Whose cub am I pregnant with?

Zhao Qi fell into deep thought, comforting himself no matter how ugly he was and Xiao Shiqing's cub, and the baby was ugly even when it was born.Take it easy, maybe there will be surprises in the future.

Jiang Dehai said cheerfully: "Your Majesty, look, how much the little prince's eyebrows resemble yours."

Zhao Qi said depressedly: "Where did she get her eyebrows—wait a minute," he heard something just now, "You mean, little prince?"

"Yes, Your Majesty," Jiang Dehai said happily, "Although it is rumored that you are going to give birth to a princess, the one in the prime minister's arms is a genuine little prince!"

Seeing Zhao Qi's eyes widen, Xiao Shiqing said, "Calm down."

However, Zhao Qi couldn't calm down at all.

"No—I don't believe it, how could it be! It's obviously the princess's!" Zhao Qi said incoherently, "Show me."

Xiao Shiqing silently opened the baby's swaddling clothes.

Zhao Qi suffocated.

What is this, this extra small dragon vein!Where is my little princess?Where did my little princess go!

Zhao Qi looked at Xiao Shiqing, dumbfounded and aggrieved, "But, but I want a daughter!"

Xiao Shiqing comforted him, "There will be."

Zhao Qiyou complained: "It's so easy for you to say, anyway, it wasn't born by you."

Xiao Shiqing smiled, "Is that why you don't like the little prince?"

"No." Zhao Qi looked at the sleeping little prince, and subconsciously lowered his voice, "It's just different from what I expected."

The premise of all his expectations and fantasies about Long Dan is that Long Dan is a princess, hence the name "Meng Meng".He wanted to wear the most beautiful dress for Mengmeng, not repeating the same dress every day, and dress her up like a little princess (oh, she was originally a princess of a country); Acting like a baby to him; when Mengmeng grows up, he will choose a perfect male god to be her son-in-law, and pass on the gene of beauty from generation to generation...

However, with the extra "little dragon veins", all Zhao Xi's imagination turned into bubbles.

Zhao Qi rubbed the little prince's cheek with his fingertips, sighed heavily, with a sad face.

"Okay, don't think too much." Xiao Shiqing said, "You just gave birth, your body is weak, and you need to rest."

After talking for a while and being stimulated again, Zhao Qi was indeed a little mentally ill.He nodded, "Is my brother accompanying me?"

Xiao Shiqing bent his lips and smiled, the little emperor seemed a little clingy after giving birth. "Accompany." He returned the child to the wet nurse, fed Zhao Xi a bowl of jujube porridge himself, and then sat on the bedside to lull Zhao Xi to sleep.

Zhao Qi held his hand under the quilt and fell into a deep sleep.

Xiao Shiqing remained motionless until Xiao Songzi came to report: "Prime Minister..."

Xiao Shiqing glanced at him, motioned to go out and said.

"The empress is late," Xiaosongzi said, "does the prime minister avoid it?"

Xiao Shiqing said: "No need. I will go to pay my respects to the Empress Dowager, you guard the Emperor."

As soon as Queen Mother Wen heard that Zhao Qi gave birth to a prince, she immediately rushed over. She was hugging the little prince, smiling from ear to ear—if the little prince was given to Zhao Qisheng by a woman, she could smile even wider .

"See the Queen Mother."

Empress Dowager Wen raised her eyes, and when she saw Xiao Shiqing, the smile on her face disappeared. "Aren't you recuperating in the Xiao Manor? What are you doing in Xuchun Garden?"

"Empress Dowager, have you forgotten?" Xiao Shiqing said with a half-smile, "The emperor's child is my minister's child, so of course I will come."

Empress Dowager Wen said coldly: "So what. Don't think that Aijia doesn't know your thoughts."

"I am all ears," Xiao Shiqing said, "but before that, can we let the wet nurse take the little prince down first?"

"Why, are you afraid that Ai's family will take your son away?"

Xiao Shiqing smiled and said, "I'm afraid the Queen Mother won't be able to take it away."

