Whose cub am I pregnant with?

Xiao Shiqing's words can be said to hit the nail on the head.

In other matters, Zhao Qi has always believed in him. He believes that every decision made by Xiao Shiqing is beneficial to the country's overall plan.But Xiao Shiqing said that he likes him very much... For this, he only wants to say one word: "Oh."

Zhao Qi believed in He Changzhou's liking for him, in Rongtang's paranoia towards him, and even in Li Chisu's interest in him, but he didn't believe in Xiao Shiqing.

Maybe Xiao Shiqing really likes him that much, this kind of love is probably like the owner's love for pets, offering delicious food and drink, teasing, touching and kissing him when bored... No, Xiao Shiqing Haven't kissed him seriously yet.

Zhao Qi said perfunctorily: "I believe, I believe you, are you satisfied? Can I let me sleep?"

Xiao Shiqing grabbed Zhao Qi's wrist unexpectedly, "Don't lie - tell me why you don't believe me."

"Do you really want to listen?"

"Ah."

Zhao Qi said indifferently: "But I don't want to say it."

Xiao Shiqing's face darkened slightly, "I don't want you to hide something from me."

Zhao Qi retorted: "You have kept too many things from me, why should you ask me to tell you everything?"

Xiao Shiqing was startled.Such a strange little emperor made him restless, but he was helpless.He has many methods to pry open a person's mouth, but he is reluctant to use any of them on Zhao Qi.

Xiao Shiqing tried his best to analyze calmly: "Because I don't treat you as the emperor, so you are angry with me. Do you want me to treat you as the emperor to make you happy?"

Zhao Qi also felt that his funeral came inexplicably.Many small things that he didn't care about before have been magnified little by little in the past few days, making him feel that the world is not worth it when he was originally contented.He thought it might be the hormones in his body during pregnancy, but it definitely has something to do with the dog man in front of him.

He thought about Xiao Shiqing's question.Would Xiao Shiqing be happy if he respected him like an emperor?

Imagine Xiao Shiqing respecting him, bowing three times and kowtowing nine times, with great sincerity and sincerity—Mom, don't be too happy, okay!

Zhao Qi said reservedly: "You can try."

"I'm afraid I can't."

Zhao Qi: "..." Then what are you asking?

"Since I want you, whether you are the emperor or not, I will do something to you, something that a subject cannot do to a monarch." Xiao Shiqing's gaze stayed on Zhao Qi's lips for a moment, "But if this can Solve your knot, I will try."

"Anyway, at least I will be happier than now."

Xiao Shiqing curled his lips into a smile, "Then the emperor wants the minister to do something, just ask."

It happened so suddenly that Zhao Qi couldn't believe it was true, "Can I order anything?"

"The king wants the minister to die, and the minister has to die." Xiao Shiqing chuckled, "This minister is giving his life to the emperor."

Xiao Shiqing's nature is cold and unreasonable, but his smile is as romantic and affectionate as Li Chisu who has experienced in the flowers for many years.

I'm not afraid that men are too doggy, I'm afraid that men who are good looking will flirt.

If it wasn't for Zhao Qi who was barely considered a straight man, he might have been fooled by him.

"Why do I want your life, and I can't eat it." Zhao Qi didn't give Xiao Shiqing any face, "You back down first, I'm going to sleep."

"The emperor really doesn't need ministers to sleep in?"

"Look at you," Zhao Qi said disappointedly, "how can a subject talk to the emperor like that, you will fail on the first day of challenging me to be the emperor."

Xiao Shiqing's chest was suffocated, he glanced at Zhao Qi's stomach, stood up and saluted: "I will leave."

Jiang Dehai was guarding outside, seeing Xiao Shiqing coming out, he was surprised and said: "Where is the prime minister going, are you not staying to accompany the emperor?"

Xiao Shiqing laughed at himself: "The emperor doesn't want me anymore."

Jiang Dehai thought that his old eyes were dim, and the words that this resentful woman often said really came from the mouth of the prime minister?

Xiao Shiqing looked back at the closed door, and said: "I will stay in the palace tonight, if the emperor has something wrong, please come and report to me."

Jiang Dehai agreed: "Yes."

Early the next morning, when everything was ready for returning to Beijing, Xiao Shiqing came to invite Zhao Qi in person.

Zhao Qi was still sleeping when he arrived, and Jiang Dehai and Xiao Songzi knelt beside the bed, coaxing him to get up softly.

"Your Majesty, we are going back to Beijing. The cars and drivers are all ready, and everyone is waiting for the Emperor."

Zhao Qi closed his eyes, muttered something, turned over and fell asleep again.

Xiao Shiqing signaled on his face, and Jiang Dehai and Xiao Songzi retreated tactfully, giving up their seats in front of the bed.

