Zhou Heng tossed and turned on the bed, and the more he thought about it, the more frightened he became. Many things that he had doubts about before were finally figured out.

To put it bluntly, it was actually the master of Prince Jing's palace who had great achievements. Ever since the first generation of Prince Jing was canonized, he had actually made the emperor fearful.

For this reason, he did not hesitate to use Emperor Wu's residence as a conferment, and gave his troops the prestigious name of "Jingguo Army". He no longer established a governor of the Northwest Road, and successfully built Prince Jing's Mansion into a dominant local leader of the Northwest Road. This attracted the envy, jealousy and hatred of other high-ranking officials.

When the second generation of Prince Jing arrived, he was Shen Fu's father. Although the Shen family had already lived in the capital and acted as hostages in disguise to show their loyalty, the new emperor was still uneasy and even more fearful of Prince Jing's palace. The Xie family was married, but Prince Jing and Princess Xie, who had been reluctant to give in, still died one after another, including an aborted unborn child.

During this process, the emperor seemed to be very kind and generous. He praised Shen Fu, the prince of the royal family, and praised him for "this is how a child should be born." He also gave him valuables such as black crows that were used by Emperor Wu, and gave them to him openly. The successor will be left with a legacy of jealousy and resentment.

By the time Shen Fu, the third generation of Prince Jing, had already settled for the next best thing, he married a young lady from the Zhou family who had a reputation for being coquettish and willful. However, the emperor who succeeded him was unwavering in his thoughts and encountered another problem. The last ambitious third princess also wanted to take advantage of Prince Jing's palace, so Miss Zhou was knocked into the water in Liuhu Lake in broad daylight, and her maids and maids lost their lives as a result.

Now that I think about it, even if the emperor didn't know about it beforehand, he must have had doubts afterward, and he might have sent someone to find out who did it.

As for giving Shen Fu half a year of filial piety, and pretending to be a good brother and saying that he would be given a marriage in the future, maybe he was thinking of dealing with that bitch of the third princess, and would actually give him a hand in marriage when the time came. This was used to disrupt the plans of the Queen Mother and her daughter and to plot against Prince Jing's palace.

Unfortunately, half a year has not come yet, and his good sister, the third princess, that bitch couldn't wait any longer. The Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet made an effort to intercept Hu, and directly served him and his sons in one pot.

As for Ah Man's escape, first of all, he was young and his mother-in-law's status was not high, so the third princess felt that there was nothing to be afraid of. Secondly, the queen also tried to protect her at that time, and Liang Concubine knew about it in advance, so this happened later. In the matter of entrusting an orphan, she accidentally became his adoptive mother...

Thinking of this, Zhou Heng couldn't help but laugh bitterly and said to himself mockingly:

It turns out that what was shown in those costume dramas is all true. It is said that wealth is found in danger. The wealthy families in ancient times may look like flowers, but in fact every step is as difficult as walking on thin ice!

Thinking of this, this girl who came from the 21st century suddenly had a deeper understanding of what Shen Yi and Shen Fu, the ancient siblings, had experienced these days, as well as her own experience as the unborn Princess Jing.

But she is a modern girl after all, and now that she has seen the whole story clearly, she feels more optimistic:

Maybe I am the reinforcement sent to Shen Fu because God cannot see it!

Shen Fu is kind-hearted in nature and has never thought of collaborating with that bitch of the ambitious third princess. Even though he knew that his parents died under strange circumstances, he still chose to endure it for the sake of the Jingguo Army on the Northwest Road. God must have seen him live like this. It's so difficult that you can't help but let yourself travel through time to help him, right?

In this case, with Ah Man as a precious baby, Shen Fu planning and hard work from afar, and Shen Yi making huge sacrifices, Prince Jing's palace and everyone on his side will eventually get what they want, right?