Empress Dowager Wen's eyes were sharp, and after the little prince was carried down, she said first: "Xiao Shiqing, the Ai family thinks they treat you well, and the emperor obeys you, why did you do such a thing?"

Xiao Shiqing raised his eyebrows slightly, "What did you do?"

Empress Dowager Wen snorted coldly, "You designed the emperor to conceive your child, didn't you just want to use the prince to seize the world! Aijia tells you that even if you have this child, the emperor will still establish a queen and choose a concubine, and continue the emperor's heir!"

Xiao Shiqing said calmly: "First of all, I don't know that the emperor can conceive; secondly, if I want to seize the country, why wait until now; finally, the emperor will not choose a concubine, nor will he extend the heir."

Empress Dowager Wen jumped up against the case and said angrily, "Presumptuous!"

Xiao Shiqing poured a cup of tea and handed it to Empress Dowager Wen, "The empress dowager calms down."

Empress Dowager Wen turned her face away coldly.

"The empress dowager is the emperor's biological mother, and I don't want to embarrass the emperor." Xiao Shiqing said, "I am willing to take a step back and leave a few more people for the Wen family. Please don't pursue the matter further."

Empress Dowager Wen swept her eyes coldly, "It's not just the Wen family who are dismissed, exiled, or beheaded."

Xiao Shiqing said: "Yes, but I don't care about the life and death of other clansmen - the Queen Mother is different."

Xiao Shiqing's words made Empress Dowager Wen feel cold all over her body, "You...you are so cold!"

"They deserve what they deserve, so what do you have to do with me." Xiao Shiqing put the teacup on the table, "After hearing that the uncle of the country was sentenced to beheaded, the wife of the Duke fell ill and yelled at the Duke on the sickbed, saying that he was the head of the cabinet. Fu, you can’t protect your son’s safety.” Xiao Shiqing’s mouth turned cold and calculating, “Fortunately, they still have a young son, and fortunately this son is fine, otherwise…”

Empress Dowager Wen held on to the armrest firmly, gnashing her teeth and said, "Don't forget, you were the one who released the power on your own initiative!"

"It's good for the queen mother to remember." Xiao Shiqing said with a smile, "I have resigned from the post of prime minister, and the queen mother must abide by the agreement. Unless the emperor is willing, I will not mention the matter of choosing a concubine."

Empress Dowager Wen looked at him in disbelief, "You pushed the entire Xiao family out just to prevent the emperor from establishing a queen?"

Xiao Shiqing said casually: "I said it, they deserve what they deserve. If they are accused of being innocent, I will protect them."

Empress Dowager Wen relaxed her shoulders and sat down slowly.In the final analysis, it was just a contest of cruelty, and she really couldn't compare with Xiao Shiqing in this regard.Ever since she entered the palace, she has been carrying the honor of her mother's clan. She can't do it if she wants to kill her relatives and watch her clansmen go to jail one by one.

In fact, both she and Xiao Shiqing knew very well in their hearts that the development of the aristocratic family to the point where it is now in full swing is already a great arrogance.If the Son of Heaven has real power in his hands, and his heart is a little bit harder, it will be a matter of time before the Xiao family is liquidated.Xiao Shiqing took retreat as an advance, and blew something in the ear of the emperor's pillow, and successfully dragged Wen's family into trouble.

She was caught in the trap. She was eager to promote her mother's family and let her stand side by side with Xiao's family, but she forgot to make a big show. She didn't expect that Zhao Qi seemed soft-tempered, but he always insisted on the bottom line in state affairs.

"The Empress Dowager is a sensible person," Xiao Shiqing said, "I believe that the Empress Dowager will give me an answer soon."

Empress Dowager Wen bit her lip, all the blood on her face lost.She looked down at the cup of tea that Xiao Shiqing poured, closed her eyes, brought it to her mouth, took a sip, and said, "What exactly do you want?"

"The minister said so."

