Whose cub am I pregnant with?

When Zhao Qi returned to the side room, Zhao Qiao came up to meet him and handed him tea: "Your Majesty, how is the situation?"

Zhao Qi took a big mouthful of tea and said, "It's done."

Zhao Qiao was overjoyed: "Really?"

"Of course it's fake!" Zhao Xi squeezed the cup hard, "What kind of bad idea did you come up with, it's useless at all, and let me be molested by that apprentice for no reason!"

Zhao Qiao was surprised and said, "This, this shouldn't be!"

Zhao Qi took the veil handed over by the concubine, rubbed his face fiercely, and said while rubbing: "I shouldn't waste time coming to your house to listen to your nonsense."

Zhao Qiao shivered, "Your Majesty, this minister didn't expect that. I really want to share the emperor's worries."

"Then I really thank you." Zhao Qi shook the handkerchief vigorously, "I have decided, you don't want to participate in my Longevity Festival, just continue to restrain your feet."

Zhao Qiao took a breath, "But your majesty, my younger brother rushed back from the fief to the capital just to celebrate the emperor's birthday! Please forgive me once more for the sake of looking at the two bottles of sauvignon blanc!"

Zhao Qili didn't want to talk to him. After taking off his make-up and changing his clothes, he finally gave Zhao Qiao a knife-like look and left. No matter how Zhao Qiao wailed behind him, he didn't look back.

It was still early when leaving the Ninth Prince's Mansion, Jiang Dehai asked: "Your Majesty, are we going back to the palace?"

Zhao Qi suppressed his anger and said, "It's rare to come out once, let's go shopping again."

Zhao Xi was walking around, when a sound of horseshoes approached from far away, people on the street consciously avoided, Zhao Xi followed the crowd and stepped aside.Then, a group of teenagers on horses roared past, leaving behind a cloud of dust.

A girl dressed as a lady stood beside Zhao Xi, with her small face hidden behind the cattail fan, she said to her servant girl, "Looking at the attire of these people, they should be from the He family army."

"That's right, Miss." The servant girl said with a smile, "Did Miss just see General He?"

Hearing the words "General He", Zhao Qi slightly pricked up his ears.

The girl's cheeks were pink, "I didn't look carefully, how would I know."

"But the young lady just realized that her eyes are straight—"

The girl said coquettishly, "What nonsense are you talking about, be careful I will hit you!"

Zhao Qi couldn't help laughing, the girl looked over, with sullen eyes, and hurried away with the maid.

Zhao Qi said to Jiang Dehai: "Unexpectedly, our Changzhou brother is quite popular."

Jiang Dehai said cheerfully: "Little General He is young and promising, he has a bright temper, and is handsome. Since ancient times, beauties love heroes, and there are more than one or two girls in the capital who are greedy for him."

"Is there such a thing?" Zhao Qi said with a smile, "Are there more people who are greedy for Prime Minister Xiao?" Xiao Shiqing is powerful, handsome and expensive, so he should be more popular than He Changzhou.

Jiang Dehai said: "That's not true."

"Oh?"

"The Prime Minister is under one person and above ten thousand people. Even if an ordinary noble girl admires him, she would not dare to think about it. It is better to think about General He Xiao."

Zhao Xi understood, this was probably the difference between the elder brother next door and the high-cold power minister.On a whim, Zhao Qi said: "I remember that Changzhou has been training troops in the suburbs of Beijing these few days, it's still early before sunset, let's go and see him."

In the camp tent on the outskirts of Beijing, He Changzhou was wiping a dagger, and two soldiers knelt straight in front of him—these two soldiers were secretly caught cutting off their sleeves, and then they were pushed to the ground In front of He Changzhou, waiting to be dealt with.

After wiping the dagger, He Changzhou said, "Are you convicted?"

The pawn tremblingly said: "This subordinate is guilty, but the general will punish him."

