The Fierce Farm Girl Has A Secret Space Chapter 2936: Gongben Hao (3)

"Madam, the child isn’t born yet, but Third Sister has already given a nickname ’Hong Dou.’ That’s clearly a girl’s name, isn’t it? So if a boy is born now, won’t he be resentful?" Sini pouted, "So, Third Sister has luckily avoided that."

"Haha, can’t that girl just come up with a few more names?" The Grand Emperor’s noble consort asked.

"You’d have to ask her." Erya shrugged.

Everyone followed and laughed.

In the past, staying up late on New Year’s Eve usually meant falling asleep halfway through, but tonight, because of two newborns, everyone remarkably stayed wide awake, happily keeping vigil until the hour between 11:00 PM to 1:00 AM.

Then, on the first and second days of the New Year, they exchanged greetings, and by the third day, they began visiting their natal homes.

The Empress Dowager hadn’t experienced such lively festivities in years. The Palace was resplendent with opulence everywhere, yet silently lonely. She had always strictly adhered to the protocols and never strayed in the slightest. However, in Budong Village, she felt relaxed, inexplicably relaxed, laughing more times than in half of her previous life.

In a mansion somewhere in the capital city of Jin Country, Shangjing.

A beautiful woman was leisurely sipping tea with a pale-faced man around a fire basin.

Soon after, a man rushed in, "Mother."

The pale-faced man stood up, "Cousin."

"Haohao." Cui Meng hurriedly set down the teacup upon seeing the man, waving him over, "Is there any news?"

The newcomer was none other than Qi Jinghao, the former Han King, although he wasn’t Qi Wei’s son at all. He was the son of Cui Meng and the Saint Lord, with the surname Gongben, and his real name should be Gongben Hao.

The pale-faced man was Yong Cang, whose sorry state was due to the poison Yang Ruxin had given him years ago.

Gongben Hao nodded, "There’s news."

Cui Meng abruptly stood up, "There’s really news about the Saint Lord?" She had been yearning for him for twenty years, just hoping for a chance to meet him.

"He has been escorted into Beijing; the exact location of his detention hasn’t been found yet." Gongben Hao sat back down, taking two sips from the teacup.

"Alas." Cui Meng sighed, "It’s all because of Yang Ruxin." She spat out the last three words through gritted teeth.

The corners of Gongben Hao’s mouth curled.

"That woman is too formidable." Cui Meng furrowed her brows, "We thought she was just a village girl before, so we underestimated her. But now, in our dealings, we must strategically avoid her."

Gongben Hao nodded, "That woman is indeed uncanny." His lips curled into a wickedly alluring smile, "But can she really be avoided?"

"Haohao, what are you thinking?"

"Mother," Gongben Hao raised his eyebrows slightly, "Do you think if war breaks out, she alone can save so many people?"

"And what about the one in the Palace?" Cui Meng’s brows knitted.

"Hmph." Gongben Hao let out a cold laugh, "It’s already beyond his control what to do."

"As long as you have it all figured out." Cui Meng nodded.

At this moment, someone came to report: "Prince Consort, His Majesty summons you."

Gongben Hao stood up, nodded slightly at Cui Meng, and then turned to head to the Palace.

Years ago, Qi Jinghao fled Daxuan, unable to go to Wa Country, he could only go to the neighboring countries. Long ago, he had already figured out a retreat, abandoning Peng Jing but not abandoning the pregnant Wanyan Ningzi.

And with Wanyan Ningzi’s connections, he did indeed find a footing in Jin Country.
