When Gu Xiyan said this, she suddenly asked: "Liu Chaoyan suddenly got pregnant. Could it be that she was conceived after the death of Concubine Xian?"
If this were the case, the common people could drown Zhou Xing and Liu Chaoyan with just a mouthful of saliva.
After all, Concubine Xian was Zhou Xing's biological mother, and it was neither filial nor righteous to perform the ceremony of husband and wife just after her biological mother passed away.
Zhou Mu's eyes flashed slightly, he counted the days, and then shook his head: "She should have been pregnant before Concubine Xian died."
Gu Xiyan also silently calculated the time when Concubine Xian would die and found that Zhou Mu was right.
So there is no way to make a fuss about this matter.
The two couples did not discuss the matter again, dressed appropriately, and planned to enter the palace.
Unexpectedly, it was such a coincidence that they just left the house, and Zhou Xing and Liu Chaoyan also happened to go out.
The moment Liu Chaoyan saw Gu Xiyan, his eyes lit up and he immediately walked towards Gu Xiyan: "What a coincidence, is my sister also entering the palace?"
Gu Xiyan thought to herself that what she asked was not nonsense?
"Madam, get in the carriage." Zhou Mu didn't seem to see Liu Chaoyan and said directly to Gu Xiyan.
Gu Xiyan laughed: "I don't need your help, I can walk by myself."
"Your body is delicate and cannot be damaged in the slightest. Madam is not nervous, she is nervous for her husband."
Zhou Mu's words were harsh in Liu Chaoyan's ears.
People who didn't know thought that Gu Xiyan was the one who was pregnant. It was obvious that she was pregnant, but Zhou Xing still treated her the same as before, not even willing to give her a hand.
Zhou Xing was able to lift the ban, which was clearly due to her.
It's just that Concubine Xian didn't dare to show her face to Zhou Xing not long after she left. Zhou Xing looked particularly gloomy recently. He still had the same face, but his temperament was much gloomier than before.
"The king has just been lifted from the ban, and his actions must not be public. You must also remember this and don't cause trouble for me. Don't think that Xiyan has a good temper and will tolerate your provocations again and again!" Zhou Mu looked at the carriage Gu Xiyan was riding in.
Walk away and give a warning.
Liu Chaoyan felt aggrieved, but he did not dare to disobey Zhou Xing.
But seeing Zhou Xing get on the carriage first and not even willing to help her made her feel sad.
Brothers Zhou Mu and Zhou Xing entered the palace one after another. They first went to Yankang Palace to pay their respects to the Queen Mother. Emperor Chengde happened to be in Yankang Palace too. When he saw the Zhou brothers appearing, his eyes fell on Zhou Mu's face.
For a while.
When Gu Xiyan saw this small detail, she knew that Liu Chaoyan's pregnancy had made Emperor Chengde anxious about Zhou Mu's heir.
It has to be said that Liu Chaoyan's pregnancy put pressure on Zhou Mu. Otherwise, Emperor Cheng De would not be so anxious about Zhou Mu's heir.
According to Zhou Mu's ability, talent and learning, he is good at everything. Although he is aloof and has only been in the court for a short time, Zhou Mu is very likable.
Not only did Emperor Cheng De like Zhou Mu, but the officials of the current court also liked him, not to mention that all the famous ladies in the capital were obsessed with Zhou Mu's face.
Zhou Mu, who has absolutely no faults at all, now has something that is criticized, that is, since she got married, she, the princess, has not been able to conceive her little grandson.
Under the gaze of Emperor Cheng De, Zhou Mu's expression did not change at all. He calmly greeted Emperor Cheng De and the Queen Mother, while Gu Xiyan stood quietly beside Zhou Mu.
The couple stood together, and the scene was really eye-catching.
Zhou Xing and Liu Chaoyan followed closely behind, saying goodbye and then took their seats.
At this time, an imperial doctor came in and, at the instruction of Emperor Chengde, went to take Liu Chaoyan's pulse.
