After a pleasant exchange, Cheng Xi took Zi Nu and Nong Yu back.
Seeing that he had a pleasant exchange with Xunzi and that Confucianism did come over to express his goodwill, Cheng Xi felt that he would give Confucianism a break for the time being.
Anyway, the general trend is that when the world is unified, it will be impossible for Confucianism not to surrender, and I am afraid that Confucianism will officially express its position before the world is unified.
With the gradual destruction of the Six Kingdoms, the pressure on Confucianism has become greater. If Confucianism really has to wait until the world is unified before Confucianism takes a stand, will there still be a place for Confucianism in Qin?
He is not a Confucian, so he will not be the one who is anxious when the time comes.
The next day, Cheng Yu went to the palace to communicate with Ying Zheng, and there was a tacit understanding between the two parties after they met.
The number of Confucian personnel stationed in the Universal Academy increased, and they were led by a core Confucian disciple from the Little Sage Palace, but they did not officially express their stance.
When the Confucian affairs came to an end for the time being, Qin, which had been recuperating for a long time, officially showed its fangs.
The encroachment on the six kingdoms of Shandong began again, with the main targets being Wei, Zhao, and Chu.
For a time, the world was generally peaceful, but war broke out again, but the intensity of the war was controlled within a certain range, and not many people were affected.
Cheng Yu's life gradually calmed down, and he lived a more regular and leisurely life.
One night half a month later, because he had to stay in Yan Fei's room, Cheng Xi had dinner with Yan Fei.
Generally speaking, well-established and powerful people don't like big fish and meat every meal. What they pay attention to is that the food should not be tired of fine food, the food should not be tired of fine food, and it should be stylish.
The royal family of the Qin Dynasty naturally has a lot of background, but this does not affect Cheng Xi's fondness for eating big fish and meat. At worst, he wants all of them, and he is not short of money anyway.
Although Chenglong is a carnivorous animal that enjoys all kinds of meat, it does not mind eating fruits and vegetables and is not picky about food.
Yan Fei is different. She eats less meat and mainly eats vegetables and fruits.
The Moon Goddess and other Yin Yang family members are actually similar in that they do not avoid meat, but they eat relatively little.
Over time, the maids also became clear about the couple's eating habits. Meats were mainly placed on Chenglong's side, and vegetables and fruits were mainly placed on Yanfei's side.
In terms of food intake, Yan Fei is naturally not as good as Cheng Xi, so there is obviously more meat on the table.
The head of the Yin Yang family refines the spirit, then the qi, and finally the body. Although the essence, qi, and spirit complement each other, the physical quality is not very strong.
The aroma of various steaming meats mixed with the aroma of other vegetables permeates the dining room. It is not pungent or cloying, but it makes people appetite.
The couple were chatting and eating, when suddenly Concubine Yan frowned slightly and her face hardened, as if she felt a little uncomfortable.
How meticulous is Cheng Xi's observation ability?
Naturally, Concubine Yan's unusual behavior could not be concealed from Cheng Xi.
"Madam, what's wrong?"
"Husband, it's okay, I just suddenly...vomited..."
Before Yan Fei finished speaking, she suddenly put down Kuaizi, covered her mouth, and made a sound of retching.
The maids waiting nearby quickly gathered around, stroking the backs of some and bringing water to them.
Cheng Yu's eyes lit up when he saw this. Could it be that Concubine Yan was pregnant?
Hmm...she should be pregnant. The two of them often sleep in the same room these days.
As soon as he thought about this, Cheng Yu stood up, came to Yan Fei's side, took her hand, and said in a deep voice: "Go and find a doctor."
Yonghou Mansion has specialized doctors, both men and women, most of whom are disciples of Nian Duan and have good medical skills.
Nian Duan and Duan Murong usually live in the Huanyu Academy and in the mansion at certain times. It would take too much time to invite the two of them.
It is not necessary, unless it is a difficult and complicated disease, Fuchang doctors can solve it easily.
With Yan Fei's level of cultivation, it is impossible for her to suffer from any difficult and complicated diseases, and she is still in good health.
"Husband, I am fine."
Feeling the warmth and generosity of her husband's hands and the eagerness in his voice, Concubine Yan felt warm in her heart and smiled sweetly.
"I know you're fine, how could something be wrong with you?"
"My husband thinks you may be pregnant."
"Take these down to warm them first, I will use them later."
"Here."
The maids immediately started busy in an orderly manner and made very little noise.
