Li Yu had just woken up, his temples were throbbing, and his head was still dizzy. He looked carefully and saw that Wang Xi was still playing eagle and chicken with the children, and he was not talking.
He guessed that he was dreaming.
But this dream was very real. According to King Jing's current status, it was too early for him to become popular. The emperor asked King Jing to help with government affairs, which in a sense was an acknowledgement of King Jing's status.
The second prince (An Hou), who was said to be about to be appointed as the crown prince, did not expect such treatment from the emperor, not to mention the third prince (Ping Hou) who was too enthusiastic.
But King Jing was different. As the only legitimate prince alive, he had also cured his most criticized muteness and had the merit of saving the emperor. Why didn't the emperor choose King Jing?
Ministers might have hesitated to support King Jing before, but now they just followed the emperor's will.
Li Yu had heard Wang Xi talk about how glorious King Jing was now.
Apart from other things, the emperor had ordered King Jing to take charge of government affairs, and every day after court, there were so many officials waiting to walk the same path with His Royal Highness King Jing that they couldn't be counted on one hand.
These officials had not been able to curry favor with King Jing before because of the complicated situation, and if they didn't curry favor with him now, they would be fools.
But King Jing remembered the emperor's taboos and didn't associate with these people.
Except for Zheng Jing, the assistant minister of the Ministry of Works, King Jing occasionally talked to him.
Because King Jing had worked in the Ministry of Works, and Zheng Jing was the person who assisted him at that time, it was normal for them to have some friendship.
If other people wanted to flatter King Jing, King Jing would respond coldly, and it would not be easy.
Wang Xi said in front of Li Yu how glorious his master was. At most, he was just making his master proud, but he didn't dare to say anything else.
King Jing was busy with government affairs, so the important task of taking care of Li Yu was entrusted to Eunuch Wang. Because this time the baby was born in human form, King Jing could tell Wang Xi to be careful. The princess was pregnant again, and Wang Xi was very happy. How could he dare to gossip in front of Li Yu.
Are there any ladies who want to marry King Jing as a concubine? There must be, and there are many, but King Jing himself never paid attention to it and didn't take it seriously. How could Wang Xi bring it up?
But Li Yu was sensitive during her pregnancy, and she subconsciously imagined the crisis.
And the more I think about it, the more it makes sense.
In ancient times, men had three wives and four concubines. Although Li Yu was somewhat sure about King Jing himself, there was still the emperor above King Jing. What if those ministers failed to beg King Jing and turned to beg the emperor? If the emperor suddenly felt like sending some godsons to King Jing, it would be difficult to refuse. Would he stage a scene where a carp spirit tore apart a fox spirit with bare hands?
No, the old top must be his alone!
Li Yu stood up. He might have taken another nap if he woke up from his sleep before, but now he had no intention of continuing to sleep. He stood up and was about to look for King Jing. Coincidentally, King Jing brought a few imperial doctors back home.
These imperial doctors were all experts in obstetrics appointed by the emperor. Li Yu didn’t usually have much contact with them, so he didn’t recognize them at first sight. His previous dream had confused his mind, so he thought that these people were trying to get King Jing to marry his daughter. Li Yu was dumbfounded and said sourly, “You brought the person back?”
He thought King Jing would definitely say no firmly, and would ignore the other party, whether it was an old man who was a matchmaker or a beautiful and elegant lady from a noble family. But that’s it? King Jing almost brought the person under his nose, okay!
Is it true that if a man is reliable, even pigs will climb trees?
The wife suddenly became sad and angry, and didn’t know what happened. King Jing was confused:?
Even if King Jing had a high IQ, he didn't know where the fish's brain was. However, King Jing had some experience and generally didn't understand what Xiaoyu said. It was always right to follow it, and the imperial physician was here to diagnose Xiaoyu, so King Jing nodded.
Li Yu was instantly furious, pointing at his nose and asking sadly: "Then are you going to take their daughter into the mansion next?"
The imperial physicians: "..."
