Next, Yufu withdrew from the busy government affairs and completely led a comfortable life of raising a baby.
All the affairs of the court were shared for her. Every day, she either drank the medicines given to her by Yuehu and Tianshu, or ate various medicated snacks sent by Yin Jizheng.
Yuan Zhang, Ning An, and Ning Ping, who were brought into the palace with Gu Huaijiang in their free time, were amused, but they were also very comfortable.
"The baby in the goddamn belly must be the younger sister."
Ning An murmured, and suddenly said such a sentence to Yufu's stomach, but Yufu was taken aback.
Ning Ping also said, "Yes, sister is good."
"How do you know it's your sister?"
Ning An tilted his little head and said with a smile: "I already have a brother, brother Yuanzhang. I don't have a sister yet, so what if I had a beautiful sister like a godmother."
Yufu also tilted his head, "At a young age, I knew that I liked my sister and disliked my brother. Humph, I will tell her when your mother comes back."
"Good mother, don't tell mother."
Ning An approached her and whispered: "If I tell my mother, she must think that I didn't love my brother well, she should be angry."
Yufu couldn't help but smile, and there were quite a lot of thoughts in his mind, just like Xiaodou Ding, who was so big and fart like Ning An.
She stroked her belly lightly, "I can't tell if it's a man or a woman. I'll be able to tell in a few months. I'm not like you. I like both boys and girls." "
Yufu said and looked at Gu Huaijiang, "What did father say?"
Gu Huaijiang also likes girls, but when he thinks of what Yufu said last time, he thinks he can't say it too blatantly, otherwise what would make Yin Jizheng, who gave birth to Yuanzhang, think
Conveniently said: "It is good whether it is a male or a female, and it is not only one child. In the future, it will naturally have both children."
This kind of childbirth is doomed by God. Fortunately, Bei Li doesn't insist on a man to inherit the Datong. This child will be the head of the royal family whether he is a man or a woman.
Yufu himself said, "I think so too. I just want my children to grow up safely."
The war has not yet completely calmed down, and the peace in front of him is hard-won. She was pampered in the palace, talking and laughing, but Gu Shubai and others worked hard in the front.
She knew in her heart that she just had to make a carefree look on her face, and she couldn't live up to Gu Huaijiang's good intentions to come to speak with her from outside the palace.
Yaolan suddenly hurried in from outside the hall, "Master Gu, the mansion will send someone to tell you the good news, the sixth lady is pregnant!"
"what?"
Both Gu Huaijiang and Yu Fu were very happy, but unexpectedly it happened that not long after Yu Fugang was pregnant, Su Yunyan also had it.
Yufu hurriedly said: "Father, you can go back and have a look, I am fine here. Congratulations to Brother Six and Yunyan for me."
Gu Huaijiang hesitated for a moment, nodded and said: "Okay, you rest well, I will come back to see you tomorrow."
He was overjoyed, but he didn't rush to leave. Instead, he told Yaolan to take good care of Yufu, and refused her intention to let Yaolan send herself out, for fear that no one around Yufu would be considerate.
Yu Fuxi said: "Yunyan said before that he should not have children, saying that his father has so many sons and there is no shortage of grandchildren in her stomach. You see, this is not talking about mouthing, the retribution is coming right away?"
She could almost imagine Su Yunyan knowing that she was pregnant, she must have said that she did not want to have a baby, and her heart was incredibly sweet.
Gu Yi must be crazy about joy, and she should also comfort Su Yunyan with good words, so that she must give birth to the child properly.
Yaolan also smiled and said: "Yes, the sixth son's child was born at the same age as your majesty's. If you count upwards, Yuanzhang's little son is about the same age as Ning'an and Ningping. These children will grow up in the future. There will be playmates when you grow up, so happy!"
Yufu couldn't help but imagine that scene, perhaps like Gu Shubai and the others when they were six children, brothers were of the same age, and how happy they were when they grew up together as a company.
…
Gu Shubai came back in the evening, with a slightly tired look between his eyebrows.
When Yufu saw that he was busy talking about Su Yunyan, Gu Shubai smiled and said: "I have heard it, but I can't go back to the house in time. I will visit again tomorrow."
"By the way, I also have good news to tell you. We sent twenty spies who had already learned the Sangyi language, pretending to be Goryeos and mixed into Sangyi. The Sangyi people have always been contemptuous of Goryeo, and they will definitely not be defensive. ."
He is now reporting good news but not worrying. All the troubles in the court are discussed by him and Tian Yunpo and other important court officials. They will not tell Yufu, and only mention happy events to make her happy.
Yufu is also very cooperative, "That's great. If you can know the time of their troop deployment in advance, you can at least prepare early."
Gu Shubai helped her to get up, dinner was set, and the two sat quietly to eat together. This was the most relaxing moment of the day.
"Do you think your body is okay today?"
"Fortunately, it's just a bit disgusting."
He noticed that the dishes tonight were light, and Yufu's favorite shrimps and crabs were all set far away, and she didn't touch them.
It seems that the symptoms of nausea and nausea have deepened.