"Pregnant?" Concubine Yan said with surprise on her face.
"That's right, you'll find out soon. Let's leave the dining room first."
Concubine Yan nodded slightly and followed Cheng Xi to the main room of the main courtyard where she sat. The couple held hands and chatted.
In just a cup of tea, a female doctor is here.
After feeling her pulse more than once and confirming again and again, she announced that Yan Fei was indeed pregnant.
Cheng Xiu and Yan Fei suddenly smiled and were so happy that they lost the solemnity of Che Hou and Che Hou's wife.
As a man of three generations, Chenglong was naturally very happy to have his first child, and he had a special and wonderful feeling.
In addition to Yan Fei's joy of becoming a mother, the pressure on her body has also disappeared.
Although I still don’t know if it’s a boy or a girl, but if there is one, there are two, so just give it another try.
Of course, Cheng Xi gave the female doctor a heavy reward, and also gave rewards to the whole government.
It is better to have fun alone than to have fun together, and this is also the custom of a wealthy family. Any happy event should generally benefit the subordinates.
Soon the news spread throughout the whole house, and the whole house seemed to have entered a sea of joy, not only to celebrate that the master had an heir, but also because he had gained glory.
After receiving the news, Moon God, Jing Salamander, Zi Nu, Yan Lingji, Madam Hu, Hu Meiren and other ladies also rushed over overnight to congratulate Concubine Yan.
All the girls are really happy, because basically all the girls know that Cheng Yu has been working hard to get his wife pregnant first.
Although he would not be stingy about sleeping in their room, the main wife was still the focus of attention.
If Concubine Yan is pregnant, it means that Chenglong will be able to devote more energy to accompany them, and their chances of having children of their own will also greatly increase.
After the congratulations, the girls left without sitting for too long. After all, Concubine Yan was pregnant and needed more rest.
Naturally, Cheng Xi couldn't leave Yan Fei tonight, so he stayed in other women's rooms, and slept with Yan Fei in his arms.
The next day, Cheng Xi went to the palace to report the good news.
Ying Zheng immediately rewarded some tonics, and other elders also expressed their interest.
In addition, Mrs. Han, the mother-in-law, could not stay in the palace any longer, so she followed Cheng Xi back, intending to provide guidance and care for her daughter-in-law and grandson.
The news slowly spread, and family members of the royal family, high-ranking officials who were close to Cheng Yu, and people who wanted to hug him all sent congratulatory gifts.
All kinds of rewards and gifts were added together, and Cheng Yu found that not only had he earned back the money he had received last night, but there was also some leftover.
The daughter-in-law is pregnant. Although she has her own mother and sufficient manpower to take care of her, since this is her first child, Cheng Yu’s energy on external affairs has been reduced.
In my spare time during the day, I often accompany Concubine Yan to visit other women or walk around.
I heard that pregnant women always take nutritional supplements and it is not good to exercise less. Appropriate exercise is more conducive to the health of the fetus and the safety of pregnant women.
Cheng Xi didn't think that giving birth to a child would be a problem for Concubine Yan. Regardless of her cultivation and strength, Concubine Yan's appearance and methods seemed to make it easy for her to have children.
But it is definitely good to accompany you and take a walk. I heard that a happy mood is also important for pregnant women.
At night, she was afraid that Cheng Xi could not hold back and hurt her grandson, so Mrs. Han did not allow Cheng Xi to sleep with Concubine Yan and moved in to keep her company.
[By the way, the best app for reading aloud and listening to books is Yeguo Reading, install the latest version. 】
Although Concubine Yan was a little reluctant to give up, she was still very happy to see her mother-in-law taking her so seriously.
Cheng Yu was speechless, how could he not help it?
Under the blessing of the Pure Heart Charm, if he really wanted to, no woman in the world could seduce him!
But Cheng Yu is too lazy to go against his mother. It's hard to be honest, so it's not easy to accompany her secretly?
He accompanied Concubine Yan to sleep, and when she fell asleep, Cheng Xi ran to other women's courtyards.
In order to ensure the health of her child, Yan Fei followed an unprecedented routine and went to bed very early.
In addition, when they heard that Concubine Yan was pregnant, Nian Duan and Duan Murong also rushed back to the mansion to stay, keeping an eye on Concubine Yan all the time.
Obviously, during this period of time, Yan Fei's status in the mansion has surpassed that of Cheng Xi, and is similar to the national treasure giant panda.
