Chapter 394: Choosing a Concubine

"Xiao Jiu'er, how did you come back?" As soon as the prince heard this voice, he knew who was coming, and he asked happily.

"Brother Seventh Emperor, there is such a big thing in the palace, how can the younger brother not come back?" The Nine Emperor Princes walked up to the crown prince with a smile and said.

The crown prince patted the Ninth Emperor Prince on the shoulder and asked, "When did you come back?" Have you seen your father in the palace? ”

"I just came back, I came to see you as soon as I came back, you are going to be the emperor soon, I won't come back and hug my thighs in a hurry." The Nine Emperors looked like they were hanging and quipped with a smile.

Cheng Xi looked at the appearance of the Nine Emperor Princes, and almost couldn't help laughing, she endured it very hard, how could these Nine Emperor Princes talk so funny, not at all as serious as the ancients here they were, nor as scheming as the prince's brothers, looking at him like that, he really wouldn't be extreme at all

"Then you should also take care of yourself and come back to help your brother." The prince also said with a smile.

He was in a good mood when he saw the Nine Emperors who had not been seen for a few months, and in recent days, the bad mood caused by the matter of the Great Prince forcing the palace has also disappeared.

"Brother Seventh Emperor, don't embarrass me, I don't want to be an official in the court, I'm still comfortable as a carefree prince!" The Nine Emperors looked very disgusted, and said with a frown.

"Alas! The eldest brother is now in prison for the throne, and you are so disgusted, it's really ...... Gee! I don't know what the eldest brother would think if he knew that you were like this? The prince shook his head and said.

"Brother Seventh Emperor, what the hell is going on? I was so surprised by what I heard outside, and I rushed back without stopping. What did the eldest brother do? Did he kill the Three Emperor Brothers? "The Nine Emperor Princes have long wanted to know, and when they come back, they will immediately come to find his Seventh Emperor Brother, just to inquire about the real situation first.

The prince patted him on the shoulder and said, "Come to my brother's study, and I'll tell you everything." ”

As he spoke, he took Cheng Xi's hand and went to the study with the Nine Emperor Princes, and asked Cheng Xi to go back to the room to rest first.

When he arrived at the study, he told the Nine Emperor Princes all about what had happened in the past few months, although the Nine Emperor Princes had heard some news outside, but the news he had received was not so complete, and at this moment, his jaw dropped in shock.

He never thought that after his Seventh Emperor Brother became the crown prince, he would actually experience so many dangerous things, but fortunately, the Seventh Emperor Brother was strong in martial arts, and there was a large group of secret guards to protect him all the way, so he did not escape death.

It's just that he couldn't imagine that his eldest brother would poison his father for that throne, he couldn't help but be a little frightened, fortunately he has been wandering outside for the past few months, otherwise, he would also become a thorn in the eye of the eldest emperor, a thorn in the flesh, like the seventh emperor brother, he was hated by the eldest emperor brother and wanted to kill him.

"You shouldn't have come to Brother Wei first, you should have gone back to the palace to visit your father first." The prince said.

"It's not that I don't know what is happening in the capital, and it's so late now, I'm worried that when I enter the palace, my father and emperor will also rest, so as not to disturb his old man." The Nine Emperor Princes smiled and said haha, "I will enter the palace early tomorrow morning to visit his old man, Seventh Brother, you can rest assured, I am not a person like the eldest emperor, I feel sorry for my father." ”

"That's good, it's been such a long way, let's go back and rest!" The prince said.

"Brother Seven Emperors, are you chasing me? Okay, good, good, little brother, I won't bother the love between the seventh brother and the seventh sister-in-law. Hahaha, farewell. The Nine Emperor Princes quipped with a smile.

The prince watched him leave and shook his head, this little Jiu'er has always been like this, and he doesn't know when he will be able to settle down.

He returned to Xiguang Pavilion and saw Cheng Xi lying on the chaise longue, sleeping soundly, he looked at her, his eyes were full of pampering, he tiptoed over, for fear of waking her up, gently picked her up, put her on the bed, covered her with a quilt, looked at her for a while, and then walked outside.

Cheng Xi is pregnant, although there is no particularly big pregnancy reaction, but she is very sleepy, if it was before, at this time, she must still be reading the medical book, but now, she has "dated" with Zhou Gongzi early.

In order to avoid waking up, the prince went back to his own yard to take a bath, looking at his yard, he has not lived here for several months, since Cheng Xi married into the mansion, he spent the night in Xiguang Pavilion every day, fortunately, the maids in the mansion have cleaned every day, and this side is still very clean.

After he took a bath, he wanted to lie down and sleep, but he couldn't sleep, he just felt empty in his heart, he jumped up from the bed, walked back to Xiguang Pavilion, came to Cheng Xi's side, and crept down beside her, cautiously, for fear of waking her up from her sleeping.

