"It's just a normal pregnancy reaction. Everything about the fetus is normal, so you don't have to worry." In the Cuifang Hall, the old doctor spoke with a Guanzhong accent and respectfully comforted Concubine Geng.
Geng's jade hand gently caressed her belly, her beautiful face exuding a maternal glow. Hearing her words, she breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's good..."
There was an indescribable tenderness in her tone, and a hint of anxiety and depression appeared in her expression.
Seeing this, the old doctor stood up, took a step back, and said: "I will prescribe another pair of anti-fetal medicines. The lady only needs to live as usual to support the fetus."
"Thank you, Doctor Hu." Geng came back to his senses and smiled slightly at the old doctor.
"I'll take my leave."
"Send to the imperial doctor." Geng ordered a maid.
There is Cuifang Garden in Cuifang Hall, and the wind in late spring is particularly warm. With the support of the maid, Geng took a walk among the garden paths. The surrounding area was full of life, but Geng's face always had a hint of melancholy. He stopped at the pavilion. After sitting for a while, I couldn't help but touch my cheek, and I felt that I was getting fatter.
"Hey..." His expression became increasingly bitter.
Geng has been pregnant for eight months, her belly is already round, her body is slightly fatter, and her breasts are obviously bigger. Liu Chengyou has felt it before, and the feeling is even worse than before. Unfortunately, Geng's mood is getting more and more depressed. Not happy.
After all, he still felt left out. You know, even when Liu Chengyou was doting on the Geng family, he didn't have much time to chat with you, let alone now that he married the queen, took in a noble concubine, and she was physically inconvenient .
Geng had a gentle and weak temperament, and she was content with herself, but she was also a little sensitive and fragile. Although she did not compete with Liu Chengyou for favors or bring chaos to Liu Chengyou's harem, she could not help but secretly pity her.
"Madam." A chamberlain ran from outside the garden to the pavilion.
Geng came out of his resentful mood, looked at the chamberlain, and asked softly: "Is the imperial chariot setting off?"
The chamberlain nodded and panted slightly: "Your Majesty has passed the Hongqiao and is patrolling to the west."
Geng was stunned for a moment, and then said: "The Queen and Concubine Gao are really accompanying you?"
"Yes."
After hearing the answer, Mr. Geng was silent for a moment, his face looked a little sad, and his eyes slowly turned red.
"My wife is pregnant, so it is not convenient for you to travel and travel. The officials also care about your body. Otherwise, the officials will definitely take your wife with you..." Seeing Geng's look of concern, a palace maid next to her seemed to Seeing her state of mind, I couldn't help but comfort her.
"I know." Geng responded softly, but his mood did not improve.
"Talk too much!" Beside, an old woman scolded the palace maid, and then said to Geng in a warm voice: "Madam, don't think too much. The official family is busy with state affairs and has no time to take care of the harem. To the queen and concubine, It’s not a special favor. You are pregnant now. The most important thing is to take good care of your health and give birth to a baby for the official. Hmm... When the official family is on tour, you may go to Renming Palace to accompany the Queen Mother. Be filial to others."
Hearing what the old woman said, Mr. Geng came back to his senses, looked at her, and the resentment on his face faded a lot. After thinking about it, he said, "I understand. Thank you Granny Li for your advice."
This old woman was the old woman Li sent to serve Liu Chengyou before. After entering Tokyo, she was called back to Renming Hall and became the Shang Palace. After Geng became pregnant, she was sent to Geng's side because of her familiarity. Take care of.
Seeing that Mr. Geng had recovered, Po Li responded with a smile and felt slightly relieved. Did she know that if Mr. Geng remained so depressed, it would not be friendly to the dragon in her belly...
...
Because he was in the palace and did not know the situation among the people, Liu Chengyou used this as an excuse to make the decision to "tour to the west." As soon as the proposal came out, he was immediately opposed by the courtiers headed by Yang Bin. After Liu Chengyou ascended the throne, Yang Bin kept a low profile for a while. But after a period of time, it was discovered that Liu Chengyou was devoted to regulating the country and improving people's livelihood, so he raised his head again and began to "go against" Liu Chengyou.
