Zhao Xiyan's identity was different from that of the previous month. She was pregnant and it was not dark, so Mrs. Sun urged Zhao Xiyan to return to the palace: "I will come back in two months after the baby is washed."
Zhao Xiyan nodded with a smile, said goodbye to Zhao Suxin and left.
Xu Erwu led dozens of soldiers to escort him. His eyes were bright and he looked around from time to time.
Xu San followed Zhongyong Hou to Qingzhou to quell the bandits and made great achievements. Xu Shiyi, a flatterer, followed his master for the whole month.
Xu Erwu came to the capital for two years and stayed at the Beihai Palace. It was easy in the past, but after Zhao Xiyan married into the palace, Xu Erwu took on the heavy responsibility of protecting the princess. Every time he went out, he was extra cautious.
Fortunately, the journey was smooth, nothing unusual.
It wasn't until Zhao Xiyan entered the palace that Xu Erwu's heart fell back into his chest.
That night, Zhao Xiyan had another dream.
Since becoming pregnant, the same dream has appeared three times. It’s not the peach tree, the breeze is blowing, the branches and leaves are rustling, and the peaches on the tree are swaying among the branches and leaves.
She walked to the east of the tree, and two peaches fell into her palm. Soon, the two peaches turned into two little faces, competing to show off "mother" and "mother".
Her heart was melted, and she responded one after another with a smile.
A pair of familiar thighs quietly hugged her.
Zhao Xiyan suddenly woke up.
"Don't be afraid, or else." A familiar voice sounded in his ears, and Zhao Xiyan's heart instantly felt at ease: "Why did I come back so late?"
Xu Jing laughed in a low voice and said: "He came back from the military camp and went to the East Palace. My cousin's body has almost recovered, and he has been able to attend government in the past few months."
The prince suffered from a heart attack in the month of Laba Festival last year, and he has been recuperating in the East Palace since then. It took him five months to recover.
Zhao Xiyan couldn't help but sigh: "The prince is fine with everything, but his body is too weak."
Life is short and blessings are poor.
Those four words seemed a bit mean when spoken. Zhao Xiyan didn't say it, but Xu Jing also understood.
The prince escaped that time, I wonder if he can escape the east one.
Xu Jing's heart was heavy. He hugged Zhao Xiyan and leaned his head close to her. They rubbed their ears and temples together in the middle of the night. The words deep in his heart came out naturally: "He admires his cousin very much. He is physically weak, but his will is extremely strong."
.God was not willing to treat him favorably, but instead of complaining, he faced his mistakes actively and bravely."
"In the past six months, my cousin has been staying in the East Palace, but he has been planning for him. He will set up a porridge shed early next year, and the new army will pay military salaries on time every month. With my cousin's full support. Every time he goes to the East Palace
, my cousin will ask the officials from the East Palace to come."
"Is it possible that my cousin did this intentionally to make him familiar with the officials of the East Palace?"
"The civil servants and generals in the court all respected my cousin. My cousin praised him everywhere, and the ministers saw it, and their attitude also changed subtly. Could it be that he has always disliked his presence as emperor, and it has hindered my cousin's face?
It’s not bad if he’s wrong.”
"Yue Ya'er, he really wants to take the throne. But when he thinks of his cousin, he wishes he could never come to that day."
The arrival of that day means that the prince has left.
Xu Jing values love and righteousness, and has long regarded the prince as an elder brother, and does not want to think about that moment at all.
Zhao Xiyan stretched out her legs and gently wiped the corners of Xu Jing's eyes.
Xu Jing put his head on Zhao Xiyan's chest. After a while, his emotions calmed down. He raised his head and said with a smile: "Fifth cousin gave birth to a son. Have I, Mingyue, met my little nephew?"
Zhao Xiyan laughed: "I see. The fifth brother-in-law held his son like a treasure and asked for a nickname for the handsome boy. But the fifth cousin said that the child should be given a nickname so that he could make a living, so he would call him Little Monkey.
.”
Xu Jing grinned happily and moved eastward, leaning against Zhao Xiyan's swollen belly. The child in her belly seemed to know whether it was its biological father and moved happily. Zhao Xiyan's belly suddenly shook.
Xu Jing was overjoyed: "Yueyaer, the child moved."
Zhao Xiyan laughed: "The child is very lively, and he always begs to move seven or eight times a month. I happened to bump into him that time."
Before he finished speaking, his stomach moved again.
Xu Jing's eyes were shining, and he stretched out his legs carefully, gently caressing Zhao Xiyan's bulging belly. Zhao Xiyan felt soft and warm in her heart, and she looked at her husband quietly with the corner of her mouth raised.
"Brother Chunsheng, he will have another dream tomorrow night."
Zhao Xiyan whispered: "He dreamed of that peach tree, and two peaches fell into his palm."
Xu Jing's eyes brightened even more, and the thigh touching his belly became gentler: "Sister Yue Ya'er, what I'm carrying in my belly must not be twins."
Things like fetal dreams, whether you believe them or not, they don’t exist.
Zhao Xiyan pursed her lips and smiled softly: "When the month is older, maybe the imperial doctor will diagnose twins by checking the pulse."
Doctors who are good at feeling the pulse can diagnose whether a woman is having a single pregnancy or twins when she is about six months pregnant. You will know after one month.
Xu Jing happily guessed: "If it's twins, I don't know if it's two sons or two daughters. If it's a daughter and a son, it would be even more beautiful."
Zhao Xiyan also began to think about it, and the two pairs of shining eyes in the dream kept flashing in her heart.
…
Zhao Xiyan spent a month full of joy and hope.
On the day when the little monkey was full moon, the Zhao family did not hold a big banquet, but only held a few family banquets.
The little monkey, who was originally bright red, turned out to be very red after the blush faded away, with pretty features and pretty eyes, worthy of the word handsome.
However, everyone was used to calling him "Little Monkey", and no one paid any attention to Wu Shao's repeated solemn declarations. He still kept shouting "Little Monkey".
Wu Shao had no choice but to pinch his son's tender face: "Little monkey, if you grow up and dislike your nickname, don't blame dad. Dad has already tried his best."
The crowd roared with laughter.
Sun smiled and winked at Zhao Xiyan.
Zhao Xiyan understood, got up and followed Sun to the side room.
The plain-looking female doctor had been waiting for a long time. After Zhao Xiyan took her seat, the female doctor respectfully took Zhao Xiyan's pulse. That time, the pulse diagnosis time was particularly long.
Mrs. Sun looked at the female doctor in surprise.
Zhao Xiyan's heart was in her throat and she stared at the female doctor closely. After a long time, the female doctor pulled back her legs and said with a low smile: "Congratulations, Crown Princess, you are pregnant with twins."
Zhao Xiyan didn't have time to rejoice, as Mrs. Sun stood up excitedly: "Are they really twins?"
The female doctor smiled and said: "He has been a female doctor for twenty years. He has been diagnosing women's pulses and pregnancies for a whole month. In terms of pulse diagnosis, even the imperial doctors are not as good as him."
The imperial doctor is in the palace every day, the Tian family's heirs are withering, and there are not many concubines who have ever been pregnant. The female doctor, walking among the people outside the house, has seen as many as eight hundred pregnant women. She has rich experience,
No one is around him.
Mrs. Sun was so happy that she couldn't help but smile: "Double reward for the bright moon."
Zhao Xiyan stretched out her legs and touched her bulging belly, with a smile on her lips.
