Whose cub am I pregnant with?

Facing Zhao Qi's blank gaze, Xiao Shiqing calmed down a little, and couldn't help but chuckled.What's wrong with him recently, whenever he encounters something related to the little emperor, he will lose his usual sense of proportion.Could it be that he was close to Zhu Zhechi and was inadvertently influenced by the bluffing little emperor.

Zhao Qi tilted his head to look at him, "Brother?"

"Nothing." Xiao Shiqing glanced at the unfinished flower in Zhao Qi's hand, "Like it?"

"Oh, I don't know who sent it, so I put it at the door." Zhao Qi tore off the last petal, said "no life" in his heart, and threw the bare branches into the wastebasket at will, "it looks beautiful The mood of the flowers will also improve."

Xiao Shiqing said: "Very ugly."

Zhao Qi scratched his head, "I think it's okay?"

Xiao Shiqing sat down opposite Zhao Qi, "The emperor's stomach seems to be getting bigger."

Zhao Qi covered his face: "Brother, don't talk about it." Ever since he started to show his pregnancy, his belly has been visibly getting bigger day by day, but he hasn't grown much flesh in other parts of his body. In order not to make this matter known to everyone, He seldom goes out—although anyone who knows him now can set up two tables of mahjong.

The corner of Xiao Shiqing's mouth raised slightly, "It seems that the little princess is living very well in the emperor's stomach."

Zhao Qi rested his chin on the newly moved table and sighed: "Yes, I still like to kick me when I have nothing to do."

Xiao Shiqing thought for a while and said, "Stand up."

"What is brother going to do?"

Zhao Qi stood up with his stomach straight, Xiao Shiqing patted him lightly, "Okay."

Zhao Qi: "?"

"I told her, tell her to be more obedient and kick you less."

Zhao Qi laughed loudly with a "poof", "You treat me like a fool."

Xiao Shiqing nodded, "Yes."

Zhao Qi's smile gradually disappeared, and he said expressionlessly: "It turns out that I have always been a fool in the prime minister's heart."

Xiao Shiqing said meaningfully: "Even if you are a fool, there are many people who want to rob me."

"……Hey?"

Xiao Shiqing grabbed Zhao Qi's hand, helped him to sit down, and said casually, "Li Chisu wants you."

"Oh?!"

"He Changzhou likes you too."

"...I know."

Xiao Shiqing's tone gradually became a little sour, "Rong Tang, whom you loved so much in the past, also likes you."

"Yes."

Xiao Shiqing raised his eyes and looked at Zhao Qi who had a puzzled face, "So, what do you think? These three people are rare in the world in terms of talent and appearance," Xiao Shiqing said slowly, "Don't you think so? tempted?"

Zhao Qi said without hesitation: "Don't be tempted."

A smile flashed in Xiao Shiqing's eyes, "Really, if they don't ask you to treat each other wholeheartedly, but only ask you to have them in your eyes, even if they are willing to rank behind others in your heart, what will you do?"

"It's easy!" Zhao Xi patted the table and said, "I will make Rongtang the concubine Shu and Changzhou the noble concubine. As for Li Chisu... I still don't want it."

Xiao Shiqing: "Hehe."

Facing Xiao Shiqing's eyes as cold as hell, Zhao Qi was full of desire to survive, and hurriedly said: "Brother, did you think I would say that? It's a big mistake! I feel guilty towards Rong Tang, and I treat He Changzhou as a brother. This is even more so that I never have a name, so I don’t want to give it away for nothing.”

Xiao Shiqing's face turned pale, he took a sip of tea, and said lightly: "What about me? What do you think of me?"

Zhao Qi hesitated for a moment, but couldn't find an appropriate way to describe Xiao Shiqing's position in his heart.

Treat Xiao Shiqing as an older brother?No, although he said "brother" every time, it was because he had to yell because he wanted to hug his thigh, and it was difficult to change his mouth after he got used to it.The real brotherhood should be like that between him and Zhao Qiao. He himself doesn't believe that he regards Xiao Shiqing as his brother.

