The courtiers are all at ease.

Most of them are loyal to the emperor and patriotic. Now that the emperor has an heir, naturally he will not mention the matter of adoption.

Now it depends on whether the imperial concubine is male or female, if there are two princesses...

The courtiers were still worried. If there were two princesses, would His Majesty and the Queen Mother be able to accept it?

Especially the empress dowager, who is also getting older, the last time the imperial concubine had a miscarriage was probably a blow.

Suddenly there is such a big hope, if I am disappointed again, I am afraid that I may not be able to make it through.

His Majesty probably won't give up too much, he has no heirs for many years, and two of them come at once, and he is afraid that he has infinite expectations in his heart.

The courtiers speculated on the mind of the superior.

In fact, the emperor now only hopes that Xu Lingyi will give birth safely. During this period of time, watching her belly gradually grow, he also thinks that many pregnant women among the people die at the hurdle of giving birth.

He didn't even think about whether the child was a boy or a girl. If there were two princesses, he would be lucky as long as the mother and daughter were safe with him.

It would be even better if there was a prince, he would no longer have to worry about the succession of his heirs, let alone give his country to others after a hundred years.

As for the queen mother... the queen mother is indeed looking forward to her grandson.

"I am going to make the imperial concubine the empress." The emperor looked indifferent and his voice was cold, as if there was no room for negotiation.

After the emperor announced that the imperial concubine was pregnant, the ministers had already expected such an outburst.

When he was not pregnant, His Majesty had been thinking about being a concubine all day long, and now that he has a child, he is even more impatient.

Of course, the ministers have no reason to object at this moment.

The emperor is wise, but it doesn't mean he is kind.

They knew in their hearts that Xu's succession was already a certainty.

If they sing against His Majesty again, they will probably be punished by His Majesty.

The courtiers praised Xu Lingyi one after another, saying that she is blessed with profound fortune, virtuous and virtuous...she is the mother of the world.

The emperor was elated when he heard this.

It turns out that these veterans are also good at boasting.

He was happier hearing them praise Xu Lingyi than hearing them praise himself.

After the morning court, Shen Qinghuai has been in a state of despair.

Some colleagues who had been friends with him in the past still couldn't bear to see him like this.

"Master Shen, please stay."

"Master Zhao." Shen Qinghuai looked indifferent.

"Brother Shen."

Mr. Zhao sighed in his heart, this Shen Qinghuai is a deeply affectionate person, but his love is deep and lifeless, now it seems that he is not as vigorous as before.

The word love is really harmful.

His Majesty is like this, and so is Shen Qinghuai.

"Brother Shen, I still have a few words to say to you, after all, we have worked together for many years."

"Brother Zhao, please tell me."

"Brother Shen, let's put it down as soon as possible, that one..." Mr. Zhao pointed his finger upwards.

He lowered his voice: "Brother Shen is no longer coveted. You and I have seen His Majesty's deep affection for her. It is not too much to say that it is on the cusp of my heart. When I first entered the palace, I was the same queen. To conceive an heir, what awaits her is a road leading to the sky, and the time of your marriage is short, why should Brother Shen indulge in the past?"

"If Brother Chen really likes her, then he should let it go. It will not be good for you or her reputation."

Mr. Zhao could not bear Shen Qinghuai's current state, but in fact, as a subject, he was more on His Majesty's side.

"For the sake of old love, listen to my brother's advice, get on the tune and leave the capital as soon as possible, the farther you go, the better, and don't go back to Beijing in the future, so you may save your life, and you and your family .”

When Shen Qinghuai was in the capital, everyone would see his "affection" and think of his past with the empress.

Of course it is impossible for the empress to have a bad reputation, then His Majesty will definitely not be able to bear it for long, and will take action against Shen Qinghuai.

Shen Qinghuai was silent for a long time.

His face was as heavy as water, his heart was extremely sour, and his heart seemed to be constricting rapidly.

Why doesn't he know this?

But he could still hear about Xu Lingyi while staying in the capital, and he was closer to her.

