Quick Wear: If I Had Regret Medicine

Chapter 62: Cannon Fodder in the Question of Having a Child 10

In the blink of an eye, three months had passed and spring had returned. In the past, young men and women loved to hold banquets at this time of year, but this year was special and no one was holding a banquet.

Even during the New Year, it was very quiet because the emperor would punish a few people from time to time.

Inside the palace, the pregnant concubines are about to give birth. There are a total of thirty-seven pregnant women in the palace now.

When this number spread, many people were privately discussing what kind of medicine the emperor had taken to make so many people pregnant.

I heard that some people even asked the emperor in a subtle way, asking him what tricks or magic elixirs he had.

There were quite a few people asking questions, even officials in their forties or fifties, which made the emperor subconsciously want to run away when he saw these people.

On Xuanhe's side, she was perfunctory every day to persuade Princess Zhaohe to choose a husband for herself.

She has already chosen a way out for herself, which is to become a teacher for the emperor's children.

Anyway, it's just a matter of taking a pill, so there's no need to worry about this problem at all.

Originally Xuanhe thought it was okay to get married here as the Gu family had a good tradition. However, Second Uncle Gu also had a concubine, although she didn't often appear in front of everyone.

In this era, it was normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines, and concubines were not treated as human beings, but even as objects.

Xuanhe suddenly didn't want to get married anymore, and she also didn't want to start a big business like cement hotpot.

But I want to be a teacher in the palace.

That night, the system gave the emperor a dream. In the dream, he had more than forty children in total, but each child had a different personality. When the children were born, they looked exactly like him, which made the emperor's doubts disappear.

But after these children turned a few years old, they became extremely maddening. Even the emperor and the empress dowager, who loved children the most, became overwhelmed and wanted to run away when they saw these children every day.

In the dream, the emperor was overwhelmed by their millions of whys every day, and sometimes they called him "father". If he was not careful, a fight would break out, and the people being beaten would cry together with the children they beat, and the emperor was awakened from his dream in fright.

The emperor, who had just woken up from a dream, thought about what he had found out during this period. After those concubines became pregnant, the emperor dared not believe it until the children were born.

It’s not that he has no confidence in himself, but because his father and ancestors never had more than three children.

He didn't want to believe that he had such good luck, so he planned to wait until the child was born to see if it was his own.

During this period, various channels were used to check whether these pregnant concubines had any contact with outsiders. After several months of investigation, no one was found to have had any contact with outsiders. It was understandable that the palace guards made it very difficult for others to enter, let alone make so many concubines pregnant.

Each of the children in the dream just now looked very much like him.

So after dispelling the last trace of doubt in his heart, the emperor thought about the things he had encountered in his dream.

It is not good to have too many children at once, and there is basically only a few days difference in their ages, so the emperor plans to find teachers for them from now on, and ask the teachers if there are any problems later.

And there is one person, Gu Xuan, who is suitable in every aspect.

The first point is that he heard that Gu Xuanhe was very popular among children wherever he went during this period. Those children even put their own parents aside after seeing Gu Xuanhe.

After observing for a period of time, the emperor found that Gu Xuanhe had decent character and knowledge.

When the child was about to be born, the empress dowager directly summoned Xuanhe into the palace.

When Xuanhe received the Empress Dowager's edict, he knew that the plan had been successful.

The original owner of the palace had come in many times. Looking at the majestic palace, she sighed as she walked towards the Queen Mother's palace.

On the way, Xuanhe met a person with a big belly. When Xuanhe saw this person, he knew that she was Zhang Yunv. According to Xuanhe's identity, he only needed to nod to someone of her status. The nanny who was accompanying him in front of him also just nodded slightly.

Xuanhe walked straight past Zhang Yu's daughter Zhang Xin, not expecting that this person was not dead yet.

It seems that the concubines in the palace are not cruel. However, looking at Xuanhe and Zhang Xin's current appearance, with a huge belly on their thin bodies, the imperial physician has already found out that Zhang Xin is pregnant with twins.

