Zhuo Qihua

The new year is coming soon, and the first day of the new year is the crown prince's canonization ceremony, but Emperor Yong'an has no intentions.Zhuo Ji's pregnancy is almost four and a half months old, and his belly now looks like it's six months old.Hu Pengju is completely convinced that the pregnancy period of Shizuo will not last ten months.Because the development of the fetus is very strong, the daily fetal movement is also like that of about six months, and there will be bulges on the belly from time to time.The happy thing that Emperor Yong'an did every day was holding his beloved's belly, talking to his Long'er, rubbing the bulge made by Long'er, and kissing him a few more times.

At this time, Zhuo Ji looked at the top of the bed and hypnotized himself: [This is just a big belly, there is nothing in it, there is nothing, everything about the child is an illusion...an illusion...]

In Shoukang Palace, the queen mother asked the emperor who was summoned by her again: "The New Year's Palace banquet and the crown prince's canonization ceremony, can you show up by the way?"

Emperor Yong'an: "I am also hesitating. He is my favorite servant. He always shows his face at the New Year's Palace banquet, otherwise outsiders will only think that he is not in good health. I don't know how many people outside are expecting him to be bad. The crown prince canonization ceremony It's a big deal, the prince was raised by him alone, no matter his status in the palace or his teaching to the prince, the prince needs to kowtow to him that day. But he is not willing to show his face."

The queen mother sighed: "I really want to see him, but I'm afraid he will be awkward. How is Long'er? I heard from Uncle Pingning that the child is indeed growing up, and I'm afraid he will be born in the next year."

Emperor Yong'an nodded, and said: "Shunxi can't be sure when the baby will be born, but it will definitely not be ten months old. Even if I look at his stomach, he is not used to it. It's better to give birth early, so as not to give birth in the future." Bad day."

The Queen Mother said nervously, "I'm worried..."

Emperor Yong'an let out a sigh of relief, so why wasn't he worried.Regardless of whether it is a brother or a woman, giving birth to a child is like stepping into the gate of hell.

Coming out of Shoukang Palace, Emperor Yong'an went to Huayang Palace and asked about the preparations of Huang Guixie.Zhuo Ji will give birth in the Xiangfu Palace, and Bai Wenpei and Chen Jiao will be responsible for his delivery, while Hu Pengju, Bai Shitong and Wei Yingshi will guide him outside, just in case something happens.Anyone else who approached the delivery room without permission would be executed for murder.There is no room for carelessness about Zhuo Ji's safety during childbirth.

After leaving Huayang Palace, Emperor Yong'an returned to Xiangfu Palace.Zhuo Ji just woke up from a nap.His stomach was like a big round watermelon, which was heavy.All kinds of cushions were placed on the bed to make it easier for him to rest his stomach.After taking a nap, Zhuo Ji would go for a walk for one or two sticks of incense, then eat lunch, and then go for a walk again and do some exercise.

Taking Zhuo Ji for a walk in the big flower hall, Emperor Yong'an asked, "Would you like to show up at the New Year's Palace Banquet and the Crown Prince Canonization Ceremony?"

Zhuo Ji is definitely unwilling.

Emperor Yong'an stopped in his tracks, turned around, hugged him empty-handedly with one hand, and placed his other lightly on his stomach: "You are my beloved servant, and if you don't show up at the palace banquet during the New Year's Eve, people will make irresponsible remarks. All kinds of speculations. The crown prince has to kowtow to you for the canonization ceremony. You can go to the palace banquet and the canonization ceremony later and leave earlier."

Zhuo Ji was also very entangled: "I will definitely become the focus of the audience."

Emperor Yong'an smiled lowly: "Only you feel awkward. Lin Xieshan, Shi Yu and others, I don't know how much I hope you can give birth to Longer for me."

Zhuo Ji: "Big belly or something, it's already like this, I have to accept it if I don't accept it, but when I think about how to live..." Zhuo Ji knocked his head on Emperor Yong'an's shoulder, and he wanted to die.Of course, he never dared to say that.

Emperor Yong'an: "Be patient and pass. When you give birth, I will go in to accompany you."

