"You bastard, even now you're still trying to push others into this mess!"
The emperor was furious and immediately demoted the sixth prince to a commoner and ordered him to be expelled from the palace.
As for Shangguan Rou...
The emperor showed no courtesy and had poisoned wine brought to her, which she was then forced to drink.
Shangguan Rou looked incredulous: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I'm carrying your child! How can you be so heartless? Even tigers don't eat their cubs!"
"A child like this doesn't deserve to be born."
The emperor remained unfazed.
Shangguan Rou was so frightened that she fell to the ground.
Unbeknownst to her, the Emperor had already sensed something was amiss; after all, he knew what he had bestowed upon her.
Some of the things that appeared in her palace were not gifts from him at all.
If it weren't for him...
Who could it be?
In addition, he already had some dissatisfaction with the sixth prince.
Now is the perfect opportunity to deal with him.
Once the sixth prince was dealt with, the other princes dared not do anything to Tuoba Zhen again.
Seeing that Tuoba Zhen's position was secure and that her own health had improved so much, Song Xia decided to have a child.
Jin Beichen was still somewhat reluctant.
Song Xia pinched his chin and said, "Believe it or not, I'll divorce you tomorrow! You don't want it, but I do. We're together now, there's no reason not to have a child that's the fruit of our love."
Now that she's married, she naturally wants to have children.
In her view, a marriage without children is incomplete.
Although taking care of children is tiring, it is also a continuation of their lives, isn't it?
Jin Beicheng had no choice but to agree, unable to persuade Song Xia otherwise.
Fang Xiu had been worried that one of them might be unable to have children, but when she learned that they were only now having a child, she was relieved.
Song Chun and Yan Jinling are already married.
Currently, Song Qiu and Song Dong are the only ones who are not yet married.
Song Qiu's restaurant has opened, and Ji Hao has been patronizing it every day since it opened, eating there every day.
If he didn't have to do business in the mornings, he probably would have eaten all three meals a day at her place.
Not only that.
Ji Hao also drove Song Qiu home every day.
She wouldn't ride in the same carriage as him, so he rode in another carriage and escorted her from behind.
If this continues...
How could Song Qiu not be moved?
That day.
When Song Qiu received Ji Hao's money, she said to him, "Ji Hao, I'm not young anymore, I'm sixteen this year. Why don't you come to our house to propose marriage?"
"What? You...you want to marry me?"
Ji Hao was so excited that he stammered.
Song Qiu glanced at him and said, "What, you don't want to? If you don't want to, then I..."
"Yes, yes!"
When Ji Hao got home, he asked his older brother to prepare the betrothal gifts.
Even though it was already night.
Ji Hao still had Ji Ying bring him to their house to propose marriage, as if he was afraid that Song Qiu would change her mind after tonight.
His eagerness left Song Qiu both amused and exasperated.
Fang Xiu and the others also wanted to laugh.
that's all.
Song Qiu and Ji Hao's marriage was arranged, and the wedding date was also set for the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month before the new year.
Song Dong has had many people trying to arrange marriages for him, but he doesn't want to consider that right now, so Fang Xiu and the others have been rejecting him one by one.
After Song Qiu got married.
Song Dong worked even harder. In his view, if he wasn't strong, how could he support his older sisters in the future?
The tenth day of the first lunar month.
Song Xia discovered that her period was several days late, and she went to see a doctor with joy in her heart.
But the doctor didn't give her the answer and told her to come back in a few days.
Song Xia felt a little uneasy, but still chose to come back in a few days.
A few days later.
The doctor finally managed to deliver the medicine; she was about a month and a few days pregnant at this point.
This made Song Xia very happy.
As soon as Jin Beichen got home, she rushed over and hugged him, telling him what had happened.
"She's pregnant?"
Jin Beichen slowly released Song Xia and picked her up in his arms: "You're sure you're pregnant, yet you're still acting so recklessly. Don't do that again!"
Upon hearing this...
Song Xia blinked and said, "When I saw you let go of me just now, I thought you were unhappy."
Hearing her say that...
Jin Beichen frankly said, "How could I not be happy to become a father? But I'm more worried about you, my wife. You must take good care of yourself and give birth to the baby safely."
"Don't worry, I definitely will!"
Song Xia takes the baby in her belly very seriously, and hasn't been busy with anything else since the pregnancy was confirmed.
Every day, I either exercise at home, take walks, or teach the family cook how to make various dishes.
When she was two months pregnant.
Song Xia experienced morning sickness, and she vomited even more severely than Fang Xiu and the others, which inevitably made Jin Beichen very worried about her.
He didn't let the outside doctor examine her.
He asked the emperor to send a royal physician to examine Song Xia.
Upon closer inspection...
The imperial physicians told them that Song Xia seemed to be carrying more than one child.
"More than one?"
Jin Beichen's face turned pale.
Ever since Song Xia became pregnant, he had been secretly trying to learn about things that happen after a woman becomes pregnant.
Having even one child is difficult.
If she gets pregnant with twins, wouldn't that make things even more difficult?
Song Xia was overjoyed; she was pregnant with twins.
The imperial physician was seen off.
Look at her, she can still laugh.
Jin Beichen couldn't help but tap her on the head: "You silly girl, aren't you worried about yourself at all?"
"I'm already pregnant. Worrying will only affect my health. Instead of worrying, I should prepare to welcome the baby."
Song Xia asked him to find a renowned craftsman to customize scalpels and other surgical instruments.
Her worst-case scenario is a C-section.
She has all kinds of medicine in her space, so she is not worried about getting infected and dying.
Now my only worry is how to deliver the baby via C-section.
She couldn't perform the surgery on herself.
Jin Beichen will definitely not be able to handle the situation calmly at that time, so the only option will be to find someone else.
She's so annoyed by vomiting right now that she'll be going to the black market with Jin Beichen to pick someone three months from now.
They went several times.
Song Xia finally picked one she liked.
While they were browsing, they caught a glimpse of a woman kicking someone off the stage who was about to buy her.
The person who sold her went forward to deal with her.
She hit him too.
"My husband, I want her!"
She wanted someone with guts.
Jin Beichen told Song Xia to stay aside while he went over to negotiate with the seller.
As expected of someone Song Xia had her eye on, she was priced higher than most women.
In addition, she hit someone.
Jin Beichen gave her a total of five hundred taels of silver before taking her away.
The woman did try to resist, but she was no match for Jin Beicheng.
Jin Beichen brought the woman over and said to her, "From today onwards, you will be my wife's personal maid. You don't need to do anything to serve her; you just need to protect her and obey her orders."
Song Xia noticed the woman staring at her, her eyes as cold and hostile as a wolf's.
He sized up the woman.
Song Xia asked, "What's your name? How old are you?"
The woman ignored Song Xia.
Song Xia raised an eyebrow and said, "If you don't tell me, then I can name you. What should I call you? How about Ruhua, Cuihua, or Taohua..."