If there is a banquet in the palace in the future, he might still be able to take a look at her from a distance.

He still had extravagant hopes for her.

He always felt that she didn't like His Majesty, and she also missed him in her heart.

He used to think that he didn't like her, but he still remembers it now.

When the Japanese came up to save her, her eyes were shining like stars, and when she looked at him, her eyes shone with light.

He knew that this woman liked him.

----

"Wang Bao, how should I deal with Shen Qinghuai." The emperor's face was gloomy, and his words revealed hostility.

The emperor admitted that when he saw Shen Qinghuai's pale face today, he was really happy in his heart.

But now, on the way back to the palace, there is some traffic jam.

As long as he thinks that Xu Lingyi once liked Shen Qinghuai, he will go crazy with jealousy.

Wang Bao sighed in his heart, this Shen Qinghuai was really ignorant, he clearly knew that His Majesty was jealous, so he still came forward.

If you haven't seen him before, His Majesty may still pretend that he doesn't exist.

Now... Your Majesty may not be able to bear it anymore.

"Your Majesty, you are the king, and he is the subject..." Wang Bao said cautiously, and stopped talking about the rest.

How dare a slave like him propose?Only His Majesty can decide for himself.

"I want him dead." The emperor admitted that he was mean.

Facing someone like Shen Qinghuai, his rationality would be a little out of control.

He never asked Xu Lingyi about some things, let alone told others.

Because he is the emperor and the Ninth Five-Year Supreme, he also has his own dignity.

Even if he really wanted to know whether Xu Lingyi liked him more or Shen Qinghuai.

But he never spoke.

If he saw the answer he didn't want to know from Xu Lingyi's eyes, he was afraid that he would go crazy and tear Shen Qinghuai's body into thousands of pieces.

"But if he dies..."

The emperor was also afraid that Xu Lingyi would feel uncomfortable.

She is so kind and weak, if he kills Shen Qinghuai... Will she always miss him in the future.

Just like Shen Qinghuai has been thinking about his dead wife in the past.

Of course the living are inferior to the dead.

He knew that Xu Lingyi liked Shen Qinghuai before, but since she entered the palace, they got along very well every day.

But he was not sure if she liked him, or she still had Shen Qinghuai in her heart?

She seems to have always been gentle and quiet.

The emperor never dared to think about these things.

If Shen Qinghuai didn't appear in front of him, he could still forget about it, but Shen Qinghuai came to block his eyes again.

"Is your master awake?"

Xu Lingyi has been lethargic since she became pregnant.

Yingchun shook her head: "Master should not be awake yet."

The emperor walked in lightly. Xu Lingyi was a light sleeper and didn't like light when sleeping.

There are layers of curtains in her palace, even in the morning, it is still very dark.

The emperor gently opened the curtain of the bed, she breathed shallowly, her black hair spread out on the bed, her bright eyes were tightly closed, and her red lips were slightly raised.

Her hands rested slightly on her pregnant belly.

The emperor looked at her with tenderness in his heart, and the sourness after seeing Shen Qinghuai was suppressed a lot at this moment.

Regardless of whether she liked Shen Qinghuai in the past, who she likes now...

He only needs to know that from now on she will be his, and she can only be under him... Cheng Huan, and can only bear children for himself.

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty." Xu Lingyi opened her eyes. She had just woken up and was a little confused.

"It was I who woke you up." The emperor said apologetically, only then did he realize that his hand had been pressing on her red lips.

"Your Majesty... Is Your Majesty unhappy?"

Xu Lingyi wanted to sit up, but now she has a big belly and it is not convenient for her to move.

The emperor reached out and picked her up, and sat her on his lap.

He didn't expect her to be so sharp.

The emperor sighed, he hesitated, but he met her clear eyes.

In the end he couldn't help but ask her.

"Yi'er, you...do you still like Shen Qinghuai?"

He didn't want to mention Shen Qinghuai's name, but he still couldn't help it.

Xu Lingyi didn't expect the emperor to ask this question suddenly.
