Chapter 408: Why is it still happening?
Zehua Palace.
As the banquet drew to a close, Xiao Chengjin leaned over to Jiang Ruo and whispered, "Ruoruo, are you tired?"
Jiang Ruo nodded, "I think they are a little tired, let's go back!"
Xiao Chengjin curled his lips, cleared his throat and said, "The Queen and I are tired, so we'll leave first. Please feel free to do as you please."
Seeing this, everyone stood up and shouted in unison: "Your humble servants and your humble servants... respectfully bid farewell to the Emperor and the Empress."
Sheng Yunshao took advantage of this gap and waved to Little Phoenix.
Xiao Chengjin and Jiang Ruo stood up and left Zehua Palace hand in hand.
Little Phoenix came to Sheng Yunshao's side and asked, "Dad, what do you want?"
Sheng Yunshao chuckled, "Go tell the emperor that I have something to talk to him about, and ask him to wait for me in front."
"Okay, Dad." The little phoenix raised his head and followed him with a swagger.
Sheng Yunshao watched Little Phoenix leave and said to Princess Anran, "Ruoxin, you leave the palace with the old lady and the others first. I will follow you shortly."
Princess Anran nodded, "Okay, we'll go out of the palace and wait for you."
Little Phoenix ran a few steps to catch up with Xiao Chengjin and said to him, "Dad wants to see you, so please wait for him in front."
Xiao Chengjin raised his eyebrows, "Send Ruoruo back first, then come pick me up."
"I know." Little Phoenix said impatiently, complaining in his heart: "I'm coming back to pick you up? Don't you have long legs?"
"Sister, let's go."
"I'll go back and wait for you." Jiang Ruo had just finished speaking when the little phoenix flew away quickly.
Xiao Chengjin stood where he was, his raised hand frozen in mid-air.
Haha, Xiaofeng is jealous again.
Manager Lin stood aside and looked back.
When he saw Sheng Yunshao coming up, he said, "Your Majesty, the father-in-law is here. I will step aside for a moment."
Xiao Chengjin coughed lightly, "Back off!"
Sheng Yunshao came to Xiao Chengjin and said in a flattering tone, "Son-in-law, let's go over there and talk."
Xiao Chengjin: What's so mysterious?
He walked to the position designated by Sheng Yunshao and said, "Father-in-law, tell me, what's the matter?"
Sheng Yunshao thought for a moment and put on a serious expression, "Your status is different now than before. Certain things should be put on the agenda."
After hearing this, Xiao Chengjin subconsciously asked, "What things?"
Father-in-law, what are you talking about?
Sheng Yunshao held his forehead helplessly, "My good son-in-law, I'm talking about having children!"
Xiao Chengjin: “….”
Have a baby?
Why are you suddenly allowed to have a baby?
Sheng Yunshao recalled what the gossipers had said and said indignantly, "At the wedding banquet, I heard someone say that you and Ruoruo have been married for so long and have no children because Ruoruo is infertile."
"Look, aren't they going too far?"
This is simply too ridiculous. If she really can't have children, it's her son-in-law's fault...
After hearing this, Xiao Chengjin's ears turned slightly red.
We haven’t consummated our marriage, so how can we have a child?
But when he thought about people gossiping about Jiang Ruo, he became angry again.
You guys are overthinking it.
We will have a baby soon.
Thinking of Sheng Yunshao's previous warning, Xiao Chengjin said a little aggrievedly, "Father-in-law, you, you told me before... Ruoruo, don't give birth too early."
Sheng Yunshao: “…”
Haha, you are very obedient.
He snorted coldly, and with the air of a parent, he said fiercely, "I told you to give birth, so just give birth quickly. Why are you talking so much nonsense?"
"I'm telling you, I'll give you three months to get pregnant."
"If you can't get pregnant..." At this point, Sheng Yunshao glanced at a certain part of Xiao Chengjin, "Come to me quietly, I will treat you."
Xiao Chengjin: "......"
Father-in-law, I am in very good health.
Don't question my "ability".
Xiao Chengjin said seriously, "Three months should be enough. Please wait for our good news, father-in-law."
I will work very hard to complete the tasks assigned by my father-in-law...
Sheng Yunshao was ecstatic to see Xiao Chengjin being so "well-behaved".
He coughed lightly and suppressed the corners of his lips that were raised, "Son-in-law, don't blame me for interfering in your private affairs."
"As Ruo Ruo's father, I just want to see you happy..."
After all, your family still has the throne to inherit.
Xiao Chengjin's lips curled slightly, "Father-in-law, please don't overthink it. I understand your painstaking efforts."
Upon hearing this, Sheng Yunshao gave Xiao Chengjin a look that said "good son-in-law".
"You must be tired after a busy day, go back and rest!"
"By the way, don't forget this mission." Sheng Yunshao said, and turned around with a smug smile on his face.
Xiao Chengjin looked at Sheng Yunshao who turned and left, and said happily, "Goodbye, father-in-law."
