Whose cub am I pregnant with?

When Zhao Qi returned to Haiyan Palace, an eunuch brought warm water to wash his hands immediately.Zhao Xi noticed that the eunuch at Duan Shui Basin was always peeking at him intentionally or unintentionally, so he asked, "Is there something on my face?"

The little eunuch lowered his eyes hastily, "The emperor's martial arts are extraordinary, and his blessings are profound. The slaves can't help but look at them more when they see it, and want to save some blessings."

Zhao Qi rubbed his chin in front of the mirror, "I'm really a martial artist, hahahahahaha."

After Zhao Qi washed his hands, the little eunuch retreated with the basin in hand, and then slipped out of Haiyan Hall while no one was looking.

Outside Mingcui Palace, a court lady named Fu Die was pacing back and forth anxiously.Seeing the little eunuch coming, he seemed to see a life-saving straw, and rushed to meet him, "Xiao Xiazi, you are here!"

Xiao Xiazi whispered: "What's going on? Why did the emperor return to the palace?!"

Fu Die: "I don't know either! My young master clearly followed what you said, he ate the Sauvignon Blanc that can make a man pregnant, and put No. [-] in the pastry for the emperor to eat. But the emperor didn't respond at all. On the contrary, it was my young master who fell ill as soon as he came back. His high fever persisted, and he returned..." The little maid blushed, "He still grabbed me and wanted to do that with me. Fortunately, I ran fast, otherwise I would have given the emperor Are you wearing a cuckold?"

Xiao Xiazi murmured: "It shouldn't be, how could it be like this..."

Fu Die: "Not to mention, the young master is still sick, what should we do - ask the imperial physician?"

Xiao Xiazi shouted: "No way! Let the imperial physician come and see, if the imperial physician finds out the clue, wouldn't it mean that you stole the medicine!"

Fudie's eyes turned red, "Then what should I do?"

"What can I do," Xiao Xiazi said angrily, "be patient, it will pass after a while."

Fu Die cried and said: "Sure enough, I shouldn't have taken such unknown medicines. It's doing well now, my life is almost lost, what kind of dragon species will be born..."

Xiao Xiazi said impatiently: "You know how to cry when you cry and cry, and crying can solve the problem?! You go back to take care of your son first. I sneaked out. If I don't come back, it will be suspicious."

The Mingcui Palace was noisy all night, but it didn't attract anyone's attention.After all, Jiang Bao'er is just an unfavored male favourite, he doesn't even have a decent position, and now the whole palace is busy working on the Longevity Festival, who has the leisure to care about his life and death.

In April, the weather was completely warm, and Rong Tang lay on the bed for half a month, his body obviously improved a lot, and his face also turned red.Although Zhao Qi didn't go to see him, he asked about his condition every day. After learning that he could get out of bed and walk around, he ate half a bowl of rice to celebrate him.

The day before the Longevity Festival, the Shangyi Supervisor sent a brand-new court dress, and Jiang Dehai helped Zhao Qi try it on.The bright yellow dragon robe symbolizes the ultimate nobility, and the nine majestic dragons are lifelike.But once it was worn on Zhao Qi's body, it seemed to have no effect except to make his skin fairer.

Zhao Qi couldn't help sighing: "I still lack the majesty of an emperor. I think the prime minister's official uniform looks more domineering than my dragon robe, so why not make the dragon robe black in the future."

Jiang Dehai said with a smile: "What is the matter with the emperor, anyone can wear black, but bright yellow, only the emperor can wear it."

Zhao Qi said casually: "Only I can wear bright yellow, but there are many people who can take it off." For example, Jiang Dehai and other eunuchs who served him closely.

Jiang Dehai was stunned for a moment, and then realized: "Isn't it? From now on, the emperor will have three thousand beauties in the harem, and I'm afraid it won't be the slave's job to take off the emperor's dragon robe."

Zhao Qi imagined that when he went back to the palace, the fair and beautiful queen came up to him and took off his dragon robe—ah, this is probably the most ordinary happiness of a man.

Not long after, a court lady came in, it was Jin Ning who was serving Rongtang.Zhao Qi was quite surprised to see her, "But Rong Tang is sick again?"

Jin Ning shook her head, "Your Majesty, Young Master wants to see you."

After many days, Zhao Qi stepped into his bedroom again.Yonghua Palace is the residence of the emperor, and its geographical location and furnishings are all the best, except Ci'an Palace, which is the most suitable for rest.

Rong Tang is still dressed in snow-like white clothes, even though his face has faded, he still has a demeanor that is not stained by dust.

Zhao Qi looked at him, and it was really hard to imagine that this fairy-like flower of Gaoling was the same person as the sick young man who collapsed and vomited blood last time.

Rong Tang also looked at him quietly, his eyes drooping slightly, and he called him after a long time: "Your Majesty."

Zhao Qi said "um", and said without words: "You've lost weight." As soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Qi regretted it.Isn't this nonsense, he has been ill for so long, is he still fat if he is not thin?

Rong Tang said: "The Emperor will be 19 tomorrow."