Gu Shubai put down his chopsticks, "Tomorrow I will go to Yuehu to ask, see if there is a solution. Your body is not strong, and the hot weather is getting weaker, how can you not eat meat?"
After that, she squeezed her cheek lightly, "The meat I finally raised is going to lose weight again."
Yufu shook his head, "The elder sister and the second elder brother have tried their best to take care of me. I heard that Ji Yu said that she had more serious bliss when she was pregnant. So spoiled."
"It would be great if you are spoiled, and I am happy to be accustomed to how to raise me. But you always say that everything is fine with you, and I don't know how to share some of the hard work for you."
He stretched out his hand to touch her belly, and smiled unconsciously when he thought that there was a little life that belonged to them was gestating.
Yufu smiled and leaned his head lightly on his shoulder, "It's really not hard, you worked harder in the front. In order to relieve you a little bit of pressure, I decided to—"
"Didn't you say that, all the annoying political affairs will be handled by me?"
When Gu Shubai saw that she wanted to worry about government affairs, he immediately interrupted her, but Yufu said, "It's not a political matter, and I don't worry about it. I intend to make you the regent, what do you think?"
Gu Shubai's complexion became stiff and almost didn't react.
It took a while before he recovered his expression, and said calmly: "In the Northern Li Dynasty, there are rules for not appointing kings of the opposite sex, which is even more demanding for the appointment of kings. Even your uncle can only be made a county king. This move... Is it too scary?"
Yufu smiled and shook his head, "I don't think so. Now I am pregnant, and I cannot take care of the affairs of the court, and I have to rely on you. But if the name is not correct, the words will not go well. Although the name of the king's husband is noble, it is not here. It is a precedent of monopolizing power in the court. Now I directly decree to canonize for you, and it will be more convenient for you to deal with government affairs."
Before Gu Shubai had time to speak, Yufu said again: "The title is one thing, and the official position has to be given another title. The highest rank of the military commander in Beili is the general. The previous generations can only have one. But it doesn't matter, rules. It is determined by man, and there can be two generals in this dynasty."
She had obviously considered it a long time ago, and had no intention of discussing with the ministers.
Gu Shubai thought for a moment, "In fact, there is no need to spend so much time and effort. After a few months, when the child is born, you can regain control of the government after your body recovers."
Yufu shook his head firmly, "No, I don't want something like Xikun's last time to happen again. If you are to be wronged again and again for my identity, this is not what I want."
Gu Shu's eyes waved with a smile, and slowly said word by word: "I don't feel wronged, really."
"I do not care."
Seeing that persuasion could not be achieved, Yufu simply lied. Anyway, she is pregnant now, and everyone is obedient to her and dare not defy her. She does not believe that Gu Shubai will insist on going against her will.
Sure enough, when she acted like a baby, Gu Shubai was helpless.
"Well, I'll listen to you, can I have a meal now?"
Yufu turned his face, only then showed a satisfied smile.
As soon as the will came out the next day, although the ministers were shocked by the noble rank of the regent, they did not dare to make a noise in front of Yufu, and only discussed privately in the DPRK.
"Your Majesty is pregnant, and all the affairs of the court are handed over to the regent. Is this too powerful?"
"Yes, not to mention that there are no two generals in the same dynasty in the past. Who is the respect among these generals?"
"Your Majesty doesn't even go to the morning, look at it!"
The palace people set up separate seats above the golden palace and below the dragon seat. Gu Shubai sat on the upper seat without squinting his eyes, and listened to the comments of the courtiers.
At a critical moment, Ouyang Qi stood up and said, "The regent was originally the king's husband, and now his majesty is pregnant with him in charge of the court, which is reasonable. As for the rank of military commander, I should have been promoted a long time ago. Anyway, I have no objection."
Good guy, he is a general, and he doesn't even say he has any problems. Even if the courtiers dare to be nosy
Tian Yunpo also stood up, smiling slightly, but his eyes were very firm, "What else can you worry about, adults? Your Majesty and the Regent even have children. Are you still worried that your child's father will usurp the position of your child?"
The remarks are not rough, and the courtiers feel more relieved when this remark comes out.
Gu Shubai glanced at Tian Yunpo, and only said: "If you are dissatisfied with your majesty's will, you can go to the Palace of Longevity to find your majesty. If you don't want to go to your majesty, now I will talk about the compensation for the fallen soldiers and shipbuilders. Progress."
The ministers were honest, they didn't dare to put a fart.
Everyone knows that Yufu is raising a fetus. At this time, who would dare not run to the Palace of Longevity and disturb her? It is necessary to cooperate honestly with Gu Shubai.
…
After leaving early and returning to the Hall of Longevity, Yufu ordered an ice bowl to relieve the heat.
She looked excited, "How is it? Is it going well today?"
"As you might expect, it can't go smoothly anymore."
He took off the crown belt, sat on the couch and faced Yufu, took a sip of the sweet soup from the ice bowl, and the heat dissipated suddenly.
There was envy in Yufu's eyes. She couldn't eat more ice now, she could only watch Gu Shu eat for nothing.
