made Chao Yan start to dig up old memories. She talked about how at Prime Minister Shang’s birthday, he watched Shang’s sister play the piano with his eyes almost popped out. He suddenly became sad and said that he must feel that he is not as pretty as Shang’s sister. The next moment, he got angry again, hitting and pushing him, and told him to find someone prettier than himself.

Mu Tianling didn't know whether to laugh or cry, knowing that she was being "unreasonable" again. He held her in his arms and coaxed her softly for a long time before she calmed down.

Liu Sui asked Luzhu to send a gold necklace to the Duke's Mansion for congratulations, and Chaoyan also asked Feicui to send a gift. In addition, the Ruiwang Mansion and the Anwang Mansion also sent gifts.

Mu Tianyuan specially allowed Wen Yunlan to take leave so that he could stay at home and spend time with the mother and son.