He Changzhou smiled and said, "Actually, I've seen this kind of thing a lot. But what I'm curious about is, did you cut off your sleeves before, or did you cut them off after you arrived in the military camp?"

The two pawns looked at each other, and one of them said, "Return to the general, this subordinate liked girls before."

"Huh?" He Changzhou became interested, and continued to ask: "Then how did you accept that you have become a broken sleeve?"

The pawn didn't know why the general asked this question, but he said honestly: "Actually, this subordinate has struggled for a long time."

He Changzhou nodded, "I understand you."

"But I can't control my heart." Xiaozu glanced at his lover beside him, and said shyly, "I can't help but miss him, want to see him, and my palms will sweat when I see him... Then one day, watching He smiled at me, and I suddenly gave up. Cut off your sleeves, it’s not something shameful, general, you see that there are four or five men’s restaurants in the south of the city.”

He Changzhou was completely enlightened, "You are right."

At this time, a lieutenant came into the account and reported: "General, a young man surnamed Zhao asked to see him. He said that you will know who he is when you see this jade pendant."

He Changzhou took the jade pendant, his expression changed, he stood up abruptly, and ran to see the owner of the jade pendant.

Outside the camp, Zhao Qizheng looked around with great interest, and saw He Changzhou running towards him from the corner of his eye, and smiled brightly: "Changzhou!"

He Changzhou stopped in front of him, looked down at him, seemed very happy, "Why is the emperor here?"

"Passing by, I'll come and see you." Zhao Qi thumped He Changzhou's shoulder lightly, "It's very majestic to wear armor. Do you have anything to eat? I'm hungry."

He Changzhou didn't speak, just looked at him with a smile.

Zhao Qi:? ? ?

Jiang Dehai reminded: "Little general, the emperor is asking you something."

He Changzhou came back to his senses, and said: "How many rabbits did I kill yesterday, and roasted for the emperor to eat?"

Zhao Qi frowned, "Didn't I tell you not to eat wild game?"

He Changzhou: "The ones in the paddock are not considered wild game."

"That's it, then put less spicy."

He Changzhou put down his military affairs and roasted rabbits with Zhao Qi.

Under Zhao Qi's guidance, He Changzhou roasted the rabbit until the skin was crispy and the meat was tender.In order to take care of Zhao Qi's taste, He Changzhou didn't add any spice, but it didn't affect the taste of the roasted rabbit.Zhao Qi ate two rabbit legs in one go, feeling his mouth was dry, and looked at Jiang Dehai: "Is there any water?"

"Yes, yes," Jiang Dehai said, "it's on the carriage, the slave will go get it right away."

"Drink mine." He Changzhou handed Zhao Qi a water bag, "The water bag was just replaced today, I have never used it."

Zhao Qi said casually, "I don't mind if you use it."

The plug of the water bag was a little tight, Zhao Qi tried several times but failed to open it, so he naturally handed the water bag to He Changzhou, "Here."

He Changzhou laughed, took the water bag, took out the plug easily, and handed it back to Zhao Qi.

"It's amazing." Zhao Qi boasted, drank more than half of the water, and because he drank in a hurry, some overflowed from the corner of his mouth.Jiang Dehai hurriedly took out a handkerchief to wipe it for him, but he wiped it casually with his sleeve twice.

Jiang Dehai said helplessly: "Your Majesty, your sleeve..."

"It's okay, there are so many things in the barracks." Zhao Xi stood up, looked at the endless field, and heard the sound of soldiers training not far away, he couldn't help feeling heroic in his heart, "Excellent!" A good man should dedicate himself to the country like He Changzhou, and a prodigal like Zhao Qiao is wasting taxpayers' money.

He Changzhou said: "Does the emperor want to walk around?"

Zhao Qi, who was still proud just now, said, "But I am too lazy to leave."

He Changzhou laughed, "Shall I take the emperor on horseback?"

