Whose cub am I pregnant with?

Zhao Qi and the others left Chunfeng Pavilion and joined the crowd.

Zhao Qiao led the way.Being dubbed the "King of Force", he was so happy that he couldn't find the north, and he would drift when he walked.

Rong Tang and Zhao Qi walked side by side, even though their temperaments were alienated, they also attracted the attention of countless men and women, "It's a big deal to be crowned king, is the emperor serious?"

Seeing Zhao Qiao walk out with steps that his relatives did not recognize, Zhao Qi couldn't help but said, "Seriously."

"Even so, the title should be drawn up by the Ministry of Rites."

"Believe me, there is no word that suits him better than 'force'."

"...as long as the emperor is happy."

"Brother," Zhao Qiao said, "there is an opera garden in front of it, and Hua Dan is a famous actor in the capital. I heard that many famous young men are jealous of him. Shall we go and see?"

"No," Zhao Qi's attention was attracted by the food stalls on the street, "I want to eat candied haws."

Xiao Songzi said: "My lord, let's not eat indiscriminately outside, shall we?"

Zhao Qi automatically ignored Xiao Songzi's words, "I'm going to buy two skewers, you are waiting for me here."

Xiao Songzi hurriedly followed, "My lord, wait for me—"

Zhao Qiao and Rong Tang were left in place.Not long ago, Zhao Qiao tried to administer medicine to Rong Tang, but Rong Tang took the medicine himself, causing him to be "beaten severely".Because of this matter, Zhao Qiao didn't have a good impression of his brother, a male favorite, and now he got the opportunity to be a little bit weird.

"Your Majesty took Young Master Rong with him when he left the palace. It seems that Young Master Rong still holds some weight in the Emperor's heart."

Rong Tang looked at Zhao Qi not far away who was concentrating on picking candied haws, as if he couldn't hear him.

Zhao Qiao sighed pretentiously, "That's right, if the best friend is not by my side, I can only let the former best friend be with me."

Rong Tang finally had a reaction, "What do you mean?"

Zhao Qiao gloated, "It means that the emperor already has someone he likes more, so you can do it yourself."

Zhao Qiao waited for Rong Tang to ask who that person was, but Rong Tang just said lightly: "Oh."

Zhao Qiao was dissatisfied with Rong Tang's reaction, and continued: "The emperor really likes him, and even gave him a very, very precious tonic."

Rong Tang's eyes moved slightly, "The medicine..."

"That's right!"

Rong Tang suddenly thought of something, and asked a little eagerly: "If you take Sauvignon Blanc and have no crush on someone, who will he see?"

Zhao Qiao was puzzled, "Then you won't see the wrong person, whoever sees it is the one around you."

Rong Tang gasped for breath, his fingertips hidden in his sleeves trembled uncontrollably, what Zhao Qi said back then was still in his ears——

"All of this has nothing to do with Fengyue, it all comes from my... guilt towards you."

"I'm pretty sure I don't think that way about you."

"I just want to be alone."

……

He was clearly in a bustling street market, but he couldn't hear the slightest noise; the passers-by in his field of vision were all phantoms, only the light yellow figure was real.

After an unknown amount of time, the pain in his shoulder brought him back to consciousness—a passerby in plain clothes bumped into him.

"Why are you in a daze?" Zhao Qiao said, "You don't even know you were hit by someone?"

Rong Tang glanced at the note stuffed into his hand, his eyes were dim.

Zhao Qi came back with a bunch of candied haws. Seeing that Rong Tang's expression was not right, he asked, "What's wrong with you?"

Rong Tang settled down, "It's nothing, just a little tired."

"Then let's go back to the palace, it's almost time."

Rong Tang asked: "Is candied haws delicious?"

Zhao Qi licked it, "It's a little sour."

Looking at the young man in front of him, Rong Tang felt sour in his heart, "Next time I'll eat something sweet."

At the corner of the street, the plain-clothed man who bumped into Rong Tang just now watched the people go away, then turned and walked into a teahouse - where Xu Zijing had been waiting for a long time.

The man said: "Sir, the letter has been delivered."

Xu Zijing nodded slightly, "Okay, thank you for your hard work."

"Sir, will Mr. Rong really help the prince?"

"My lord and Mr. Rong have known each other for many years and have a very strong relationship. Maybe we can give it a try."

