Chapter 157: The Little Maid in the Prime Minister’s Mansion 21 (End)

After discovering that she was pregnant, Chu Yuan, at the request of her mother-in-law, moved into the princess's mansion with her personal maid Chun Tao. Several maids and nannies served her every day, fearing that she would get hurt.

The meals she ate every day were also based on the medicinal recipes prepared by the imperial physician. The emperor specially assigned two imperial chefs to be responsible for her every drink and meal.

So Chu Yuan lived a very comfortable and happy life, and the child in her belly grew very healthily.

When she was just nine months pregnant, she suddenly felt a severe pain in her abdomen.

I'm afraid she's about to give birth.

Fortunately, the house had all the necessary supplies and staff, and Chu Yuan soon gave birth to a boy and a girl safely.

The girl is the older sister, named Huo Ruxuan. She took the character "Xuan" from her grandmother's title to show her nobility.

The boy is the younger brother, named Huo Huaiyuan. This name was given by the emperor, implying that he is broad-minded, has lofty ambitions, and will become a wise king in the future.

On the day when the two children were one month old, good news came from the border, saying that Prince Jingyuan had led his troops to successfully repel the enemy and was pursuing the victory, preparing to capture the enemy city in one fell swoop.

The victory report was read out twice in court, and the emperor said three "good" words in a row.

He ordered that the eldest daughter of King Jingyuan be named a princess and be awarded a fief of 3,000 households.

This reward is indeed extremely generous, and there will certainly be more rewards when the army returns to the capital.

For a while, Chu Yuan was the most famous person in Shangjing City. His house received several large boxes of visiting cards alone, not to mention various gifts.

Chu Yuan only met with a few families that were difficult to refuse, and left the rest to her mother-in-law to deal with.

Three months later, the army achieved a complete victory and Huo Yucheng was ordered to return to Beijing to receive his reward.

He had been eager to return home, and he rode at full speed all the way, arriving at Shangjing City ten days ahead of the army.

The first thing to do when I come back is, of course, to go home to visit my wife and children.

Holding two fair and tender babies, Huo Yu's sincerity was about to melt. He gave Chu Yuan a heavy kiss on the lips: "Yuan'er, you have worked hard."

That night, the two children were taken away by their wet nurse, and the couple had a passionate emotional exchange, making up for the longing they had for each other after not seeing each other for so long.

Halfway through the process, Chu Yuan turned his head away and secretly took a contraceptive pill while Huo Yucheng was absorbed in it.

This man is quite capable, and she doesn't want to get pregnant again right after giving birth.

After staying at home for ten days, the day came for the army to enter the city.

Huo Yucheng got up early in the morning and slipped out, pretending that he had just returned today, and enjoyed the people's worship.

Of course, this could only deceive ordinary people. After all, all the officials in the court knew that he was in a hurry to come back to see the princess.

Huo Yucheng made great contributions this time, and the emperor decided to hold a banquet in the palace to celebrate for him.

During the banquet, an imperial edict was read out, conferring the title of first-rank lady on Chu Yuan and rewarding her with ten thousand taels of gold.

What followed was toasting and all the ladies raised their glasses to congratulate her, and Chu Yuan responded one by one.

At this time, she realized that a pair of eyes were following her. When she looked in the direction, it was Changsun Yizhong.

The master who was once so high and mighty now has to bow and pay homage to her when he sees her. I wonder how he feels now.

Chu Yuan smiled slightly in that direction, and then returned to Huo Yucheng's side.

......

Two years later.

The princess's mansion had just celebrated the New Year with great enthusiasm, but immediately fell into the depressing atmosphere of farewell.

Because Huo Yucheng was about to set off back to the border, he was a prince with his own fiefdom, and it was inevitable that he would be gossiped about if he stayed in Shangjing City all the time.

Chu Yuan had to stay here with her two children because Chu Yang was about to take part in the Spring Examination, and she, as an elder sister, could not leave at this time.

The two agreed to reunite at the border six months later.

Chu Yang is a child who strives to do well. His hard work in the past few years has not been in vain. He was favored by the emperor in the palace examination and was chosen to be the third place winner of this year's imperial examination.

Now he became the best candidate for husband in the eyes of various families.

There was only one maid named Mingyue in his courtyard. She was a maid sent by Chu Yuan to serve him and was taken into his room a year ago.

There were no other women besides her, so the backyard could be said to be very clean.

Many powerful people valued his talent and background and wanted to marry their daughters to him.

Chu Yuan asked for his opinion and finally chose Xie Lanru, the second daughter of the Dali Temple Shaoqing, as his wife.

If Chu Yuan hadn't been asked this question, he wouldn't have known that this boy already had a lover in his heart, and that person was Miss Xie.

Miss Xie had been raised at her maternal grandparents' home and only moved to the capital city half a year ago.

Because she has no close friends here, Miss Xie often goes shopping alone, with only a personal maid by her side.

The two of them were strolling in the bookstore and happened to attract Chu Yang's attention.

It happened that Miss Xie's purse was lost at that time, and Chu Yang bought several poetry collections that she had already selected for her. As a result, the two of them had some interactions.

Chu Yuan sent someone to investigate, and found out that this Miss Xie had a good reputation and was also a well-known talented woman in her hometown.

Moreover, their meeting in the bookstore that day was purely accidental and not a conspiracy.

In this case, Chu Yuan agreed to his brother's wishes and asked a matchmaker to go and propose marriage.

The Shaoqing of the Dali Temple was of course 100% in favor of this marriage. This was the younger brother of Princess Jingyuan, and there was no reason to push away such a good thing that could happen to his daughter.

After settling his lifelong affairs, Chu Yuan prepared to leave for the border, and his two children were left in the capital to be raised by Princess Jingxuan.

The conditions in the border areas are not as good as those in the capital. The two children are still so young, and I’m afraid they won’t be able to adapt there, so I won’t take them there this time.

Before leaving, Chu Yuan went to see King Xinyuan.

"Brother Wang, do you remember the condition you promised me back then?"

"Of course, if my sister-in-law needs anything, I will not refuse."

She will be leaving in a few days, and if there is anyone she is still worried about, it is of course her only brother Chu Yang.

So she suggested that no matter what happened in the future, he should do his best to protect Chu Yang's life.

The situation in officialdom is ever-changing, and Chu Yuan is worried that he will be involved in the chaos of the fight for the throne in the future, and by then he will be far away at the border and unable to do anything.

So she wanted to ask for a talisman for Chu Yang.

Prince Xinyuan was ostensibly working for the emperor, but in reality he was the prince's man. The time he was injured and was spotted by Chu Yuan, he was there to help the prince eliminate dissidents.

When the prince ascends the throne in the future, he will be a trusted minister of the new dynasty. With his full protection, Chu Yang can at least save his life.

Xiao Yuncheng was amazed at her foresight and agreed to her request.

......

Under the escort of the guards, Chu Yuan safely arrived at the border, a town called Asahi City, which was the location of the Jingyuan Palace.

As soon as the couple met, they gave each other a big hug and expressed their longing for each other.

From then on, they finally had someone to accompany them during the long nights.

In the following decades, Chu Yuan traveled between the two places and returned to the capital every year to visit his children.

This continued until her two children grew up and had their own families, and only then did she finally settle down at the border.

When Chu Yuan was 78 years old, Huo Yucheng left this world.

At the last moment of his life, he held Chu Yuan's hand tightly and said, "Yuan'er, I have kept my promise and loved you all my life."

Hearing this, Chu Yuan's eyes became moist. Yes, she had lived a very happy life.

"Xiaodao, let's go"
