Liu Zhao took advantage of the night to return to the East Courtyard.
He obviously didn't do anything, but when he entered the room, he was inexplicably guilty.
hell!
Must be thinking too much.
The room was very quiet, no sound could be heard.
It was only after walking in that I realized that Gu Jiu was reading a book and the maids were doing needlework.
"Young master is back."
Qingzhu called out, then got up to make tea.
Gu Jiu flipped through the book without even looking at Liu Zhao.
Seeing this, Qingmei greeted the little maids to retreat one after another, leaving the small study to the husband and wife.
"cough!"
Liu Zhao coughed lightly, trying to get Gu Jiu's attention.
Gu Jiu turned to the next page, but still didn't give him a straight look.
snort!
Breathing out through the nostrils, this is Gu Jiu's attitude.
If the mountain is not just me, I will go to the mountain.
Liu Zhao walked over and sat in front of Gu Jiu, very close. Close enough to breathe.
"I'm back." He said softly.
Gu Jiu smiled contemptuously, "Is it rare to come back?"
This remark was disgusting, but Liu Zhao was very happy. Auntie, you can be regarded as having a reaction.
How difficult it is to sing a one-man show alone!
If she didn't answer, he wouldn't even know what to say next.
"Of course not rare. But this son is rare for you."
Gu Jiu snorted, "Slick tongue."
Liu Zhao took her by the hand and asked, "Are you busy today?"
Her gaze still remained on the book, and she said angrily, "Of course I'm busy! I'm busy picking out concubines for you."
"What concubine? Where did the concubine come from? Just call out."
When Survival Desire asked Liu Zhao to say this, he was extremely firm, speaking righteously, without any hesitation.
Gu Jiu heheed twice, "The three great joys in life are getting promoted and getting rich and killing your wife. I think this is wrong, I should add one more joy, and the fourth joy is taking a concubine."
"Nonsense! This is absolutely nonsense. I have never heard of such slang. I don't need such a woman by my side."
Liu Zhao's desire to survive is so strong that he is about to speak out.
Gu Jiu laughed mockingly, and was finally willing to give him a straight look.
"It turns out that you just don't need to take a concubine, not that you don't want to take a concubine."
Liu Zhao shook his head again and again, "I don't need it, and I don't want to. Everything is negative."
Gu Jiu looked at him with a half-smile, then grabbed his collar and pulled him to his side.
"The woman bestowed by the empress, you have seen it in Chunhetang. How about it, do you like it? I decide to let you in."
Liu Zhao shook his head like a rattle, "What kind of women, all of them are crooked, not as good as a finger of yours."
Gu Jiu sneered, "What eyes, all of them look smooth, as for slandering them for being crooked?"
Liu Zhao said righteously: "In the eyes of my son, everything is crooked."
"Oh!"
Gu Jiu smiled meaningfully.
Liu Zhao yelled inwardly, he seemed to have said something wrong. Where did I go wrong? Give me a hint, okay
Gu Jiu heheed twice, "Someday when I meet a stunning beauty, do I have to admit it?"
"Injustice!"
Liu Zhao finally knew where he said something wrong.
"It doesn't matter if she's crooked or stunning, as long as she's a woman, she won't be in my eyes."
When he said this, he was very sincere and serious. Just swear.
It is reasonable to say that the desire to survive makes people smart.
Gu Jiu smiled, "Forget it, I don't care about you. This time you pass the test."
call!
Liu Zhao let out a long breath.
There is a feeling of escape.
In the winter, he was so hot that he was sweating.
Seeing that the war was eliminated, Qingzhu took the opportunity to serve tea.
Liu Zhao picked up the teacup and drank half of it in one gulp.
Gu Jiu disliked him, "Drink slowly."
"I talk a lot today and I'm thirsty."
Gu Jiu smiled, "Yes, I shouldn't force you to talk so much."
"Ma'am, I misunderstood. I mean I drank a lot of water in the yamen today." Liu Zhao hurriedly explained.
Gu Jiu laughed, "Don't worry, you think I'm so stingy, and I'll argue with you about this."
Liu Zhao complained in his heart: You say you are not stingy, but when you get on the bed, you will be stingy and kick me out of bed.
