Chapter 395: One Life, One Couple
"Xi'er, you won't want those women for your husband, you only need for your husband! I told you that one person in one life will not change in this life and this life! If it is violated, the sky will ......" Before the emperor's words were finished, Cheng Xi reached out and covered his mouth.
"Your Majesty, Xi'er believes in you, but Xi'er also knows that as the emperor, you can't help yourself, although Xi'er is sad in her heart, as long as the emperor has Xi'er in her heart, Xi'er will be satisfied." Cheng Xi looked at the emperor, although she was sad, she still pretended to be calm and said.
"Xi'er, don't worry, the husband won't let them succeed, although they are now busy choosing a concubine, but this concubine, I don't have the final say, I don't accept concubines, and I can't help them." The emperor stroked Cheng Xi's long hair and said affectionately.
"Your Majesty, Xi'er understands your intentions for Xi'er, but you are the emperor, they always have many, many reasons for you to have to take a concubine, and those ministers will always let you take a concubine, Xi'er understands that you sit in this position, you can't help yourself, Xi'er doesn't want you to have too much pressure, if you really have to take a concubine, you don't have to worry about Xi'er, Xi'er understands." Cheng Xi comforted the emperor instead.
The more empathetic Cheng Xi is, the more he would rather be wronged than embarrass him, the more the emperor feels sorry for Cheng Xi, he swore at the beginning, but now he wants to break his promise, he is really unwilling.
He has seen so many women, but all he wants is Cheng Xi, he really doesn't feel that he needs so many women like his father, he always thinks that his brothers will fight for this throne, isn't it because these brothers are not from the same mother's womb?
He doesn't want to follow in the footsteps of his father, only Cheng Xi is qualified to give birth to his child!
"Okay, Xi'er, don't say it, my husband felt sad when I heard it, by the way, my husband said, when there are no outsiders, call me husband or Aqing, you always forget, how should I punish you for your husband?" The emperor didn't want to continue the topic that made Cheng Xi sad, so he changed the topic and looked at Cheng Xi with a sly look.
Cheng Xi was stunned, she looked at the emperor's gaze, and knew that he must be uneasy and kind, sure enough, the next second, she was picked up by the emperor, walked into the bedroom, and gently put it on the bed.
The emperor pressed it, and Cheng Xi exclaimed, "Don't, don't, Ah Qing, don't press the baby!" ”
"Don't worry, Xi'er, I will be very careful not to press our future crown prince!" The emperor said with a smile as he reached out and stroked Cheng Xi's lower abdomen.
"How do you know that this is the prince in my belly? Maybe it's a princess! Cheng Xi glared at him and said coquettishly.
I thought: This patriarchal thinking really has a long history! It has always been like this since ancient times, if her birth is a boy, it's okay, Ah Qing still has an excuse to say that she already has an heir, and she won't accept a concubine, if her own baby is a girl, then the father and grandmother will have more excuses to let Ah Qing take a concubine.
I'm drunk just thinking about it! Why did you wear it like this! It would be nice if Ah Qing wasn't in the royal family, not the emperor, just an ordinary man! It's a pity that he didn't have a choice, but fortunately, he still loves her, and she is satisfied.
The emperor smiled mysteriously and said, "I just know that he must be a boy!" ”
It turned out that the emperor once asked Hua Haoran to help Cheng Xi take the pulse on the grounds that the doctor did not treat himself, and Hua Haoran had already concluded that the baby in Cheng Xi's belly was a little prince, but Cheng Xi didn't know.
"You guessed?" Cheng Xi glanced at him, and she was a little nervous in her heart, she could see that the emperor also hoped that this child was a boy.
The emperor smiled and said, "No, it's not a guess, I pinched my fingers and calculated it." ”
"Come on! Can you still predict whether the prophet will be or not? Cheng Xi was laughed at by the emperor.
"Okay, stop talking, the Spring Festival is worth a thousand dollars, we can't waste such a good time." Saying that, the emperor carefully kissed Cheng Xi's seductive red lips, pried open her teeth, and kissed her breathlessly.
His big hand lit a fire on Cheng Xi's body restlessly, the body temperature of both of them was heating up, Cheng Xi's body was very sensitive after pregnancy, and the emperor's gentle touch made her tremble.
The red candle was blown out, the room was full of spring light, and the moon outside the window blushed and hid in the clouds.
The next morning, when Cheng Xi opened her eyes, the man next to her had already left, and there was no body temperature on the bed, she knew that he must have gone to the morning court.
Alas! I really don't understand why this ancient man likes to be an emperor so much, what's so good about being an emperor? I have to go to the morning court early every morning, and if I want to sleep lazily, I can't sleep in bed.
She was okay, because she was pregnant, she didn't have to get up early, she sat up from the bed, rubbed her sore waist, gritted her teeth, and secretly scolded the man in her heart. It made her have a sore back.