"emperor."

Hearing his voice, Zhao Qi's ears twitched, and his belly twitched accordingly.He fell asleep very late last night, and he hasn't woken up yet, but the dragon egg in his stomach has already woken up, kicking and making noise, not letting him, the father, continue to sleep.

Zhao Qi opened his eyes, saw Xiao Shiqing's face, and called out in a daze, "Brother?"

Xiao Shiqing's heart was about to be melted by him, "If you don't remember, I'll carry you to sleep in the carriage, okay?"

The confusion in Zhao Xi's eyes gradually faded away, and his sanity became clear, "Brother" stopped calling, as if he was a different person, "Why is the prime minister here, have you announced the prime minister?"

"……No."

Xiao Shiqing's submissive appearance made Zhao Qi unable to bear it. "I didn't announce you, and you didn't ask to see me. You just stood on my bedside in such a grandiose way. Is this the way of a monarch and a minister?"

"……no."

Jiang Dehai and Xiao Songzi were dumbfounded, as if they had seen a ghost.

Zhao Xi turned his finger on them, "And you, why are you working on errands, you let anyone in here? Get out of here..." Zhao Xi paused, feeling that the word "out" was a bit too much, Changed his words: "Go out for me."

Jiang Song and the two looked at Xiao Shiqing for help, but it was a pity that their prime minister was already in danger.

"Your Majesty, you need someone to take care of you to wash and change your clothes." Xiao Shiqing coaxed him, "I stand down and let them stay."

"I don't." Zhao Qi rubbed his belly subconsciously, which was a habit he had developed recently, "I'll take care of someone else, I don't need a personal eunuch who obeys the prime minister's orders."

Xiao Shiqing narrowed his eyes.

"Your Majesty!" Jiang Dehai and Xiao Songzi plopped down on their knees, "The servants are loyal to the Emperor and have no second thoughts, Your Majesty!"

Zhao Qiyi instigated, "You all know what you secretly concealed for the prime minister. I declare that from now on, you are no longer my two favorite eunuchs."

"No, Your Majesty!"

"Your Majesty can take the slave's life as long as he wants, but don't dislike the slave!"

The two had runny noses and tears, crying like mourning for a concubine, which made Zhao Qi feel a little unbearable.

Can't!He can't be soft-hearted anymore!After finally having such an opportunity, he wants to let everyone know: he, Zhao Qi, is super fierce and not to be trifled with!

"I let you all go down, you are still here in a daze, are you trying to resist the order?!"

"The emperor calm down." Xiao Shiqing walked out first, Jiang Dehai and Xiao Songzi followed behind him, wiping away tears.

"Prime Minister, this old slave has the guts to ask, did you really coax the emperor yesterday?" Jiang Dehai complained, "The emperor is more serious than yesterday."

"He has anger in his heart, it's better to let it out than to hold it in." Xiao Shiqing rubbed his eyebrows, he was not used to being treated like this by the little emperor.In the past, he would have had to train the little emperor, but now in order to coax the big treasure... the big treasure, he can only suppress his nature for the time being.

"Elder-in-law," Xiao Songzi choked up, "The emperor said that we concealed something for the prime minister, what exactly is it?"

Xiao Shiqing also felt strange about this matter, he didn't have time to think about it, and said: "Find two reliable people to serve the emperor first."

When the three of them were "standing for punishment" at the door, Zhao Qiao happened to come to see Zhao Qi.He saw Xiao Shiqing and asked, "Hey, what is the prime minister doing here?"

"Wait."

Zhao Qiao let out a haha, "Since when did the prime minister learn how to drive? If the prime minister wants to see the emperor, he can see him as soon as he wants to."

Xiao Shiqing glanced at Zhao Qiao casually, and Zhao Qiao immediately said seriously: "Prime Minister, take your time, my son is going to see the emperor first."

Zhao Qiao saw that Zhao Qi had nothing else to do, he just came to say goodbye. By the way, he sighed that Zhao Xi had really gained a lot of weight. Looking at his belly, it looked like he was four or five months pregnant.

Zhao Qi: "You can go."

Zhao Qiao was on the verge of crying, "I will see you again when I go back this time. My younger brother will leave Miracle Doctor Mei Chuan to the emperor. Every time the emperor sees him, he will think of my younger brother and think of others when he sees others."

Zhao Xi can see Xiaoqiao's reluctance for him, so he managed to cheer up and said a few more words to him: "You go back to Dongzhou honestly, don't wander around anymore."

Zhao Qiao said distressedly, "I'm afraid Dongzhou won't be able to go back so soon."

"Then where are you going?"

"My younger brother has to go to Dongying, otherwise the Queen Mother of Dongying has to send someone to take my younger brother back to Dongying Palace and lock him up."