Gu Jiu leaned on the soft bed, her whole body relaxed, "The Fourth Young Master chose three women and brought them back. I heard that he and the fourth younger siblings had a fierce quarrel, and the fourth younger siblings smashed up the room."
Liu Zhao said: "Since he was young, the fourth child has liked to get into the crowd of women. It is his nature to be greedy and lustful."
"I'm afraid the fourth sibling is going to die of anger. I don't know what the empress thinks, but she suddenly bestowed a beauty without asking what you think in advance."
Liu Zhao held her hand and said, "We are grandchildren, so naturally the empress doesn't care what we think."
Gu Jiu disagreed, "In the past few years, the stomachs of the second younger siblings have not moved. At that time, the empress did not reward beauties. Now that the second younger siblings are pregnant, the empress rewards beauties at this time, don't you think it's strange? "
Liu Zhao said: "Women's thoughts are too deep, and I can't understand them."
Gu Jiu rolled his eyes at him, she just didn't want to think about this terrible thing.
Ma Xiaoliu hurried in from the outside, "Ma'am, the West Garden is not doing well. I heard that the Fourth Madam is seeing red, and she seems to be pregnant."
Upon hearing this, Gu Jiu was stunned.
Xiao Qin'er is pregnant? Still seeing red
That must have been stimulated by Liu Yi.
She said to Liu Zhao: "I'll go and have a look first, after all, she is a sister-in-law. Wait for me to come back."
"Do you want me to accompany you there?"
"Women's affairs, what did you do as a man in the past. It's best to stay in the room and don't think about it."
Liu Zhao didn't know whether to laugh or cry, Xiao Jiu became more and more lenient, even controlling what was going on in his head. Don't go too far!
Gu Jiu glared at him, Mrs. Ben will take care of it, what do you want
Liu Zhao surrendered: I can't afford it, I can't afford it.
Gu Jiu led his servants to the West Garden.
It was so dark that I couldn't see my fingers.
Only when the front and rear lanterns are illuminated, does it feel bright.
Chickens and dogs jumped in the West Garden, some people cried and others yelled, and the elder brother cried heart-piercingly.
Xiao Qin'er was lying on the bed, yelling.
Mrs. Pei rushed over, "What's going on? The fourth lady is pregnant, why is there no movement at all?"
"The slaves also just found out."
Pei rushed into the bedroom and saw Gu Jiu sitting on the bed, holding Xiao Qin'er's hand.
She thought that Gu Jiu was comforting Xiao Qin'er, but she didn't know that Gu Jiu was taking Xiao Qin'er's pulse.
Pei asked subconsciously, "How is the fourth daughter-in-law? Have you invited the imperial physician?"
"The imperial physician has been sent for, but the imperial physician has not arrived yet."
Gu Jiu let go of Xiao Qin'er's hand calmly, "The four siblings were stimulated, and they were so angry that they became popular. The imperial doctor must come over quickly and prescribe medicine to prevent pregnancy."
Xiao Qin'er's tears fell uncontrollably, soaking the pillow.
"What kind of children do I want? He already has another woman, so I might as well die."
"Fourth sibling, don't say that. If you don't think about yourself, you should also think about your elder brother."
Xiao Qin'er cried even harder.
"What evil did I do? Could it be that I was blind to marry Liu Yi?"
Mrs. Pei stomped her feet angrily, but it was hard to blame Xiao Qin'er.
She was very angry, and shouted at the next person, "Where is the fourth son? His wife is pregnant and popular, and everyone is lying on the bed. Why doesn't he show up?"
The servant said tremblingly: "I'm going to tell you, my son, he is in the wing room. He said that he doesn't care about this matter."
"absurd!"
Pei was so angry that he was half dead.
She repeatedly told Liu Yi not to make too much trouble with Xiao Qin'er. As a result, he ignored his own words.
What's more, Xiao Qin'er was lying on the bed, and he didn't show up.
"Lead the way ahead. My concubine went over to invite him in person, so I don't believe he dared not come."
Furious, Mrs. Pei went to the wing to arrest people.
Liu Yizheng is happy with Xinna's concubine.
The door of the room was kicked open suddenly from the outside. He was about to curse, but when he looked up, he saw Mrs. Pei.
"Mother, why do you..."
"Get out! Your daughter-in-law is pregnant and popular, but you still want to be happy here, how ridiculous are you?"
