Chapter 47 A Little Goodbye Is Better than a New Marriage

After returning home, Yinzhen took a bath, changed his clothes, and washed away the dust from the journey.

After changing into loose casual clothes, he went to see the eldest princess and the third prince at Mrs. Li's place, and then rushed to the main courtyard without stopping.

Li tried her best but failed to keep Yinzhen, she even pinched Hongyun secretly.

Hongyun had been raised very carefully since he was a child and had never been pinched like this before, so he started crying all of a sudden.

Yinzhen tried to coax him for a long time but to no avail, so he handed it to Li: "Boys can't be so delicate, they need to be beaten and beaten to stay healthy."

Li was speechless. Hongyun knew who was pinching him, and he cried even harder when he returned to Li's arms.

Yinzhen got a headache from the noise, and seeing this, the eldest princess plucked up the courage to reach out her hand and gently tweak Yinzhen.

It was rare for his daughter to be so close to him, so Yinzhen endured the evil voice of his youngest son and asked: "How is the eldest princess these days?"

"Father, I'm still studying the six arts with you, but I miss you so much that I can't see you." The eldest princess took out a purse from her bosom a little embarrassedly. The purse was made of plain material, with only a straight bamboo showing in the rightmost corner.

"My daughter has recently started learning women's craftsmanship. This is the work that the teacher said is acceptable. I...I want to give it to Ama."

Yinzhen was pleased to see that although the eldest princess could not hide her shyness, she was generally graceful and generous. He took the purse, looked at it, and held back his smile.

In the past, anyone who dared to bring something with stitches like this would be dragged out and beaten with a stick.

But if it is done by my own daughter, that is a different standard to judge.

Look how well the fabric is chosen, and how straight the bamboo is.

"The eldest princess has achieved something after only a few days of study. It is obvious that she has talent. Father likes her very much." After saying this, Yinzhen put the purse in his arms. Although she could not wear it out yet, he would treasure his daughter's kindness.

"Well, when my skills improve, I will embroider a screen for father." The eldest princess was very happy to be praised.

Yinzhen reached out and touched the child's hair, sighing that she had grown into a big girl in the blink of an eye.

"Take good care of yourself and your brother. I will come to see you another day." Seeing that his youngest son was still full of energy and had a rosy face after crying for such a long time, Yinzhen knew that he was in good health. Without waiting for him to stop, he turned around and left.

Li saw Yinzhen off and turned back to slap the table: "After studying with the teacher for so long, I have learned some tricks to win favor!"

The eldest princess changed from her earlier lively self and sat there drinking tea in a daze.

Seeing that the eldest princess didn't say anything, Li became even more angry: "I know how to embroider a purse for your father, but I, your mother, don't deserve one?"

Li felt a little sad when she said this. This daughter has never been on the same page with her since she was young, and now she doesn't even care about her wallet. How can she be a support in the future?
"Mother, since you don't cherish it, why should I waste my time on it?" The eldest princess asked back.

"You..." Mrs. Li didn't expect her daughter to talk back to her. She pointed at her and couldn't say anything for a long time.

The eldest princess stood up and saluted: "Mother, you should comfort your third brother. He has been crying for so long. Is he feeling unwell?"

"Please be gentler next time. Third brother is delicate and might still hold a grudge." After saying this, the eldest princess lifted the curtain and left.

Li waved her sleeves and smashed the teacup to the ground. "Mammy, look at this. I have given birth to an enemy. What kind of fate do I have? My daughter is disobedient and my son is stupid. He is not like the little brat in the main courtyard who is so likable at such a young age."

Even Li had to admit that Honghui was a very likable child, and she loved him just by looking at him.

All Nanny Jin could do was try her best to comfort her.

Lying on the rocking chair in the main courtyard, Yinzhen breathed a sigh of relief.

He used his hands to carefully measure the size of Yihuan's belly: "It seems to be a little bigger than before." Yinzhen didn't quite remember what happened during Fu Jin's first pregnancy. At that time, their relationship was ordinary. Fu Jin always looked like she didn't want to get close to strangers, and she always talked about rules. He didn't want to come either, but he often sent people to inquire.

This was the first time he looked forward to the arrival of a child so seriously.

Seeing Honghui carrying a book over, Yinzhen was a little confused.

Yihuan looked hopeless: "Now it's time for Honghui's brother's lecture, I'll come and listen."

So, the couple snuggled up to each other quietly, listening to Honghui's explanation word by word.

Gradually, Yinzhen became distracted. The scene before him was the daily life he imagined when he was on the front line of disaster relief. It was so real and yet so dreamy.

He wanted to thank Mrs. Fujin. No matter how harsh the outside world was, as long as he returned to the main courtyard, there would always be peace and tranquility, which would calm his restless heart.

Half an hour passed quickly, and Yinzhen also noticed the extraordinary book in Honghui's hand. He glanced at Yihuan, and Yihuan shook her head, meaning that he wanted to talk to her privately later.

Honghui talked for half an hour and felt a little thirsty. He poured himself some honey water and drank half a cup, then stood obediently in front of Yinzhen.

Now it was Yinzhen's turn to test his homework. Fortunately, Yinzhen was not interested in this today and just asked a few unfamiliar questions, but they were all within Honghui's range.

In this way, when it was late at night and Honghui went back to sleep, the couple could have a few private words.

"Master, there is good news in the mansion. I just found out about it. I didn't write it in the letter because I thought you would be back today." Yihuan cheered up and reported the important matters first.

"Who's pregnant?" Upon hearing this, Yinzhen immediately thought of the monk and the Taoist priest, the two, Sleeping Dragon and Phoenix Chick.

Yihuan was somewhat surprised at how well-informed he was: "Niu Hulu clan."

This was exactly the same as Yinzhen's guess. After all, there were only these few people in the mansion, and Geng had always been quiet and did her duty. It was most likely that the Nianhulu family was causing trouble.

"Has she been acting abnormal recently?"

"Master, there is something strange about what you said. Sister Niu Hulu first came to ask me to see her mother, and then a few days later she came back to report that she was pregnant." Yihua rubbed her eyebrows, "I later thought that she must have been pregnant before she met her mother."

"That's it." Yinzhen nodded. Seeing Yihuan's tired face, he said calmly, "You are pregnant now, you can't work too hard. Why think about these things? It's late today, let's go to bed."

After all, they had been away for so long that Yinzhen was a little excited when he hugged Yihuan at night, and his breathing became much faster.

The two were very close to each other, and Yihuan could personally feel Yinzhen's intentions.

After thinking for a while, Yihuan turned over and faced Yinzhen. They were so close that they could hear each other's breathing.

"Master, how about I help you?" Yihuan's voice was as weak as a mosquito, and her ears turned red as soon as she finished speaking.

Yinzhen looked dangerously at him and said, "Fujin, what are you talking about?"

Yihuan's courage suddenly disappeared, and she wanted to turn over and say, "Nothing."

Yinzhen smiled and said, "Fujin is indeed very knowledgeable. I want to see how you plan to help me, huh?"

Yihuan's body felt a little weak due to Yinzhen's voice. Her body was already sensitive during pregnancy, and now she felt that the part of her body that was touching Yinzhen was incredibly hot, and she couldn't tell whose body temperature was elevated.

Yinzhen's somewhat dry big hand held Yihuan's palm. Both of them were sweating slightly, and the corners of their mouths had turned negative. Under the cover of the brocade quilt, Yihuan's hand touched a hard object.

What a joyful night of spring.
