Chapter 97

Su Li moved to Chongzheng Hall. In order to let her sleep peacefully without having a nightmare of being a female ghost, Mingzong temporarily stopped sleeping with other concubines and slept with Su Li for several nights.

Just a few nights, when the imperial physician came to see Su Li's pulse again, he happened to encounter a wave of fetal movements.

Su Li complained to Mingzong like a spoiled person that the child has been moving frequently recently and that she would be kicked awake several times at night.

Emperor Mingzong was worried that there was something wrong with the child, so he asked Doctor Li to take a good look.

Doctor Li felt his belly through his clothes and used his palms. At first, he only stretched out one hand, but later he covered his hands.

Mingzong stared at him intently, and Wei Rong kept staring at Doctor Li's hand.

Su Li is the mother of a baby in her belly. Although she had never been pregnant with twins before, she had been pregnant with children. This time her belly bulged faster than ever before. Su Li had long doubted whether she had won the grand prize. In addition to signs of her body, genetic theory also has basis. Wei Rong's mother, Princess Shun, who died tragically under the Mingzong, had twins before her death. It was precisely this that she successfully sent Wei Rong.

Doctor Li held his breath and felt it in a concentrated manner, and said to Mingzong excitedly: "Your Majesty, the noble man is pregnant with twins!"

Mingzong was more excited than him and stood up from the chair: "Seriously?"

Naturally, Doctor Li was 80% sure to speak out, but Emperor Mingzong still called several more doctors, and in the end the doctors came to an unanimous conclusion that Su Li's fetus was twins!

Mingzong thought of Lu’s two sisters. If the three sisters of the Lu family had three sons in a row, then the nobleman might have been pregnant with two sons even more!

Before the child was born, Mingzong had already thought about it. Of course, it was good to make the two sons angry, but it would be better for the two brothers to look different, otherwise the two heirs who were exactly the same would be in trouble in the future.

Emperor Mingzong was both happy and worried, and even sat in the imperial study room, he was in no mood to review the memorials.

Wei Rong is now back to work by Emperor Mingzong, and asked when he saw this: "The noble man is happy to be pregnant with twins. Why is the emperor worried?"

Mingzong then told his confidant what he was thinking.

Wei Rong thought for a moment and smiled and said, "The dragon gave birth to nine sons, each with his own preferences. The humble minister's opinion. When the nobles give birth to twin dragon sons, the emperor does not need to rush to establish a crown prince. You can observe for a few years first, and then choose the most suitable one as the crown prince, and the other as the prince carefully raises it. In the future, the two high men will be kings and ministers, and watch and help each other."

Emperor Mingzong also knew this truth. What he was worried about was how long he could live. If he suddenly fell down one day and the crown prince was not established, what would he do to cause chaos in the court?

The military power on the frontier is in the hands of the prince-consorts. He is alive and the prince-consorts dare not have any intentions. If he dies, the prince is still young, and relying on the 400,000 imperial guards in the capital alone, it will be difficult to shock the prince-consorts army in the distance.

Mingzong had known this hidden danger for a long time, but he had no son. If the prince consorts were not arranged to guard the border, they would be replaced by an unrelated general. Once he died, it would be easier to change. Even if the prince consorts rebel, the prince consorts' legitimate son would be his grandson at least, and it would not be too cowardly.

Mingzong was disappointed that other concubines were pregnant too many times and would not consider these things too early. However, Mingzong suddenly had a strong premonition that she must have been pregnant with Long Zi.

Before she was born, the princesses were not in a hurry. Mingzong first raised Su Li's position, and the other newcomers would be promoted to Concubine Jie. Su Li was pregnant with two in one breath because of her ambition. She was promoted to Concubine Jie directly without giving birth.

At the same time, Emperor Mingzong transferred Lu Yurong's two brother-in-law to the capital to serve as officials.

Lu Yurong's eldest brother-in-law Guo Jingzhong is a military officer. He is 35 years old this year. He is burly and strong and looks honest. Judging from his experience in the army, Guo Jingzhong is suitable for being a powerful general who charges, but his strategy is not good. Someone must be behind the scenes and be in command, so he has not been promoted for so many years.