Originally, Yan Fei's status and treatment were very good, but this situation made all the girls jealous, especially Moon God and Yan Ling Ji.
Even the calmest and calmest man in the world has some fluctuations in his mentality.
Although Cheng Yu did not neglect them and still accompanied them when they should be accompanied, but he also wanted to get more love.
In this case, the way to get more love is naturally to get pregnant.
The girls were a little obsessed with each other, which made Chenglong, who was in great shape, a little overwhelmed, but he could still hold on.
Although it was a bit hard, overall I was mostly happy.
Soon, Frightened Salamander also became pregnant.
Although he is not the first child, he is still taken seriously.
Since Yan Fei and Jing Salaman became pregnant, Yonghou Mansion seemed to have turned on some kind of magical switch, and pregnant women appeared one after another in the next two or three months.
After the Frightened Salamander is the Moon God, after the Moon God is the Purple Girl, and after the Purple Girl is the Flame Spirit Girl.
After Yan Lingji is Xiu Niang, after Xiu Niang is Hu Meiren, and after Hu Meiren is Lan Xin.
Although there are more pregnant women, both Cheng Xi and Mrs. Han are not less happy.
Having a long line of heirs is naturally a good thing, but it’s not something you can’t afford.
After three months, Mrs. Hu was not pregnant.
It's not that Mrs. Hu is incapable of getting pregnant, but that Cheng Yu doesn't want Mrs. Hu to get pregnant.
Cheng Xi is not discriminating against Mrs. Hu, but...it can only be said that everyone who understands understands,
Once Mrs. Hu became pregnant, some things became difficult to handle.
For some things, you still need to be more or less shy, and you can't let the relationship get too weird.
Since Mrs. Hu was the only one who was not pregnant, the responsibility of attending to the bed naturally fell on Mrs. Hu.
However, although Mrs. Hu was already familiar with it, Cheng Yu's physical condition was too inhuman.
It's okay for a short time, but it's really unbearable for a long time.
I often wander back to the clouds, even on the edge of life and death, which makes me a little scared.
Of course, Cheng Xi was very measured and often used his strong internal strength to support Mrs. Hu's recovery.
Coupled with various tonics, recovery was very fast.
Every time she saw Cheng Xi at night, Mrs. Hu was both looking forward to it and afraid, in a contradictory state.
After this continued for a while, Mrs. Hu couldn't hold it any longer and wanted to complain to her sister, who was close to her.
Of course, my daughter, Yu, cannot complain about this kind of thing.
This morning, Mrs. Hu came to the adjacent courtyard of Hu Meiren.
With the relationship between the two sisters, there was naturally no need to inform. Mrs. Hu walked straight in and came to the main room in the courtyard.
Hu Meiren was wearing a pink loose gauze skirt with a slightly protruding belly. She was leaning on a bed made of brocade quilts and silk pillows. She was served by three maids beside her.
"Sister is here."
The two sisters were so close that there was no need to talk about red tape, so Mrs. Hu didn't even move her body and said hello casually.
"Meet Mrs. Yao."
The two sisters can do whatever they want with each other, but the maid will naturally bow when she sees them.
Since the two sisters both have the surname Hu, in order to distinguish them, they are called by the last character of their names.
Mrs. Hu’s name is Hu Yaoyao, and Mrs. Hu’s name is Hu Jiajun.
Mrs. Hu smiled gently and said: "You all go out, I will have a heart-to-heart talk with my sister."
"Here."
The maids did not wait for Hu Meiren's opinion and left the room directly.
"Sister, come and sit."
Hu Meiren stood up and gave up her seat. Mrs. Hu walked over and the two sisters sat on the couch together.
"well……"
After sitting down, Mrs. Hu sighed deeply.
"Sister, what's wrong?"
In front of Hu Meiren, there was naturally nothing to hide and no need to beat around the bush.
Hu Meiren's cheeks were slightly red and she spoke directly what was on her mind.
"Master Hou, you also know that he is really amazing in that aspect."
"My sisters are all pregnant, I am really alone..."
"Sister, what do you think we should do?"
Hu Meiren thought it was something, but it turned out to be this...
Looking at my radiant and charming sister, I feel envious and somewhat understanding.
Mr. Hou is indeed too powerful.
"It's not difficult."
There are such beautiful maids, singers, and dancers in the house, why don't you choose some to take with you to share the burden."
Mrs. Hu shook her head and said with some distress: "But the Marquis doesn't even tempt my personal maid, and the other women in the mansion..."
