Chapter 90 From now on, the king will not attend the morning court (extra)
The scene just now was too horrifying. No one could believe that the woman who was playing the piano gracefully on the rockery just now was struck to death by lightning. However, when they looked at the motionless figure lying on the ground in the rain, they had to believe it.
She was covered in black, and there was no trace of her original pretty appearance. All the people who were taking shelter from the rain stood there in a daze. Some of the timid ladies and concubines had already screamed in fear.
The attic where Xie Fei and others took shelter from the rain was the closest place to the rockery. Several people saw the scene clearly, and even an arrogant person like Gao Baoxi was frightened, not to mention the other concubines. They gathered together and talked in low voices anxiously.
"Your Majesty, I feel uncomfortable..." At this moment, Jiang Zhen frowned and gasped softly. Her delicate body shook weakly. She stretched out her hand and just pulled Xie Fei's sleeve, and in the next moment, she fell down with a blur in front of her eyes.
Xie Fei quickly hugged her, and then he realized that she was terribly cold, and her whole body was shivering slightly. The biting cold instantly penetrated the thin gauze and reached his hands. He panicked and immediately shouted, "Quick, Zhang Dezi, hand me the cloak, and send someone to call the imperial physician!"
Zhang Dezi quickly handed over the cloak. Xie Fei took it, wrapped Jiang Zhen in it, leaned over, picked her up by the waist, and strode towards Kunning Palace in the rain. When Zhang Dezi saw him, he quickly chased after him with an umbrella.
The cold wind mixed with rain blew over, and Jiang Zhen shivered subconsciously. She clutched Xie Fei's clothes tightly with her small hands, curled herself up in his arms, closed her eyelashes and trembled slightly, her brows were furrowed, her little face was pale, and her originally pink lips were a little black. Beads of water flowed down her forehead, who knew whether they were rain or sweat. She felt so uncomfortable that she couldn't help but gasp.
Xie Fei was startled, turned around and took two steps back, bumping into Zhang Dezi who was chasing him. Zhang Dezi was delighted, but before he could say anything, his umbrella was taken away. While he was stunned, Xie Fei's cold voice came from the front: "Zhang Dezi, if I don't see the imperial physician within a quarter of an hour, I will hold you accountable."
Zhang Dezi's scalp tightened, and he ran to the Imperial Hospital in the rain: "Yes, yes, Your Majesty, I will go to the Imperial Hospital myself right away!"
…
In the bedroom of Kunning Palace, Jiang Zhen slowly woke up, sat up slowly and coughed twice. Gui Zhi had heard the sound and came over to lift the curtain and hung it up, smiling happily, "Congratulations, Your Majesty, congratulations, Your Majesty."
Jiang Zhen blinked blankly and asked, "Why are you so happy?"
The next moment, all the palace maids and eunuchs knelt on the ground and laughed in unison: "Congratulations, Your Majesty, you are pregnant!"
Jiang Zhen was startled for a moment, and it took her a long while to come back to her senses. She couldn't help but feel joy surging from the bottom of her heart. She was so surprised and happy that she couldn't help but stand up from the bed. However, before she could stand firmly, her whole body swayed weakly, and she was about to fall down. As everyone exclaimed, they saw a figure coming to the bed like the wind, hugging her tightly in his arms, and scolding her lovingly: "You are already a mother, why don't you take care of yourself?"
As he said this, he carried her to the bed and put her down. He also sat down beside the bed, frowning and staring at her bare feet. He leaned over and pulled the quilt over her and gently covered her with it: "Get out of bed without wearing shoes. If you catch a cold and hug me and complain about the cold, I won't feel bad."
Jiang Zhen looked at Xie Fei's gentle movements, her eyes filled with sweetness, and she burst into laughter: "I don't believe it. Even if the emperor doesn't love me anymore, I'm still pregnant with your son!"
Xie Fei looked at her delicate and charming appearance, and couldn't help but smile helplessly. He pinched her chin with one hand and lifted it up slightly, then leaned over and bit her lip. Seeing her eyes full of tears due to the pain, he pursed his lips and smiled, "Let's see if you dare to be spoiled again."
Jiang Zhen turned her head and saw that everyone kneeling was secretly laughing. She was immediately ashamed and embarrassed. She quickly covered her face with her hands and whispered, "I dare not, I dare not, I will be obedient."
"Everyone, go down." Seeing her shyness, Xie Fei's eyes flashed with a smile, "Guizhi, I asked Zhang Dezi to bring some red dates and longan porridge, you go and bring it in."
Everyone responded and quietly retreated. Jiang Zhen then put down her hand, glanced at Xie Fei in a reproachful manner, and snorted, "However, I don't know whether the emperor's son is obedient or not."
Xie Fei lowered his eyes and smiled slightly, a smile spread across the corners of his mouth, and he reached out and flicked her forehead: "Naughty."
Jiang Zhen took Xie Fei's hand and smiled triumphantly. After a moment, she moved her body away, hugged his neck and snuggled in his arms, whispering, "That's great, Your Majesty. I'm pregnant with our child. That's great."
"Yes." Xie Fei nodded solemnly, "Thank you, Zhen'er."
