Chapter 25 The Princess and the Bloodthirsty King
System: "Of course, there are repair agents. The ingredients are resin and active nanorobots. They can perform targeted repairs, but it will take a month."
"Exchange."
A small bottle of medicine appeared out of thin air in Cha Jiu's palm.
She made an excuse to return to her bedroom and put the medicine in an ordinary small white porcelain bottle.
Returning to the main hall, she took out the porcelain bottle.
"Your Majesty, when I was ten years old, I met a traveling doctor in the Northern Frontier. He gave me a bottle of miracle medicine. I wonder if Your Majesty is willing to try it." Cha Jiu lied without blushing or getting nervous.
Yuwen Yuan had no doubts, he took the porcelain bottle and was about to pour it on the wound.
The imperial physician hesitated: "We don't know what the ingredients of this miraculous medicine are. If we use it on the wound casually, I'm afraid it may cause it to disintegrate."
Cha Jiu: "I have tried this medicine and it works fine."
Yuwen Yuan looked at Cha Jiu deeply, and poured the medicine on the wound without hesitation.
"I believe in Concubine Zhao."
The imperial physician smiled bitterly, thinking that he had been a villain in vain.
The repair agent really worked wonders. Once it came into contact with the wound, it instantly formed a protective film like artificial skin and stopped the bleeding.
I don’t know if it was an illusion, but Yuwen Yuan even felt that the pain was relieved a lot.
Cha Jiu was feeling relieved when she suddenly felt something strange moving in her stomach.
Oh no, she might be in premature labor.
"Someone, come and tell the pregnant woman! Concubine Zhao is about to give birth!"
"Mattresses! Hot water! Scissors! Check these things again!"
“Is the ginseng soup hot?”
Several people in Yongle Palace were busy but not chaotic, each doing their own job, preparing for the production of Chajiu.
Men were not allowed to enter the delivery room, so Yuwen Yuan could only wait outside the bedroom. His brows were furrowed and he paced back and forth nervously.
Zhang Lu brought a chair and said soothingly, "Your Majesty, please sit down and wait. Women's childbirth can take several hours at the shortest and a whole day and night at the longest. Don't stand and tire yourself out."
Yuwen Yuan, however, couldn't sit still at all.
This is his first pair of children to be born.
It was not a child filled with conspiratorial deception, but a child born to him by a woman who loved him deeply.
The urgency and excitement, tension and fear in his heart were simply incomprehensible to others.
Inside the bedroom.
"My lady, if it hurts later, bite this handkerchief and push yourself down, don't waste your energy on screaming."
Grandma Wen put the handkerchief in Chajiu's mouth, ready to wait for several hours.
Cha Jiu bit the handkerchief and signaled that she could start.
In fact, she didn't feel any pain at all, she just felt a sinking and creeping sensation in her stomach.
Following the guidance of the widow, she exerted force little by little. After an unknown amount of time, she felt her body relax.
The baby cried loudly.
The old lady was a little stunned. How could it be so fast?
"There's one more, Madam, keep going!"
Soon, another child was born safely.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty! Congratulations, Your Majesty! It's a pair of healthy twins!"
The old lady came out excitedly to announce the good news. The palace servants in Yongle Palace smiled at each other and knelt down to congratulate her.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty! Congratulations, Your Majesty!"
Yuwen Yuan was so happy that he could hardly control himself. His eyes were moist and he looked at the little prince lying quietly in the cradle, and then at the little princess who was still crying loudly.
I can't see it at all.
"I have a child." Yuwen Yuan turned his head to look at Zhang Lu, his expression seemed to be both laughing and crying, and his tone contained a rare hint of childish boasting.
Zhang Lu also wiped his tears and said with relief: "Yes, Your Majesty, the royal heir is finally born."
Your Majesty, all these years of loneliness and waiting have finally paid off.
After taking a look at the child, Yuwen Yuan immediately asked, "How is Concubine Zhao?"
Grandma Wen said: "Your Majesty is in good health. There is no need for ginseng soup or imperial physicians. I have delivered so many babies, but yours was the smoothest."
Yuwen Yuan finally felt relieved. He looked around and exclaimed: "Appreciation! All the palace ladies in Yongle Palace are appreciated!"
The palace ladies were delighted and bowed again to thank the emperor for his grace.
As expected, following Concubine Zhao is a promising career!
…
The crown prince of Sheng Kingdom was born, and it was said that they were twins, a dragon and a phoenix, blessed by heaven. The emperor was overjoyed and ordered a general amnesty for all except traitors, rebels, and extremely evil people.
In the same year, the perennially drought-stricken areas suddenly received a continuous shower of rain, the flood-stricken areas became calm, and the harvests in the farmlands increased greatly.
The story that Concubine Zhao gave birth to a son of good fortune became even more popular among the people.
Yuwen Yuan pardoned Mo Lianxiaoyu from death, but stripped him of his qualification to inherit the throne and ordered him to never enter the capital again.