However, neither the Empress Dowager nor the Emperor made any comment because of what Zhang Yuan had done.

Now Zhang Xin is as thin as a stick and his belly is frighteningly big.

Zhang Xin looked at Gu Xuanhe who had just walked past her. She could no longer suppress the hatred towards her in her heart. Her whole family was harmed by Gu Xuanhe and she came to see Gu Xuanhe on purpose today.

and……

As soon as Xuan He walked past her, Zhang Xin said to the system, "System, start!"

Then Zhang Xin felt his stomach hurt. "Someone, my stomach hurts. Something from that woman's body hit me. Go get the doctor. My stomach hurts."

When the people around Zhang Xin heard her cry, they instantly panicked and wanted to help Zhang Xin up who was sitting on the ground. However, one person was too weak to do anything.

Xuanhe, who was walking in front, also heard the voice and turned back, and saw a flash of viciousness in Zhang Xin's eyes.

This woman actually framed her, but before Xuanhe could say anything, she saw several palace maids suddenly coming out from the side and taking Zhang Xin away directly.

Zhang Xin was also unwilling to leave. "Let me go. Why didn't you arrest this woman who framed me? Where are you taking me? Let me go!"

Xuanhe was still not able to react when he saw this situation. There was nothing left on the ground except a pool of blood.

If it weren't for this pool of blood, Xuanhe would have suspected that nothing had happened here just now.

The nanny leading the way didn't say anything, but just made a gesture and continued walking forward with Xuanhe.

It would be best if there were no trouble. Otherwise, you would have to prove that you did not frame the concubines, and then you might get yourself into trouble.

When they arrived at the Empress Dowager's palace, someone went in to report, and soon Xuanhe was brought in.

"Greetings, Queen Dowager. Good night!" Xuanhe bowed politely.

"Get up and come see me! Oh, what a blessed girl you are." The Queen Mother fell in love with Xuanhe the first time she saw her.

Familiarity is a very strange thing. She had been praying in the royal temple before and had never seen her before.

Xuanhe looked at the old man in front of him. He was very kind, just like any other old man.

As they chatted, the Queen Mother brought up the fact that Xuanhe liked children.

"Does Suisui like children?" The Queen Mother looked into Xuanhe's eyes, and after a while, she called Xuanhe Suisui affectionately.

This is Xuanhe’s nickname that I just asked about.

"Your Majesty, I love children and feel very relaxed when I am with them."

Xuanhe answered cautiously, sitting on the chair and answering the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother nodded, quickly changed the subject, and brought a lot of delicious food to Xuanhe.

After Xuanhe returned home, he brought back the gifts of several horses given by the empress dowager.

In the imperial palace, the empress dowager has already discussed with the emperor that when the children are born, they will all be handed over to Xuanhe to raise.

However, Xuanhe just needed to take them to play. Each of these children would have four or five palace maids. It would be enough as long as Xuanhe could answer their hundreds of thousands of questions.

No, it simply means playing with these kids.

The emperor and the empress dowager had no intention of asking concubines to raise the children at that time. It was not that they were cruel. But if they did not teach the children well when they were young, it would be too late to teach them again when they grew up.

When they were young, Xuanhe would just go over to see them every day and start raising them from the time they could talk. If they were not suitable by then, he would replace them with someone else.

It is equivalent to getting married, Xuanhe is still willing to take care of the children, and these children will have a sense of familiarity with her. After all, they are children born by taking her own elixir, so Xuanhe is not worried about this at all.

Princess Zhaohe was going to the palace to see the child when Xuanhe arrived. She couldn't control the surprise on her face. "It will be very tiring to take care of the child. Tell me the truth. Did you come up with this idea because I urged you to get married?"

Under the gaze of Princess Zhaohe, Xuanhe could only tell her his most honest thoughts, "Mom, after getting married, you have to swallow all the grievances you suffer. But if I don't get married, it would be best for me to accompany the prince and princess."

Princess Zhaohe thought about the years since she married into the Gu family. Even though she was a princess, she often had to consider her husband's mood and take care of others. To be honest, it was very tiring.

