Volume 1, Chapter 133: Deciding to Have a Baby

In a blink of an eye, it was already late at night. After Feng Changxi defeated Xiang Yun with one move, she couldn't help but yawn and tears welled up in her eyes.

She stood up and saluted, saying, "Your Majesty, I am already exhausted today, so I will take my leave now!"

After Feng Changxi finished speaking, she turned around and left. Unlike when she came, there was always a faint smile on her face when she left.

Xiang Yun nodded, and did not keep her. He just silently looked at her graceful back in the distance, shook his head and smiled bitterly, "This little girl is interesting. I played chess with her for a whole day, but she didn't even stay to accompany me!"

Upon hearing this, Little Melon Seed hurried forward and said, "Your Majesty, do you want to turn over the card of Concubine Feng tonight?"

Xiang Yun shook his head and said, "I don't want to serve you!"

Then Xiang Yun said, "Feng Fengpin is gentle and kind, and has an elegant demeanor. She shall be promoted to imperial concubine and awarded 100 taels of gold, a night-shining pearl, and a box of jewels."

"Yes!" Xiao Guazi agreed with a smile. Just as he was about to call someone to execute the imperial decree, Xiang Yun said again: "Send a message to Concubine Feng, asking her to come here again tomorrow. I haven't had enough fun playing Go yet!"

Then Xiang Yun left the Imperial Garden, smiling and shaking his head, and went straight to Changle Palace where Qin Su was.

As soon as he entered the room, before Qin Su could kneel down to greet him, Xiang Yun, who had been itching to have sex with her, picked up Qin Su and carried her to the bed.

Qin Su had been missing Xiang Yun very much these days, but such a big thing happened in the palace. When she learned that Xiang Yun had not met anyone, she tactfully did not go over to add to Xiang Yun's troubles.

When I learned that Xiang Yun was playing chess with Feng Changxi in the Imperial Garden today, I thought that Xiang Yun would visit Feng Changxi tonight. I didn't expect that he would come to me so late.

Qin Su was so delighted that she hugged Xiang Yun even tighter, not daring to separate for even a moment.

The two of them had a very good understanding of each other, and their reunion after a long separation was like a raging fire. Xiang Yun's depression over the past few days was swept away today, so he naturally became interested in this matter, so the first thing he wanted to do was to find Qin Su.

The more tired he was from leading the troops in person, the more he could empathize with Qin Su's hard life in the northern border. The wind and sun were one of the problems, but he was mainly worried about the invasion of barbarians from outside the Great Wall.

She is a girl about the same age as me!

The more Xiang Yun thought about it, the more guilty he felt towards Qin Su, and the kiss became even deeper.

Sometimes, high-quality love is not about the length of time, size, or thickness, but about the depth of love, the inability to control oneself, and being with the one you love, which is the most important thing.

Just two hours later, the creaking sound of the Xiu bed stopped. Xiang Yun lay there panting, holding Qin Su in his arms, with his eyes closed, as if he was extremely relaxed, as if he had attained enlightenment and ascended to heaven.

Qin Su's cheeks were flushed and she looked very satisfied. She hugged Xiang Yun tightly with both hands, and happiness was written all over her face.

The two of them cuddled together for a long time. When Xiang Yun recovered his breath, he lowered his head and kissed the scar on Qin Su's face, then said softly, "Little Su Su, it's great to have you."

Qin Su didn't say anything, but shyly hugged her hands tighter. Xiang Yun thought for a moment and asked, "I'm sure you've heard about the Queen's affairs. How do you think I should deal with the Queen?"

Qin Su lowered her head and thought for a while before saying, "I don't understand these things, nor do I want to understand them, but in my opinion, this matter is of great importance, and Your Majesty should investigate it thoroughly. Don't blame a good person, and don't let a bad person go."

"Because if I put myself in their shoes, I don't want to be harmed, nor do I want to be wronged!"

Xiang Yun seemed to be thinking about what he heard, and his eyes gradually narrowed. It seemed that running away was not the solution to the problem. Whether it was Zhen Rou or Wang Jiaojiao, he would have to face them sooner or later.

"Little Susu, when will you give me a big fat boy? If you give me a dragon son, I will give the whole country to him!" Xiang Yun said with a smile.

After Wang Jiaojiao's son was murdered, Xiang Yun felt more and more that he had to start considering the issue of the continuation of his offspring.

The Sun Dynasty was so huge. If there was no one to inherit the dynasty after his death, then wouldn’t his great empire be a waste of time for others?

After experiencing this, Xiang Yun decided to have more sons. He had watched too many harem dramas and knew that the murder of a prince could not be prevented no matter how careful one was. If someone wanted to kill him, even if the murderer was found and the entire nine clans were killed, it would be too late because the dead could not be brought back to life.

Although it is cruel, Xiang Yun has to face this reality.

Moreover, he must train his son to be a talented person when he is young, so that he can become a wise ruler after him, and not a mediocre and incompetent ruler!

Therefore, if you want to have a son, you’d better do it as early as possible!

Xiang Yun thought so, but after a long time without seeing any response from Qin Su in his arms, he could not help but look down and found that Qin Su had fallen asleep. He could not help but shake his head and smile bitterly, then closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep.

After the morning court session the next day, Xiang Yun worked diligently on government affairs in the imperial study. As the three prime ministers were all sent out on official business, he had to be the only one to review and handle the memorials from the entire Da Ri Dynasty.

This is also what Xiang Yun is happy to see. Many things still need to be done by himself, otherwise he will easily be sidelined by his ministers.

