"???"
Chu Li's feet slipped and he almost lost his balance.
"What nonsense are you talking about? My eighth brother has only loved eating, drinking, playing and fighting crickets since he was young. How could he eat... eat..."
It's hard to talk about.
Empress Dowager Xin stepped forward in a hurry and said, "Excuse me, Doctor Bai, what strange disease has the emperor contracted?"
Bai Jinyi took a look at Chu Aotian's bloodshot eyes and black eyelids. It was obvious that the fire in his body was too strong and it was not released in time, causing his heart to burn.
In this state, it’s no wonder that I feel restless and unable to sleep every night.
He glanced around the hall:
"Let everyone get out first."
Empress Dowager Xin waved her hand, and the imperial doctors, feeling relieved, withdrew along with the palace maids and eunuchs.
Suddenly, they were the only ones left in the hall.
We are all family now, Bai Jinyi finally spoke cryptically:
"Reporting to the Queen Mother, the Emperor is too angry and has not been relieved..."
In addition, he had been taking drugs for half a month, so he was naturally manic and anxious, jumping up and down.
But he couldn't understand why the emperor wanted to take medicine for no reason.
Isn't that something only old men eat?
Empress Dowager Xin was an experienced person, and when she heard this, she immediately understood the meaning.
She grabbed Chu Aotian's hand and whispered, "Tian'er, don't you sleep with the queen every night?"
"Yes, mother."
"Then why do you sleep together every day? How come...why do you..."
Empress Dowager Xin felt a little embarrassed to speak up about this matter.
Chu Aotian grabbed his neck in pain and said:
"I'm not feeling well, what does that have to do with the Queen? Can sleeping with her help me live longer?"
"?"
Chu Li's eyes widened, and suddenly realized something, and strode forward, "Eighth Brother!"
"What are you doing? You suddenly gave me a scare by shouting."
"Eighth Brother, tell me, how do you sleep at night?"
Chu Aotian blushed:
"This... How can you, a girl, ask such a question? Aren't you ashamed..."
Chu Di stood beside Chu Li as steady as a mountain and said sternly: "Who are you saying is ashamed?"
Chu Aotian's neck choked: "..."
Bai Jinyi looked at him and said, "Your Majesty, you must tell the truth. You can't hide your illness and avoid seeing a doctor."
Empress Dowager Xin held the handkerchief tightly and nodded:
"Yes, Tian'er, stop hiding it."
"Yes, Eighth Brother, please tell me now."
Chu Aotian was sitting on the bed, hugging the quilt, when he saw these people surrounding the bed, staring at him with their eyes, as if they wanted to strip him naked.
"ah……"
Hold on to your little blanket!
Don’t come over here…don’t come over here!
"I...I sleep with the Queen at night...we just lie together, she holds my hand and I hold hers..."
Several people stared at him:
"Then what!"
Chu Aotian's face fell and he was about to cry.
Do you have to explain it in such detail?
This is so embarrassing!
Who would make public what happened in their bed?
He hugged the quilt tightly, shrunk his neck, looked at everyone in fear, and swallowed hard:
"Then... we'll close our eyes and go to sleep together."
Chu Li: “That’s it?”
"Of course, there were times when I couldn't sleep, and the Queen would sing to me, tell me stories, and even fight crickets with me. If the moonlight was good, we would read storybooks together."
Everyone dispersed: "..."
It was like eating a fly, an expression that was hard to describe: *&￥@#%……
Chu Li turned around and said to Bai Jinyi, "See, I said he was a fool who only knew how to eat, drink, play and fight crickets. How could he be taking drugs?"
Bai Jinyi didn't believe it at first.
Now I believe it.
Chu Dichi ordered in a deep voice: "Chongfeng, go and check who dares to deliberately murder the emperor under my nose."
"yes!"
Chu Aotian scratched his head, puzzled.
Chu Li walked aside and whispered to Empress Dowager Xin: "Find a nanny to teach him."
Empress Dowager Xin felt somewhat guilty:
"I was negligent. He has been playful and active since he was young. He is in good health and doesn't like women. I always thought he was still young and not in a hurry to marry or take concubines. I didn't expect..."
well.
"I never thought that while I look forward to holding my grandson every day, his brain is like that of a grandson."
Chu Li laughed softly and said:
"Don't worry, Queen Mother. He just doesn't understand. Once he does, maybe there will be good news soon."
Empress Dowager Xin nodded and couldn't help but ask in a low voice:
"Li'er, don't worry about me. It's been so long since you and the Regent came here, why is there still no news of pregnancy?"
Chu Li smiled happily: "As for children, it's up to fate."
Without saying much, it was more important to care about Chu Aotian's health first.
