Whose cub am I pregnant with?

Zhao Qi:? ? ?

Does this question make sense?Why did he answer such a question!

Zhao Qi looked back and forth between Rong Tang and Xiao Shiqing.These two people looked the same as usual, one was casually noble, the other was indifferent and cold.

To be honest, he should be more inclined towards Rong Tang.It was rare for the cold beauty to take the initiative to talk to him, and he really wanted to know the reason.And Xiao Shiqing's aura is too strong, every time he is alone with him, he is crushed to death.

Zhao Qi didn't answer for a long time, Xiao Shiqing urged: "Your Majesty?"

"Lord Xiao must have something important to report," Rong Tang said calmly, "Your Majesty, let's go with Lord Xiao first."

"Did the truth ask you?" Xiao Shiqing said slowly, "If you ask the emperor's question, the emperor will naturally answer it."

... Please let me go! ! !

Tangle is tangled, Zhao Qi also knows the standard answer to this question.Xiao Shiqing is the prime minister's chief assistant, and Rong Tang is his nominal male favourite, does he have a choice!

Zhao Qi Xiaoxiao said: "I choose the prime minister."

Xiao Shiqing was satisfied, "The emperor is wise."

Zhao Qi looked at Rong Tang apologetically: "Then I'm leaving."

Rong Tang didn't seem to mind his answer: "The emperor walks slowly."

Zhao Qi smiled at him, "I'll talk to you at the Zui Study later."

Xiao Shiqing's eyes froze, and he jokingly said: "The emperor is quite busy. Don't worry, Mr. Rong, the truth will let the emperor get away as soon as possible, so as not to miss your spring festival."

Rong Tang narrowed his eyebrows slightly, "Thank you, my lord."

Xiao Shiqing laughed lightly, walked away with a flick of his sleeves, stopped after walking a few steps, "What are you still doing?"

Zhao Qi let out an "oh" and followed.

Xiao Shiqing was tall and slender, and his legs were also very long. Zhao Qi took two steps to match his one step.Xiao Shiqing's pace was neither fast nor slow, and Zhao Qi didn't chase him deliberately, and kept a few steps away from him all the time.

Arriving at Qinzheng Hall, Xiao Shiqing stopped at the threshold of the hall entrance, turned around and stretched out his hand to Zhao Qi.

Zhao Qi was full of question marks, what did Xiao Shiqing want to do?Is it to hold his hand?

No... these one and two are all set up for collapse, and after Rongtang's collapse and the prime minister's collapse, he will almost suffocate.

Xiao Shiqing looked at him, "Huh?"

Zhao Qi raised his hand hesitantly, and was about to put it on Xiao Shiqing's palm, when Jiang Dehai behind him came up and said, "Don't bother the Prime Minister, come here, my servant."

Only then did Zhao Qi realize that Xiao Shiqing had just asked him to help him cross the threshold. "I don't need your help, the threshold is only so high, I can just jump over it."

"Then let's jump, Your Majesty."

Zhao Qi was speechless for a while, "...Prime Minister, there are so many people watching."

Xiao Shiqing raised the corners of his lips, "Let everyone else go down, and the emperor jumps for me to see?"

The guards guarding the door had sullen faces, and Zhao Qineng could see that they were trying to hold back their laughter.He felt that he was offended, and complained in a low voice: "Prime Minister, can't you save me some face!"

Xiao Shiqing looked down at him, "What does the emperor call me?"

"Prime Minister..." A flash of inspiration flashed in Zhao Xi's mind, he put his hands next to his mouth, stood on tiptoe, and whispered in Xiao Shiqing's ear, "Brother Prime Minister?"

Xiao Shiqing didn't respond, just let out a lazy "hmm", but Zhao Qi finally walked into the Palace of Qinzheng.

"Brother Prime Minister, what do you want me to do?" Zhao Qi said, and naturally sat down on the next seat.

