A few months later, Ye Qinyao came to visit and saw Zhao Xiyan with a big and round belly. She felt a little trembling in her heart: "Yueyaer, why is my belly so big? Isn't the pregnancy only more than six months? He
Why does she look older than an ordinary woman who is eight months pregnant?"
Zhao Xiyan pursed her lips and smiled, whispering quietly in Ye Qinyao's ear.
Ye Qinyao heard a "Hey!" and was both surprised and happy: "Isn't that great!"
A pair of wonderful eyes kept looking around, filled with wonder and envy: "I am so lucky to be pregnant with twins at once."
Zhao Xiyan stretched out her legs and touched the corners of her raised mouth, and laughed softly: "He has been laughing for several months, and the corners of his mouth are a little sore."
Ye Qinyao burst into laughter, and soon gave a solemn instruction: "It is not easy for women to get pregnant and give birth. If you are pregnant with twins, you have to be more careful. He heard that those who are pregnant with twins are more likely to give birth prematurely."
Zhao Xiyan nodded: "The female doctor told him that after more than seven months of pregnancy, it can start at any time. If his belly is not small anymore, he must eat less and move more."
"The delivery room has been prepared. The Queen has chosen two midwives to deliver them. There are many doctors in the palace. Everything is ready."
Ye Qinyao looked around like a thief, then lowered her voice and said: "We can't just let the midwives in the palace deliver the babies. My husband also has to prepare two midwives."
Empress Su was well-known for her virtuousness. However, after the news spread that the crown prince of Yingchuan died in childbirth in the palace, no one dared to underestimate the virtuous empress.
Knowing people, knowing their faces, but not knowing their hearts, being on guard against others is indispensable!
Zhao Xiyan felt warm in her heart and stretched out her legs to hold Ye Qinyao's legs: "Don't worry, he has been prepared."
Ye Qinyao felt relieved and chatted with Zhao Xiyan for more than half a month before leaving.
The next month, Gao Pingping came to visit again.
"My belly grows so fast?" Gao Pingping looked surprised: "Has he ever seen his elder sister-in-law and his second sister-in-law look pregnant? I'm only six months pregnant, why is my belly so big?"
Mistaking Gao Pingping, Zhao Xiyan did not mention the twins, and casually smiled and said: "The belly is indeed a bit big." He naturally changed the subject: "Zhongyong Hou returned to Beijing from his master's duties half a month ago, so count the time and months.
, we can return to the capital soon!"
Gao Pingping's attention immediately shifted: "If it's fast, it's ten days away." Then he sighed: "In those few years, his father was fighting and fighting everywhere, and he had less and less time to stay in the capital safely."
Zhao Xiyan said softly: "The Duke of Ding is in his prime, and Marquis Zhongyong is in his prime. He is a pillar of the country and is highly valued by the emperor. That's why he has no leisure time."
"I'm right." Gao Pingping relaxed his brows and smiled: "Being idle and doing nothing is the greatest sorrow for a general."
Then, pretending to be casual, he brought the topic to Xu San: "Xu San captured Zhou Sui alive in Qingzhou and made a great contribution. In those few months, Xu San also made a lot of achievements in suppressing bandits. When the army returns to Beijing,
Now, I should be able to reward you based on your merits!"
Zhao Xiyan smiled slightly: "The prince will definitely not treat him badly."
Gao Pingping felt a little guilty when Zhao Xiyan saw it, so he changed the subject: "After Su Jin married to the Meng family, her confinement was going smoothly. I heard that she was happy. In a few months, he went to see her.
.”
Zhao Xiyan felt a little regretful: "Is it inconvenient for him to go out?"
Gao Pingping smiled and said: "My belly is so big. I want to take care of the baby as my top priority. I really can't move around. By the way, Ji Yunshu is also pregnant. It's not even three months old, so he hasn't made any announcement for the time being. Did he listen to what his mother said?
You won’t know until you get up.”
Zhao Xiyan's smile faded and she glanced at Gao Pingping.
In her previous life, Gao Pingping became a queen, but she never had any heirs. In that life, everyone's fate was quietly changing. Murong Shen married Ji Yunshu, but Gao Pingping was still waiting to be married.
Gao Pingping was a little confused: "Why am I looking at him like that? Did his face suddenly grow flowers?"
Zhao Xiyan was amused: "No, I have one. It is extraordinarily beautiful and delicate."
Gao Pingping smiled self-deprecatingly: "He looks in the mirror every month and knows what he looks like. I won't coax him."
Zhao Xi said seriously: "Sister Gao, don't seek to belittle yourself. Women in the world are like flowers of various colors, each with a different style. There must be someone in this world who can recognize the beauty of Sister Gao."
A tall and solemn young man's figure flashed quickly in Gao Pingping's mind, and his cheeks turned red quietly.
The pretty maid Yuan Xiang suddenly came over quickly, with an anxious and worried look on her face: "Miss, the madam has sent someone to ask the lady to return home immediately."
Something must have happened!
Otherwise, Mrs. Gao would never send someone to rush her daughter when she went out for a visit.
Gao Pingping frowned, and Zhao Xiyan smiled apologetically: "He will go back first and shut up with me when he comes back in another month."
Zhao Xiyan smiled and nodded.
Gao Pingping left in a hurry. Zhao Xiyan felt a little inexplicably heavy, so she got up and walked around the courtyard for a while.
Xu Erwu came with a solemn expression: "To report to the Crown Princess, the Crown Prince sent someone to deliver a message back. Marquis Zhongyong led the army back to Beijing and encountered a large number of bandits in the Qinghe County area. The second son of Gao Er died in the battle, and Marquis Zhongyong was seriously injured.
.”
Zhao Xiyan's expression suddenly changed.
No wonder Mrs. Gao hurriedly sent someone to take Gao Pingping back home!
"How many casualties were there in the Xiaoqi battalion? Did they repel the bandits?"
Xu Erwu sighed in a low voice: "I heard that more than two thousand people died in the Xiaoqi camp, and the bandits were repelled and fled."
The fleeing bandits are like weeds, inexhaustible. They will soon reunite and rise again.
Next year there was a snowstorm, followed by a severe drought in the north, and floods in the south. The people had no way of living and fled, abandoning their homes and businesses, and half of them became bandits. Emperor Yongming, who was still on the throne, did not think about how to save the country and the people.
, spending the month immersed in wine, sex and debauchery.
All signs are not signs of the end of the world and the destruction of the country.
Can the prince and Xu Jing really save the precarious Jin Dynasty?
Zhao Xiyan turned her head and stared silently in the direction of the palace.
…
In the palace, Fuyou Hall.
The faint king, whose eyes were green and green, and who was unsteady on his feet, summoned all the ministers of the court into the palace, and first expressed his anger: "...that Gao Peng, in vain did I place so much respect and trust in him, and was defeated by the bandit's legs.
, I was seriously injured. My face was completely humiliated by him."
Duke Dingguo's face was solemn, he took a step forward and started to chant: "Please calm down the emperor."
"The battle report said that Marquis Zhongyong led 10,000 cavalry back to the capital, but there were 70,000 or 80,000 bandits. The number of bandits was several times that of the soldiers commanded by Marquis Zhongyong."
"That defeat was not the fault of Marquis Zhongyong."
Emperor Yongming looked at each other angrily: "I gave him soldiers and paid him, but he lost the battle. If it's not his fault, is it my fault?"
Doesn't it mean that the chaos in Tiandong means that the emperor is immoral and stupid?
