Smart!
Very smart!
The palace fighting skills of Emperor Jingli are simply off the charts!
Liao Qingqing didn't even have to think about it, and Emperor Jingli solved Concubine Liang. She was originally worried about whether the poison powder would affect the child or something, but now she doesn't have to worry about it. She hugged Emperor Jingli's arm and flattered him, saying, "Your Majesty, you are really the smartest person I have ever seen!"
"That's right!" Emperor Jingli was proud.
"But--" Liao Qingqing paused.
"But what?"
"Your Majesty, your palace fighting skills are so high? Will there be a day when you treat me like this?" Liao Qingqing said.
Emperor Jingli answered without hesitation, "Definitely not."
"Why?"
"It's not worth the trouble to deal with you."
"??? Are you saying I'm stupid?"
"No."
"Then what do you mean?"
"I can deal with you in bed, there's no need to deal with you under the bed."
"..." Driving in public!
Emperor Jingli smiled and hugged Liao Qingqing, saying, "You think too much."
"Why do I think too much?"
"You can't think that warriors will kill their lovers because they kill their enemies, right?"
"Did I seem to be changing the concept just now?"
"That's right." Emperor Jingli kissed Liao Qingqing's forehead, and said softly, "Doctor Fan told me that when a woman is pregnant, she will always think about all kinds of things and lose her temper. Sure enough, he was talking about you."
"Did I lose my temper?" Liao Qingqing asked.
"No, I just tend to have wild thoughts." Emperor Jingli held Liao Qingqing's neck with his hand, rested his forehead against Liao Qingqing's, and said in a very gentle voice: "Qingqing, you have to believe me, I want you to be well, I want you to be well, and you will be well."
"Your Majesty." Liao Qingqing called out.
"Hmm?"
"You are so domineering."
Emperor Jingli was slightly stunned, then smiled and said: "Whatever Qingqing said, that's what it is."
Liao Qingqing smiled.
Emperor Jingli took Liao Qingqing into his arms, and said with some emotion: "I have seen too many fights between concubines in the harem since I was a child. Whenever two or more concubines fought, my father always tried to smooth things over, fueling the arrogance of the harem fighting day by day, and even caused my mother to-"
Emperor Jingli paused slightly.
Liao Qingqing asked, "What happened to my mother?"
Emperor Jingli said, "My mother had a miscarriage."
Liao Qingqing was shocked.
Emperor Jingli said, "At that time, I swore that if I ascended the throne one day, I would never be like my father."
No wonder!
No wonder Emperor Jingli's palace fighting skills are so strong!
He has practiced them since he was a child.
"But you have many concubines in the harem like the late emperor." Liao Qingqing added.
"My harem is less than one-fifth of the late emperor's."
"So does Your Majesty feel that you have lost out?"
Emperor Jingli gently pinched Liao Qingqing's hand and said, "When you talk to me, you become more and more courageous."
Liao Qingqing was silent.
Emperor Jingli said softly: "My concubines in the harem are not what Qingqing thinks. Some of them, like Concubine De, voluntarily entered the palace to save their families; some, like Concubine Liang, relied on the merits of their ancestors and wanted more glory; and some did not want to be with men in the world and just wanted to live a lazy life. Most of them are not sincere to me."
"...Your Majesty, you make yourself sound so pitiful."
"I am not pitiful, I have Qingqing."
"Your Majesty, in fact, I entered the palace to live a lazy life."
Emperor Jingli was stunned, then stretched out his hand and slapped Liao Qingqing on the buttocks as a punishment, saying: "I don't care whether you live a lazy life or not, anyway, you can't escape in this life, you are my wife!"
Liao Qingqing smiled.
"Is it?" Emperor Jingli asked again in a deliberately childish way.
Liao Qingqing did not answer.
Emperor Jingli continued to ask: "Is it true?"
Liao Qingqing had no choice but to answer with a smile: "Yes, yes, yes."
"I will ask my son again."
As he said this, Emperor Jingli leaned over and put his face on Liao Qingqing's belly to talk to her belly.
Liao Qingqing looked down at this scene.
She had seen it many times, but her heart was still filled with warmth.
As for the matter of Liang Guiren, she soon put it behind her.
However, the matter of Liang Guiren did not end so quickly.
Because of Liang Guiren's poisoning of the heir, Emperor Jingli brought the crimes of the Liang family to the stage. After demoting the Liang family, he also pulled out several officials who colluded with the Liang family. They were all corrupt people. Emperor Jingli dealt with them vigorously, and the people applauded.
The court officials were also convinced.
In addition, in the harem, because of the incident with Concubine Liang, all the concubines were frightened. Thinking back to Concubine Liang's allergic face, several concubines were frightened and fell ill. The rest of the people saw that Emperor Jingli was so protective of Liao Qingqing, and their restless hearts also stopped.
No one dared to provoke the Empress.
After the incident with Concubine Liang, Empress Liao Qingqing was often surrounded by various guards to protect her well. She was very uncomfortable at first, but later, for the safety of the child, she endured it. She
got used to it in a few days.
At this time, she was already eight months pregnant and less than two months away from birth. Liao Qingqing suddenly became a little nervous. In
this era, medical conditions were poor, there were no incubators for caesarean sections, and natural births were the only option. The mortality rate of mothers and children during childbirth was still very high.
She suddenly felt scared.
In order to have a better birth, she followed the doctor's instructions for her daily diet. Now she would take a walk after meals and every night.
This was to ensure a smooth birth.
As the due date approached, Liao Qingqing began to get nervous. She even had a dream at night that she laid an egg. Not long after, the egg hatched and an extremely ugly dinosaur came out, scaring her and making her scream. It was her
first time giving birth, and she became more and more nervous.
