Chapter 214 Cup Wine

Jiang Xuening didn't understand why she suddenly said she was "stupid".

She lifted her head to look at Shen Zhiyi.

Just to her surprise, at this moment, the body next to her shoulder shook and then pressed against her, causing her to exclaim in surprise, "Your Highness!"

The tightness that had been lifted in the past few days, fatigue surged, and a faint throbbing pain suddenly appeared in Shen Zhiyi's abdomen.

Cold sweat burst out from her forehead.

Her eyebrows furrowed, and her eyes gradually turned black. She didn't even say a word before fainting.

The people around suddenly became panicked.

Even Yan Lin immediately flipped over and dismounted.

Jiang Xuening felt a heavy heart and saw some blood stains fainting on Shen Zhi's dress. An ominous feeling rose up, and she panicked and shouted, "Doctor, hurry, pass on the doctor!"

*

Shen Zhiyi was already pregnant, but during her time in Tatar, she struggled due to her identity as Princess Daqianchang. Only she knew how much suffering she endured inside. Moreover, after the war broke out, King Yanda of the Tatars had a strong urge on him. He was worried about his homeland and the war, and his mind was almost stretched to the extreme. When we reach Yanmen Pass and meet our old friends, our emotions become even more intense. Is there a reason why something should not happen?

This moment of fainting turned out to be a sign of premature birth.

Yan Lin almost immediately ordered the entire army to find the midwife, Wen Po.

Keyanmen Pass was originally built to resist foreign invasions. Normally, soldiers were stationed, and now it's wartime. While big men grab a lot of them, women don't see much, let alone stable mothers who deliver babies.

Fortunately, there are some doctors who accompany the army to treat wounded soldiers.

These doctors usually open medical clinics in the Guannei area to treat people. After a lot of effort, they finally asked a few who had arranged for pregnant women to have babies and delivered babies, so they quickly invited them over.

Almost everyone is waiting in the yard.

Jiang Xuening's face turned pale.

In the previous life, Shen Zhiyi encountered an accident in Tatar, and the child with the bloodline of both the Da Qian and Tatar tribes was naturally unable to be saved. Therefore, she was somewhat hesitant to think about the outcome of this life.

Everyone has already been rescued.

If, because of this child

She stood outside the door curtain, listening to the noisy sounds inside, feeling her fingertips cold. However, the crying of Shen Zhiyi waking up from her coma made her heart even more restless.

Almost tormented from morning until afternoon.

Doctors with less experience are almost giving up.

But just as the dim twilight finally descended, the cry of a baby suddenly came from the room. Although it was not loud enough or powerful enough, it sounded like a weak kitten's cry.

These doctors almost burst into tears.

He stumbled out and said, "Boy, it's a boy. His Royal Highness the Long Royal Highness Princess is safe and sound!"

Everyone breathed a complete sigh of relief.

Jiang Xuening stood stiff for a day and almost immediately fell to the ground.

After a while, he held onto the hand handed over by Yan Lin next to him, stood up with force, lifted the door curtain, and entered the room.

After all, it was a desolate border area, and the room was so rudimentary that it only had tables, chairs, and beds.

Shen Zhiyi lay back on the couch.

The maid, with tears in her eyes, held the underage baby and showed it to her. She only extended her weak and powerless fingers, gently stroking the baby's cheek, and then saw Jiang Xuening. She hoarsely called out, "Ning Ning."

Jiang Xuening shed tears like rain.

I can't imagine what kind of suffering and humiliation Shen Zhiyi, with such a luxurious and luxurious background, endured in the Tatars. But when my gaze turned to the baby just now, it was an infinite tenderness.

She walked to the bedside and said, "Congratulations Your Highness, he is also safe and sound."

The baby in swaddling clothes, not yet as big as a palm, has a face that is red and wrinkled, much smaller than a typical full-term baby. There is still wet fetal hair on top of the head, and both eyes are tightly closed, making a murmur that doesn't know what it means.

Shen Zhiyi was really powerless, and her fingers caressing the child's cheeks drooped down. She looked at Jiang Xuening and said, "It's been so long, I never thought of giving him a name. I think she's a thoughtful girl, not a boy. Ning Ning, help me give him a name."

Jiang Xuening was momentarily stunned.

After a while, he said, "How about the character 'Jia'? I hope he grows up happily and healthily in the future."

Shen Zhiyi read it lightly once, blinked her eyes, and then smiled slightly. "Let's follow my surname over there and call it 'Shen Jia' from now on."

Although her surname is Shen?

Jiang Xuening suddenly realized something, and her heart was filled with sourness. However, she dared not show any signs of sadness. Instead, she continued to smile and said, "Shen Jia, reciting sounds quite pleasant."

*

Now that Shen Zhiyi has been retrieved, the border war has come to an end.

The Tatars have been severely damaged in these consecutive days of war and cannot recover their vitality in three to five years. Yan Lin and Xie Wei naturally did not engage in the act of slaughtering cities against ordinary people, and the culture of the Central Plains was not similar to that of the Tatars. Even if they occupied the city, governance would require a lot of effort and there would be endless future troubles.

