In the scorching summer, the previously quiet Jeguo Mansion suddenly became lively.

With the return of Zhou Xiuniang, Zhao Hong's concubine, the Jiguo Mansion is not only lively, but also heavily guarded, with a bit of tension in the grass and trees.

"Listen up! Now that the eldest sister is pregnant, the one who was born is the emperor's grandson. Except for today's official family, anyone who wants to come in has to check it out for me! If you encounter those with bad intentions, just hit them out! ”

In the backyard, Zhou Da was wearing iron armor, wearing an iron helmet, holding a spear, sweating profusely, and lecturing to the family members who were full of knives and guns in the courtyard.

These family members are all subordinates of the Zhou Mansion, and as for the original subordinates of the Jiguo Mansion, they have all been "put on vacation".

"Big brother, what should I do if those relatives and friends of His Highness come? To enter, or not to let in? ”

A family member asked loudly.

"If Your Highness is here, then take them to your Highness, and Your Highness will take care of it. If His Highness is not there, take them to the eldest brother. The eldest brother and His Royal Highness are not there, so ask me. ”

Zhou Da warned the family members, majestic.

"Remember, especially those guys with weapons, as long as they find out that they are plotting wrong, they will be killed on the spot, and I will bear the responsibility if something happens!"

It is not so much that he bears it, but that Zhou Ping bears it and Zhao Hong bears it.

He pointed to all parts of the house, looking at it freely, and his eyes showed a fierce light.

"Look at it, those corner backyards, including the outside of the house, must be carefully checked, and not a single bed bug can come in! If something happens, he will be beaten to death with a stick and sink into the Qiantang River to feed the fish! ”

"Yes!"

The family members shouted, and they were about to leave, but they were stopped by Zhou.

"Remember, even though it's hot, you can't take off your armor. It's a life-saving thing, get it? ”

"Understood!"

The family members were in high spirits and dispersed.

Zhou Da finished giving the order, triumphant, and was about to walk away, when Zhou An and Zhou Jiacheng walked in.

"Outside, second brother!"

Zhou Da hurriedly stepped forward to salute.

"Zhou Da, yes, a bit like a general!"

Zhou Jiacheng held the crockpot in his hand and smiled.

"This is porridge for Xiuniang, send it to her while it's hot. Is Xiuniang okay? ”

"Outside the staff, I'm afraid the eldest sister is about to give birth, just these two days."

After Zhou Da finished speaking, he glanced at the bird cage in Zhou An's hand and hesitated:

"Second brother, it's best not to bring this bird cage into it. The eldest brother said that he was not allowed to bring these things in, for fear of affecting the child in the eldest sister's belly. ”

"You dog minion, what's wrong with me taking this kingfisher? Get the hell out of here! ”

Zhou An's eyes widened, and he was about to step forward.

It's just a minion, and he dares to be presumptuous in front of his master, and he doesn't want to live anymore.

"Second brother, let's put down the birdcage and go in, otherwise, the villain will be punished by the eldest brother!"

Zhou Da stubbornly blocked Zhou An's way.

"you Niang!"

Zhou An's eyes widened, and he raised his leg with a kick, kicking Zhou Da back a few steps.

Fortunately, Zhou Da was wearing armor, and although this kick was kicked in the stomach, it did not cause any harm.

"What do you want to do? Put your birdcage outside! Otherwise, you don't want to go in! ”

Zhou Ping walked over and stopped his younger brother, who was about to step forward and make a move against Zhou Da.

"An'er, go quickly, hang the birds here first, and then go out and take them away later."

Zhou Jiacheng smiled and coaxed his youngest son.

"You're amazing! I'm not going in, okay? ”

Zhou An glared at his brother and Zhou Da viciously, carried the birdcage, turned his head and left.

"This ...... Child! ”

Zhou Jiacheng shook his head, carried the porridge, and said with a smile:

"Ping'er, take your dad in and see Xiuniang."

Zhou Ping nodded and whispered to Zhou Da on the side:

"Zhou Da, well done. Be cautious and don't miss any clues. ”

"Yes, big brother!"

Zhou Da nodded yes, relieved a lot.

is also a brother born to his parents, a knowledgeable and reasonable, and he doesn't talk much; The other one is stubborn and full of bad habits, which is really incomprehensible.

"Dad, did you boil this porridge while you watched?"