There was no one else in the hall, Xiao Shiqing didn't need to worry about the dignity of the emperor, and lifted him up, "This is not your place, go sit on the dragon chair."

"It doesn't matter where I sit."

"No, there are differences between monarchs and ministers."

Oh, now that you know the difference between ruler and minister, why didn't you tell me when you asked me to jump over the threshold?Zhao Qi cursed silently, sat down on the dragon chair, "Speak."

Xiao Shiqing said: "After Longevity Day next month, you will be 19 years old..."

"Stop!" Zhao Qi said gloomily, "So it's a matter of standing up again?"

"Lihou? No." Xiao Shiqing was thoughtful, "But you reminded me."

Zhao Qi wished he could slap himself and make you feel bad. "Don't, don't let me remind you!"

Xiao Shiqing paused, "Are you very resistant to the matter of becoming a queen?"

Zhao Qi nodded.

"Why?"

"Because I want the person I like to be the queen."

Xiao Shiqing sat up slightly, "Who do you like...?"

"Rong Tang. The whole capital knows that I like him, so you don't know?"

Xiao Shiqing: "I know."

"I know that it is impossible for him to be the empress," Zhao Qi put on a heartbroken expression, "so I don't want to be an empress. Don't mention this, it will make me uncomfortable."

Xiao Shiqing was expressionless, "Since the emperor said so, I will not mention it."

Zhao Xi noticed that Xiao Shiqing resumed the address between monarch and minister, thought he was going to start talking about business, and said: "It's better for the prime minister to be considerate of me."

Xiao Shiqing smiled, "I'm not considerate enough, I will be more considerate in the future."

Zhao Qi felt that Xiao Shiqing's smile was cold, "Thank you, Prime Minister."

Xiao Shiqing raised his eyebrows.

"……elder brother."

After talking nonsense, Xiao Shiqing finally told Zhao Qi the purpose of calling him here.Zhao Qi was shocked and stood up abruptly, "What did you say?"

Holding the teacup, Xiao Shiqing took a sip of tea, "The first emperor was 16 years old, and the emperor is almost nineteen now. Do you still want to do nothing all day long and spend your whole life in a daze?"

Zhao Qibai had a small face, "You...you let me think about it."

How is this going?In the original book, there is no plot of Xiao Shiqing persuading the dog emperor to take charge of the government!All right, why did Xiao Shiqing mention this suddenly?

Zhao Xi's brain whirled, could this be testing him?

Absolutely!If he agrees to be in charge, Xiao Shiqing will definitely think that he is dissatisfied with the status quo of Xiao's power, and can't wait to take the power into his own hands.Once this point is confirmed, the ambitious Xiao Shiqing will definitely not let it go, maybe he will kick him, the emperor, from the dragon chair and replace him with a more obedient puppet.

Thinking of this, Zhao Qi's face turned paler.

Xiao Shiqing frowned, "What's wrong, but what's wrong?"

Zhao Qi grabbed Xiao Shiqing's hand, "Why did Brother Prime Minister say such a thing!"

"Ok?"

"I don't want to be in charge at all, really! I get a headache whenever I see major national affairs, I just quietly become the little emperor of the prime minister's brother..."

Xiao Shiqing's eyes were complicated, "What do you mean?"

Zhao Xi's mouth was terribly sweet: "It means that I cannot do without my brother, and my country cannot do without my brother!"

Xiao Shiqing looked at him for a long time, then smiled and said: "Does the emperor think that I am easy to deceive?"

"Oh? I'm telling the truth." Zhao Qi held Xiao Shiqing's hand and placed it on his chest, "If you don't believe me, come and feel it."

Feeling Zhao Qi's beating heartbeat like a drum, Xiao Shiqing was a little surprised.

Zhao Qiqi and Ai Ai said: "I really didn't lie to you." So don't be suspicious of me and drive me out of power!

Xiao Shiqing was quiet for a long time, and said: "You can let go."

