Spoiling my mistress and swallowing my dowry? After my rebirth, I changed my marriage to a powerful

The beginning of the Si hour on May 16th, the ninth year of Yulong.

At the docks and restaurants, little newspaper boys were happily selling their newspapers.

"Selling newspapers, selling newspapers, it is the 30th birthday of Emperor An, and a general amnesty is being issued."

"Your Majesty has implemented a nine-year free academy program across the country. Those with excellent grades can directly enter the court's various workshops for employment and receive monthly remuneration."

"Sell newspapers, sell newspapers, and you can get a gift at the Royal Plaza."

The sun is shining brightly today. Damingfu is a northern city, so it’s neither too cold nor too hot. It’s the most beautiful May day in the world.

People bought a newspaper and shouted to each other: "Let's go to the square to get gifts and share in the joy!"

Not only the people of Damingfu who were traveling outside, but even the foreigners who came to do business, all happily brought their children to the Royal Square of Damingfu.

The Royal Square is a large garden-style square with rockery, lakes, small bridges, trees, grass, flower beds, corridors built over the lake, rest pavilions, and countless stone tables and benches for leisure and entertainment.

There are four gates in the square, and a long queue has formed where gifts are distributed.

The gift is very practical and generous. The imperial court today is not short of money.

The gifts were all packed in a bag, including candies, wedding eggs, fruits, and even hair bands and pearl flowers for girls.

The imperial court prepared the gifts two months in advance, the Ministry of Revenue allocated money, and entrusted local governments to handle and distribute them.

"Make sure to distribute it to the people on May 16th, so that all the people in the world can celebrate Emperor An's birthday."

Two months ago, Zhou Shaoyu said in the court, "If anyone dares to embezzle, even if it's just an egg, I will take his head."

Zhou Lingyin, the Minister of General Affairs, stood up and said, "The population of Yulong Country was 166,699,999 last year, so we have prepared 200 million (200 million) gifts for this time, and every citizen in the country can get one."

Other department officials: …

My goodness, when the two countries merged, Daqian only had 35 million people. How many times has it increased?

Why don't the neighboring countries come to pick a fight? We can beat one with a dozen of us!!

royal palace.

Outside Emperor An's bedroom, Zhou Shaoyu was sitting on the steps, with a child sitting on each side.

The father and his two sons were all silent.

The curtain of the bedroom was hanging, and maids kept coming in and out, and the familiar scene of carrying blood basins was replayed.

The three of them had the same expression.

Zhou Qiyuan was four and a half years old. He asked cautiously, "Father, will Mother die?"

"will not!"

"will not!"

The two people, one big and one small, replied: "It will be safe and sound."

Zhou Qiyuan looked at his father and brother, his mouth pursed for a while, and he said with red eyes: "Father, mother bleeds so much, don't ask her to give birth to brothers and sisters in the future!"

Zhou Qiheng didn't say anything. He couldn't make the decision on this matter.

Zhou Shaoyu replied solemnly: "Okay, father will not ask your mother to take risks again in the future."

In fact, he didn't want to have this baby at all. He even took star anise secretly, but Zhaozhao secretly changed the medicine for him.

After she got pregnant, he was a little angry and beat up the maid who cooked medicine and the imperial physician. Xie Zhaozhao said, "I told them to change. We need to have more children. Brothers fight tigers together, and fathers and sons fight in battle. Only brothers can support each other without any ulterior motives."

Not at all far!

A cousin is three thousand miles away, even cousins ​​are not allowed.

This pregnancy was more difficult than the previous two. Her belly was exceptionally big, so big that it frightened her.

When Xie Zhaozhao was five months pregnant, the imperial physician said she was carrying twins.

Zhou Shaoyu's face was so wrinkled.

I don’t know what happened, but after Xie Zhaozhao became pregnant, she became more and more beautiful and younger.

Zhang Yanyan was surprised and said, "Other people look older as they grow older, but Your Majesty is getting younger and younger. Your complexion and appearance are just like that of a girl of sixteen or seventeen."

Xie Zhaozhao and Zhou Shaoyu sat together, looking like father and daughter, not really like a couple.

After finally getting to the point of giving birth, Xie Zhaozhao had been so tired in the past month that she couldn't sleep day or night because her belly was so big.

Because since they got married, except for the time when Zhou Shaoyu went to fight in the northwest, they have never slept in separate beds, so Xie Zhaozhao couldn't sleep well, and Zhou Shaoyu didn't sleep well either.

He went to court every day with dark circles under his eyes.

He already looked older than Xie Zhaozhao, and now he looked even older.

Both twins were born prematurely, with the due date in June. However, they went into labor more than half a month early, and are about to be born today.

Zhou Shaoyu refused to wait in the house, and did not even go to the court.

Just sitting on the steps at the door.

He looked at the clepsydra. At this time, people all over the country should be receiving gifts with joy. If each of them said a blessing, Zhao Zhao should be rewarded.

At 10 o'clock, there was a sudden strong wind, so strong that people could not stand for a moment.

Following the wind, waves of "heavy rain" poured down from the sky on a sunny day!!

This rain is not really “falling” but “pouring”.

It's the kind that feels like a wave crashing down on your head.

Those who fail to dodge in time will be soaked like a drowned rat!

It was not the entire Yulong Kingdom that was hit by the rain, but the two large states in the eastern part of Yulong, including Daming Prefecture.

The palace was not spared either.

