At the end of August, the weather gradually became cooler, and the floods in Jiangnan were completely resolved. To everyone's surprise, Guan Weizhen managed the floods very well this time.

They resettled the victims very quickly, helped them rebuild dams and rebuild their homes.

In addition, wealthy businessmen from Jiangnan donated large amounts of food in his name, which greatly reduced the number of deaths among the victims.

Guan Weizhen's reputation in Jiangnan is extremely good.

This time he returned to the palace and was summoned by the emperor for the first time to discuss his merits and reward him.

All of a sudden, the Zhenbei Hou Mansion became the talk of the capital, and everyone's jaws dropped. Anyway, they were stealing the limelight.

On the other side, Concubine Zhen’s belly in Chuxiu Palace was almost seven months old.

She has rarely been out recently, and the last time I saw her was during the Mid-Autumn Festival family dinner, but by that time her belly was already very big, which showed how difficult it is to have twins.

It's almost seven months now. The twins will not be born full term. If nothing happens, there will be an accident.

"Qiu Shuang, is there any news from brother recently?"

Ah Li asked casually while playing with a string of jade beads in her hand.

"Go back to your Majesty, Lord Wen has sent a servant to report that he has already left for the old house."

Recently, Wenze came back from completing his errands. He went to the emperor and asked for a favor. For no other reason than to reward him. Others were promoted and made rich, but he invited Zhi to go back to visit relatives.

Fortunately, the emperor was happy about the flood, so he nodded in agreement and gave him a long vacation.

It may also be that his official position is too idle, and it makes no difference whether he is there or not.

Of course, the reason he used was that the imperial concubine always dreamed of her long-dead mother. In order to make the imperial concubine feel at ease, he went back to clean the old house.

"Let's go. I hope he can go smoothly on his journey!"

He put the jade beads in his hand into the wooden box and then raised his eyes to look at her.

"Tell everyone in Qionghua Palace not to go out unless there are any important matters these days. I guess Chuxiu Palace won't be able to wait long."

"Mother, do you mean Concubine Zhen?" Qiu Shuang didn't finish her words, but her eyes were full of doubts, "But Concubine Zhen seems to be less than seven months old!"

"She is pregnant with twins. Twins always come out earlier than single babies. You might want to ask the nuns if this is the case."

Qiu Shuang suddenly realized, "That slave will keep the slaves below alert!"

The barbarians from the frontier were the first to launch the attack.

The weather has cooled down now. This summer it was rainy in the south of the Yangtze River, causing floods, but the north has been dry for a long time.

The consequence of no rain for a long time is that the grass in the pasture does not grow well and the pasture is not good, so the cattle and sheep will not have enough to eat. Not only will they not be able to grow meat, but they will also die in large numbers.

The food reserves of the barbarians simply cannot guarantee that they will survive this winter.

When they don't have enough food, they can't just wait to die!

So, they began to rob the nearest rich country.

The first to suffer were the cities in the border areas.

Because these barbarians came so suddenly and planned a large-scale attack, the frontier lost two cities in an instant.

That's how the war started.

When the emperor got the news, he was accompanying Concubine Zhen in the Chuxiu Palace. Suddenly he couldn't care about anything and hurriedly summoned the ministers to go to the imperial study room to discuss the matter.

"System, do you think this battle will start?"

[The system is a childbirth system, not a war system, and the host can rest assured that you will give birth to the child safely, and then the mother will be in the most distinguished position along the way, and the war on the border will not affect you. 】

"Okay, I will definitely give birth to my royal son safely!"

The emperor over there also discussed for a long time, and the candidates for the battle were selected round after round, and finally someone mentioned the Marquis of Zhenbei.

The current Marquis of Zhenbei is not someone who can march and fight, so someone took advantage of the situation and mentioned the prince of Zhenbei Hou.

The reason given is that he was able to do so well in this flood, which proves that this person is smart and strategic. Now the generals who can fight are also guarding the border, and the rest are old. .

It’s time for young people to go to the battlefield and serve their country!

Anyway, I don’t know what the emperor was thinking, but he was really convinced. He probably thought that Zhenbeihou was rich and could greatly reduce the pressure on the treasury.

The matter was thus settled.

The emperor asked him to lead 10,000 elite troops to support him, which suddenly brought the Zhenbei Hou family to the forefront.

No matter how loud the public discussion is, the focus of everyone in the harem is not on this at all.

Everyone is staring at Chu Xiugong’s belly!

To be honest, Ah Li thought it was quite funny. She was still in the womb but she was being showered with stars every day. This country was really in a bad state.

Zhenbi still launched the attack one night half a month after dispatching the troops.

Ah Li was sleeping soundly, and the Queen sent someone to invite her.

Who would the family know? After being woken up in the middle of the night, Ah Li really had the desire to kill someone.

She gives birth to a baby when she gives birth, and everyone has to watch. What kind of thing is this? ! ! !

"Your Highness, Your Majesty, please go to Chuxiu Palace. Concubine Zhen is having an attack."

It was Kaori who came here, but seeing that she was dressed without a trace of mess, Ari just felt that the people in the Queen's Palace didn't sleep!

"Okay, I know, I will go there in a moment."

Ah Li wanted to squint for a while, but Qiu Shuang called the little girls to come and dress up.

She is so angry!

When she becomes the master, she must add a condition: no one can disturb her sleep again!

When she arrived at Chuxiu Palace, she saw basins of scarlet water being carried outside, and the people inside were still screaming.

"Ah——! Ah——! It hurts so much! I can't bear it anymore! Ah——! Your Majesty, it hurts so much!——!"

Through the screen, Ah Li could see several midwives helping Xia Nuanchun to walk inside, and then standing and holding on to a long railing.

In short, it looked like he was being tortured, and the concubines and the queen in the back room were frightened to death.

After all, no one has ever seen this battle!

"The imperial concubine is here. Sit down quickly. Concubine Zhen has only started to work for a while!"

The queen's implication was that she might have to wait.

It's just that Ah Li is very strange. Doesn't this concubine Zhen have a system? Isn't it a subsystem? Why does it still hurt like this? Is that system just for the taking? Do you only care about the pregnancy but not the birth?

[Host, you have received 65% of the emperor's distress value. If you work harder, it will reach 80% soon. After completing the task, you will be rewarded with painless childbirth! 】

Okay, okay, wait here!
