When Li Hongyu and Zhao Xin rushed back to Xiangyang City, it was already early February, and after picking up Zhu Wanting, the lord of Zhaoxiang County, in Xiangwang's Mansion, they went to Baihe Town to bid farewell to their mother Zhao, and they would return to Beijing with Naren Tuoya and others who accompanied Zhao in Baihe Town. Eight? One in one? Text≤≥≥.≈8≈1≤Z=≈.≈C≥OM

On the way to Baihe Town, Li Hongyu talked and laughed with Zhao Xin and Zhu Wanting, and the atmosphere seemed very relaxed and harmonious, after all, Zhu Wanting is now "her own person", which makes Li Hongyu have no previous scruples and embarrassment in his heart.

"Vomit~~"

While talking and laughing, Zhao Xin's face suddenly changed, and he covered his mouth with his hand and leaned over to vomit.

Li Hongyu was taken aback when he saw this, and hurriedly stretched out his hand and patted the carriage, and the driver of the car immediately stopped.

Zhao Xin rushed out of the car and squatted on the side of the road and kept retching, looking very uncomfortable, and Zhu Wanting gently patted her north on the side.

"Xin'er, are you feeling unwell?" Li Hongyu looked at Zhao Xin with concern, thinking that Zhao Xin was sick.

"You don't know if you're going to be a father!" When Zhu Wanting heard this, she couldn't help but raise her head and roll her eyes at Li Hongyu, lowered her voice and said in a coquettish voice.

"When...... While...... Be a dad! Li Hongyu was not the slightest psychological preparation for this, and immediately stupidly froze there, looking at Zhao Xin with a stunned face and a red cheek.

But think about it, since they got married, Li Hongyu and Zhao Xin are like glue, inseparable, both of them are young men and women with normal physiology, after these few months of getting along, it would be strange if Zhao Xin was not pregnant.

"I'm going to be a father, I'm going to be a father!" After the initial stunned, Li Hongyu immediately reacted, and excitedly hugged Zhao Xin in a circle.

The nearby guards and subordinates naturally witnessed Li Hongyu's excited performance, and except for a few people who showed joy on their faces, the rest of the people showed surprised expressions on their faces.

After all, only Li Hongyu, Zhao Xin and Zhu Wanting's personal servants and guards knew that Zhao Xin was a woman, and other people naturally felt that Li Hongyu's move was quite abnormal.

However, considering the intimate relationship between Li Hongyu and Zhao Xin, everyone was relieved afterwards, and no one would talk about the masters.

"Hurry up and put my sister down, she is pregnant and can't stand the toss." Zhu Wanting couldn't help but be anxious when she saw this, and hurriedly reminded Li Hongyu in a low voice.

"Look at me, I'm happy and forget everything."

Li Hongyu came back to his senses when he heard this, quickly put down Zhao Xin, and asked cautiously, "Xin'er, did I hurt you just now?" ”

Zhao Xinwan smiled, her cheeks were rosy and she shook her head at Li Hongyu, looking shy, she originally wanted to go back to Baihe Town to tell Zhao first, and then let Li Hongyu know about it, but she didn't want to be Li Hongyu because the pregnancy reaction was too strong.

Li Hongyu breathed a sigh of relief, his face was full of excitement and excitement, thinking that he was only a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy back then, and now he has become a father in a blink of an eye.

The news of Zhao Xin's pregnancy made the Zhao family extremely happy, and immediately went to the ancestral hall to pay tribute to the ancestors of the Li family, and told the ancestors of the Li family the good news, so that they could bless Zhao Xin to give birth to a child smoothly.

With Zhao Xin pregnant, it is natural that he can no longer show his face in public, and it is no longer suitable to deal with complicated official affairs, so Li Hongyu decided to ask the Emperor of the Apocalypse for a decree after returning to Beijing, and transferred Zhao Xin to Shanghai to help deal with the affairs of the Customs Department.

Zhao Xin, like Li Hongyu, is the teacher and most trusted person of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, if it is left in the past, the Emperor of the Apocalypse is reluctant to let Zhao Xin go to Shanghai.

But now is different from the past, the Emperor of the Apocalypse has been on the throne for several years, and he is no longer the young son of heaven who first ascended to the throne and was constrained everywhere.

After all, not all of the ministers wanted to limit the power of the monarchy, and there were some who supported centralized power, and these people became the basis for the Emperor of the Apocalypse to control the court situation.

Especially after Qi, Chuzhe, and other factions were frantically suppressed by the Donglin Party, the officials of these factions changed from fighting with the imperial power to supporting the imperial power in order to protect themselves, so as to compete with the Donglin Party, which restricted the imperial power.

As the eunuch of the palm seal of the celebrant eunuch, Wei Zhongxian invisibly became the spokesperson of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, which made those officials who were hostile to the Donglin Party, or wanted to use it to soar in the officialdom, reunited under Wei Zhongxian's command and became a new force in the court against the Donglin Party.

Now, with the party leaders and backbones of Qi, Chuzhe, and other factions being cleaned up by the Donglin Party from Liangjing, the party struggle in the court has evolved from the party struggle between the Donglin Party and the Qi, Chuzhe, and other factions to the struggle between the Donglin Party and Wei Zhongxianwei's civilian clique.

In other words, the times create heroes, and no one could have imagined that the eunuchs who were vigorously suppressed by Emperor Jiajing and Emperor Wanli would one day re-involve themselves in court politics, and Wei Zhongxian's power skyrocketed because of this, and gradually moved towards the road of eunuchs.