Zhou Ping and his father stepped forward and asked softly.

"No, Dad let the next person boil. What's wrong? ”

Zhou Jiacheng nodded, confused.

"Then it's not for you to watch it."

Zhou Ping took the food box in his father's hand.

"Dad, people's hearts are sinister, so it's better to be careful."

In the front yard, watching Zhou An rush away with the birdcage, Li Tang and several guards glanced at each other and smiled disdainfully.

"Second brother, the people from the Zhou family are here, and we have become outsiders. It's really awkward! ”

Hu Datou shook his head, very dissatisfied.

Li Tang's eyes widened and he reprimanded his subordinates.

"What's awkward, is Your Highness bad for you? Less you eat and less you drink? Your mother's illness is not what His Highness is looking for Lang Zhong. His Royal Highness said that the outside is as important as the inside, just keep it well! ”

"That's that! His Royal Highness treats his brothers with the grace of heaven and earth, and the brothers are all obedient to him! I'm just trying to do something. ”

Hu Datou smiled awkwardly, and the crossbow in his hand was always ready to shoot.

Since knowing the news that the Zhou family was going to produce, the palace sent guards, equipped with crossbowmen, etc. However, the guards were pushed back, leaving only the crossbowmen.

"My eyes widened when I wanted to do something. When the emperor's grandson is born, His Royal Highness's position is more stable. Shi Miyuan, those people will never give up. Therefore, there must be no problems with the safety of the lady. ”

Xu Sheng patted Hu Datou's shoulder, which was meaningful.

"Second brother, don't worry. There are bows and crossbows, and this guy, thousands of troops are coming, and he has no return! ”

Hu Datou patted the iron bump on the round iron-headed wooden handle on his waist, and was triumphant.

This is the experimental product of dozens of earth-shaking thunders that have just been created, and there are only twenty or thirty of them in the Great Song Dynasty, and the power is amazing.

"It's better to be careful, pounce on you, and the earth-shaking thunder won't matter. Don't be careless! If something happens, you and I can't afford it! ”

Li Tang said solemnly.

The lady and the imperial grandson are not only related to Zhao Hong's fate, but also determine their future, so he can't be careless.

"Got it. Second brother! ”

Hu Datou was awe-inspiring and said seriously.

In the backyard of the Jeguo Mansion, in the bedroom.

Leaning on the couch and stroking her belly, she could feel the child in her belly making noise, and Zhou Xiuniang felt a burst of happy troubles.

Zhao Hong came back for her, and even divorced his wife Wu.

Not only did the Wu family take a break, but even those beautiful women were driven out of the Jeguo Mansion.

Even with her, her mother, personal maidservants, and housekeepers all arrived at the Jeguo Mansion, and her brother Zhou Ping was in charge of the security in the palace, and even Zhao Hong's henchman Li Tang and others were pushed to the periphery to guard.

originally thought that Zhao Hong was half-hearted with her, but now I found out that Zhao Hong was really good to her.

However, Zhao Hong took a leave of absence from the Wu family, so wasn't he worried about offending Empress Yang?

Didn't he think about the consequences of doing so?

Zhou Xiuniang's brows furrowed.

"Xiuniang, what do you think?"

Mother Zhou Gao walked in, holding a bowl of medicinal porridge in her hand, her face full of love.

"Mother, the little guy is making a lot of noise! I'm afraid I'm going to give birth in a few days! ”

Zhou Xiuniang said softly, looking tired, but her face was full of happy smiles.

"Come, be careful, drink some porridge!"

Zhou Gao helped his daughter up from the couch, picked up the bowl, and said with a smile while feeding:

"Uncle is really reforming his mind, for you, but he has cleaned up and down the house."

"Who knew he would dare to do that!"

Zhou Xiuniang drank porridge and couldn't calm down in her heart.

"Don't worry! My uncle is different now from before, he is very appreciated by the official family, otherwise he would not have been edicted into the palace by the official family in three days. It seems that in a few days, he will be able to become the crown prince! ”

Zhou Gao's mood is not bad.

"I hope so. But Empress Yang's side ......"

Zhou Xiuniang is cowardly by nature, and she is subconsciously afraid of the strong and shrewd Yang Guizhi.

