Hey! Host! I asked you to have a child, not to have a strategy.

However, there are still some people who are obsessed with her, and some even say that as long as she is willing to get married, they are willing to raise the baby in her belly as their own son.

All of them were rejected by Zhu Baishao.

"Wow!"

A loud baby cry was heard.

The midwife said happily: "Mrs. Zhu, you gave birth to a big fat boy!"

Bitao looked at the newborn baby in surprise, feeling a little at a loss as to what to do.

Ahhhh! This is the first prince of His Majesty! !

Can I hold you?

A hug won’t hurt, right?

There was a midwife helping Zhu Baishao deal with the aftermath, and there was also a midwife teaching Bitao how to hold the baby.

When Zhu Baishao saw this scene before falling asleep, a sentence popped up in her mind at an inopportune time: Everyone has a bright future.

……

In the imperial city, ever since Xiao Huanzhi asked local officials to investigate nunneries, they found several women named Zhu Baishao before they became nuns, but after being sent to the imperial city, they were sent back in the same state.

None of them is the person Xiao Huanzhi is looking for.

Now that the political situation is stable and the country is peaceful and the people are safe, the eyes of many court officials can't help but turn to Xiao Huanzhi's empty harem.

However, those who submitted memorials to the emperor were fined their salaries, and those who dared to raise issues in the court were rejected by him with a cold face. These people were simply too idle.

As for those noble ladies and palace maids who were ready to make a move, they were inevitably scolded and beaten.

For a moment, the harem in the huge palace was empty.

Three years have passed by in a blink of an eye.

Xiao Huanzhi's personality was as cold as his heart. It seemed as if his heart was incomplete without one person.

This world actually feels boring.

But he didn't dare to stop. As soon as he stopped, he would think of Zhu Baishao. The longer the time, the longer his longing would spread like a vine.

The constant thought in my mind is like a demon.

Every word she had ever said to him seemed to ring in her ears.

How many times in his dreams at midnight did he regret why he let her go!

Even if she is in love with Wen Yan, he will keep her by his side. What's more, he has already realized that Zhu Baishao is not in love with Wen Yan!

It’s a pity that he didn’t understand what she meant at the time, which hurt her heart and made her avoid him.

Xiao Huanzhi had his people continue to search for Zhu Baishao in various temples, while using court affairs to divert attention.

But he never thought that becoming a monk was just a joke of Zhu Baishao.

However, his body became thinner due to the fatigue caused by his distracted mind.

Finally, the court officials could no longer stand it and discussed making a direct remonstrance, asking the emperor to visit Jiangnan in person on the grounds that the salt affairs in Jiangnan had not been inspected for several years.

It happens to be the beginning of spring, and when we arrive, we can enjoy the beautiful scenery of Jiangnan and relax your majesty.

Jiangnan has always been home to many beauties, so...

Xiao Huanzhi felt that it was dispensable, so he nodded in agreement.

The plan to go to the south of the Yangtze River was thus decided.

The court officials both loved and feared Xiao Huanzhi, who was always autocratic and a master of the art of ruling. So they acted immediately and soon arranged a fleet.

The tall ship, as big as a city, broke through the still somewhat cold water surface in early spring and headed south, with green mountains winding and undulating on both sides.

Inside the ship, Xiao Huanzhi did not go to the bow deck to enjoy the scenery, but sat under the window, playing chess with his left and right hands. That chess game was the restored version of the last game between him and Zhu Baishao.

The salt merchants in the south of the Yangtze River were the richest in the world. The government only managed and collected taxes. However, some merchants who were lucky enough to take advantage of the situation sold official salt with one hand and private salt with the other, evading taxes and living a life of luxury. There was bound to be collusion between officials and businessmen, and they were naturally afraid that the emperor would find out something.

As soon as Xiao Huan's fleet arrived in the south of the Yangtze River, officials and salt merchants from the south of the Yangtze River flocked to it and treated the people above to delicious food and drinks.

Unfortunately, they didn't know that the real Xiao Huanzhi had already disembarked in advance with more than a dozen guards to secretly investigate the people's sentiments.

Entering the south of the Yangtze River in spring, the spring breeze is warm, the phoenixes are flying and the butterflies are dancing, the peach and plum flowers are in full bloom, and it is a scene of brilliance and fragrance.

A group of riders passed by a river. Xiao Huanzhi glanced at the group of people flying kites and going for a walk on the opposite side, then looked away expressionlessly.

The people in the south of the Yangtze River are healthy and happy.

"Hey--"

Suddenly, a shout came from the opposite side, and a woman jumped and waved to them.

"His Majesty!"

The guards standing by were confused and reined in their horses, looking alert.

Xiao Huanzhi also stopped and looked up, realizing something was happening. He saw that the colorful dragonfly kite in the air had broken its string and was falling towards them across the river.

Xiao Huanzhi's eyes were cold and when the dragonfly flew closer, he reached out and caught it.

At this time, the woman who had been jumping on the other side of the river also ran over from the bridge, holding up her skirt, lowered her head and panted, "Thank you, thank you, sir..."

Xiao Huanzhi opened his eyes slightly, his heart was filled with turmoil, and he tried hard to suppress his joy and asked, "Bi Tao?"

"Ah?" Bi Tao, who was lamenting that her health had deteriorated after not practicing martial arts for several years, suddenly heard someone calling her name and raised her head in surprise.

Seeing her reaction, Xiao Huanzhi immediately looked across the river and observed carefully. As expected, he saw a graceful figure in a plain skirt.

I wish Bai Shao...

It's really hard to find anything even if you try hard to find it, and it takes no effort to get it.

……

On the other side, Zhu Baishao was holding a fairy-like little boy with delicate features, fair and tender skin, and a skin so delicate that it looked as if he could be blown away. It was none other than her son, Xiao Siyan, whom she gave birth to three years ago.

If he hadn't been taken care of since he was a child and dressed in boys' clothes, I'm afraid everyone would have thought of him as a little girl.

The facial features are too delicate and beautiful.

At this time, Xiao Siyan was only three years old, and his voice was soft and sweet, with the baby voice that only belongs to children.

"Mother, the dragonfly flew away."

Listening to the childish words, the coldness on Zhu Baishao's face seemed to be blown away by the wind, revealing the softness underneath, and she said softly: "It's okay, your Aunt Bitao will bring the dragonfly back later."

But in my heart I said to the system: "System, you are such a good person!"

System: [I now know what a good guy card is, but I’m not a human... hehe. ]

As soon as Xiao Huanzhi showed up from afar, the system started to frantically remind Zhu Baishao.

Zhu Baishao thought about the news she had heard about Xiao Huanzhi in recent years and felt that the time was just right. If Xiao Huanzhi didn't come, she was ready to take the little guy back to the imperial city.

As a mother, you naturally want the best for your children.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Huanzhi came over by herself, and she asked the system to help a little.

Otherwise, the kite wouldn't have happened to fly into Xiao Huanzhi's arms.

All I can say is that all unexpected encounters were long-planned.

"Mother, Aunt Bitao brought back a lot of people."

Xiao Siyan, who was in Zhu Baishao's arms, looked over her shoulder and just happened to see Xiao Huan and his group of people coming on horseback.
