It was only after Hui Lan gave birth to Sister Xin that she received a letter from her family that her sister-in-law Zhang had given birth to a son. Mrs. Ding was so happy that she took the initiative to help her take care of the child and gave her the power of housekeeping again.

Li Chengze had a daughter who was ready for everything. He held the child all day long and never let go. After Huilan was born, he had already learned a lot of common sense such as bathing, swaddling, and feeding the child.

Fortunately, Huilan had been working hard to strengthen her body and bones. There is a price for monks to have children. Her cultivation level dropped again. Fortunately, her cultivation level was already low and she did not lose much. Moreover, her body was quite well-forged.

It also indirectly preserved my poor cultivation level, but it still lost a level.

While I was in confinement, I started to retreat and recuperate. After using various spiritual things, I finally recovered my body. I took this opportunity to prepare to break through to the third level of body training.

Even Pei Liang and Li Chengze have broken through the third level of cultivation, but they are the last to fall behind.

She spent three days preparing, and after soaking in medicinal baths for five hundred years, she successfully broke through. Her figure was still graceful and slim. She did not gain weight due to pregnancy and childbirth, but became more radiant and beautiful.

Huilan held the child on her knees, and used her spiritual power to slowly soothe Sister Xin's body, warming and nourishing her meridians inch by inch. This could improve her physique, dredge the meridians, nourish Qi and blood, and make her body stronger.

healthy.

This is also the difference between a family of cultivators and an entry-level cultivator. It distances many people from the starting stage.

This process of warming and nourishing lasts for a full year. This year is a critical period for the growth and development of the baby's meridians and bones, and it is also the beginning. From this period onwards, the benefits of warming and nourishing the body are self-evident.

Seeing her hard work, Li Chengze wanted to share the burden for her, "Why don't you teach me and I'll warm up the child's meridians. It's better than you working hard alone and I'll change hands for you."

Huilan shook her head resolutely, "No, the baby's body is very fragile. If the force is not controlled properly, it will cause devastating damage. Even I can't save it.

I am already very familiar with this strength. If you want to familiarize yourself with the strength again, it will make the child uncomfortable. I'll do it. It's not a big deal for just one year, it's just an hour a day, it doesn't matter."

"All right."

When it comes to his daughter, no amount of caution is too much, so he can only let go of this thought.

"Lan'er, I've been at home for three months. I'm going back to the military camp. I heard that the border is about to move. I have to go back. Can you do it alone?"

"I can do it, don't worry. I've prepared everything for you, including some weapons and medicinal materials. I bought grain and grain in advance and put it in the warehouse in the front yard. You go and see what's missing.

"

"Okay, the arm crossbow I had someone make has arrived. I plan to arm the escort team. This team does not have many people. I will stay in the mansion to protect you."

"Fool, I can protect myself and my daughter. You can take them all away. They all want to earn military honors. It's enough to let the injured soldiers come back to protect me. I will take the opportunity to nurse their injuries and kill two birds with one stone."

"Lan'er, I'm worried about you and the child."

"Believe me, I can protect the child."

"Okay. Then I'll leave Pei Liang to you. I can't refuse anymore."

"Okay, I need him to help us deal with business affairs. We really can't do without him."

"become."

Li Chengze nodded immediately. Although he was very worried, he agreed to Huilan. What she said made sense. Elite soldiers and generals are willing to earn military merits. Even if they stay, they may not necessarily do their best. Why bother? It is better to have more solid confidants.

The next day, Sun Bin and Cao Heng, who were left in the military camp, came back on their own initiative, "Your Highness, madam, is this the little princess? She is so beautiful and her skin is so white."

"Why are you two back?"

Li Chengze asked them both with a smile.

"We are thinking that His Highness will definitely return to the military camp. We are not worried that no one is watching at home. The two of us have always followed His Highness. We are not anxious to grab military glory now. We just want to come back to protect the wife."

The two of them were grateful for Huilan's kindness in recuperating her body, so they voluntarily gave up the opportunity to earn military merit and returned to the mansion to protect their mother and daughter.

"Okay, you will feel more at ease when you come back to Gu. Don't worry, the opportunity will be there for you. We won't be able to go back for a while."

"Yes. Then let's go change clothes first."

The two of them bowed and left.

Li Chengze then smiled with satisfaction and joy at Huilan, "Lan'er, your efforts are not in vain, and not everyone is a blind wolf who doesn't know what is good or bad."

Huilan smiled at him and saw that he was very skillful in holding the child. Sister Xin was sleeping very soundly. This child was very easy to take care of. He would hum when he was hungry or thirsty and cry twice when he pooped. When he saw his parents

He dances and giggles, and has a very lively temperament.

"When do you plan to leave?"

"The day after tomorrow."

Li Chengze looked down at his daughter in his arms, his eyes so gentle that he could drown.

"This kid looks a bit like you, especially his eyes."

Huilan smiled helplessly.

"I also look very similar. What's wrong with looking like me? Am I ugly? She looks like me too. I'm not fat or thick, so don't be afraid."

Li Chengze glanced at her very proudly, gently put his daughter on the crib, and slowly rocked her to make her sleep more soundly.

"I heard that Zhou Ying and the Qian family were fighting fiercely in the palace. Don't you plan to write a letter back?"

"No matter what I write, who will listen to me? I know you are worried that your child will be affected, but you must also understand that they have a biological mother. You have fulfilled your responsibilities, and the rest is what the biological mother should do.

.

I gave them protection and opportunities. If the Qian family can't save their children like this, then it's their lives and they have to accept it."

Li Chengze is obviously more cruel than Huilan.

Huilan sighed and nodded, "Okay."

In fact, she was worried about the child. After all, it was a child born under her own protection.

"Don't worry, if Qian can't pass this test, she won't be able to get any benefits from me in the future. She has the responsibility to protect all the children in the East Palace when you and I are not here. I have made it very clear what I need to say. I don't want to appear.

The second Zhou Ying is selfish and only cares about herself.

If they don't understand the principle of helping each other, then even if they can escape today, they will not be able to escape tomorrow's harm. Sooner or later, their sons will have to pay the price for it."

Li Chengze takes a more long-term view of the problem and hits the nail on the head. This is the difference between men and women.

"You're right, it's just that sometimes I can't do this."

After having a daughter, Huilan's heart became gentler and softer, and she was willing to compromise on some things, such as children, old women and children who were unable to protect themselves.

"You are not ruthless enough, that's not okay. You are the mother of a child. I don't ask you to be ruthless, but you can't meddle in other people's business when you should be indifferent, otherwise you will harm your daughter."

Li Chengze reminded Huilan for the first time.

"I see."
