The Reborn Lady

Chapter 174

Chapter 174

Autumn of the eighth year of Jinghe.

The refreshing sweet-scented osmanthus fragrance drifted in through the window with the breeze, making Yin Hui, who had just woken up from a good dream, feel better.

In the morning light, Yin Hui took out the envelope that Wei Ruo had just sent back yesterday from under her pillow.

There were two letters inside, one written by Wei Ruo and the other written by his son Wei Heng.

Last winter, the Tatars in the northern border of Wei established a new Khan. It was the New Year, so my father-in-law sent envoys to Tatars to congratulate them, hoping that the two countries could be friendly neighbors for a long time and live in peace. As a result, the Tatar Khan was ambitious and rude, and he even killed the envoys of Wei! When the news came back, my father-in-law was furious, and he led an army of 500,000 to fight after the New Year.

When my father-in-law went there, he brought along his two sons, Wei Ruo and Wei Han, who had led troops before. Not only that, he also brought Dalang, Sanlang, and Xiao Heng.

Erlang was too pampered to learn martial arts, and was not good at riding or shooting. Silang was weak, and was okay for him to patrol the border, but taking part in the war would be tantamount to killing him, so this time both of them stayed in the capital.

Wei Ruo had fought in many battles in the past few years, so Yin Hui was not too worried about him. However, this was her son's first time going to war, and he was still a young boy, so Yin Hui was worried about him.

Fortunately, my father-in-law's expedition against the Tatars was very successful this time, with good news coming one after another. In June, the war officially ended, and the Tatar Khan surrendered to the Wei Kingdom.

The new letter written by the father and son was to tell their family that they had returned to the capital.

After breakfast, Wei Xun went to the palace to study as usual, and Wei Ning also went to the school to listen to the lectures of the female teacher.

The older the children got, the more relaxed Yin Hui felt. She took care of some trivial matters. She called the nanny in charge of the embroidery room and asked her to make autumn and winter clothes for her eldest son this year.

Wei Ruo was always very frugal with words when writing letters, but his son was much more careful. Not only did he write about a lot of his experiences, he also wrote down his current height in the letter, knowing that his mother must be very concerned about his height changes.

Sixteen-year-old Wei Heng is already half a foot taller than Yin Hui!

Young men who practice martial arts tend to have strong bodies. After Yin Hui explained this, the nanny in charge of the embroidery room understood what was going on and left with a smile.

"The prince and his family are coming back. Look how happy you are." Jinzhan was standing nearby. Seeing her master showing a long-lost happy smile, she also felt happy.

Yin Hui looked at her belly, which was already eight months pregnant, and said, "Didn't I tell you to have a good rest? Why are you here again?"

After Jinzhan married Chang Feng, she lived in a separate small courtyard in front of the palace. She gave birth to a fat boy four years ago and is pregnant again this year.

Jinzhan said, "It's a nice day, so I came here to chat with you and relieve your boredom."

Yin Hui asked her to sit down and talk.

As a result, the master and servant had just chatted for a few words when Ji Xianxian came.

Jinzhan took her leave first, and Yingchun and several other maids accompanied the master to entertain the guests.
