Xianggui

Chapter 677 Three Happinesses Come to the Door
On the morning of the eighth day of June, the sun rises in the east, the morning glow is dazzling, and all things in the world are shrouded in the morning light.

At the main gate of Zhenhai Marquis Mansion, the masters brought Sun Yumu, who was dressed in military uniform, here.

He will enter the military camp today and go to the front line with the army tomorrow. Crown Prince Gao Guang will lead the ministers to see him off at the South City Gate.

The Grand Marshal of the Southern Expedition this time was Lord Mi. The Emperor sent him to quell the rebellion not only because he trusted him, but also because of the Crown Prince.

Sun Yumu knelt down and kowtowed to the old marquis, Marquis Sun, and Madam Sun one by one.

Mrs. Sun could no longer hold back and hugged her son and cried bitterly.

Xun Xiang stood behind Madam Sun, wiping her tears with a handkerchief.

Thousands of words had been said last night, and the gourd ginseng had been given to him...

Lord Sun said, "Madam, please stop wasting Mu'er's time."

Doctor Sun then let go.

Sun Yumu stood up and bowed deeply to the elders, then looked at Xun Xiang.

The young wife's eyes were red and swollen, and she looked at him eagerly...

The two looked at each other silently, and Sun Yumu nodded at her before he mounted his horse and rode away with a few personal soldiers.

Lord Sun said, "The third wife will accompany the eldest wife back, and Mu'er's wife will go back and rest."

The old man was afraid that Xun Xiang would be too sad and it would affect the baby in her belly.

Xun Xiang returned to Zixia Courtyard. Even though the birds were chirping outside, she still felt it was too quiet, and she couldn't adapt to the silence.

Her head felt dizzy and heavy, not only because she didn't get enough rest at night, but also because of the early pregnancy reaction.

I couldn't fall asleep even when I lay down on the bed.

Just over three months after their marriage, her husband went to the front line.

Xun Xiang had never thought that such a heart-wrenching separation would happen to her.

In ancient times, fighting was a life-or-death struggle. Sun and Mu faced not only brutal fighting, but also a harsh environment.

Thinking of that bright face and clear eyes, Xun Xiang's heart tightened.

Sun Yumu grew up in a privileged environment. If he wants to achieve success, he has to work harder than others...

There is life and death in war, even if she is "extremely strong", she is still afraid of the unexpected.

But he was a soldier, and she couldn't stop him from achieving success and growing in the war.

Fortunately, before they left, they installed a sight on the gun, which would make it more accurate to hit the target...

Xun Xiang was in a trance for a long time before she fell into a dream.

She slept until she woke up naturally. When she opened her eyes, she saw the dazzling sun shining brightly on the window screen. It must be noon.

Nanny Wei, who was guarding the bed, smiled and said, "Princess, Lord Ding and his wife are here."

Xun Xiang sat up and complained, "Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

"Master, don't let me speak. Let the princess rest more."

Xun Xiang put on her clothes and went to the living room.

Ding Zhao took a special day off today to accompany his daughter.

Zhang has been sighing these days, worried that if something happens to Sun Yumu, Xiangxiang will become a widow.

Ding Zhao couldn't say that Xiangxiang had a magic medicine, so he could only say, "My daughter is very lucky, and my son-in-law will be fine."

Zhang said, "I know Xiangxiang's fate, but I'm still worried. What if..."

The couple felt relieved when they saw that Xun Xiang looked in good spirits and had not lost weight.

Xun Xiang asked, "How is my second sister-in-law?"

Xue Tian’s due date is these days.

Zhang said, "Very good, the midwife stays at home every day. Your second brother wanted to come, but your father didn't let him."

Zhang didn't dare to say anything unpleasant in front of Xun Xiang. Her words implied that Xun Xiang's family would be prosperous and that Sun and Mu would be safe.

Ding Zhao spoke very little, just listening to the mother and daughter chatting. With Zhang's nagging and Ding Zhao's company, Xun Xiang felt better.