"Come on, Zhou Heng, keep persisting, Ah Fu will definitely come back safely!" Zhou Heng turned over, put a small quilt on the belly of the little guy who was sleeping sprawled next to him, and fell asleep peacefully...

The days that followed continued peacefully according to the habits of the past year.

First of all, the Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon.

Thinking of last year's unforgettable Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet, Zhou Heng still couldn't help but sigh. He felt that he didn't even want to eat mooncakes, but mooncakes and other seasonal food cannot be ignored, so he came up with an idea. Tell others:

"Actually, I don't know Ah Ma's birthday. The princess only remembered that he was born in the second half of the year. In that case, I thought, on August 15th last year, he lost both his father and his mother. Isn't it his birthday? It's Mother's Day, so why not celebrate August 15th as his birthday? Mid-Autumn Festival is, after all, a good day with flowers and a full moon, what do you think?"

I remember that in the 21st century, European monarchs all had official birthdays. It would be nice to change it if they knew Ah Hao's real birthday.

This proposal was enthusiastically approved by Aunt Peng, a new mother:

"No, your birthday is a mother's day. Ah Heng, when I ask Ah Man when he is older, I will understand your good intentions!"

Chunying, who was also present at the Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet, cleverly followed up by saying:

"Yes, and from that day on, the young master has been following you!"

So the five-year-old little guy had a happy birthday with food and drink, everyone gathered in a circle to clap and sing to him, and everyone said a blessing.

Zhou Heng personally made him a big mooncake. On the mooncake, he used ingredients of various colors to make a pattern of a Pleasant Goat on a blue sky, white clouds, and green grass. He also lit five red candles on the sun.

In order to fear that it would be unlucky to blow out the candle, I switched to lighting it next to the bed that night. The little guy was so excited that he refused to sleep, clamoring to see when the red candle would burn out.

Mooncakes are naturally shared with everyone just like birthday cakes. For this reason, Zhou Heng specially counted the heads, not to mention a few tiger guards, and even the palace guards outside specially asked Chunying to carry them over. We all got a small piece of it, half to celebrate birthdays and half to celebrate Mid-Autumn Festival.

When Aunt Peng saw this, she fed her daughter some mooncake skin into her mouth and coaxed her with a smile:

"Ah Yuan, is this moon cake delicious? You are still young, so you shouldn't be able to eat it, but today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and you will be eight months old today! Also, today is also Brother Ah Yuan's. It’s his birthday, we can have his birthday snacks, so we are lucky!”

The speaker was intentional, and the listener was also intentional. Without telling each other, the mooncakes tasted particularly delicious. Zhou Heng was also inspired by this, and left a few more pieces, and gave the spring peaches to Shen Yi, mother and son, and everyone in the Wu family the next day. I brought them all.

Shen Fengrong had come once before to send a Mid-Autumn Festival gift, and she was quite reluctant to leave when she left. As a result, Chuntao sent her birthday mooncakes like this, and then came again when she came back.

There was a little girl who was about the same age as him. Zhou Heng could tell at a glance that she was the third young lady of the Wu family—

He does look like General Wu, but his sharp tongue is exactly the same as Mrs. Xu:

"Oh, aunt, you are so good-looking. I didn't believe it when my mother told me, so I wanted to come here with Brother Ah Rong! Don't bother me!"

"Auntie, were those mooncakes made by you yourself? They are delicious. Are they the flavor of the capital? Alas, my mother doesn't know how to..."

He chattered a lot, but in the end, Ah Ma next to him couldn't listen any more and shouted that he wanted to take Shen Fengrong out to play. This gave Shen Fengrong, who had been listening silently next to him, a chance to interrupt:

"Aunt, General Wu received news that the troops from the Southwest Road have marched north. It's still unclear where the army has arrived. My uncle sent a letter to report that he is safe, and my mother already knows about it."

"There is some chaos on the Central South Road side. It is said that all forces are causing a commotion. The Queen Mother has already returned to Beijing for this reason..."