"Absolutely not!" Zhuo Ji refused without even thinking about it, and said righteously, "I don't want to affect the harmonious sex life between me and His Majesty in the future. Your Majesty is not allowed to go in and see!"

Emperor Yong'an chuckled a few times: "Okay, listen to you, I will wait outside."

Zhuo Ji pressed his head against Emperor Yong'an's shoulder depressedly, and muttered in a low voice: "I want..."

Emperor Yong'an comforted him: "I will give it to you at night."

Zhuo Ji had a particularly strong sexual desire in the past two months, which is rare for him.He himself didn't know whether the change in his sexual desire was simply a change in hormones in his body or whether it was related to his superhuman body.In his previous life, the proportion of pregnant women with supernatural powers was very low, and people would not tell him whether his sexual desire would be strong after pregnancy.Furthermore, he has to struggle on the survival line all day long, and no matter how strong he is, he will be crushed by the real environment.But he had a big belly, and Emperor Yong'an was afraid of hurting him and the child, not to mention gentleness in sexual matters, and he didn't dare to do it too often.But the more gentle Emperor Yong'an was, the less frequent it was, and Zhuo Ji felt even more uncomfortable.

The servants were all guarding outside the door, Emperor Yong'an kissed Zhuo Ji, and stroked his back, stomach, and lower body through his clothes.Zhuo Ji was short of breath and his legs went limp.His body is very sensitive now, Emperor Yong'an left two hickeys on his neck, and then hugged him.In Emperor Yong'an's arms, Zhuo Ji gradually calmed down, although he was not enjoying himself to the fullest, it was better than nothing.

In the end, Zhuo Ji still decided to attend the New Year's palace banquet and the prince canonization ceremony.He knew that many people cared about him and wanted to know how he was doing.Anyway, it is estimated that the outside world has also spread. Whoever called him Brother Mu, pregnancy and big belly are all too normal for people here.Zhuo Ji inexplicably thought of the dream when he was seriously injured.Fortunately, when he "meeted" with the fat man, he didn't have a big belly, otherwise he would really be laughed to death.

■

With the crown prince supervising the country, Emperor Yong'an could devote a lot of energy to state affairs, but the crown prince canonization ceremony is not a trivial matter after all, not only the country attaches great importance to it from top to bottom, but foreign missions will also send people to present congratulatory gifts and participate in the ceremony. Canonization ceremony.After Xiaonian sealed the pen, Emperor Yong'an went out frequently to the Tai Chi Hall to check the preparations for the canonization ceremony.I went to the East Palace of Daxing Palace to see how it was done.This also shows that Emperor Yong'an, as the emperor, valued the successor he chose.Zhuo Ji was completely uninitiated in the ceremony of the canonization of the prince, and he himself could only follow the arrangement of the etiquette officer that day, but because of his health, he could skip many steps.

Because the new year coincides with the crown prince's canonization ceremony, the ancestor worship this year should also be held on the day of the crown prince's canonization ceremony.Because there was no need to worship ancestors, on New Year's Eve, Emperor Yong'an stayed with Zhuo Ji until he woke up.After breakfast with Zhuo Ji, Emperor Yong'an left Xiangfu Palace alone, went to Shoukang Palace to pay his respects to his mother, and then met and talked with the concubines and princes in the harem.For lunch, Emperor Yong'an will also accompany the Queen Mother.

At the family banquet in the palace in the evening, Zhuo Ji still did not show up, and his seat was vacated as usual.Emperor Yong'an sat for less than half an hour before leaving.It seems that the news that Gong Zhongshun is pregnant has been spread in private.But Emperor Yong'an has never made an official announcement, and the Empress Dowager and Huang Guixie have never said it outright. Those who don't know the truth are dubious about this.

In the early morning of the first day of the lunar new year, Emperor Yong'an left Xiangfu Palace wearing the emperor's royal uniform, and went to the Taiji Hall of Wenqing Palace on his imperial jade 辂.At this time, Zhuo Ji was still asleep on the bed.After pregnancy, Zhuo Ji was more lethargic, but he often dreamed of zombies. At most, he could fall asleep quickly after being awakened by nightmares.Last night Zhuo Ji was woken up again by zombies, even if this day is the crown prince canonization ceremony, he still has to let Zhuo Ji sleep for a while.

