Zhuo Qihua

Emperor Yongan called Xiaohui and Chang Jing back.When the two learned that their master was pregnant, they cried and jumped for joy.The two also understood why His Majesty wanted to send them to the Queen Mother of Shoukang Palace.The two blamed themselves and had self-examination. Now that they are back with their master, they can't be careless anymore.

Seeing Xiaohui and Chang Jing, Zhuo Ji's first words were: "Don't say anything!"

Chang Jing, whose eyes were still red, said with a smile, "I don't know anything. Master, I haven't been with you for more than two months. I miss you."

Xiaohui: "Master, this servant may miss you too."

Coaxed by Xiaohui and Chang Jing, comforted by Emperor Yong'an, Zhuo Ji pretended nothing happened to him.But there is one person who always makes him pretend to be unable to pass!

Zhuo Ji found out that she was pregnant, although she was unhappy, crazy, and broken, she could only accept it.What he couldn't handle was the big belly, the process of having a baby, not the little thing inside him trying to grow.Having experienced the apocalypse, he would never do anything to kill a young life, let alone the child of him and Emperor Yong'an.

Zhuo Ji accepted the existence of the child in his womb, so Emperor Yong'an didn't have to worry about it.Thinking that his Long'er would be born early, Zhuo Ji already had fetal movement, Emperor Yong'an liked to hold Zhuo Ji's belly and listen to the movement inside.Emperor Yong'an had more than a dozen children, and none of them had received such treatment before they were born.Zhuo Ji silently hypnotized himself every time Emperor Yong'an listened to the movement in his stomach—His Majesty just listened to the sound of intestinal peristalsis in his stomach!

It was cold, so Zhuo Ji took a bath during the day.Even if the light is good during the day, what Emperor Yong'an is most afraid of now is Zhuo Ji bumping into each other, especially in places like the bathroom.Zhuo Ji wanted to take a bath, so Emperor Yong'an accompanied him.Zhuo Ji sat by the edge of the bath, Emperor Yong'an hugged him, listening to the movement in his stomach.Occasionally, when luck is good, Emperor Yong'an can also feel the reaction of spitting bubbles through his belly. Whenever this time, Emperor Yong'an has an old father's smile on his face, and there are a few more wrinkles in the corners of his eyes.

After taking a bath and drying his hair, Emperor Yong'an said: "The sun is fine outside today, let's go for a walk."

Zhuo Ji immediately asked cautiously: "Is it in the yard?"

Emperor Yong'an: "It's in the courtyard."

Zhuo Ji was relieved.

In the courtyard, Emperor Yong'an took Zhuo Ji's hand, who was wrapped tightly, and led him for a walk in the backyard. The surrounding palace people tried not to let themselves look at the master's stomach.Emperor Yong'an said: "It's getting colder and colder, you don't want to go out if you don't want to go out. But you have to move around more in the house."

Zhuo Ji: "I will." He hoped that as soon as he closed his eyes and opened them, the child would come out.

Emperor Yong'an then chatted with Zhuo Ji about state affairs to distract him.In the front yard, Aunt Hua took a few girls from Lijintang to sew maternity clothes for the master.Zhuo Ji made up his mind not to go out before giving birth, and Emperor Yong'an let him not announce it, so he didn't directly order Li Jintang, but asked Aunt Hua, who was originally from Li Jintang, to be in charge of Zhuo Ji's dressing during pregnancy .

Zhuo Ji was crazy, but he was very cooperative when it came to eating and drinking.He cooperated, and Hu Pengju was relieved.After drinking the anti-fetal medicine for three days in a row, Zhuo Ji was still a little curious about the fish that slipped through the net in his belly, except that he was still panicking about his growing belly and the pain during childbirth.

Zhuo Ji took a nap, Emperor Yong'an called Hu Pengju, and said to him: "Shun will give birth prematurely, and his pregnancy may be seven to eight months. You should prepare in advance. Maybe it will be six months."

Hu Pengju was shocked: "But there is something wrong with your body, and the minister didn't find it out?"

Emperor Yong'an: "His body is a little special. Others can't find it out, only he knows it. Don't ask too much, prepare in advance. After the child is born, he will tell the outside world that he was born prematurely."

Hu Pengju thumped in his heart, and nodded hurriedly: "The old minister understands."

After talking with Hu Pengju, Emperor Yong'an went to Shoukang Palace.As soon as the queen mother saw the emperor, she hurriedly asked, "How is Shunxi?" After Emperor Yong'an called Xiaohui and Chang Jing back, he asked Zhang Xian to pass the message, saying that Zhuo Ji knew about it.In the next few days, Zhuo Ji drank the anti-fetal medicine and was in a bad mood. Emperor Yong'an stayed with him all the time and never left Xiangfu Palace.

