The Queen sealed her heart and locked up her love, and the Emperor was trapped in the crematorium

"What if I can't give birth to a princess, or a dragon? Is it destined that I will be childless and have little luck..."

Xie Yaoqing frowned slightly, her beautiful eyes drooped slightly, and a light sigh escaped from her red lips, her words filled with deep loneliness and melancholy.

Upon seeing this, Xiao Chengxu felt a pain in his heart and subconsciously clenched his palms. An imperceptible dark color flashed across the depths of his eyes, but it disappeared in an instant.

He stretched out his arm and gently placed it on Xie Yaoqing's delicate shoulders, and said in a gentle and soothing tone: "Don't worry too much, you can't force a child. As long as we are in love and harmony, the child will be born in time. Qingqing, don't let your imagination run wild, just let everything take its course."

If it was Xie Yaoqing from her previous life, she would have been moved to tears after hearing these words. After all, it is rare to have a husband who is not in a hurry to have children, is considerate and can guide her to relax. What's more, these words came from the mouth of a king. How could she not be moved?

However, at this moment, Xie Yaoqing fell into deep thought. She began to try to recall whether Xiao Chengxu in her previous life had ever expressed his wish to have a daughter like he did today.

Maybe there is.

But the memory has become blurry.

After all, compared to the prince, the legitimate son of the empress, a princess, even a legitimate princess, will eventually get married when she grows up, leave the palace, and become someone else's daughter-in-law. The Yongchang Marquis's Mansion will not support a princess who has already married to pursue great undertakings, and the same is true for other people who bet on their positions. Their eyes will never stay on the princess, because the threat of the princess to the imperial power is almost negligible. Having a princess will not cause much impact, and you only need to be a little nice to the princess, give her a title, etc., to show your fatherly heart.

But even if there was, it would be difficult for her to have children, considering her body had been damaged by the tiger and wolf medicine in her previous life. Besides, who could say for sure whether she would have a son or a daughter? If she gave birth to a prince...

Since she had been taking the pregnancy-maintaining medicine for many years without stopping, it was obvious that Xiao Chengxu did not want her to have a child, whether it was a boy or a girl.

Xie Yaoqing secretly thought that Xiao Chengxu was just talking verbally, maybe he was in a spur of the moment and thought it would be nice to have a princess to take care of him.

Considering the fact that Prince Ming went to the palace to meet the emperor during the day, it was not surprising that Xie Yaoqing thought so. It was completely reasonable. I heard that Prince Ming and his wife had been traveling for three years and had a baby girl when they came back. It was probably because they were influenced by Prince Ming.

"If I have a disease, I will never have children..."

Before Xie Yaoqing could finish her words, she was interrupted by Xiao Chengxu.

"Then choose the best one among the royal family members and make him our child."

Xiao Chengxu's tone was extremely serious and earnest, and the solemnity contained in it could not be ignored.

Xie Yaoqing couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

She said this deliberately to test him.

Da Ying might be able to accept the existence of a queen who has never given birth. However, for the emperor, there must be no one to succeed him. Considering the issue of the inheritance of the future throne, the ministers of the previous dynasty will definitely go all out and try every means to persuade Xiao Chengxu to favor other concubines in the harem. Especially those families who sent their daughters to the palace are even more ambitious. Because everyone wants the next emperor to have the blood of their family flowing in his body. Once the new emperor ascends the throne, then this family will become an extremely glorious foreign relative family. If an emperor appears, the rise and fall, honor and disgrace of the entire family will be completely changed.

Xie Yaoqing felt that it was because she died early in her previous life. Otherwise, if she had endured a few years in the cold palace, she would have known which concubine was the most competitive and gave birth to the emperor's eldest son, or whether the biggest winner was still Concubine Qi, who gave birth to the eldest son.

In the previous life, there was a pregnant concubine in the palace. It should have been a great happy event, but it was not the case, because the fetus in the concubine's belly had nothing to do with Xiao Chengxu. It was the "bad seed" conceived by the concubine and the guards. It was the ironclad evidence of the chaos in the palace. The concubine had ulterior motives and tried to use Xiao Chengxu to cover up the unbearable truth, so that the child in her belly could be born legitimately and enjoy the honor of a prince or princess as soon as it was born.

However, her plot was eventually exposed. Not only did she fail to achieve her goal, but her beloved guard and her unborn child were buried with her.

Perhaps knowing that his tone was too serious and solemn, Xiao Chengxu softened his tone and said slowly: "We can't force God's will. If God doesn't have mercy on us and give us a child, there is always a way."

Xie Yaoqing nodded without comment.

Of course there are ways, but isn't it a foregone conclusion that she can't have children? Her reputation will only get worse.

It is no wonder that a childless and jealous queen would be hated by God and even be wrathful to him. Whether it was drought, locust plague, or any other natural or man-made disaster, they were all blamed on her. It was because she was not worthy of her position that so many disasters occurred, causing countless people in Daying to be displaced and live in dire straits.

It's in vain that many court officials are well-read and knowledgeable, but they have not worked out a good way to govern the country and save the people. Instead, they use women as an excuse, just like the reason why a king's country was destroyed and his family was ruined must be because he was bewitched by a certain evil concubine who brought disaster to the country.

Xiao Chengxu thought Xie Yaoqing had let it go, but in fact, Xie Yaoqing became more determined to have children.

It seems that they have reached a consensus, but in fact, each of them has his own thoughts, and neither of them knows what the other is thinking.

It was dawn the next day.

Xie Yaoqing slept until noon before waking up.

Originally, she was supposed to help Xiao Chengxu get dressed, but Xie Yaoqing really couldn't wake up at that time. However, they made too much noise last night, and Xie Yaoqing thought that the battle was called off. Unexpectedly, Xiao Chengxu became interested again and pulled Xie Yaoqing to join him in the fun. They made love in Wushan Mountain and swam into the sea like a fish, and they played for more than half an hour.

Xie Yaoqing was completely physically and mentally exhausted. In the end, she almost closed her eyes and didn't care about anything. She fell asleep directly. She didn't care whether the man who was still sweating and working hard was satisfied or not. If she hadn't been thinking about having a baby, Xie Yaoqing wanted to kick the man under the bed for a moment.

Looking at the densely packed red marks on Xie Yaoqing's long and graceful neck, Jue Xia couldn't help but say while dressing Xie Yaoqing: "Why doesn't the emperor take care of the queen? How can the queen face others?"

Summer clothes are mostly light and breathable, not as thick as those in winter. Jue Xia racked his brains to cover up the ambiguous traces on his master's body that should not be seen by outsiders.

Xie Yaoqing didn't care. "It doesn't matter. Just cover as much as you can."

Since it was not the day for the concubines to pay their respects, and there was no empress dowager in the palace for the time being, Xie Yaoqing did not have to leave Kunning Palace at all, and did not need to meet any outsiders, so naturally there were not many inconveniences.

Having said that, Juexia did not act carelessly or perfunctorily.
