When Gu Xiaochun heard herself being praised, she wiped the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief and started smiling.

Before she could open her mouth, her aunt who was holding Jin'er next to her started talking mysteriously.

"Xiaochun is pregnant again. Look at her complexion. She looks so healthy that you can squeeze water out of her. Who knows, maybe she's going to have a sweet girl."

As soon as she said this, everyone at the table became a little uneasy.

Everyone looked at Gu Xiaochun with surprise. She was not shy at all and nodded with a smile. Su Erlang beside her also looked at her lovingly and then added a sentence.

"It's still early now, only one month, and the baby will be born in September or October next year. Whether it's a girl or a boy, we like them both."

His words filled Gu Xiaoyun's ears with endless envy.

Staying in such a comfortable big family, she also wanted to have more children. If nothing else, she just wanted a daughter as gentle and sweet as Jin'er. But seeing that Zhong'er was still young, she was afraid that she would not have the energy to take care of him, so she decided to give up for the time being.

Du Jingyi was also surprised.

Having a new baby in the family is a good thing. Now that the family is no longer in mourning, no one can say anything.

Besides, once they leave, there will be several less people in the family. If a new child can be born, the vitality of this old house will continue.

So he said to Gu Xiaochun.

"It seems that the fertility-giving Guanyin I had before was really a good one."

"That's what my sister-in-law said."

Although sister-in-law Chen Yinhua did not say anything, there was a hint of gentleness in her expression when she looked at Gu Xiaochun. It was obvious that she was happy from the bottom of her heart that her sister was pregnant again.

The adults were talking about children's matters, and the children were not idle either.

After eating and drinking, they ran around in the hall. Taige'er was the older brother, who could speak fluently and run steadily, so he took his three younger brothers to run here and play there, which made Zhongge'er's eyes bulge and he followed them, giggling.

"Slow down, be careful not to hit your teeth. We have finally grown a full set of teeth. If one falls out, our brother Tai will no longer be a handsome boy."

Fourth Aunt said this jokingly, and when Brother Tai heard this, he grinned and laughed.

"The teeth are white, they are fine."

His appearance made Fourth Aunt so happy that she couldn't help but touch his head. The other triplets were not to be outdone, so they leaned in front of Fourth Aunt, stretched their heads over her and spoke.

"Touch, touch."

Fourth Aunt liked having several children around her, so she touched each of them one by one.

At this point, the triplet brothers were very satisfied.

The one who spoke the fastest and most fluently among them was Congge'er. He lived up to his name and was indeed exceptionally smart. At only one and a half years old, he could already speak in short sentences, which was much faster than Taige'er at the beginning.

Du Jingyi even specially invited Dr. Xia to come for a check-up. After a careful examination, she said that the child was probably calm and could remember what others said, so he gradually imitated them and therefore spoke faster.

As for Ming'er and Wen'er, they seemed a little silly compared to him, especially Wen'er, who looked like he had only grown in height but not in knowledge. When standing together with his two brothers, he was half a head taller than them.

I didn’t know and thought he was born alone, so he was extra big.

But it was such minor differences that made Du Jingyi feel a lot more at ease. Although there were three children in one birth, they should have their own different lives. Three children have three different paths. When they grow up, they can just pursue their own paths.

Thinking of this, the expression on his face when he looked at the children also relaxed a lot.

New Year's Eve ended with the family laughing and chatting happily. When the sun rose on the next day, Daxing's virtuous policy had lasted for 29 years.

In a blink of an eye, Du Jingyi has been married to Gu Shaoyu for seven years.

And she is already in her prime.

She is surrounded by respectable elders, a supportive husband, lovely and intelligent children, and a large group of relatives and friends. It can be said that she is living a very happy life.

Compared to her current happiness, the royal family in Sui'an City is in a completely different situation.

The first day of the Lunar New Year in the twenty-ninth year of Xian De.

It was quiet everywhere in the palace.

The traces of last night's joyful singing and dancing were still scattered everywhere, but the palace servants still got up early as usual, and did their own work quickly and quietly, those who swept the floor, those who took things, none of them were careless.

Under the towering palace walls, as the sun rises, its light shines on all the palaces.

Changchun Palace, main hall.

Empress Guo got up early. She was happy last night and drank two glasses of wine, so she had a slight headache when she got up today. But it was not a big deal. After drinking some honey water, she felt much better. So she asked the palace maids to help her wash and dress up.

Today, Queen Guo still has important things to do.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

The emperor was in poor health, so this year's ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven was personally attended by her, the queen, along with the crown prince and crown princess, and naturally there could be no carelessness at all.

The palace maids were also very attentive. They had prepared the phoenix robes long ago. Now they were tying their hair up into a bun and matching it with the queen's crown with nine phoenixes holding pearls. At first glance, they looked like the gorgeous mothers of the country.

As she was getting dressed, she saw Eunuch Hu walking in. He didn't seem to have changed much in the new year, still the same as before, with a calm expression, and walked in with a hunched back.

"Your servant pays respects to Her Majesty the Queen. May Her Majesty live a thousand years."

Hearing the voice, the queen said "hmm", then asked calmly while looking at the hairpin and step-shaking ornaments in the bronze mirror.

"How about this, is your Majesty feeling better?"

"Eunuch Liu said he felt much better after taking the medicine."

When Eunuch Hu said this, there was nothing special about his expression, but the Queen understood what he meant after taking one look at him, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise.

The snow in Sui'an City has been falling since the end of October.

As the weather turned cold, the emperor, who was already ill, naturally couldn't hold on. If the imperial concubine hadn't increased the dosage of the elixir, I'm afraid he wouldn't even be able to survive this year.

The Queen knew exactly what the purpose was.

But the emperor is now at the end of his strength, and his body has been completely drained by the elixirs. If he can live until the beginning of this spring, it will be considered a blessing from his ancestors.

So Empress Guo is now doing nothing but waiting patiently for the emperor to die. The evidence in her hands is enough to send the imperial concubine and the fourth prince's gang to death.

Thinking of this, she became even more radiant, and the aura of a mother of the nation that originally belonged to her was revealed in a subtle way.

"Now that your majesty is feeling better, please let the concubine take more care of him."

"Yes, madam."

Eunuch Hu received the order and walked out of Changchun Palace. When he left, the palace was filled with peace and tranquility, but the imperial concubine, who was taking care of the emperor, looked increasingly unhappy.

This is the fourth time I have been sick since September. I don’t know what to say. I will post the third update at around noon. Sorry, sorry.
