Rebirth of the Ming Dynasty: Sixth Generation of Glory, I don't want it

Ming Dynasty, Hongwu 29th year, November

[The Emperor rewarded retired military officials in Jinling. Considering that many meritorious officials had died, the Emperor wanted to give more gifts to those who were still alive. He therefore summoned retired military officials from all over the country to come to the court. On September 20, more than 2,500 people came to the capital in response to the summons. The Emperor personally met with them and repeatedly issued instructions.]

The official report arrived as expected, and Xu put it aside after reading it.

The old man seemed to be very energetic, but seeing so many people, he would have to lie down if he didn't have the strength to support himself.

Then let's put the old man aside for now, my daughter-in-law is the most important thing.

"Xin'er, are you okay? What do you want to eat this afternoon? Mom will make it for you."

"I don't want to eat anything. Don't worry about me, mom. Look, I'm fine."

Zhang Xin had no choice but to stand up, turn around, and wave his arms and legs. He wanted to perform the Five Animal Exercises for Xu on the spot to prove that he could kill a tiger.

"That's great. Your parents have taken good care of you. When you've waited for three months, please ask your mother to come and stay with you for a while. I can also meet my mother-in-law and comfort her."

Xu smiled, pulled Zhang Xin to sit down, and made another suggestion.

A married girl is like spilled water. Xu herself hasn't seen her family for a long time. Of course she misses them, but she can't leave.

The same goes for my family.

Zhang Xin's side was fine. Her two brothers had married one after another, so it was appropriate for Bao to come and see her daughter and stay with her for a while.

"Really? Mother isn't jealous. If you have a real mother, your mother-in-law will be thrown over the wall."

Zhang Xin was grateful in her heart, but she made a weird face on her face.

"You want to throw me out like this? You can't do both of them."

Xu was amused and laughed out loud.

"After I give birth, I will practice martial arts with my mother. Mammy said that I should gain weight after giving birth. I am not thin anymore. The prince scolds me every day."

Zhang Xin pouted.

Ever since she confirmed she was pregnant, Xu was extremely happy and even ordered everyone in the mansion not to tell anyone about the pregnancy before three months.

Xu didn't say anything herself, but every day when Zhang Xin was with her, she would ask about her food and drinks, for fear that Zhang Xin was too shy to speak.

Zhu Di was even more exaggerated, saying that just half a month before Zhu Gaochi asked someone to tell them, he had a dream in which his father gave him a large jade tablet.

He also discussed this dream with Monk Daoyan.

Monk Daoyan asked him to draw the Dagui. After seeing what he had drawn, he told him that it was a jade artifact used by the emperors in ancient times for ceremonies.

This dream is a good omen.

But a good omen would not appear without reason. When Zhu Di was puzzled, Zhang Xin said that she was pregnant.

When Zhu Di thought that Zhang Xin would give birth to a great grandson or granddaughter for the Prince of Yan's Mansion, he became more fond of Zhu Gaochi and stopped scolding him.

For a moment, all the masters in the palace were smiling, and the servants were walking with grace.

The only bad thing, Zhang Xin thinks, is eating too much.

Xu gave Concubine Wu to Zhang Xin, so that this experienced old lady could give Zhang Xin guidance.

Wu Shanggong found various ways to add extra food to her meal.

The belly hasn't gotten bigger yet, but the face has gotten rounder.

So recently Zhu Gaochi liked to pinch her face the most, shouting that her milk fat had come out - her milk fat had come out.

She pinched Zhu Gaochi's belly until it was as thin as a belt, but he refused to change.

"What do you mean by fat? Chi'er has no idea what the word fat is. He is so fat himself and he has the nerve to say that about others."

Xu couldn't help but want to discredit her son.

His daughter-in-law was pregnant, so she had some snacks, but he was very nice and accepted everything that his daughter-in-law couldn't eat.

"Hehehe, the prince can't stand seeing things wasted."

Zhang Xin exonerated Zhu Gaochi.

The fat man was kind-hearted. Seeing that she couldn't eat, he helped her eat, so as to prevent Wu Shanggong, who was specially given to her by Xu, from nagging her.

"You two are good at one time and bad at another. When asked, you still protect me. A bad mother-in-law like me should be thrown out of the wall."

Xu was not happy.

"Hahaha, my mother-in-law is so cute, I can't bear to let her go!"

Zhang Xin came over and hugged Xu's arm and shook it.

"The old dish is still cute, and the praise is really fake. If you don't want to eat it, then don't eat it. I can save some trouble. Is Wu Shanggong okay with it?"

"It's OK. I've stayed at my house before, so I'm quite used to it. By the way, Mom, I want to ask a question."

"what?"

"What if it's a daughter? Will everyone still be so happy?"

Zhang Xin twisted her handkerchief. This time, she felt different from when she was pregnant with Zhanji. It was more like the feeling when she was pregnant with a daughter. She planned to prepare for her mother-in-law first.

"What did Wu Shanggong say?"

Xu reacted and asked back.

"No, it's just that when she mentions it, she always says she's the emperor's grandson. I like my daughter, too. But she doesn't mention it..."

"Well, the older generation is all the same. They just want good luck. It doesn't matter whether it's a boy or a girl. It's not like you can't have children."

Xu touched Zhang Xin's head and just smiled.

"Really?"

"What's there to think about? It's normal to feel uncomfortable when you're pregnant.

When I was pregnant with Chi'er, I kicked your father every day. I don’t know where the resentment came from, but I just didn’t like him.

I'm also worried every day that the baby I give birth to will be missing a finger or toe or something.

Later, people in the palace said that it was normal for a woman to have too many worries during pregnancy.

Concubine Wu has good intentions when she hopes that you will give birth to an imperial grandson. After all, it is the gates of hell. Now that you have a son, you can have any other child in the future.

Just try giving birth to a few daughters and you will know. This is what happened to Wu Shanggong’s mother. She couldn’t find any of her sisters.”

Xu did not say any empty words to comfort Zhang Xin, but just gave her own example and that of Concubine Wu to Zhang Xin.

"Ah, there is such a thing?"

Zhang Xin really doesn’t know.

In her previous life, Wu Shang Gong also followed her, but her mother-in-law never mentioned it.

“Well, give away what you want, and sell what you want.

Her mother finally gave birth to a son and passed away at that time.

After you are born, we will ask the court doctor to prescribe some medicine to avoid having children every two or three years, otherwise it will be too harmful to your body.

Another one is that it’s enough to have a few children. Once you have your own flesh and blood, you can let others have the rest.

It's a life-threatening situation, like my mother, and it's painful."

Zhang Xin was immediately shocked when Xu said this. It seemed that her mother-in-law did not say this in her previous life. It was because of her that she had talked about Zhu Gaochi, saying that Zhu Gaochi did not allow his proper wife to have more children, and that he lingered in the backyard every day. How disgraceful!

Xu misunderstood Zhang Xin's surprised expression and added:

"I'm not trying to stuff someone into your room! If it didn't hurt, I wouldn't tell you this. Chi'er likes you and sticks to you every day. If you have two babies in three years, you'll have to take medicine and get acupuncture like me in the future. This couple is so loving, it's also a problem."

Zhang Xin blushed at first, but the more she listened, the more she felt something was wrong, so she couldn't help but ask:

"Is loving each other not good? I think the way dad and mom are is good enough."

"There is gain and loss, silly! If you are in love, the child will come chasing after you, don't just stick to this belly!"

Xu laughed again, saying that the child was still young and didn't understand anything.