This ice bowl is made up of sliced lotus roots, cored fresh lotus seeds, fresh water chestnut, and fresh old chicken heads. It is called "hexianer". Place small pieces of natural ice on the bottom of the small bowl, put "hexianer" on top, sprinkle with sugar, and call it an ice bowl.
Yufu also ordered people to add peeled fresh walnuts, fresh almonds, melons, peaches and other things in the ice bowl to make it more sweet and delicious.
Seeing her greedy look, Gu Shubai carefully scooped out a piece of her favorite water chestnut and sent it to her mouth. The residual coldness made her smile uncontrollably.
He then said: "You are right. If your name is not correct, your words will be unsatisfactory. Before you returned to Beili to take the throne, wasn't it because there were no ministers in the court to preside over political affairs. You give me the status of regent, and I don’t have to worry about the courtiers feeling that I have exceeded my power as I did before. It is indeed much more convenient for me to do things."
"That's good."
Yufu felt more relieved, and Gu Shubai suddenly looked up at her, "By the way, where did the position of General come from? There was no Dongling before, and I had never heard of it in Xikun."
Yufu smiled and said: "Dongling respects the former Han system, with the great general as the head of the military attache. This dynasty respects the ancient system of the Spring and Autumn Period. The above generals are the heads of the military attaches. They are above the general and there can only be one person to show their identity. Noble."
"I see."
"Why is it so good that I suddenly remembered to ask this?"
Gu Shubai thought for a while and said: "No wonder General Ouyang came to me in private and said that he would resign from this position. I advised him not to mention this. You have mentioned it before and you have refused it, so why bother to mention it now?"
Yufu said, "It turns out that this is the case. It's not difficult. I used to worry about your youthful prestige. Besides, I knew you wanted face. If you get people to argue that you got this position because of me, you must feel uncomfortable. Now this Worry no longer exists. You are already the regent of one person and tens of thousands of people. Can the generals not afford it?"
"As for General Ouyang, he is not young anymore, and he will be given a knighthood in the future. I know a little bit about the situation in his family. His two sons have been well-trained in the army. I think General Ouyang will be even better if he is kind to them. Happy."
Gu Shubai suddenly put down the spoon and looked at her rather strangely.
Yufu touched his face subconsciously, "What's wrong? Is there something on my face?"
He shook his head, "No. I just listened to the talks of the ministers of the DPRK, saying that you have changed a lot from the time you just came back. In the past, you always had to discuss with the ministers a lot, but now more of them are rulings alone."
Yu raised his eyebrows, his eyes were a little chilly, "They argue that I can do it arbitrarily?"
What a courage.
Gu Shubai couldn't help laughing, "No, no, it's because you are more and more insightful and better at doing things. Just like the last time you made an order to the King of Goryeo, some ministers in the dynasty worried that King Goryeo would feel insulted instead. Will cooperate. I didn’t expect that he was really a bully and fearful of evil. When he was scared by you, he immediately opened the port. If you didn’t make an order last time, this time we would like to send spies disguised as a Korean from Goryeo to travel to Sanyi from Goryeo. I'm afraid it will not be easy."
Yufu smiled and said, "The way of the emperor, the right way is to use grace and power. Since I became the throne, various policies have been too lenient, and it is inevitable that people will mistake me for my weakness and deception. It doesn't matter if I misunderstand me. Take lightly. Only when we use some harsh methods at the right time, people can't figure out my routine."
Looking at Gu Shubai as if asking for credit, "What do you think?"
Gu Shubai was serious, "I think it's good."
The two of them looked at each other and laughed somehow, and the palace man guarding outside the hall heard the laughter and looked at the hall curiously, just a glance back to the original.
Yufu motioned to his bowl, "I still want to eat."
Although the iceberg in the temple was not hot, Yufu became more greedy after becoming pregnant, and couldn't move his eyes when staring at his bowl.
Gu Shubai thought to himself that this ice bowl was not just for him, but Yufu was worried that Yuehu and the others would not let her eat it, so he wanted to get a share of the pie with his own reasons.
He reluctantly took another spoonful of melon to her mouth, and then ordered someone to put the bowl away, "Take it down, so that your majesty will not look greedy."
The court lady took the bowl away in a rush, and Yu Fu was too late to stop it.
She squashed her mouth and didn't speak, but took away an ice bowl, just as if she was taken away by someone.
Gu Shubai couldn't help but laugh, "I just saw the fresh lychees from Lingnan sent outside. Don't you like the one you like the most?"
"Really?"
Yufu's eyes lit up, and then quickly reacted, "But the master sister said that you can't eat more, it's not good for the child."
"When I entered the door, I ordered ten pumps to be in the well. It was just right at the moment. The pumps in the well were not as cold as they had been iced. They were just for you to eat."
As Gu Shubai said, the palace man outside the hall ordered the lychee to be brought up, and Yufu finally laughed again and let him peel the lychee for her by himself.
The sunlight outside the temple stretched the shadow of the tree very long, and it cast mottled shadows on the bright window in front of the couch. The sparse cicadas cried and babbled... The years were just right.
