Chapter 473 Princess Zhenguo
Xia Wanniang and the others were a little confused when they received the imperial edict. Now she had inexplicably become the Princess Guardian of the Nation?
However, there was no change for her, except that she had an additional title. She asked the falcon and the Saker Falcon to tell the wolves that she would be away for a while and would bring them food when she returned.
Xu Li was the happiest person. Princess Ling'an's wedding convoy was already on the way, and they were humming songs on their way to the yamen.
When Xiao Chiye and Xia Wanniang returned to North City, they saw him like this and were disgusted.
When the three children saw Xia Wanniang, they ran over and wanted to hug her, but were stopped by Xiao Chiye.
"Dad. What are you doing?" The three children looked at him unhappily.
Xiao Chiye said seriously, "Your mother is pregnant now. It would be bad if you rush over and bump into her stomach."
Three pairs of eyes widened, their faces filled with joy: "Are we going to have a sister?"
Xiao Chiye wanted to cover his face. These three guys all agreed? Return my sister.
Xia Wanniang walked out from behind him, reached out and hugged the three children: "Our children are very well-behaved. They won't bump into me, right?" Then she kissed them on the forehead.
The three children carefully avoided her belly for fear of touching her.
Seeing how careful they were, Xia Wanniang said, "Don't be so careful. I'm not that fragile."
When Aunt Xiao heard the news of her pregnancy, she clasped her hands together and chanted, "Buddha bless you, Buddha bless you."
Xia Wanniang walked up to her and hugged her: "Mom, I miss you, and I also miss the delicious food you cooked."
Aunt Xiao gently hit her on the back: "Do you miss me, or do you miss my cooking?"
Xia Wanniang chuckled: "I've thought about it all."
Aunt Xiao looked at her unhappily, but seeing that her originally small face had lost a lot of weight recently, she felt very distressed: "Come on, I'll go back and make it for you."
Rouyue's belly is now noticeable, and she stands quietly beside Qiuhe and Zhuyao.
Xia Wanniang missed several children's birthdays again, but she still asked Gu Man to send back birthday gifts.
This time, she gave the children some high-quality horses. Zhu Guanglin and the others had been coveting these horses for a long time, but they were embarrassed to compete with the children for them.
Several children gathered around her. Xiao Chiye looked at Xia Wanniang who was being escorted away by the crowd. Was he being forgotten?
Qingfeng walked up to him and patted his shoulder: "Come on, you should go and discuss the negotiation with us!"
Xiao Chiye shook his head helplessly, and went to look for Xu Li with Qingfeng.
Xia Wanniang returned to Bicheng and became a complete idler for a few days. She had delicious food every day and a few caring children to chat with her.
Tell her what happened in the north city during this period. Now it is the autumn harvest, and the people who left before have returned home one after another.
Xia Wanniang took out a lot of farm tools from the space that were available in Luocheng but not here. Both Xuli and Yifeng would use these things, so she only needed to provide them, and she didn't have to worry about anything else.
Aunt Xiao saw that she had been idle for a few days, and she started to look at the map of the northwest again: "You just can't sit still."
Xia Wanniang chuckled and moved closer to sit next to Aunt Xiao: "Mother, the northwest is my fiefdom now, I can't let him live in poverty, right!"
Aunt Xiao shook her head helplessly: "If you can't be idle, then you can't be idle. There are a lot of reasons."
Xia Wanniang pointed to a few places and said, "Mom, I saw these places before when I came back. I want to reclaim them and turn them into rice fields..."
As Aunt Xiao listened to her plans for the Northwest, she was thinking in her heart: If you were here, you would definitely be very happy to see such a plan.
Seeing that she was distracted, Xia Wanniang said, "Mom."
Aunt Xiao came back to her senses and looked at the map on the table: "Where are we talking about?"
Xia Wanniang rested her chin on her hand, thinking about something: "The Northwest is vast and sparsely populated, so it's difficult to find people. I'm wondering if I can recruit some people from outside."
Aunt Xiao saw along the way that compared with other provincial capitals, Northwest Prefecture was indeed vast and sparsely populated. Although it had three cities, the combined area was not as large as Maocheng.
"Now that the northwest is your fiefdom, do the taxes also belong to you?"
Xia Wanniang had never heard of these things: "Is there such a saying?"
Aunt Xiao: "I think you can ask Xu Li. If the tax revenue belongs to you, you can consider exempting it and attracting some people to settle here, or give them good farmland and rice fields. Anyway, there is a lot of land in the northwest."
