"Is Concubine De pregnant with a prince?"

Jiang Li said happily, "Your Majesty, why didn't you tell me earlier? I could have prepared a gift!"

Yin Jiu glanced at her and thought, what does the emperor think of you? He has a child with a concubine in the harem. Will he happily tell you?

When we arrived at Ci'an Palace, we saw the three concubines, Zhang Wanwan, Cui Jin and Lu Meiyi, sitting next to Empress Dowager Zhang and chatting.

Cui Jin's abdomen was bulging and he had gained some weight, his face was round and plump, and he looked very well-nourished.

Jiang Li greeted them one by one, and finally said with a smile: "Congratulations to the Queen Mother, congratulations to the Queen Mother, and congratulations to the Virtuous Consort. The emperor has a son, and the Chu Kingdom has a successor. Congratulations!"

"Look at this little mouth, it really knows how to talk."

Empress Dowager Zhang laughed and said, "I was just talking about you. Speak of Cao Cao and he will appear."

Zhang Wanwan felt a little uncomfortable when Jiang Li congratulated her, but she also let it go. She was already a queen of a country, so why should she get caught up in the palace struggle for favor?

Isn't it good to be free and happy like Jiang Li?

She now has a girls' academy. If the girls who graduate from the academy can give full play to their strengths and serve the Great Chu, she will have made a great contribution to future generations!

Zhang Wanwan pulled Jiang Li to her side and said with a smile, "Come, let the Queen Mother see, has our Marquis Jing'an gained weight or lost weight?"

Cui Jin stretched out his hand and pinched her face, saying with a smile: "You seem to have gained some weight."

I just felt that her face was soft and smooth, and it felt great. I couldn't help but touch it twice, "It's so soft and tender, and it feels so good."

Hearing this, Zhang Wanwan also touched Jiang Li's face and said with a smile, "Sure enough, your skin is as white as cream."

Jiang Li didn't dare to move, for fear of touching Cui Jin's belly, so she had to keep a stiff face and let the two of them touch her.

Lu Meiyi stared at Jiang Li with her round almond-shaped eyes, looking at her curiously.

She had always heard that she looked somewhat like her, and therefore the emperor favored her.

Now that I have seen her in person up close, even though the Marquis of Jing'an is wearing official uniform, she is still extremely beautiful and radiant. How can I compare to her? No wonder the emperor is obsessed with her.

Empress Dowager Zhang smiled and said, "Okay, stop teasing her. Let Marquis Jing'an tell us what he saw and heard along the way. I am really curious."

Jiang Li could only recount in detail how they went north to Mongolia, captured the tenth prince, went south to southern Xinjiang, and bravely entered the Mihun Pond.

Of course, the confidential matters cannot be told to them.

All the ladies could hear were their hearts beating fast and they couldn't help but exclaim in shock when they heard how dangerous the Mihun Pond was.

Cui Jin was even more fascinated. She only regretted that she did not learn martial arts well when she was in the boudoir. She could not enjoy the world of martial arts like Jiang Li, roam freely in the mountains and rivers, and explore various unknown secrets!

Zhang Wanwan smiled and said, "Tell us more about the chivalrous beggar Chang Aotian. Was there really such a hero in the previous dynasty?"

Cui Jin covered his mouth and laughed: "She probably made it up."

She read a lot of books but never saw any record about this hero Chang.

Jiang Li smiled and said, "The Virtuous Concubine is very observant. It is indeed my fabrication."

Empress Dowager Zhang asked curiously, "Why did you invent such a character?"

Jiang Li then took the order from Mongolia to Anmen, intending to kidnap her. In order to split Anmen and recruit the Beggars' Gang for her own use, she invented the character Chang Aotian and successfully separated the Beggars' Gang from Anmen.

The Lotus Tower and the Peony Tower were also established to tie the younger generation of disciples of the Beggars' Sect and the Jianghu together firmly on the Dragon Gate ship, making them serve the emperor and the Great Chu.

"Wonderful, really wonderful!"

Empress Dowager Zhang clapped her hands and cheered, and Zhang Wanwan and the other three were also very impressed.