Cha Jiu coaxed the two babies who were sucking their fingers and deliberately joked, "I didn't expect His Majesty to be so petty..."
Yuwen Yuan came directly to Yongle Palace without changing out of the dragon robe he had worn to court.
Since he had two children, his life routine was to go to court, Yongle Palace, and then to court again.
Even memorials to the dead were moved to the Yongle Palace for processing.
In the past, the concubines in the harem rarely saw His Majesty, but now they can't see him at all.
Yuwen Yuan, however, enjoyed it.
No one knew better than him how joyful it was to watch his two lovely children grow up so rapidly.
"I am narrow-minded." Yuwen Yuan carefully touched the children's chubby little faces, raised his eyes to look at her, his face full of tenderness.
"I'm afraid you'll be taken away again."
Cha Jiu didn't expect this answer.
She just thought Yuwen Yuan was angry, but she didn't expect that he was afraid of losing her.
The once aloof king finally stepped down from his high seat and walked towards her side step by step.
Cha Jiu softened her brows, reached out and touched his face, and said softly: "Your Majesty, I came to the palace from the Northern Frontier just to serve you for my whole life. Regardless of life or death, I am willing to stay by your side."
Yuwen Yuan was moved, and he turned his head to kiss her palm gently.
"I have pondered for several months and finally picked two good names. The prince is named Xiao, which means the dragon in the sky and destiny. The princess is named Jing, which means she is as bright as the sun and as beautiful as brocade, which means she is both talented and beautiful."
Yuwen Xiao, Yuwen Jing.
What a good name! Cha Jiu also agrees.
Perhaps because they were his first pair of children, and twins, a rare sight, Yuwen Yuan doted on them very much.
As soon as Xiao'er turned one month old, Yuwen Yuan named him the crown prince.
Princess Jing was even given a title and a fief. At such a young age, she was the richest noblewoman in the capital, an honor that the royal family had never enjoyed before.
Yuwen Yuan also wanted to enthrone Cha Jiu as the empress, but she refused.
"Why refuse?"
The candlelight flickered, the night grew dark, and Cha Jiu held the little princess in his arms and rocked her to sleep.
The prince is well-behaved and quiet, and he goes to sleep on his own when the time comes.
Princess Jing's personality is the opposite. She is lively and clingy. She giggles all day long while playing, and cries at night and asks Cha Jiu to hold her for a while before she can fall asleep.
Cha Jiu looked at her daughter in her arms with pity and answered the king's question softly: "Being a queen means you have endless responsibilities. Please forgive me for being selfish. The children are still young. I just want to devote all my attention to them and not be bothered by palace affairs."
Yuwen Yuan pondered for a moment and said, "Well, then I will issue an edict to promote you to Imperial Noble Consort, and the palace affairs will still be handed over to Consort De and Consort Shu to manage together. You can't refuse this, right?"
Cha Jiu couldn't be dissatisfied with this arrangement.
She looked at Yuwen Yuan with a smile, her peach blossom eyes full of tenderness and anger: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your consideration."
Yuwen Yuan's eyes darkened.
At this moment, Cha Jiu didn't know how attractive she was.
The weather was hot, and it was night time for her to rest in the bedroom. To keep cool, Cha Jiu wore a thin layer of silk clothes, the smooth texture of the silk further highlighting her exquisite and graceful figure.
After giving birth, the proud mountains seemed to be even taller, leaving a void in the collar, and the spring scenery inside was faintly visible.
Some places on the lapels were still wet, giving the alluring sweet scent a hint of indescribable milk fragrance.
Yuwen Yuan was a little distracted and kissed her.
Cha Jiu cried out in surprise and shyly pushed him: "Your Majesty, the princess is still here."
Princess Jing was soundly sleeping, completely unaware that she had become an obstacle.
"Someone, take the princess down."
Then, they went forward and sang spring tunes in Yongle Palace all night long.
In the second and fourth years, Emperor Zhao's concubine gave birth to the second prince Yuwen Hao and the second princess Yuwen Yan respectively.
So gradually, restless people in the harem began to have ideas.
On this day, Cha Jiu was still washing up when the gate of Yongle Palace was filled with concubines waiting to pay their respects to the Imperial Concubine.
Concubine De and Concubine Shu stood at the front, their eyes dark and tired.
As the year draws to a close, in addition to preparing for the New Year's Eve banquet, they also have to settle the palace accounts. There is so much work to do that they haven't even slept well for half a month.
Lady Yun, who was standing behind Concubine Shu, suddenly said something chilling: "We have been waiting for more than half an hour. The Imperial Concubine does not hold power in the palace, but only holds a vacant position. It is better for us sisters to wait for so long."
Lady Yun is the illegitimate sister of Concubine Shu, and the fourth lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Just entered the palace this year.
When Prime Minister Wang saw that the royal family had more and more children, he thought that Yuwen Yuan had obtained some magical medicine and his body had completely recovered, so he could not wait to force his young and beautiful daughter into the palace.