The Empress Dowager, Huang Guixie, Deguixie and other concubines in the harem also got up early and put on formal palace clothes.When the prince canonize, the concubines in the harem will not go to the Tai Chi Hall.After the canonization ceremony is over, Emperor Yong'an will bring the crown prince, princes, princes, and civil and military favorites to Danyang Palace to meet the queen mother and the noble concubine.On such a big day like today, Emperor Yong'an made an exception and allowed Deguixie, Xiguifei and Mingyu to stay at the Shoukang Palace, and the three of them kept muttering about this.Logically speaking, the three of them are not qualified for this, especially Mingyu.Deguixie and Concubine Xigui said their status was higher than him.And if it wasn't for the prince's real mother and father, he would not be qualified. Only the queen mother and empress have the qualifications to accept the worship of the prince and courtiers on a day like today.

Outside the Tai Chi Hall, the ministers had already arrived on the square early and stood in their order.The foreign envoys who came to congratulate the conferment ceremony of the Prince of Omata also entered the palace early and stood in the ceremony area.The courtiers wore their temporary new court uniforms, and their solemn expressions showed the excitement that the Mata country really had a successor and the greater vision for the future development of the Mata country.

King Qi, as the first prince, was dressed in his unique dark yellow seven-python prince uniform, and led his younger brothers, standing alone in front of the civil servants.King Jin and King Chu wore the dark red prince's clothes of seven pythons, and the other princes who were named county kings wore blue and purple prince's clothes of four pythons.Lin Xieshan led the warriors to stand in the right column, and King Wu led the royal family to stand on the opposite side of King Qi.

When the time came, Emperor Yong'an appeared surrounded by palace people and guards.The princes, officials, envoys, Qingpingwei's guards, and palace people in the square knelt down in unison, shouting: "Long live your Majesty, long live, long live——"

Boom boom boom, the salute resounded.Zhuo Ji, who was still asleep, opened his eyes suddenly, followed by a little guy rolling in his stomach.Taking a deep breath, Zhuo Ji turned over cumbersomely and said, "What time is it?"

The bed curtain was lifted immediately, Xiaohui: "Master, it's almost 9 o'clock, are you going to get up?"

Now that he woke up, Zhuo Ji didn't plan to sleep anymore, not to mention there are important things to do today.He said, "Get up."

Chang Jing also came over, and together with Xiaohui helped the master up.Zhuo Ji once again sighed in his heart, how did the fat man manage to carry his big belly for ten years without being burdensome at all.

"Uh—" Zhuo Ji suddenly stopped moving.

Xiaohui and Chang Jing were terrified: "Master!"

Zhuo Ji raised his hand, telling them not to be nervous: "He's pushing against my stomach."

Chang Jing and Xiao Hui were taken aback for a moment, and looked down. Sure enough, the master's belly was bulging, and they both heaved a sigh of relief and laughed.Xiaohui: "Little master is lively."

Zhuo Ji got out of bed, supported by Xiaohui to wash in the bathroom, and sighed: "I have never thought of having a baby in my life, as expected, I am not as good as God..."

Xiaohui pursed her lips and smiled. She had better not talk too much at this time.

Going to the bathroom, standing in front of the sink, looking at her big belly in the mirror, Zhuo Ji still felt unreal.He turned sideways and patted his stomach lightly: "If I gain weight in the future, it's probably like this."

Only then did Xiao Hui answer: "Master, you won't gain weight. When little master comes out, master, you will lose weight in no time."

Zhuo Ji patted his stomach again: "Tell me, why are you so 'competitive'? Take precautions, you can get in for me."

Xiaohui and Chang Jing lowered their heads and suppressed their laughter again.

Zhuo Ji: "When you come out, I will name you 'Strength'."

Chang Jing: "Master, this is not allowed, Your Majesty will not allow it."

"That nickname is 'Strength'."