It is precisely because of the dispute between the two major civilian-official groups of the Donglin Party and the anti-Donglin Party in the officialdom of the capital that Zhao Xin has the opportunity to be released.

In the eyes of Emperor Tianqi, Zhao Xin and Li Hongyu are not only important ministers of consolidation, but also ministers of the world, so he does not want the two to get involved in the current party struggle in the officialdom of the capital, and he does not want the two of them to be labeled as factions too much.

After the Emperor of the Apocalypse cleaned up the Donglin Party, he needed Li Hongyu and Zhao Xin to ease the relationship between the court factions, because the two did not participate in the party struggle in the court, so they could deal with the disputes between the court factions as neutrals.

This is also why the Emperor of the Apocalypse sent Li Hongyu and Zhao Xin out at the critical moment of the party struggle in the court, for the Son of Heaven of the Ming Dynasty, he hoped that Li Hongyu and Zhao Xin would not be attached to the various factions in the court and become neutral officials in the Ming officialdom, so that it would be more in line with the interests of the Ming Dynasty.

In the evening, Li Hongyu personally called a basin of hot water to serve Zhao Xin to wash his feet, although Zhao Xin did everything possible to refuse, but because of Li Hongyu's insistence, he could only let Li Hongyu do that.

For Li Hongyu, Zhao Xin suffered so much for him a few years ago, and now she is pregnant again, it is his duty as a husband to do such a small thing, and it is natural for him to do such a small thing.

"Xianggong, now that the concubine is pregnant, should you also give the county lord a child, the county lord has suffered a lot for us, in order to avoid rumors outside, we still have to hurry up."

After Li Hongyu washed her feet, Zhao Xin remembered something and said with a smile, she and Zhu Wanting had "married" before Li Hongyu, and now that she is pregnant, then Zhu Wanting should also have a child.

Zhao Xin and Zhu Wanting have been together for so much time, they are like sisters, and now the estrangement between Li Hongyu and Zhu Wanting has been cleared, so she naturally wants to strive for happiness for Zhu Wanting.

"This ......" Li Hongyu didn't expect Zhao Xin to mention this matter suddenly, and his expression suddenly became embarrassed.

"Go, the concubine is pregnant and can't serve the prince at night, and the princess will go to the county lord and Sister Qin's room to spend the night in the future, and they should also spread the branches and leaves for the Li family."

Seeing this, Zhao Xin knew that Li Hongyu was embarrassed, so he got up and pushed him out of the door with a smile.

"Xin'er, it's so late today, can you go again tomorrow?" Seeing that Zhao Xin wanted to close the door, Li Hongyu hurriedly stretched out his hand and pressed the door, and said with a smile.

"Xianggong, everything is difficult at the beginning, this first step must go out, sooner rather than later, you know Xin'er's friendship Xin'er knows in her heart, Xin'er really hopes to serve Xianggong with her sisters."

Zhao Xin smiled when she heard this, stretched out her hand and pushed Li Hongyu back a few steps, then closed the door with a snap, and said to Li Hongyu through the door, "Xianggong, don't let the county lords be sad, they have also suffered a lot over the years." ”

"Xin'er!" Li Hongyu couldn't help but be moved when he heard this, looked at the closed door and shouted silently in his heart.

How could he not know that Zhao Xin was thinking about him, although there was a saying of three wives and four concubines in ancient times, but there was no woman in the world who was willing to share her husband with other women, and an outstanding woman like Zhao Xin couldn't stand this.

But for the sake of the future harmony of the Li family, and for Li Hongyu not to be a negative person, Zhao Xin resolutely pushed him into the arms of other women, and he must have been very disappointed and uncomfortable in his heart.

"Alas!" Li Hongyu stopped in front of the door for a long time, then sighed and turned to leave, the peach blossom debt he caused naturally had to be repaid by him.

After Li Hongyu left, the closed door creaked open, and Zhao Xin, who looked gloomy, appeared in the door, with a faint sadness on her face, just as Li Hongyu thought, how could she be willing to push Li Hongyu to other women, but as the head of the Li family's back house, she had to face this situation, and she didn't want Li Hongyu to be embarrassed.

At dawn, the Li Mansion, a small courtyard with an elegant environment.

"County Lord, County Lord, Master Young Master has been outside the courtyard gate for a long time." Zhu Wanting was woken up by her personal maid in her sleep, and reported to her in a coquettish voice.

"Young Master is outside the courtyard gate?" The sleepy-eyed Zhu Wanting couldn't help but glance at the moonlight outside the window when she heard this, and was surprised by this, it stands to reason that Li Hongyu has already rested in Zhao Xin's room at this time.

Could something have happened?

The next moment, a bad premonition appeared in Zhu Wanting's heart, otherwise Li Hongyu would not have come to her courtyard gate without sleep in the middle of the night.

Therefore, Zhu Wanting immediately put on her coat and walked quickly to check, worrying along the way, it was obvious that what could make Li Hongyu show the situation must be a big event.

"Brother Yu, why are you here? What happened? ”

When Zhu Wanting walked out of the courtyard gate, Li Hongyu was pacing back and forth with his hands behind his back, he was really embarrassed to enter the courtyard door, Zhu Wanting came to him and asked with concern.

"That...... That ......"

Li Hongyu couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard this, and after stopping, he looked at Zhu Wanting with an embarrassed expression, not knowing how to say it.
