Great Chu Palace, Chu Enze is leaning on the small couch, holding a copy of "Shi Ce" in his hand, this is a book that records all kinds of things that happened in various dynasties and generations, mainly in the land of Great Chu, of course, there are also some introductions in several places such as Western Xia Nanzhao, but it is not very detailed, generally this is the emperor will start to find relevant ministers and ministers to make this record after the establishment of the prince, and all the merits of his life are handed over to the minister's pen, and the emperor can not see one or two of them in his lifetime, This is also a rule that was set early on, mainly to ensure the accuracy of history. Of course, when some dynasties are prosperous, the monarch must be virtuous, and the monarch will naturally have merits to sing and praise, so there will generally be a special person to record, on the contrary, some lonely dynasties are generally ordinary civil officials part-time. When I arrived at Chu Enze, there was no prince for the time being, and there were no cultural and historical officials for the time being.

There were a few coughs in the study from time to time, and several people at the door hurriedly pricked up their ears to listen, for fear that they would summon themselves in the next second.

The weather is gradually getting warmer, and the spring breeze is mixed with the smell of all things revived. Li Gongcheng stood at the door, saying something to his little apprentice to pay attention to when he had nothing to do, "The emperor's cough has not been good, you must be careful when serving, what can't be eaten or drunk, the emperor doesn't pay attention, we have to remind some ...... in front of us."

"Father-in-law Li" A familiar voice sounded behind Father-in-law Li, and when he turned around, it was Father-in-law Xia, the steward beside the queen, who saw Father-in-law Xia, and Father-in-law Li was also stunned for a moment, this queen rarely showed up, there were not many concubines in the emperor's harem, and the queen only routinely managed some things about eating and drinking, and rarely came out on weekdays. The emperor is not concerned about this queen, but according to the rules of the ancestors, every month on the night of the full moon is to go to the wife's room, the emperor's wife is of course the queen, the two of them meet on the fifteenth day, the usual intersection is really not much, even many occasions where the queen should be, the queen said that she is sick, in short, in the eyes of Gonggong Li, the queen is good to others, but only the emperor is not concerned. And now this Father-in-law Xia must have appeared here on the orders of the queen, this is really the first time.

Gonggong Li stepped forward and asked with a smile, "Why did Gonggong Xia come over?" But what's going on with the Queen? ”

Grandpa Xia's eyebrows were full of joy, and he smiled very happily, and hurriedly said to Grandpa Li: "Grandpa Li, is the emperor here?" ”

"It's inside," Grandpa Li replied.

Father-in-law Xia nodded, walked to the door of the imperial study while nodding, and said with a smile: "I, I came on the order of the queen's mother, father-in-law, can you give a report conveniently?" ”

This time, Gonggong Li made a difficulty, and said apologetically: "It's that I didn't make it clear just now, the emperor is inside, but at this time, the emperor is afraid that he is asleep, and he will not see anyone when he has been instructed."

Saying this, Father-in-law Xia also frowned, and he didn't know what to do for a while. Somewhat disappointed, he said, "That...... Shall I come back when the time is over? ”

Gonggong Li thought for a while and asked, "I don't know what the queen mother said, can I tell you on my behalf, so that my father-in-law won't run away in vain?" ”

"This ......" Father-in-law Xia was a little embarrassed, thought for a while and nodded: "Well, it's not something unsightly, but it's an excellent news, I believe the emperor is also very happy to hear it", paused and continued: "The queen mother is two months pregnant, and I specially asked me to tell the emperor."

Gonggong Li was even more surprised when he heard this, and hurriedly congratulated: "Congratulations to the queen mother here", Gonggong Xia smiled and waved his hand, meaning that I received it instead of the mother, and listened to Gonggong Li say: "If this news can be told directly to the emperor, it will be a real surprise, Gonggong Xia, you go back first, and when the emperor wakes up, I will tell the emperor about this as soon as possible."

"Okay, then there will be Grandpa Lao", after Grandpa Xia finished speaking, he looked at the door of the imperial study with some regret, and then left after a few words of greeting.

As soon as Father-in-law Xia left, there were a few coughing sounds in the imperial study, approaching the emperor's voice: "Father-in-law Li, who is at the door?" ”

Gonggong Li pushed the door in, saw that the emperor was reading, and regretted that he didn't let Gonggong Xia come in just now, but he was still very excited to come forward to say hello to the emperor and said: "Your Majesty, it's Gonggong Xia by the queen's side."

"What is he going to do" In addition to serious things, the queen rarely sends people over at other times, and it is inevitable that the emperor will be strange.

Gonggong Li hurriedly knelt down and said, "Congratulations to the emperor, the queen mother is two months pregnant."

"What?" The emperor put down the book in his hand, walked to the edge of the couch, and asked again with some uncertainty, "What did you just say?" ”

Seeing the emperor's appearance as a first-time father, Gonggong Li slowed down his speech again and said: "Congratulations to the emperor, the queen mother is two months pregnant, and you have a prince."

"Haha" The emperor laughed twice, stood up and was about to walk to the table, only to find that he was not wearing shoes. Gonggong Li hurriedly stepped forward to help the emperor put on his shoes, and he didn't care about tidying up, so he ran directly to the desk and carefully took out a jade pendant from a golden bag.

"Your Majesty, this was given by the Empress Dowager when the Empress Dowager was pregnant with you, you are ......" Gonggong Li's time with the former emperor was not short, and he naturally remembered this thing.

"Yes, exactly, I plan to take it to the queen, just go to see him", while walking to the door, he instructed Gonggong Li: "Tell the queen mother about this too, the queen mother's health has been poor after the New Year, and there is finally a happy event in the palace, hurry up and make her happy."

"Yes" The emperor's footsteps were very fast, and Gonggong Li couldn't keep up, so he pointed to his little apprentice to send a message to the queen mother, and asked: "Your Majesty, are you going to see the queen mother now?" ”

"Well, I'm going to see her," said the emperor, who was about to go out.

In fact, Gonggong Li originally served the emperor, but the reign of the emperor was too short, and the emperor had to serve the new monarch when he was young. Now looking at the emperor who is calm and calm on weekdays, and now that he has heard that he has become a father, he is also frizzy and ecstatic, and he suddenly feels a sense of relief in his heart. Hurriedly took a cloak and followed the emperor's footsteps, hurriedly put it on people, and muttered: "Your Majesty, you can slow down."
