The baby-making system is unreliable

Emperor Bei Cang has already said that no one will make things difficult for him, so it's not a good idea to offend him at this time.

"You've been traveling a long way, why don't you take a rest? I've prepared a dinner tonight. Bring your wife and have a good family gathering together."

Han Xiuqi nodded and did not refuse. He was led by the eunuch to a palace - Diyang Palace.

An hour later, a charcoal fire was burning brightly inside the exquisite hall of Diyang Palace. Inside and outside the house seemed to be two completely different worlds, one was warm like spring, and the other was cold like winter.

"Husband, where... is this? What time is it? Why didn't you wake me up!?"

Yun Xirou woke up slowly and was surprised to find herself in an antique house.

She rubbed her eyes, trying to wake herself up.

This palace was prepared for him by Emperor Bei Cang since he was a child. Everything inside is brand new, but no one has ever lived in it.

"I'm already in the palace. It's almost noon, because... I really don't want to wake you up."

Li Weiyang was lying beside her. Bei Canghuang came with him. In fact, he had already talked with his father.

"Why did I sleep so soundly? It's over, it's over. What should I do now? How can I face people in the future?!"

Yun Xirou turned over in bed, covering her face with her hands and muttering to herself.

She couldn't believe that she could sleep so soundly. The thought that someone might see her defenseless state made her blush and her heart beat fast, and she felt ashamed.

If this happens, how will she have the courage to step out of this door in the future? !

"I covered your ears with my cloak on purpose. What they said was very boring!"

He didn't want those people's words to disturb her sleep, as they were irrelevant in the first place.

Han Xiuqi said jokingly: "Also... no one saw your appearance, so you don't have to worry."

"What are you talking about? Are you trying to cover up your mistake?!"

The more Yun Xirou thought about it, the more ashamed and angry she felt. She wished she could find a hole in the ground to crawl into and never come out.

"Ma'am, you should rest more if you are healthy. It will be good for our children."

"..."

"My belly seems to be showing a bit?! Look! Now that I think about it, it has really grown a lot, but it's not obvious when I put on clothes on a normal day."

Han Xiuqi was in a good mood. He smiled and put his arms around her waist, hugged her from behind, and his fingers fell directly on her smooth belly.

The two of them slept in the same bed every night, and he hugged his wife every day, so naturally he could feel it to some extent. He thought she had eaten too much recently and just got pregnant yesterday.

When Yun Yirou heard Han Xiuqi's words, her body stiffened involuntarily. She gently covered her abdomen with her hands and felt the subtle changes there.

Pregnant women have different physiques, so the time it takes to show their pregnancy varies. In fact, when she lies sideways, it is still visible.

Han Xiuqi put his ear against her belly, listening to the movement inside. Although he could not hear anything, a happy smile spread across his face.

"Child, you have to grow up quickly. Daddy really wants to see you soon."

Han Xiuqi spoke softly, and a complex emotion surged in Yun Xirou's heart.

But at this moment, she felt an inexplicable sense of security.

"Okay, this time... it was the child who saved you. I'll try to act as if nothing happened, but I won't let you off next time."

Yun Airou said playfully in his ear, saying that she had slept enough, so she slowly got up, put on her clothes, walked to the window, pushed it open, and a cool air blew in her face.

The snow scene outside the window is so beautiful that it feels like you are in a world of ice and snow.

……

The dinner at night was indeed exquisite, and everything we ate and used was even more royal.

Not many people came, after all, it was a family dinner, only the emperor, empress, three concubines and many princes and princesses came.

By the way, there is also the Crown Prince’s increasingly frail Consort Yu, who is said to have weakened her health from giving birth to a child.

In his arms was the three-year-old grandson. The little kid was very young and didn’t seem to talk much.

The other princes and princesses have not yet married, but there are more than ten of them in total.

Han Xiuqi led her to pay respects to the Emperor and Empress, exchanged a few pleasantries, and then found a seat to sit down.

"Crabs are cold in nature, so you can't eat them. Don't you know that you like spicy food these days? This... you can eat it!"

Han Xiuqi ignored Yun Xirou's eager expression as she looked at the crab and picked up other dishes for her.

She was thinking about what dish she could eat and looked around at the dishes on the table for a moment.

"What's wrong with just looking at it?! Getting pregnant is not enough to satisfy your craving for sex!"

Yun Xirou sighed silently, muttered something, and quietly replaced the tea on his table with wine while he was not paying attention.

