Xu Shiqiu had thought of many possibilities.

A letter Prince Duan had written to him could be related to Big Brother's family, but it was inconvenient for Big Brother to tell him that he needed this elder to step in.

It could also be that the Prince Duan took the opportunity to remind him, and wanted him to remind his sister again.

Xu Shiqiu thought about many possibilities, but didn't expect that within this letter, Prince Duan would actually ask him if he was prepared to return to the capital.

Furthermore, in this letter, the Prince Duan made it extremely clear that if he were to return to the capital, he would hand over to him the military power that his father had initially under his command next year.

In the end, she even hinted that His Majesty had always been thinking of him.

Regarding this, Xu Shiqiu did not believe it.

Xu Shiqiu didn't know if this letter that Prince Duan wrote was a test from Prince Duan or was from his heart.

Thinking about what Ye Shuo had said when he came, Xu Shiqiu leaned toward the latter answer even more.

But in the next moment, he remembered the identity of the Prince Duan.

The Prince Duan is His Majesty's own little brother. As the prince of a nation, would he do something so unfathomable?

Xu Shiqiu had a suspicious personality in the first place. He would usually think about a lot when there was nothing to do, let alone today's matter.

He couldn't understand it at the moment, and Prince Duan had said in his letter that he was not in a rush. After finding out from Xu Nuanwen that Xu Shiqiu's wife was pregnant, he had even said that he could wait until he gave birth before deciding whether or not he wanted to go to the capital.

Because the Prince Duan's letter stated this, after thinking for a while more, Xu Shiqiu decided to not think about it in advance and wait for this year to pass.

Only, Xu Shiqiu didn't expect that Ye Shuo would deliver another letter to him through Xu Jun in less than two days.

Ye Shuo's letter told him something that the Prince Duan did not say. The Master Xuan Ling who had given him his life previously returned to the capital and was invited by His Majesty to enter the palace to give him his life.

Master Xuan Ling calculated that there would be chaos in the Royal Family from the end of next year until the year after that, and the only person who could solve it was Xu Shiqiu.

The Master Xuan Ling could only guess that the person who could solve this crisis was related to Xu Shiqiu, but it was not the main house of Xu Family, second house, or Xu Nuanwen's family.

So under these circumstances, His Majesty ordered the Prince Duan to secretly send Xu Shiqiu a letter, telling him to return to the capital.

His Majesty and Prince Duan didn't know, but when Xu Shiqiu saw Ye Shuo's letter, he subconsciously thought of his Young Girl.

He was already convinced that the Young Girl was fortunate. If there really was a person who could solve the Imperial Family's turmoil, then it could only be his Young Girl.

But Xu Shiqiu did not want Dong Shu to be involved in these matters.

He was unwilling to let Young Girl participate in these matters, and was also unwilling to let Young Girl consider these matters.

But he really had to return to the capital.

Because of this matter, Xu Shiqiu had no choice but to inform Old Madame Xu of this two days after making things difficult for him.

"Mother, what do you think?" Xu Shiqiu was also very difficult to deal with, he was not familiar with the Master Xuan Ling, but his mother was more familiar with it.

But compared to the royal family, his family's reputation was naturally weaker, "Mother, do you really think that the Master Xuan Ling can calculate it?"

Xu Shiqiu was very worried about one thing right now. If the royal family knew that his Young Girl was blessed, would they forcefully take it away from him?

It was just that he couldn't say these words now, because the Young Girl was sitting right beside him.

Although she didn't pay any attention to what he and her mother were saying, she would definitely pay attention when it came to her.

Seeing Xu Shiqiu's expression, Old Madame Xu understood his meaning, she looked at Xu Shiqiu and nodded, then said: "This matter is very likely to be true, I feel that it is not wise for you to always hide, wait till next year when you go to the capital." After saying this, the Old Madame Xu paused for a moment before continuing, "I think the imperial family will not do what you have in mind. If it really doesn't work, then I will go back to the capital with you guys next year and ask Master Xuan Ling. "

The Old Madame Xu knew the Master Xuan Ling, and when the Spirit Valley Temple was being rebuilt, she donated a lot of money.

Although it was not comparable to the royal family, it was still considered good amongst the noble families in the capital, as well as the officials.

Furthermore, Old Madame Xu had been paying respects to Buddha for many years, so every time she discussed Buddhist scriptures with Master Xuan Ling, they were always on good terms. That was why she said such words at this time.

Seeing his mother agree to this matter, Xu Shiqiu did not bring it up again.

Only, he knew clearly in his heart that next year, he would most likely be unable to return to the capital without Young Girl.

In that case, his peaceful life would be broken.

However, he had no way to avoid this.

Because he had received the two letters from the capital at the beginning of December, Xu Shiqiu was captivated by it and did not notice the passage of time.

When Dong Shu told him that tomorrow was the new year, Xu Shiqiu finally regained her senses, looked at Dong Shu, and said: "These few days your husband has neglected his wife." While speaking, Xu Shiqiu lowered her head and kissed Dong Shu's forehead, "Does my wife feel wronged?"

"I know that my husband has been thinking about something recently and didn't ignore me on purpose. That's why I didn't feel wronged." Dong Shu's eyes lit up as he looked at Xu Shiqiu, as though he had something to say.