Liu Yi was stunned, "Is Qin'er pregnant?"
"You do not know?"
Liu Yi shook his head, "I don't know. I thought the servant was talking nonsense, and Qin'er deliberately made excuses to coax me back."
"Didn't you hear the commotion outside?"
Liu Yi felt guilty.
Busy and happy, how can I notice the movement outside.
Pei's face was livid with anger, "What are you still doing in a daze, why don't you hurry up and guard your wife."
Liu Yi scrambled to his feet, feeling a little guilty.
If Xiao Qin'er had a miscarriage, there would be no way to fix this matter.
The Xiao family must beat him to death.
Maybe even Concubine Shu would punish him.
Just because the royal family doesn't value concubines doesn't mean that concubines in the harem don't value concubines.
Most of the high-ranking concubines came from aristocratic families. And the aristocratic family is the place where the heirloom is the most important.
Concubines, for the sake of the throne, you can ignore the concubines.
But it is about their own children and grandchildren, they still hope that the aunt and concubine are different.
Concubine Xiao Shu was born in the Xiao family, so she naturally didn't want her children and grandchildren to spoil their concubines and kill their wives, and mess up their concubines.
There is absolutely no reason to force a concubine to death for a concubine.
What's more, Xiao Qin'er was also from the Xiao family.
If Xiao Qin'er had a miscarriage because of Liu Yi's taking a concubine, Concubine Xiao Shu would vent her anger on Xiao Qin'er's behalf without the Xiao family's help.
Liu Yi dressed neatly and washed off the smell of powder on his body, for fear of irritating Xiao Qin'er. After that, he hurried to the upper room to make amends.
Gu Jiu thoughtfully, gave up the seat at the head of the bed, and waited in the side hall.
Ouyang Fu came to the West Garden with a big belly.
She whispered to Gu Jiu, "Sister-in-law, what's going on inside?"
"I guess the fourth son is making amends."
At this time, the servants came with the imperial physician.
Pei was anxious to get angry, "Prince doctor, hurry up, you must keep the child."
"Ma'am, don't worry, I'll give the fourth lady a pulse first."
"Yes, yes, please hurry up."
Pei followed the imperial physician into the bedroom.
Everyone was very nervous, because they were afraid that there would be an accident in Xiao Qin'er's birth, and everyone would follow suit.
Ouyang Fu said sourly: "The fourth younger siblings are easy to give birth to. The eldest brother is not yet one year old, and she is pregnant again."
Gu Jiu glanced at her abdomen, "The second sibling is about to give birth."
Ouyang Fu laughed in a blink of an eye, "The imperial doctor calculated the time for me, and the first baby will be born in the first month."
Gu Jiu smiled and said, "Catch up with the New Year, this kid is lucky."
"Not really."
Ouyang Fu glanced at Gu Jiu's abdomen calmly, "Sister-in-law should also hurry up."
Gu Jiu smiled, "I'm not in a hurry."
Why are you in no hurry
Ouyang Fu believed that Gu Jiu was being stubborn.
Gu Jiu is really not in a hurry.
Her body suffered a lot when she was young.
After raising it for several years, the body is almost healed. But in terms of fertility, it seems that Xiao Qin'er is not as easy to conceive as Xiao Qin'er.
She is patient and hopes to welcome the arrival of new life with the healthiest body.
I don’t want to get pregnant when I’m weak, it’s not good for children or adults, it’s bad for my body.
She hopes to give birth to a healthy baby, and the child can grow up without illness or disaster.
After the imperial doctor's pulse diagnosis was completed, he prescribed a miscarriage medicine, and told Xiao Qin'er to rest well and not get angry.
Her fetus is only one month old, and the fetal image is unstable.
If you don't take good care of it, I'm afraid this baby won't survive.
After sending the imperial physician away, Mrs. Pei sighed.
It is a good thing for Xiao Qin'er to be pregnant, but it is not beautiful when Liu Yi is taking a concubine.
She called Liu Yi outside, "I'll take those three women away first. You'd better calm down and don't mess with Qin'er."
Liu Yi refused, "Everyone is mine now, how can I take it away. Let them keep it, at worst I won't enter their room for the time being."