Empress Dowager Xin immediately called a nanny, closed the door and gave Chu Aotian a one-on-one lesson.
Chu Aotian scratched his head:
"Mammy, what do you want to tell me... Why did you close the door...Mammy, what kind of book did you give me... Oh, I'm going to get stye!"
Outside the Panlong Palace.
Hearing the noise in the house, Chu Li just turned around, glanced, then looked away and ignored him.
Soon, Chong Feng came back:
"Master, I have found out that in addition to the meals from the imperial kitchen, the emperor also gets an extra soup cooked by the queen."
"There are a lot of very nourishing herbs in that soup."
Chu Di said slowly, "Please ask the Queen to come over."
Chu Li came over and said, "Uncle, do you suspect that the Queen wants to use this method to spread the royal heir? She is not that kind of person."
She believed in Jiang Wan.
If it weren’t for the peace locket given by Jiang Wan, there might not be Chu Dichi today.
During the time when she was trapped by Chu Yeli, Jiang Wan had been secretly helping her.
Chu Dichi gently held her hand and said:
"It is precisely because she is not that kind of person that I have to call her over to ask her face to face and resolve this matter in a timely manner so that it will not remain there and become a mystery in my heart, which will sooner or later become a hidden danger."
Soon, Jiang Wan arrived.
After learning about this, he couldn't help but be surprised:
"Aunt, the food I gave to His Majesty was given by you!"
"ah?"
"Have you forgotten? That day when you entered the palace, you gave me several doses of medicine, saying they were for the emperor's health. I gave them according to your instructions."
Chu Li slapped his forehead and suddenly remembered this:
"Uncle, didn't we say last time that our eighth brother wasn't very good at sex... not very... The next morning, I saw Doctor Bai prepare the medicine and brought it into the palace."
Bai Jinyi was stunned.
It turned out that the missing medicines were taken away by Chu Li!
He even thought that there was a thief in the Regent's Palace and stole his medicine!
"Those medicines were meant for Ah Chi, but you gave them to the Emperor by mistake. No wonder he has such a strong temper and is worried and anxious..."
As he was speaking, Bai Jinyi realized something was wrong and stopped talking.
The strings in Chu Li's mind were tense:
"Who did you say that to?"
So the tonic medicine is for the emperor’s uncle?
The emperor's uncle is so young, what kind of tonic should he drink?
Could it be that...
She turned her head in astonishment and looked at Chu Dichi: "Before entering the palace, you were talking about impotence in Yayuan, and the impotent person is..."
Bai Jinyi interrupted hurriedly:
"He lifts! He lifts! He just can't have a child!"
"What did you say?!"
In an instant, Empress Dowager Xin, the maids, and the eunuchs all stretched their necks and looked over in shock.
Chu Dichi's face darkened, as gloomy as the dark clouds before a storm.
Bai Jinyi felt a chill on the back of his neck: "..."
It came out as soon as my mouth spoke.
It’s over!
He didn't mean it!
It was all Chu Li’s fault for stealing his medicine, which led to so many things happening later!
Although Chu Li was surprised, she quickly reacted and remembered what her uncle had told her before, that the Emperor Chu had given him a poison that would kill him off if he was a child.
She said in a deep voice:
"Doctor Bai, what nonsense are you talking about? It's obviously me who doesn't want to have a baby."
The palace maids looked over here with gossip in mind.
"The Regent and I haven't gotten married yet. Even if we did, we would have to spend two years alone together before we could think about having children. Who would have a child before getting married? Isn't that a joke?"
Everyone looked surprised.
That makes some sense.
Since ancient times, getting married and having children has naturally been a process of getting married first and then having children.
Besides, the Regent grew up on horseback and is both civil and military, so how could he not have children?
Finally, the conclusion is drawn:
Doctor Bai spread rumors.
How come such a gentle and handsome genius doctor only has a mouth?
Bai Jinyi remained silent, accepting the scrutiny, probing and contempt from all directions, not daring to say a word.
Chu Dichi looked at Chu Li, with a complex expression in his eyes:
"Xiao Jiu..."
Chu Li held his hand.
What a man needs most is face, especially someone like the emperor's uncle. She will not let others criticize him.
It doesn’t matter even if I don’t have any children in my lifetime.
She wanted a child only because she wanted to deepen her bond with him and wanted to be able to look after the child for comfort when he was not around.
It is because of love for him that we have a child.
Not because of the child that I love him.
"Uncle, we are not in a hurry to have children. Don't you always say that I am still young? I also feel that I am still young. Let's wait until I am mature, then we can have children, okay?"
The man's eyes darkened and became softer, almost warming her up: "Okay."
"Let's go back home."
"Um."
