I have already established my power and prestige, so how did Li Shimin come back to life?

When Su Zhi heard this, her heart was filled with warmth.

"Your Majesty, I wish to expand your harem for another reason, mainly because I..."

Li Chengqian didn't hear it clearly, but he seemed to understand something vaguely.

With a sudden thought, he turned around and looked at Su Zhi with burning eyes: "Queen, please say it again! I didn't hear it clearly just now!"

Su Zhi's cheeks flushed red, like the clouds in the sky, and she said shyly, "Your Majesty, I am pregnant!"

Li Chengqian heard it clearly and stood up from the armchair abruptly.

Turned around and walked to Su Zhi.

His hands gently extended towards Su Zhi's abdomen, his voice trembling slightly with excitement: "Queen, are you really pregnant?"

Su Zhi nodded firmly: "Your Majesty! She is indeed pregnant!"

Li Chengqian's face lit up with smiles instantly, and the heavy burden that had been piling up on his shoulders for days disappeared without a trace in an instant, his heart filled with the joy of becoming a father soon.

"Your Majesty, please don't move for now. Let me comb your hair for you."

"Great!" Li Chengqian was so excited that he could hardly contain himself, but he forced himself to suppress it and sat back on the armchair. However, his heart was beating violently in his chest like a horse that had broken free from its reins, and it was difficult to calm down.

This is his first child in his two lifetimes!

"Your Majesty, what if the baby is a princess?" Su Zhi frowned slightly and asked with a little worry.

Li Chengqian blurted out without hesitation, "So what if she's a princess? If she becomes a princess, she'll be the apple of my eye, the crown of the Tang Dynasty. With the honor of being the eldest princess, I will do my utmost to ensure she lives a life without worries."

"If I were a prince, I would naturally shoulder the heavy responsibility of protecting the country and being the Crown Prince of the Tang Dynasty."

"But I still hope it's a daughter. Compared to sons, I still like daughters more."

Upon hearing this, Su Zhi combed her jade comb and smiled even more brightly: "Since this is the case, I would like to thank Your Majesty for your grace on behalf of my unborn child."

"Your Majesty, Grand Tutor Qi is at the door requesting an audience with Your Majesty."

Zhang Ananda's thin figure hurried in from the entrance of Liangyi Hall. He bent his waist slightly, his expression full of respect, and spoke softly.

Li Chengqian was originally gazing intently at Su Zhi's belly, which had not yet shown any signs of pregnancy. Upon hearing the report, his face instantly lit up with a high-spirited look.

He said loudly, "Let Master Qi come in."

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Zhang Ananda received the order and quietly retreated.

Mr. Qi's calm figure stepped into the Liangyi Hall.

He glanced around and saw Su Zhi was also in the hall. He immediately stopped and bowed respectfully.

"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to the Empress."

Su Zhi nodded slightly and responded with a gentle nod.

Li Chengqian waved his hand casually and was about to call him "Lao Qi" affectionately as usual, but when the words came to his lips, they seemed to be blocked by some invisible force.

A trace of imperceptible loneliness flashed across his eyes very quickly, but it was fleeting and was quickly suppressed by him.

Then, with uncontrollable joy in his tone, he said, "Master Qi, I have good news for you! The Empress is pregnant! I'm having a child!"

When Mr. Qi heard the news, he paused noticeably, a trace of astonishment flashed across his face, and then he slowly smiled with joy.

He quickly said, "Then I would like to congratulate Your Majesty and the Queen right here!"

Su Zhi was very attentive and knew that the two seemed to have something to discuss, so she said softly and tactfully, "Since Your Majesty has government affairs to attend to, I will take my leave first."

Li Chengqian nodded tenderly and said with concern, "Then Queen, go and rest first. Don't tire yourself out. I will accompany you tonight."

Su Zhi responded softly, then walked out of the hall slowly with light lotus steps.

Mr. Qi looked at the smile that still lingered on Li Chengqian's face, narrowed his eyes slightly, and said with a hint of emotion: "It's been a long time since I've seen Your Majesty so cheerful."

Li Chengqian smiled at Mr. Qi with satisfaction, his eyes immediately becoming firm as he asked, "Master Qi, how is the plan going?"
