Zhao Junrui hugged her hand gently touched her belly.
Feeling his gentle breath, you can tell that Zhao Junrui is in a good mood.
Jiang Xianyun glanced at him and held the hand on her belly. "I don't know if this baby is a prince or a little princess."
Zhao Junrui was also curious, but this kind of thing was a 50-50 split. Thinking of this, he said, "As long as the baby is born safely and healthy, it's good." As for whether it was a princess or a prince, he didn't have so many requirements.
Jiang Xianyun nodded.
"I think the same as you do. It doesn't matter whether it's a prince or a princess. They are all our children. But I'm afraid that if a princess is born and His Majesty doesn't have any other princes, what if the ministers ask His Majesty to adopt one and bully our child in the future?"
Zhao Junrui also thought of this. If this baby was a princess, he would have no other prince to inherit the throne.
There are also those royal family members in the court who are eyeing the throne, and they must want him to be adopted.
But, how could that be possible? They should forget about it. "Don't worry, if an outsider might bully my princess in the future, I will kill it in the cradle and it will never happen again."
"If I am destined to have only one princess, then she will be the crown prince of Xisheng Kingdom. I will not adopt her to another person just because she is a princess. I am not one of those pedantic people."
He remembered that there was an emperor in history who had only one daughter. When he read the history books, he thought that this emperor was really stupid. He had a daughter but supported the prince consort wholeheartedly. In the end, the prince consort succeeded to the throne, but the princess died in the harem while his wife and concubine were pregnant. If he had not been so pedantic to train the princess to be the empress, the situation would be completely different.
"Well, I believe you will protect our child..."
She was actually just testing his thoughts, and Jiang Xianyun was very satisfied with his idea.
"What do you think we should name our child?"
Zhao Junrui said softly, "Leave it to me. I will think about it seriously when I get back."
"Then take a few more."
"it is good."
The news of Jiang Xianyun's pregnancy was not concealed because there was no need to hide it. Zhao Junrui's people were everywhere in the palace, especially the Qingyu Palace, which was now on high alert.
Zhao Junrui would never allow anyone the chance to harm the baby in Jiang's belly.
that's it.
The news of her pregnancy spread. Maybe Jiang Xianyun's baby was too important, so she just fainted and took a nap, but now the whole palace and the whole capital knew that Concubine Rong was pregnant.
The emperor had a child, which was undoubtedly a great joy for the people who lived a stable life.
Upon hearing the news, many people folded their hands and prayed.
"I hope your majesty will give birth to a prince this time."
"bless."
As the saying goes, some people are happy and some are sad.
Those who were thinking about the emperor adopting their children must have felt bad. It was like a piece of meat that was about to fall into their mouths, but was suddenly taken away. This feeling was really uncomfortable.
The ones who suffered the most were the concubines in the harem.
However, Jiang Xianyun could not sympathize with them because it was their own choice.
These people were only concubines of the emperor in name only. The emperor was willing to let them leave the palace before, and it was not a problem for them to marry someone else. They wanted to fight for it themselves and could not give up the glory and wealth in the palace. As the saying goes, there is gain and loss.
After becoming pregnant, Jiang Xianyun suffered from sleepiness. Every time Zhao Junrui came to see her, she was either sleeping or dozing off.
Sometimes she would fall asleep in the pavilion while strolling around the courtyard. Her sleepiness didn't improve until she was three months pregnant, but she started to have morning sickness again. In short, it was not easy to get pregnant this time.
In the royal garden.
Jiang Xianyun sat in a bush with a round fan in his hand, accompanied by his personal maid Xia Mei and others.
"The weather has been really good these past few days. I heard that the harvest this year is good." "Yes, madam. The rain is good this year and there are no disasters. The crops are growing well. The harvest is more than 30% higher than in previous years."
She nodded slightly.
"Yes, the people can have a good New Year this year."
"Since your Majesty ascended the throne, people's lives have become better."
She remembered that when the previous emperor was in power, the people in those places were so poor that they couldn't get enough food or warm clothes, and they even had to eat tree bark when they were hungry.
Jiang Xianyun rested his hands on his knees.
"Yes, he is a good emperor. He gets up so early every day, goes to bed so late, and works diligently and conscientiously. Those who say he is a tyrant are just jealous and blind."
She did not deny that Zhao Junrui was ruthless and could kill people without blinking an eye. However, as far as she knew, Zhao Junrui had taken over a precarious mess from the beginning. If it were another emperor, he would have become a king who had lost his country long ago, not to mention development and construction.
Her mother, Lin, has now moved out of the Jiang Mansion and lives in the mansion given by the emperor.
Jiang Pingzhi of course disagreed and wanted to go to her mother, Aunt Lin's room. But Aunt Lin had long been extremely disappointed and hated him, so how could she be coaxed by a little sweet talk? She was very determined to move out directly, and she would never have any contact with Jiang's father again.
In the afternoon.
After Zhao Junrui finished dealing with government affairs and was about to go see Jiang Xianyun, he heard that she had already left the palace.
"Li Degui, how many times has this happened this month?"
Eunuch Li smiled faintly and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, the Queen has only left the palace twice this month."
“It’s only the beginning of the month.”
It's not that he didn't want her to leave the palace, but she was pregnant, and if she was accidentally bumped into by someone, he was afraid that she would have a miscarriage.
He raised his hand to signal.
"When Concubine Rong leaves the palace next time, send more people to follow her."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
The person who spoke was the leader of the secret guards around him.
Jiang Xianyun would go out of the palace to visit Lin whenever she had nothing to do. Sometimes she would stay at her place for a night, and the mother and daughter would chat in private.
Lin's life is very good now, and her daughter is pregnant again. She now has hope in life and is looking forward to having a grandson. She will make clothes for the child when she has nothing to do.
Even though Jiang Xianyun was only three months pregnant, Lin had already made several sets of small clothes for her.
"Mom, do you miss me?"
See Lin.
Jiang Xianyun reached out and hugged her. Seeing her daughter acting like a spoiled child who had not grown up, Lin touched her head lovingly as before.
"Why are you here again? Aren't you afraid of His Majesty's blame?"
"Mother doesn't welcome me. I'm so sad."
"Pfft, nonsense, I'm so happy that you're here. But you're the emperor's concubine after all, it's not good to run out for no reason."
"Don't worry, the child's father agrees. His Majesty is usually busy with government affairs. I eat and sleep all day, and I am so bored that grass grows on my head. If I don't go out for a walk, I will be depressed."
Seeing the smile on her daughter's face, she looked relieved.
All the suffering is over.
