Chapter 445 Prince VS Little Brother 45
Lieutenant General Sun replied excitedly, "Your Majesty, last night our army lost 61 men heroically, 139 were seriously wounded, and another 520 were slightly injured. However, compared to this, our victory is truly dazzling. This battle was truly beautiful!"
General Feng also quickly sent this exciting victory news back to Dayong, and for a time the whole government and the country were jubilant.
However, frictions between the two armies continued to occur over the next month.
Finally, after losing two main generals, the enemy had no choice but to retreat.
How could Fu Nanzhan let this defeated army go easily? He immediately led his soldiers in pursuit and killed the enemy, forcing them to abandon their armor and weapons and flee in panic.
At the same time, far away in the capital, since Fu Nanzhan left, the Yong'an Marquis Mansion began to frequently look for various opportunities to meet Xiao Yubai unexpectedly.
This made Xiao Yubai feel extremely annoyed, but he could do nothing about it. After all, he could not restrict other people's freedom of movement.
On this day, Xiao Yubai received a letter from Fu Nanzhan as usual.
When he opened the envelope and saw the words inside, a bright smile immediately broke out on his face.
In the letter, Fu Nanzhan recounted his recent experiences in detail, told Xiao Yubai that everything was going very smoothly, and told him not to worry.
Whenever Xiao Yubai received a letter from Fu Nanzhan, he would be immersed in joy for a long time.
Afterwards, he would take out a pen and paper, and with a slightly clumsy handwriting, he would write down every detail of his daily life, and then carefully seal it and send it to the distant battlefield, hoping that in this way Fu Nanzhan could understand his life conditions in the capital.
Inside the palace's inner chambers, Mo Qin bowed slightly and whispered to Xiao Yubai, "Your Majesty, Concubine Han's due date is approaching in just two months. Do you think it's time to choose a gift for the soon-to-be-born little prince? So, we can prepare this gift early on."
After saying that, she raised her eyes and glanced at Xiao Yubai quietly, with a barely perceptible hint of amusement in her eyes.
In the past few months, Xiao Yubai and the prince have been exchanging letters frequently, and the affection between the two in the letters is almost overflowing from the paper.
The servants in the mansion couldn't help but be amazed by the sweet words and caring greetings, and wanted to roll their eyes.
Although Xiao Yubai is a noble prince, the unreserved display of affection between them really makes others "unable to cope".
After hearing what Mo Qin said, Xiao Yubai was slightly startled at first, then frowned slightly and sighed in annoyance: "Oh, it's all the fault of the Yong'an Marquis' Mansion! Every time I go out, I always run into them. As a result, I rarely have the opportunity to go to the palace to visit Brother Han recently."
Xiao Yubai felt irritated at the mention of the Yong'an Marquisate. Ever since he severed his ties with them, those people still haunted him like ghosts. It was truly abominable.
Thinking back to when Fu Nanzhan woke up, Xiao Yubai, remembering the kindness he had shown his foster parents in the past, specially sent someone to send five hundred taels of silver to his former adoptive parents' home. This was considered the most he could do, as he had repaid the kindness of raising him and completely severed this relationship.
In a sense, her marriage to the Prince Regent's Palace also drew a clear line between her and the Yong'an Marquis's grace of giving birth to her.
"Your Majesty, how about you first choose an item that suits your taste from the storehouse in the palace?" Mo Qin suggested cautiously.
He thought to himself that no matter what, he had to decide on the gift for the little prince first, so that the servants could collect it in advance, so that when Concubine Han gave birth, Xiao Yubai would not be panicked and lost.
After a brief thought, Xiao Yubai's eyes lit up: "Although the items in the warehouse are good, I think it would be more appropriate to go to Caiyinlou to make a unique style for the child."
Caiyinlou is a place that specializes in customizing all kinds of exquisite jewelry for dignitaries. It is famous for its exquisite craftsmanship.
It would be the most appropriate place to create a longevity lock with auspicious meaning and give it to the little prince.
Xiao Yubai did what he said. He stood up immediately and asked someone to bring him his favorite lake blue brocade robe and put it on. He also called Mo Qin and Mo Hua and prepared to set off for Caiyin Building immediately.
At this time, the Yong'an Marquis Mansion was also busy.
Ever since Xiao Yubai married into the Regent's Palace, they have been secretly sending people to monitor the palace's every move.
Seeing Xiao Yubai leaving the house with his entourage, the servant who was following him did not dare to delay for a moment and ran back to report.
In the past, the Yongan Marquis's son and several of his brothers had taken turns creating various "chance encounters" when Xiao Yubai was out, but each time they were met with the cold shoulder from Xiao Yubai, and they never got the slightest advantage. This time, they decided to ask Madam Xiao to take action.
After all, she is their biological mother. They thought that no matter how ruthless Xiao Yubai was, he would not dare to openly offend his biological mother.
If he really dares to do so, he will be labeled as "unfilial" and see how he will survive in this capital in the future!
Little did they know that they had completely forgotten how solemn the ceremony of breaking off the relationship was when the emperor and the regent personally came forward and asked the Ministry of Rites to preside over it.