"Xiuniang, don't worry. Although His Royal Highness has cut off contact with the Wu Mansion, you will have a child immediately. If it's a boy, it's the royal heir. For the sake of the official family's face, even if Empress Yang is unhappy in her heart, she will not be embarrassed by Her Royal Highness, let alone for her children. ”

Zhou Gao comforted his daughter softly.

"If only that were the case."

Zhou Xiuniang took a few sips, and her brows furrowed slightly.

"It's making a fuss again! It must be a boy! ”

Zhou Gao hurriedly put down the porridge bowl and stroked his daughter's belly.

"Mother, did you say that Your Highness is only for the children, not for me?"

Zhou Xiuniang lay down again and said quietly.

"Xiuniang, don't think nonsense!"

Zhou Gaoshi patiently relieved his daughter.

"My uncle is the prince of the Great Song Dynasty, and it is very likely that he will be the crown prince, and he will be the official family of the Great Song Dynasty in the future. There will be no fewer women around him, you have to be patient, for the rest of your life, many women will share your husband, it is inevitable. ”

Zhou Gao looked at his daughter and spoke seriously.

"Those who do things with sex, love love when the color declines, and love love and grace. Throughout the ages, women have lived to gain the favor of men, ordinary people, and royal families. You can't distract him, especially now, His Highness's position is not very secure. You only have to remember four words, "the mother is more expensive than the child". ”

Zhou Xiuniang nodded. Although she thinks that Zhao Hong is good to herself, what her mother said is right.

"How can the king of a country have only one concubine. What's more, our Zhou family is a businessman, how can the officials of the Manchu Dynasty let you be the only one in the harem. Although it is an exaggeration to say that the three palaces and six courtyards are exaggerated, there will always be six or seven women. ”

Seeing that his daughter's brows were slightly furrowed, Zhou Gaoshi continued to persuade hard.

"Mother, I see."

Zhou Xiuniang said, yawning involuntarily.

As the prince of the Great Song Dynasty and the future crown prince, how could Zhao Hong lack women around him. Although she is unwilling, she is powerless, and she has to learn to accept and tolerate.

"Dad, you're here too. What about the second brother? ”

Seeing Zhou Jiacheng come in alone with a smile, Zhou Xiuniang endured her tiredness and asked softly.

"That bastard boy, he went in the door and left. Don't mention him. ”

Zhou Jiacheng shook his head, looked at his daughter, and asked with concern.

"Xiuniang, how do you feel?"

"Don't ask, let her rest for a while."

Zhou Gao stood up and pushed her husband out the door.

"I've just arrived...... Xiuniang, you have a good rest! ”

Zhou Jiacheng was pushed out, and turned back to his daughter and admonished.

"Don't mess around! You go to the study and sit for a while and talk to Da Lang. I don't need you here for the time being. ”

"Xiuniang, take a break!"

Seeing his daughter's haggard face, Zhou Gao helped his daughter lie down.

"Mother, be nice to your father, don't push him to other women."

Zhou Xiuniang is also helpless about her mother's strength.

"He dares!"

Zhou's mother raised her eyebrows and comforted her daughter.

"You just don't care about these things and get some sleep."

The daughter fell asleep, and Zhou's mother sat down on a chair next to her to rest.

As soon as you enter the Houmen, you are as deep as the sea, be prepared for danger in times of peace, know your position, and know how to make trade-offs, which is the way to last.

Cousin, this is sitting on the crater, and he can't be careless at all.

After many days of hard work of taking care of his daughter, Zhou Gao fell asleep in a daze, and he didn't know how long he slept, and was awakened by his daughter's moaning.

"Mother, it hurts...... It hurts......"

Zhou Gao hurriedly stood up, only to see Zhou Xiuniang holding her stomach and showing a painful face.

"Xiuniang, my son, what's wrong with you?"

Zhou Gao was startled and quickly held his daughter's hand.

Zhou Xiuniang's due date has arrived, and Zhou Gao's has already arranged everything, and the stable wife and midwife have been in the house, so she is not particularly anxious.

"Mother, it hurts...... It seems to be ...... Raw! ”

Under Zhou Xiuniang's body, water has slowly flowed out.

"It's the amniotic water breaking, don't be nervous."

Zhou Gao comforted his daughter and shouted loudly.

"Quick, prepare hot water, midwife! Come, go to the palace to report, let His Highness return home quickly! ”

The Guogong Mansion is busy inside and out.
