Contract Prince

Not only Xiao Muxue was stunned, Gu Yunjing also felt extremely embarrassed, the two of them couldn't help but look at each other.Empress Zhao didn't appreciate the delicate atmosphere, she continued: "It is important to pass on the family line, but we can't blindly focus on greed and pleasure and damage the body.

"The son-in-law is weak, and I will ask the imperial doctor to prepare some medicines for the son-in-law to supplement his body." Empress Zhao laughed, "My grandson must be smart and strong."

When people reach a certain age, they will long to see the warm pictures of their children and grandchildren Cheng Huan. Rao is the mother of a country, no exception.The queen is eager to embrace her grandson, but her daughter-in-law's stomach hasn't moved for many years, so she can only pin her hopes on Gu Yunjing and Xiao Muxue.

The queen spoke happily, but Gu Yunjing was terrified when he heard it.As we all know, imperial doctors need to prepare medicines according to the constitution of the patients, and this needs to involve the link of pulse detection, which can distinguish between male and female gender.Gu Yunjing looked slightly startled, her heart suddenly rose to her throat.

If it is found to be a daughter, it will be a big deal.The empress loves her daughter very much, if she knew that Xiao Muxue married a woman, Xiao Guan would really be able to destroy the Zhenyuan Hou Mansion under his rage.

Gu Yunjing's back felt cold, and his face was slightly pale.After all, he is a quick-thinking person. After calming down, he saluted and said: "Thank you mother for your kindness. My son just took tonic yesterday. It is not appropriate to take tonic now, otherwise the effects of the two medicines will compete."

After finishing speaking, she winked at Xiao Muxue who was at the side.Xiao Muxue immediately understood, and added: "Indeed, the son-in-law just took it this morning."

Zhou Chengzhou, an imperial physician who used to work in the Imperial Hospital, was a master at preparing yang-reinforcing medicines. He was over [-] years old and had already returned home.The queen specially sent someone to invite him from the countryside to give a consultation to the son-in-law, so as to prescribe the right medicine.

But looking at it now, it is unnecessary. Anyone with a little knowledge of medical theory knows that the two yang-reinforcing medicines cannot be taken at the same time, otherwise, not only will it not work, but it will also hurt the body.

The tonifying and yang medicine prepared by the imperial doctor Zhou was very effective, but Gu Yunjing had already taken other medicines, so the queen naturally gave up her previous thoughts.She said with some regret: "Mr. Zhou is especially good at developing this medicine. Let him prepare it after the son-in-law finishes eating the medicine from the government."

"Yes." Gu Yunjing said with a guilty conscience, her tone was very weak.The queen's persistent eyes made it difficult for her to refuse, and she couldn't find a reason for her refusal, so she bit the bullet and agreed, and could only take one step at a time.

Empress Zhao continued to talk about the topic of reproduction, while Gu Yunjing and the two listened respectfully from the sidelines, each with a feeling in their hearts.

Mrs. Zhao is someone who has experienced it, and she thinks that procreation is extremely important, so when talking about this topic, her tone was not reserved, and the two blushed, ashamed and ashamed, and slightly lowered their heads.

The three of them chatted while walking, and they arrived at Zhengyang Palace in a blink of an eye.After the palace people made the tea, Nuonuo brought it to the princess consort.

Gu Yunjing lost her mother since she was young, and the waiting mansion has a small population. After the newly married Xiao Muxue directly skipped the part of paying homage to her uncle and aunt before waiting for Xiaotang.It was the day of return to Ning, according to the rules of the Xiao Kingdom, as a newlywed son-in-law, the son-in-law should serve tea to the queen.As a daughter, Xiao Muxue must have this rule.

After patting his sleeves a few times, Gu Yunjing presented a cup of green tea that was [-]% full. Holding the cup in both hands, he handed it to the queen respectfully, bowed to his side and said, "Mother, please have some tea."

Empress Zhao smiled with satisfaction, slowly took a sip from her teacup, and said softly: "Okay, okay."Now the son-in-law can be regarded as the half son of the palace, in my eyes, your status is equal to that of Xue'er. "

"This palace is just such a precious daughter. If she is to marry into the Marquis of Zhenyuan, the son-in-law must not let her be wronged."

Gu Yunjing lowered her eyes, as a woman, how could she make the princess happy?The only thing I can do is probably to make her happy as much as possible.It is precisely for this reason that she, who is far away from power disputes, helps Xiao Zhan again and again.

She nodded slightly and said, "Don't worry, Queen Mother."

Empress Zhao looked at Xiao Muxue with loving eyes, remembering her daughter's cold temperament, after she pondered for a moment, she kindly instructed: "Xue'er, although you are a rich man, since you are married into the Hou's mansion, you can't act like a princess. , respect and cherish your husband and son-in-law, and fulfill your duty as a wife.”

This time it was Xiao Muxue's turn to be silent, recalling the little things she got along with Gu Yunjing, how could she have fulfilled her duty as a wife?Apart from being indifferent to Gu Yunjing, she was still indifferent.

In all fairness, Gu Yunjing was indeed very good, so good that Xiao Muxue was shocked and sighed.The son-in-law has a noble character and is full of talent. He is a handsome man, but it is a pity that she is not destined to give Gu Yunjing happiness.Countless guilt flashed in Xiao Muxue's heart.

