Whose cub am I pregnant with?

Shock and surprise came equally suddenly. Empress Dowager Wen's expression froze, and the overjoyed eyes and corners of her mouth still remained in her eyes, "Xi'er, can you say it again?"

Zhao Qi felt that it would be more effective for Queen Mother Wen to touch and take a look than to talk about it.He pursed his lips, like a child who did something wrong and was waiting to be scolded, and lifted the brocade quilt covering his stomach.

The seven-month-old belly of an ordinary pregnant woman caught off guard and blinded Empress Dowager Wen.

Empress Dowager Wen has lived most of her life, and she has never been frightened like this, she was so frightened that her makeup almost fell off.She pointed at Zhao Qi's stomach, her fingertips trembling, "What is this?"

Zhao Qi blinked, "It's Mengmeng."

Empress Dowager Wen: "...Who is Mengmeng?"

Zhao Qi thoughtfully gave a detailed answer: "It's the child of the Prime Minister and I, and your granddaughter."

Empress Dowager Wen's eyes darkened and she passed out.The last thing I saw was the picture of Zhao Qi with a big belly, struggling to move towards her.

"—the Queen Mother!"

When she woke up again, she still saw her son's face. Empress Dowager Wen felt relieved, thinking that she must have had a nightmare just now.

Zhao Qi's face was full of worry and guilt, and he smiled flatteringly: "Mother, you are awake."

Empress Dowager Wen said "Yes", "Help mother get up."

Zhao Qi helped her and said: "The imperial doctor said that you were overly frightened and fainted for a while. There is no serious problem, but you have to rest at ease and learn to control your emotions, so you can't get angry again."

Empress Dowager Wen was taken aback for a moment, her eyes gradually moved down from Zhao Qi's face, and she came to the protruding belly, as if her eyes were being scorched, she immediately closed her eyes and turned her head, muttering: "It's not a dream, it's real... "

Zhao Qi hugged Empress Dowager Wen's shoulders, understanding it with reason and emotion: "Mother, Mengmeng is my child, your granddaughter, with Zhao's blood running down her body, it doesn't matter who conceived her and gave birth to her." .”

Empress Dowager Wen pushed Zhao Qi away abruptly, pointed at his nose, and said coldly: "What's going on, you can tell the Ai family clearly."

Zhao Qi explained honestly.

Hearing the back, the remaining blood on Empress Dowager Wen's face disappeared, she gritted her teeth and said, "It's fine for Xiao Shiqing to get involved in Dajing's country, but he won't even let the emperor of Dajing go! Such a treacherous villain, the Ai family will definitely Cut his corpse into thousands of pieces to vent the hatred in my heart!"

After such a fuss, and after telling the story for a long time, Zhao Qi was sleepy and tired, and yawned: "The night of the palace banquet was an accident, and he and I were both responsible. The movements of sleeping are mutual, and he slept with me." , and vice versa, I slept with him."

This statement was thought up by Zhao Qi recently, in order to defend his dignity as a man.In the future, if the little princess asks himself how she came here, he can tell his daughter confidently, I slept with your father, so I have you.

Empress Dowager Wen looked at Zhao Qi like a fool, "How could I give birth to such a dishonest and shameless son like you, who happily loses money to others after being sold! Can't you see through Xiao Shiqing's conspiracy?"

"Oh?"

"Xiao Shiqing's intentions are in the world, and he doesn't want to get a bad name for usurping the throne, so he gave you the birth control drug and asked you to give birth to him a son. In the future, your son will inherit the great rule... Heh, it's too easy for him to come here. You'll have it in one fell swoop!"

Life is not easy, Zhao Qi sighed: "If this is the case, why did Xiao Shiqing suddenly delegate power?"

Empress Dowager Wen couldn't figure this out, and said: "Xiao Shiqing acts in a cunning manner, but he must have his reasons for doing so."

"I know his reason."

"Just you?" Empress Dowager Wen sneered mercilessly, "Impossible."

"It's very simple. The reason why Xiao Shiqing doesn't want others to be queen is because he wants to be queen himself."

Empress Dowager Wen looked at Zhao Xi and said, "My son, what kind of ecstasy drug did Xiao Shiqing give you? The empress mother knows that you are lustful, but don't you really want beautiful women instead of Jiangshan?"

