The night was long, and Nanny Li ordered the maid in the yard to fetch hot water for Wei Yang and put the water into the sachet she had prepared long ago.
Wei Yang lay on the bathtub in the steaming mist, with beads of sweat on her forehead. While helping Wei Yang take a bath, Li Ma talked to her in detail.
"Madam is now well again. From my perspective, everything is fine now."
Wei Yang blushed and said "hmm" softly. She was already sixteen years old, and the New Year was coming, and she would be seventeen. Although she was petite, she was exquisite, with a slender waist that could be held in one hand, and a moderate amount of fullness, which was eye-catching.
Nanny Li looked at Weiyang's slender figure after bathing with satisfaction. This was the result of her and Nanny Sun's hard work over the past two years. Such a mature girl would have no problem consummating the marriage, let alone giving birth to children.
Wei Yang put on her bathrobe and lay on the bed. Under the guidance of Nanny Li, Xiao Cao carefully applied a special balm all over her body and massaged her slowly. This was what Nanny Li insisted on doing for Wei Yang after she bathed.
This year, she taught it to Xiaocao, and Xiaocao gave Madam massage for maintenance after each bath.
"A woman should take good care of herself. She can't ruin herself by giving birth to a few children. If she does, who can blame her husband for taking a concubine? Who doesn't like something new and beautiful? Who wants to face a sallow-faced woman all day long?"
This is what the Empress Dowager said to Weiyang in person. Weiyang still remembered that day when her elder sister held her hand and talked to her for the whole afternoon. I guess her elder sister hoped that she would not follow her old path!
When Xiaocao was sweating profusely and Weiyang fell asleep comfortably, the two of them tiptoed out of Weiyang's room.
Nanny Li patted Xiaocao's arm and said, "Xiaocao, you should also go to bed early. You have to get up early tomorrow to travel."
Xiao Cao said happily, "Yes, Madam Li, you should also go to bed early."
She knew that Nanny Li liked her, otherwise she wouldn't have let her serve the Madam. This was the same favor as the master's. Xiaocao knew her own worth, and she was very happy to be valued so much by Nanny Li.
The next day.
As daybreak approached, the general's mansion began to be brightly lit and busy, and the housekeeper in the kitchen had already prepared breakfast.
No matter how busy it was outside, Wei Yang's room was very quiet. Nanny Li specifically asked the maids to prepare everything yesterday and move it to the carriage overnight. In the morning, as soon as Wei Yang woke up and washed up, she could set off. Nanny Sun had already prepared food and drinks.
In order to let the Madam sleep a little longer, Nanny Li and Nanny Sun put in a lot of effort.
When Wei Yang woke up, it was already dawn. She had a good sleep last night after taking a bath, and she did not toss and turn. At this moment, she felt refreshed. Thinking of going to Xiongzhou to see Yan Gui, Wei Yang's heart became anxious.
It takes three days of carriage journey from Yancheng to Xiongzhou. It is already late autumn now, and the sky is clear and the weather is fresh, which is very pleasant.
Wei Yang felt that she had become attached to carriages in the past few years.
From the capital to Yanzhou, from Yancheng back to the capital, then from the capital to Liuzhou, from Liuzhou back to Yancheng, and now setting off for Xiongzhou.
Yan Gui mentioned to her that it would take less than a year to capture Xiongzhou City, and they would have to return to the capital. Yan Gui said that he was ready to hand over the military power and that he could not let the Yan family follow the old path of the Su family.
Thinking of Yan Gui saying that she wanted to have more children for the Yan family, Wei Yang's face turned red again.
She missed him very much.