Gu Yunjing helped Xiao Zhan several times and rescued her several times.This kindness alone made Xiao Muxue grateful enough.

Looking at the handsome face of the son-in-law, the princess sighed in her heart: Although she doesn't love her, she will definitely give her the necessary respect.

Xiao Muxue said to the Queen: "My Queen's teachings, I will definitely abide by them."

"It's so good. Seeing that you are happy and healthy, I feel relieved." The queen looked at Gu Yunjing and then at Xiao Muxue from the left, filled with joy in her heart.

"Today is the day of returning to Ning. According to the ancestral system, you should go to pay homage to the Taimiao. It's not early, it's time to leave. Don't delay the auspicious time. The sedan chair is waiting at the gate of the palace."

According to the ancestral system of the royal family of the Xiao Kingdom, not only the prince needs to pay homage to the Taimiao when he gets married, but the princess also needs to do so when she returns to Ning.

"Yes, Queen Mother." Gu Yunjing and Xiao Muxue bid farewell to the queen, walked out of the gate of Zhengyang Palace, and saw a group of palace people waiting.

Originally the emperor and the princes should also go to the Taimiao to worship their ancestors, but there was a small episode in the middle, Concubine An and Concubine Zhao had a conflict, Xiao Guan was furious in the imperial study, and the princes looked at each other in fright.

"Concubine An, what do you have to say?" Xiao Guan sat on the dragon chair, asking sternly.

"Father, please calm down. My daughter-in-law has been wronged." Concubine An Liu kowtowed, she was already in tears.

Xiao Guan looked at the appearance of the eldest daughter-in-law Lihua in the rain, he couldn't bear it in his heart, and his tone slowed down, "If you have any grievances, just tell us, if there are really grievances, I will uphold justice for you."

Seeing Xiao Guan's appearance, Concubine Zhao Qian knew that if there was no cruelty, the emperor might not punish Concubine An.Qian clutched her stomach tightly, her face was full of pain, the corners of her mouth twitched, tears rolled in her eyes, and she said in pain, "Ah, my stomach hurts so much."

The wife of Concubine Zhao Xiao Cong's wife Qian Shi usually likes to be a monster, and her acting skills are naturally top-notch. Who can not believe this costume?

Qian shi played tricks on her husband Xiao Cong, the demon couple also had a tacit understanding, Xiao Cong immediately understood, and made a big fuss: "My concubine, what's wrong with you?"

Princess Zhao continued intermittently: "Your Highness... Your Highness..., my stomach... hurts so much, my stomach... my child...."

"Child?" Xiao Guan hurriedly stood up from the chair, and asked in a daze, "Prince Zhao, are you pregnant?"

While supporting the "weak" Qian Shi, Xiao Cong replied anxiously to Xiao Guan's words, "My father, she is indeed pregnant, just two months old."

As soon as Xiao Cong's words came out, An Wang Xiao Zhan and An Wang Consort Qian turned pale with shock.Although they don't know whether the other party's words are true or false, it is enough to make them worry.

Because Xiao Guan is over fifty years old, he has not yet had a grandson.The child in Princess Zhao's womb can be regarded as Xiao Guan's first grandson, how could it not be precious?

Princess An, who was kneeling on the ground, glanced at Xiao Zhan, she knew that she had caused trouble for her husband again.Xiao Cong and Xiao Zhan, half-brothers, have always been at odds. If it wasn't for Xiao Guan's face, they would have been at war long ago.

Xiao Zhan can also be regarded as a gentleman, but no matter what he doesn't have any affection for his elder brother Xiao Cong.There is no other reason, Xiao Cong is a very scheming person, he is said to be a prince, but in fact he is no different from the smooth talkers.One thing in front of Xiao Guan, another thing behind his back.

Xiao Zhan hated Xiao Cong's hypocrite the most, but no matter how much he hated it, he could do nothing about it.Because Xiao Cong was indeed deeply favored by Xiao Guan, and because of his mother Concubine Li, in recent years, the limelight of this eldest son from a concubine has far surpassed that of his eldest son, Xiao Zhan.

Xiao Zhan knew Xiao Cong's sinister personality, and this time he would definitely make a big fuss about Princess Zhao's pregnancy. In short, if he didn't bring himself down, Xiao Cong would never let it go.

In fact, Zhao Wang Xiao Cong's abacus was also like this.Concubine Zhao is not pregnant, so she puts on a show just because she wants the emperor to condemn Wang An and his wife.

After all, it was because Xiao Cong was afraid of Xiao Zhan.Xiao Zhan has both civil and military skills, moral integrity and ability. Even if his status as prince is abolished, as long as he stays in the capital for a day, Xiao Cong feels that he will make a comeback.Sooner or later it will become a stumbling block for him, so if Xiao Zhan is not moved, he will have trouble sleeping and eating.

Concubine Zhao always wanted to be a crown princess in her dreams, until she would become a queen mother in the future.The demon couple conspired together, so they staged such a good show in front of Xiao Guan.Using the child in his stomach as a bargaining chip, he will not be able to fix Xiao Zhan.

Xiao Cong glanced at Xiao Zhan with his dark eyes, and a cold smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