"Children make choices. As the king of a country, of course I want everything." Zhao Qi clenched his fists firmly while speaking.

Empress Dowager Wen was silent for a while, and said with a sneer, "I'll tell you how Xiao Shiqing is willing to delegate power. It turns out that he has already fascinated you."

Zhao Qi was startled, and hurriedly said: "My mother's words are wrong! I only like him a little bit, and it's definitely not to the point of being infatuated. Mother's mother, please don't wrong me!"

Empress Dowager Wen glanced at him, glanced at his stomach out of the corner of the eye, and asked, "How can you be sure that this is a daughter?"

Zhao Qi tilted his head and thought for a while, then said confusedly: "I forgot. Anyway, everyone seems to agree that she is a princess."

Empress Dowager Wen's expression was complicated, "What happened to Ai's family?"

"Mother," Zhao Qi held Queen Mother Wen's hand and said, "I knew that after I became pregnant, I didn't want to give birth to the child at first. But due to various reasons, the child stayed longer and longer in my stomach. One day, she suddenly moved—Queen, do you know that feeling?"

Empress Dowager Wen: "...um." How could she not know that when she was pregnant in October, every movement of the baby was a great joy.

"I am reluctant to erase her existence." Zhao Qi said coquettishly, "The queen mother will let me give birth to her."

Empress Dowager Wen sighed, "It's just a princess, you can give birth as soon as you want, and in the future you can still marry a concubine and let others give birth to a prince for you."

"Uh..." Thinking of not letting Empress Dowager Wen suffer too much stimulation at once, Zhao Qi didn't answer her words, "Then, will the empress still want to hand over Xiao Shiqing's military power?"

"Pay it," Empress Dowager Wen said coolly, "why don't you want the military power delivered to your door?"

Zhao Qi said with a headache: "But I am still pregnant and cannot manage the government alone. The cabinet ministers also need one person to make decisions and preside over the overall situation."

"It's okay. With your mother and your grandfather watching, you have nothing to worry about."

"...Then it's better to let Xiao Shiqing continue to sleep with the emperor and the princes."

Empress Dowager Wen said angrily: "Why, you have to follow the example of a married daughter and turn your elbows outward?"

Zhao Qi wrote lightly: "The Xiao family is a foreign family, and so is the Wen family."

Empress Dowager Wen slowly opened her eyes wide, "You...what did you say?"

Zhao Qi didn't want to say this kind of words that hindered the relationship between mother and child. "My queen, I can understand that you want to take this opportunity to cut power. If you insist on this, I will not object. I have learned a lot from the prime minister, and I will try to handle it myself. I don't need others for the time being."

What Zhao Xi said was clear enough that a smart person like Empress Dowager Wen would not fail to understand.She said with a blank expression: "Aijia is tired and wants to rest, the emperor will go back."

"Okay, I just happened to be tired too." Zhao Xi stood up, "Mother, rest at ease, and I will come back tomorrow to greet you."

Three days later, Xiao Shiqing claimed that he was sick at home, and sent support funds to send the Tianji camp warrant, the imperial guards in the capital, the other half of the tiger talisman, and a four-piece set of the prime minister's seal.

Fuzi said: "The prime minister also said, please follow the queen mother in everything, and don't be divorced from the queen mother."

"It's late," Zhao Qi said depressedly, "The queen mother is already angry with me."

Fuzi: "This..."

"You go back and tell the prime minister that I have already told my mother the whole thing. The mother is very angry and the consequences will be serious."

Fu Zi: "Dare to ask the emperor what the consequences will be?"

Zhao Qi raised his head from the mountain of memorials, and said angrily, "All the memorials are approved by myself, is it serious enough?"

Fuzi: "..."

"You tell Xiao Shiqing to think of a way quickly, I can last for a day or two, and if it takes longer, I will die!"

It was night, and Zhao Qi was sitting in front of the desk with a big belly, his eyes were sour, he was yawning, and he was trying to figure out everything.When Xiao Shiqing was ill on the southern tour, he was so tired that he was in charge of the overall situation for a day or two, and he wished he could jump into the river with a dragon egg. "Gossip", compared to the former, the latter is full of wit and vitality, and can be eaten directly as a melon.

