That morning, when Xia Muyan came to Fengyi Palace, Li Shushu was leaning on the swing in the yard, swinging lazily.
He walked over naturally, held her and laid her on his lap, and picked up a grape from the plate next to her.
"I've heard from folklore that children conceived in autumn have the best fortunes," Xia Muyan said casually while peeling grapes.
The deep purple skin looks delicious at first glance. When the purple skin fades away, the green and transparent flesh inside is revealed, and the fruity fragrance is everywhere.
Li Shushu lay on his lap, feeling the urge to swallow. "Why?"
Xia Muyan knew without even looking that she was very greedy, so he didn't tease her and quickly fed the food into her mouth.
The cherry-red lips and the tip of her tongue accidentally touched his bony but clean and neat fingertips, making his body numb for a moment.
"I heard that autumn is a season of harvest, and there are a wide variety of fruits in autumn. If a pregnant mother eats more fruits, wouldn't the baby in her belly also enjoy the benefits?"
"Yeah, that makes sense!" Li Shushu understood. "These grapes are so sweet, so delicious!"
Xia Muyan: "Really?"
"Really! If you don't believe me, why don't you try it?" Li Shushu nodded vigorously.
Xia Muyan had just peeled another one and was about to put it in her mouth.
Hearing this, his handsome eyebrows raised, with an unclear expression on his face, "Okay!"
He casually placed the crystal-clear green flesh on her lips. When she opened her lips and was about to take it in, he lowered his head and moved closer...
"Hmm, it's delicious." He raised his head slightly and took a bite. Juice overflowed and his mouth was full of fragrance.
He muttered, "I want to eat more."
Suddenly, he hugged her and made her sit on his lap.
"Well, Your Majesty... Your Majesty..., it's still daytime." The swing was shaking violently, and Li Shushu was a little unsteady. She couldn't help but put her arms around his neck and reminded him in a trembling voice.
"It's okay, I've already ordered the palace gates to be closed..."
"But..., there are still people..."
"Oh? That's right.... You all should leave."
"yes!"
…
"Shu'er, let's have another child..."
"good!"
…
...In the second half of the night, before Li Shushu fainted from exhaustion, he did not forget to cast the auspicious spell of dragon and phoenix on himself.
That month, Xia Muyan came to Fengyi Palace early every day after court.
For the sake of his upcoming child, he worked extra hard and diligently...
So, when the news came from Fengyi Palace again a month later that the queen was pregnant, although he was very happy, he was not surprised at all, because he had a premonition that he would soon become a father again.
The emperor was more excited.
After the Moon Worship Festival, the emperor was extremely depressed for a while.
Although his health was still okay, his mood was always not very good. The government affairs no longer needed his concern. When he had nothing to do, he would just pull the old eunuch next to him to play chess with him.
Before, General Bai often came to accompany him, and the two of them had a kind of friendship regardless of age difference. But after the treason incident, the two of them could never go back to the way they were before.
When Xia Muyan came to tell him in person that the queen was pregnant again, the emperor, who was playing chess, trembled his hand and a chess piece rolled directly from his hand to under the table.
"Good, good, well done. I didn't expect that I could hear such good news in my lifetime." As the emperor spoke, his eyes became moist. He knew that his life was coming to an end. The last time his grandson accidentally died, he was afraid that he would never be able to wait for another one.
"Yan'er, I have been regretting all this time that I should have given the throne to you earlier. If I had given it to you earlier, perhaps the things that happened later wouldn't have happened!"
After Xia Muyan returned to the court, he thought about giving up the throne, but he felt that there were still many unstable factors in the former court and the harem. He was worried that Xia Muyan would not be able to cope with it when he first returned to the court.
She was also worried that he would act too extreme and would not be able to effectively balance the relationship between herself and the imperial concubine, and she was afraid that they would fight and both would suffer losses.
He also thought that he would soon be buried in the earth after all, so he was not afraid of being scolded. He would clear away some obstacles and hindrances while he was still in power, and try to leave a clearer court for him.
However, he never expected that his son was more intelligent, decisive and resourceful than he had imagined.
In short, it means being far better than yourself.
Whether he was dealing with palace coups, droughts, or locust plagues, whether he was faced with forced childbirth or talent shows, he handled it all in his own way, and the results were pretty good.
Therefore, during this period of time, he often reflected on himself: if he had abdicated the throne to him earlier, would the outcome have been less tragic?
At least, their eldest grandson will not be harmed by anyone?
"Father, it's all in the past!" Xia Muyan knew what his father was thinking. He took his hand, looked into his eyes seriously and said, "The past cannot be retrieved. You don't need to think too much. Look, isn't he back again?
Now I have you, Shuer, and a child. The court is stable and the world is at peace. I am very content.
You, don't think about anything, just take good care of yourself and wait to hold your big fat grandchild!"
"Good! Good!" A rare glimmer of sunshine appeared in the gloomy heart of the retired emperor, and the smile on his face, which had not been seen for a long time, finally returned a little. "Father will cooperate with the imperial physician and do his best to wait until he can meet my grandson."