He Changzhou brought a fine horse, with black and shiny hair and well-developed limbs, it looked like a horse.He Changzhou said: "This is a BMW I found with great difficulty from Xixia. It was originally intended to be given to the emperor on the Longevity Festival. Now that the emperor is here, let him meet in advance."

Zhao Qi held the ground and said "wow", "Can I touch it?"

"Of course, it belongs to the Emperor."

Zhao Qi stroked the horse's head, BMW let him docilely, and blinked his dark eyes. "What's its name?" Zhao Qi asked.

"I haven't named it yet," He Changzhou said, "The emperor chooses one?"

Zhao Qi racked his brains to think about the verses about horses, "'But let the flying generals of the Dragon City stay, and don't teach the Huma to go to the Yinshan Mountains', maybe it will be my Dajing's good horse to resist foreign enemies in the future—it's better to call it 'Maybe."

He Changzhou: "...as long as the emperor is happy."

Zhao Qi was sitting on his back, and He Changzhou was leading the rein, walking leisurely in the forest.

There are many unknown wild flowers blooming on the hillside, and the spring breeze carries the fragrance of flowers.Among them was a small light blue flower. Zhao Qi looked very cute and said, "What's the name of this flower? I want to plant some in Yonghua Palace."

He Changzhou said: "Aren't there a lot of peonies planted in Yonghua Palace?"

Zhao Qi: "Yeah, it's not a conflict. Home flowers don't have the fragrance of wild flowers."

He Changzhou smiled and said: "Okay, the emperor can plant it. From now on, the emperor can see this flower every day, and he can think of today every day."

"Not necessarily." Zhao Xi said, "I don't think so much." And not all of what happened today is good.

He Changzhou: "...Oh."

Time passed quickly with He Changzhou, and the sun was setting in the west in a blink of an eye, so Zhao Xi had no choice but to go back to the palace.He Changzhou said: "Anyway, there is nothing serious in the camp, I will send the emperor back to the palace."

Back in the palace, He Changzhou learned that Zhao Qi had moved to Haiyan Palace, and frowned, "Isn't Haiyan Palace the place where the prime minister lives?"

"Yeah. Rong Tang is recuperating in Yonghua Palace. I don't want to disturb him, so I moved here to live with the prime minister temporarily."

He Changzhou: "The emperor's explanation really leaves me speechless."

Jiang Dehai said: "The servant is going to change the emperor's clothes, please little General He avoid it for a while."

He Changzhou asked: "Your Majesty, do you want me to avoid it?"

"It's up to you." They are all men, so there are so many rules.

He Changzhou: "Then I won't leave."

Jiang Dehai took off Zhao Qi's coat and brought him a dragon robe to put on.He Changzhou looked at Zhao Qi's narrow waist that was unintentionally exposed, his Adam's apple rolled, and he picked up the cold tea on the table and drank it down in one gulp.

As soon as Zhao Qi changed his clothes, someone reported outside: "Your Majesty, the Prime Minister is back."

Zhao Qi came to the main hall, saw Xiao Shiqing and said, "Prime Minister, I came back on time."

Xiao Shiqing looked at He Changzhou behind him, the displeasure flashed in his eyes, and said lightly: "General He is here too."

He Changzhou said: "I sent the emperor back."

Xiao Shiqing raised his eyebrows, "I remember that the emperor is going to the Ninth Palace."

"I'm gone," Zhao Xi said, "It was still early when I came out, so I went to the suburbs of Beijing."

Xiao Shiqing's tone was indifferent: "Is that so? Since the emperor has returned to the palace safely, General He can step down."

"No hurry," He Changzhou said with a smile, "It's rare for me to be leisurely today, and I want to spend more time with the emperor."

Xiao Shiqing: "There are many people accompanying the emperor in the palace."

"But none of those people are me." He Changzhou said meaningfully, "The prime minister also told me before that we should get closer to the emperor in order to deepen the friendship between the monarch and his ministers - has the prime minister forgotten?"

