Childbearing system: The royal family is shocked to see their offspring wither away!

Hearing this, the emperor sighed, shook his head, and said with some doubt: "I don't know either. You women are pregnant, how can I, a man, know these things?"

"But the Crown Princess is a doctor, so she must know. If she said it's nothing, then it should be nothing."

The Queen also nodded and said, "That's fine. Later... I will send someone to check the Crown Princess' pulse."

"Maybe this baby is a girl, so it won't show and will grow small."

"Or maybe the Crown Princess is weak..."

"I remember when the concubines in the palace were pregnant with the royal heir, there was a noble lady named Li who didn't show her pregnancy."

"At that time, the baby was already four or five months pregnant, but I still didn't know anything was happening. As a result, the baby was small, and Concubine Li was thin, so this happened... The fetus was healthy and normal."

The emperor nodded and said thoughtfully: "That makes sense.

It may be because the child is small. "

The two of them didn't think too much about it. Apart from the fact that the child was young, they thought nothing else could have happened.

After all, the Crown Princess is a doctor and she can take the pulse, so the baby in her belly must be safe.

At this time, the emperor and the empress had not yet thought about the fact that the Crown Princess was not pregnant.

They all thought that the Crown Princess knew the situation herself.

At this time, Daiyu reported to the emperor and empress, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the Crown Princess have sent people out to hurriedly invite His Royal Highness the Ninth Prince and His Royal Highness the Ninth Prince's Princess to come into the palace."

"...Oh? Sending someone to suddenly invite the two of them into the palace, what is the purpose?"

The emperor was stunned and stuffed a piece of cucumber into his mouth.

The Queen smiled and said, "I guess these children often get together. They must be together this time when they were invited to the palace."

"You don't know, but the news that the second son was going to get married spread, so they all gathered together at the Ninth Prince's Mansion and had a meal."

"Ever since Old Nine came back, the prince always likes to invite these brothers and sisters to have dinner together."

Hearing this, the emperor nodded and smiled.

"I see, then we can have a meal together."

"In the evening, I will ask Lao Jiu and the Crown Prince to come to Fengning Palace for dinner."

He was worried that he had no way to ease the father-son relationship between himself and Jiang Zhao. Now, with the help of the prince, he could ease it.

Li Haitang smiled and said to the emperor and the queen: "I wonder... should we invite the Second Prince and Miss Zhao to the palace for a meal?"

"His Royal Highness the Second Prince and Miss Zhao are currently in the Queen Mother's Palace."

"Since the Empress Dowager is a distant relative of this Miss Zhao, Miss Zhao has been coming to the palace frequently recently to serve the Empress Dowager. The Empress Dowager likes this beautiful and sweet-talking Miss Zhao very much."

After hearing this, the emperor nodded and said with satisfaction: "Then please invite both of them over as well."

Nowadays, one more person is just a matter of one more pair of chopsticks, and two more people is just two more pairs of chopsticks. I don’t think it matters.

The emperor said to the queen happily, "My queen mother still likes this Miss Zhao very much."

The queen nodded and said jokingly, "Yes, after all, they are distantly related. My mother's favorite granddaughter-in-law is Zhining. If Miss Zhao is added, Zhining will probably fall out of favor."

The emperor nodded and said with a smile: "...But, I guess Miss Zhao needs to give birth to a few more children before Zhining can fall out of favor!"

"Our Zhining, what kind of identity is that!"

What is Zhao Qiuqiu's identity? There is simply no comparison. In comparison, I like Chen Zhining more.

Anyway...the emperor doesn't value the second prince's wife at all. The second prince can marry whoever he wants. As long as the second prince doesn't make trouble in the future, it's fine. He won't care about their family affairs.

The emperor stroked his chin and said to the queen, "By the way, when do they plan to get married?"

The queen smiled and said, "You'll have to ask the Second Prince and Miss Zhao Qiuqiu. They can get married whenever they say they want."

