ex husband always trying to get me pregnant

Everyone sighed. On the martial arts arena, Cheng Xi stood upright with no expression on his face. Xia Yan frowned slightly, curled his lips slightly, glanced at him from the corner of his eye, and the enthusiasm in his heart disappeared.

Emperor Jianping's stretched dragon face turned cautious, took a sip of tea, and said: "Yes, you did mention it to me. It sounds like a happy event, but whether it is happy or not is not up to me. I have always I don't like to meddle in the private affairs of my subjects, especially the important matters of marriage, it always depends on their own will. If they want to, I will give you a marriage, which is the beauty of an adult. If you don't want to, I will be reviled if you give me a marriage."

Xia Yan rolled her eyes, thinking that this sentence alone might not be able to finish the matter, and as expected, Concubine Li said again: "The emperor is right, the emperor is at ease." Looking at Su Lan'er who was sitting behind her, she smiled slightly, "Xiao Cheng Your lord has been in contact with Lan'er for a long time, so it's naturally intentional."

There was another frying pan around, all eyes were on Cheng Xi, and Xia Yan turned to stare at him in surprise.

Emperor Jianping showed a surprised smile, and asked: "Xiao Cheng Aiqing, is there such a thing? Have you communicated with Miss Lan'er for a long time, and do you want to marry her?"

Thousands of people watched, under heavy pressure, Cheng Xi thought for a while, his deep expression turned calm, stepped forward and bowed, neither arrogant nor humble said: "Reporting to the emperor, there is absolutely nothing like this. I have never communicated with Miss Su. Never thought of marrying her."

The words seemed to be thundering down on the lake which was not calm at all. Amidst the huge waves, there were whispers during the banquet, the Queen laughed lightly, Concubine Li Gui and Su Lan'er were stunned and ashamed.

In fact, the two of them are not sure about this matter. The reason why they raised it in public is because Su Lan'er still has a bit of blind confidence in herself; He is not in a hurry, the elders in the family are also in a hurry, matching the imperial concubine and niece is not only well-matched, but also a bit high-ranking; thirdly, because Cheng Xi's family has a good relationship with the prince, it seems impossible to be related to the second prince's family, but because of this, In order to avoid the suspicion of forming a party for personal gain, marrying Su Lan'er is the best balance.

Besides, the most important thing is that they think Cheng Xi is a gentleman, and they will never let Su Laner A girl who has not been out of the cabinet cannot come down to power.Even if you can't agree to it readily, you can give everyone present an impression of this marriage, and then think and boo, this matter is probably close to ten.

However, Concubine Li's thoughts are delicate and rational, and after all, it is just a trick of harem fighting. She will never understand that not everyone is as constrained in such a narrow place as she is. She thinks she has no plans, but she hears Cheng Xi so direct. When she flatly refused and was furious in her heart, she would never understand that it wasn't that Cheng Xi suddenly became a gentleman, but it was precisely she who treated a gentleman's belly with a villain's heart.

A gentleman is magnanimous, speaks righteously and outspokenly, and a man is a man who speaks and acts from his heart, does not change the poor or the poor, does not change the rich and the honor, and is unyielding in power.

With such embarrassment, Concubine Li was naturally anxious, and said: "Cheng Xi, you are talking nonsense! Haven't you met Lan'er in private?!"

Cheng Xi said calmly: "I did meet with Miss Su alone, but it was Miss Su who asked me for advice on the meaning of the article, and it was in broad daylight, in the Langlang Palace, the words were only related to learning, absolutely nothing. Half way over the line."

Concubine Li raised her eyebrows, "You are the number one scholar, how smart and quick-witted, a girl who has not left the cabinet frequently looks for you..." After a pause, she changed her words, "Meeting with you frequently, saying it is to discuss articles, there is a deep meaning in it , don’t you understand? It’s your signal to Lan’er that you’ll meet again once you’ve met, don’t pretend to be stupid!”

"Your concubine, I really don't understand." Cheng Xi said calmly, "I think learning is the first pleasure in life, no matter men or women, rich or poor, even peddlers, or even homeless beggars, anyone who wants to discuss articles with me, All the ministers are in high spirits and treat everyone equally. It would be better if they can discuss more and keep improving. When discussing with Ms. Su, my eyes and hearts are all on the words, and I never read or think randomly, so I don’t know how old Ms. Su is. How is beauty or ugliness, what kind of clothes to wear and what kind of hair bun. As the imperial concubine said, the minister may be really stupid."

The seats on both sides laughed lowly, Jing Lan pressed the corners of his forehead helplessly, Cheng You looked embarrassed, and even Emperor Jianping held up a teacup to cover it up, Xia Yan opened his mouth unexpectedly to look at the calm Cheng Xi, the seated Su Lan'er was about to cry.

The surrounding atmosphere made Concubine Li furious, she slammed the table and said: "Presumptuous! Cheng Xi, are you mocking Ben Gong and Lan Er?!"

