Quick Wear: The Crazy Lord God is again training the sweet host

At this time, Xing Chen was soaking his hands in the milk on the table.

His hands were very rough, with many calluses on the palms. He had been soaking them in milk these days. After they softened, he slowly grinded off the old calluses and then applied special ointment to his hands.

My hands are much softer now.

When he saw the woman, he was so shocked that he suddenly took his hand out of the milk, and the white milk spilled all over the floor.

Caiyun bowed respectfully to the woman, then hurriedly turned around to wipe Xingchen's hands clean.

The moment the woman saw Xing Chen, she also stopped abruptly.

She should be used to hiding her emotions and not showing too much expression in front of others.

Even so, it's hard not to have tears in my eyes.

Xing Chen looked at her extraordinary temperament and the noble aura around her, and somehow, he suddenly thought of the Queen Mother Zhao described by Yuan Yuanyuan.

Xing Chen lowered his head, pretending not to dare look her in the face, and looked uneasy.

The woman walked up to him step by step and gently held his face.

"Xingxing, Wanniang named you Xingxing, right? You made our mother look for you for a long time!"

Wanniang is Lin Xingchen's mother.

Mother?

Is she really Queen Mother Zhao?

What the hell!

Does this mean that I will become a mortal enemy of Wen Luo?

Hahaha, I’m really looking forward to what he will look like in front of me!

Xing Chen laughed in his heart, but at the same time he looked at the woman with wide eyes in confusion, as if he didn't understand what she was saying.

Queen Mother Zhao hugged him gently, her voice full of apology.

"I'm sorry. It was because my mother was incompetent that she couldn't protect you and your brother, so she resorted to this desperate measure and had someone send you out of the palace to escape."

In the dim room, there was only a spark burning on the candlestick, leaving a round circle of light on the ground.

Queen Mother Zhao held Xing Chen's hand and slowly told him what happened that year.

Only then did Xing Chen realize that the rumors among the people were not all false.

There were indeed two children born that year, but the other one was not strangled to death but sent away.

After the late emperor ascended the throne, he held beauty contests for three consecutive years.

As the harem grew larger, it also began to become increasingly restless.

The queen at that time was not Queen Dowager Zhao, but Queen Jingshu who was canonized after the previous emperor ascended the throne.

Empress Jingshu gave birth to a son when she was the Crown Princess, who was the late emperor's eldest son, Xiao Xian.

As the eldest son, he was named Crown Prince at the age of ten.

Since the first year of the late emperor's beauty contest, Empress Jingshu has been keeping her eyes on the pregnant women in the harem.

In order to ensure that their sons will have no problems in succeeding to the throne in the future, it is naturally best for some of the beautiful ladies in the harem who come from noble families to have no children.

Queen Jingshu was devoted to her son. After Xiao Xian, only two sons and two daughters were born in the harem. Their mothers were of low status and their families were not prominent.

The current emperor is the third son of the late emperor, Xiao Shen.

Xiao Shen's birth was extremely difficult.

Before the late emperor went to war in person, he summoned Empress Dowager Zhao, who was only a concubine, to sleep with him. One month after the late emperor left, Concubine Zhao found that she was unwell and showed signs of pregnancy.

In all these years in the harem, under the care of Queen Jingshu, few children were born safely.

Although Concubine Zhao's family was not of high rank, her brother and father still had some real power in the Northern Frontier Army. They were just waiting for the time to demonstrate their achievements with military merits and then climb up step by step.

Concubine Zhao was beautiful and attracted the attention of the late emperor from the moment she entered the palace.

Among the many beauties in the harem, she was able to surpass everyone with her beauty.

But she was smart and reserved. She knew from the beginning that survival in the harem was not easy, so she restrained herself and never acted in a domineering manner.

She is the most beautiful, but has the gentlest personality, as soft as a little white rabbit that can be manipulated by anyone.

Others look beautiful but soulless.

Because of her beauty, she was the first among the group of concubines to be summoned to sleep with the emperor.

Because she had no soul, she was the one who fell out of favor the fastest among that group of people.

Queen Jingshu, who had been wary of her because of her appearance, soon turned her eyes away from her with disdain.

But almost no one realized that although Concubine Zhao was not favored continuously later, the late emperor had a long-lasting affection for her.

I would always go to visit her every month or two just to see her appearance and refresh my eyes.

This bland way of showing affection neither attracts attention nor is completely ignored.

It can ensure that you will not be targeted by the Queen's Party, and you can also ensure that you will not be bullied by those villains who climb up the social ladder and look down on the weak.

In fact, it requires great wisdom.

She found out that she might be pregnant. After a brief panic, she did not tell anyone else except her Aunt Sun.

When the emperor is away, the harem is the domain of Queen Jingshu. If the news of her pregnancy were to leak out, there would be no way that the child would be born.

Fortunately, the baby in her belly was also sensible. She did not have obvious morning sickness during pregnancy. She went to pay her respects to the queen every day and never had any accidents.

When the baby was more than two months pregnant, her belly began to show. Zhao Jieyu reduced her food intake in the hope of making the fetus smaller, and at the same time she wrapped her belly with a belly band.

It was not until the fetus was more than three months old and Concubine Zhao's belly was almost full of space that the late emperor finally returned.

While in the team welcoming the late emperor back to the palace, Concubine Zhao fainted in Aunt Sun's arms in public. The imperial physician checked and found that she was more than three months pregnant.

The harem was in an uproar, with whispers everywhere. Queen Jingshu then realized that this seemingly harmless little white rabbit was actually hiding so deeply.

The late emperor had escaped danger and returned safely, and it was natural that he was doubly happy to have encountered such a good thing.

Concubine Zhao asked the late emperor to exempt her from the daily greetings on the grounds of feeling unwell. She stayed in her palace every day and carefully took care of her pregnancy.

But how could Queen Jingshu let her go so easily?

After the late emperor was rescued from the battlefield, perhaps because he was frightened or something else, he suddenly began to believe in ghosts, gods and fate, and he vigorously expanded the Sitianjian.

Empress Jingshu bribed the imperial physician and concealed the fact that Concubine Zhao was pregnant with twins. She then teamed up with officials from the Imperial Observatory to deceive the emperor by saying that two evil stars were coming to the world to cause chaos in the court, and hinted that the evil stars were in Concubine Zhao's belly.

Soon, folk songs sung by children about the evil star and its misfortunes spread widely.

The late emperor still had doubts at first, but later he began to frequently ask the imperial physician to check Concubine Zhao's pulse and ask if she was pregnant with twins.

At this time, the god of luck favored Concubine Zhao again. Because of her long-term diet control and belly wrapping, her abdomen looked much smaller than that of normal twins.

Moreover, her pulse was disordered. Several waves of imperial doctors came and went, and their conclusions were different. Some said it was double, while others said single.

And no one dares to guarantee with his life that what he says is right.

At this point, the best way is to continue waiting. When the day comes that the baby is born, it will be clear whether it is an odd or even baby.

The not-so-long few months in between gave Concubine Zhao ample time to prepare.

She no longer stayed indoors, but took her aunt Sun to walk around the huge imperial garden every day with her big belly.

She did not hide or evade, and when she met other concubines she would deliberately speak harshly to them, making everyone stay away from her.

Xiao Shen was born suddenly in a remote corner of the rockery in the imperial garden. When the late emperor and the imperial physician on duty in Concubine Zhao's palace hurriedly arrived, Concubine Zhao was already leaning weakly on a stone and had given birth to the child.

Naturally, there was only one child left.