"Yes," Zhao Qi smiled, "I remember that you are one year younger than me, so you are eighteen."

Rong Tang said "Yes", "The birthday gift is on the table, the emperor can take it himself."

Zhao Qi was stunned - Rong Tang prepared a birthday present for him?real or fake!

"The emperor doesn't want it?"

Zhao Qi came back to his senses, "Yes! Of course!" He walked quickly to the table and saw a long box on the table, "Is it a painting?"

Rong Tang nodded lightly.

Zhao Qi said enthusiastically, "Did you draw it for me?"

Rong Tang looked away, "Yes."

As a great talent, Rong Tang is naturally proficient in all kinds of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.Zhao Qi has only seen his calligraphy, but never admired his paintings.Zhao Qi immediately wanted to open it, "What are you painting?"

Rong Tang said: "Your Majesty, let's go back and have a look."

Zhao Qi stopped his movements and said with a smile, "That's fine."

Zhao Qi was really happy.He originally thought that Rong Tang wanted to see him because he wanted to quarrel with him, but he didn't expect that he could talk to him so calmly and even gave him a gift.Although he still couldn't guess what Rong Tang was thinking, nor did he know the reason for his change of attitude, but as long as Rong Tang could let go of the past grievances and take care of his body, he would be satisfied.

Holding the long box in his hands, Zhao Qi said, "Do you want to attend the Wanshou Festival banquet tomorrow? I have always reserved a seat for you."

Rong Tang was silent for a while, "The Emperor wants me to go?"

Zhao Qi said without hesitation: "Think about it."

Rong Tang smiled lightly, "Okay." He paused, and then said, "When will the emperor move back?"

"No hurry," Zhao Qi said, "we'll wait until you recover."

Rong Tang looked at him, "Move back."

Zhao Qi was taken aback, "Huh?"

"The emperor said, give me everything I want."

"I said so. But..."

Rong Tang interrupted him: "I don't like the emperor living in Haiyan Palace, so I can move back tomorrow."

Zhao Qi didn't understand why Rongtang was so obsessed with this matter.But he lived in Haiyan Palace for a long time, since Rong Tang is almost better, he should go back to his own bedroom.

"Okay." Zhao Qi agreed happily, "Is there anything else you want? Just say it, you're welcome."

Rong Tang said slowly: "Don't worry, there will be a long time to come."

"Oh, then... shall I go first?"

"Go slowly, Your Majesty."

Zhao Qi walked to the door with the scroll in his arms, turned back again, and said to Rong Tang: "Rong Tang, I'm really happy if you can think about it."

Rong Tang remained silent.He really thought about it.

It doesn't matter whether it's guilt or means, as long as you can keep people by your side.

Back at Haiyan Palace, Zhao Qi opened the gift Rong Tang gave him—a peach blossom in full bloom, pink and white, bright and moving, and there was a word "Rong" in the lower right corner of the painting.Zhao Qi couldn't find elegant words to praise, so he just said: "Fuck you! Lao Jiang, frame this painting, and I will hang it on the wall in the future!"

On Longevity Day, Zhao Qi got up early.According to the rules, he had to pay respects to the Queen Mother first, and then take the royal family to the Taimiao to worship their ancestors.

When leaving the Haiyan Palace, it was still dark, Zhao Qi glanced at the side hall opposite, and said, "Prime Minister hasn't gotten up yet?"

Jiang Dehai: "Your Majesty, the Prime Minister returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion last night, and today he will enter the palace together with all civil and military officials."

Zhao Qi arrived at Ci'an Palace and saluted Empress Dowager Wen.

Son's birthday, mother's Good Friday.Too many things have happened these days. Empress Dowager Wen watched Zhao Qi greet her respectfully, feeling a lot in her heart, she helped him up herself, stroked Zhao Qi's vivid eyebrows with her fingertips, and smiled: "Qi'er really grows up!" big."

Zhao Qi sighed, "It would be nice if I could grow a little taller." His height is really worrying, Jiang Baoer is a little taller than him.

Empress Dowager Wen chuckled, "You are one year older, but you still have a child's heart. The empress mother must quickly choose a queen for you. When you have a prince, you must be more prudent."

Zhao Qi was speechless for a while: Ah, here we come again.

The topic of the queen and the prince accompanied Zhao Qi through his breakfast.The royal clan in the third service of the capital waited for a long time in the front hall of the Taimiao, led by several uncles of Zhao Xi, and standing behind them was Zhao Xi's only brother of the same father.Zhao Tong is still the same as the last time Zhao Qi saw him, quiet and humble, always smiling when looking at others, which makes people feel good.

Zhao Qiduo looked at him a few times, then turned and walked into the Taimiao.

The ancestor worship ceremony was cumbersome and lengthy, and lasted for several hours.Finally, when it was over, Zhao Qi had to summon all civil and military officials to issue an edict of amnesty for the world. He didn't have a bite until the palace banquet began at night.

The palace banquet was held in the Longevity Palace. The emperor's relatives, civil servants and military generals enjoyed themselves together. The only person with a special status was Rong Tang who was sitting with the civil officials.I saw him wearing ordinary clothes, sitting alone at a table with no expression on his face.

