The male protagonist has no descendants! Don't worry, the host is pregnant with many children

Maybe the house was too small, and someone forced their way in, so the two little ones protested quite loudly.

Lu Zhihuan felt her stomach tightening. Qi Yan stopped and watched her belly moving. He asked worriedly, "Does it hurt when they move so much?"

"It doesn't hurt, but it's a little uncomfortable, and my stomach feels tight from time to time."

After tossing and turning for a while, someone fell asleep heartlessly, leaving him alone to calm down for a while.

"You heartless little thing! Wait until you give birth to a child and see how I'll deal with you." Qi Yan nodded her little head helplessly.

As the months went by, my belly became frighteningly large at seven months because of the twins.

The weather was getting colder and colder, and the clothes were getting thicker and thicker. It was snowing outside. She leaned against the window and secretly opened it a little. Just as a trace of cool air blew in, Yingyue quickly closed it.

Qi Yan went to the Empress Dowager's palace. The Empress Dowager had been feeling unwell these days, probably catching a cold. Lu Zhihuan asked Qi Yan to take the pills she had made to the Empress Dowager, and the concern in her words did not seem fake.

She said let bygones be bygones!

The Queen Mother hadn't had a good time these past few months, and she'd told her to take care of herself, as she still had to take care of her grandchildren. The Queen Mother was always so depressed, which was not good for her health. She wasn't someone who didn't understand. Qi Yan didn't say it, but she was always worried about it in her heart, so she had to know when to stop.

...Zhongcui Palace

The Queen Mother leaned on the couch, occasionally coughing.

Qi Yan took out a box containing several bottles of medicine. "These are pills made by Concubine Zhao herself. Director Liu praised them for being good. There are pills for colds, coughs, and fevers. She's too heavy to come here, so she might as well come see you in person. There are some things she's already let go of, so please don't torture yourself with them."

He knew that Zhizhi chose to forgive him because she was afraid of putting him in a difficult position. After all, they were both his closest relatives.

The Queen Mother coughed heavily twice, covered her mouth and nose with a handkerchief, and then said, "You should also stay away from me. Don't let the disease spread to Concubine Zhao when you go back, which would be bad."

"I know, don't worry. You also know that she is pregnant with twins. As the royal grandmother, you must take good care of yourself. Don't you want to see your grandchildren?"

The Empress Dowager's eyes were a little red, and Aunt Xiuzhi's eyes were also filled with tears as she brought water and medicine to the Empress Dowager.

The Empress Dowager had been sincerely fasting and chanting Buddhist scriptures for so long, praying for Concubine Zhao and her unborn child. Seeing this, she felt incredibly distressed and secretly blamed Concubine Zhao for being too naive.

Fortunately, now the hardship has ended and the happiness has finally come! No matter whether Concubine Zhao gave birth to a little prince or a little princess? As long as the baby is born safely, the Queen Mother will be relieved.

When Qi Yan returned to Yongle Palace, he saw a figure under the eaves from afar. The figure was round and chubby, wearing a rose-red brocade cloak. The cloak was surrounded by a circle of white fur, adding a touch of warmth and softness to her.

The air is cool, but the plum blossoms in the distance are blooming in the wind. The bright red petals on the trees are even more gorgeous and eye-catching against the white snow on the trees. The faint fragrance of flowers floats in the air, which is refreshing.

He walked over from the other end of the corridor, raised his hand to touch her red face which was frozen: "How long have you been out? Your little nose is frozen red." He held her little hand in his big palm and breathed on it.

He personally supervised almost all matters concerning her, including the palace maids and arrangements.

Lu Zhihuan smiled with curved eyebrows. She stood on tiptoe and gently kissed him on the face. She hugged his neck and sighed: "You are so kind, why did you let me get away with it?"

Qi Yan was worried that she was too tired, so he gently supported her body with one hand and held her hand tightly with the other. Hearing her say this, Qi Yan quickly shook his head and retorted, "I am so lucky to have met you, Zhizhi. If it weren't for you, who knows where I would be today?" His eyes were full of affection and doting, as if he wanted to engrave the person in front of him in his heart forever.

He placed a kiss on her forehead and asked, "Can Zhizhi come in now?"

Lu Zhihuan nodded obediently and let him lead her into the hall. He reached out to take off her cloak and smoothed her messy hair.

Lu Zhihuan felt his meticulous care, "If I have a daughter in the future, is it better for her or for me?" she asked innocently.

Qi Yan pondered how to start. This life-threatening question was asked every day, and he had to answer it. "Then, if you don't know, how about calling Father first?"

What did he think of? He asked in return: "What does Zhizhi want me to do?"

Lu Zhihuan raised his eyebrows, this bastard has learned his lesson!

"What's wrong with being a little biased? No heart has a center." She said with a pout.

Qi Yan understood, "My heart has always been on Zhizhi's side."

"That's pretty much it."

……

Qi Yan had disbanded the harem, and this was exactly what he had mentioned when he summoned Concubine Gao De and Concubine Jing to the Imperial Study a few months ago. The Empress Dowager had not objected.

Concubines who had never slept with the emperor were banished from the palace and allowed to marry freely. Some were welcomed by their families and happily returned home. Some were not, but that didn't matter either. Many generals and lieutenants in the army were single, and when they reached the right age, they were granted marriage, and all were given wives, and they were all very happy.

Another person also left the palace and returned home: Concubine Ling, Qi Yan's cousin, Qi Lingling. Lu Zhihuan once joked that she should just be called Ling Ling Qi.

Qi Yan still conferred the title of Princess Yuan'an on her. It was said that she wasn't unhappy at all when she left, but rather happy. Perhaps she'd been cooped up in the palace for too long; the Empress Dowager hadn't had an appetite for days. It was only after Qi Yan persuaded her to come to the capital with her uncle's family some time later that the Empress Dowager felt better.

For the concubines who had served in the emperor's bed and were willing to leave the palace, Qi Yan would arrange new identities for them and allow them to marry freely. Those who did not want to leave the palace would serve as female officials in the palace and would no longer have the title of concubine.

When Qi Yan announced this matter in the court, it naturally shocked the court.

Those who did not object were the Grand Tutor and the General of Cavalry.

This made Qi Yan's meeting go much more smoothly. Gao Jin, the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet and the father of Concubine Gao De, did not express any opinions, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.

Gao Xuan knew that his father would be disappointed. They only cared about the family's reputation and hopes. They were not too ambitious and could take power but could not let it go.

There is no room for anyone between His Majesty and Concubine Zhao. Fortunately, Gao Xuan has her own ideas. She accidentally heard Lu Zhihuan mention setting up a girls' school, which made her interested and she thought about her own place to go.

But Concubine Jing was thinking that she had learned a lot of skills but could only live in the backyard. Her nascent ambition emerged and she wanted to go out and explore the land of the Great Qi Kingdom.

Meipin, Yupin, and Wanpin, even though they were arrogant and looked down on others, were frightened by Qi Yan. His Majesty's methods of torturing people were endless, so several of them chose to return home.

Not to mention returning home, even letting them become nuns would be fine!

Lu Zhihuan didn’t know so much, and 996 never told her. She only heard about it several days later.

She was so moved that she "thanked" Qi Yan very much, which made him so happy that he was bubbling with joy.
