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

The Empress Dowager sighed, "The Emperor is not young anymore, and I don't want to stare at Yan'er and favor the concubines like this, and simply annoy him."

Aunt Xiuzhi said quickly: "Your Majesty is a well-known filial son! He has always respected and comforted you, the Queen Mother, so how could he feel disgusted with you? Perhaps it is just that our destiny has not yet arrived." As she spoke, she gently patted the back of the Queen Mother's hand, trying to reassure her.

The Queen Mother straightened up slightly and sighed heavily.

"Forget it. If I don't worry about it, I'm afraid I won't have an heir. I know the emperor longs for an heir, too. First, he has to withstand the pressure of the court, and second, he certainly wants to enjoy having children around him, no matter if he's annoyed or disgusted. If I can get a result, even if it means losing my life, I'll gladly accept it."

Aunt Xiuzhi turned her head away silently, secretly wiping away the tears from the corners of her eyes: "Look at you, if the emperor heard this, wouldn't he feel even more guilty and uneasy?"

The Empress Dowager patted Aunt Xiuzhi's hand and said, "Prepare some food and have the Emperor come to my place for dinner tonight. I will try to persuade the Emperor again."

"Yes."

……

As the sun sets, its afterglow dyes half the sky red, and the world seems to be shrouded in a golden veil.

Aunt Xiuzhi came to the Qinzheng Palace and explained her purpose to Eunuch De, preparing to invite His Majesty to have a meal in the Empress Dowager's palace. Her words revealed the Empress Dowager's concern for the Emperor.

However, Eunuch De stopped her. He leaned forward slightly, stretched out his arms, and blocked Aunt Xiuzhi's way.

The smile on Aunt Xiuzhi's face froze instantly. She looked at Eunuch De in surprise, with confusion in her eyes. In the past, he always sided with the Empress Dowager and helped persuade the Emperor.

Eunuch De looked around before pulling Aunt Xiuzhi aside and lowering his voice, and then he talked about the emperor's troubled dream.

In short, the two of them whispered for a long time.

……

When the Queen Mother heard about this, she was overjoyed: "Did Eunuch De really say that?"

"Yes! His Majesty also said that he just couldn't see the woman's face clearly." Aunt Xiuzhi said with a slightly frown.

The Queen Mother pondered for a moment, then quickly stood up, not even eating, to go to the Buddhist temple to pray. "Perhaps this really is God's guidance. Xiuzhi! You're right. Perhaps this is what you call fate, and it's here now."

……

Lu Zhihuan and Hongyou have both made several bras and panties.

Hongyou also loved these small clothes very much and watched her beauty trying them on.

Her small round face was as red as a ripe apple. "You are amazing! This dress is so small, light, and pretty."

Lu Zhihuan pinched her cheeks amusedly and said, "When you have time, make a few for yourself so you can wear them comfortably."

"Well, thank you, my beauty." She continued to sew the pajamas she had altered. Summer was coming, and she couldn't wear long clothes and long pants. To be honest, in modern times she occasionally liked to sleep wrapped up. This was the benefit of living alone.

She looked at the several sets of small clothes in her hands. There were dark blue, dark red, pink and light yellow. She liked them all. She would make these first and then make more when she had more beautiful materials.

"Okay, beauty, take a look." Hongyou cut off the thread with scissors and unfolded the pajamas.

Lu Zhihuan tried it on and couldn't help but sigh: "This is real silk, soft, smooth, and so comfortable."

The multiple layers of fabric on the chest allow it to be worn as a V-neck halter dress, and she can’t put it down.

"Yes, our Hongyou has really skillful hands."

Hongyou's face flushed again at the compliment. She thought, just two pieces of cloth and two straps, what's the difficulty? But she didn't expect it to be so... She was embarrassed to look at it.

She thought her beauty was really beautiful: "This capital city is really a place for people to live. You have only been here for a few days, but you look more and more beautiful. His Majesty will definitely be fascinated by you when he sees you."

"You are so sweet-talking!" Lu Zhihuan said with a slight frown.

Charmed? She couldn't keep a low profile anymore, secretly thinking about the future. She had to be careful and cautious. If she wanted to live a stable life, she really needed to be truly loved.

"Beauty, isn't the Empress Dowager's birthday coming soon? All the concubines in the palace have to give gifts. Isn't it time for you to prepare as well?" Hongyou suggested.

Giving gifts...By the way, the system said that there is still nearly a month left!

It's really boring every day. In addition to giving gifts, there must be other programs at the banquet.

When it comes to playing the piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, dancing and writing poetry, the ancients could beat her by eighteen streets with their eyes closed.

Not to mention embroidery and needlework, she is really a mediocre little waste!

She had to find out more about the Queen Mother's personality and hobbies, and cater to her preferences.

It's a shame she couldn't have a baby right there.

She was just about to ask what kind of plug-ins the system had.

996 suddenly spoke up: [Host, Qi Yan plans to rest early today and continue with the next episode!]

Lu Zhihuan quickly washed up and went to bed, and did not forget to ask Hongyou to wash her new clothes, as she had to wear them tomorrow!

……

Qi Yan returned to his bedroom early to rest. Eunuch De was outside the palace in person today and would not allow anyone to approach the Yangxin Palace and disturb the emperor's "sweet dream".

On Qi Yan's side, he didn't know what time it was. This was the yard where the woman lived, and it was not so desolate and dilapidated.

The door opened with a creak, and a woman in green clothes, holding her chest, stumbled to the well.

The poison had taken effect, and she struggled to draw water from the well. After trying for a long time, she finally managed to pull up half a bucket of water. She eagerly reached in, scooping up the water and gulping it down. Her clothes were soaked, her hair was disheveled.

However, it did not relieve her pain, and she trembled. Suddenly, she uttered a low groan and fell to the ground.

Qi Yan's heart tightened. He wanted to go forward and help her up, but he couldn't. He could only watch her struggle in pain.

Day after day, she experienced this pain every few days, and she often used her fingers to rub her eyebrows, palms, and chest to relieve it.

Every night, she waited at the gate for someone to bring her food, then cautiously asked for "her" news. At first, the person was polite, but later their attitude grew increasingly rude. Worse still, food only came every few days, and when she was starving, she could only swallow water. The city was in chaos, and he heard someone threaten "her" with a woman to force him to withdraw his troops. He was worried, as her health was deteriorating.

That day, the door to the yard was kicked open, and several men with ferocious looks came in, intending to take her away. She was leaning against the well, her hand slowly resting on her lower abdomen. With a faint breath, she said, "Ayan, my child and I can't wait for you any longer." With all her strength, she threw herself into the well.

"No!" Qi Yan yelled. He tried to grab the woman but couldn't touch her.

In the dream, he saw everything the woman had done for him, and his heart was filled with emotion and pain.

Her words, "My children and I can't wait for you anymore," made him feel heartbroken.