Lu Yurong's second brother-in-law Sun Han is 32 years old this year. He comes from a declining scholarly family. Because he has no background, his official position is not promoted quickly. However, his political achievements in the local area are actually very beautiful. After verified one by one, Mingzong felt that Sun Han is a talent that can be made. He joined forces with Guo Jingzhong and Gu Zhen to stabilize the capital.

However, Su Li had not yet given birth. Mingzong just summoned Guo Jingzhong and Sun Han to the capital to standby. If Su Li gave birth to a son, the two families would become successful. If Su Li gave birth to a daughter, Mingzong would drive the two families back without hesitation. Su Li, who had wasted the two sons, would also let her move back to Qiuyue Palace.

Everyone knew what Mingzong thought, and everyone was waiting for Lu Jieyu in the palace to be born.

Su Li turned a blind eye to the outside world and raised her fetus calmly with her strong psychological quality.

She also wanted to know whether the two children were male or female, but anxiety was useless and could only wait.

——

According to experience, twins will be born early.

Both Su Li and the Imperial Doctor speculated that she would launch the campaign around the Chinese New Year.

He had to maintain a certain amount of exercise before giving birth. Mingzong himself was old. He couldn't do anything to accompany Su Li for a walk, so he continued to ask Wei Rong to support Su Li for a walk, and he went to review the memorials.

It was New Year's Eve. Su Li woke up after a break, had some pastries, and wanted to go out for a walk.

The palace servants in the house were careful to serve them, and a wave of palace servants outside the house brought brooms and dustpans to clean up the bluestone road for Jieyu's walk. When Wei Rong personally helped Su Li walk out of the back hall, everything outside was as usual.

Mingzong was dealing with political affairs in front of him, and Wei Rong bent down slightly and personally supported Su Li's arm to accompany her to the small garden in the back hall to relax.

The air in winter is frozen, but it also washes away the suffocation in the room.

Su Li took a few deep breaths.

Wei Rong could walk steadily with his eyes closed. He was sure that there was no stumbling thing in the road ahead that should not exist. Wei Rong looked at Su Li's face silently.

After being pregnant for so long, her belly is the most powerful, her cheeks are slightly plump, and she is not as bloated as other pregnant concubines. Mingzong once advised her to eat more, but she joked that Mingzong would manage his country. She knows how to give birth to a child better than him. Mingzong is such a cruel person who was forced to be punished by her, and in the end she really didn't point fingers.

Mingzong slept with her for the past two months, which was called shocking the yin energy in the palace. However, when she needed to get up in the middle of the night, Mingzong slept very heavily, and Wei Rong was alert, and when he heard the movement, he got up to serve her.

Wei Rong knew better than Mingzong about her difficulties.

"Are you afraid?" Wei Rong asked in a low voice.

Su Li looked at him.

Wei Rong looked at her belly and looked back at her clear eyes: "Are you afraid of having a daughter?"

Su Li touched her big belly and smiled bitterly, "There's a little bit."

The sorrow she rarely showed made Wei Rong hold her hand tightly and get closer to her, and just said in her ear: "If it were a daughter, I would go the path in your dreams. I already knew what troubles I would encounter. This time I would work hard to sit firmly and protect your mother and daughter's safety."

Su Li's eyelashes drooped, and she asked him silently for a moment: "If that's true, the overall situation will be stable in the future. How will you arrange for us mother and daughter?"

At that time, she is the tyrant's concubine in name, and her two daughters are the flesh and blood of the tyrant. What will Wei Rong do? Let her be the concubine and move out of Gong Qingxiu for retirement, or tell the truth and give her a concubine? The latter Su Li has a great success, but how will the censors and the people discuss? Will Wei Rong add trouble to herself for free for her?

Su Li stopped and waited for Wei Rong to answer.

She was wearing a red cloak and a white and smooth face. She was not the most beautiful woman. Her clear eyes deeply attracted Wei Rong's heart.

From his birth to now, she was the only woman he had intimately contacted. He knew how soft she was when she was the softest, and how strong she was when she became strong.

If she wanted, Wei Rong would give her a title, but she had never given him any special status.

"I will give you whatever you want." Wei Rong squatted down and pretended to wipe the soil on the tip of her shoes to cover up their stay.