Han Xiuqi took a sip inadvertently, his expression changed several times, his face remained unchanged, but he glanced sideways at someone who was smirking and shook his head helplessly.

To be honest, it seemed like they were the only couple who came to eat at the entire banquet, while the others were constantly engaged in verbal battles.

As long as the noise didn't get to their heads, they both pretended not to hear and just ate their own food.

Concubine Wen watched the performances of the singers in front of her bored and couldn't help feeling a little bored.

She frowned slightly and said to the emperor not far away: "These songs and dances are really unoriginal and uninteresting. It would be more exciting and interesting to summon the noble women in the capital to perform their talents. What do you think, Your Majesty?"

After saying that, she turned to look at the emperor, only to find that the emperor was staring blankly at Li Weiyang and his wife.

When Concubine Wen saw this, she felt a surge of anger in her heart and turned to ask the Queen.

She gritted her teeth and said, "What does the Queen think?!"

"This is a family dinner. It would be inappropriate to invite noble ladies from the capital! We are hosting a family dinner to welcome the third child. How can we invite outsiders?"

Empress Shangguan didn't want to pay attention to her, so who knew what she was planning.

The emperor frowned, and finally came to his senses and said, "What the queen said makes sense."

"Look, the third child is finally back. He lowered his head and just focused on eating. He must have suffered a lot outside. I'm afraid he must have been hungry!"

As Concubine Wen spoke, she wiped her tears with a handkerchief, as if she felt sorry for the two of them who had no food to eat and had never seen the world.

Concubine Wan watched the situation develop quietly, while Concubine Shu waited to watch the show.

"Well, if that's the case, then summon all the noble ladies in the capital who are above the third rank to enter the palace immediately."

The emperor waved his hand, agreeing to her request, or perhaps he wanted Han Xiuqi to meet more people in the capital.

There were so many young men from wealthy families and wives of officials and noble ladies in the capital who all performed, one after another. There were so many legitimate and illegitimate daughters that it was dizzying to watch.

However, Han Xiuqi was concentrating on feeding his wife, and both of them were full before the performance was over.

Concubine Wen kept saying that the Crown Princess was in poor health, so it would be better to take this opportunity to add a concubine.

He also asked Han Xiuqi what kind of girl he liked and whether he wanted to take a concubine? !

As a result, Han Xiuqi couldn't help but laugh and said, "Is this girl from Beijing unable to get married? Why is she so eager to get married?"

Moreover, he was pointing at Wu Yuehua, the eldest daughter of Concubine Wen's brother from her mother's side. For a moment, Concubine Wen's face turned green.

There were some laughters around. Many people in Beijing knew that Wu Yuehua was only twenty years old and was no longer young. The reason why she had not married was that she wanted to become a phoenix.

It's just a pity that the crown prince has already married, and the fifth prince Li Gaode is only seventeen years old and has just started thinking about choosing a concubine. The seventh prince Li Ruiming is even younger.

To be honest, Concubine Wen did not want the child to marry these princes. After all, two of them were the Queen's sons, and one was Concubine Yang's son.

She didn't like any of them and had quarreled with her family, but what else could she do? For the sake of the family's honor, she could only try to accept it.

Of course, it was also mentioned that it was time for Li Gaode to marry a prince's wife, and it would be a good idea to find a few good girls.

After all, this is the point. Her niece can't wait a few more years at her age.

In this way, it really seems like she is trying to be a matchmaker for everyone. Yun Xirou just let it go in one ear and out the other. It sounds quite hypnotic.

Han Xiuqi put his arm around her and whispered in her ear, asking in a deep voice, "Bored?!"

Yun Yirou shook her head, looked at her husband who was so close to her, and said in a hoarse voice: "I'm sleepy. I feel sleepy when I'm full."

"Then go to sleep. Who knows when they will finish?!"

After saying that, he pulled Yun Xirou to lean against his arms. Yun Xirou found a comfortable position, closed her eyes and took a nap for a while.

This action again caused a lot of discussion. In the morning, the Third Prince carried her out of the car, and in the evening he behaved intimately under the nose of His Majesty.

They have no intention of performing anymore. I don’t know whether I should envy them or be extremely envious of them?

"Oh, the third brother loves his wife very much, but... why is his wife so sleepy?! Could she be pregnant?"

Concubine Wen's voice was very loud, sharp and piercing, with a hint of weirdness in it, causing Yun Xirou to open her eyes. But before she could react, her eyes were covered by someone.

