Chapter 450 Why did the emperor have so many babies

"In the southern part of Li County, you and Lu Yan teamed up to set up defenses and successfully stopped Qi Sheng's vanguard troops, and saved thousands of innocent people. Isn't this considered military merit?" Qi Rui's voice was strong.

"It's true that we work together to set up defenses, but in the end if we don't..." Meng Yuan paused, glanced at Shen Qingqing secretly, and fell silent again.

After pushing and pushing, the credit still lies with both of them, and there is no way they can escape it.

Qi Rui seemed to have seen through this and could not refuse: "Anyway, the matter is settled like this. Da Qi happens to be short of generals. If you work hard, there will be many opportunities for promotion in the future."

Meng Yuan: "..." There is so much foreshadowing, so this sentence is probably the key point.

After Meng Yuan's position was arranged, it was Shen Qingqing's turn again.

"Actually, I also want to make you a general, but my mother said that you are best at Taoism. Logically speaking, you should be arranged to go to the Star Zhailing Pavilion. However, the situation in the Star Zhailing Pavilion is a bit complicated now, so I won't let you take the risk.

"

Qi Rui analyzed it by himself and then made a decision: "Then I will make you Princess Linghui and grant you a residence in the Princess' Mansion in the south of the city. Everything in the mansion is ready-made. You can move in after you pack up your things."

Yes, very convenient.”

Shen Qingqing was confused, Princess? How did she become the Princess?

You can evade the princess, but you can't evade the princess, right?

She immediately bowed and said loudly: "Your Majesty, please think twice!"

This princess is not worthy of being a princess. If she becomes one, she will not be able to return to Yanghua Village to retire!

Qi Rui automatically ignored her words and continued to arrange: "In addition, I will reward you and your wife with a thousand taels of gold, a hundred acres of fertile land, and a hundred slaves. Baofeng, write down all what I said, and then issue an imperial edict to the general.

Mansion."

Baofeng replied in a high-pitched voice, "I obey the order," and congratulated them with a smile.

Shen Qingqing smiled back, which was uglier than crying.

Qi Rui seemed not to notice the low pressure in the palace and changed the topic: "Actually, in addition to wanting to meet Zhuo Yu and discuss merit and reward, I have another thing to ask you to come here today."

While speaking, his eyes kept falling on Shen Qingqing, "Can you also find the souls of other princes and princesses, just like Zhuo Yu... I really can't bear to watch my children stay stupid for the rest of their lives."

"It stands to reason that it is possible, but it may take a little more time." Shen Qingqing asked: "Can the common girl first meet the prince and princess who need to attract the soul?"

"Of course." Qi Rui raised his hand and ordered Baofeng to go out and summon the emperor's heirs from each palace.

After half a stick of incense, Chengqian Hall was filled with people standing in darkness. Excluding the accompanying palaces and concubines, there must have been more than twenty children alone. Only five of them were older than Meng Qiyu, and the rest were just a bunch of people.

little guy.

Shen Qingqing's eyes darkened and she almost fainted. This lady must be so fertile!

If it takes five days to attract a soul, with so many children, it will take more than a hundred days. If one person does not go well, more time will have to be added. If you calculate this, wouldn't it mean that she will have to follow the soul-inducing lamp for half a year in the future?

keep company?

The more Shen Qingqing thought about it, the more upset and irritable she became. Finally, she couldn't help but secretly asked Gu Jiali: "Can you tell me why the emperor has so many babies?"

Gu Jiali coughed lightly and lowered his voice and said, "Because I want to give birth to a normal, smart, and heir to the throne who can inherit the throne."

As a result, one child was stupid and the other was stupid, and a whole house was saved in one go.

Shen Qingqing was silent. The reason was very convincing, but it was just a pain for her and Brother Deng.

"There is another very important question now." Meng Yuan suddenly said: "We are not sure whether their lost souls are wandering in the outside world or collected by Sikyong."

If it's the former, they only need to spend a little more effort to get all the souls back; if it's the latter... this means that they can't rashly attack Sikyong and the Queen before the souls are completed.

Moreover, it is very likely that Sikyong will use those souls as bargaining chips to threaten them into making concessions step by step.

In this case, it will be difficult for them to advance or retreat.

If I have to give up so many innocent children, if I take a step back, I will be manipulated by the Imperial Master and the Queen... Just thinking about it is irritating.

For a while, everyone was silent.

After a long time, Gu Jiali broke the silence and suggested: "Let's test it first, what if the situation is not as bad as we thought?"

Shen Qingqing nodded, "Okay, let's take a prince back quietly today, and then make a decision after the results come out."

The three of them returned to the main hall and told Qi Rui about the idea of ​​selecting people for the test. Qi Rui simply agreed, "Everyone is here, choose whatever you want, I won't interfere."

When Shen Qingqing turned around to choose someone, he awkwardly called him back, "Actually, I also have an idea... Can you keep Zhuo Yu? I want to develop a relationship with him."

Shen Qingqing frowned and opened her mouth to refuse, but considering the identity of the other party, her tone was a little more tactful: "This... the situation in the palace is complicated, isn't it safe?"

"With Jiali here, nothing will happen. Zhuo Yu is my son, how could I harm him?" Qi Rui was unwilling to give up.

At this time, Meng Qiyu, who had not spoken much, suddenly knelt down and said obediently: "Father, I want to go back to that home. If you are reluctant to let me go, can I come visit you next time?"

His son had already spoken, so Qi Rui had no choice but to stop pushing, "Okay, we'll see you another day. Anyway, the days are still long, so there's no rush for this moment."

Shen Qingqing breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the emperor did not persist to the end, otherwise this matter would not have ended well.

The three of them picked among the princes and finally chose the slightly older second prince, Qi Zhuoran.

He looks exactly like his mother and concubine, with big eyes and a round face. He loves to laugh very much. Every time he smiles, he shows two big gaping teeth, which makes him particularly happy.

Maybe it was the first time he left the palace. Qi Zhuoran was a little scared. After climbing on the carriage, he hid in a corner and kept squeezing towards his peer Meng Qiyu, staring at his hands with both eyes.

The snacks inside are unobtrusive.

Meng Qiyu felt very uncomfortable with his fiery eyes. She casually grabbed a handful of nuts and stuffed them into his hand, saying, "Eat, don't look at me."

Qi Zhuoran grinned at him, "Hey, eat something."

After saying that, he just stuffed the shelled walnuts into his mouth.

Meng Qiyu was stunned. Before he had time to react, he heard a "crash" sound, and the hard walnut shell was directly bitten by him. Of course, not only the walnut shell was sacrificed gloriously, but also the two moving walnuts below him.

front teeth.

Qi Zhuoran spit out the broken walnut shell with a "bah bah" sound. When he lowered his head and saw the bright red blood on the walnut shell, he cried loudly.

Meng Qiyu hurriedly grabbed his sleeve, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, wiped the tears from his eyes, stirred up and down, and wiped the blood evenly.

A child who was originally fair and tender was turned into a bloody mess.
