Nan Yan was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously said: "Why?"
Zhu Feng looked at her: "Why, don't you want to have a son?"
"..."
"You know that from ancient times to the present, there is no daughter in the harem who does not want to give birth to a son."
"..."
Nan Yan was silent for a while, and then said with a complicated expression: "Actually, to me, it doesn't matter whether it's a son or a daughter, they are all my darlings. It's just—"
She looked at Zhu Feng.
The one who really cares about having boys and girls is probably Zhu Feng.
He likes his daughter, but still hopes that he will give him a son.
Zhu Feng raised his eyes to look at her, and said calmly: "You are right, sons and daughters are the same, I will like them both."
"..."
"However, I still hope that you will give me a son. Your and my son."
"..."
"I've said it before."
Nan Yan suddenly remembered that when she was still in the Jinling Palace, Zhu Feng once told her such a thing, asking her to give him a son as soon as possible, a son belonging to the two of them.
Before everything is settled.
Nan Yan frowned slightly.
If she said she didn't understand before, it might be because she didn't think too deeply, but now, she is pregnant with a child, maybe a prince, maybe a princess, she can no longer "understand".
Nanyan was quiet for a long time again, for some reason, the sweet-scented osmanthus cake, which was originally sweet and delicious, looked a bit wood-skinned in his mouth at this time.
Even, a little astringent.
She said softly: "What if I really gave birth to a daughter?"
Zhu Feng glanced at her, and said with a faint smile, "Daughter, aren't you my own flesh and blood?"
"..."
"I will love you just the same."
Hearing what he said, Nan Yan was slightly relieved.
Zhu Feng said in a deep voice again: "But, I still hope that you will have a son."
Nan Yan held half a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake, and after a long time, she nodded lightly: "En."
Zhu Feng smiled: "Eat quickly."
After eating the sweet-scented osmanthus cake, Zhu Feng took her to bed for a nap.
These days, it's like this.
In fact, she knew that if Zhu Feng wanted to stay in Beiping, he would only be busier than when he was in Jinling, but no matter how busy he was, he would spare some time every day to eat and sleep with her.
So, out of habit, as soon as Nan Yan lay down, she got into his arms.
Zhu Feng also smiled and stretched out his hand to hold the thin girl in his arms, but her stomach was already protruding, and said softly, "Be careful."
"Know it."
Nan Yan rubbed her cheek in his arms, then closed her eyes, and soon fell asleep in his familiar and reassuring breath.
However, after a while, I felt a shock.
She opened her eyes in a daze, and saw Zhu Feng gently put his hand on the bed, and Nan Yan asked in a daze, "Your Majesty?"
"You continue to sleep."
"Um… "
"I have something to do."
"oh… "
Zhu Feng lowered his head and pecked her on the forehead: "Good boy."
Nan Yan was comforted and closed her eyes again.
This sleep lasted until three o'clock, and her whole body was so weak from sleep, Ran Xiaoyu felt that she could not continue to sleep like this, so she woke her up.
"Ma'am, get up."
"..."
Nan Yan opened her eyes and looked at her for a while, then looked at the vacant space around her, and then said softly, "Where's the emperor?"
"The emperor has gone to deal with the government affairs."
"oh… "
Nan Yan lay down quietly for a while, then sat up with her limp body propped up.
Although I knew that Zhu Feng was very busy and I shouldn't cause trouble for him, but when I woke up and couldn't see him, I was still a little bit disappointed.
Maybe she is really pregnant, and I always hope that he can be by my side every day, right in front of my eyes.
Thinking of this, she reached out and patted her forehead again.
What are you thinking about
He is Zhu Feng, and he is busy with big things!
Even if I marry an ordinary man, I have to go out to work every day to support my family, but he, he is the emperor, and he has to take care of the whole world.
How can I let him do nothing every day and just be by my side? Who is that!
Thinking of this, she laughed too.
After getting up, I combed my hair, and the anti-fetal medicine was delivered from the kitchen.
Nan Yan complained as usual, and then she drank it obediently, her little face was wrinkled together by the bitterness, and Ran Xiaoyu hurriedly served her candied fruit.
At this moment, Xiao Shunzi came.
"The imperial concubine."
"Xiao Shunzi, what's the matter?"
"Master Gu, please see me."
"uncle?"
Nan Yan opened her eyes wide, and sure enough, she saw Gu Tingqiu's figure not far from the door, at the gate of the small courtyard.
Nan Yan hurriedly said: "Please."
Gu Tingqiu came in from the outside, knelt down and bowed to her: "I pay my respects to the imperial concubine."
"Don't be too polite, uncle, please get up."
This place is not in the Jinling Imperial Palace, there is not such a strict division of the imperial concubine, so it is easier for Gu Tingqiu to come to see her than to ask to see the noble concubine in the palace.
But etiquette cannot be discarded.
He bowed politely, and Nan Yan hurriedly pointed to the chair beside him: "Uncle, please sit down."
Gu Tingqiu pleaded guilty, and then sat obliquely on a corner of the chair.
He said: "Before, when I heard that the imperial concubine was in disaster, I was terrified. Fortunately, the imperial concubine and the empress have returned safely."
Nan Yan smiled and said, "I made uncle worry."
"Don't dare."
As Gu Tingqiu spoke, he raised his head again, with an uncontrollable joy on his face: "I also heard that the empress is already happy."
Nan Yan also laughed, looked down at her pregnant belly, and nodded slightly.
"Um."
"Congratulations, empress, congratulations, empress."
"Thank you uncle."
It is also good to have someone to share the joy with, and Gu Tingqiu's joy naturally adds another layer.
With this child, Nanyan's position in the harem became even more stable.
If she wins a man in one fell swoop—
The Si family and their Gu family, don't say they can get up, I'm afraid it will be icing on the cake soon, and the fire seems to be cooking brilliantly.
Nan Yan smiled, and said again: "By the way, what is Uncle doing these days?"
"These ministers are supervising the construction of the city wall in the east of the city these days."
"Oh," Nan Yan nodded with a smile: "When I passed through Beiping, I saw that the construction project was going smoothly. Uncle is doing very well."
Gu Tingqiu said: "Your Majesty is absurd."
"Then why did you come here today?"
"Because of a small matter, I have to come back to report to the emperor and ask for troops to be dispatched. By the way, let's come and see the empress."
"Deploy troops?"
When Nan Yan heard these two words, her expression froze slightly.
After all, I am in Beiping, which is different from when I was in Jinling.
As soon as she mentioned the deployment of troops, the tragic scene of the Peking War half a year ago immediately appeared in her mind.
Immediately nervously said: "Is something wrong?"