Emperor Jingli also noticed her difference. He hugged her and asked, "Qingqing, what's wrong? You look worried."
Liao Qingqing held Emperor Jingli's hand and said weakly, "Your Majesty, I'm afraid."
Liao Qingqing has always been heartless and smiling. Even when facing Liang Guiren and others, she is very calm. How could she be so worried? Emperor Jingli was heartbroken. He put one hand on Liao Qingqing's shoulders and the other hand on Liao Qingqing's big belly, as if he was holding a precious baby. He asked, "Tell me, what are you afraid of?"
Liao Qingqing said aggrievedly, "I'm afraid that the baby will not be cute."
"Impossible, Qingqing's babies are all cute."
"What if the baby is a monster?"
"No matter what Qingqing gives birth to, I like it."
"Really?" Liao Qingqing asked.
"Really."
"If I die after giving birth, will Your Majesty still love my baby?" Liao Qingqing asked again.
"What nonsense!" Emperor Jingli said with a sullen face.
Liao Qingqing's mentality, affected by hormones, suddenly collapsed. Her eyes turned red and she said, "Your Majesty, you are mean to me, you are mean to me."
She wanted to cry. She
wanted to cry very much.
She wanted to cry very, very much.
Emperor Jingli immediately softened and patted Liao Qingqing's shoulder gently, saying, "I am not mean to you. I have no intention of being mean to you at all."
Liao Qingqing didn't know what happened to her.
She just couldn't bear it all of a sudden.
She burst into tears in sadness.
Emperor Jingli was so distressed that he wiped Liao Qingqing's tears and kissed her cheek, saying, "Don't cry, don't cry, I was wrong, I was wrong. What I meant was that as long as I was here, the child would be fine, and you would be even finer. I am the emperor, and I asked the heaven for Qingqing, and the heaven would definitely agree."
Liao Qingqing asked, "Really?"
Emperor Jingli nodded, "Really."
Liao Qingqing suddenly became fragile, but after being comforted by Emperor Jingli, her mood quickly stabilized. She ate, drank, slept, and took a leisurely walk when she was supposed to.
She lived a very comfortable life.
But Emperor Jingli couldn't do it. He had some little emotions in his heart, so he talked to Liao Qingqing and acted coquettishly. Liao Qingqing coaxed him, and he was fine.
But he couldn't tell Liao Qingqing about the dangers of childbirth. If he told her, Liao Qingqing would be worried and afraid, and she would not eat or sleep well, and he would be heartbroken.
So he worried and feared alone.
He specially called Doctor Fan and the pregnant woman to ask about the dangers of childbirth. If he didn't ask, he wouldn't know. When he asked, he was shocked. What about dystocia, what about hemorrhage, etc. The more he listened, the more scared he became. The more scared he became, the more he attributed it to Liao Qingqing, and the more he attributed it to Liao Qingqing, the more uncomfortable he felt.
As a result, he couldn't eat well during the day, couldn't sleep well at night, and lost a lot of weight. The old court officials thought that Emperor Jingli was worried about the people of the world, and they were relieved and advised Emperor Jingli to take care of himself.
Emperor Jingli nodded, and after the court session, he was alone in the study with the Minister of War, Zuo Shilang and others to discuss matters. At this time, Fusheng appeared at the door with an anxious look.
Emperor Jingli was particularly nervous today. Seeing Fusheng like this, he immediately asked, "Fusheng, what's the matter?"
"Your Majesty, the Empress is about to give birth."
"What?" Emperor Jingli stood up suddenly, and before he could stand still, he took a big step and almost fell. Fortunately, he was supported by a young eunuch. He didn't care about anything else. As soon as he stood still, he immediately walked out of the palace.
The court officials saw Emperor Jingli so panicked for the first time. They looked at each other and suddenly thought that the Empress was about to give birth, so they understood.
As soon as Emperor Jingli walked out of the palace, he
walked quickly without the sedan chair. Fusheng and others ran behind him.
Emperor Jingli asked nervously, "Has the Empress given birth yet?"
Fusheng said, "Not yet."
"When will she give birth?"
"I don't know." Fusheng answered cautiously.
Emperor Jingli didn't know either. He heard that some babies take a day and a night to give birth. Thinking of "a day and a night", Emperor Jingli felt dizzy.
He walked faster.
Fortunately, the Zhengqian Palace was close.
When they were about to reach the Zhengqian Palace, the Empress Dowager appeared with the support of Nanny Chang. She also looked nervous.
"Son pays respect to mother." Emperor Jingli said.
"Stop paying respect." The Empress Dowager spoke so quickly for the first time, saying, "I heard that the Empress had a stomachache half an hour ago, and she hasn't given birth yet."
Half an hour ago?
Emperor Jingli felt dizzy again.
The Queen Mother urged, "Go and have a look."
Emperor Jingli immediately followed the Queen Mother into a courtyard of the Zhengqian Palace. Seeing the maids coming and going, both of them looked nervous.
Especially Emperor Jingli, his face turned slightly pale. He had never been so worried and scared before, as if his heart was about to jump out of his throat. When he saw a maid carrying a basin of blood, he couldn't help but stagger. Fusheng
hurriedly supported her: "Your Majesty."
Emperor Jingli waved his hand.
Fusheng retreated.
Emperor Jingli and the Queen Mother walked forward. When they were about to ask about the situation, a child's clear and powerful cry suddenly came from the room: "Waaa——"
The author has something to say: -
Emperor Jingli: Is it born?
Queen Mother: It's born so quickly.
Child: I want to come out quickly and not to bother my mother!
Emperor Jingli: Who are you?
Child: Father, I am your baby!
Emperor Jingli: Nonsense! My baby is Qingqing.
Child: =口=!