Jiang Li just made up a story and successfully divided the secret door and recruited the younger generation of disciples from the Beggars' Sect and the martial arts world for his own use. This move of cutting off the source of the problem was really powerful!

No wonder the emperor relies on her so much. She is worthy of being the emperor's number one adviser.

At this time, Nanny He, who was beside Empress Dowager Zhang, came in and whispered a few words in the Empress Dowager's ear.

Empress Dowager Zhang looked at Jiang Li and smiled: "No wonder they congratulated us as soon as we entered the house. It turns out that Marquis Jing'an is also about to get married."

Jiang Li blushed.

Zhang Wanwan was startled, then she understood: "Are you getting married?"

Nanny He smiled and said, "The emperor has just issued an order, ordering the Ministry of Rites to prepare the Marquis' wedding according to the standards for the princess. The Marquis is very happy!"

Jiang Li blushed: "Your Majesty sympathizes with his subjects and is afraid that a war in southern Xinjiang will delay my marriage with Mr. Xie, so he specially allows us to get married as soon as possible."

Cui Jin lost his voice and asked, "Are you going to Southern Xinjiang again?"

Jiang Li said solemnly, "If a war breaks out in Southern Xinjiang, Lord Xie and I will definitely go to the battlefield. Not only us, but also Doctor Shen, Doctor Mo, and colleagues from Longmen Medical Bureau and Longmen Tiangong will go together."

Zhang Wanwan and the others were silent, full of admiration in their hearts.

Empress Dowager Zhang said with a smile: "Marquis Jing'an's family cannot take care of this wedding for her, so let's hand it over to the Queen. She must make sure it is done in a grand manner."

Who in the capital doesn't know that Marquis Jing'an has a father like Minister Jiang and a grandmother like Old Madam Jiang?

How could the Jiang family, who had become impoverished, arrange a good marriage for her?

It's good enough if you don't take advantage of the opportunity.

The Queen came forward to show the royal family's importance to Marquis Jing'an, and it was also a reward for her and Xie Chang'an.

Zhang Wanwan said happily: "Okay, let's leave this matter to my daughter-in-law. I will make sure that Marquis Jing'an gets married in style!"

Jiang Li was both amused and confused. After a few words, they decided on their own to become her family members.

She had no choice but to kneel down and said, "Thank you, Queen Mother, for your grace, and thank you, Queen Mother, for your kindness!"

After coming out of the Queen Mother's Palace, Cui Jin asked Jiang Li to send her back to the palace.

"The imperial physician told me to walk more, which is good for childbirth. Lord Marquis, please walk with me."

Seeing that she had difficulty moving and fearing that something might happen to her, Jiang Li supported her all the way.

Cui Jin said gratefully: "If it weren't for you on the day when the Qi King's palace coup took place, I would not have been able to keep the baby in my belly!"

Jiang Li was surprised: "The queen was already pregnant at that time?"

She couldn't help but feel a little scared. That day, she was holding Cui Jin and climbing over the eaves and walls. If she got pregnant, she would be committing a serious sin!

Cui Jin said: "It was still early then, I was not sure, and I did not summon the imperial physician."

"Anyway, thanks to you, the emperor's son was saved."

Cui Jin smiled and said, "Would you like to be his godmother in the future?"

Ask her to be the godmother of the eldest prince? She dare not!

Jiang Li was ashamed: "Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty. I dare not do that! If the emperor knew, he would beat me to death!"

Cui Jin glanced at her and said, "If His Majesty knew about this, he would be delighted."

After she said that, Jiang Li was even more afraid and refused again and again: "Absolutely not!"

Cui Jin said sincerely: "If you don't have any children in the future, I will let the eldest prince take care of you."

Everyone in the palace knew that Xie Changan was a "natural eunuch" and Jiang Li would definitely not have any descendants.

The eldest prince acknowledges her as his godmother. If he could learn all her skills, wouldn't that be the best of both worlds?

Jiang Li felt guilty, but Xie Changan didn't. If they had a child in the future, would others think that she was cheating on Xie Changan?