However, the more Xiang Yun read the memorial, the more his brows furrowed. Not only did the dynasty suffer from man-made events such as disaster victims and rebellions, but many places also experienced a large number of natural disasters.

It snowed heavily today, and a snowstorm occurred in Huaixiang area, killing thousands of people. The Baoqing area was even more affected by the earthquake, which spread throughout the entire Baoqing city and towns. The death toll reached hundreds of thousands, and millions of people were displaced and homeless.

It is winter again now. A landslide has caused a lot of loss of food stored by the people. Food has become the most important issue for millions of people to survive.

This was a memorial submitted three days ago. If the local governor was not really at a loss, he would not have submitted a memorial to the court for funding and grain allocation. Ordinary people were freezing to death all the time due to the severe cold and lack of food.

This matter alone made Xiang Yun extremely anxious. A large amount of food, bedding, clothes and tents were needed for disaster relief. Other things were okay, but food was the main thing. This was what the Great Sun Dynasty lacked the most!

With wars being fought on all fronts, it was impossible for him to withdraw food from the soldiers on the front lines and send it over there; that would cause a mutiny!

Xiang Yun thought about it and had no choice but to call Liu Yiyi over.

As soon as Liu Yiyi entered the imperial study, Xiang Yun said loudly without even looking at her: "Baoqing Earth Dragon is turning over, you must immediately intercept the food supplies for Jiang Yue's troops and the food and grass sent to the northern border, and send them to the disaster area immediately!"

"Then quickly go to the Mahayana Treasure Kingdom to collect grain and quickly transport it back to the Great Sun Dynasty to fill the vacancies in various departments. Go now!"

Liu Yiyi agreed and then fell silent. Xiang Yun couldn't help but put down the memorial in his hand and looked up, asking in confusion: "What's going on? Go quickly!"

"Oh~" Liu Yiyi frowned when she heard that, obviously very unhappy, and slowly retreated out of the imperial study.

Xiang Yun immediately lowered his head to look through the memorial, but the next moment, Liu Yiyi, who had already come out of the door, ran back to the imperial study in a hurry, ran to Xiang Yun, hugged his head and kissed him on the cheek!

"Hey~ you girl!" When Xiang Yun covered his face and reacted, Liu Yiyi jumped out of the imperial study quickly!

This made Xiang Yun very angry. What the hell, I treated you as my own and didn't put me on guard, but you, a girl, dared to attack me in broad daylight and in front of everyone!

It's really lawless. If Liu Yiyi hadn't run fast and I had something important for her to do, I would have caught her and taught her a lesson for several hours!

As a result, Xiang Yun became upset and lost interest in reading the memorial. He waved his hand, shook his head, and staggered towards the Plum Blossom Pavilion in the Imperial Garden.

Sure enough, Feng Changxi had already set up the chessboard in the Plum Blossom Pavilion and was quietly waiting for Xiang Yun's arrival.

She was made a concubine yesterday, and today she was dressed more gorgeously than yesterday. She even had three emerald jade hairpins on her head, which matched her pretty face with a little makeup, making her look extremely beautiful.

Xiang Yun smiled as he walked over and sat down. He held another plum blossom in his hand and handed it to Feng Changxi, saying with a smile, "This is for you."

Then the two stopped talking and began to play chess quietly. After Xiao Guazi ordered people to bring fruits and a brazier, he quietly left and served twenty meters away.

Late in the night at 11 p.m., Feng Changxi felt tired and left. Xiang Yun did not keep her tonight either.

Xiang Yun wants to see how many times Feng Changxi can play with him like this. If you don't let me touch you, well, I don't want it!

Who is afraid of whom?

Xiang Yun staggered away again and went to Changle Palace to find Qin Su. He had made up his mind to let Qin Su get pregnant with a baby!

He had already thought it through. Qin Su was good at both civil and military affairs, so her genes must be excellent. The child born to him would definitely be a wise ruler who was good at both civil and military affairs, brave and resourceful, and good at government affairs!

For the next six days, Xiang Yun lived a repetitive life, attending court, handling government affairs in the Imperial Study, playing chess in the Plum Garden, and making babies in the Changle Palace!

He didn't ask about either Wang Jiaojiao or Queen Zhen Rou, and had no intention of going over to check.

Others didn't even dare to mention this matter. However, Fang Rui and Miao Hanzhi had been quite unhappy these past few days. They were extremely envious and jealous of Feng Changxi, and secretly cursed Feng Changxi for pretending to be so noble.

Now everyone in the palace, from the Queen to the palace maids and eunuchs in every nook and cranny, knows that the Emperor is very interested in Feng Changxi. But you, on the other hand, have turned a bad face towards the Emperor. For a whole week, you haven't even let the Emperor touch your hand.

She is obviously a married woman, but she pretends to be a virgin in front of the emperor. It is really despicable.

However, everyone only thought about such words in their hearts, but no one dared to actually say them out loud, as doing so would cost them their heads.

It's not that Xiang Yun has done nothing in the past six days, but he is not a person who only cares about fun.

Official roads throughout the country had been built, so the armies could march very quickly. It only took Xuanyuan Dabing, Wu Guotao, and Guo Xuan four days to reach the nearest rebel king's territory if they led their troops.

Xuanyuan Dabing led the troops to be responsible for the rebellion in the west. The first and primary target was Duan Rui, the governor who directly governed the Han Da Province and Lingquan Province and proclaimed himself the King Ling of Han!

As long as Han Ling King Duan Rui can be destroyed in a swift manner, the rebel kings in the west of the Great Sun Dynasty will be terrified and their morale will be severely hit. By then, these rebel kings will no longer be a concern and will be left to Xuanyuan to take advantage of.