Are they a relationship between monarchs and ministers?Hurry up, what pair of monarchs and ministers can be like them.

Then he treats Xiao Shiqing as the child's father?Be a cannon, friend?This is even more unreasonable, until now, whenever he recalled the sporadic images of that night, he wanted to spend a lot of money to buy a brain that could not remember anything.

"My brother and I are," Zhao Qi tentatively asked, "The friendship between gentlemen is as light as water?"

Xiao Shiqing sneered, "It turns out that the friends of gentlemen will go to bed and have a big belly. I have learned a lot."

Zhao Qi was speechless for a while, and couldn't help complaining: "My brother came to see me at night, just to ask these boring questions?"

"Not only." Xiao Shiqing said, not knowing whether it was true or not, "I came to discuss state affairs with the emperor."

"What do you say."

"Has your majesty forgotten, you and I are going to bed when discussing state affairs?"

Zhao Qi: "..."

The two lay side by side on the bed, Xiao Shiqing briefly talked about Jiang Xia's situation.

The disaster has been barely brought under control, and the number of people affected by the disaster in Jiangxia will not increase for the time being, but how to resettle the displaced people is also a problem.Residential houses were flooded, and the victims slept in the open without food. They gathered in one place for a long time, fearing that a plague would break out.

"However, this matter can be left to Pang Dai." Xiao Shiqing said, "As a prefect of a county, he can't rely on the court to help him solve everything. So when the rain stops, I will take you back to Beijing."

"Going back to Beijing now?" Zhao Qi asked in surprise, "We still have a lot of places to go."

Xiao Shiqing turned sideways and touched his stomach, "Where can you go like this?"

"……All right."

"There is another matter. The banks of the Huaihe River have suffered from floods all year round. If this matter is not completely resolved, it will be difficult for the treasury to be filled. It will be a hindrance for the Northwest War in the future."

Speaking of this, Zhao Xi thought of something: "Li Chisu said that he knew a water control expert who lived in seclusion in the suburbs of Jiangxia, and I have ordered him to invite him here."

Xiao Shiqing said: "If I'm not wrong, the man he said was able to control water is surnamed Yu, named Shen Shui, a famous scholar in Jiangxia, who knows everything about astronomy and geography, and has a lot of experience in water control."

Zhao Qi also turned over, facing Xiao Shiqing and said, "Brother knows him?"

"Well, I have heard people recommend him too much, and I have sent people to invite him to be an official in the court twice. The first time, he refused to accept the imperial edict on the grounds of his serious illness; the second time, he ran away. Without a trace. I heard that he travels around the world and only returns to Jiangxia once a year or so, so Li Chisu may not be able to see him."

"Let him try." Zhao Qi was a little sleepy, rubbing the corners of his eyes and said, "It would be a pity if this kind of talent is unwilling to serve the court."

"En." Xiao Shiqing reached out and hugged Zhao Qi into his arms, "Go to sleep."

Zhao Qi buried his head in Xiao Shiqing's chest, and asked, "Brother, why don't I change my posture?"

"Why?"

"If you sleep like this, my stomach will hit you."

"I'm happy to be carried by her."

"……All right."

The next day, the rain that had been raining for several days finally stopped.The dark clouds dispersed and the sun hung high, making Zhao Qi feel much happier.

Cheng Boyan and Mei Chuan came together to ask for his pulse.Cheng Boyan said: "The dragon egg in the emperor's womb is bigger than a normal fetus of the same month. I'm afraid that there will be a risk of dystocia in childbirth in the future."

Zhao Qi was stunned, "It's true! Then should I eat less?"

"Paying attention to diet is one aspect. On the other hand, walking around more on weekdays is also helpful for smooth delivery."

"Oh." Zhao Qi took out a small notebook and wrote it down, and suddenly stopped writing in the middle: No, he hasn't decided to give birth to the dragon egg yet, so why should he write it down?

Mei Chuan said: "I also have a good plan to make the emperor's delivery easier."

"Miracle Doctor Mei, please tell me."

