The emperor did not come out of the inner room until Madam Xiao left, with a hint of heartache in his eyes.

"Did she force you to do that?"

He didn't expect that his queen was not loved by his mother.

This reminded the emperor of his unpopular childhood.

"The Emperor saw it, too."

Xiao Yan said angrily: "There are countless women in Kyoto who want to enter the palace.

Even if I don't take the initiative, I think there are many people who will take the initiative."

"Just rest assured and take care of your baby. I will take care of these things myself."

The emperor hugged Xiao Yan comfortingly, then strode away.

At first Xiao Yan didn't understand what he meant, until a few days later, when Biyu hurried back.

"Your Majesty, the Emperor has cancelled the talent show!"

"what?!"

Xiao Yan, who was drinking bird's nest, was stunned and the spoon in her hand fell into the bowl.

Does the emperor know what he is doing?

This means the draft is cancelled?

She couldn't help but feel a strange feeling in her heart. Is the emperor... doing this for her?

But when she thought of Fuso, she smiled self-deprecatingly. The emperor probably didn't want to deal with too many women.

"It's true, I just heard the eunuch on duty in front say it.

The ministers quarreled over this matter, but the emperor was firm.

Biyu was so excited when she spoke that her saliva was flying, and Xiao Yan was in a state of confusion.

She paced up and down the room, very anxious.

However, the emperor never came.

In the end, she had no choice but to make up her mind and go to the imperial study in person.

The emperor in the room seemed to be angry. Xiao Yan saw a minister walking out dejectedly.

It’s an acquaintance, it’s really her uncle, Lord Jiang.

"uncle."

Xiao Yan wanted to ask what was going on, but Lord Jiang bowed respectfully.

"I've met the Queen."

After saying that, he quickly left, making Biyu so angry that she whispered, "Didn't the uncle love the queen very much in the past?

Could it be that he is holding a grudge against the Empress because of what happened to his cousin?"

"I'll go in and take a look first."

In fact, Xiao Yan had roughly guessed the reason. She walked into the study and saw the emperor rubbing his eyebrows.

"emperor."

Xiao Yan walked over and pressed his brows. The emperor looked up and saw it was her, with a helpless expression.

"Your uncle is firmly against me canceling the draft."

Ironically, he thought it would be other people who would object.

I never expected that it would be the Queen's relative.

Xiao Yan was silent. She knew that if she spoke up for her uncle, he would definitely be unhappy.

And she was actually very curious about why he would cancel the draft...

But she didn't know how to ask.

Perhaps knowing what she was thinking, the emperor explained, “During the years when I was a prince.

Life wasn't easy, luckily I met the King of War and the Imperial Sister, otherwise it's hard to say who would take this position.

My childhood experiences have made it impossible for me to completely trust them. I thought about it.

If I didn't have so many women and heirs, perhaps I wouldn't have experienced such a tragic battle for the throne among nine sons."

In fact, he envied Jiang Wan and Song Jiuyuan for living together for the rest of their lives.

He thought it was impossible before, but now he suddenly felt that he could give it a try.

After all, he had married a queen with a good family background as the ministers wished.

After a legitimate son is born, no one can say anything more.

Xiao Yan didn't expect this to be the reason. She was silent for a moment before saying:

"The ministers will not accept this."

"You are newly pregnant. If you were to select a concubine at this time, there would be so many women in the palace and the situation would be complicated. I am also afraid that something might happen to the baby."

The emperor explained it this way, and Xiao Yan believed it.

It turns out it was for the baby in her belly.

"Yes, I understand your Majesty's painstaking efforts."

Xiao Yan corrected her position, perhaps he was just her shield.

Sure enough, within a few days, word spread throughout Dafeng that the queen was capable, and the emperor gave up the idea of ​​taking in another concubine.

There were also rumors that she was jealous and did not allow the emperor to select concubines.

These were all what Madam Xiao taught her after she entered the palace, and she was also asked to take the initiative to persuade the Emperor.

I don’t know if it’s because of the pregnancy, but Xiao Yan rarely has a rebellious mentality.

"Mother, these matters were all decided by the Emperor. I just want to give birth to the child safely."

She didn't want to think about the rest.

Hearing this, Mrs. Xiao looked at her daughter's bulging belly and said nothing more.

Xiao Yan's belly was getting bigger day by day, and the emperor was staying here with her more and more often.

Sometimes Xiao Yan would have the illusion that he also had feelings for her.

But ever since she saw the portrait of Fusang that he treasured behind his back, she forced herself to give up this unrealistic expectation.

But the closer it got to her due date, the more scared Xiao Yan became, especially since the imperial physician diagnosed that she was carrying twins.

She secretly sighed that the pills given by the princess were too effective.

Winning two at a time is the best gift she can give her.

The emperor even hugged her and said happily: "Before, Song Jiuyuan always showed off in front of me with Xiaoshu and Xinxin.

Now I will soon realize my wish.”

"How did the emperor know that they were twins?"

Xiao Yan gently stroked her abdomen with her fingertips. In fact, she liked both princesses and princes.

"I knew it."

The emperor was very excited and often took time out to walk with Xiao Yan.

But as her belly grew bigger, the emperor smiled less and less.

He consulted the imperial physician and learned that giving birth to twins was extremely risky.

He suddenly felt a little scared and quickly wrote a letter to Jiang Wan.

In this situation, perhaps only the imperial sister can help him.

However, the letter had not yet been delivered to Jiuzhou. That day, when the emperor was having lunch with Xiao Yan, Xiao Yan's stomach began to hurt.

"My lady, you are about to give birth!"

When Biyu saw the amniotic fluid on Xiao Yan's body, she was so frightened that her voice rose slightly.

"Quick, get the imperial physician and midwife ready."

The emperor anxiously carried Xiao Yan to the inner room, and everyone in the palace was in a panic.

"It doesn't hurt anymore now."

This was Xiao Yan's first time giving birth, and she was a little dazed at the moment, completely losing her usual calm demeanor.

The emperor was so angry that he laughed, "Your pain comes in waves, not this fast.

Be patient, I am always here."

"Your Majesty, please go out. Your servant is too bloody."

Xiao Yan has been proud since she was a child and did not want the emperor to see her in such an embarrassing scene.

"Your Majesty, the midwife is here."

Eunuch Zhou persuaded the emperor to leave. The midwife had been prepared long ago and lived in the palace, so she would come quickly.

But this is Xiao Yan’s first child, so it takes a long time to get pregnant.

From noon to night, Xiao Yan was a strong person and didn't say a word.

My lips are almost bleeding from biting them, and the baby hasn’t been born yet.

The emperor outside was waiting anxiously, "Why hasn't the baby been born yet?"

"emperor!"

The midwife suddenly opened the door and knelt down before the emperor.

"The queen is pregnant with twins. This is a difficult birth."

"Save her!"

The emperor gritted his teeth and almost lost his balance. It was Eunuch Zhou who supported him in time.

"Your Majesty, rest assured. Your Majesty is blessed by heaven and will definitely give birth to a little prince safely."

"She'll be fine, she will be fine."

The emperor's head was buzzing. At this moment, all he could think of was Xiao Yan's smiling and virtuous appearance.