However, most of the courtiers were on Yang Bin's side this time. They felt that when the country was settled and the emperor first ascended to the throne, he should sit in Tokyo to stabilize the world. They were also hindered by the unrest in the surrounding areas and the unrest in the universe. The first reason Luokung, after all, I still feel that the emperor Liu Chengyou is a little restless.
However, their reasons were actually the motivation for Liu Chengyou's western tour. After all, what he heard was still a bit false. Taking advantage of the initial stability of the situation, Liu Chengyou decided to see the situation among the people for himself. His will was firm and the courtiers could not stop him at all.
Among the ministers, Su Fengji and Feng Dao accompanied him, and the rest were still headed by Yang Bin. Guo Wei assisted in supervising the state affairs. The Longqi Army accompanied him to protect him. Shi Hongzhao was ordered to lead people to escort and deploy the camp.
Liu Chengyou paid attention to the fact that he kept everything simple during his imperial tour to the west. He did not make a big show of it, and he did not want to waste money and people. Apart from the necessary rituals and escorts, there was almost nothing to make a scene. Even the queen and concubine Gao who accompanied him did not do anything to make a scene. It's almost like "carrying a bag" with you.
Although he was heading west, Liu Chengyou did not intend to go far. The farthest point was Luoyang, the capital of Xijing, and he focused on checking the situation in the prefectures and counties between the two capitals.
Nowadays, the country's population is sparse, the land is barren, the economy is depressed, the government is ineffective, and the government is corrupt. Liu Chengyou's trip was mainly to understand the sentiments of the people, appease the people, encourage production, and develop the economy. At the same time, it also showed the existence of his new emperor. , brush your eyeballs.
Thousands of people and horses were slowly heading west. In the large car, Liu Chengyou was drinking tea and reading a book, which seemed quite comfortable. However, it kept shaking while traveling, and the further away from Tokyo, the shaking became more severe, even if the driver was passing by " "Shock reduction" measures are also a bit uncomfortable.
I opened the car curtain and took a look outside. I saw that the road was in bad condition, full of potholes, and it looked like it had not been repaired for many years.
"The road must be built! The road must be built!" Liu Chengyou made a solemn determination during the bumps.
However, a bit of helplessness soon appeared on his face. With the current national conditions, there is more than enough power but not enough. The people have problems with food and clothing. Where can the manpower and material resources come from to carry out "infrastructure".
It's late spring, and on the westbound journey, you can already see some cultivated land on the plains along the way, mainly wheat and rice. The greenery is not very rich, but Liu Chengyou is happy to see it. It's hard to say about other places. But farming in the Kinki area obviously has not been neglected.
After leaving Kaifeng, Liu Chengyou's first order was that it was strictly forbidden to trample on the fields and destroy the crops. Anyone who violated the rules would be beheaded.
Then, almost slapping Liu Chengyou in the face, not long after the ban was issued, several knights under Shi Hongzhao jumped into the civilian fields because of their horses, and were captured by Ma Quanyi, the capital of the camp. Shi Hongzhao still wanted to defend, and those few knights were his Confidants, it is impossible to cause trouble to Liu Chengyou. No punishment or light punishment is impossible. Otherwise, where is the prestige of the emperor Liu Chengyou?
The result was naturally predetermined. Several people were killed and sent to the camp as a warning. Not only that, those horses were all good horses and were killed together to show the emperor's determination to attach importance to farming and maintain the nursery. .
At this time, everyone in the camp, from the ministers and generals to the soldiers and horsemen, were all alert. The emperor's edict was not a joke, it was a real beheading. Even the commander of Shidu could not save it. For Liu Chengyou to kill Shi Hongzhao was very angry about his subordinates' affairs, and complained in private, but most of them reached Liu Chengyou's ears as quickly as possible.
"Guan family, Zhongmu County has arrived!"
I only took a nap on the imperial chariot for a while. When I woke up, the sun was setting in the west. Zhongmu County is under the jurisdiction of Kaifeng Prefecture. It is very close to Tokyo, with a straight line distance of less than sixty miles.