Xu Shiqiu saw that she had something to say to him, so he kept guiding her around the corner. Not long after, Dong Shu looked at Xu Shiqiu expectantly and said, "Husband, I heard that there will be a lanterns show in the county next year. Can you bring me there?"

Xu Shiqiu did not expect Dong Shu to say these words, he paused for a moment, then shook his head helplessly at her: "I'm afraid not. Doctor Du said that you will produce it at the beginning of February, and that the fifteenth day of the first month will soon arrive. I'm afraid that you can't even go out to the county.

Every year, the county's lanterns are filled with people. You're pregnant, and you're being pushed around by the crowd. What should we do? "

If the flower lanterns were in the village or town, Xu Shiqiu might bring Dong Shu to take a look, but not in the county.

Dong Shu instantly revealed a sad expression the moment Xu Shiqiu opened his mouth.

But she also understood that Xu Shiqiu was right, she was someone who was about to give birth, he could not go to the county to see the lanterns.

Xu Shiqiu originally thought that Dong Shu wanting to look at the lanterns was just a spur of the moment, but two days later, he realized that something was wrong.

It was as if the Young Girl was especially upset about him not being able to see the lanterns.

"My wife, why do you especially want to see the lanterns?" Xu Shiqiu was a little confused. If he just wanted to see the lantern, he had already seen it at the fifteenth of the eighth month. Could it be that there was something he did not know about?

Dong Shu didn't hide anything from Xu Shiqiu after hearing her question, and directly said: "I had previously heard that you could put on the lantern light during the fifteenth day of the first month. If you write your wish on a lamp and let it float away with the river, it will come true. I saw that my husband had something on his mind recently, so I wanted to go see the lanterns, and then write a lanterns where my husband would let go if he wanted to achieve something. "

Dong Shu spoke with seriousness, but hearing her words, Xu Shiqiu was stunned.

He never thought that Young Girl would think that the reason he wanted to see the lantern all these days was for him.

"My wife, being able to marry you is truly a blessing." Xu Shiqiu looked at Dong Shu, who had finished saying her words seriously. Seeing Dong Shu shyly lowering her head, he then pulled her into her embrace, "My wife, I have been thinking about things these past few days. But I promise you, before you give birth, I will stop thinking about those things and focus on accompanying you." While Xu Shiqiu said these words, he also decided to prepare a set of lanterns for the Young Girl.

At first, Xu Shiqiu thought about setting up the lanterns at home, but after thinking about how there were only these few people at home, he decided to set the lanterns at the open space outside his home.

There was a large empty land outside the Xu Family courtyard that had no home. Xu Shiqiu let Xu Jie measure the land outside first, and in the end, he spent two hours designing the flower lamp assembly area.

Xu Shiqiu tried his best to trick Dong Shu into thinking up a plan. Furthermore, because she couldn't get too close to Dong Shu, he had no choice but to inform Xu Jie and the others of her own arrangements through a letter.

Not only that, Xu Shiqiu had even told Dong Lei to inform him that on the fifteenth day of the first month, he hoped that the villagers of Xiahe Village would be able to make their own lanterns and come to Xu Family to participate in the lanterns' meeting.

If the villagers in the nearby village wanted to participate, they could also come. Even if they didn't use lanterns, they could still come and watch.

Under the efforts of everyone except Dong Shu, over a hundred lanterns of all colors were produced before the fifteenth day of the first month.

Dong Lei also brought Xu Shiqiu good news, all the families of Xiahe Village had also produced dozens of flower lanterns, but what Dong Lei did not say was that the majority of the flower lanterns were raw materials bought by him from Dong Miao's family and sent to different families.

The reason why Dong Lei did that was also because he could tell that Xu Shiqiu cared about Dong Shu and wanted to set up a lanterns meet for him.

He felt that, as Dong Shu's Cousin, he must definitely support Xu Shiqiu at this time.

In these past few days, Old Madame Xu had brought along his servants to make twenty of them. They even personally painted on the lanterns and wrote a few words.

Just that, no one would have thought that although they had prepared everything, Dong Shu was unable to witness this event.

Because before the fifteenth day of the first month could even light up, Dong Shu had made her move.

This was Dong Shu's first time giving birth, so when she felt the pain in her stomach, she thought she was dreaming.

, who was still sleeping beside her, opened his eyes and noticed that something was wrong with her.

Doctor Du told Xu Shiqiu when they were entering the first month of the second month that although Dong Shu would not give birth until the beginning of the second month, there were still many women who gave birth after they were nine months pregnant.

Dong Shu was conceived at the beginning of April, the end of March. To this day, nine months have passed.

But even so, Xu Shiqiu did not expect that Dong Shu would activate it on the fifteenth day of the first month.

At this time, Xu Shiqiu naturally did not have the mood to think about the Flower Lantern Society anymore. He quickly got up, put on his clothes and went out of the house to shout a few times.

Hearing the noise, Lady Li and Ling Xiang woke up very quickly. One of them went to boil water while the other went to invite Doctor Du.

After making sure that they were doing everything according to plan, Xu Shiqiu finally returned to the hut and prepared to wake Dong Shu up.

But what made Xu Shiqiu panic was, even after he called out many times, the Young Girl still did not open his eyes.