Emperor Yong'an sat down, with a look of being tormented by his beloved servant, and said: "It's calm, but you can't give him too much thought. If I knew it would be like this, I shouldn't have asked him to give birth to Huang Guixie and the others. He sees others There is nothing wrong with having a baby, and when it is his turn, he is terrified."

Queen Mother: "Who would have thought that he would suddenly have this." After a pause, the Queen Mother asked in a low voice, "Is it male or female?"

Emperor Yong'an: "I didn't ask Hu Pengju, no matter if it's a man or a woman, they are all the treasures of Danyang Palace, my beloved son."

Thinking about it, the queen mother didn't care about whether it was a man or a woman, but said: "I hope I can be a brother, I only need a grandson."

Emperor Yong'an looked forward to it: "I also hope to be Brother Mu, there is only one Brother Wang missing in this palace."

Empress Dowager: "Shunyu is the blessing of Danyang Palace, maybe he is really a brother."

Emperor Yong'an nodded approvingly.

After sitting in Shoukang Palace for a while, Emperor Yong'an went to Huayang Palace.Seeing His Majesty, the Empress asked, "Maybe the minister went to Xiangfu Palace to see Shunxi?"

Emperor Yong'an: "Don't go, just pretend he's pregnant."

Empress Huang didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Can't you take it?"

Emperor Yong'an: "He doesn't want others to stare at his stomach, otherwise I would have announced it long ago."

Huang Guixie: "Shunxi didn't intend to wait until the birth, so that everyone would know about it!"

Emperor Yong'an nodded: "That's what he meant."

Empress Dowager was speechless.

Emperor Yong'an: "He didn't allow Xiaohui and Chang Jing to tell him about his pregnancy." Having said that, Emperor Yong'an sighed, "Let him go, as long as he is happy."

The imperial concubine didn't know what to say, so Emperor Yong'an said: "Remind your concubine and concubine, don't go to Xiangfu Palace to see him if you have nothing to do. Don't tell him about the things you prepared for Long'er By the way, this baby will be born early, maybe at the end of February, not later than April, and you should prepare earlier."

Huang Guixie was shocked: "But Shunxi's bosom is unstable?"

Emperor Yong'an: "Hu Pengju said that judging from his bosom, he won't last until October."

Huang Guixie was worried: "The fetus is too big, will it be dangerous?"

Emperor Yong'an: "If necessary, Hu Pengju will use means to make him give birth earlier, lest the child is too big and has to be cut open. His body can't stand the torment."

Huang Guixie nodded vigorously: "Yes, Shunxi's body can't stand the toss."

After explaining to Huang Guixie, Emperor Yong'an returned to Xiangfu Palace, and ordered Lin Xieshan to enter the palace.Emperor Yong'an said that Lin Xieshan entered the palace to tell him that there was a change in the wet nurse.To Lin Xieshan, Emperor Yong'an said directly: "He is a man of ancient wisdom and will be affected by his previous life. The child's pregnancy period is shorter than ordinary people. He himself is not sure when he will give birth. You need to find more nurses. At the end of the month, at the end of April."

Lin Xieshan suppressed his beating heart and asked, "Is there any damage to Chuchu's body?"

Emperor Yong'an: "No. It's just that Long'er will come out earlier and tell the outside world that it was a premature birth. Only you and Hu Pengju know about this matter."

Only then did Lin Xieshan feel relieved, knowing that this matter must not be spread to outsiders.He asked, "When does His Majesty plan to announce it?"

Emperor Yong'an let out a long sigh: "I don't agree with you."

Lin Xieshan frowned, and Emperor Yong'an said, "He said that when he was born, everyone would know. He didn't want everyone to know and then stare at his belly. If he didn't realize it himself, I would still want to keep it a secret. He On the day I found out, there was a commotion, and Hu Pengju had to prescribe an anti-fetal drug for him for three days. He was also depressed these few days, but fortunately he was cooperative in eating and resting."

Lin Xieshan: "Cuchu is so unacceptable?"

Emperor Yong'an: "He has always regarded himself as a man in his heart. Asking him to have a child is indeed embarrassing him, otherwise I would not have prevented him from giving birth to a dragon heir for many years. If it was not an accident this time, I would not have such an idea. That's all, As long as he is happy, it’s fine if he doesn’t like the announcement. If you see him, don’t stare at his stomach, let alone mention the child in front of you.”

Lin Xieshan nodded.