Cheng Xi bowed, neither arrogant nor humble: "The imperial concubine appeased her anger, I didn't, but I'm just too stupid to speak well."

Xia Yan showed a suppressed smile. After the competition, her flushed face turned pale when Concubine Li Gui proposed the marriage, and now she finally flushed again. Cheng Xi saw it from the corner of her eyes, and the corners of her mouth slightly curled up, and she decided to work harder.

At this time, Concubine Li was so angry that she lost her mind, she said indiscriminately: "You even accepted Lan'er's gift! You are still quibbling!"

Cheng Xi responded: "Miss Su said that those are the rewards for my help in pointing out articles. I didn't want to accept it and refused several times, but Miss Su insisted on it. I feel that Miss Su is dedicated to learning and her heart is commendable, but she is disrespectful. The sage of Confucius accepted Shuxiu when he accepted disciples. Since it was an ancient ritual, he accepted it calmly. I am so stupid that I really don’t understand that there is another way.” He bowed deeply, “The gifts are all kept at home. Move, if the imperial concubine needs it, I can return it all."

"You!" Concubine Li was furious, Su Lan'er covered her face with a handkerchief, and finally sobbed.

At the banquet, Jing Lan, who was dressed in the official uniform of the prime minister in crimson, stood up suddenly, and everyone was shocked. Jing Lan bowed to Emperor Jianping and Concubine Li, and said calmly: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, because of the dog's private matter, the Emperor and the Concubine Li The empress is worried, and the minister is really terrified. The dog's behavior is not thoughtful, and the words are meaningless. It is because the minister has no way to teach, and it is really wrong. Now I dare not bother the emperor and the empress with the dog's trivial matter. I also ask the emperor and the empress to punish or let him The minister brought the dog back to discipline and restrain him, and prevented him from coming out to make fun of him."

In just a few sentences, it not only ended the tussle between Cheng Xi and Concubine Li, but also implied that Cheng Xi's marriage was not settled at all. Everyone couldn't help but admire that Jiang was still old and spicy.

Concubine Li looked at Jing Lan while comforting Su Lan'er, thinking that these literati are really annoying, they seem to be pleading guilty, but they are actually cursing people around the corner!

Then Emperor Jianping coughed lightly, and the surroundings became silent.

"After listening to it, I think it's just a misunderstanding. One side is the royal family, and the other is an important minister. To me, the palms and backs of the hands are all flesh. Hey, don't mention this matter in the future, Xiaocheng Aiqing, even if you have nothing Wrong, but since Lan Er is a girl, you should apologize to her."

Emperor Jianping made a final decision. Concubine Li opened her mouth and was about to speak. Cheng Xi said "Zunzhi" first, and cupped her hands towards Su Lan'er: "Miss Su, I'm sorry. If Miss Su wants to discuss learning in the future, I still welcome you, but If it's something else... forget it first."

In an instant, Su Lan'er cried even louder.

Emperor Jianping showed agitation, waved his hands and said: "It's over, the next thing."

The next thing is to check Xia Yan's literary progress.Xia Yan submitted the homework he had written in the "Book of Songs" recently, and Emperor Jianping flipped through it, saying: "In terms of literature, I am only mediocre, and it is difficult to judge for a while. There are many talented people here, so let me talk about it, the fourth prince. How did the homework go?"

The chief eunuch passed on Xia Yan's homework, and all the officials read it once, and then passed it to the seats in the harem. After a circle, it came to the hands of Concubine Li Gui and Su Laner. Su Laner turned pale with shock after only one glance He held his homework tightly in his palm, squeezed the handkerchief to endure the tears that hadn't disappeared, stood up and said loudly: "Your Majesty, the courtiers are going to come forward!"

The Martial Arts Field, which had been somewhat peaceful just now, was in an uproar again.

Emperor Jianping glanced at her indifferently, "Oh? Who and what do you want to come out with?"

Su Lan'er slapped her knees, walked around the table and came to the venue, confronted Xia Yan, glared at him angrily, raised her hand and raised her homework, "My daughter is going to be the fourth prince! The homework of the fourth prince is Copied the court lady! One of the evidences, the court lady can recite these articles in public. The second evidence is that the Fourth Highness left a piece of evidence when he stole the court lady's homework!"

Immediately, Xia Yan's face turned rosy and pale, and his frosty eyes looked at Su Lan'er, with disgust and irritability of "Why are you again".

Knowing that everyone was waiting for his response, he took a step forward and said coldly, "I didn't copy it, let alone steal it. You want to slander me? Go ahead and do something."

"Your Majesty, all the words and sentences in the homework were thought up and written by the Fourth Highness himself." Cheng Xi also took a step forward suddenly, standing beside Xia Yan, glanced at him from the corner of his eye, and then bowed upwards and clasped his fists, his expression and tone were mixed. Determined, he said heavily: "My humble minister, I would like to guarantee it with my life."