The royal family, father and his two sons, were standing on the steps, their robes bloated by the wind and they could not open their eyes, and then they were soaked through by the sudden heavy rain.

Then the heavy rain came in waves.

Xiu Ning hurried over with an umbrella. The father and his two sons reacted and ran into the house, and then they heard two "pop" sounds.

What fell?

Several female officials who were running in the corridor to pour water also had their basins knocked over by something with a "clang".

Deafening shouts were heard throughout the palace and outside—

"Red fish are falling from the sky~"

"Fish, fish, fish, so many fish~"

"Fish falling from the sky, oh my god..."

Zhou Shaoyu and his two sons also saw that the brick and stone courtyard outside the palace and the roofs were full of fish with their tails still flapping!

The fish scales reflected the sunlight, shining brightly.

The red fish were of fairly uniform size, all weighing more than two kilograms.

After a while, the ground was filled with the sound of "pa pa pa".

Even though Zhou Shaoyu was well-informed, he was still shocked by this situation. What was going on?

He looked up at the sky and saw a large number of fish falling down again. He quickly picked up his two sons and hid under the corridor.

Then someone came out of the delivery room and reported to Zhou Shaoyu with a smile: "Your Majesty has given birth to a prince, the third prince!"

Zhou Shaoyu twitched the corner of his mouth. Another son?

He became happy again and thought: As long as they are born by Zhaozhao, they are the best. I love all my sons and daughters and they are the apple of my eye.

He said to the two little ones, "Hurry up and change your clothes. We can hold our little brother soon."

Yuanyuan ran out again, speaking incoherently with excitement: "Your Majesty, Princess, Your Majesty has given birth to a princess!"

As soon as Yuanyuan finished her words, there was another dark "cloud" and then a flood of big red fish fell from the sky.

Zhou Shaoyu was extremely surprised.

He said to Xiu Ning who was guarding outside the door: "Go, go to the court and announce that His Majesty Emperor An has given birth to twins, a boy and a girl, and red fish have fallen from the sky to congratulate him."

Xiu Ning was so excited that he ran to the meeting hall of officials, went in, and put his hands down to suppress his excitement. Everyone was looking at him.

Xiu Ning grinned from ear to ear and said, "Did everyone see the red fish outside?"

Which official here is not a smart person? They all said immediately: "Auspicious signs from heaven, the Jade Dragon will prosper for thousands of years."

"Your Majesty Emperor An gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl."

After these words were spoken, all the officials were so happy that they almost exploded!

Auspicious signs descend from heaven, with dragons and phoenixes appearing in the sky.

So auspicious.

What are you doing? You are all the God of Literature who have descended to earth, with a pen in your hand that can stabilize the country and make powerful decisions. Why don't you write an article quickly to record this wonderful story that will be passed down through the ages?

Xiu Ning finally said, "His Majesty said that we should all have an hour off. Let's go pick up the fish. This is a blessing bestowed by the little prince and princess. Everyone should take it."

"Yeah"

They all went home to find someone to pick up the fish.

In basins, jars, and buckets, every household can pick up seven or eight fish, even those who are diligent can pick up several large jars.

Ten years after Yulong was founded, the entire Yulong Kingdom was unprecedentedly prosperous. No dynasty had ever been as prosperous as Yulong Kingdom.

Not only did the cities expand more than five times, but even in the countryside, ordinary people now had houses to live in and food to eat.

However, it is still impossible to eat fish every day. Who wouldn’t pick up the fish that falls from the sky?

Just as the delivery room was cleaned up and the nurse wrapped the two babies and held them for Zhou Shaoyu to see, there was another gust of wind outside.

After the strong wind, there was another rain.

It continued to rain fish from the sky.

This time the catch was a big golden carp.

A big golden carp weighing five or six kilograms.

The quantity is not as much as red fish, but it is dazzling enough.

This time, everyone took the lead in worshipping and thanking God. Looking at the big carp lying in the small rain puddle on the street, they couldn't believe their eyes.

Officials are more interested in golden carp.

The big golden carp brings good luck and fortune. Pick it up, raise it, and worship it.

Among the families of officials, especially the big families, which one does not have a fish pond or an artificial ornamental lake?

Pick it up and keep it!

After Xie Zhaozhao gave birth, she heard the news of the big fish falling from the sky. She looked at her two skinny children in their cradles and gently touched their little heads: "Did you two bring that fish?"

That day, there were three rains of fish.

This incident will be recorded in history forever and become an eternal wonder.

Zhou Shaoyu was overjoyed. He thought that the birth of the two babies would bring blessings to the world, so he had to change the names he had originally given them.

"The gates of the Nine Heavens are opened, and people from all nations pay homage to the emperor. As soon as my eldest princess is born, the heavens will bring great fortune and blessings to all people. I grant her the title of the Princess of the Nine Heavens."

Originally, he thought that if there was a princess, he would take the character from "君子万年，福幸之" and grant her the title of Princess Fuyi Chang. Now that the child was born, fish rained down from the sky, a blessing that is rare in the ages, so he gave her the title of Jiutian, so what!

The third prince was named Zhou Qi Ze; the princess was named Zhou Yan Yang.

On the day the twins were born, fish rained from the sky. The next day, the Yulong General Department discovered a gold mine with astonishing reserves while surveying the terrain. On the third day, Huangshazhou in the northwest, which had been dry for hundreds of years, suddenly had heavy rains. For the first time, grass and trees grew on the land that had been dry for a hundred years overnight.
