Lu Mingyu could guess what was happening in Yihua Palace without even thinking about it.

With Li Hao’s scheming, it would be easy for him to coax Meng Yunluo. As for Su Fei, she also had many ways to control her daughter-in-law.

Fortunately, all this has nothing to do with her now.

She had a nice nap and woke up in the evening. She couldn’t help but laugh at herself: “I’m just like a pig during this pregnancy. I can eat and sleep as much as I want.”

In the early stages of pregnancy, she didn’t experience any morning sickness, her appetite was very good, and she slept very well.

Li Jing couldn’t help laughing, held her cheek and kissed her deeply, then raised his head and smiled: “I wish you could eat and sleep well.”

Lu Mingyu smiled and slapped him: “You really take me for a pig!”

Li Jing blinked and joked, “What’s wrong with pigs? They can eat, sleep, and give birth. They can give birth to seven or eight babies at a time… Ouch!”

He was hit so hard in the chest that he almost choked.

The couple laughed and joked for a while, then got up and put on their clothes.

Qiyun came in with a smile and reported: “Your Highness and Huangzifei, Prince Xingyang, and the Second Young Master have returned home.”

Lu Mingyu’s eyes lit up and she immediately smiled and said, “I’ll be right there.”

…

Lu Lin and Lu Fei were in the barracks every day and would come back for one night every five days. They would have to rush back to the barracks before dawn the next day.

Although the war against Yan and Chu had not yet been put on the agenda, all military camps in Wei were recruiting soldiers for emergency training and there could be no slacking off at all.

Therefore, when Lu Lin received the good news that his daughter was pregnant, he had to suppress his joy and did not return home until today.

“Dad,” Lu Mingyu quickly stepped forward to greet him.

Lu Lin grinned and said, “Walk slowly. You are pregnant, so you have to be careful with your words and actions.”

Lu Mingyu smiled and replied, “I see. I haven’t even been to the martial arts training ground or ridden a horse in the past few days.”

“Don’t ride horses or shoot arrows until the baby is born.” Lu Lin immediately took over the conversation: “Don’t even think about going to the martial arts training ground. The baby is the most important thing.”

Ah, his father-in-law was the best! He had voiced all the things that Chang Lian himself found difficult to express.

Of course, only if Lu Lin said this, Lu Mingyu would not be angry. Try someone else?

Li Jing looked over gratefully: “Father-in-law is wise.”

Lu Mingyu smiled and rolled her eyes at Li Jing: “It seems that you have a lot of dissatisfaction in your heart!”

Li Jing immediately laughed and said, “How could that be? I am worried about your health. I just hate that men can’t have children. Otherwise, I would rather be the one carrying the child.”

Everyone laughed so hard that they could hardly stand up straight.

Lu Mingyu also burst out laughing and habitually reached out to hit Li Jing.

Lu Lin glanced over.

Lu Mingyu coughed and quickly withdrew her hand. This small action made Lu Fei and others laugh.

When a family got together, there was always something to talk about.

After dinner, Lu Lin called Lu Mingyu into the study and gave her detailed instructions.

Lu Mingyu was somewhat amazed: “Dad, how come you know everything? You even know about women’s pregnancy care!”

Lu Lin’s eyes showed nostalgia and reminiscence: “When your mother was pregnant, your grandfather led the army out to fight, and I stayed in the mansion to take care of your mother. At that time, the mansion hired a doctor. I consulted the doctor every day and cooked for your mother myself. So, I know how pregnant women should take care of the fetus and how to eat.”

After a pause, he sighed softly, “In fact, I even learned how to take care of women during the confinement period. But your mother passed away after giving birth to you. I learned cooking skills for a long time, but they were not put to good use.” ^[1]he is not just a green flag, but a whole green forest

Lu Mingyu had a slight soreness in her nose.

Mom passed away too early. Dad has been missing her for so many years.

The father and daughter sat facing each other in silence for a long time before Lu Lin smiled and broke the silence: “It’s better not to talk about these old things. Anyway, you are pregnant, so you must be careful in what you say, do, sit and lie down.”

Lu Mingyu nodded.

Lu Lin looked at his daughter and said meaningfully, “Being able to give birth to the child safely is the most important thing right now.”

The Eldest Prince’s wife had married several years earlier but had never given birth to a child. Even if Yang Gongren gave birth to a son, he would be a concubine’s son. If Lu Mingyu gave birth to a son, it would undoubtedly be a great joy for the Second Prince’s lineage.

Lu Mingyu glanced at his father and said, “The child is in my belly. I don’t know whether it’s a boy or a girl.”

Lu Lin looked confident: “It must be a boy.”

Lu Mingyu snorted softly: “Dad always said that having a daughter like me was enough. It turns out that he was just trying to fool me.”

Lu Lin laughed: “How can this be the same? Daddy only has you as his daughter. If you want the moon in the sky, Daddy will find a ladder to climb up and pick it for you. If you had married an ordinary husband, even if you didn’t want to have children, it was up to you. But now you are the Second Prince’s wife, and having children has become the top priority.”

“I hope everything goes well for you. It’s better to have a son as the first child.”

“In fact, I am just as happy to have a beautiful and lovely granddaughter.”

Lu Mingyu then turned his anger into a smile: “That’s more like it.”

Lu Lin also smiled.

After a woman becomes pregnant, her temperament and personality would inevitably change. Xiaoyu used to be cheerful and bright, but now she tends to be a little bit temperamental.

Lu Lin thought for a moment, and then reminded, “It is safest for you to stay in the Lu Mansion to take care of your pregnancy. However, you can’t stay there forever. When the pregnancy is stable, you must return to the Prince’s Mansion. After you go back, you must be extra careful.”

Empress Dowager Zhao was eyeing the palace covetously, and Meng Guifei and Su Fei were not easy to deal with. Qin Jieyu was punished by being confined to her house for half a year. With Empress Dowager Zhao’s temper, she definitely could not endure it for that long.

Maybe she would leave the palace in a month or two. And the Eldest Prince’s wife Liang Shi and the Third Prince’s wife Meng Shi…

In short, no one could be trusted except Empress Qiao and Huian Gōngzhǔ.

Lu Mingyu’s eyes flickered slightly, and she said calmly, “Don’t worry, Dad! If anyone dares to put their hands into the mansion, I will chop off their hands!”

Lu Lin smiled approvingly: “That’s right! This is my, Lu Lin’s daughter!”

…

Half an hour later, Lu Mingyu came out of the study.

The night was like water and the sky was full of moonlight.

A slender figure stood under the moon, with his hands behind his back, waiting quietly. The moment he saw Lu Mingyu, his black eyes flashed with a warm smile.

Lu Mingyu’s heart also surged with warmth, and she walked forward with brisk steps: “Didn’t I tell you to go back to the yard first? Why are you waiting here?”

Li Jing put his arm around her shoulders and said with a low laugh, “It’s no fun going back alone, so I might as well come and wait for you.”

Lu Mingyu was already used to such intimacy. She smiled at him, and the young couple walked forward slowly.

Li Jing did not ask any more questions, but Lu Mingyu took the initiative to tell him about the conversation between her and her father in the study.

Li Jing agreed with his father-in-law’s suggestion: “Father-in-law is right. It is safer to stay in Lu’s mansion. Just stay there and I will go to the palace to discuss this matter with my mother tomorrow.”
