The Emperor Taishang has been in power for more than 20 years, how can he not have some hole cards to protect himself? Like those ghostly guards who surrounded him that day.

It was not easy for Empress Dowager Zhou and Xu Ge to force the palace at that time.

He regretted all his life, did so many sad things, and knew that he couldn't make up for it, so he would compromise and indulge like that.

Empress Dowager Zhou seemed to know the Emperor's thoughts, she smiled slightly and shook her head,

"I've done some things, but now, I don't want your life to die for me."

"We are all old, we have experienced so many ups and downs, and we can't see this world more thoroughly."

"No matter what happens when you are young, or even when you are middle-aged, there is only one thing that remains the same."

"That is, liking should be a happy thing, and it should bring good results."

"So, if you really like me, you live for me."

"If you are willing to live for me, then I will accept you and work hard for the rest of my life to like you."

Empress Dowager Zhou's words couldn't be clearer, indeed, at her age, she has experienced all kinds of things, and she is already fearless.

The child she values most is already thousands of people kneeling, and her daughter-in-law is very good and is about to become a grandmother.

Just like Xu Han said that day, it is better to straighten the waist, and make the women of the world more courageous.

She stayed in the palace, fearless of rumors outside, and made up for the more than 20 years she owed her son.

In the first twenty years, she lived for Prince Fengxian, and in the future, she will live for her son and herself.

Those who owe Prince Fengxian will come underground and say to him in person.

When the Emperor heard what the Empress Dowager Zhou said, his originally dim eyes suddenly lit up, and he raised his hand that was emaciated by illness and held the hand that the Empress Dowager Zhou placed beside him,

"Okay, I'll live for you."

After that, the Emperor Taishang slowly adjusted his body with the cooperation of the imperial doctor, and the Empress Dowager Zhou occasionally went back to Changqiu Palace to accompany him.

The two didn't talk much, the Emperor was lying on the bed, reading a book, or looking at the Empress Dowager Zhou who was painting the scenery not far away.

Occasionally, when the Empress Dowager Zhou did not paint, she would accompany the Emperor Taishang to play chess, but only occasionally, the Empress Dowager Zhou often used the excuse that the Empress Dowager had not recovered from his illness.

As a result, the Emperor Taishang cherished the time he spent with the Empress Dowager Zhou in close proximity.

Since she has promised the Emperor Taishang, and the Empress Dowager Zhou is a person who does what she says, she will naturally not regret it.

It's just that the two of them have reached such an age, no matter what they do, they always have a restraint and reason.

After Xu Han found out, she really didn't know what to say, after all, the Empress Dowager Zhou was very good to her, whether she loved the house or not, she completely played the role of a mother.

She always hopes that the Empress Dowager Zhou can be happy, and she also believes in the decision made by the Empress Dowager Zhou, even if the Empress Dowager has a thousand kinds of bad, but the heart that he likes and even loves the Empress Dowager Zhou to this day is true.

When Xiao Wei returned to the palace in the evening, he saw her sitting on the couch in a trance, stood at the door for a while, and waited until the cold on his body dissipated, and then he entered, sat on Xu Han's side, pinched the soft flesh on her waist, and said with a smile,

"Well, I'm fatter."

Xu Han was a little depressed, two bowls of rice and a bowl of soup for a meal, and he had to eat snacks from time to time, that is, the Empress Dowager Zhou of Cining Palace often sent things over, and even the eldest princess of Shuyang outside the palace also remembered that if there was anything good, people would send it in.

It's like raising pigs all day long, can you not get fat? It's just that if you eat like this, it's really hard to lose weight in the future.

Xiao Xiao saw that she was silent, and immediately comforted her,

"Fatter, blessed, people are happy to see it."

Xu Han squinted at him, hehe, he was indeed happy.

After the meal, Xiao Xiao accompanied Xu Han in the garden for three steps, a big bag, like a ball, talking and talking about the Empress Dowager Zhou.

"Do you still hate him?"

Xu Han asked.

Xiao Wei didn't say anything, but carefully helped Xu Han walk around twice and went back.

After the two washed up, they went to bed, Xiao Wei hugged her, one by one, the month was getting bigger and bigger, and it was impossible to do something.

However, it does not prevent Xiao Wei from focusing on the cause of stealing incense.

Xu Han originally felt that the Emperor Taishang should not act against Prince Fengxian and the old concubine.

It's just that after this journey, she doesn't know how to judge the right and wrong of the emperor.

For Xu Han's distraction, the person who buried himself in stealing incense expressed great dissatisfaction, although he said that he couldn't do anything, but after all, he was also a person who had read a lot of indescribable words.

