Wei Ni

Wang Yuanji is already two months pregnant.

Counting the time, I was conceived at the beginning of the year. But there was no one at home, and she didn't understand it very well. She thought that her recent sleepiness and loss of appetite were due to the change of seasons, so no one came to see her.

When Xia Houhui returned from the military camp, he learned that she was not feeling well, so he quickly asked a doctor to check her pulse.

As soon as the good news came out, the whole family rejoiced.

Not only because Wang Yuanji was very generous to her servants, but also because Xia Houhui was so happy that she waved her hand and asked Sun Lou to give rewards to everyone.

It’s not much, only ten yuan per person, but at the beginning of the year, Xia Houhui’s promotion and today, this is the third time he’s been paid~
Ding Mi is more steady.

When congratulating Xiahou Hui, he also proposed to take his wife and children who lived in Shiquan Pine Forest to live in the Bochang Tinghou Mansion the next day, so that they could take care of and teach Wang Yuanji about raising a baby.

It also made Xia Houhui wake up from his joy.

In these days, giving birth to a child is a life-and-death hurdle for a woman, and the infant mortality rate is very high.

Just look at Emperor Cao Rui and you will know.

Even the prince, who was always under the care of the imperial physician, could not escape the disaster, let alone other families.

Immediately, he found Sun Lou, the steward, and muttered many instructions.

For example, he was asked to send people back to Yangquwu Fort the next day to find two or three experienced women with many children to take care of Wang Yuanji; for example, he was asked to ask doctors to come over every ten days to check her pulse; and to pay attention to diet and so on.

Sun Lou became so nervous that he didn't dare to express his anger, for fear that he would miss something.

There is no way, Xia Houhui, who is excited and nervous, sometimes repeats his instructions and sometimes reverses his words, which vividly reflects the attitude of being a father.

On the contrary, the person involved, Wang Yuanji, seemed more calm.

At this time, there was a faint smile on her face, with a hint of unbelievable surprise, and she felt warm when she saw Xia Houhui's anxious expression, which was different from usual.

"Husband, please don't embarrass your grandson."

First, she signaled Sun Lou to leave, and then she whispered softly, "Aren't you going to celebrate my father's birthday the next day? I'll just ask my mother then."

The grandmother she was talking about was Wang Su's second wife, Xiahou. She also had children after marrying into the Wang family. It was the best place to ask her about how to raise a baby and other matters.

"Ah, how could I forget my maternal aunt (mother-in-law)?"

Xia Houhui patted his forehead with some annoyance. He asked Sun Lou to go about his business. He came over and sat down next to Wang Yuanji. "In this case, I will follow Xijun's words and go to the house to ask the next day. However, Xijun is pregnant. Can you still ride the bumpy carriage? If not, can I go there by myself the next day?”

"Well, my husband, what you said is inappropriate."

Turning slightly sideways and resting her head on Xia Houhui's shoulder, Wang Yuanji replied in a lazy voice, "I don't live over there in the Shiquan Pine Forest now. How can I not go to my father's birthday party? Let the carriage drive slower the next day. It won’t be bumpy anymore.”

"That's fine."

In response, Xia Houhui put his chin on her bun, leaning against each other quietly, feeling the joy of becoming parents.

Just a moment later, Wang Yuanji raised her head and said suddenly, "Husband, I am pregnant now. What I mentioned before should be the time, right?"

In response, Xia Houhui raised his eyebrows slightly and did not answer immediately.

The thing she was talking about was concubinage.

Strictly speaking, it doesn't count as acceptance.

Because this "concubine" is the little maid she came to marry.

According to the current fashion, as long as a maidservant reaches the age of hairpin, her status will automatically change to a concubine. Now, her dowry girl has long been married, but because Xia Houhui has been away at home and away from home, the matter has been delayed.

"Later."

After hesitating for a moment, Xia Houhui shook his head and explained, "Xijun, I have been busy with military affairs recently, and it should be soon."

At this point he stopped talking.

But Wang Yuanji already knew what it meant.

She no longer insisted and just rested her head on his shoulder again, "When will your husband go out? How long will it take to come back?" After that, without waiting for Xia Houhui to answer, he quickly added, "Well, If it’s not convenient for your husband to say it, then don’t say it and just pretend I didn’t ask.”

"Hey, there's nothing bad to say, and Xi-kun won't tell others."

He hugged her tighter, Xia Houhui sniffed her hair, and said vaguely, "It should be more than a month later when we leave Luoyang. But after the turn of summer and autumn, we have to go to work far away. As for when we will return, Approximately one year old, at most one and a half years old.”

"Well, I understand. Men should take care of themselves outside and don't worry about home."

"it is good."

"Also, my husband is already a protective general. Don't go into battle personally and let others laugh at you for not being a general."

"it is good."

"Well, when the time comes, I'll go back to Shiquan Pine Forest to live there. It'll be quieter there and I'll have peace of mind there."

"it is good."

Nonchalantly, Wang Yuanji warned Xia Houhui in advance that he would go out on an expedition.

Just as she was talking, she raised her head again and said with some expectation, "By the way, husband! If not, why don't you give the child a name first?"

Come up with a name first?
Xia Houhui suddenly felt like he could never come back.
However, he also knew that after calculating the time, he would not be able to make it back when the child was born, so he also said with a smile, "I don't even know if it is a son or a daughter. I will take care of it by myself by then. In terms of literary talent, Mr. Xi makes me feel inferior."

"Hee hee~"

It also made Wang Yuanji chuckle, "Nonsense! I can't compose "A Fang Gong Fu"."

But he didn't refuse, and when he came over again, he whispered, "If it's a girl, I'll make the decision myself; if it's a son, I'll let Uncle Sun Xun make the decision."

Hey~
Xia Houhui couldn't help but sigh, and his heart instantly became warm.

She didn't know that Xia Houhui was expelled from the Anning Tinghou Mansion because her elder brother Xia Houheng was pretending to show it to outsiders, so she wanted Xia Houheng to name the child in her belly to ease the relationship between the Xiahou brothers. Especially since she also knew that Xia Houheng treated Xia Houhui as an elder brother and as a father.

"Husband, do you think this is inappropriate?"

"Nothing. You thought carefully, but I was negligent."

"Hmm~"

Two days later, the generals and assistants at all levels of the defense department were officially appointed.

Xia Houhui recommended Fu Gu to serve as a lieutenant. Unsurprisingly, he was approved, and the next day he would come to take office together with Chen Qian, who was awarded the post of Sima.

Similarly, Zheng Liu and Qian Yi, the two fake 500-man governors of Zhenyue Camp, were also asked to leave the camp as soon as possible.

Qian Yi didn't do anything, and left the camp directly after the handover was completed.

But before Zheng Liu left, he also looked for Wei Shu, saying that he had something to tell Xia Houhui. If Wei Shu was willing to tell him, he could go find him outside the camp in a while. He was at the crooked-neck tree two miles outside the camp. Waiting. (End of chapter)