So although they had already attacked the royal court, the army still withdrew in batches in the following month.

The Tatars naturally also presented peace books to Xinzhou.

The news spread to the interior of the pass, and it was even more joyful.

Jiang Xuening stayed with Shen Zhiyi at Yanmen Pass for a month due to her postpartum weakness. Seeing her gradually recovering, she dared to set off for Xinzhou on the 22nd day of the twelfth lunar month. The journey was not too bumpy, so the originally short section of the road was also walked for two or three days.

The news of the princess returning to court has already reached Xinzhou.

When the common people rarely see the nobles of the royal family and the victorious army, upon hearing the news, they all come out to pay their respects to the princess's appearance. Seeing the triumphant demeanor, they block the streets both inside and outside.

I entered the city at noon and only entered the General's Mansion in the evening.

The mansion has already prepared clean and comfortable rooms, and some more skilled doctors have come to treat Shen Zhiyi and the baby who has been born for less than a month to a safe pulse. They have also prescribed some warm and nourishing prescriptions.

After such a series of twists and turns, we finally reached the end of the year.

The Tatars, who had been harassing incessantly in previous years, were beaten to pieces by the newly appointed general, and even the royal court was not preserved; Shen Zhiyi, the Princess of Leyang who went to make peace for the country, was safely rescued and even gave birth to a son. The people at the border were overjoyed, and both inside and outside the military camp were full of enthusiasm. They petitioned for orders together, and each family made efforts to hold a flowing banquet in the city. Firstly, they rewarded the victorious class teacher, secondly, they respectfully welcomed His Highness back to court, thirdly, they wished the baby a full moon, and fourthly, they celebrated New Year's Eve and New Year's Eve.

On the evening of the Chinese New Year's Eve, the General's Mansion was inevitably adorned with colorful lights and decorations.

Shen Zhiyi's body has been taken care of better, and she can now walk around the yard in the past few days.

Jiang Xuening personally painted her makeup and arrived at the banquet hall.

Xie Wei, Yan Lin, Lv Xian, You Fangyin, and others were all present, and even Ren Weizhi, who had been escorting another batch of provisions from the rear a while ago and arrived later, was included in the banquet, including military generals and orchestral actors. The scene is lively and extraordinary, sweeping away the former desolation of the border city, there is even a bustling scene of trees, silver flowers, and wine, making people feel as if they have returned to the capital.

"I have never fought such a thrilling war in my life. I want food and money, not to mention fighting for a month, but for another ten years. I won't hesitate!"

"Yeah, how come you've been so comfortable before?"

"In the past, it used to be the last general to underestimate General Yan, but now it's true that heroes emerge from youth, old, old!"

"Walk, walk, go and toast General Yan!"

During the banquet, some people were so drunk that they had their faces turned red. They helped each other and stood up from their seats, holding wine cups to look for Yan Lin and offering him a drink.

Tonight, Yan Lin had already changed his heavy armor and was only wearing a dark and powerful suit. With wide shoulders and narrow waist, he was attracted by many eunuchs and maids around him who kept looking at him. The autumn waves were dark, and his beautiful eyes were captivating.

He just doesn't seem to be able to see anything.

Seeing everyone coming towards him, although he got up, he didn't bring any wine and only said, "Generals, forgive me. Yan doesn't drink alcohol, I'm afraid he might miss out on your hospitality."

Everyone was momentarily stunned.

Among them, the older general with a beard on his face even reached out his hand and put it on his shoulder, casually saying, "How can a hero like General not drink? A man, if you're drunk, you're going to get drunk! Everyone is drinking so happily, you're not drinking. What's that like? Come here, bring us General Yan wine!"

Someone immediately responded from the side.

After all, today is a flowing banquet set up throughout the city, where the military and civilians are enjoying each other and working together. The original manpower in the General's Mansion is naturally not enough to handle many of these things, so some waiters and even shopkeepers from restaurants in Xinzhou city have come to help.

The customs in the border city are open, and even some young women who want to find a good marriage have come.

After all, if you can find a good man in the military, isn't it also a good marriage?

The one who responded was a beautiful girl wearing a red dress, who had carefully painted her makeup today and placed golden flower petals on her eyebrows. She carefully distinguished the corners of her eyes and the tips of her eyebrows, which still had a hint of charm.

Many people's gaze fell on her, I don't know.

She was pouring wine for someone at the banquet, and when she heard someone calling, she turned around holding a wine jug.

Yan Lin didn't pay much attention and still said that he didn't drink alcohol.

The girl's gaze flickered towards him, and her cheeks blushed slightly, with a hint of shyness. Looking at him in such a lively occasion added a touch of charm.

She turned around and poured the wine cup hanging over the table, then presented the wine to Yan Lin.

Yan Lin frowned lightly and didn't reach out to pick it up. He only said to the noisy generals, "You guys have drunk a bit too much."