How can you be distracted at this time? Distraction means he's not good enough.

"You concentrate ......"

So, he used eighteen kinds of means, and Xu Han, who was flirtatious, had to stop his wandering thoughts, and his breath became unstable.

It wasn't until Xu Han was as soft as a sponge that he slowed down his offensive.

In short, the latter two did not discuss the affairs of the Empress Dowager Zhou and the Emperor Taishang.

Time passed in a flash, it snowed in the capital, turned over the New Year, the grass grew and the warbler flew, and Xu Han's belly was already nine months old.

The delivery period is approaching, and Xu Han mostly walks around in his palace, reducing the number of times he goes to Cining Palace to ask for peace.

Empress Dowager Zhou waved her hand, and she didn't need Xu Han to come over, but she went to Xu Han's side to accompany her after handling the palace affairs every day.

Sometimes I bring the old follower of the emperor.

For example, today, the Empress Dowager Zhou finished handling the palace affairs early in the morning, and when she arrived at Xu Han's Fengyi Palace, as Xu Han's delivery date approached, the Empress Dowager Zhou began to eat fasting and chant Buddha, just to make Xu Han's birth go smoothly.

For Xu Han's fetus whether it is a boy or a woman, for the Empress Dowager Zhou, it is better for a boy to have a boy, and a girl to have a girl.

She accompanied Xu Han, nothing more than talking, the two of them looked at the small clothes made by the Shangyi Bureau, or accompanied Xu Han for a walk in the garden.

"At that time, Zheng'er was very quiet when he was in my belly, who knew that it was really a long time to give birth to him."

She sighed and looked at Xu Han's body, "You should be better than me." ”

Xu Han used to walk around a lot and practice martial arts, so his body was naturally better than that of the original Empress Dowager Zhou.

Empress Dowager Zhou chattered for a while, and when she saw that Xu Han frowned and didn't speak, she stood there and didn't move, she suddenly became nervous, and asked in a lower voice,

"What's uncomfortable? Did the kid kick you? I just said that he is well-behaved...... Bao'er, don't toss your mother, wait until you come out, grandmother loves you well......"

Xu Han twitched the corners of his mouth, took a deep breath, the movement in his stomach had just eased down, and he immediately tightened, and there seemed to be something inappropriate under him, some indescribable signs.

She raised her eyes and smiled at the Empress Dowager Zhou,

"Mother, I'm afraid I'm going to give birth."

Empress Dowager Zhou was stunned for a moment, although she had also seen countless big battles, this would still be a little soft, she swallowed her saliva, and then calmed down, and then she was about to shout, and an old and majestic voice came from behind,

"Give my palanquin to the queen and carry her back."

It was the Emperor Taishang who came after the Empress Dowager Zhou, and when he heard what Xu Han said, he hurriedly got off the soft sedan chair and commanded someone to carry Xu Han back to the delivery room that had been prepared in the palace for a long time.

Fengyi Palace, which was originally quiet, suddenly became noisy, and countless people shuttled during the period, and after the initial panic, the Empress Dowager Zhou had calmed down.

She stood in the hall, commanding in an orderly manner, boiling hot water, and Wen Po, who had been preparing for a long time in the side hall of Fengyi Palace, also came in handy.

All should be done, fully prepared.

After Xu Han's initial pains, he will sit at the head of the bed and eat brown sugar eggs calmly.

Not only did the Empress Dowager Zhou purse her lips and smile, but even Wen Po was also happy, she also delivered a lifetime, wandering around the mansions of the emperor's relatives and relatives, and she really had never seen such an indifferent and calm mother, or the queen's mother.

Xiao Wei knew that Xu Han was going to be born and was discussing with several courtiers, and when he heard the news, his hand suddenly weakened, and the fold fell on the table with a 'click', his face turned pale, and he walked out with a fluttering under his feet.

It happened that Xu Zhao and Huo Qi entered the palace today to report on the military parade in the eastern suburbs, and when they heard that Xu Han was about to give birth, the two of them were not calm, and followed Xiao Wei to Fengyi Palace.

The two followed behind Xiao Wei, and when they saw that he didn't care about the shouts of the attendants carrying the sedan chair behind him, he walked forward.

When he arrived outside Fengyi Palace, he hit his head on the shadow wall, and a big bag instantly rose on his head.

The people serving around Xiao Wei were shocked, and hurriedly asked the imperial doctor waiting outside to give Xiao Wei medicine for his injuries, but they were refused.

Empress Dowager Zhou was inspecting the small clothes and swaddling clothes used when the baby was born, and she shook her head with a smile when she saw this.

