"Princess, I know you like these toys very much, but there is no need to bring them all into the palace."

Seeing Yongle busy working here with a pregnant belly, there was a circle of frightened palace maids surrounding him, afraid that the princess would bump into him.

To be honest, Yongle has not become quieter and gentler at all since she was diagnosed with pregnancy, nor has she been enveloped in the so-called awakened motherhood and turned into a real noble daughter according to Grandma Sun's expectations.

After having the child, Yongle's temperament remained unchanged. If several old doctors hadn't sworn that she was really pregnant, Lu Hanjiang would have thought that this girl just stuffed a pillow into her belly.

"These, these, and those, I will take them all away."

Yongle ordered several palace maids to start working. It seemed that she finally realized that she had a double body and could no longer move around like ordinary girls.

Thanks to the conflict with the Forbidden Army, Lu Hanjiang finally had some free time to rest. As soon as he returned home, he saw Yongle who had almost emptied his boudoir.

"Husband-in-law, you're back so early?" Yongle ran over to Lu Hanjiang with some surprise. The latter looked at Lu Hanjiang's small round belly swaying up and down with twitching eyes. It seems that this child will also be very lucky in the future. .

"Princess, please wait."

Lu Hanjiang gently caught Yongle, and then said with a smile: "I knew someone from the palace had come to tell the princess to enter the palace today, so I rushed back from the Yamen to see her off."

This was a lie. As soon as the eunuch delivering the order in the palace left, Lu Hanjiang arrived on the back. Naturally, it was not because he had received any news in advance due to his extraordinary powers, but because he happened to be lazy and left his post early, and then they bumped into him.

But the truth always makes things worse. After hearing this white lie, a happy smile immediately appeared on Yongle’s face.

The little princess who used to be very shy in front of outsiders is now able to naturally rest her head on the chest of her sweetheart regardless of other people's gaze. This is probably the change brought about by the child.

"I won't see the princess in these few months. The princess must take care of herself." Lu Hanjiang touched the other party's head and said warmly.

The little princess first smiled and rolled her eyes, then raised her head and said in surprise: "Why? The imperial city is so big that it is inconvenient for the consort in the inner palace to enter, so why don't I just come out?"

"Yeah, that's right." Lu Hanjiang pinched his eyebrows, he seemed to take it for granted.

The little princess stared at Lu Hanjiang with some suspicion, and said quietly: "The prince-in-law seems a little disappointed. Are you happier now that you can't see me?"

This was obviously a gift. Lu Hanjiang blinked away his excess emotions and said with a smile: "How could the princess think like this? Of course I will miss the princess. I just couldn't get over it for a while."

"Is that so?" the little princess muttered doubtfully. Yongle seemed to be smarter after becoming pregnant, and it was not as easy to fool him as before.

After this trivial matter was fooled by Lu Hanjiang, Yongle continued to order the palace servants to start packing. After packing four carriages and horses, she reluctantly nodded.

Lu Hanjiang was also quite speechless. He knew he was going to raise a baby, but he thought the princess was going out for fun again. Fortunately, the imperial concubine's palace was big enough to accommodate all these messy things.

"Consort, I'm entering the palace, please remember to take care of yourself."

In front of the palace, the princess said goodbye to Lu Hanjiang with a smile, and did not show much sadness about being separated. Probably in Yongle's view, entering the palace to raise a child was just a change of place to live, and it made no difference to her. .Lu Hanjiang smiled and watched as the other party's carriage headed towards the imperial city, while Lao Qian stood behind him and watched with gazing.

"Master, won't you send His Highness back in person?" Lao Qian asked in a low voice, looking at the carriage that gradually disappeared into the crowd of people on the street.

"We live at the foot of the Imperial City. Princess will be home as soon as she turns around. Are you still worried about what could go wrong?" Lu Hanjiang shrugged, turned around and headed back home.

"What I mean is" Lao Qian hesitated, and finally shook his head and chose not to say anything.

After bidding farewell to the princess, the master and servant returned to the house. On the way, Lu Hanjiang said, "I won't be going to the Yamen for the next few days. Old Qian, please prepare a gift for me, as long as it's decent."

Lao Qian nodded: "This is a simple matter. I can arrange it in a moment. I wonder which house I want to visit?"

"It's not a visit, it's an apology." Lu Hanjiang stopped, looked back at the sky, and then said slowly: "This gift will eventually be delivered to Commander Wen's house."

Lao Qian was a little surprised and said: "Didn't the master just have a quarrel with the commander-in-chief, and they will be reconciled so soon?"

As Lu Hanjiang's housekeeper, Lao Qian naturally knew what his master was doing recently. Even if the other party didn't deliberately reveal it, Lao Qian could make a guess based on the rumors in Beijing.

Since the Forbidden Army has taken the bait, why cut off the rope so quickly and come to apologize? Wouldn't it be a waste of such a great opportunity?

Lu Hanjiang sighed: "The method is a good one, but it's a pity that the effect will not last long. My uncle reminded me today. Your Majesty will not see us messing around like this. Just wait and see, I guess His Majesty and Xini's will will come soon."

Lao Qian thought for a while, then said nothing, shook his head and went to prepare the gift.

On the other side, although the battle with the Forbidden Army came to an inexplicable end due to the emperor's intervention, it still had an impact.

At least in a short period of time, all forces have realized that Commander Lu is indeed brave enough, so no one will easily win over him, and there are even fewer people who take the initiative to show their courtesy.

And another thing is that the academy, which had been neutral until now, suddenly showed signs of turning towards Jin Yiwei.

Although some people had already seen this possibility when Lu Hanjiang became a disciple of Luo Yuanjing, everyone suddenly realized this when Qi Yunzhou, the vice president of the academy, really started to frequent the Lu Mansion.

It's just that Qi Yunzhou, as the person involved, doesn't think so, although this is indeed an illusion he deliberately created for outsiders. He and Lu Hanjiang can only use each other for now.

Qi Yunzhou used the power of Jinyiwei to make those who had thoughts about the academy retreat, while Lu Hanjiang used Qi Yunzhou's reputation to mislead outsiders into thinking that the academy had surrendered.

Although Qi Yunzhou knew everything whenever Lu Hanjiang opened his mouth, he still did not put all his chips in one boat.

At the very least, Qi Yunzhou never plans to make a full bet until the last minute. He is quite cautious. Even if Jin Yiwei's chance of winning has reached [-]%, as long as the slim possibility still exists, he will always maintain swing.
