Childbearing system: The royal family is shocked to see their offspring wither away!

Chen Zhining has lived a very leisurely life in the past half month.

Her reaction during pregnancy was not very obvious. She only vomited twice in the first half of the month. System Little Potato said that this was the pregnancy barrier function specially activated by the system to protect the host.

It can shield some of the more severe adverse reactions to pregnancy.

In addition, no one came to the Ninth Prince's Mansion in the past half month! Jiang Zhao didn't show up either!

Jiang Zhao basically lived in the Second Prince's mansion. It was said that the two of them walked the cat and dog every day, which made the emperor so angry that he broke a ruler.

The ruler accidentally broke and got stuck in the crotch of the second prince's pants... o(╥﹏╥)o

The second prince was suffering from hemorrhoids and had not asked Jiang Zhao to visit him recently.

Plus, the emperor was also angry and didn't allow them to fool around, so today, Jiang Zhao could only stay with Chen Zhining.

Jiang Zhao and Chen Zhining don't spend much time together, so it was a bit awkward for them to be together suddenly one day.

The four big maids, Linlang, Liuli, Zhenzhu and Feicui, together with Zhuzi and Songzi who were beside Jiang Zhao, stood in the main hall, waiting to be served as if they were facing a great enemy.

Jiang Zhao and Chen Zhining sat on the left and right of the main hall. On the table were fresh, arranged citrus fruits and crystal clear grapes.

Jiang Zhao had a stern face and said nothing, seeming to be very cold towards Chen Zhining.

Chen Zhining: “…”

The atmosphere was really awkward.

She couldn't help but dry cough twice, and said to Jiang Zhao with a smile: "Your Highness, these are freshly picked grapes today. They are crisp and sweet. Please try them."

"..."

Jiang Zhao coughed twice, "Okay, thank you very much."

After saying this, the two of them stopped talking.

Jiang Zhao's attitude seemed a bit stiff, and to outsiders...it seemed like he didn't want to pay much attention to Chen Zhining.

But ever since Jiang Zhao gave Chen Zhining that box of jewelry and Hetian jade and other things.

The maids around Chen Zhining probably had an idea of ​​what was going on.

It's not necessarily that Jiang Zhao doesn't have the prince's wife in his heart.

It's just that Jiang Zhao seems a bit reckless on the surface, and some things are not easy for him to say. After all, he is a man and has some male chauvinism.

Zhuzi, Songzi and the others could of course see the embarrassment of Jiang Zhao and Chen Zhining, so they immediately found an excuse and sneaked out with their four maids.

Jiang Zhao and Chen Zhining were the only two people left in the main hall.

Jiang Zhao and Chen Zhining couldn't help but look at each other, and then their eyes met for just a moment, and then they immediately looked away.

"..."

Jiang Zhao felt very embarrassed.

How to put it, he couldn't tell what kind of feelings he had for Chen Zhining.

He knew that Chen Zhining was his wife, the legal wife he had married into.

Originally, he felt that he had no feelings for his wife. He had never been interested in love between men and women, and even gave away the concubine given to him by the queen.

But that night was really... chaotic!!

After a night, he tried to avoid Chen Zhining as if he was avoiding a flood or a beast...that was the feeling.

He felt like he was a little crazy, as if he had fallen in love with this feeling.

But he absolutely wants to become a person who is not bound by worldly feelings. He wants to be a man who can stand tall and proud.

However, he was held back by a gentle girl like Chen Zhining! It was really too embarrassing.

Chen Zhining is good-looking and gentle in character. Although she always has a cold feeling towards Jiang Zhao, and a sense of strangeness that keeps him at a distance, Jiang Zhao thinks that...

It was already very good that Chen Zhining treated him like this despite his cold face.

So sometimes, Jiang Zhao would imitate other common people and the sons of other princes and nobles and buy good things for his wife.

