The reborn beauty is pregnant again and again

The emperor and empress were all focused on Xiao Chenyan. Perhaps because the gap was too big for the second prince, he went to the border in anger and never came back, leaving only Xiao Jinghui as the bloodline.

The death of the second prince made the emperor and empress feel guilty, so they doubled the compensation to Xiao Jinghui. Xiao Jinghe, like Xiao Chenyan, was also raised by the emperor and empress, and they had a very deep relationship.

The emperor lying on the bed finally woke up: "Yan'er..."

"Father!" Xiao Chenyan hurried over and knelt down, holding the emperor's hand tightly.

"Father doesn't have much time left..." The emperor forced a smile.

Since ancient times, emperors have always feared life and death, and so did he. But when this day came, he realized that no matter whether it was an emperor or an ordinary citizen, it was the same, and what was supposed to come would still come.

"I have already made an imperial decree..." The emperor coughed a few times. He held Xiao Chenyan's hand tightly, "I will leave the country to you in the future. Father is very relieved. You have been smart and decisive since you were young."

The emperor looked at Xiao Chenyan as if he was looking at a masterpiece he had carefully crafted. Xiao Chenyan was indeed well trained by him.

Xiao Chenyan was proficient in both civil and military strategies, and had been able to help the emperor handle state affairs many years ago.

"Hui Er"

"Grandpa Emperor..." Xiao Jinghe also knelt in front of him.

The emperor looked at his eldest grandson and said, "You are a good child. You must assist your uncle and be a wise prince in the future."

Xiao Jinghui nodded while crying: "Grandpa Emperor, your grandson knows."

Xiao Jinghui knew since he was a child that with so many uncles around, it would naturally not be the turn of him, a grandson, to inherit the throne.

"You are already eighteen years old. Grandfather Emperor has not yet arranged your marriage. Do you have a favorite woman?"

Xiao Jinghui shook his head: "Grandson doesn't have it."

The emperor held his hand and said, "Then I will arrange a marriage for you. This way, I can rest assured in my grave."

The second prince, whom he and the queen raised personally, died many years ago, leaving behind only this bloodline. Xiao Jinghui was one of the concerns of the emperor and empress.

"Okay, my grandson will listen to Grandpa Huang."

After the emperor finished speaking, he set his eyes on Xiao Chenyan again: "Yan'er, I plan to appoint two concubines for you, the eldest granddaughter of Li Gelao, and the youngest daughter of Sun Taishi. If you want to sit in that position, you need to get close to and win over the court officials, and taking them as concubines is one of the means."

Of course, this is also the most convenient method.

The emperor originally wanted to wait, but his body couldn't hold on that long.

Jiang Nanqiu clenched his hands tightly under his sleeves, and there was a hint of bitterness in his heart.

In today's world, it seems to be very common for a man to have three wives and four concubines, let alone someone of Xiao Chenyan's status.

But Jiang Nanqiu didn't know why she was very reluctant. She couldn't help but look up at Xiao Chenyan. Would he reject the emperor for her?

Xiao Chenyan also happened to turn around and look at Jiang Nanqiu. He saw her pale face. She also looked a little nervous.

Xiao Chenyan's heart tightened: "Father, I don't want to take a concubine for the time being."

In fact, Xiao Chenyan had never thought of taking a concubine in his life, but because he was concerned about his father's health, he did not say anything definite.

In fact, if he hadn't met Jiang Nanqiu, he probably would never have married in his life.

He has Jiang Nanqiu alone, that's enough

"Why is that?" The emperor was puzzled. "But is it Princess Gu Nian?"

Although the emperor and the empress were deeply in love, he had also taken in many concubines over the years, and he did not think there was anything wrong with it.

"It was my own will, and it had nothing to do with the princess. Before I met the princess, I didn't want to get married. Marrying the princess was completely an accident."

The emperor also thought of this, and he sighed, "You were a prince before, but you will be an emperor in the future. As an emperor, you may seem to be in a high position and have great power, but in fact, you have to make many trade-offs and cannot do whatever you want. Even I am like this, let alone you!"

Xiao Chenyan said, "I know. But I believe I have the ability to control the court and do not need to involve the harem."

"And even if I go to them, I won't touch them. They will have to live as widows for the rest of their lives. If we marry them, it will end up being an enemy. It's really not worth it."

The emperor changed his mind only after hearing what he said, because he knew Xiao Chenyan's character well, and no one could force him to do something he didn't want to do.

"Forget it, I'll just do as you say. You've been stubborn since you were little, and I don't know who you took after. I'm not too worried about the government affairs, as you should be able to handle it. I'm just worried that you won't have enough children." At this point, the emperor's face was full of regret, "I'm afraid that I won't be able to see your children in my lifetime."

He himself is not ambitious, and his son is not interested in women. He just got married at this age. Who knows what will happen to his offspring in the future?

"My son and I will work hard. We are both young and healthy, so we will definitely have children."

The emperor nodded, he knew that offspring could not be forced.

"If you have children in the future, bring them to my grave and let me take a good look at them."

Xiao Chenyan nodded with sobs.

After the emperor took the medicine and lay down, he left only the queen inside while everyone else left.

After Jiang Nanqiu went out, he felt Xiao Jinghui looking at him from time to time.

Just then Xiao Chenyan noticed it and looked over.

"Uncle Emperor."

"What are you looking at her doing?" Xiao Chenyan asked.

Being caught, to be honest, Xiao Jinghe was embarrassed. However, in order to avoid misunderstanding, he could only speak honestly.

"Uncle, you rejected Grandfather's arrangement today. I am just curious about what kind of stunning woman could make you so infatuated."

Seeing that he was just curious and had no ill intentions, Xiao Chenyan didn't care.

After talking for a while, they went their separate ways. Jiang Nanqiu followed Xiao Chenyan to his residence in the palace.

His residence was the residence of the crown princes of all dynasties. Xiao Chenyan used to live here, which was enough to show the emperor's intention.

He held Jiang Nanqiu in his arms: "Are you scared today?"

Jiang Nanqiu shook her head: "With Your Highness here, I won't be scared." Jiang Nanqiu hugged him back and said, "Your Highness, don't worry too much. Father...will get better." However, even Jiang Nanqiu herself felt that her last words were so pale and powerless. But at this moment, she didn't know what to say to comfort Xiao Chenyan.

Xiao Chenyan hugged her tightly without saying a word. He seemed to draw strength from her body: "This king knows."