Xiao Shiqing's eyes narrowed, and then he smiled and said: "I haven't forgotten, the truth has indeed said that I want General He to deepen my relationship with the emperor - the relationship between monarch and minister."

Zhao Qi faintly sensed that the atmosphere was not right, and was about to speak when a chief eunuch rushed over, knelt down in front of Zhao Qi, and said, "Your Majesty, when I was tidying up the warehouse of Yonghua Palace today, I found two things missing."

Zhao Qi asked: "What?"

Eunuch: "Sauvignon Blanc and Sauvignon Blanc No. [-]."

Jiang Dehai said: "Who is so bold that he dares to steal from the emperor's storeroom! How do you do things?!"

The eunuch kowtowed anxiously: "Your Majesty, this servant has already sent people to search, and I will definitely find the things right away!"

Zhao Xi said: "It's not something important, it's okay to lose it. But thieves can happen in the palace, it's not a trivial matter. Check it out, definitely check it out!"

Eunuch: "Slave obeys the order!"

Xiao Shiqing asked: "Sauvignon Blanc...but the medicine Rongtang used last time?"

"Well," He Changzhou nodded, "it's a kind of aphrodisiac. It is said that after taking it, people can see the person they love in their hearts; as for that Sauvignon Blanc No. [-]... Your Majesty, what is it?"

"It's a little thing Zhao Qiao used to trick people." Zhao Xi said, "It's better not to know about it." Otherwise, the three views will explode.

The eunuchs searched for several days but failed to find the lost property, so they had to expand their scope and searched in every palace and palace. Except Ci'an Palace, every house was spared, but there was no trace of the medicine. The person who took the medicine must have taken the medicine, after all, it wasn't something he cared about, so he turned his head and forgot about it.

One day, Zhao Qi was walking in the imperial garden, and happened to see Jiang Baoer leading the remaining beauties in the harem to practice the "peerless magical skills" he taught.He watched it for a while, and invited Jiang Bao'er to praise him: "You did a good job, work harder, and strive to be as strong as an ox."

Jiang Baoer, who has grown stronger, said, "Yes, Baoer must practice more."

Zhao Qi nodded in satisfaction, "Good boy, let's go."

Jiang Bao'er took Zhao Qi's arm, "Bao'er hasn't seen the emperor for a long time, why can't she stay with the emperor for a while longer?"

Zhao Qi felt a chill, and pushed Jiang Baoer away, "You need to change your habit of holding people's arms every now and then, it won't affect you well."

Jiang Bao'er said coquettishly: "Bao'er doesn't treat others like this. Your Majesty, Bao'er recently learned a new kind of pastry, and all the sisters who have tasted it say it's good, and the taste is far better than the imperial dining room. Does Bao'er have the blessing to invite the emperor to taste it?"

Zhao Qi was too lazy to move, and said, "Maybe you bring the cake here?"

Jiang Baoer was taken aback, "Isn't it good that it's in broad daylight?"

Zhao Qi was puzzled, "Why, you have to pick a time to taste your pastries?"

"No, it's not." Jiang Bao'er bit her lip, hesitated for a moment, then smiled, "Your Majesty, wait a moment, Bao'er will order someone to fetch it."

The dessert made by Jiang Baoer, Zhao Qi, had never tasted it before. It tasted sweet but not greasy, and had a soft texture. After eating one, Zhao Qi picked up another one.

Jiang Baoer stared at Zhao Qi, as if trying to find out something strange about him, but he waited and waited, but Zhao Qi still acted like a normal person.

Zhao Qi praised: "That's right, why don't you just switch careers and become a cook, it's much more promising than being a male favourite."

Jiang Baoer forced a smile, and tentatively said: "The emperor really doesn't want to go to Mingcui Palace? Baoer is willing to serve the emperor."

"No," Zhao Xi stood up, "You guys continue to practice, I'm leaving first."
