Chapter 252: Vicious Female Supporting Character vs. Childless Emperor 96
Long Lin carried Ji Yunhuan all the way back to Yongshou Palace.
Huan'er's belly was already showing a little. Long Lin put his face on Huan'er's belly and whispered:
"When our child is born, I will treat him very well. I will never let him get hurt. I will give him all the good things in the world, and he will grow up happily."
"Too many women in the palace is a calamity. Who knows if they will have evil intentions in the future? Let them all go. I just want you and your child to be safe."
Ji Yunhuan touched Long Lin's head, as if he was caressing the little boy many years ago, and smiled very gently, "Okay, okay, I'll listen to you. A Lin is so good, he will definitely be a good father."
The two hugged each other for a long time and talked until late at night.
Long Lin imagined that there were children's laughter and the sound of reading in the Lama Temple. He hoped to have both a son and a daughter, a girl as pretty and cute as Huan'er, and a son as talented in both literature and martial arts as he was.
He had never received love from his parents in his life, so he hoped that in the future he would have a loving father, filial sons, friendly brothers, respectful younger brothers, and harmonious sisters without any disputes.
At this moment, Long Lin had no idea of the chaos that would follow. A certain careless little bastard almost took away half his life!
After the Mid-Autumn Festival, the "Empress Dowager" left the palace to pray for the country. The emperor arranged many palace maids to serve her and also sent the imperial guards to follow and protect her. Everyone in the capital praised the emperor for his filial piety.
In order to put on a full show, Long Lin planned to let the Queen Mother die of illness in two years.
All of Jiang's cronies were imprisoned, and Long Lin spared no one who colluded with local princes. Without the Jiang family's mediation, those princes acted on their own and could not achieve anything.
Prime Minister Ji took his men on a tour of the major fiefdoms, and all the princes were "invited" to the capital, and their fiefdoms were taken over by officials sent by the emperor.
Inside the Lama Temple.
Ji Yunhuan widened his eyes in surprise, "Daddy is so powerful? I thought Daddy was just a scholar, but it turns out that Daddy can kill people!"
Long Lin grabbed Huan'er who was jumping and skipping, frowned and said, "Be careful, don't fall."
Huan'er has gained a lot of weight recently, and her belly is bigger than that of the average pregnant woman. Her legs and feet are also swollen as if they were inflated. Every time he sees Huan'er jumping around, he gets terrified, fearing that something might go wrong with her.
Ji Yunhuan also felt her body getting heavier, but she couldn't sit still, so she stayed in the house all the time. It would be more convenient to kill her.
"Hurry up and dig them. Lotus roots are the best now. They are sweet and sticky, and are perfect for making soup."
The river in the courtyard had been dug into pieces, with the remaining lotus leaves thrown on the shore. Several eunuchs were stepping on the mud at the bottom of the river, slowly groping their way around.
Who would have thought that the Queen Mother planted lotus not for enjoying the flowers in summer, but for eating lotus roots.
Qiao Yue spread a thick cushion on the couch. Long Lin pulled Huan'er to sit down by the river and took out a cloak and put it on Huan'er.
"Okay, stop moving. Do you still want to listen to the story?"
Ji Yunhuan blinked her big eyes and nodded vigorously, "Yes, yes, yes!"
Long Lin couldn't help but pinch Huan'er's round little face. After she got fatter, it felt better to pinch.
"Prime Minister Ji was also the top scholar of the year, and his talent was well-known throughout the world. At that time, the capital was in turmoil and there were endless struggles. He relied on no one and spent his days in the Imperial Academy. Later, he entered the palace to teach the princes, but in fact, the courses were not important, and it was not his turn to teach important courses."
"Only I know that he is also very good at martial arts. He taught me martial arts. In my heart, he is like a teacher and a father. He is more like my father than my father the Emperor."
"The princes were fighting fiercely. They each held their own troops and fought in the palace. The fire at the city gate affected all the fish in the pond. If it weren't for Prime Minister Ji's bravery in protecting me, I, an insignificant little fish, would have died long ago."
Ji Yunhuan clapped his hands and exclaimed, "Daddy is so amazing! My second brother is so arrogant every day, but he is just a reckless man who studies martial arts. Daddy is a master of both literature and martial arts, which is the real skill."
Concubine Lan came to the Queen with the account book. Seeing that His Majesty was also there, she was a little scared. She bowed silently and stood aside, not daring to speak.
Long Lin frowned and said, "Didn't I tell you to send them all out? Why is there still one left?"
Ji Yunhuan felt that her brain wasn't working very well after she got pregnant. She counted on her fingers:
"The Defei has gone to Suzhou to reunite with her mother. There are a few who are willing to go out and marry. I have given them all dowries. One has gone to the temporary palace to recuperate, and two have said they want to stay and be my maids. Who else..."
The wound on Lanpin's face has healed a lot and is not very obvious after covering it with makeup, but she no longer cares about this little thing.
Not only did she help the Queen manage the harem, but more importantly, she also helped the Queen manage her dowry. The Queen's dowry was getting more and more because Prime Minister Ji and Madam Ji kept sending it to her.
If she left, the Queen would be so confused now that she might not even know how much money she has.
"Your Majesty, please stop calculating. There is no one left but me! If I don't keep an eye on you, you will probably give away mountains of gold and silver. No matter how much money you have, it cannot withstand such a waste."
"Your Majesty, please don't look at me like that. There are so many women around the Queen. If you send them all away, who will take care of her? Who will help her with work? I am not your Majesty's person, I am the Queen's person. It's useless for you to glare at me, and you can't drive me away!"
Ji Yunhuan nodded vigorously, "Sister Lan is right! Don't be afraid of him, I'll protect you!"
After Long Lin found out Huan'er was pregnant, not only did her temper get worse, but her mentality also became more and more like a child. He could only stroke her and could not afford to offend her at all.
"Okay, okay, then keep her. Erxi is still waiting for you in the room. You should feed Erxi."
Ji Yunhuan ran into the house quickly, and Long Lin supported her from behind, fearing that she would fall.
Ji Yunhuan ate, drank and entertained Erxi, and soon it was the end of the year.
Her belly was getting bigger and bigger, so the ceremony of crowning the queen had to be postponed. However, Long Lin still took her to offer sacrifices to heaven and earth. Long Lin was afraid that she would be tired, so he carried her down from the altar.
Wang Fengchang, who was presiding over the sacrifice, acted as if he didn't see anything and continued with the process with a solemn face.
In February of the following year, the spring was still chilly, and the plum blossoms outside the window were in full bloom, looking fiery red against the white snow.
Ji Yunhuan entered the delivery room. Long Lin was so anxious that he was walking around in the snow. He was so worried that he couldn't calm down at all.
Prime Minister Ji managed to remain calm, sitting at the door and listening attentively to the noises in the delivery room.
Zhuo Wei was accompanying her daughter in the delivery room. Seeing her daughter sweating profusely, she cried with heartache.
Ji Yunhuan felt warm all over, as if she was soaking in hot water. Her birth canal opened automatically and everything went smoothly. She could even spare some time to comfort her mother.
"I'm fine, really nothing happened, I just look scary, don't cry, mom, you will be able to hold your grandson soon."
"Wow~" accompanied by a crisp cry, Ji Yunhuan felt that something had gone out and his body felt a lot lighter.
The midwife wrapped the child in soft bright yellow silk and brought it to the queen, saying with a smile:
"Congratulations Queen, it's a beautiful little princess!"