He looked at her white and smooth face like a newborn baby, red and fluttering, curved brows, long eyelashes like a fan, small nose, rosy lips like cherries, and he couldn't help but want to go up and taste it.

It's just that he can't do this, he knows that his Cheng Xi is tired these days, and she, who was supposed to give birth and raise a baby in the mansion, has to enter the palace every day to prick needles for her father, which is a very troublesome thing. Every time he watched the fine sweat on her forehead, he felt distressed. If that person was not his father, he wouldn't want to make Cheng Xi work so hard.

He stretched out his slender arm and gently hugged Cheng Xi in his arms, smelling the unique faint fragrance of Cheng Xi's body, he felt as if it was his tranquilizer, and fell asleep after a while.

The next day, the Nine Emperors entered the palace and saw the emperor, and the emperor beat him again, telling him to take his heart, don't do this again, run out if you have nothing to do, no, this time I almost won't see him for the last time.

said that the Nine Emperors felt guilty in their hearts, so they had to obediently agree to stay in the capital until the emperor recovered.

The days passed quickly, the day of the new emperor's accession to the throne finally arrived, the crown prince ascended the throne as the emperor, and the crown princess was naturally canonized as the queen, they moved into the palace, Cheng Xi was really a little unaccustomed.

And the new emperor ascended the throne, naturally he also had to do something, he was busy until late at night every day, and his emperor father and grandmother refused to let him go, and every day he whispered in his ear to let him expand the harem.

"Qing'er, you were just the prince before, even if you said that your body was not strong enough, the imperial grandmother would not embarrass you, but now that you are the emperor, it is very different, you see, in all dynasties, where is there an emperor in the harem with only one woman, the queen?" The Empress Dowager persuaded the emperor bitterly.

"Imperial grandmother, I'll talk about this later, I just ascended the throne, and I'm busy until late at night every day, where do I have the time and energy to think about choosing a concubine? Don't mess with me! Don't you just want to hold your great-grandson, don't worry, the queen will soon fulfill your dream! The emperor said perfunctorily.

He was very helpless in his heart, he didn't want any concubines at all, he only wanted Cheng Xi a woman, when he was still the king of Qin, he once promised Cheng Xi that they would be a couple for the rest of their lives, he would not accept side concubines, he would not accept concubines, he was unwilling to break his promise because he became the emperor.

However, the imperial grandmother and father always nagged in his ear, which really annoyed him, and also made him feel a little sorry for Cheng Xi, he didn't know if the imperial grandmother and father would say something in front of Cheng Xi, he only until, even if they said something, even if Cheng Xi was unhappy, he would not tell him that she was so kind, she would rather be sad than let herself have a gap with the imperial grandmother and father.

Seeing that she couldn't convince the emperor, the empress dowager asked the emperor to go to the emperor and say, and she also planned to hold a feast for choosing concubines, so that all the daughters of the court officials and families of appropriate age could participate, and they would not give up on choosing concubines for the emperor.

The emperor came to Weiyang Palace, the queen's bedroom, and saw that the eunuchs and palace maids were going to call him, waved his big hand, signaling them not to make a sound, he quietly walked to Cheng Xi's bedroom, looking at the smiling face, looking like a mother, while humming a strange tune, while caressing Cheng Xi in his lower abdomen with his hand, he only felt that this picture was too beautiful.

It wasn't until he walked in that Cheng Xi found him, and hurriedly stood up, intending to salute him, but the emperor hurriedly stepped forward to help her, smiled at her, and said gently: "Xi'er, there is no need to have these false courtesies between you and me." ”

"Why does the emperor have time to see Xi'er today?" Cheng Xi asked, she looked at the emperor's somewhat emaciated face, and felt a little distressed.

"Xi'er, I miss you for my husband!" The emperor hugged her into his arms, and he stopped talking a little.

"Your Majesty, do you have anything you want to say to Xi'er?" When Cheng Xi saw that, he actually guessed a lot in his heart.

There are many people in the palace, even if the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager have not said anything to her head-on, she has heard some things, and she also knows that the emperor has always found an excuse to refuse the fact that they want to choose a concubine for him, to say that she is not uncomfortable, it is false, as a woman from the twenty-first century, how can she accept polygamy?

However, he is now an emperor, in ancient times, even if he was an ordinary man, only a little rich, he had three wives and four concubines, not to mention the emperor above ten thousand people.

She actually thought about it, she couldn't ask him according to the requirements for modern men, she said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, the concubines know what you are worried about, if you really can't refuse, you just do what they want, and the concubines will not complain." ”

"Xi'er ......" The emperor exclaimed, calling her name, his heart throbbed for a while, as if he had been cut by a knife, and his heart was very distressed, even if she was so understanding, she always thought about him, but what about him? Still...... Alas!