Su Li smiled. When Wei Rong stood up and helped her continue walking forward, she looked into the gray sky in the distance and said, "I want my son, I want to be the queen mother."

She still hopes to take this path, otherwise the hard work of these few months would be in vain?

——

On the fifth day of the first lunar month, Emperor Mingzong was presiding over the morning court. Wei Rong sent someone to report, and Su Li, who was highly anticipated, finally launched the campaign.

All the civil and military officials in the court were sensation!

Mingzong threw away the memorial and rushed to Chongzheng Hall. The ministers followed him in a scattered manner. Mingzong entered Chongzheng Hall and they were waiting outside. Some ministers, such as Yao Minzhong, the slander who likes to flatter Mingzong, actually knelt on the ground and shouted that God begged God to give the emperor a prince!

One after another, some ministers knelt down.

Gu Zhen, who is already the chief minister of the cabinet, relied on his identity and did not kneel down, but he hoped that his ex-daughter-in-law would have a son more than Yao Minzhong. Otherwise, with Mingzong's character, he would really have two princesses. Mingzong would not only drive away his daughter-in-law's two brother-in-law and sister, but would also demote him back to his hometown to farm. The former chief minister had not given up yet and had been planning to return to the court!

Gu Zhen's legs were still straight, but his heart was bent.

In the back hall of Chongzheng Hall, Su Li was lying on the delivery bed. She was very experienced and was not afraid, she was just nervous.

The lottery that she had been holding for so long was finally going to draw. Will her good luck always favor her?

From noon to evening, as the body lightened, the first lottery ball fell out!

Su Li looked at the delivery female official expectantly.

This daughter was a resident of the palace for so many years. Because the concubines in the harem have always given birth to princesses, she has never received any rewards. The stinky face of Emperor Mingzong seemed to be unable to give birth to a son, all the blame was that she was not strong enough in delivering her child. This time she was ordered to deliver Lu Jieyu. The female official asked to send her son Guanyin to bless Lu Jieyu to give birth to a prince every night, so that she would also have the opportunity to touch the reward.

As soon as the little baby got it, the female delivery officer skillfully lifted one leg of the baby and looked down...

The delivery female official's face turned green.

Su Li could see clearly and immediately lost half of her strength.

The second one is unknown how long it will take to wait, but the "good news" of the birth of the Twenty-Sixth Princess was first spread in the hall.

Mingzong's legs became weak and he fell on the chair.

Wei Rong's hand in his sleeves was clenched quietly, and his heart was divided into four parts, one worried about her, one worried about her newborn eldest daughter, one worried about the one who had not yet been born, and one was already thinking about how to appease Mingzong's anger if they were really all daughters.

Despite the disappointment, Su Li, the lottery machine, dutifully squeezed out the second lottery ball.

"Ah, this is the prince! It is the prince!"

The delivery female official who could finally get the reward was shouting happily in her warm little prince.

Su Li let out a long sigh, and the mother of Hua blessed her, her dream of empress dowager finally saw the shadow!

——

The happiest person is Emperor Mingzong. He had two sons when he was a prince, but both of them died. Now this newborn third prince has finally fulfilled his last regret in this life.

Mingzong was reluctant to let go of his son when he hugged him, so he hugged him for half an hour. It was not until the wet nurse wanted to carry the little prince to feed him that Mingzong let go of the little prince.

Wei Rong smiled and reminded him: "Concubine Jie has made great contributions, so go and have a look."

Only then did Emperor Mingzong remember Su Li and took Wei Rong in with a smile.

There was a bloody smell in the hall. Mingzong didn't like it very much. All his favor for Su Li was because of her belly. Now that the third prince was born, Su Li in Mingzong's eyes was just a weak and embarrassed mother. Just give her a reward, and it was not worth his waste of time.

After a few words of relief, Mingzong was about to leave. Before leaving, Mingzong stood beside Su Li's bed and issued an order to sign her into the imperial concubine.

A beautiful girl who gave birth to only a son could be promoted to a concubine directly. Su Li gave birth to both a prince and a princess. If she had not been a widow of the Gu family, she would have no problem with Mingzong's joy at this moment!

The author has something to say: Twins: Dad, are we just the lottery balls in our mother's eyes?