Mei Chuan took out a brocade box and presented it to Zhao Qi, "Please take a look, Your Majesty."

"What is this?" Zhao Qi opened the brocade box, and inside was a crystal clear, long cylindrical one with a slightly thicker and rounded top...

Zhao Qi closed the wooden box with a "snap", and said with a blushing face, "Master Mei, you will be sanctioned by my anti-pornography team and I will tell you if you mishandle this kind of thing."

"Your Majesty misunderstood, this is for the Emperor's good." Mei Chuan said logically, "This object is made of warm jade, and putting it into the body can expand and massage the birth canal..."

what what?B?What do you mean, didn't he have a caesarean section? Could it be...

Zhao Qi realized something, and his body shook.

No, he doesn't accept it!

"I don't want this dragon egg!!!"

Cheng Boyan glanced at Mei Chuan, frowned slightly, and stopped talking.

Jiang Dehai put the brocade box away silently, taking care of his old mother, and did not forget to remind: "Your majesty, keep your voice down, in case the prime minister overhears..."

"Then let him hear it!" Zhao Qi said angrily, "Because of whom did I become like this!"

Jiang Dehai persuaded: "If this matter is really helpful for the emperor to give birth in the future, you can ask the prime minister to help the emperor."

Zhao Qi's eyes widened, "Are you crazy or am I crazy?"

"What do you want me to do?"

Zhao Qi: "..."

Xiao Shiqing walked in, glanced at the people present one by one, and finally fell on Zhao Qi, "Your Majesty?"

Zhao Qiqiang smiled happily, "Cheng Boyan said that walking more will help with childbirth, and I want the prime minister to take me out for a walk."

Xiao Shiqing turned to Cheng Boyan: "Really?"

Cheng Boyan even claimed it was.

Since arriving in Jiangxia, the little emperor basically stayed in the inn and didn't go anywhere. He was really bored.Moreover, his stomach can barely see now, and when it grows completely in the future, it will not be able to go anywhere.Thinking of this, Xiao Shiqing said: "Then change your clothes."

"Oh?!" The surprise came too suddenly.

In order not to disturb the people, the two changed into ordinary clothes and took a few people into the street.

After the rain, the sky cleared up, and the air was quite clear. People who had been at home for a long time went to the streets to buy. Jiangxia hadn't seen such a lively scene for a long time.

Zhao Qi walked beside Xiao Shiqing, looking at his profile, he was inexplicably upbeat.It suddenly occurred to him that this seemed to be the first time he and Xiao Shiqing went shopping together among the people.

Xiao Shiqing wore a black singlet today, his eyes were as deep as pools, and his appearance was imposing. Even if he was hidden from the world, it was difficult to conceal his aura of a high position.Probably only his appearance in this world can be described with the word "luxury".Thinking that the dragon egg in his belly had half of Xiao Shiqing's genes, Zhao Qi felt that it would be a pity not to be born.

"What are you looking at?" Xiao Shiqing asked.

Zhao Qi withdrew his gaze with a guilty conscience, "No, I didn't see anything. The things on that stall are quite interesting, brother, shall we go and have a look?"

Xiao Shiqing nodded, "Okay."

The street vendor knew that a distinguished guest was coming when he saw the two people's clothes, and said with a smile on his face: "The two guests can choose whatever they want, and look at them casually. The things I have here are of high quality and low price. You can't be fooled if you don't buy them. ..."

In order to resolve the embarrassment of licking his face just now, Zhao Qi pretended to look at it.Most of the stalls sold cheap gadgets, a bit like the two-dollar stores he had seen in the past.After a few glances, he lost interest, turned his head and said, "I don't have anything to buy, brother..."

I saw Xiao Shiqing standing in front of the booth, looking down at an object, thoughtful.

Zhao Qi followed his gaze - it was a red, rustic tiger head hat specially worn by children.

Zhao Qi, who is not quite used to this kind of aesthetics: "...don't even think about wearing something like this for your daughter, thank you."

The author has something to say: Sha Qi: What?Is it a son?Wear it casually, it's cute. 【Smile】