Although the man was very worried, he couldn't think of any other way. "At the beginning, the prince wanted to go to Beijing, but I didn't approve of it—it was clearly a sheep entering the tiger's mouth! Now Xiao Shiqing put the prince under house arrest in Beijing on the grounds of the prince's Yu Duqing, and all the generals in the north are violent. Bring troops to the capital to snatch the prince back..."

"You absolutely must not!" Xu Zijing said, "You leave the capital immediately at night and return to the northern border. You must not let them act rashly. It is far from the time to raise troops. Once there is any change in the northern border, the prince's life will be lost!"

The man said unwillingly: "Should we just watch the prince fall into the hands of the foolish king?"

Xu Zijing stroked his beard and said: "Xiao Shiqing is wary, as long as the status quo is maintained, he will not do anything to the prince. Give me some more time, and I will definitely find a way to bring the prince back."

On the way back, Rong Tang didn't say much all the way.Zhao Xi had a lot of troubles, he was too busy to take care of himself, and he didn't even bother to pay attention to him.

The carriage stopped directly at the gate of Yonghua Palace, Zhao Xi said: "Then I will go first."

Rong Tang stopped him, "Your Majesty."

"what's wrong?"

There were thousands of words hidden in Rong Tang's eyes, but in the end he only said one sentence: "Rest early."

The weather was getting hotter day by day, and Zhao Qi's "condition" not only didn't get better, but got worse.

"Ouch—" Zhao Qi vomited dizzily and almost collapsed, all thanks to the "Xiaohe Changzhou" in his stomach.

Xiao Songzi handed over the handkerchief, and said: "When will this vomit, it's only been a few days, the emperor is so thin that his chin is pointing."

Cheng Boyan said: "Mind-joyment is inevitable, the emperor bears with it, and it will be all right in a month."

After Zhao Qi wiped his mouth, he lay down on the bed, like a stranded fish, he didn't even bother to speak.

Jiang Dehai came in to announce: "Your Majesty, the prime minister is here."

Xiao Shiqing walked to the bed, looked at the little emperor limply, and forced a smile to him: "Brother is here."

Xiao Shiqing narrowed his eyes and said coldly: "Cheng Boyan."

"Wei Chen is here."

"Didn't you say that as long as the emperor cultivates well, he can be cured." Xiao Shiqing bent over and touched Zhao Qi's cheek, "Is this called recovery?"

Cheng Boyan panicked and said, "This..."

"Prime Minister, it's not the imperial physician's fault." Zhao Qi said weakly, "Don't blame him."

Xiao Shiqing waved his hand, Cheng Boyan and Xiaosongzi looked at each other, lowered their eyes.Xiao Shiqing sat down beside the bed, "Don't go on the southern tour, stay in the palace to recuperate."

Zhao Qi blurted out: "No."

"You are like this, how can you go?"

"I can go," Zhao Qi struggled to sit up, and put his hand on Xiao Shiqing's lap inadvertently, "I'm sick because I've been bored in the palace for too long, if my brother doesn't let me out of the palace, my condition will definitely get worse .”

Xiao Shiqing grabbed his wrist, "You want to go that way?"

Zhao Qi nodded, "If I won't go, will my brother go alone? I can't be separated from my brother."

Xiao Shiqing raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "Why are you suddenly clinging to someone?"

Zhao Xi said with a guilty conscience, "I've always been like this."

Xiao Shiqing was really worried about putting the little emperor somewhere he couldn't see. "The emperor is trying to get better." Xiao Shiqing let go of Zhao Qi's hand, and patted his lower abdomen lightly, "Eat more, and get back fat."

This careless movement made Zhao Qi's abdomen tighten instinctively, "...um."

Zhao Qisheng was afraid that Xiao Shiqing would really keep him in the palace, so he tried to overcome his nausea and take more supplements.

The day before the southern tour, Zhao Qi and Empress Dowager Wen had lunch together.Empress Dowager Wen didn't like the humid and hot climate in Huai River, so she didn't plan to go with them.She told Zhao Xi, "Xi'er, there are many mosquitoes in the Huai River. If you have nothing to do, you can stay in the dragon boat and the palace, and leave the inspection of the disaster to the subordinates."

Zhao Qi agreed one by one, "The queen mother should also take care of the phoenix's body. It's so hot now, if the queen mother can't stand it, she can go to the Xuchun Garden to escape the heat."

Empress Dowager Wen waved her hand, "I'm getting older, and I'm lazy, and I don't want to go anywhere. When it comes to Xuchun Garden, the Ai family thinks of someone."