Anyway, as long as his wife likes it, he has the money to buy it no matter how expensive it is - in the end, the prince just pays for it.

Jiang Zhao fell into deep thought, his eyes a little blurry.

Chen Zhining was looking at Jiang Zhao from the side and was also embarrassed.

She had never been in love in her previous life, so how could she know how to get along with a man? !

But at the moment, Jiang Zhao is indeed not as good as Chen Zhining had thought before. In fact, Jiang Zhao is quite nice to Chen Zhining.

"..."

The two of them fell into deep thought.

Immediately, Jiang Zhao took the lead in breaking the stiff atmosphere. He touched his nose awkwardly and spoke slowly.

I reluctantly brought up a topic.

"I don't know...the baby in our belly, uh."

"What do you want to name the baby in your belly?"

“Do you have any favorite words?”

Chen Zhining smiled and said, "I don't have any favorite characters. If our grandson is a legitimate child, he should be named after the character 'wen'."

"If it's a girl born of a legitimate family, the character should start with 'Zhao'."

In the royal families of Zhou and Song, the distinction between legitimate and illegitimate children was quite clear. For example, the generation names of legitimate and illegitimate children were very particular.

Even princes like Jiang Zhao were very particular and did not follow generation names casually.

Jiang Zhao's name only has one character, Zhao, and he has no generation name.

Any prince born out of wedlock has no generation name.

The crown prince and the five legitimate princesses were all named with the same generation name as the legitimate princes - De.

The prince's name is Jiang Deyang and the fifth princess's name is Jiang Deyue.

The names all have very good meanings.

I originally wanted to give the fifth princess another generation name with the character "Princess", but then I thought, in the royal family, only the crown prince and the fifth princess are legitimate children, so let's forget about it and just let the fifth princess use the character "De".

A wonderful feeling arose in Jiang Zhao's heart.

He doesn't particularly like children, but if you say...

This child came from his wife's belly. It was his wife's child...

It’s your own biological child...it’s a completely different feeling.

He felt that he wanted very badly to see his and his wife's child.

He couldn't help but ask, "...If it's a boy, what would you like to be called?"

"If it's a girl, what would you like to be called?"

"..."

Chen Zhining fell into deep thought, "...Boy, girl, I think it would be better to give each of them a name."

Because you have to know that what is in her belly are twins, real lotus twins!

Thinking about the rumors outside that Concubine Li had some kind of divine lotus seed...such an outrageous thing.

Chen Zhining couldn't help but reveal a mysterious smile.

After thinking for a while, Chen Zhining said slowly: "...Although I don't know whether this name can be what we want and what we decide, it may still need to be decided by His Majesty and the Queen in the end."

"But if I were to name the child, if it was a boy, I would call him Jiang Wenguang."

"The girl's name is Jiang Zhaojia."

"Wen Guang, Zhao Jia..."

Jiang Zhao muttered these two names, and then a very obvious smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

He said happily, "If it's these two names, I like them very much."

"We will eventually have a son and a daughter in the future. Our Guang'er and Jia'er will both be born! It's just a matter of a few years earlier or later!"

"This name means a bright future and a righteous and auspicious career. It is very obvious that these are words with very good meanings! I like it very much! I'm sure... our children will like it too!"

“Then these two names were decided!”

The Ninth Prince was a little too childish for the first time: "...If this baby is a boy, I'll name him Guang'er, and if this baby is a girl, I'll name her Jia'er."

"The remaining name will be kept for when our second child is born."

Chen Zhining nodded with a smile.

The two of them looked at each other and then chuckled.

It looked like a newlywed couple, secretly rejoicing at the arrival of their child... It's hard to describe what kind of feeling it was, but it was quite mysterious.

Just as he was laughing, Feicui came hurriedly from outside and reported, "Report to the Ninth Prince and the Ninth Prince's Consort."

"Princess, your father and mother are here."

"They also brought four... uh, beautiful ladies."
