Chapter 217 The General Has No Son 1
Chapter 217 The General Has No Son 1
The capital city of Shangjing is extremely lively today. The main streets are bustling with people coming and going, and the bustling crowds are moving slowly and with difficulty towards the city gate.
Ji Yanli was wearing silver armor and riding a tall horse. Beside him followed a chestnut pony. A five or six-year-old child was riding on the horse, also wearing a custom-made small armor. He rode the horse in a very professional manner, with a very proud expression on his face.
Ji Yanli kept his eyes on the child. Seeing his serious expression and frown, he laughed in his heart.
"Daddy," Cheng Mingdu complained, "Daddy, just look ahead. Why are you staring at me?"
Ji Yanli laughed: "Okay, Dad originally wanted to praise you for your improved horsemanship."
"Of course," Cheng Mingdu said arrogantly, "Don't you see who I learned this from? I can't let my father down."
As he said this, Cheng Mingdu took out a miniature silver spear and practiced it twice on his horse.
The father and son exchanged a few more words. As they got closer and closer to the city gate, they stopped talking and looked serious. The only sounds were the clatter of their horses trampling on the ground and the soldiers' orderly footsteps.
Pingxi General's Mansion.
In the main courtyard, the general's wife Yan Shuyu had not yet gotten up, and the maids and servants outside the door were running around anxiously.
"Madame Wang, what should we do? The general's troops have already entered the city, and Madam hasn't even left yet."
Nanny Wang is Yan Shuyu's wet nurse. Yan Shuyu is too lazy to take care of the affairs in the general's mansion, so she leaves them to Nanny Wang.
Nanny Wang was so anxious that she was sweating. Finally, she stamped her feet and still knocked on the door again.
In the room, Yan Shuyu was sitting astride a man. Her face was shy and timid, but her movements were unambiguous, making the man below unable to help but surrender.
"Hao Yu'er, why are you so anxious? Are you in a hurry to see him?"
He gave all his things to Yan Shuyu, then touched her belly and said, "You and him can have a child now."
Yan Shuyu hit him with her bare hands and spat softly, "Hateful, should I have a child with you or with him?"
The man took her hand and kissed it.
"Of course it belongs to this prince. How can he be worthy of it?"
The knocks on the door became louder and louder, and the two people in the room felt that it was almost time. After all, if they didn't tidy up, the house would probably still be in a mess when Ji Yanli came back from the palace to report.
The fifth prince Ling Feng pinched the soft flesh on Yan Shuyu's body, then quickly put on his clothes and slipped away.
When Nanny Wang came in, she looked at the marks on Yan Shuyu's body and became anxious: "My dear madam, what if the general finds out about you doing this?"
It would have been fine if the general hadn't come back, but he was still acting so recklessly after returning. Nanny Wang felt like her head was about to fall off her neck.
Yan Shuyu didn't care.
It has always been her decision that they can sleep together only if she wants to. If she doesn't want to, even if Ji Yanli is a majestic general in the outside world, he still has to pack up and sleep in the study.
Ji Yanli was born into a peasant family, so it was a blessing for him to marry her, and he had no right to be picky about her.
The maid brought a bowl of medicine.
After their masters finished their work, they would bring them contraceptive soup in time. They had been doing this for the six years since the general was away and had become accustomed to it.
This time Yan Shuyu didn't drink it. She said calmly, "Pour it out. You don't need to prepare it in the future."
Now that Ji Yanli is back, it's time for her to have a child with Ling Feng.
Nanny Wang signaled the maids to leave, and then she personally dressed up Yan Shuyu. Her lover was by her side, so Yan Shuyu's clothes were all very bright, and any one of them would suit the scene today.
After that, the general's mansion became busy.
Ji Yanli came out of the palace and got on the carriage. Cheng Mingdu was already waiting in the carriage, playing with a movable wooden horse in his hand and making a clattering sound with his mouth.
Seeing Ji Yanli come in, he put down the wooden horse and called out, "Daddy."
Ji Yanli responded and held him on his lap. Cheng Mingdu struggled, "Dad, what are you doing?! I'm grown up now. I don't want to sit on your lap. It's so embarrassing!"
Ji Yanli chuckled softly, and after Cheng Mingdu was seated again, he ordered the carriage, "Return home."
Ji Yanli traveled through time six years ago. At that time, his original body was already on the verge of death. In the original world, his original body ultimately did not survive.
Because of his outstanding military achievements and his sacrifice for his country, rewards poured into the general's mansion, and all of them went to Yan Shuyu.
She gave birth to a child for the fifth prince Ling Feng, and told others that the child was adopted, just to leave a descendant for her original self.
After her original body died, she lived in seclusion and rarely went out. Whenever she appeared in front of people, she always looked sad and haggard, and no one really doubted her.
Later, she used her original body's prestige in the army to support Ling Feng, allowing Ling Feng to gain the upper hand when the princes were fighting for the throne, and eventually ascend the throne to become emperor.
After Ling Feng ascended the throne, he publicly praised her several times, saying that she was quiet and dignified, and that she was loyal to the original body. He named her the Lady Protector of the Nation, giving her an extraordinary status.
Their children joined the army and used their original bodies' reputation to quickly climb the ladder, eventually becoming famous generals who defended the country.
As for his original self, both his parents had passed away. He risked his life for his future and married the daughter of a fifth-rank official. Even though his official position later surpassed that of Yan Shuyu's family, people still looked down on him.
After ten years of marriage, they slept in the study almost every day. The last time they slept together, Yan Shuyu said that she couldn't bear the pain of childbirth. After drinking a bowl of contraceptive soup, the original body could only smile bitterly.
After her death, Yan Shuyu gave birth to a child for her original body.
Who cares!
Ji Yanli brought Cheng Mingdu into the mansion.
Cheng Mingdu was obviously a little nervous, and Ji Yanli patted him on the head to comfort him.
"You're back home, why are you acting like a thief?"
Cheng Mingdu immediately puffed out his chest and said, "What do you mean by thief? Dad, you're always slandering me."
Yan Shuyu came out with her servants, her face expression indifferent, not like her husband had just returned from a victory, but rather like her husband had just lost money in a gambling house, it was obvious that she did not like him.
Ji Yanli didn't take her seriously either, but Cheng Mingdu clasped her little hand, bowed, and called out, "Mother."
Yan Shuyu's brows frowned instantly.
She glanced at Cheng Mingdu with disdain, then looked at Ji Yanli with a sneer.
"My dear husband, please explain to me what's going on with this child. I thought you'd been fighting on the battlefield for the past six years. How could you possibly be fighting on a woman's bed?"
Cheng Mingdu felt that this was not a good thing to say, and he looked at his father nervously.
Ji Yanli's expression turned cold.
"Talking nonsense in front of children, is this your cultivation? I think you should just leave this family alone. Use your time to read more books and avoid making a fool of yourself the moment you open your mouth."
Cheng Mingdu had a wet nurse. When Ji Yanli raised him, he was still young. Ji Yanli was busy like a top every day, so he had to find a meticulous and thoughtful wet nurse to take care of the child.
Ji Yanli ignored Yan Shuyu's extremely ugly face and pointed at Cheng Mingdu's wet nurse: "From now on, the housekeeping power will be given to Hui Niang, so that the mansion will not be in such a mess every day."
