Although he knew that this woman was just trying to coax him, Ning Chen's heart softened when he saw her beautiful smile and her bulging pregnant belly.
I couldn't help but slightly curl the corners of my lips.
"Your Majesty, please eat more food. I still think you look more handsome when you smile." Ye Jun raised her eyebrows and picked up the chopsticks to pick up some food for Ning Chen.
At last, she added, "Your Majesty is so handsome, the baby in my belly must look like you."
Ning Chen looked at her helplessly, "Why, aren't you pretty? It would be nice if the child looks like you."
"No, no, no." Ye Jun shook his head seriously.
She glanced around, looking a little shy, and waved for him to come closer.
Seeing her playful look, Ning Chen felt even more relaxed and he moved closer to her cooperatively.
Ye Jun whispered in his ear, "I like the emperor. I love his face. He looks like me. When the emperor is not around, I can't miss him."
This statement is really...
Ning Chen felt amused and thought that this woman was really good at coaxing people.
I've only heard that seeing things can remind you of someone, but never seeing a person can remind you of someone.
But I have to say that Ye Jun's teasing did make him feel better.
After lunch, it’s time to digest the food.
The closer you get to giving birth, the more you should increase your exercise so that the birth will be easier.
Ning Chen naturally accompanied her.
Just take a walk around Zhaochunxuan.
"Reports from the border say that there have been unusual movements in the Liao Kingdom. It seems that some troops have been gathered near the fiefdom of the fourth Zasak prince. I am worried that a war may break out." Ning Chen suddenly said.
He shouldn't have told this to the concubines in the harem, but the Liao Kingdom not only borders Zasak, but also Lingzhou where Ye Zhe is. If a war really breaks out, Ye Zhe will inevitably have to go to the battlefield.
Naturally, it was difficult to hide this matter from Ye Jun.
Sure enough, Ye Jun's expression became solemn after hearing the news.
"But is it true?"
"The report sent by Aoqi cannot be wrong." Ning Chen said in a low voice.
He held the man's hand a little tighter, "But I'm not sure whether there will be a fight or not, so don't worry too much."
Ye Jun narrowed his eyes, raised his head and looked over with a firm gaze.
"My brother grew up in the military camp with my father. Protecting the border is what he has always been committed to. It is also his mission as a subject to be loyal to the emperor. Although I am a woman, I also know that this is not the time to be hesitant. If a fight really breaks out, I will support my brother in leading the troops into battle."
Ning Chen stared at those eyes steadily. The emotions in them were different from usual. They were exceptionally calm, yet revealed a sharpness and determination that ordinary girls did not have.
She said this sincerely, and even in the depths of her eyes, Ning Chen still caught a hint of hidden worry.
In the past, I always thought that Ye Jun was a spoiled and eccentric little woman, but I didn't expect that she had a sense of national justice in her heart.
Suddenly, Ning Chen was reminded of the time in Zasak, when this woman held a longbow and competed with Princess Dolan.
Ning Chen suddenly felt that Ye Jun was not a canary at all, but a young eagle that had suppressed its edge.
This is probably what a daughter of a general should be like.
"It is my honor to have you." Ning Chen suddenly said.
Ye Jun was a little unresponsive to his sudden words.
Aren’t we still talking about the war in the court? Why did it suddenly become so corny again
Seeing her in a daze, Ning Chen smiled and rubbed the top of her head, "Don't worry about the border affairs. I only know my limits. Just take good care of your pregnancy and give me a healthy child."
"good."
Since the topic had changed, Ye Jun didn't bother with it anymore. He just smiled lightly and nodded in response.
After walking for a while, Ye Jun felt a little sleepy.
Ning Chen helped her into the house to rest.
There was something about the border that needed to be dealt with, so naturally he couldn't accompany her for her nap. He watched Ye Jun lie down and then came out.
When I left, I noticed that the flowers and plants in the yard had grown very dense.
Then he said casually, "These flowers and plants are well grown."
Yuan Jiu chuckled, "Zhao Chunxuan's geomancy nourishes people and also makes plants flourish."
"Stop talking nonsense and let's go." Ning Chen glanced at him and walked out.
Yuan Jiu also hurriedly followed behind.
But inside the room, Ye Jun did not fall asleep. He lay down and tossed and turned.
If a war really breaks out this time, how can she not worry about her brother's safety.
My sister-in-law Yin gave birth to a daughter at the end of August this year. Now my niece is not even one year old. If something really happened to Ye Zhe on the battlefield, my niece would be without a father since childhood.
For Ye Jun, after his father passed away, his elder brother Ye Zhe had become both a brother and a father to him. Although the two seldom met each other, this blood relationship always concerned each other.
But she also understood that if a war broke out, this would be Ye Zhe's best opportunity to prove himself.
To this day, what outsiders know most about the Ye family is still that they have a general who risked his life to save the previous emperor and had outstanding military achievements.
Little did they know that his eldest son Ye Zhe, now the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery, was also a young and promising general.
If he could make a name for himself on the battlefield this time, the Ye family would be able to regain its former glory, and Ye Zhe would be considered to have truly shouldered the responsibility of supporting the Ye family.
After all, the glory of the deceased will not last long, and only the living can create the future.
There is no point in thinking too much. Ye Jun didn't want to think too much about things that had not happened yet. He let out a long breath, forced himself to get rid of his chaotic thoughts, and finally fell asleep.
But at that time, Yao Xiang couldn't sleep in Weiruixuan.
Because she knew better than anyone that this battle was bound to happen, and Nanqi would win.
Ye Zhe in his previous life was different from this life. He did not have a sister named Ye Jun who was favored in the palace. In five years, the emperor had long forgotten that there was such a person.
Ye Zhe was not able to go to the battlefield at all. Instead, it was Huo Cairen's brother Huo Pingbei who led his troops north and made great military achievements.
What followed naturally was that Huo was promoted to the position of concubine and then to the position of imperial consort.
This time, Ye Zhe still has a place in Lingzhou and will surely be able to make achievements on the battlefield. Huo Pingbei will also definitely go, but she will no longer watch them go so smoothly.
Although the Yao family has taken the path of civil officials now, they also had military generals in the past. Yao Xiang's elder brother was proficient in both civil and military affairs.
"Quick, prepare some pen and ink for me. I want to write a letter to my brother."
Zizhu responded and hurriedly got ready.
Yao Xiang quickly wrote a letter and gave it to Zizhu, ordering her to leave the palace and personally deliver it to her brother.
This time, if Ye Zhe could be eliminated through the war, without his brother, the Ye family would lose their military power, which would severely cut off most of Ye Jun's bargaining chips.
How much can the Chu family achieve with just one merchant family
Looking at the incense burner with smoke rising from it, Yao Xiang's eyes were as sinister as a snake.
"Ye, don't blame me. If you want to blame someone, blame the emperor for doting on you. And your family background is so good. If I don't get rid of you, how can I sit on the throne with peace of mind?"
Since she has found an opportunity, she must slowly eradicate everything of the Ye family.