"The queen mother said, sister Jiayan?"

Empress Dowager Wen nodded, "Seeing that King Zhaonan is about to leave Beijing, the marriage between Jiayan and him has not yet been settled."

A few days ago, Li Chisu entered the palace to bid farewell, Zhao Qi was still ill, it was Xiao Shiqing who saw him and approved his request to return to the fiefdom.

Zhao Xi didn't take it seriously, "If you don't have it, you don't have it. Li Chisu is not suitable for Jiayan, let him go back and marry a girl from Nanzhou."

Empress Dowager Wen glared at him, "I've learned to sit in court and manage politics, but my heart is still so big. According to Ai's family, they should find a reason to keep Li Chisu in the capital just like they did with King Huai, otherwise they will not think of Nanzhou. There are tens of thousands of elites, and the Ai family can't even eat well."

"Mother, don't worry, the prime minister said, 'If you are in a hurry, you will unite, and if you are slow, you will leave'. Contrary to the court. On the contrary, if one party is allowed to relax his vigilance, he will definitely sit back and watch the success or failure honestly, and will never interfere in the affairs of the court and other parties."

Empress Dowager Wen was dubious: "The Prime Minister told you so?"

"Yeah, otherwise I said it myself, the queen mother thinks I can say such a thing?"

Empress Dowager Wen: "That's true. Forget it, just listen to the prime minister."

In July, Zhao Qi started his first southern tour in his life.Although the dragon boat was not what he had imagined, it was still carved with beams and painted buildings, with extraordinary style, more than twice the size of other boats.

During this southern tour, Xiao Shiqing ordered a group of confidant ministers to accompany him, while Zhao Qi only brought Zhao Qiao and Rong Tang along with him besides the attendants.

The dragon boat went down the river, which was much faster than going by land, and it left the capital before sunset.

In the evening, the heat subsided a lot, Zhao Qi got out of the boat, the wind was blowing on the deck, the river breeze was slightly cool, and it felt refreshing and pleasant on his body.

Zhao Qiao, who was accompanying him, looked at the sparkling river and suddenly laughed.

Zhao Qi said contemptuously: "What did you think of, you laughed so nastyly?"

Zhao Qiao laughed and said, "Has the emperor ever tried to make love with a beauty on a boat?"

Zhao Qi: "..."

A low laugh sounded behind him, "Young Master Zhao, what you mean is that the boat is swaying on the river, and the people in the boat are turning upside down?" Xiao Shiqing walked towards the two, "Your Majesty."

Zhao Qiao said pleasantly: "I didn't expect that the prime minister is also a fellow."

Zhao Qi was a little surprised, "Did the Prime Minister try it?"

"No." Xiao Shiqing paused, "The emperor wants to try?"

Zhao Qi categorically denied it, "No way!"

The corners of Xiao Shiqing's lips curled up, and he seemed to be in a good mood.

"Then the emperor and the prime minister can take this opportunity to give it a try," Zhao Qiao said meanly, "it can save a lot of effort."

Xiao Shiqing said with great interest: "Why do you save effort?"

"Hahaha, isn't the prime minister asking this knowingly!"

Zhao Xi finally understood that as long as straight men get together, Huang Qiang may be late, but he will never be absent.

Xiao Shiqing said: "The emperor doesn't speak, what is he thinking?"

Zhao Qi said solemnly: "I want to set up a special government office, called the 'Anti-Pornography Department', to suppress people with dirty mouths, what does the Prime Minister think?"

Xiao Shiqing: "..."

Zhao Qiao thought that Zhao Qi was serious, and risked his life to remonstrate: "Your Majesty, are you going to be suppressed if you just talk casually? Aren't those who draw pornographic pictures going too far?!"

Zhao Xi was thoughtful, "Then I can set up another official office, which is called... the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television."

An internal official stepped forward, holding an emergency report in his hand, "Your Majesty, Prime Minister, this is an urgent report from Xizhou."

Xiao Shiqing took a look and said, "Xi Xia has already withdrawn its troops."

"Happy event." Zhao Qi said excitedly, "much faster than I imagined."

Zhao Qiao helped Zhao Qi think about the pregnant woman on the battlefield, and asked, "Then, can Little General He return to court?"

"Huh? This is..." Xiao Shiqing took out an envelope from the notebook, his eyes raised slightly, "He Changzhou's letter to the emperor."