With a stern face, Pei asked angrily, "Can you resist going into their room?"
"Mother concubine also underestimates her son, and my son promises to hold back."
Mrs. Pei snorted, "You'd better hold it back. Qin'er is pregnant, which is a good thing. If you cause her to miscarry, this princess will not spare you."
Liu Yi said with a smile: "Don't worry, concubine mother, the son knows the importance. I will definitely coax her well and tell her not to think about it."
Pei sneered, how can a woman not think wildly.
She was tired, so she let Liu Yi do it by herself.
…
Gu Jiu returned to the east courtyard, chatted with Liu Zhao for a while, and talked about Xiao Qin'er's situation.
Liu Zhao hugged her, "When will we have a baby?"
Gu Jiu smiled and said, "Sooner or later there will be."
Liu Zhao's hand landed on her abdomen, "How about tonight..."
"It's not yet time, we have to wait for three days."
Liu Zhao frowned, feeling extremely resentful.
Ever since I decided to have a baby, I can't exercise as much as I want.
You have to follow the timetable for taking care of the baby, saying that if you follow the timetable, you will be more likely to conceive.
What's the point here, he didn't figure it out.
He knew that the number of his favorite sports dropped sharply, which was simply not the life of a normal man.
He opened his mouth and bit Gu Jiu's lips.
If you can't exercise, you have to find some compensation.
Gu Jiu was speechless, could a man's needs not be so strong.
…
Mrs. Xiao came to the palace to visit Xiao Qin'er.
During the day, Liu Yi went to work in the Yamen, and the West Garden was very quiet.
Seeing Xiao Qin'er's pale face, haggard eyes, and thin body, Mrs. Xiao felt very distressed.
"You child, you don't know how to take care of your body when you're pregnant. You've been arguing with Liu all day, and you almost hurt the child in your stomach."
Xiao Qin'er was wronged, "Mother, do you know that my mother gave me a beauty yesterday. That night, my cousin brought three women back to his room. He also pointed at my nose and called me a jealous woman, and said that it doesn't matter if I accept it or not. , he wants to take a concubine. At that time, my daughter really wanted to kill him."
Mrs. Xiao frowned, "Calm down first, don't be angry. You just said that the empress bestowed beauty?"
Xiao Qin'er wiped away her tears, "That's right. My daughter felt that it was a bit strange without any news beforehand. Mother, can you go to the palace for your daughter and ask what's going on? Why did the empress suddenly give you beauty?"
Mrs. Xiao nodded, "Don't worry, I will enter the palace tomorrow, and I haven't greeted my mother for some days. As for Liu Yi's concubine, I also know that you are sad. But men are always the ones who like the new and hate the old, you have to think about it yourself." Open up and think more about your children."
"My daughter can't think about it."
Xiao Qin'er gritted her teeth, "The eldest son doesn't take concubines, and the second son has been around for so many years, and there are only two maids. How can my cousin be special and able to take concubines. Besides, I gave birth to my eldest brother, and he even There's no reason to have a concubine."
"You, you are on the edge of a dead end. Think about it for yourself, which man in this world does not take concubines?"
"Eldest son doesn't have a concubine's room."
"That's because they don't have children yet. If they don't take concubines now, they are afraid that the concubine's room will give birth to the eldest son in advance, which will mess up the concubines. When the eldest son has a concubine, it will be sooner or later."
Xiao Qin'er shook her head, "That's not the case. The eldest son and sister-in-law are different from other couples. The eldest son really doesn't take concubines."
Mrs. Xiao said: "Majestic grandson, can you not take concubines? You, don't just stare at the big house, think more about how you rely on your children to keep your favor. Try to have two more brothers. In this way, whoever I can't beat you either.
Just like the princess, with so many women around King Ning, who can surpass the princess? In the end, the person King Ning respected the most was the concubine. "
Xiao Qin'er burst into tears.
"Silly boy, don't cry, don't cry."
Xiao Qin'er cried and said: "Mother's words are poignant, but my daughter just can't accept it, and she can't pass this hurdle. My daughter doesn't want him to take a concubine."
"Good boy, don't cry, be careful not to hurt the child. Women, all have this disaster. After crossing this hurdle, men will be the same."
"My daughter can't pass this hurdle."
Xiao Qin'er burst into tears.