Xu Han ate brown sugar eggs, and after more than half an hour, Wen Po carefully washed her hands, opened the quilt to check, and saw that the palace entrance had been opened.

However, Xu Han discussed with Changying and other female officials what to eat when he woke up after giving birth.

Outside, the night was slowly falling, and Xiao Wei stood on tiptoe to look at the movement in the house from time to time.

Empress Dowager Zhou really loves Xu Han, and there is no taboo at this time, she accompanies Xu Han in the delivery room and cheers her up.

The Emperor Taishang didn't leave, waiting outside.

Seeing that Xiao Wei was so anxious that he couldn't even take a sip of water, he lowered his voice and said,

"Don't worry, the queen herself is a martial artist, she is in good health, and Ah ...... Your mother is watching over you, so you might as well sit down. ”

Xiao Wei ignored the emperor's words, his heart was beating hard, he sat down with his hand on the handle of the chair, his pale face became even whiter, and he felt that his hands and feet were not his own.

At this time, he was not the emperor sitting on the Jinluan Palace, he looked at Xu Zhao and Huo Qi, who were also anxious, exhaled, and said tiredly,

"Since I was with Hanhan, I always felt that this day was not real, and I was always worried in my heart, for fear that God would see me too happy, and I would take everything back when I turned my face."

Xu Zhao and Emperor Taishang didn't understand what Xiao Wei meant, but Huo Qi understood.

He never thought about why Huo Han became Xu Han, but he just felt that no matter what, it was good for Eleven Niang to live, so why bother to explore those specific reasons.

At this moment, he was also afraid.

He was concerned and whispered,

"When my eldest nephew and daughter-in-law gave birth to Mi'er, I heard that my eldest nephew didn't close his eyes all night, and he was afraid that something would happen."

"It is often said that when a woman gives birth to a child, it is like entering the door of a ghost, with one foot in the sun and one foot in the underworld."

"Your Majesty, you have to be good to your mother in the future, it's not easy for women."

At this time, Huo Qi still didn't forget to give Xiao Wei'er a face, and he wanted to be good to Xu Han.

However, what he said was also true.

Xiao Wei was already soft-handed, and after listening to Huo Qi's words, he was even more at a loss.

He stood up suddenly, could no longer hold back the heart that was about to jump out of his chest, pushed open the door of the delivery room, and strode in.

The stable woman inside was checking Xu Han's palace entrance and opened a few fingers, and the Empress Dowager Zhou was sitting on the edge of the bed and was helping Xu Han wipe the sweat on her forehead.

The other girls and mothers-in-law also perform their own duties.

Everyone never dreamed that someone would break in, and they immediately screamed again and again, and when they saw that it was Xiao Wei, they were suddenly in a complicated mood.

The delivery room has always been said to be a filthy place, and ordinary men will not enter it, let alone the Son of Heaven.

Xiao Xiao didn't care what everyone thought, and when he came in, he looked at Xu Han on the bed.

She will be sluggish on weekdays, her hair will be scattered and sweat will be stained on her forehead, and her usually ruddy face will be full of paleness.

And the rosy and delicate lips will be bitten tightly, and there will be no word.

Suddenly, Xiao Wei's heart was like a knife, rushed over, hugged the person in his arms, and said incoherently, no, relieved,

"Forget it, forget it, let's not give birth."

Giving birth to a child hurts so much, if you don't give birth, you won't give birth.

Xiao Wei's heartache and hatred can't replace Xu Han's pain.

Xiao Wei's words did not fall, and everyone was stunned.

Even Xu Han, who was held in Xiao Wei's arms, opened his mouth wide.

The man held her in his arms and put his head on her neck, but she still felt the hot droplets fall on her neck.

Originally, Xiao Wei broke in like this, and said those childish words, and the people waiting on the side were stunned at first, and then let out laughter.

She really wanted to kick this naïve man out, but the hot tears on her neck made her heart sore again.

She pushed Xiao Wei, and said to the Empress Dowager Zhou, who was also snickering on the side, her face was red, her ears were red, she gritted her teeth, and her voice came out from between her teeth, "You get out quickly." ”

She felt like a lamb to the slaughter, and she looked very embarrassed.

Who doesn't want to be beautiful in front of their sweetheart?

The others naturally didn't dare to drive the dignified son out, and in the end, it was the Empress Dowager Zhou who carried Xiao Wei and pushed him out.

But whether Xiao Weiren was kicked out, or shouted outside by the window,

"Hanhan, don't be afraid, I'm outside with you, and the seventh uncle is here, if there is anything to call me loudly, don't be afraid."