While talking, Feng Xi shouted outside: "Your Majesty, you have got up."

Emperor Yong'an looked at the grandfather clock in the house, it was indeed the time for Zhuo Ji to take a nap.Leaving Lin Xieshan in the room, Emperor Yong'an got up and went out.Lin Xieshan's heart is by no means as calm as he appears on the surface.After waiting for a while, the door opened, and Emperor Yong'an walked in holding Zhuo Ji's hand.Lin Xieshan saluted: "CuCu."

"Good afternoon, my lord."

"Good afternoon, you."

Emperor Yong'an winked at Lin Xieshan, and Lin Xieshan tried hard to control his eyes not to look at the protruding abdomen that could already be seen.Lin Xieshan's attitude was as usual, and Zhuo Ji was not so embarrassed.

The three sat down and chatted for a while, and Lin Xieshan was "fortunately" given another bowl of chicken soup by Zuo before leaving.Lin Xieshan left, but Emperor Yong'an asked Zhang Xian to pass on the decree. Tomorrow, all the ministers of the Civil and Military Cabinet, King Xian, Prince and King Qi will go to Fengtian Palace to listen to the decree.Zhuo Ji only thought that Emperor Yong'an had state affairs to command, and didn't ask much.

When Zhuo Ji woke up the next morning, Emperor Yong'an was not in bed.Ever since he became pregnant, Emperor Yong'an would wait for Zhuo Ji to get up together.However, Emperor Yong'an had something to do today, so it's not surprising that he left early.Zhuo Ji woke up hungry, so he ate first after washing.There is something in his stomach that can eat and sleep, which makes him become more and more able to eat and sleep.Although he can't accept the fact that he has a child, Zhuo Ji will still fulfill his responsibility as a "father" after accepting this "cruel" fact for the fish that slipped through the net in his stomach.

Fengtian Hall, all the civil and military cabinet members, King Wu and King Xian have all arrived.The crown prince and King Qi were also present.The crown prince supervised the country, and His Majesty suddenly issued an order, and everyone speculated whether His Majesty was going to make another big move.Only the crown prince and King Qi guessed what the father's purpose was today.After waiting for a while, a message from the eunuch came from outside that His Majesty had arrived, and everyone immediately looked serious and prepared to greet him.

Emperor Yong'an walked in with a happy face, seeing His Majesty's expression, all the important officials suddenly felt relieved, it seems that it is not a bad thing.Emperor Yong'an sat down and said straight to the point: "I announced you to come here today because I have something to announce. But don't spread this matter to the outside world, just wait until you know it."

All ministers: "I respectfully listen—"

Emperor Yong'an: "It's been more than three months since you are happy..." As soon as Emperor Yong'an said this, there was a sound of gasping in the room.

King Wu, King Xian, Shi Yu, Nian Qing, Chen Changgeng, Qin Su...all of them stared at His Majesty in shock, and Emperor Yong'an laughed happily and said, "You heard me right, by the way, you are happy. "

Prince: "My son, congratulations to my father! Congratulations to my father!"

King Qi: "My son, congratulations to my father! Congratulations to my father!"

King Wu was shocked: "My brother, congratulations to your majesty! Congratulations to your majesty!"

Everyone immediately congratulated His Majesty. Zhuo Ji's loyal fans, King Wu, King Xian, and Shi Yu, were overwhelmed with excitement after the congratulations. With an injury in his body, how can I let him give birth to a dragon heir at this time. It's just that this accident came, but it is a god-sent son. I summon you today, and I want you to welcome this hard-won together with me. Lin'er. Crown Prince, King Qi, you two are elder brothers, after you two get married, you will give birth to a royal heir as soon as possible, and grow up with your younger brother or younger sister to keep him company."

The crown prince and the king of Qi: "My son and minister respectfully follow the will of the emperor."

So many children of Emperor Yong'an, including the crown prince, have never received this kind of treatment.Before the birth, all the ministries of the court will start to prepare for the celebration of the birth of the most distinguished dragon heir.The military department is responsible for the safety of the entire capital, especially the palace, to ensure that Zhuo Ji will not experience any instability during the entire pregnancy and before and after the birth of the child.The Ministry of Rites should plan in advance the washing three, full moon, and hundred days after the birth of the dragon's heir.Emperor Yong'an directly said that after this baby Long'er was born, the ministers had to send him a gift of blessing.

No minister objected.By the way, she is pregnant, that is a big deal!He and His Majesty's heir are also worthy of such grand treatment based on their contribution to the Mata country.The task of the crown prince and King Qi is the simplest, which is to handle the state affairs well, and try not to let the state affairs disturb their father before the child is a hundred days old.