When Hu Meiren heard this, she realized that it was really the case, and her personal maid, the Marquis, was not interested either.
After so many years of service, I have never seen any female official, maid, singer, dancer, etc. being raised as a concubine.
In addition, in the past, it seemed that Lan Xin was the only lucky one.
Although Mr. Hou is not afraid of beauty, his taste is somewhat unique.
After hesitating for a long time, Hu Meiren came close to Madam Hu and whispered in Madam Hu's ear,
"How does this work?"
"What bad idea did you come up with?"
Mrs. Hu was very speechless and said coquettishly.
Hu Meiren sighed slightly and continued to whisper in Hu Meiren's ear.
Mrs. Hu looked shocked and said in horror: "You mean..."
"No, it's too ridiculous."
Hu Meiren shook her head and said: "Actually, I'm not sure, but the Marquis has no intention of making any trouble."
Mrs. Hu: "..."
"It still doesn't work, it's too ridiculous."
"Not only is it ridiculous for us, it's also ridiculous for Madam Zi."
Mrs. Hu shook her head and said anxiously.
Hu Meiren nodded slightly and said, "It's a little ridiculous."
"But this kind of thing is not a big deal in Zhongming Dingshi House, it is commonplace."
"As far as my sister knows, among the seven royal families and powerful people, things much more ridiculous than this are common."
"There are many records in the history books. They are really related by blood."
"Sister, the most important thing is that if Mr. Hou really has this intention, can we sisters stop it?"
In this era when ethics have not yet been fully formed, the atmosphere is very open.
The same is true for nobles with more profound backgrounds. Cheng Xi's Marquis Mansion was established not long ago and is already considered very clean.
There are many records in the history books and unofficial history before the Warring States Period. Later generations cannot see them, but they have not been destroyed now.
Even in later generations when Tsunasa ethics gradually took shape, there were a lot of messy things.
For example, it is said that Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty said: He who gives birth to me is not allowed, and he who gives birth to me is not allowed, and the rest are allowed.
The relationship between Tang Taizong Li Shimin's domineering sister-in-law, Tang Gaozong Li Zhi and Li Shimin's concubine Wu Meiniang has to be said.
Even in the Song, Ming and Qing Dynasties, when etiquette and rules were strict and strict, there were many messy things.
If Cheng Yu really had that intention, in today's era, it wouldn't actually be that ridiculous, just a little ridiculous.
After all, there is no blood relationship at all. If word spreads to others, it would be said to be a romantic affair, a lot of love and so on.
The impact on Cheng Xi's reputation is minimal and almost non-existent.
After listening to Hu Meiren's words, Mrs. Hu suddenly fell silent, not knowing what to say...
"By the way, sister, there is one more thing."
"Why are we all pregnant, except you, sister? Are you really unlucky?"
Mrs. Hu was shocked all over. Thinking about it this way...it's really close.
"But……"
"Oh, that's all, we don't care, but what about Nongyu's reputation?" Mrs. Hu said with a sad face.
"Isn't this simple?"
"Not much is known about Nong Yu's true identity."
"All you need to do is seal your mouth, give me a new identity, and make it clear that you have nothing to do with us, and then you can fool outsiders."
"This is the method I thought of, sister. If it were Mr. Hou, I'm afraid there would be a better way."
Mrs. Hu: "..."
"Sister, Mr. Hou is really... really..."
After a long pause, Mrs. Hu could not speak.
"How can a man resist such temptation?"
"Don't you realize that every time Mr. Hou is with our sisters, he is in better condition?"
Hu Meiren's cheeks were stained with snow, and she spoke with profound meaning.
"Bah...sister, you are really..."
Mrs. Hu couldn't say that word, her cheeks were red and the blush reached her earlobes.
"Okay, sister, we are actually pretty much the same sisters."
"It's just that one is charming from the outside and the other is charming from the inside."
"When I got excited before, you were crazier than me."
"In the words of the Marquis, it seems that he has awakened some strange attributes..."
"That little appearance, tsk tsk...sister, my heart is moved."
Seeing that her old background was exposed, Mrs. Hu couldn't hold back at all.
That is to say, Hu Meiren is pregnant now, so it is not easy to fight.
Otherwise, Mrs. Hu would definitely ignore her usual demure and gentle demeanor and directly pounce on her and launch a tickling offensive until Mrs. Hu begs for mercy.
Now, Mrs. Hu can only blush and run away.
