The seventh prince kept watching Yang Yue'er's leaving figure.
Seeing this, Wen Nuan said: "Miss Yang is such a delicate and delicate woman! I can't help but feel pity for her when I see her."
The seventh prince came back to his senses, smiled and shook his head: "It's not bad! I have seen many beautiful and weak women. Sometimes the more delicate and weak a woman is, the more poisonous she is!"
The Seventh Prince raised the scroll in his hand: "Let's go in and pay respects to the Imperial Grandmother! I have to go to the military camp. It's late today. The Seventeenth Prince doesn't know if he will skin me."
Nuan Nuan nodded.

The days passed in peace for a few days, and it was almost the first lunar month.
During these days, Yang Yue'er would go to the Queen Mother every morning to pay her respects. Sometimes she would play the piano for the Queen Mother and Wen Nuan, sometimes she would paint, and sometimes she would play chess with the Queen Mother.
She is really proficient in all kinds of music, chess, calligraphy and painting!
In the past few days, the Seventh Prince also came to the Queen Mother's tent to listen to music and play chess whenever he had free time.
On this day, it was near noon.
As usual, Wen Nuan came to the Queen Mother's account to talk to the Queen Mother.
Because Nuan Nuan is happy, he is relatively lethargic, so he greets you later every day.
Normally when Nuan Nuan came over, it was Nalan Jinnian who accompanied her after training the soldiers.
Only when he was busy with something, Nuan Nuan would come by himself.
When Nuan Nuan walked in, the seventh prince was playing chess with Yang Yue'er.
Not seeing Nalan Jinnian today, the Queen Mother asked casually: "Is Shi Qi going to train soldiers again?"
Nuan Nuan sat down: "No, he set off to Puning Mountain early this morning."
Yang Yue'er tightened her grip on the chess pieces and looked at the chessboard with a serious look on her face.
I don’t know whether to listen carefully or play chess seriously.
"Puning Mountain? Are you going..." The Queen Mother paused here and then changed her words: "Can you make it back tonight?"
Nuan Nuan shook his head: "He said he won't be able to come back until tomorrow morning. It's not safe to drive overnight."
The Queen Mother glared at the Seventh Prince: "Why don't you go? Don't you know that your Seventeenth Prince's aunt is pregnant now and can't live without people at night?"
After saying this, the Queen Mother said to Wen Nuan in a friendly manner: "If you are afraid and dare not sleep alone tonight, then come to the Queen Mother and sleep with her."
The seventh prince looked innocent: "The imperial grandmother was wronged! It was the seventeenth uncle who didn't let me go! He didn't trust me to go and greet him. I took the initiative to go!"
Wen Nuan hurriedly said: "It doesn't matter, this really has nothing to do with the seventh prince. There is no need to disturb the queen's rest tonight. Chen Huan and Chen Xi will keep vigil, and I am not afraid of sleeping by myself."
The Queen Mother took Nuan's hand and said, "Thank you for your hard work."
Wen Nuan smiled and put his hand on his abdomen: "It's not hard. This child is very well-behaved and doesn't make any noise at all."
The Queen Mother's eyes also fell on the warm belly, and she reached out to touch it: "What a good boy."
Only then did Yang Yue'er speak: "Princess Jin is a blessed person, and the child she carries is also sensible and well-behaved."
The Queen Mother nodded happily: "No."
Nuan Nuan had lunch with the Queen Mother and then left.
The Queen Mother takes a beauty nap at noon every day.
So Yang Yue'er and the Seventh Prince also left with Nuan Nuan.
The three of them walked out of the Queen Mother's tent.
The Seventh Prince said to Nuan Nuan: "Aunt Seventeenth, I will give you a brief account."
Nuan Nuan waved his hand: "No, do you want to watch soldiers training?"
The seventh prince nodded: "Of course."
Nuan Nuan said: "Let me go and take a look too! Spring is about to begin. I'm going to see if the soldiers have mastered the formation."
The Seventh Prince heard this and immediately said: "That's a good relationship. If the soldiers knew that the Seventeenth Emperor's Aunt was going, they would be very happy. You saved so many soldiers before, but they didn't thank you properly! Those guys kept talking about it all day long, but I don’t dare to disturb you.”
Wen Nuan smiled: "Have you brought the formation diagram? I'll see if there is anything that needs to be changed. If so, I will modify it!"
The Seventh Prince patted his chest: "I've brought it with me. I always carry such important things with me."
Yang Yue'er followed behind the two of them, her head slightly lowered, as if she didn't listen to what was going on outside the window.
Nuan Nuan seemed to think of her at this moment, and said to the Seventh Prince: "Let's go, we are blocking the door, blocking Miss Yang's way."
The seventh prince quickly got out of the way: "Why don't you say anything? I forgot about it."
When Yang Yue'er heard this, she waved her hands in panic and said, "No, the princess and the seventh prince are discussing business matters, and civilian girls dare not disturb them."
"We didn't say anything to disturb you."
She raised her head and glanced at the Seventh Prince, with admiration in her eyes, and smiled: "The civilian girls are fine too, it doesn't matter if you wait. Seventh Prince, Princess, you go get to work! We, the people of Nalan Kingdom, are all looking forward to the early start of the war. Here’s to victory!”
The Seventh Prince only felt that her smile was extremely shy, and his admiring eyes were very helpful to her, so he said: "It's okay, there is no war yet, we have to wait until the first month of the year. It's not an urgent matter. You can remind me next time."
He knew the origin of her admiring eyes was because she heard that she had defeated the brave and capable Beiming Army in her first expedition and captured a city in the Southern Border Kingdom.
"Yes!" Yang Yue'er responded softly.
"Let's go!" Wen Nuan said to the Seventh Prince, and then to Yang Yue'er: "Miss Yang, please go back and have a good rest! Thank you for staying with the Queen Mother."
"Princess, you are serious. Being able to accompany the Queen Mother is a blessing for a common girl. It is not hard work."
Nuan Nuan nodded, and then left with the Seventh Prince to watch the soldiers train.
After the Seventh Prince and Wen Nuan walked away, the Seventh Prince said, "Miss Yang seems to be keeping to herself. She only stays in her tent all day long and goes to the Queen Mother's place. There should be no problem!"
Nuan Nuan: "If there is any problem, we will know after tonight."
Last time, she deliberately dropped the grain transportation route map in front of her, just to test her.
The seventh prince nodded: "If there is really a problem, then you are seeking death! Aunt Seventeenth Emperor, don't have too much contact with her before you are sure whether there is no problem with her."
The seventh prince knew that there were too many people who wanted the life of the child in the belly of the seventeenth prince.
Nuan Nuan rolled his eyes at him: "Don't worry about me, you should worry about yourself! As the saying goes, gentle ladies and gentlemen are so brave, don't be mesmerized, the boat will capsize in the gutter!"
The Seventh Prince smiled: "How could it be? How many beauties in this world have I not seen? There are beauties like the Imperial Grandmother and the Seventeenth Imperial Aunt beside me! How could she be able to charm me!"
Wen Nuan snorted coldly: "It's best like this! If a man stumbles on a woman, the lesson will be terrible! The price is also high!"
"I know, no, am I the kind of lecherous person? I wouldn't be so stupid!..." The seventeenth uncle had already said this, and the seventh prince quickly changed the subject and asked Wen Nuan discussed several issues related to martial arts training and art of war.
Nuan Nuan explained to him carefully.

The dark night came as expected, and the cold winter had not passed yet. This night, the north wind was still howling.