Chang Jing and Xiao Hui exchanged glances with a smile, even if it was a nickname, His Majesty would definitely not agree.Immediately afterwards, the two listened to their master say: "If you don't want to be competitive, you are called a small fish, a fish that slipped through the net."

Xiaohui: "Master, brush your teeth."

Zhuo Ji took the toothbrush, brushed his teeth, and decided in his heart that the nickname should be chosen between "Striving" and "Little Fish"!

He didn't know that his baby Long'er was given such a nickname by love. After Emperor Yong'an took the prince to sacrifice to heaven in the Taiji Hall, he began to officially confer the crown prince.Nan Rongchen, who was wearing a prince's suit, walked up the steps firmly step by step amidst the sound of solemn and solemn horns.King Qi led the younger brothers, King Wu led the important clan members of the royal family, Duke Sui led the military generals, Liu Qian led the civil servants, and followed Nan Rongchen up the steps.

Walking to the platform in front of the main hall of the Taiji Hall, Nan Rongchen lifted up his clothes, knelt down, bowed down, got up and walked nine steps forward, knelt down again, bowed down.All the people behind him knelt and kowtowed after him.

Kneeling three times and bowing three times, Nan Rongchen stepped over the threshold of the Tai Chi Hall, while the others stayed outside.Walking to the center of the hall, Nan Rongchen once again knelt down: "My son, Nan Rongchen, bows down to my father. Long live my father, long live my father, long live my father! Long live my father, long live, long live the Great Mata Empire, long live, long live!"

The ministers: "Long live Your Majesty, long live, long live—! Long live the Damata Empire, long live, long live—!"

In the square, everyone knelt down and shouted "Long live my emperor" and "Long live the Damata Empire".This is the first time that Matata has officially presented to the world his brand-new title——Da Mata Empire.

Emperor Yong'an: "Get up."

Everyone gets up.

The horn sounded again, and Zhang Xian stepped forward, unfolding the bright yellow imperial edict in his hand.

On the first day of January in the 23rd year of Yong'an, His Majesty the Emperor of the Damata Empire officially canonized the eldest son of the emperor, Nan Rongchen, as the crown prince.This also means that Nan Rongchen, who had only one canonized imperial decree before, has become the veritable crown prince of Mata country from this day on.He has the unprecedented power of the crown prince in the history of the Mata country entrusted to him by his father, and has an unprecedented territory and prosperity in the history of the Mata country.

The palace people took off Nan Rongchen's Prince Qin's clothes, and changed him into the bright yellow nine-boa python robe that was the same as that of His Majesty the Emperor.After the prince changed his clothes, Emperor Yong'an bestowed the prince with a treasure book and a royal stick.

The entire prince canonization hall will take nearly 4 hours, and the process is very lengthy.This is still because the prince is not married, otherwise the crown prince would still need to be conferred by the princess on the day the prince canonize, and it would take longer.

At 12:[-] noon, the canonization ceremony was completely over.The next day, Emperor Yong'an will bring the crown prince to the Tai Chi Hall again to hold a special court meeting, accepting congratulations from civil and military ministers and foreign envoys to the crown prince. At the same time, Emperor Yong'an will issue an edict to the whole world, Benefits.After that, the prince will formally form his political team in the East Palace, and he can begin to intervene in the country's government affairs in a legitimate way.

Also at 12 o'clock sharp, Shoukang Palace, the Empress Dowager, Huang Guixie, Deguixie, Xi Guifei, and Mingyu are already in full battle.Today is a big day, and the queen mother was so excited that she didn't sleep well last night.The royal concubine will only be more excited than the queen mother.The palace people of Shoukang Palace sent news in from time to time, so that the masters would know how the canonization ceremony was going and whether it was going well.

An eunuch hurried to the entrance of the main pavilion, opened the curtain and went in, and hurriedly said, "The Empress Dowager! By the way, I'm here!"

Everyone in the room was startled: "Shun Xi is here?!"

Ming Xun got up and left: "Go and pick him up!"

De Guixie: "I'm going too!"

In the end, even the queen mother went out to pick up people.
