Time will make her gradually settle down and become more confident.

At the end of April in late spring, Yuan Pingzhi led a large group of troops to Youzhou.

The journey from Jinling to Jicheng was not too difficult. The first half of the journey was by boat along the route of the Grand Canal. The huge boat was very stable, and people from the south were more familiar with water and would not get seasick, so it was uneventful. However, after getting off the boat in Haijin Town and transferring to a land carriage, the bumpy dirt road made it difficult for many pampered people to adapt.

Gu Xi'en was also very uncomfortable with it. Years of war had left the north desolate, and even the official roads were uneven due to lack of repairs. In addition, the weather was getting hotter and the north was dry. As they approached Jicheng, Gu Xi'en began to feel uncomfortable.She felt weak at first, and then had pain in her lower abdomen. At first she thought it was menstruation, and she did get red, but then she calculated the date and it was wrong!

Because of Yuan Pingzhi's return to Jinling, he was immediately preparing to go north after being surprised. In all the busyness, Gu Xien neglected that her menstrual period did not arrive on time. It had been delayed for more than half a month.

When the pain in her lower abdomen became more and more severe and became unbearable, she secretly told her dowry.The dowry mama was immediately shocked. When she asked about Gu Xien's situation, she became even more worried - her young lady might have had a miscarriage.

No one expected that Gu Xien would become pregnant so soon. She was really too young.

Yuan Pingzhi himself had specifically ordered his nanny and maid to add some medicinal materials that could help with contraception when Gu Xi'en bathed. He was also worried that his wife would become pregnant if she was too young, which would be harmful to her health.

But despite all the precautions, Gu Xien was really pregnant and had a miscarriage due to fatigue on the bumpy road.

The imperial doctor who followed the northbound team also failed to save Yuan Pingzhi and Gu Xien's first child.

Gu Xien was completely stunned and couldn't even feel the pain in her body.

Her baby is gone?!

How could she not notice the abnormality of her menstruation?How could she not have considered the possibility of conceiving a baby after the couple consummated their marriage?

She kept saying that she wanted to have a baby for her husband, but why was she so careless?

It's all her fault!

As a mother, she didn't know that the baby was already in her belly. How could she be so careless?

Gu Xi'en was so uncomfortable that she could hardly bear it, and she couldn't stop crying in Yuan Pingzhi's arms.

"Stop crying, the imperial doctor said, you should be careful with your body at this time. Confinement is also confinement, and crying at this time is not good for the eyes." Yuan Pingzhi was also sad, but he was more concerned about Gu Xien. She was really too young. Pregnancy or miscarriage at this age would be a great torture.

It was still his fault. If he had not been so anxious to consummate her marriage, if he could have waited patiently for another two years, and waited for everything to fall into place, he would not have caused any harm to her.

Gu Xien sobbed, buried her head in Yuan Pingzhi's arms, and cried: "It's all my fault, it's all me, I'm not a good mother, wu... wu wu..."

She had been crying like this for a long time. Yuan Pingzhen was really afraid that she would hurt her eyes from crying. He sighed and whispered to her: "Don't be sad now. If it hadn't been a bumpy road, nothing would have happened. And the baby would never want to make his mother sad, otherwise he would be uneasy, you know?"

Gu Xien's crying was indeed suppressed.

Yuan Pingzhi continued to comfort her: "I heard the elders say that if the baby goes before it is formed, if the parents really miss him, the baby will come back."

"Really?" Gu Xien raised her red eyes and asked.

Yuan Pingzhi nodded and said, "You have to take good care of your body and make yourself healthy this time. Then we will have a baby. The baby will definitely come back by then."

Gu Xien nodded and held Yuan Pingzhi's hand tightly. She tried hard to cheer herself up, but she couldn't help but shed tears on their clasped hands.

Chapter 10(1)

Five years later.

Jingguo Youzhou Yanjing.

Today's Yanjing is the former Jicheng. Emperor Xuanyu personally named Yanjing three years ago as the new capital of Jingguo.

Today's Yanjing is a large construction site with unprecedented grandeur, with more than 100,000 direct and indirect laborers working hard day and night to build a magnificent new capital.