"Oh." Zhao Qi let go of his hand and asked, "Then do you still want me to govern?"

Xiao Shiqing came back to his senses, unable to refuse, said: "Yes."

"???" Is it all in vain what I just said?

"This is what your mother meant." Xiao Shiqing said, "However, she is right. Jiang Shan's surname is Zhao, and the person sitting on the dragon chair is you. As the son of heaven, it is your duty to govern the country. "

"Having said that, Dajing is fine with you and the queen mother now, isn't it?"

Xiao Shiqing asked: "You really don't want to be in charge?"

Zhao Qi didn't hesitate at all: "I don't want to!"

Xiao Shiqing thought for a while, "Since that's the case, you can take a break with the pro-government matter." Before Zhao Qi could heave a sigh of relief, he said, "But you still have to learn what you have to learn. From tomorrow onwards, you will go to court with me."

"Huh? But I don't know how to do it."

Xiao Shiqing raised his eyebrows lightly, "I'll teach you."

Zhao Xi stopped struggling, "Okay." He had just finished the college entrance examination before crossing over, and he was only a kid with a high school level. He didn't think he had the ability to govern a country.But it would be good to get in touch with some government affairs and get to know a few more ministers.In case Xiao Shiqing wants to turn against him in the future, he will not be isolated and helpless.

"Does brother have anything else to do?" Zhao Qi asked, "I'll go back without you."

"Where are you going back?" Xiao Shiqing said, "Yonghua Palace, or Zui Study?"

If Xiao Shiqing didn't mention Zuizhai, Zhao Qi would have forgotten his appointment with Rong Tang. "Go get drunk—" Seeing Xiao Shiqing squint his eyes, Zhao Qi changed his words because of his desire to survive, "Go to the most suitable place to rest——Zhen's bedroom, Yonghua Palace."

Xiao Shiqing was about to smile, "This is what the emperor said. Come and send the emperor back to the palace."

After Zhao Qi left, Xiao Shiqing lost his mind for a while looking at the palm of his hand, then took the tea that was already cold and drank it down in one gulp.

Zhao Qi was sent out of the Palace of Qinzheng by two guards, and was about to walk towards the harem when a guard said, "Your Majesty, the Yonghua Palace is over there."

Zhao Qi was confused, "Are you here to monitor me?"

"Subordinates dare not. But the emperor said he would go back to Yonghua Palace, so you have no joke."

"..."

Jiang Dehai persuaded: "Your Majesty, let's go back to Yonghua Palace first, it's not too late to go to Zui Study."

Guard: "Your Majesty, Mr. Xiao said that the Emperor will go to court tomorrow, so it's better to rest at Yonghua Palace earlier today."

"..."

Zhao Qi suffocated and went back to the dormitory. Finally, the two guards did not follow, and let out all his anger, "This Xiao Shiqing, who cares about the sky and the earth, also cares about my male favorite!"

Jiang Dehai brought tea, "Your Majesty calm down, it's not a big deal after all."

"I won't drink it." Zhao Qi said angrily, "At first I didn't want to see Rong Tang much, but Xiao Shiqing didn't let me see him, so I must see him."

Jiang Dehai put on a bitter face, "Why bother, Your Majesty. The Empress Dowager has repeatedly asked you not to fight against the Prime Minister now, have you forgotten?"

"I haven't forgotten, I always rely on Xiao Shiqing for big things, if I still obey him in small things, I'm too useless!"

Jiang Dehai: "But now those two guards are guarding the gate of Yonghua Palace, how will the emperor get out?"

It was night, Rong Tang finished his medicine as usual and was about to go to bed when he heard a "meow meow" from outside the window.

Since when did Zuizhai have a cat, and it still meows so softly, is it a kitten?

Rong Tang took the palace lantern and walked to the window, a young man in eunuch uniform appeared in sight: "Rong Tang, I'm here!"