For example, Zhao Qiao's "romantic history" spread to the ears of the Queen Mother of Dongying, and Zhao Qiao never showed up again. In all likelihood, he was locked up in a small dark room.Half a month later, Zhao Qiao took the initiative to find people from Tianji Camp, begging them to take him back to Dajing, and said that if he didn't leave, he would be forced to give birth to the Queen Mother of Dongying.

Zhao Qi:?

How can a man give birth to a woman? If Xiaoqiao believes in his words, he can give up his brain and donate it to those in need.Then he replied: Let him give birth, the surname is Zhao, and he will enter the Dajing imperial family.

There was also news from the northern border that the Prime Minister's countermeasures had begun to bear fruit. There was a gap between King Huai and his military advisor Xu Zijing, and Rong Tang would soon replace him.

Zhao Qi stared at the word "Rongtang" wondering.Isn't he in his hometown in Cangzhou? How could he have such a relationship with Zhao Tong?Just as he was thinking, a familiar voice suddenly sounded behind him: "What are you looking at, so engrossed."

Zhao Xi paused, and before he could turn his head, someone bent down and touched his head, "Let me have a look too, huh?"

The faint scent of ink calmed Zhao Qi's impetuous heart. He arched the palm of the visitor, and said with some grievances, "Why did you come here?"

"I have to put on a show." Xiao Shiqing sat down behind him, wrapped his arms around his shoulders, and whispered, "Put you to bed?"

Zhao Qi turned his face sideways, and from Xiao Shiqing's perspective, he could see his curled long eyelashes, "I'm not sleepy, I still have to read the playbook."

"I'll watch for you."

Zhao Qi deliberately said: "It turns out that the Prime Minister didn't come to see me, but to see the memorial."

Xiao Shiqing chuckled, "The two don't conflict."

"What do you think?" Zhao Qi asked, "You really don't want the four-piece suit?"

Xiao Shiqing explained patiently: "With or without them, it makes no difference to me."

"why?"

"Because I have you."

Zhao Qi was speechless for a while, "What time is it, and you still say that there is something and nothing."

Xiao Shiqing looked at the symphony spread out on the table, and said casually: "It is reasonable for the Empress Dowager to promote the Wen family to suppress the Xiao party."

"..." Zhao Qi touched Xiao Shiqing's forehead, "I don't have a fever."

Xiao Shiqing took off Zhao Qi's hand and held it in the palm of his hand, "Party struggle is scary, but it can also be used. From your point of view, it is definitely not a good thing for the Xiao family to be dominant. It just so happens that someone will take action for me, and it will save me from killing my relatives righteously."

Zhao Qi was confused, "Aren't you from the Xiao family, why did you turn your elbows out and come to me?"

"You abduct me, and I abduct you. That's fine. So you follow the queen mother's wish, and I can make other arrangements." Xiao Shiqing changed the subject after watching the melody, "How much money does Rong Tang have?" With a lot of skill, Xu Zijing's matter was settled within a few months."

Zhao Qi frowned: "You forced him to go to Duke Huai?"

Xiao Shiqing opened another notebook, and said calmly: "Everything he did was voluntary."

Zhao Qi sat in Xiao Shiqing's arms for a while, sleepiness struck again, his head moved bit by bit, and finally leaned on Xiao Shiqing's shoulder.Seeing this, Xiao Shiqing directly picked him up and walked slowly towards the bed curtain.

When Zhao Qi was put on the bed, his eyes were opened a little, as if he was drowsy, and when he saw Xiao Shiqing smiled.

"emperor?"

Zhao Qi leaned into his ear, as if to tell a secret: "Brother."

The long-lost address made Xiao Shiqing's heart tremble, "Huh?"

"I... fell in love with my brother."

Xiao Shiqing's chest was hit hard, and his eyes rolled up secretly.

Zhao Qi closed his eyes again, and murmured dreamily: "I'm still pregnant with my brother's child... Her name is Mengmeng."

Xiao Shiqing laughed lightly, and placed a kiss on Zhao Qi's forehead, "Can you change your name?"

When Zhao Qi was half asleep and half awake, his voice was like a kitten, "I can't, I have to call Mengmeng."

"Okay, it's up to you." Xiao Shiqing's kiss came to the corner of Zhao Qi's mouth, "But I will pick the name of the second child, okay?"

"Okay..." After Zhao Qi finished speaking, he fell asleep completely.