"In short...it won't be faster than Chen Bo and Song Yunyun."

Hearing this, the emperor nodded and said with a smile: "I don't think I'm as fast as them.

After all, they have just been engaged, so they need to spend some time together to see how it goes. If it doesn’t work out, then the will will be dropped. If it does, then we can let them get married.”

"The second prince has calmed down a lot now. He didn't like the previous second prince's wife. Now that he has married someone he likes... I guess he will be happy."

Anyway, as long as we can find a princess who can control the second prince, that will be enough.

The emperor could neither say that he was satisfied nor that he was dissatisfied with Zhao Qiuqiu.

All I can say is that the emperor has never gotten along with Zhao Qiuqiu, so he is casual about it.

But since the Queen Mother likes Zhao Qiuqiu, then this Zhao Qiuqiu is probably okay.

......

By the evening, the Crown Prince, the Crown Princess, Jiang Zhao and Chen Zhining had arrived at Fengning Palace in advance and were waiting.

To be honest, Jiang Zhao was reluctant to come, especially since they had important matters to attend to in the Eastern Palace. If they came, it would be bad if they let something slip at this time.

But the emperor insisted that they come, and there was nothing they could do.

The Crown Prince and the Crown Princess looked expressionless, and they didn't look unhappy at all.

Jiang Zhao and Chen Zhining smiled as usual and spoke to the queen with caring words.

The queen was very happy to see her precious son by her side, and said with a smile: "It's just that Pingnan is too far away from me, so now that she is not by my side, I feel very uncomfortable."

"It would be great if Pingnan could stay with me forever, but unfortunately she has to go back to her own fiefdom... But with you guys by my side, I feel much better."

The queen said to them with a smile.

Hearing this, Chen Zhining and Jiang Zhao looked at each other and said with a smile.

"If the Queen misses Princess Pingnan, just let the elder sister come back."

"My eldest sister is very decisive in her work. Just write her a letter and she will come back."

"...That does make sense."

The queen nodded with a smile and said to them, "Later, I will write a letter to Pingnan so that she can come back once a month."

She is old now and probably won't live many more years, so she plans to ask Princess Pingnan to come back and spend more time with her.

It would be great if Princess Pingnan could take the Crown Princess's medicine and get pregnant in the future.

What I can't let go of the most now is my eldest daughter. I still hope that she can have children in the future.

The Queen said to the Crown Princess with great satisfaction: "Pingnan told me before that you wrote some medicines for Pingnan to nourish her body and help her conceive..."

As they were talking, a report came from outside saying that the Second Prince and Zhao Qiuqiu had come in.

The Second Prince and Zhao Qiuqiu came in and bowed to everyone. The Second Prince smiled and said, "I didn't expect that you, Crown Prince and Ninth Brother, went to the East Palace for dinner. Why didn't you invite me?"

"......How would we know that you were also in the palace? If we knew that you were in the palace of the Empress Dowager, we would have called you."

The prince smiled and said to the second prince.

The second prince nodded, but didn't say anything else. Instead, he smiled naturally at the queen and said, "Mother, you look much better than before. I guess you are in better health now, not as weak as before!"

"...Yes, I was suffering from a lack of energy and blood before. I even felt cold in the winter. Now I feel much better."

The queen was very happy to hear that he cared about her so much. After talking to the second prince for a few words, she smiled gently at Zhao Qiuqiu beside her.

"I guess... this is Miss Qiqi."

"Miss Qiqi, I haven't seen it very often, but I just happened to see it this time."

"Miss Qiqi is indeed as pretty as a flower. No wonder my second son likes her so much and wants to marry her!"

"He looks like a quiet person."

Hearing this, Zhao Qiuqiu blushed immediately.

Zhao Qiuqiu said to the queen with a blushing face: "Your Majesty, you are too kind. Your Majesty, you are too kind."

"I am just a humble girl, not as pretty as the Empress, nor as young and pretty as the princes' wives..."