Thinking of the extraordinary relationship between his cousin and the empress dowager, Zhao Qi asked, "Is it fun to have an affair with a widow?"

Zhao Qiao smiled, "It's okay."

Zhao Xi raised his forehead and waved his hand, "Walk slowly and don't see you off."

When Zhao Qiao came out, he saw Xiao Shiqing still "Hou Jia" outside, gloated and said, "Yo, I'm still waiting. As expected of Prime Minister Xiao, Hou Jia made it look like he was kneeling on the head of the bed, hahahahaha—— "

Zhao Qiaozui ran so fast that he didn't give Xiao Shiqing a chance to settle the score.

Xiao Shiqing glanced at his back, thoughtfully, and asked Jiang Dehai: "The truth is that he is kneeling on the head of the bed?"

Jiang Dehai said quietly: "Forgive me for speaking bluntly, judging by the emperor's posture, it is not to make you kneel on the bedside, but to put you in the cold palace!"

Before Xiao Shiqing had time to digest the fact that he was thrown into limbo, the door opened from the inside, and Zhao Qi, who was dressed, came out without even looking at Xiao Shiqing, and said, "Let's go."

Zhao Qi took a luan to Jiangxia Ferry, then changed to a dragon boat and returned along the original route of the southward waterway.

The weather has been fine for several days in a row, and the water on the Huaihe River has been calm. Zhao Qi looks at his chubby belly and feels worried. He can barely fool others by eating fat, but in another month or two, this reason will no longer hold up. foot.After he returned to the palace, how should he go to court, how should he discuss politics, and how should he explain to Empress Dowager Wen.

After lunch, Mei Chuan and Cheng Boyan came to take his pulse as usual.Before Cheng Boyan came in, he was stopped by Jiang Dehai and Xiao Songzi, who begged him to speak kindly in front of the emperor.

Cheng Boyan asked: "Your Majesty looks unwell, but did you not rest well last night?"

Zhao Qi let out a lazy "hmm".

"Your Majesty, the pregnancy is unusual. Your Majesty should concentrate on recuperating and not worry too much."

Zhao Qi smiled, "So I drove away all the people who made me worry."

Cheng Boyan's "good words" were just blocked.

Mei Chuan said: "The emperor has used Nuanyu these days?"

Zhao Qi was simply convinced, "Can you not mention this?"

Mei Chuan said with a serious face: "Since the emperor is determined to give birth to the princess, please face up to this matter. Otherwise, the future birth will be difficult, and the emperor and the princess will be in danger."

Mei Chuan said that Zhao Qi was afraid in his heart. He was afraid of pain, and even more afraid of death. If he really had to expand the birth canal to keep his father and daughter safe, then he...

"I know," Zhao Qi said, covering his face, "Let me think twice about this, you guys go down."

Cheng Boyan hesitated for a moment, and said: "It's easy for a person to think wildly, the emperor should let Eunuch Jiang and the others accompany you."

There was no one around, and it was really too quiet.Zhao Qi suddenly thought of someone, and asked, "I don't seem to have seen He Changzhou—has he boarded the boat?"

Cheng Boyan said: "As far as I know, General He was grounded by the prime minister, and he was not allowed to meet the emperor."

Zhao Qi vaguely remembered such an incident, and said, "Go and pass on my order to release He Changzhou's restraint."

"But... will the prime minister agree?"

"I don't care if he agrees or not, you go and pass the order."

Cheng Boyan conveyed Zhao Qi's oral order to Fuzi, and Fuzi turned to Xiao Shiqing for instructions, "Prime Minister, do you want to release General He's restraint?"

Xiao Shiqing condensed his face.He can rely on Zhao Qi for other things, but he can't stand another man coveting the little emperor.Why, just after he entered the cold palace, someone couldn't wait to get out of the cold palace?Overreaching.

"I don't understand."

"But the emperor's side..."

Xiao Shiqing said: "I'll go and talk to the emperor."

Xiao Shiqing did not directly break into Zhao Qi's bedroom, but asked the internal officials to inform him first.

The internal officer returned tremblingly: "The prime minister, the emperor, the emperor said that he is going to take a nap and no one will be seen. He also said that if you came to congratulate the little general, there is no need. Please come back, prime minister."

This was the first time in Xiao Shiqing's life that he was rejected.He was silent for a moment, then smiled suddenly, and said, "Get out of the way."

The inner officer dared not say a word, and swiftly stepped aside.

Xiao Shiqing didn't move.

The internal officer got the wrong idea and hurriedly opened the door for him.

"No need." Xiao Shiqing admitted defeat, "You tell the emperor that I'm waiting for him to wake up."