Xu Han inside was really speechless, she didn't want to pay attention to Xiao Wei, and waves of labor pains hit intensively.

Xu Zhao and Huo Qi outside actually wanted to rush in to see how their sister (Eleven Niang) was doing.

Seeing that Xiao Wei was kicked out, the two couldn't bear to look at his stupid appearance of holding the window, but they still pulled him,

"What kind of mess do you go in and make trouble, can you help your mother give birth, or help your mother hurt."

Really, they seem to go in and have a look.

The two of them finished slandering in their hearts, and asked in unison,

"How? Is it okay inside? ”

Xiao Wei was stunned, and after a while, a slight smirk appeared,

"Hanhan still has the strength to drive me, but his face looks white."

The Emperor Taishang twitched the corner of his eye on the side, fortunately, fortunately, this is not his son, he is really stupid.

Xu Zhao and Huo Qi couldn't ask anything when they saw his stupid appearance, so they sat down on the chairs silently, but their necks stretched out longer than usual.

The crowd waited anxiously outside, but before they could turn into dehydrated fish, the loud cry of a baby could be heard inside.

When they began to hear the cry, everyone's hearts fell, but the cry began to be a little small, and everyone's hearts that had just landed were raised again.

Although they hadn't heard the cries of other babies, could it be too small?

Fortunately, their hearts did not last long, and the baby's cry became louder and louder, as if it was about to break through the sky, full of energy and loud.

The door of the delivery room finally opened, and the Empress Dowager Zhou came out with a swaddling baby, "It's a petite princess." ”

Xiao Wei was the first to rush over, but the first sentence was to ask, "How is Hanhan?" ”

Empress Dowager Zhou smiled and said, "Okay, now I'm a little out of strength and have fallen asleep." ”

Xiao Wei's ugly face finally relaxed, and his eyes were dyed with joy.

When he saw the child in the swaddling clothes, his hands trembled a little, and he wanted to hug but didn't dare to hug him.

This is his child, his and Eleven's child.

Xiao Wei was almost crying with joy, his heart was heavy, and his hands and feet were as soft and ethereal as they were just now.

He didn't dare to hug it, naturally there were many people who wanted to hug it, and Xu Zhao and Huo Qi in the back squeezed up and looked at the child in the swaddling clothes.

In the golden swaddling clothes embroidered with the pattern of hundreds of sons and grandchildren, a small baby, with closed eyes, thick hair, red skin, slender eyebrows, and a high nose bridge, a wonderful appearance.

Xu Zhao actually wanted to hug him, although he worked hard and calmly watched Princess Jiaojiao, but he was still panicked.

Originally, I heard that the princess was a little worried about Xu Han, after all, Xu Han was the queen, and now she is the only pet of the harem.

Giving birth to a boy in the first child always silenced the tongues of the ministers.

It's just that after seeing Xiao Jiaojiao, Xu Zhao's heart softened, she was a princess, and she was also the princess born to the little prince of their Xu family, which was extraordinary.

It was Huo Qi, who rubbed his hands, and asked in a trembling voice, "Niangniang, can you hug the little princess?" ”

This is the daughter of Eleven Niang, and she is also the bloodline that inherits the hope of the Huo family.

Huo Qi wanted to hug her, and even a picture of how to pamper her in the future came to mind.

can no longer treat Eleven Niang like before, the little princess must grow up pampered, and don't experience those sinister again.

As long as she is happy and carefree, she grows up carefree.

Empress Dowager Zhou looked at her son who was not 'promising' on the side, gently put the swaddling clothes on Huo Qi's hand, and told him how to hold it.

Xiao Wei, who came back to his senses over there, "......"

He hasn't even hugged his little princess, why did he go to Uncle Seven's arms?

He poked his head over, just in time to see the little baby's lips move, and exclaimed,

"Mother, she...... She...... She...... Aren't you hungry......"

Could it be that the queen (Hanhan) gave birth to a child, and the emperor's (son's) IQ fell into the mud?

Xu Han gave birth to a child, and after looking at the swaddling child, he fell asleep, and after waking up, he only felt a kind of relaxation after being extremely tired.

She had cleaned up her body and changed into a soft and comfortable undershirt, the sky outside was slightly bright, and the room was quiet.

There was the sound of bead curtains ringing, and a figure came around behind the screen in front of the bed, it was Xiao Wei.

Xiao Wei kept watch in front of the couch behind the screen all night, if it wasn't for Empress Dowager Zhou's ear to remind him not to disturb Xu Han, Xiao Wei would probably sleep next to Xu Han.