The imperial physicians were all hit by a huge pot. One imperial physician trembled and said: "Princess, my daughter is only three years old."
Another imperial physician said weakly: "Princess, my daughter is already the mother of three children."
Li Yu: "..."
Li Yu was surprised that he seemed to have made a mistake. After a careful look, some of these "ministers" were carrying small... medicine boxes. Oh, it turned out that they were all imperial physicians!
Because in this world, the imperial physician is also an official, with a rank, and wears the same official uniform as the court officials. Li Yu had already made up his mind, and he didn't think that the one who followed King Jing back to the palace might not be the concubine's family, but might also be the imperial physician.
This... is really embarrassing!
Such an embarrassing thing, the world's number one fish can't admit it. Li Yu took a deep breath, changed his face quickly, smiled flatteringly at the imperial physician, and took the initiative to extend his wrist and said: "Imperial physician, are you here to check my pulse?"
"The princess is right." The imperial physician in the mist finally breathed a sigh of relief.
King Jing could see the little fish's face change with his naked eyes, and he knew that the fish must have misunderstood something, but his body was in danger, so King Jing held back his laughter, first made a note of the fish, and asked the imperial physician to check the princess's pulse.
The doctors were all focused on the business, so when Li Yu came and talked a lot, the doctors didn't think much about it.
It is said that pregnant women are emotionally unstable. The doctors said that occasionally getting angry and yelling is not considered a big deal, and there are also women who scold their husbands before giving birth.
After several people examined the princess's pulse, they all said that the princess was in good health and had been pregnant for nearly three months.
Several doctors had heard that this male princess could give birth to a child, and they were very curious. Now they have seen it for themselves. She is indeed pregnant.
The imperial physician who was once sent by the emperor to the western frontier also came this time. Last time, he examined the pulse of the pregnant "Princess Jing" through the curtains. It had been a long time since then. Li Yu was really pregnant, but the imperial physician could not see anything and just congratulated King Jing. After
even the imperial physician had finished examining, King Jing thought that Dabao and the others' affairs were completely resolved.
King Jing asked the imperial physician about some precautions, and then sent the imperial physician away, asking them to report the good news to the emperor.
All the outsiders had left, and King Jing looked at Li Yu with a smile.
Li Yu knew that something was wrong, and looked at the four treasures pitifully, hoping that his sons would step forward to distract the attention of their father King Jing, but unfortunately, the other three of Yu's sons were looking elsewhere, and only the fourth treasure received Yu's father's pleading gaze.
Sibao, save me! Li Yu lip-synced.
Although Sibao was a little slow to react, he could still tell that Yu's father needed help, so he bravely walked over with his short legs.
Li Yu was overjoyed. King Jing usually loved Sibao the most, and as long as Sibao acted coquettishly, everything would be fine.
Li Yu tried to cover up with his son, but King Jing also had a plan to deal with it, and his eyes quickly glanced at Wang Xi.
Wang Xi was about to arrange for the young masters to have a snack, so he smiled and picked up Sibao: "Young Master, can I take you to eat peach blossom cakes and candies?"
Although Sibao didn't like to eat as much as Erbao, he couldn't resist the double temptation of peach blossom cakes and candies, especially since he had been playing for a long time and was a little hungry.
Sibao had to blink his eyes and look back at Yudi apologetically.
It doesn't matter, Daddy King Jing will definitely help Yudi swallow, Sibao thought.
Then little Sibao and his brothers followed Wang Xi away.
Li Yu: "..."
This unreliable kid!
What, is it too late to pretend to be sleepy now?
Li Yu deliberately yawned and pretended to go back to the house to sleep. Maybe when he woke up, King Jing would forget that he was messing around.
However, King Jing had a good memory and stopped the fish in time, dragged it back and tightly circled it.
Now Princess Yu had no way to escape.
King Jing smiled and asked the person in his arms: "Little Fish, tell me, who wants to enter the palace?"
Li Yu: "..."