"You want Qi'er to fail to accept the concubine, the Ai family knows about it." Empress Dowager Wen said, "Is there anything else? Soldiers talisman, prime minister's seal..."

The smile on Xiao Shiqing's face was somewhat genuine, "I have worked hard for Dajing for many years, and now I just want to be with the emperor and the little prince."

Empress Dowager Wen couldn't help but said: "It's such a mess outside, don't you care about everything?!"

Xiao Shiqing reminded her: "Queen Mother, Wen Guogong is the chief assistant of the cabinet."

Empress Dowager Wen was furious: "You...!"

Xiao Shiqing suddenly said inexplicably: "Wait another year, if there is still chaos in the court, it is time for the northern border to take action."

Empress Dowager Wen frowned, thoughtfully, "What do you mean..."

"I want to guard the emperor, so I will leave first."

After Xiao Shiqing left, Empress Dowager Wen sat alone for a long time. After realizing it, she couldn't help sighing that with Xiao Shiqing's scheme and ruthlessness, opposing him was simply seeking her own death.

Zhao Qi gave birth smoothly and recovered quickly, and the next day he had the strength to hug the six-pound little prince.

But after a day and a night of effort, the little prince has been completely reborn.Although it is still ugly, at least it is much whiter, and its skin is not as wrinkled as a monkey's, and it can still catch the eyes.

Zhao Xi was in a slightly better mood, but when he thought of the extra "little dragon veins", he couldn't help but sigh.

Jiang Dehai was very puzzled when he saw it, "Your Majesty, all concubines in the harem are proud of giving birth to a prince. Why do you want a princess? It's okay if you already have a prince, but this is your first child."

"It's also the last child." Zhao Qi looked at his son and said, "So, he must be the prince in the future. It's easy to raise a princess, and it's over if you spoil the heavens, but I really don't know how to raise a king of a country."

Jiang Dehai said: "Then there is the prime minister."

Zhao Qi smiled bitterly, "Yes, I can only let my brother teach. My brother will definitely let him recite poems at the age of three and write articles at the age of five, and read notes at the age of seven... Poor my little prince, he is about to start at a young age. He lives earlier than a chicken and sleeps later than a dog. When he ascends the throne, he will have to face endless memorials and treacherous courtiers every day. After finally plowing the country, he can rest, and he has to continue to work in the harem... ..." Zhao Qiyue said more and more distressed, "It's too miserable, wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow."

Xiao Shiqing who happened to walk into the room: "..."

The little prince seemed to understand his father's words, kicked his limbs wildly, and burst into tears.

Xiao Shiqing stepped forward, bent over and touched the little prince's head, then the little emperor's head, and said helplessly, "What are you scaring him for?"

Zhao Xi blinked, "Isn't what I'm telling the truth?" It's not so easy to be an emperor, unless he also meets a thigh like Xiao Shiqing.

The little prince kept crying, and the two fathers didn't have much experience in coaxing children.The nurse at the side said: "The little prince must be hungry, this servant will carry him down to nurse him."

Speaking of breastfeeding... Xiao Shiqing glanced vaguely at Zhao Qi's chest, "Did you feel any difference in your chest recently?"

"Ah?" Zhao Qi felt it with his hand, "No, why do you ask me that?"

Xiao Shiqing came close to his ear and whispered something, Zhao Qi's face turned red all of a sudden, and he said in shame and indignation: "Get out!"

Xiao Shiqing chuckled, "Just a word, baby, don't be angry."

Zhao Qi was stimulated.Xiao Shiqing was fine if he didn't say anything, but when he said it, he vaguely felt that those two places really seemed to be so... weird.

—An illusion, it must be an illusion!He will never accept this setting!

Zhao Qi thought about secretly asking Mei Dai about this matter, and heard Xiao Shiqing say: "Have you figured out the name of the little prince——Is it still called Mengmeng?"

"My nickname is Mengmeng." He called it so many times during pregnancy, and he couldn't change his mouth. "My name, I have to think again."
