Chapter 207 Miss you
Chapter 207 Miss you
After receiving the letter, Yan Mobai didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Although Ning Miao was stating a fact in a serious manner, he felt as if he was being scolded the more he watched.
She said it had nothing to do with him and asked him to think about his name.
This woman did it on purpose!
However, he would not bother with her.
With his eyebrows slightly raised, he put the letter away.
Yikong actually felt that he had no ambition and was not doing his job properly.
He also smiled and didn't take it to heart.
Originally, he hadn't planned to write letters every day, as sending pigeons too frequently would inevitably attract attention.
-
The days passed one by one, and soon it was the hottest summer.
However, the heat in the mountains was not very hot, and it was even a little cool at night. The temperature was very suitable, and Ning Miao felt very comfortable.
During this period, she no longer had morning sickness, had a good appetite, and enjoyed everything she ate.
Seeing that she was no longer in danger, Wu Ya left Zixia Mountain and went traveling again, saying that he would definitely come back before she gave birth.
Her belly grew bigger day by day, and her waist became rounder.
Sometimes she could even feel the fetal movement and thought life was truly miraculous.
Yan Mobai would write a letter every three to five days, telling her about his recent situation and asking about the situation of her and her unborn baby.
Yan Mobai did not mention the issue of appointing a crown prince in the letter. She guessed that the joint letter from the ministers did not work.
She knew that it would not be easy for Prince Ning to enter the Eastern Palace.
The fact that Emperor Zhaoqing cares so much about Taoist Qiu shows how much he wants to refine the elixir of immortality, and it also shows how much he wants to sit on the throne forever.
-
Prince Ning was the most anxious about Emperor Zhaoqing's delay in appointing a crown prince.
That day, he talked about this matter with Yan Mobai again.
"Why do you think father is like this? In fact, appointing a crown prince does not mean he should abdicate. It does not threaten his throne. He could have appointed one first. Throughout history, it is almost always suggested to appoint a crown prince early so as to ensure the stability of the country. Why is he hesitating?"
Yan Mobai was actually anxious as well.
"The emperor's mind is hard to predict. Perhaps the emperor wants to give Your Highness more experience."
Prince Ning shook his head: "Being a crown prince can also give you some experience. This is definitely not the reason. Are you still not satisfied with me?"
"Your Highness, don't think too much. The Emperor may be investigating. As long as Your Highness remembers your original intention, is sincere, works diligently for government affairs, and serves the country and the people, the throne of the Eastern Palace will be yours sooner or later." Yan Mobai advised.
Prince Ning smiled bitterly: "I have been like this all these years, but he still can't see it."
Suddenly he remembered something: "Do you think that Father is afraid that I have Yuan's army behind me?"
Yan Mobai looked towards Prince Ning.
Princess Ning's father was the general Zhenyuan of the current dynasty. The Yuan family had been military generals for generations with great military exploits. The Yuan family army was large in number and had strong combat effectiveness.
The sons of the Yuan family are all brave generals. Even Yuan Ziyan, a girl, is the first female general of the Dazhao Kingdom and is brave and good at fighting.
It is normal for Emperor Zhaoqing to be wary.
"It's possible." Yan Mobai replied.
Military power is a double-edged sword. It will make the emperor rely on it, but it will also make him wary of it.
"Then what should we do? It's impossible to ask the Yuan family to hand over the military power, right?" King Ning frowned.
Yan Mobai shook his head and said, "No. The Yuan family has been stationed at the border for generations. They are the most powerful defense line and barrier of Dazhao. Once the military power is handed over, the Yuan family army will surely lose morale. The new leader will take over and will not be familiar with these people, and these people may not obey orders. The border countries have been intimidated by the Yuan family for many years and dare not act rashly. Once they learn that the Yuan family has handed over the military power, they will definitely wait for an opportunity to act. The border is in danger and war will surely break out."
"Moreover, the Yuan family has been loyal for generations. Why would they hand over the military power? Suddenly handing over the military power will make all officials, the world, and the Yuan family army suspicious of the emperor, making the emperor embarrassed and unhappy." Yan Mobai said.
Prince Ning sighed, "How could I not know? I was just saying that. Besides, even if there were no such problems, the Yuan family would not be willing to hand over the military power."
Although his princess consort was the daughter of the Yuan family, he and the Yuan family actually had a mutually dependent relationship.
The Yuan family will certainly help him, after all, prosperity is for all, but it is impossible to sacrifice the interests of the entire family for him.
"Well, Your Highness, there is no need to be too anxious. We will think of other ways." Yan Mobai said.
King Ning nodded.

Summer passed in a flash, and soon it was late autumn.
Autumn in the mountains is also very beautiful. Although it is not as lush and green as summer, the red leaves are like fire and the forests are dyed in all colors. All kinds of delicious mountain fruits are ripe, sweet and sour.
Although it was just her and Yikong all day long and they had nothing to do except three meals a day. Yikong grew vegetables and flowers, did laundry and cooked, while she fed the chickens and ducks, played with the cats and walked the dog. But she felt that life was easy and comfortable.
She reads books at night and goes to bed early.
She had originally planned to try making some baby clothes and shoes, but it was too difficult for her. Wu Ya and Yi Kong shook their heads when they saw her "masterpiece".
Wu Ya said that when he returned to Zixia Mountain, he would buy everything the baby needed.
She let herself go.
That night, she went to bed early after taking a bath as usual.
I leaned against the head of the bed and read a book for a while, then I felt sleepy.
Just as I was about to lie down to sleep, I saw Yikong pushing the door open.
"Why is Master up again?" Ning Miao asked.
Yikong goes to bed earlier than her every day.
Yikong didn't reply to her and walked straight to her couch.
Ning Miao looked at him puzzledly.
Because he was facing away from the light of the candle, she couldn't see his expression clearly.
Seeing him suddenly reach out and pinch her face, Ning Miao was even more confused: "What's wrong? Master, are you having a nightmare?"
It was not until the other person lifted her chin and suddenly leaned forward and approached her that her face changed and she pushed him away with horror.
"You are not the master!"
The next moment he immediately reacted: "Yan Mobai?"
The man smiled and raised his hand to tear off the human skin mask on his face.
The familiar features caught my eye, it was none other than Yan Mobai!
Ning Miao: “….”
Ning Miao was speechless and stunned for a long time before he came to his senses.
"Why are you here? And dressed like this."
"I missed you," Yan Mobai put the human skin mask on the table, "I was afraid that I would come here and attract attention, so I pretended to be your master. This way it is safer."
Ning Miao glared at him.
"So you came in and deliberately kept silent, and even scared me with his face, was it also for safety reasons?"
Yan Mobai smiled, walked back to the couch, sat on the edge of the bed and looked at her, then raised his hand and pinched her face which had obviously gained some weight: "Just teasing you."
"Are you kidding? You're trying to scare me! Aren't you afraid of scaring me into premature birth?" Ning Miao pouted.
How could her master kiss her?
She almost got her heart pumping just now.
Yan Mobai stared at her deeply, then lowered his eyes to her bulging belly. After a moment, he raised his gaze and looked at her.
"I haven't seen you for three months and nine days, Ning Miao, do you miss me?"