The champion of the new department was dissatisfied: "Isn't this person the emperor's male favourite? Even if he wants to attend, he should be in the same row as the concubine of the harem. Why did he come to us?"

"Your Majesty has His Majesty's reason for doing this." Tanhua Xu Qiu didn't take it seriously, "Speaking of which, Mr. Rong is extremely talented. I have admired him for many years. If I have the opportunity today, I must have a drink with him!"

The words of the two floated into Rong Tang's ears, but he was also indifferent.One person walked up to him and said, "Can I sit here?"

Rong Tang raised his eyes, met the eyes of the person who came up, and said: "Prince Huai, please do what you want."

Zhao Qi, who was sitting in the highest position, saw this scene and was not very happy.What is Duke Huai going to do? Do you still want to pull Rongtang into his gang? They all say they don't want to.

"Your Majesty," Li Chisu walked forward with a glass of wine in his hands, with smiles in his peach blossom eyes, "I toast the Emperor with a glass, and wish the Emperor a long life."

In front of Empress Dowager Wen and others, Zhao Qi couldn't refuse, picked up the wine glass to greet Li Chisu, and drank half of it.

After toasting the wine, Li Chisu presented his congratulatory gift again, "Your Majesty, I and my father hid a pot of peach blossom wine under the peach grove in the palace 20 years ago. I took it out when I entered the palace last time. , hereby dedicated to the emperor."

Zhao Qi was a little strange.Gifts from others are either priceless or extremely rare, so Li Chisu's gift of a pot of old wine is nothing.

Zhao Qi didn't understand, but Empress Dowager Wen and Xiao Shiqing sitting beside him were like mirrors in their hearts. "Twenty years ago, when Gaozu was in power. At that time, Aijia was just a princess. In the palace, I often saw Emperor Gaozu and the old King Zhaonan exchanging martial arts, talking about the past and the present, and they were closer than brothers."

Xiao Shiqing nodded, "King Zhaonan sent the emperor this jug of wine, he has a heart."

After the two said this, Zhao Qi also understood that Li Chisu was using this jug of wine to remind them of the friendship between Gaozu and the old King Zhaonan.

"I'm terrified." Li Chisu looked at Zhao Qi with a smile, "The emperor doesn't grow a beard today, huh?"

Zhao Qi coughed pretendingly, and changed the subject: "King Zhaonan eats and drinks well, so don't be polite to me."

Li Chisu smiled, "Yes."

Li Chisu returned to his seat and sat down, and suddenly found a note under his plate.He looked around, spread it out and quickly scanned the contents above, got up and left the table.

After that, Empress Dowager Wen felt tired and went back to Ci'an Palace.Many people came to toast to Zhao Qi one after another. Among them were many important cabinet ministers, envoys from allied countries, and clan elders, each of whom had to give some face.After drinking for three rounds, Zhao Qi was faintly drunk, and he didn't even notice that Rong Tang had left the table early.When He Changzhou came, he had already started to drift.

"Your majesty, I also offer you a toast. I hope that in the future, the emperor will, uh... like me more?"

Under the influence of wine, Zhao Qi uttered nonsense, "What is the relationship between Changzhou and Zhen! One glass of wine is not enough, at least three glasses!"

He Changzhou smiled and said: "This is what the emperor said, come here, bring some wine!"

"Your Majesty," Xiao Shiqing frowned, "You are too strong to drink, so don't be greedy."

"It's okay," Zhao Qi's voice softened, "It's my birthday, what's wrong with being drunk once?"

Xiao Shiqing didn't want to talk nonsense with him, so he took the wine glass away from his hand, "The emperor is already drunk."

"Give it back to me, the cup..."

Zhao Qi rushed over to get the cup, how could Xiao Shiqing do what he wanted, stopped his waist with one hand, and said: "Jiang Dehai, send the emperor back to the palace."

Zhao Qi suddenly roared: "Xiao Shiqing!"

The people around fell silent instantly.

I don't know if it's because of the strong aftertaste of the wine, Zhao Qi felt that his whole body was in a panic, he squinted his eyes and looked at Xiao Shiqing for a while, then leaned against him uncontrollably, "Brother Prime Minister..."

Xiao Shiqing steadied him, "Huh?"

"Others have given me presents, what about brother's presents?"

Xiao Shiqing's eyes moved slightly, and his voice was so soft that he seemed to be coaxing a child, "The birthday gift, I will give it to the emperor later."

"Okay..." Zhao Qi responded obediently and closed his eyes.

Jiang Dehai looked at Zhao Qi, and said, "The emperor must have fallen asleep."

Xiao Shiqing: "Well, I'll take him back."

"Prime Minister Xiao," He Changzhou pointed down, "The palace banquet is not over yet, and all the officials have not yet enjoyed themselves. The queen mother and the emperor have left. As the head of all the officials, you should stay and sit in charge. As for the emperor, I hold you He can go back to the palace, anyway, this is not the first time I hug him."

The author has something to say: Little Emperor: Many people can take off my dragon robe.

JJ: Not for me.