Then, he instructed Chief Steward Lin who was not far away, "Chief Steward Lin, escort my father-in-law out of the palace."
"I obey your command."
Sheng Yunshao did not refuse and left chatting and laughing with Manager Lin.
Xiao Chengjin looked at the dragon-patterned ring on his ring finger, thinking of some beautiful scenes, and inexplicably blushed and his heart beat fast.
After the little phoenix flew back, it quietly landed behind Xiao Chengjin.
"Hey, what are you thinking about?"
So fascinated.
Xiao Chengjin replied smugly, "You wouldn't understand even if I told you."
"Take me back to Yongle Palace!" His tone was full of excitement.
The little phoenix rolled his eyes and murmured softly, "So happy?"
It's hard to guess what a dog man is thinking...
As Sheng Yunshao expected, by the time the ministers took their families out of the palace, the news that the current queen was "infertile" spread.
This news gave the unmarried women a glimmer of hope.
They couldn't help but think complacently: If the Empress couldn't have children, the Emperor would take concubines to continue his family line for the sake of his country...
In this case, wouldn’t that be their chance?
Outside the palace.
Princess Anran and the old lady, who were standing next to the carriage, listened to the whispers and looked at each other.
"Old lady, don't listen to their nonsense." Princess Anran said with a smile.
But if you can really imagine it, you can't give birth.
The old lady laughed and said, "Father-in-law is a skilled doctor. We are not worried about this problem at all."
Sheng Yunshao looked at the palace gate in front of him and stopped, "Manager Lin, just send me here!"
"By the way, don't forget the task I assigned to you."
Manager Lin couldn't stop smiling when he thought of the task assigned by Sheng Yunshao.
"Don't worry, my father-in-law, I will remind the emperor every night."
Sheng Yunshao nodded with satisfaction and left with a happy pace.
"Goodbye, father-in-law." After watching Sheng Yunshao leave the palace, Chief Steward Lin walked back happily.
Haha, the father-in-law has given the order, this task must be completed.
Yongle Palace.
In the bedroom, Jiang Ruo sat beside the wedding bed, looking at Xiao Chengjin with a "shy" face, and a sly smile appeared at the corner of her lips.
She hooked her finger at Xiao Chengjin and said, "Come here."
Xiao Chengjin coughed lightly and walked slowly to the wedding bed.
"Ruoruo, isn't it a bit early to enter the bridal chamber at this hour?" He glanced at the sky and spoke in a mosquito-like voice.
Jiang Ruo: "..."
Haha, it’s indeed a bit early.
No, who said we have to enter the bridal chamber now?
Thinking of this, Jiang Ruo couldn't help but laugh out loud.
She stood up and put her arms around Xiao Chengjin's neck, "Why are you so cute?"
Xiao Chengjin looked at the captivating face in front of him and his breathing became a little rapid.
He put his arms around Jiang Ruo's waist and, with great restraint, gave her a few light kisses on her lips.
Thinking about his father-in-law's order, Xiao Chengjin's smile deepened, "Ruoruo, my father-in-law has given us a task."
Jiang Ruo's cheeks flushed slightly, and she raised her eyes and asked, "What mission?"
Xiao Chengjin pretended to be wronged and said, "My father-in-law said that you must get pregnant within three months."
"But, having children isn't something we can have just because we want to..."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Ruo held his forehead helplessly.
Why did it induce labor?
Jiang Ruo didn't think much about it and said, "You don't have to worry about the child."
"Let's work harder and we'll get it soon."
After saying this, Jiang Ruo realized that he had made a slip of the tongue.
For some reason, I have a bit of back pain.
Jiang Ruo blinked innocently and explained in a low voice: "I mean..."
Even if we have to work harder, we have to have a limit...
Xiao Chengjin would not give Jiang Ruo a chance to regret.
He lowered the corner of his lips that was raised, and said very seriously: "Ruoruo, don't worry, I will 'try my best'."
Jiang Ruo coughed lightly and changed the subject, "You go out and wait for a moment. I'll change out of this wedding dress."
"Okay." Xiao Chengjin kissed Jiang Ruo's forehead and eyebrows a few times with affection before letting go of her waist.
Outside the palace.
After Xiao Chengjin came out, Chief Steward Lin hurried over to greet him, "Your Majesty, do you need some nourishing soup?"
Xiao Chengjin: "......"
What is the purpose of stewing nourishing soup?
"What's the meaning?"
Steward Lin smiled flatteringly, "The father-in-law said that you and the Empress should have a child as soon as possible."
"I was wondering if I should make you some nourishing soup..."
I think the emperor should understand what I mean!
Xiao Chengjin covered his lips and coughed lightly, "Prepare some nourishing soup for the Queen tonight."
I don't need any soup.
"I obey your command." Manager Lin glanced at the blushing Xiao Chengjin and understood what was going on.
No wonder the young master hasn't arrived yet, it turns out the marriage hasn't been consummated...
Your Majesty, I am truly impressed by you!