Chu Li held Chu Dichi's hand, and they left side by side.
Bai Jinyi looked at the two of them and was about to open his mouth, but no sound came out. However, it seemed that there was no point for him to stay here.
I was in a dilemma.
sigh!
It’s all Chu Li’s fault!
-
Regent's Palace.
The next day.
"Madam, this is the phoenix crown that Wanbao Pavilion just sent. Please take a look at it and see if there is anything you don't like. Please ask someone to modify it as soon as possible." Butler Yang came with eight servants.
They were carrying a tray, which contained not only the phoenix crown but also other jewellery, which was dazzling and extremely luxurious.
The wedding date of Chu Li and Chu Dichi is set for two months later. Chu Aotian will hold the queen coronation ceremony first, and then they will get married.
In fact, Chu Dichi had no intention of giving in.
It was Chu Li's request:
"Now that my eighth brother is the ruler of a country, in order to establish his authority, he must have some prestige, so that it will be easier for him to manage the country in the future. Let him be crowned queen first, and then we can get married."
"Besides, the wedding date is just one before and one after, it won't cost you anything."
Chu Di was not happy:
"Why would I need to consider his face if I want to marry you? My regent princess is no less than any other woman."
Even if the date comes at the end, it won’t work.
One night later.
Glad to.
Chu Dichi contentedly hugged Chu Li's waist and said, "For Xiao Jiu's sake, I have to give that grandson some face."
So, the date was set with great difficulty.
Chu Li gently stroked the phoenix crown on the tray, "It's so gorgeous."
"His Highness said that he has already restrained himself. If the mistress doesn't like this, she can replace it with the ten-kilogram golden crown."
"Won't that break my neck?"
"Ah? Isn't it true that the heavier the gold, the better?" Butler Yang scratched his head, not quite understanding.
Chu Li held his forehead with his hand.
That's all.
Men and women have different perspectives.
"Let's take this Phoenix Coronet."
"Then please pick out your wedding dress, madam!" Butler Yang immediately clapped his hands, and sixteen maids came in carrying luxurious wedding dresses.
In a blink of an eye, the red cloth, gold thread and bright pearls almost blinded Chu Li's eyes.
"This is too dazzling!"
Butler Yang laughed so hard that he couldn't close his mouth:
"How could that be possible? Your Highness specially asked the embroiderer to embroider the South China Sea pearls on the wedding dress. Each pearl is round and full. Now it is just indoors. When it is under the sun, it will be so dazzling!"
"Am I the sun? I must continue to shine."
"ah?"
Doesn’t the mistress like it?
Chu Li rubbed his forehead and said, "Forget it, just follow the Regent's instructions and go down to prepare. You don't need to ask me again."
Her eyes were dazzled.
After sending a group of people away, I went to the garden to look at the flowers and green grass, and I felt a little better.
"Ninth sister!"
Chu Li turned his head, "Who?"
"Ninth sister!"
Before I saw anyone, a voice came from far away outside the courtyard wall. After several seconds, I saw Chu Aotian running towards me, panting.
He looks very anxious.
"What happened to Eighth Brother?"
"Ninth sister!"
Chu Aotian grabbed her hand, his chest heaving as he gasped.
Chu Li's heart tightened, thinking something had happened. Just as she was about to ask, she heard Chu Aotian panting and saying:
"Ninth sister, it's only today that I understand why you are so happy. You simply treat me as an outsider. You didn't tell me about such fun things!"
He is very angry!
Last night, after the hands-on teaching of the nanny, he suddenly had an epiphany, his mind opened up, and he howled like a wolf all night.
It feels so good.
Above.
Today, he came to Chu Li first to complain.
"If you had told me earlier, I wouldn't have played with crickets every day!"
How can a cricket be as fun as sleeping?
Chu Li opened his mouth and almost lost his voice: "Eighth Brother, you are the emperor now, pay attention to your image, be more upright and restrained."
Chu Aotian held her hand and whispered:
"There are no outsiders here, and there's no need to be so formal between you and me. Come on, tell me more about your experience."
"ah?"
"What? It's you and the emperor's uncle... um... that one..."
"Eighth Brother, this isn't good, is it?"
"What's wrong with that? This matter is known to heaven and earth, you and I know it, and I won't tell anyone else."
"this……"
When Chu Li was hesitating, Chu Aotian pulled her over there to talk.
So when Chu Dichi returned home, he walked side by side with Xiao Yexing and saw two people squatting in the corridor from a distance, sticking their buttocks out, whispering in each other's ears:
“Really? Oh my god… is it true… it’s like this…”
Chu Aotian covered his mouth in shock: "Ninth sister, I envy you so much... you can still do this... God..."