The couple had dinner here before returning home.

At the end of the ninth day, Xun Xiang had just gotten up from her nap when Li Maigao's family came over with a basket of red eggs.

She smiled and said, "Second Madam gave birth to a boy this morning, weighing 6.9 jin, and both mother and child are safe. Madam specifically said that the princess should just enjoy herself at home, and not rush back home today, but wait until the day after tomorrow for the third day of the lunar year celebration."

Xun Xiang really wanted to go see her nephew right now, but after listening to Zhang, she had to wait until the third day of his bath.

Ding Zhao has already said that if he has a boy, he will be named Ding Bingshen.

Xun Xiang asked, "Who does Brother Shen look like?"

The old woman laughed and said, "The young master is very handsome, more like the Second Madam, with big eyes and double eyelids. He also looks a bit like the Second Master..."

She didn't say how she looked like Ding Liren.

Xun Xiang smiled and said, "My grandfather finally has a descendant with big eyes and double eyelids. Is it the nose that looks like my second brother's?"

It is said that the gene for a bulbous nose is strong. Among the Ding clan members that Xun Xiang knows, there is not a single one who does not have a bulbous nose.

Li Maigao laughed out loud, "Oh my, yes, the only thing my brother has in common with Second Master is his nose."

Thinking of the little baby, Xun Xiang's heavy mood finally got a ray of sunshine and she became happy.

As soon as the old woman left, another old woman from the princess's mansion came to report the good news.

"My lord, the imperial physician came to check Fourth Madam's pulse today and found out that she is pregnant."

Xun Xiangxi asked happily, "Sister-in-law is pregnant?"

There are no elders or other female relatives in the princess's mansion now, so Xun Xiang, the young girl, must go back to see them.

She sent a letter to Madam Sun, and also asked someone to find some fabrics suitable for making clothes for children and a pound of official swallows to take with her.

Madam Sun asked the maid beside her to come over and said, "Madam said that the princess will take the sedan chair. It's late today, so the princess should stay at the princess's mansion for one night. Don't get tired."

This mother-in-law has always been so caring.

When Xun Xiang arrived at the princess's mansion, Madam Mi, Mi Hongmian, and Madam Xun, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, all came.

Mi Honglan sat on the kang with a red face.

When Lord Mi went to the south to quell the rebellion, the Mi family members were very nervous. But with this happy event, they were also happy.

Mrs. Mi asked, "Did someone send a letter to Her Royal Highness the Princess?"

Mi Honglan said, "I gave it to you."

Mrs. Mi smiled and said, "That's good. Knowing that you are pregnant, she can come back. Without a female elder at home, it is always uneasy."

Xun Xiang and Madam Xun looked at each other.

Based on Dongyang's personality, a prince consort is definitely more important than a grandson...

Madam Xun smiled and said, "Don't worry, Madam Mi. Yi Bo has been a calm and steady director since he was young. In some aspects, he is more thoughtful than his parents. The Xun family still has us, and we will come over from time to time..."

In the evening, after having dinner with her brother and sister-in-law, Xun Xiang returned to Ziyuan.

Xun Yibo wanted to send her off, but Xun Xiang smiled and said, "It's not like I can't find the way. You can accompany your sister-in-law."

This was the first time she lived in Ziyuan after getting married.

Ziyuan hasn't changed much, it's just become quieter.

Xun Xiang stood in the courtyard, looking at the starry sky, and thought of Xiao Bingshen, whom she had never met.

It’s really a double happiness now… no, my eldest brother is getting married in a month, so it should be a triple happiness.

In a blink of an eye, it is already the twelfth lunar month. The weather is freezing cold and water freezes into ice.

Xun Xiang's belly was already very big. These few days were her due date, and she didn't even leave the yard, and only took walks in the corridor.

At noon on the 18th, heavy snow began to fall from the sky again.

Xun Xiang was sitting on the warm kang making small clothes. Suddenly, she felt a sharp pain in her stomach.

"Ouch, my stomach hurts."