Li Yu's denial failed, so he had to tell the dream. Although it was a dream, it still made Yu very angry when he recalled it. Li Yu said angrily: "It's those women who want to be your concubines!"
King Jing: "…………"
King Jing coughed lightly. He had something to think about, so he had a dream. He had promised before that he would not take a concubine, but he didn't expect that Xiaoyu still had this worry.
"Don't worry, there won't be anyone else." King Jing said softly. What concubine?
King Jing only knew that he should not allow others to snore beside his bed. One fish was enough for him!
When Li Yu learned of King Jing's attitude, his eyes curved into crescents, and he did not forget to ask: "What about father?"
"Father won't do that either." King Jing hugged the fish and slowly told him something.
In fact, Li Yu's intuition is still relatively accurate in analyzing the current situation.
The emperor did ask King Jing about the concubine.
After all, marriage is a way to consolidate power.
But King Jing sternly refused.
The emperor just asked casually, and after finding out King Jing's attitude, he did not force it. It is true that some ministers had asked the emperor, but unlike what Li Yu thought, the emperor did not want to issue an edict to grant marriage to these ministers.
There are many reasons why the emperor didn't want to do it. One of them is that the emperor used to worry a lot about the marriage of Prince Jing. At that time, the families that liked him all said that their daughters could not marry Prince Jing for various reasons. The emperor knew in his heart that this was a polite refusal. Now that Prince Jing's muteness has been cured, he has been valued by him and is about to become the crown prince, these families are beginning to ask the grandfather to ask for help to marry their daughters into the Prince Jing's mansion.
It's just like being arrogant at first and respectful later.
The emperor's mood is similar to Wang Xi's. He didn't like his son before, but now he wants to curry favor with him?
It's too late!
Besides, the Princess of Jing is a good one, and the emperor doesn't want to make things difficult for others. The emperor himself has been in a shadow because of the troubles of Princess Langya. What if he also finds a troublesome one for Prince Jing?
Having many children is a good excuse, but it is not a problem for Prince Jing at all.
Of course, if the King of Jing himself expressed his desire to surrender, the emperor would definitely not stop him. Since the King of Jing had clearly stated that he did not want to, the emperor would not force him.
After finding a way to the ministers in front of the emperor, the emperor immediately said to them in a refreshed manner, there was no way, not even I could convince the King of Jing...
"That's what my father thinks."
The King of Jing whispered the emperor's attitude.
Li Yu's cheeks were flushed, and he didn't know whether he was shy or ashamed.
He had misunderstood the emperor. In fact, the emperor was also a human being. If you were nice to the emperor, the emperor would not make it difficult.
With the "double" guarantee, Li Yu's heart was completely settled.
"...I'm sorry, I suddenly couldn't control myself." Li Yu apologized with his head down.
He didn't know what was wrong. Recently, he always felt a burst of anger rising up, and his head was dizzy, as if he was blinded by lard.
After calming down, he felt that he was unreasonable.
"It's not your fault... The imperial physician said that pregnancy will be more sensitive."
King Jing remembered the imperial physician's words and rubbed Li Yu's head to show that he didn't care.
"Besides, you care about me too."
King Jing said with a smile. Xiaoyu was straightforward and rarely lost her temper with him. This was the first time she was so unreasonable.
Even if Xiaoyu pointed at his nose and scolded him, he liked it.
If the two people were in the other place, Xiaoyu brought a group of men to the door...
The consequences would only be much more serious.
Li Yu was comforted by King Jing, and King Jing didn't have to do hard labor for the emperor anymore. With the company of Lao Gong, Li Yu's mood soon improved.
On the other side, several imperial physicians who examined Li Yu reported the diagnosis results to the emperor together.
Princess Jing is really pregnant.
The emperor couldn't help but smile, and flipped through the memorial approved by King Jing. He originally wanted to choose a day to issue an order, but now he didn't have to wait any longer.
It's better to choose a day, wouldn't it be better to have a double happiness?