…
The news of the Queen's pregnancy spread throughout the harem and the court in an instant. This was the first child of the current Emperor, and the legitimate son of the Empress. Naturally, everyone paid extraordinarily close attention to it. In comparison, the fact that Xi Helan was struck to death by lightning did not cause any ripples except for some after-dinner gossip in Da Qi. Who told her to climb up the rockery to sing for no reason? Who made God so unkind? She really brought this upon herself.
The concubines in the three palaces and six courtyards were delighted when they learned that the queen was pregnant. They all felt that their chance had come and wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to share the emperor's favor and get pregnant. Even if they fell out of favor in the future, they would still have a child to rely on. However, everyone's expectations were soon dashed.
After the Queen became pregnant, the Emperor not only did not summon other concubines to sleep with him, but instead mobilized the best people from the Imperial Hospital, the Imperial Kitchen, the Embroidery Room and other hospitals to the outer courtyard of Kunning Palace. He customized a special diet for pregnant women for her, made clothes for her with the softest silk, and rushed to Kunning Palace as soon as he got off court. He even moved all government affairs to Kunning Palace. Whenever he was free, he would take her to the Imperial Garden to appreciate the flowers and take walks, and rub her legs and shoulders, not to mention it. He was simply too good to the Queen. The concubines were jealous at first, thinking that the Emperor must be like this because he was a father for the first time. However, now that the Queen is about to give birth, the Emperor's words and deeds are still the same as before. Everyone finally realized that they really have no chance.
Not long after, all the concubines in the palace received the imperial edict, in which the emperor clearly expressed his wish to live with the queen for the rest of his life and his apologies to everyone. He also provided several options for compensation and allowed everyone to decide for themselves whether to stay or go.
After a few days of careful consideration, some people chose to leave the palace under an assumed name and start a new life, some stayed in the harem for the benefit of their family, and some went in search of lost love...
Those who stayed in the harem gradually began to learn to take everything lightly. Without any reasons for hostility, the remaining concubines actually became good sisters. They often made appointments to chat, drink tea, go boating, paint, and live a very happy life together.
After ten months of pregnancy and one day of delivery, the Crown Prince Qi Jue of Da Qi was born.
Qi Jue inherited the good looks of his parents since he was a child. He was handsome and was the darling of the entire harem. However, he learned everything from his father. He was dignified and prudent at a young age, and was polite in dealing with people. Except for his special admiration for his father, he was not close to anyone else. Even when he was with Jiang Zhen, he was well-behaved and well-behaved.
Seeing that Qi Jue was about to turn six and was about to go to the study room to start studying, Jiang Zhen felt more and more depressed.
That night, Xie Fei hugged her and lay on the bed to rest. She couldn't help but sigh again and said in distress: "Your Majesty, do you think Jue'er doesn't like me as his mother? He smiled when he saw me when he was a child, but he would kick his legs and shake his hips in protest when I was gone for a while. He also insisted that I accompany him to sleep, sing and tell him stories. Why did everything change suddenly?"
"The child has grown up and has his own ideas. He is a boy and is not good at expressing his emotions. In fact, he likes you very much in his heart." Xie Fei hugged Jiang Zhen, bent down and kissed her ear, and said.
"Really?" Jiang Zhen asked with some doubt.
"Of course, I was the same when I was a child. If you don't believe me, you can ask the Queen Mother tomorrow and you will know." Xie Fei moved the hand that was around her shoulder slightly downwards and pinched her waist gently. With his other hand, he pulled the belt of her nightgown and gently opened it. His slightly disordered breath blew over her neck and landed on her lips: "Zhen'er, give me another princess, a girl as cute and beautiful as you..."
As soon as he finished speaking, he began to hold her lips and nibble gently. Jiang Zhen's eyes slowly closed. The thoughts about Qi Jue that had just filled her mind had disappeared. In the blank space, only brilliant fireworks exploded.
In Qi Jue's bedroom, he was kneeling on a chair, his chubby little hands holding a thick brush, writing something on the paper stroke by stroke. His delicate little face was now covered with black ink. He was lying on the edge of the table, counting the rules one by one with his fingers: "Sleep alone, eat alone, walk alone, don't cry if you fall... Wow, there are already thirteen rules!"
After counting, he clenched his fist and said in a baby voice: "Yes! Mother, Jue'er is getting closer and closer to being a man. Soon I will be able to sleep with you every day like father, and protect you from being scared by bad guys!"
I saw that the rice paper covered with Qi Jue's crooked handwriting was covered with another long piece of rice paper, which was covered with densely written words. The handwriting was majestic and powerful, and it was clearly written by Xie Fei. However, the title was a little hard to believe - Little Man Qi Jue's Plan.
When he grew up, Qi Jue realized that he had been plotted against by his most admired father. However, he was no longer at the age to act coquettishly to his mother. So when he later found out that Jiang Zhen was pregnant, he secretly planned to take revenge on his father and help his brothers and sisters compete for his favor. However, he didn't know that someone had already begun to quietly prepare the imperial edict of abdication and planned to take Jiang Zhen with him to live a world of two.
In this life, the two of them traveled around like a couple of gods, seeing the mountains, rivers, lakes, the sun, moon and stars. When they died, the soul that floated out of Jiang Zhen's body saw him and flew around Xie Fei twice with great joy before disappearing.
The author has something to say: ?? Jiang Zhen: The baby I gave birth to likes his father more, can I put him back and rebuild him? :)
Qi Jue: Mother, I like you more! ! !
Xie Fei: The older you get, the wiser you are. Fighting with me, huh!
