My older brother is Gao Huan.

Chapter 318 Brothers, See You Again
"How dare you, you despicable servant, barge into my chambers! Aren't you afraid I'll scream!"

"Hehehe, go ahead and shout, the more you shout, the more excited I get, Your Highness."

"Ah! Don't come any closer! I'm going to scream!"

Yuan Miao shouted loudly, but there was a hint of pleasure in his shout.

After a fierce storm, the rain pattered on the banana leaves.

With a flushed face, Yuan Miao leaned against Gao Yu's chest. Even though she was exhausted, she clung to Gao Yu tightly and refused to let go, unwilling to get off him.

It is said that Zheng Dache taught her this: don't rush to wash or wipe, as this can effectively increase the chances of getting pregnant.

Gao Yu felt a tightness in his chest, and his hand unconsciously stroked Yuan Miao's waist and hips. He couldn't help but sigh that although Zheng Dache was cooperative and Erzhu Yuechan was bold, Yuan Miao was indeed the woman in the family who knew best how to play 'role-playing' with Gao Yu, and her acting skills were quite good.

Having grown up in the palace, she was naturally influenced by her surroundings and possessed an air of nobility. When she played the role of a woman of high status, she was absolutely adept at it.

Also.

She started as a princess, born into a noble family. This advantage is something that even daughters of noble families may not be able to match. After all, without having been in that position, one cannot cultivate that kind of nobility.

As Yuan Miao gradually regained her strength, she propped herself up on her arms, her trembling body making eye contact with Gao Yu.

But Gao Yu glanced at the gradually brightening sky outside the window and quickly stopped her, "Why rush things? Let's do it another day, another day..."

Yuan Miao doesn't care about this or that.
………………

Whoosh whoosh.

His archery skills remained precise, firing arrows in rapid succession, each one hitting the bullseye with pinpoint accuracy!

Heaven has indeed been kind to him; his body can withstand such intense exertion. Despite being pestered by Yuan Miao for a long time, Gao Yu still got up and practiced martial arts in the inner courtyard.

He practiced until he was drenched in sweat before stopping. He deliberately went to Cui Zhifan's room and had a maid serve him while he washed up, while Cui Zhifan played the zither beside him.

After cleaning up, I went to check on Yang Changchu and Erzhu Yuechan. Yang Changchu was used to exercising regularly and was in good health. She recovered quickly after giving birth. Erzhu Yuechan was almost there too, but she was still recuperating.

Childbirth is truly a brush with death for women.

Fortunately, both deliveries went smoothly without any major complications.

The children are all chubby and healthy, inheriting the best genes from both parents.

"Alas, a life of ease can indeed erode one's will."

Gao Yu couldn't help but sigh, thankfully he was disciplined enough.

He reviewed all the official documents that were sent to him. Although Gao Yu had become a hands-off manager in most matters and could not do everything personally, he still needed to know what his subordinates were doing and to keep an eye on the overall situation.

They ordered someone to summon Gao Yue.

"Honglue, when will the princes arrive?"

"If I calculate the timeframe, it should be within the next few days, right?"

Gao Huan had sent his trusted confidant Bilugu to deliver a message long ago. Bilugu was one of the earliest Huai Shuo elders who had followed Gao Huan. Back then, it was he who risked his life to break through the encirclement and lead Gao Yu to rescue Lou Zhaojun, Gao Cheng, and others. He was the most trusted confidant among confidants.

After leaving Luoyang, Gao Huan did not head north directly to Hengzhou, but instead headed east.

The two brothers had not seen each other for nearly three years since they parted ways in Luoyang. They wondered how much Gao Huan and the others had changed.

Two more days passed.

Gao Huan, with his family and guards, successfully arrived in Lu County, Yanzhou, and then traveled north to meet Gao Yu at a courtyard near Juye Marsh.

"Erlang is indeed incredibly powerful now."

Lou Zhaojun looked at the enormous courtyard located beside Juye Marsh and couldn't help but sigh.

Even when the Lou family was at its most prominent, the fortified village they built was not this large.

Too……

No matter how prominent the Lou family is, they are not from a poor place like Huai Shuo. The Yang family, on the other hand, are the real local bigwigs of Taishan County. They have been rich since the Han Dynasty. With so many years of business and the accumulation of so many generations, how could the things they send out be bad?
Consider it an investment in Gao Yu. The Yang family has a close relationship and close ties with Gao Yu, and they will always get a return in the future.

Gao Huan's expression was quite complicated, as if he was recalling something. He couldn't help but chuckle, "Back then, I knew that Erlang would be of immeasurable nobility. Aren't you the same?"

Back then, Gao Yu was still clinging to their side.

Gao Yu is now able to protect them from the wind and rain. After his trip to Luoyang and meeting the emperor, Gao Huan knew very well that if it weren't for the title of "General Tian Ce's brother," Yuan Ziyou might not have thought of him for a while.

During the Huai Shuo period.

Gao Yu was protected by a group of brothers under the title of 'He Liuhun's younger brother'.

Times have changed.

........................

The convoy stopped after reaching a wide open area.

A large number of Xuanjia soldiers rode out on horseback.

Gao Yu led everyone out hunting. Although it was called hunting, it was also a chance to train the newly incorporated soldiers of the Xuanjia Army, with the elders guiding them through some practice.

Gao Huan and his family were also traveling with them.

"Uncle, look at me, my archery skills are now unparalleled!"

Duan Shao rode on his horse, extremely proud.

"Alright, I'd like to see just how much your archery skills have improved in the years since we last met!"

The boys waited for the soldiers to drive the prey over before going hunting with them.

After everyone had left.

Gao Huan then approached Gao Yu's side. "Second Brother, the reason I came to Yanzhou to see you is also due to His Majesty's wishes."

"But His Majesty has issued a decree?"

"Ah."

Gao Huan nodded.

Seeing that Gao Huan's expression was a bit off, Gao Yu couldn't help but make various guesses. Before Gao Huan could speak, Gao Yu preemptively guessed, "Is it related to... Tianbao?"

Gao Huan nodded again, then sighed, "When I went to Luoyang to meet His Majesty in the palace, I learned some news."

News from inside the palace?

Gao Yu hesitated for a moment before speaking, "Could it be... that the Empress is pregnant?"

"Yes, the Empress is pregnant."

Gao Yu remained silent.

Has this day finally come?

Erzhu Ying'e was pregnant and gave birth to a boy.

wrong……

There's no need for a male infant; as long as the delivery goes smoothly, Erzhu Rong will definitely take action against Yuan Ziyou.

The conflict between the two sides has become irreconcilable.

It was simply that Erzhu Rong wanted to perform the 'abdication' in a dignified manner.

"What does your majesty mean?"

"His Majesty asked me to tell you... to train the troops quickly, as he doesn't have much time left."

If Yuan Ziyou and Erzhu Rong were to clash...

They will inevitably have to rely on Gao Yu's help.

Currently, only Gao Yu within the entire Northern Wei territory can provide him with assistance.

other people……

It wasn't that Yuan Ziyou didn't believe it, but rather that he knew they were no match for Erzhu Rong at all.