"Of course, stop making noise. Can't you even let me sleep peacefully?"

This one sentence shocked everyone. Yun Xirou could no longer stay there. She got up from him and sat upright, facing everyone's gazes.

"It will be known sooner or later, Father, Madam, my wife is already more than three months pregnant."

Han Xiuqi actually said this matter so bluntly, his tone was firm and steady.

This news was like a thunderclap, exploding in everyone's heart. The emperor and the queen looked at each other with surprise on their faces.

They obviously did not expect Han Xiuqi to say such words at this time, but they felt that it was only a matter of time.

Everyone else present was so shocked by this sudden news that they were speechless. For a moment, the entire palace fell into silence.

"You guys, you better stay away from my husband and me with your dirty tricks. Don't forget where I came from!!"

Han Xiuqi picked up the untouched golden wine jug on the table, threw it directly on the ground, and looked around coldly.

In his opinion, these medicines are just child's play, but he is trying to show off his skills in front of an expert! !

"This wine has been spiked with something! Who is so bold? Investigate for me!"

Bei Canghuang's eyes opened wide and he suddenly stood up from his seat, his face full of shock and anger. He stared at the wine glass in front of him with wide eyes.

Han Xiuqi had just returned to the palace, and someone actually dared to tamper with his wine. This was simply outrageous!

When the emperor was angry, everyone knelt on the ground, except... the two of them. No one dared to be so bold!

Bei Canghuang's face became extremely gloomy. He clenched his fists tightly, and his joints turned white due to the force.

He could never have imagined that someone would be so bold and presumptuous in his own territory.

His eyes were full of majesty and oppression as he scanned everyone around him, trying to find out who was behind the scenes.

At this quiet moment, arrows flew through the window and headed straight for His Majesty. Everyone was shocked and shouted in panic, "Protect the Emperor!"

Emperor Nu was about to fly up and kick the arrow, but Yun Xirou casually threw the chopsticks in her hand and the cup on the table, blocking the arrow in front of everyone's surprised eyes.

Silver needles flew out of Han Xiuqi's sleeves, and he used his jade flute to block them and protect Yun Xirou. Actually, there was no need to protect her, but he still subconsciously stayed by her side.

Many masked men rushed in. They were tall and strong, and looking at their body shapes... they looked a bit like Mongolians!

The imperial guards outside were alarmed, and then the two sides started fighting.

"Husband, do you need me to do anything?"

Yun Xirou looked at this group of people coldly, as if she didn't take them seriously at all, and took a bunch of grapes from the table with her hand.

The two sides were fighting, the blood was overwhelming, and the fishy smell made her want to vomit, so she ate a grape to calm her nerves.

"Just them? No need, no one of them is strong enough for me to fight!"

Han Xiuqi's eyes turned cold, he stood there motionless, but the silver needles in his hand flew out, and people fell down. These people were not enough for him to deal with.

With his words, Yun Xirou ate her grapes peacefully. When she felt like it, she used the grape seeds to hit the man that Han Xiuqi had hit twice.

Li Weiyuan was even a little excited when she saw someone assassinating someone. She also threw out a white silk and knocked the person to the ground.

For a moment, some drew their swords, some smashed cups, some were afraid, some were crying and some were holding back their tears. The scene was truly chaotic.

It took less than half an hour to end the chaos. Now Emperor Bei Cang's face was completely dark. He waved down the things on the table and directly ordered a strict inspection of the palace ban.

Someone actually came to assassinate him? ! Who is so bold! !

"Very good, you're pretty quick. What do you think of my dignity?! I'm the dignified Lord of Northern Cang, and in one night, first I was poisoned, then assassinated!"

This is simply a great shame and humiliation. What kind of place is the Northern Cang Palace? ! Is it a place where people can come and go as they please?

The emperor was furious and conducted a thorough investigation overnight, causing a long commotion, but it had nothing to do with them.

The couple returned to the palace, did what they were supposed to do, and went to sleep.

……

On the second day, the emperor ordered Han Xiuqi to take up a post in the Ministry of Rites, allowed him to set up his own residence, and rewarded him with a large amount of gold and jewelry.

About three months later, they will also be able to move out of the palace and have their own residence.

In addition, I heard that Concubine Wen was punished and put in solitary confinement for three months.

It is said that those assassins were indeed Mongols who sneaked in under the cover of night. If Concubine Wen had not ordered the summons of the noble lady, they would not have had the chance.

As for the person who drugged the wine, there is still no clue as to who it was.