At this moment, Jiang Xuening helped Shen Zhiyi in.

As soon as she saw the lively scene, she couldn't help but laugh and said to Yan Lin, "After a life and death battle on the battlefield, I have already paid my life. What's a cup of wine? The generals are also sincere, so why don't you drink obediently?"

Yan Lin turned her eyes and suddenly looked at her in silence.

Her heart skipped a beat.

Memories flow back, and finally something comes to mind, causing some confusion.

When those generals saw such a beautiful girl suddenly come in, they remembered the rumored "Ning Er Miss" a few days ago, and heard that she was so familiar with Yan Lin. They all laughed along and said, "Yes, Ning Er Miss has said that even if General Yan doesn't look at our face, he must look at the face of the girl! Here, let's toast you!"

Yan Linju said, "I don't drink alcohol."

The bearded general couldn't help but sigh and say, "You're not in your seventies or eighties. What can't you drink?"

Yan Lin withdrew his gaze from Jiang Xuening, seeming somewhat displeased. He lowered his gaze and said, "I'm afraid it might scare people."

Jiang Xuening felt a slight pain in her heart.

He said as if he didn't say anything, "I appreciate your kindness, but I'll leave the good wine for you to drink."

===Kunning Section 265===

Most of the soldiers who lead the war are rough and honest, how could they be shamed like this? Moreover, Yan Lin is still young and inexplicably does not drink alcohol, which is really a bit unpleasant.

Fortunately, at this moment, Xie Wei and Lv Xian finished talking outside and walked in.

Upon seeing this, Jiang Xuening lifted the siege and said, "Mr. Xie has also arrived. General Yan has made great contributions to the front line battle this time, but without the rapid supply of food, grass, and supplies, this battle would not have been able to be fought so happily. Why don't we all toast Mr. Xie together?"

Xie Wei stopped and looked at her.

Although he doesn't directly interfere in military affairs, who knows his status in the city of Xinzhou? Moreover, he speaks very little and is a high-ranking civil servant from the capital. These old and rough generals always feel more at ease when interacting with him than when talking to Yan Lin. There is a sense of restraint, and occasionally they may even feel inexplicably intimidated by his calm gaze.

As soon as Jiang Xuening said this, everyone's joking expression also subsided.

Suddenly, he murmured "yes" and turned to holding a wine cup to express his gratitude to Wei.

Xie Wei remained silent.

Jiang Xuening caught a glimpse of him empty handed. Looking aside, she saw the girl who had previously served wine to Yan Lin. She then took the wine cup from her hand and turned to pass it to Xie Wei.

I originally just wanted to help Yan Lin.

However, when she lifted her eyes and touched his gaze, an indescribable complexity arose in her heart. Regardless, if the border army could directly attack the Tartar royal court and rescue the princess, the first person she should thank was Xie Wei.

Holding onto the wine cup, Jiang Xuening paused for a moment. After all, she still held the cup with both hands and lowered her head slightly, saying, "Sir, please."

Shake the agar gently in a bowl.

Xie Wei glanced at the wine cup and then at her before taking it over. Her fingertips couldn't help but lightly touch hers, and her fingers shrank back as if they had been scalded by something.

At this moment, all the generals spoke in unison, "I would like to offer you a toast, Young Master!"

Xie Wei remained silent and poured out his glass to drink the wine.

There was a burst of cheers and laughter around him, and he didn't show much joy. He casually handed the empty cups to the side, and a sharp eyed waiter took them away.

Everyone re seated.

Jiang Xuening also breathed a sigh of relief.

No one noticed that the girl in red, who had previously poured wine for Yan Lin, had turned a little pale on her face when she saw Xie Wei finish drinking from the glass, revealing a look of unease and regret. Taking advantage of the crowd's lack of attention, he bit his lip and quietly sneaked into the bustling crowd, disappearing without a trace.

Jiang Xuening helped Shen Zhiyi sit down, and she also sat next to her.

Ren Weizhi and You Fangyin were bowing their heads to the side and talking.

When Lv Xian sat down, he unintentionally saw it, and for some reason, he felt a sense of unease in his heart. He just turned his eyes and didn't look, wanting to talk to Xie Wei and Yan Lin.

However, before he could speak, Sword Book quickly walked in and said something in Xie Wei's ear.

Xie Wei's expression slightly changed.

He turned his head and looked towards the entrance of the flower hall.

At this moment, only a long memorial could be heard ringing in front of the General's Mansion: "Vice Commander of the Royal Guards, Mr. Zhou Yinzhi, is here."

There was a sudden silence above the banquet.

Jiang Xuening raised her eyebrows sharply, and in surprise, she immediately frowned.

After a while, Zhou Yinzhi, dressed in dark blue casual clothes, passed through the atrium and reached the lobby. He bowed with a smile and said, "Zhou Yinzhi came here at the request of the government to wish the frontier a great victory in attacking Tartars. He has met the eldest Royal Highness Princess and the younger teacher!"