Five years was only enough time for Yuan Pingzhi to draw a large framework for the Yanjing Circle. The outer city, inner city, imperial city, and Forbidden City were surrounded from the outside to the inside, and the Forbidden City was guarded in the center of the capital.

The Forbidden City is a palace city, a forbidden area for the imperial palace, and the center of the entire capital. It is located on the east-west central axis of the city. It has a magnificent situation and a grand spirit, and is more magnificent than the Jinling Palace.

Now the focus of Yuan Pingzhi's work is to build the Forbidden City, as well as the various gates of the Forbidden City and the Imperial City.

In two years' time, Emperor Xuan Yu will be ready to move the capital. At least the place where he lives must be built first.

Xuan Yu was an impatient emperor. He didn't want to wait until he was gray-haired before moving the capital, so he directly ordered Yuan Pingzhi to speed up the progress of the project and build several houses for him first so that he could have a place to sleep.

The emperor made it simple, but how could his subordinates really dare to give him two rooms?Why should it be built magnificently, so that it can better show the new atmosphere of the new capital?

So Yuan Pingzhi was very tired.

The former pampered playboy has now become a workaholic. He can't wait to work ten hours out of twelve hours a day.

There were problems everywhere in the huge construction site. Although he had tried his best to decentralize power, his perfectionist personality made it difficult for him to truly rest assured. He would inevitably have to do everything by hand. In addition, he often rushed around the construction site. He was now tired, dark and thin, and he felt extremely uncomfortable every time Gu Xien personally took care of him to bathe.

Fortunately, Gu Xien watched him eat on time every day and carefully prepared nutrition for him. Although he was dark and thin, his body was not weak, but he was much stronger and his spirit was always good.

Whenever Gu Xi'en was worried about him, Yuan Pingzhi said with a smile: "When we first got married, you asked me to be busy. I didn't know what to do. I walked the birds and fought the cocks every day. I felt that the days were really long, and each day passed very slowly. But now, it's better. Year by year, I feel that time flies by. It seems that time has passed before I have done anything."

Obviously, he likes this kind of busyness. The busy and fulfilling days make him no longer feel that his years are wasted, make him no longer always lazy, and give him more confidence and sense of accomplishment.

In the past, he felt that there was nothing wrong with being a dandy, but his days were always light, like a bird that couldn't land, and he felt tired even if he didn't do anything.

Now, he finally has his feet on solid ground and is working hard every day.Tired, but not tired, his heart was full of happiness.

The past five years have passed very quickly, and many major events have happened in the country and the family, the most important of which is the "Emperor's Eldest Son Incident".

Two years ago, Xuan Yu sent someone to bring the 13-year-old Yuan Lang back to Jinling, and asked Yuan Lang to recognize his ancestor and return him to the clan. He was named Xuanyuan, the oldest among the princes. This was because of the "Emperor's Eldest Son Incident" that shocked the Jingguo court and everyone.

Yuan Pingzhi himself was also shocked. He really couldn't understand how his obedient concubine nephew suddenly became a prince?

No matter how ridiculous Xuan Yu was, he shouldn't have committed adultery with his courtier and cousin's concubine, right?If it's true, that's ridiculous, right?Is there any lower limit to the moral integrity of this bastard Xuan Yu?

Yuan Pingzhi was so angry that he almost wanted to put down his work and return to Jinling in person to question Xuan Yu and Yuan Xiuzhi: People want face, trees want bark, where is your face?

Gu Xien dissuaded him and asked him to put national affairs first. After all, the construction of the capital was not a piece of cake. How could he just let it go?

Later, the eldest son of the Yuan family, Yuan Xiuzhi, personally sent a sealed letter to his younger brother, explaining in detail the erroneous things that happened at that stall, and finally comforted him: The emperor is the emperor after all, and although he is really too much, just hide it in your heart and pretend not to know, we can't afford to offend him.

Yuan Pingzhi didn't know whether to laugh or cry while holding this letter. For the first time, he knew that his elder brother was also very humorous.

After getting angry, Yuan Pingzhi had no choice but to do it.I don't know whether it is the blessing or misfortune of all the people in the world to meet an emperor like Xuan Yu.

In addition, another thing that bothered Yuan Pingzhi was that Gu Xien had not been pregnant again in the past five years.