As she spoke, she lowered her head and said to the queen with a blushing face: "Queen, this is all the blessings I have accumulated in my previous life. Only now can I win the favor of the Second Prince."

Hearing this, the queen smiled and said, "She is indeed a girl who knows how to talk."

"Come on, Zijuan, give Miss Zhao Qiuqiu a seat and let her chat with us."

"Yes."

Zijuan quickly looked at Zhao Qiuqiu and found a soft stool with a thick cushion on it for Zhao Qiuqiu to sit on.

After Zhao Qiuqiu sat down gracefully like a willow swaying in the wind, she saw the Second Prince also sitting next to her.

The second prince said with a smile: "Where is the father? Why hasn't the father come yet?"

"..."

Hearing this, the queen smiled and said, "It's because your father was busy that he was delayed."

"...It's okay. If you're hungry, just eat first."

"That doesn't mean I'm hungry."

They all said with a smile.

After a while, the emperor came with Wen Le and the others.

The emperor said to the queen and the others with a smile, "I didn't expect that our Le'er has become so successful now. He has memorized these military strategies by heart."

"Although he is still not as good as your brother Wen Guang, but when Wen Guang was your age... he was about the same age as you, and was on par with you."

After all, Wen Guang was a few years older than Wen Le, so the emperor did not make too harsh demands on him.

Hearing this, Wen Le said to the emperor shyly: "Grandpa Emperor, thank you for your praise."

"But these are all taught to me by Brother Wenguang. He said he has a secret for memorizing things, so I wrote them down according to his secret. I just think it is very useful. Brother is a good person and he is willing to share this secret with me."

"Not only should you praise me, but you should also praise my brother."

Hearing this, the emperor nodded with a smile and said to the Crown Princess: "Look, your son is very polite and knows how to love his brothers. He is much better than the third and fourth princes."

The emperor thought in his heart: If Wenle ascends the throne, he and Wenguang will definitely make one the emperor and the other a wise minister to assist Wenle.

He nodded with great satisfaction, turned to Jiang Zhao and Chen Zhining and said, "Oh! You two have really raised a good child. Wen Guang is actually willing to share these methods with Wen Le."

"Now our royal family is in harmony."

He felt very happy.

After hearing these words, Chen Zhining and Jiang Zhao looked at each other, and they both smiled at the same time and said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, you are too kind. Wen Guang just did what he should do. Brothers should help each other."

"If we don't help each other, what are we called brothers? What are we called brothers?"

After hearing this, the emperor nodded with satisfaction and said to them: "Only you two teach your children in this way. If it were the third and fourth sons... I don't know how they would teach their children... That's all."

"It's no use what the dead say."

Jiang Zhao listened nearby with a blank expression on his face.

The emperor glanced at Jiang Zhao quietly, and said with a smile: "...Hey, now, I still think that family harmony is the key to success."

"I still think that the living are the most important. Don't you agree, Crown Prince, Old Nine?"

These words were obviously meant for Jiang Zhao to hear.

The prince next to him twitched his mouth and couldn't help laughing out loud.

He immediately said to the emperor and Jiang Zhao, "Father is right, father is right! A harmonious family is the foundation of everything. The most important thing is the talent."

"If the person you care about dies... no matter how much you try to make amends, it's useless. So, it's best to enjoy the present moment while you're still alive. Don't you agree, Jiang Zhao?"

Hearing this, Jiang Zhao nodded.

What this means is that he should show more filial piety to the emperor while he is still alive, and the emperor should communicate more with Jiang Zhao while he is still alive.

If this happened to the two of them, if one of them died first, then they would no longer be able to be harmonious father and son.

To put it simply, you can't close your eyes even when you die.

"!!!"

After hearing this, both the emperor and Jiang Zhao softened their expressions.

Beside him, Zhao Qiuqiu interrupted with a smile and said, "I heard that... when the Third Prince and the Fourth Prince were alive, they also had a deep father-son relationship with Your Majesty."