The diagnosis results showed that Liu Chaoyan was one month pregnant.
After hearing this, Gu Xiyan suddenly understood. Zhou Xing had been working hard to create humans when he first returned to Beijing. Maybe Zhou Xing knew that this disaster was inevitable, but if Liu Chaoyan could live up to his expectations, he might be able to bring him a glimmer of hope.
.
Facts have proved that this child came at just the right time, allowing Zhou Xing to walk out of the gate of Prince Qin's mansion so quickly under such harsh circumstances.
Emperor Chengde was indeed very satisfied with the arrival of this child.
Among his adult sons, King Zhao has not decided yet, Zi Mo has too much personality, and King Qin was banned because of the Zheng family. Originally, he planned to ignore King Qin for a while, but because Liu Chaoyan suddenly became pregnant, he was asked to leave on the Mid-Autumn Festival.
It was an unexpected blessing to receive a surprise.
"Since you are pregnant, you should take good care of yourself until the child is successfully delivered." Emperor Cheng De looked kindly at Liu Chaoyan.
Liu Chaoyan lowered his eyebrows and replied calmly: "What the father said is that my son will take good care of himself."
Emperor Cheng De asked Liu Chaoyan to sit back down and did some housework. From the beginning to the end, Emperor Cheng De did not say a word to Zhou Xing.
Instead, she asked Gu Xiyan to see him off before leaving. Gu Xiyan knew that Emperor Cheng De wanted to put pressure on her.
When Zhou Mu saw this scene, how could Gu Xiyan be alone with Emperor Cheng De? He followed him without hesitation: "My son, I also want to see my father off."
Emperor Chengde sneered, how could he not know Zhou Mu's plan?
The child was afraid that he would embarrass Xiyan, but he was active in protecting his wife.
A smile flashed in Gu Xiyan's eyes. At this moment, Zhou Mu pushed her aside. He took her place and walked side by side with Emperor Cheng De.
Gu Xiyan:......
Zhou Mu's obvious action also attracted the attention of Emperor Cheng De. Zhou Mu looked back calmly: "If your father has anything to say to Xiyan, you might as well say it directly to Erchen. Erchen and Xiyan are one husband and wife, and she
Her problem is her son's problem. If she doesn't do well, then her son doesn't do well..."
Gu Xiyan was afraid that he would go crazy, so she hurriedly tugged on his sleeves to tell him to restrain himself so as not to displease Emperor Cheng De.
"Then I will tell you directly. Zimo, you are not young anymore. When will you give me a little grandson?" Emperor Cheng De simply pointed out the topic.
Zhou Mu replied directly: "Didn't Princess Qin just get pregnant? With Prince Qin and Princess Qin having a baby, Xiyan and I can relax for a few more years."
Emperor Chengde slowed down and looked at Zhou Mu: "Are you sure it's enough for King Qin to have a little grandson?"
"My father has many children. In addition to King Qin, there is also King Zhao. I think King Zhao is not young anymore. It's time to marry the princess. If my father has another son and a little grandson, he will be happy." Zhou Mulian
Ironic and authentic.
Gu Xiyan pinched Zhou Mu's arm hard, hoping that he would stop saying a few words.
No matter how you say this, he is still a king. Doesn't the emperor want to lose face? Even if his most beloved son was rebuked like this by Zhou Mu, Emperor Cheng De would not be indifferent.
Not only was Emperor Chengde not angry, he turned to her and asked her, "Xiyan, do you think so too?"
Gu Xiyan glanced at Zhou Mu subconsciously. Zhou Mu was about to answer when Emperor Chengde saw through his intention: "I'm asking about Xiyan, Zimo. Let Xiyan answer me."
Gu Xiyan smiled and replied: "My husband's wish shall prevail. Since my husband does not want children now, I will respect my husband's ideas. I think that both my husband and I are still young and are not in a hurry to have children.