In this age where the husband is the god, what the husband says is the imperial decree. Many times, even if one feels aggrieved, there is no one to express it to.

The Gu family's financial situation was pretty good, with no messy concubines. Over the years, she had taught Xuanhe a lot about how to manage the harem.

Even though she hoped that she could protect herself one day, it would be quite good if she didn't get married. The Gu family doted on this daughter almost to the sky. Even if she and her husband were gone by then, she still had several brothers.

Moreover, the daughters-in-law are honest people, not the kind who cannot tolerate the presence of their sister-in-law.

"Since you have made up your mind, I respect your opinion. But you will have to face a lot of rumors at that time."

What's there to be afraid of rumors? Xuanhe was a fan in her previous life. She would cry when she saw those insults at first, but in the end she was completely desensitized to them and sometimes she even found them funny.

A month later, eleven children were born in the harem. Many people now envied the emperor.

The emperor was also very happy when he attended the morning court every day. He could finally vent his anger. You know, he used to give gifts to these ministers himself, but now it was finally their turn to give him gifts.

When these children were one year old, Xuanhe was summoned into the palace by the empress dowager's decree. Many people thought that Xuanhe entered the palace to be a concubine, but the empress dowager's decree said that she entered the palace to be a playmate for these princes and princesses.

The concubines were full of hostility towards Xuanhe, but the empress dowager directly found a palace for Xuanhe, where the princes and princesses would stay during the day.

It was not until the age of five that one could go to the study room to study.

Xuanhe goes out early and comes back late every day. The system has gone to play somewhere else, and now Xuanhe is the only one left.

However, she would come back once after playing with the system for a few days, and then serve as Xuanhe's maid.

The Empress Dowager and other concubines came to see the children every day, but due to the Emperor's order, the children had to stay here.

Xuanhe started teaching them some things when they were eight months old.

What he taught them were all things Xuanhe took out from the system, and they were all taught according to the book.

When they were one year old, these children were smarter than ordinary children. The emperor and the empress dowager thought it was the credit of Xuanhe.

Xuanhe looked humble, but she agreed in her heart. She gave these children an intelligence pill, so these children behaved smarter than others.

However, with so many children, even with so many palace maids taking care of them, Xuanhe was exhausted. It felt like there were dozens of ducks quacking beside her ears.

After these children could understand what he said, Xuanhe began to tell them various stories, telling them a different story from Journey to the West every day. The children loved it and looked forward to it every day.

So the older the children get, the more relaxed Xuanhe feels. But they are still children after all, and Xuanhe has to judge cases every day. He would just judge a case for them and start playing with them again the next moment.

Until these children were five years old, the empress dowager and the emperor looked at the lively and intelligent children, and also tested their knowledge. They found that each of them knew a lot, had different personalities, and almost every child had something he or she was good at.

Each child has a good personality. Over the years, Xuanhe still lives in the Gu Mansion, but because of her contribution to teaching these children, Xuanhe was conferred the title of Princess.

Large amounts of rewards were often sent to the mansion. The princes and princesses were smart and clever, and were taught very well by Xuanhe. Many officials even wanted to send their own children here.

Xuanhe naturally would not agree. She wanted to find a job for herself, but she didn't want to be a nanny. In order not to get married, she had also put in a lot of effort.

And the most important thing is that when the system was traveling around, it sent back a lot of images to Xuanhe, and the lives of these people were really too hard.

In many remote places, even having enough food is a problem, so Xuanhe actually wanted to change these people. As long as the rulers are capable, they will treat these people better.

Xuanhe instilled in these children the idea of ​​​​actual life of ordinary people from an early age, and would take them to see it.

More than ten years later, the empress dowager had passed away and the emperor was old. He had worked hard for the dynasty over the years and was already ill.

However, because there was someone to succeed him, the emperor distributed all his power and gradually handed over all matters of the court to the prince.

Now, the people live much better than they did decades ago. After the prince ascended the throne, Xuanhe went out to play with the system until he died of natural causes and left this world.