After this month, the Emperor Taishang and the Empress Dowager brought up the old matter again, and mentioned the matter of choosing a concubine to the emperor, and after the emperor ran into a wall, he sent someone to invite Cheng Xi over in front of the emperor.
Cheng Xi slowly walked to the palace of the Empress Dowager with the support of the palace maid, in fact, she was very clear in her own heart, where did she need the palace maid to support, but her identity was there, and the palace maid wanted to support her, so let them support her.
As soon as she walked into the palace of the Empress Dowager and saluted the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager and the Emperor, the Empress Dowager beckoned to Cheng Xi and asked Cheng Xi to sit down beside her.
"The queen's body is getting heavier and heavier, but you have to be careful!" The Empress Dowager said, and glared at the emperor meaningfully after speaking.
Now the emperor is sometimes busy until late at night, worried about waking Cheng Xi up, and going back to his own bedroom to sleep, most of the time, he spends the night in the queen's bedroom.
The queen is now pregnant, of course the emperor will not pamper her every day by his own temperament, but in the eyes of outsiders, it is not the same thing, who can imagine that the dignified king of a country, for the queen mother, held back, only occasionally opened meat?
Cheng Xi didn't think much about it when she heard this, but in the corner of her eye, seeing the Empress Dowager's eyes looking at the emperor, she had a bad premonition in her heart, did the Empress Dowager's words have any deep meaning? She couldn't help but frown.
"Queen, the mourning family invited you over just to discuss with you about choosing a concubine for the emperor." The Empress Dowager patted Cheng Xi's hand and said, "The Mourning family and the Empress Taishang plan to hold a banquet in a few days to choose a concubine for the emperor." ”
Cheng Xi chuckled in her heart, as expected, it was no good to come to her, I really don't understand why these people are so boring, her husband can't accept concubines, it's their business? Cheng Xi really wanted to scold her mother.
Seeing that Cheng Xi didn't speak, the Empress Dowager continued: "Empress, you are pregnant now, you can't let the emperor suffocate, it's time to choose a few concubines for the emperor to come in and share the burden for you." ”
Although Cheng Xi's face did not change, he had already scolded people in his heart, which was really excessive! She is pregnant, shouldn't her husband accompany her every day, accompany the child with her, and do prenatal education? actually asked her husband to take advantage of her pregnancy and couldn't sleep with him and let him sleep with other women. How unreasonable!
She said lightly: "When it comes to choosing a concubine, the concubine respects the emperor's will. ”
"Imperial grandmother, you don't have to worry about me, I now have to go to the queen's palace every day to see my future crown prince to sleep peacefully, if you choose a concubine for me, don't you want me to lose sleep?" The emperor said.
"Qing'er, the emperor's grandmother is for your good, you are now the emperor, how can there be a reason that the emperor is the only queen in the harem?" Seeing that the emperor was unwilling, the empress dowager felt that the emperor was taking into account the queen's feelings, but she would not care about what the queen thought in her heart, so she decided to be strong.
"Emperor, empress, since you don't plan to choose your concubines yourself, then this time the matter of choosing concubines will be handled by the imperial grandmother for you!" The Empress Dowager said.
The emperor was about to open his mouth to stop it, but the emperor took the lead and said: "Okay! Qing'er, is your imperial grandmother willing to worry about this for you, if you don't agree, it will be too bad to give your imperial grandmother face, don't make her old man unhappy. ”
The emperor's face sank, and he said coldly: "Choose a concubine, choose a concubine, you all day long open and shut up to choose a concubine, if this emperor still has to marry a woman I don't like, why am I still the emperor?" Whoever wants to be, who should go! ”
As he spoke, he brushed his sleeves away.
The Emperor didn't expect the emperor to speak like this, he was so angry that his face turned blue and he couldn't speak.
"Alas! Qing'er ......, "The emperor is so faceless, but the empress dowager is angry, she was about to tell Cheng Xi about her grievances, but she saw Cheng Xi caressing her stomach with a painful face.
She exclaimed, "Queen, what's wrong with you?" ”
Cheng Xi looked pained and didn't answer her.
"Quick, quick, pass on the imperial doctor!" The Emperor Taishang also saw Cheng Xi's painful expression, and hurriedly ordered, "Go and find the emperor." ”
They had an unpleasant quarrel with the emperor just now, if the queen has three longs and two shorts, they don't know how the emperor, who loves his wife like his life, wants to mess with them?
The Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager were so anxious that the Empress Dowager was calmer, she asked the palace maid to help Cheng Xi to the soft couch and let her lie down to rest, the imperial doctor hurriedly came, and saw that the queen was pale and in a cold sweat, and hurriedly checked her pulse.
The Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager were anxiously waiting for the result, and at this time, the Emperor also heard the news and hurried back.
As soon as he entered the door, he said coldly, "What the hell is going on?" Xi'er was sitting here just now, why did something happen as soon as I left? Did you say something to her? ”