Finally, Emperor Yong'an also reminded everyone.Because Zhuo Ji is afraid of pain and doesn't like big belly, this unexpected pregnancy made him feel very bad, so don't make a big announcement.

After explaining, Emperor Yong'an returned to Xiangfu Palace.Everyone left Fengtian Palace one after another, Shi Yu went straight to the military headquarters, King Wu and King Xian had to go back to the palace first, and childbirth is a big deal, so it must be discussed with the princess about the most appropriate gift at that time.

She will give birth early, and the wet nurses she found before will not be suitable.Lin Xieshan was handling military affairs in the office of the Chief of Military Defense while checking the information of the new batch of wet nurses.Someone knocked on the door: "Military Defense Chief."

Lin Xieshan: "Come in."

Lin Xieshan's Zhongshu Sheren came in: "Army and Defense Chief, please see me, Lord Xingle."

Only then did Lin Xieshan raise his eyes: "Please."

Zhongshu Sheren went out, and soon Shi Yu came in in a hurry, closed the door and asked in a low voice: "Grand Duke! Did you know it a long time ago?" The voice was even lower, "You are happy!"

Lin Xieshan frowned slightly: "How did you know?"

Shi Yu was so angry that he went to Lin Xieshan's desk and sat down angrily: "Today, today, I announced that I will enter the palace, and said that there is a happy event, and that the civil and military departments should prepare for the birth of His Highness. But you didn't come, Duke. That night, did Uncle Ping find out that you are happy?!"

Lin Xieshan closed the report in his hand, put it aside, and said: "I found out the next day. It's not even a month, so it's natural that I won't announce it today. And the reason why I know it is naturally Today's truth. Why are you so angry?"

"Me!" Mr. Shi Yu couldn't tell how he could keep it from him because of his loyalty to him.

Lin Xieshan reopened the newspaper and saw off the guests: "No accident, this will be the only dragon in the world. You are the minister of the Ministry of Industry, so you must not fall behind."

"My loyalty to 忍俍! The sun and the moon can learn from each other! It is no less than you, the Duke!" Leaving behind a resigned sentence, Shi Yu walked away angrily.

Lin Xieshan shook his head, not bothering with Shi Yu, and continued to read the report.Thinking that he was the only one in the court who knew that Chu Chu was a wise man, Lin Xieshan was still a little complacent.In terms of loyalty to Zuo, Shi Yu has to be ranked behind him!

Of course Emperor Yong'an didn't dare to tell Zhuo Ji that he had announced it in a small area.This child is still carrying the expectations of countless people in the womb of the "mother's womb".It was also because the crown prince had reached the age of eighteen and his status was considered stable. No matter how favored this child was, he would not pose any threat to the crown prince's status, so Emperor Yong'an dared to show his expectation and love for this Long'er so unscrupulously.

It is also because the prince has reached the age of eighteen, and he will be nineteen soon after the new year.Emperor Yong'an didn't need to worry that if Long'er was a prince, his birth would cause some shocks in the court. After all, Emperor Yong'an knew very well that Lin Xieshan and Shi Yu would definitely support Zhuo Jisheng's prince as the crown prince.Zhuo Ji didn't want to see turmoil in the court regarding the crown prince, and Emperor Yong'an was even more unwilling to see it.Emperor Yong'an was very satisfied with the prince who was trained by Zhuo Ji, so he didn't intend to change the prince, unless the prince made an unforgivable mistake.Emperor Yong'an also rest assured that with Zhuo Ji as the "mother and father", no matter how much he spoils this dragon, he will not spoil him.

Zhuo Ji concealed his ears and hid in Xiangfu Palace to raise his baby, but Danyang Palace and the former dynasty were undercurrents.Zhuo Ji's baby will be born early, and the palace needs to prepare accordingly for the birth of the child in advance.With the acquiescence of Emperor Yong'an, Huang Guixie summoned Concubine Wen, Concubine Xiao, Zhaoyi and Chunyan to make close-fitting clothes for the baby whose gender is not yet known, and prepare all kinds of festive things.Concubine Wen, Concubine Xiao, Zhaotong and Chunyou were shocked when they learned that Shunzhu (俍俍) was pregnant.This is definitely the top priority of Danyang Palace!

Zhuo Ji also began to prepare for her "baby birth".Pregnant women can practice and eat the food that pregnant women should take.As long as he is not asked to go out to meet people with a big belly, he is still willing to cooperate.Zhuo Ji was also glad that it was winter now, so he was able to cover up his stomach with a lot of clothes.