But even so, he was not too far away from Xu Han, he didn't let the palace people keep vigil, he stayed on the couch by himself, and woke up from a night's sleep, afraid that Xu Han would wake up.

The sky was slightly bright, Xiao Wei woke up, saw that Xu Han was still sleeping, and was afraid that Xu Han would have something wrong, so he recruited the imperial doctor on duty, and after checking the pulse, he knew that he was just tired and sleeping, so he put his mind at ease.

He doesn't want to go to court today, the little princess was born, and the whole world celebrates, what dynasty is it? That's it.

When he had gone out with his will, he went back to the inner chamber, and then he saw his daughter-in-law's eyes open.

Suddenly, Xiao Wei was overjoyed, he couldn't speak, and hurriedly rushed to the side of the bed, first grabbed his hand, and then hurriedly took the big pillow on the side and let Xu Han lean on.

After Xu Han was settled, he went outside and called Changying and asked them to bring the medicine prescribed by the imperial doctor.

After the medicine was served, Xiao Wei didn't let Changying serve them, and waved his hand to let them retreat.

"This is prescribed by the imperial doctor, saying that it is a medicine to remove lochia, I tasted it, it is a little bitter, you drink it in one gulp, and I will give you plums to eat later."

Xu Han stroked his forehead, what did he taste of the woman's medicine for lochia? Does Shennong taste herbs?

Thinking about it, her heart was soft again.

After taking the medicine, Xiao Wei took a handkerchief to help Xu Han wipe the corners of his lips, and carefully looked at Xu Han's expression, seeing that although her face was not as rosy as before, it was better than yesterday, and her heart was relieved again.

Although he slept all night, Xu Han was still a little tired, looking outside, it was not early, "Why are you here?" Don't go to the court? I'm fine, I'm just a little tired. ”

Xiao sat beside him, gently brushing the strands of hair on her cheeks,

"Huh? The little princess was born, and the whole world celebrated together, and the dynasty was boycotted for three days. ”

Xu Han was a little amused, "You are a faint gentleman's behavior." ”

Xiao Wei said softly, "This is a happy event, I haven't had a spring night yet, and the king will stop the early dynasty." ”

Xu Han pursed his lips and didn't say anything more, Xiao Wei held her hand, "The child is in the next room, do you want to take a look?" ”

After the child was born, the Empress Dowager Zhou showed her, and said that she was a daughter, with long hands and feet, very similar to her.

This will hear Xiao Wei mention the child, his heart is slightly warm, and he nodded, "Okay." ”

Xiao Wei got up and carefully tucked her quilt tightly, then got up and walked out, and it didn't take long for her to come in with a small swaddling baby.

Xu Han's eyes were fixed on them.

Xiao Xiao gently placed the swaddling clothes on Xu Han's side, and he also sat down on the edge of the bed, and whispered,

"It's a little red, like a little monkey, and my mother said that when it fades in a few days, it will look good."

Xu Han saw Xiao Xian's comforting appearance, she only felt funny, she looked at her daughter on the side, indeed, the little guy with his eyes closed, his face was red, but the hair on his head was very thick.

"Do you want a hug?" Xiao Xiao asked Xu Han quietly, he didn't dare to hug it yesterday, but then Huo Qi, Xu Zhao, and even the Emperor Taishang hugged him, and the little guy has always been obedient, so he feels that as his father, it would be very embarrassing if he didn't dare to hug him.

So, he hugged it, and then he kept holding it and didn't want to let go.

Although my daughter's face is red, she is so beautiful!

Xu Han wanted to hug him, but he still felt a little soft, and his daughter was asleep, so it would not be good if she woke up.

So the husband and wife, one leaning on the head of the bed, the other sitting on the edge of the bed, both looked at the sleeping baby, and sometimes looked at each other and smiled.

Xiao Wei's hand always held Xu Han's hand.

Xu Danxiu returned to Beijing on the fourth day of the child's birth, and did not go to Xuanpingfang, but knocked on the palace door directly and entered the palace to see Xu Han.

Originally, Xu Danxiu should have received news from Xu Han a long time ago, but after arriving in Shudi, Xu Danxiu stayed in Xu Wangfu for a while, and went to the major tribes to visit his former friends.

Some places are too remote, deep in the mountains and old forests, and it is inevitable that the news received is a little slow.

When she received the news that Xiao Wei had ascended the throne and Xu Han was pregnant, Xu Han was already eight months pregnant at that time, so she packed up her things again and rushed back.

Returning to Beijing with her was the second prince who had been heard from all along, An Xiangchu.
