Since I found out that I was pregnant, my spirit has improved a lot, and I have tried my best to eat more.

After I got married, I drank liquid food like porridge for almost every meal. Now, taking advantage of the opportunity to prevent miscarriage, I finally started to eat rice seriously.

A gentleman stays away from the kitchen, this is what the sages told us scholars, but now I have turned a deaf ear to it. Except for occasionally flipping through books every day, I started to learn how to be a female worker. I want to leave some small things I made by myself before the child is born This is the first gift I gave him as a royal father.

Li Zhenrui was so surprised that he couldn't speak at first, but now he finally got used to my changes and started to make trouble for me.

For a while, the embroidery on the bellyband is too ugly, and for a while, the shoes are too big for the child to wear... It seems that in his eyes, nothing I do is good.

This irritated me quite a bit, but whatever problems he pointed out, I would tear it down and start over, making sure to keep improving and leaving no flaws.

I would often fall into a state of stupidity, asking again and again, "Zixuan, do I really have a child? Could it be a dream?"

"Yes, you really have it." He stroked my hair amusedly, with a playful look on his face.

"Really?" I put on a look of disbelief, "Otherwise you bite me, if it's a dream, I can wake up."

"Okay." He reached out and grabbed mine, putting it to his lips.

Just as I was about to bite, I quickly withdrew my hand and said solemnly, "Well, I suddenly feel that this should be true, so I don't need to bite anymore." He was left with a dissatisfied face.

For the hundredth time, I whispered in his ear, "Zixuan, we have a child. I never thought I would have a child."

He took the trouble to interface, "Seeing Xi'er so happy makes me happy too."

I smiled and rolled my eyes, "Zixuan's heirs are weak, so Xi'er will help you in the future, okay?"

He nodded after a while and replied, "Okay."

A concise word, I didn't think too much about his over-calmness, I was only immersed in the joy of being a father for the first time.

Ever since I knew that there was a little life in my womb, I took every step carefully. No matter where I went, I felt that there was a little life breathing with me, and it would be born ten months later. This feeling is very strange.

"Zixuan, what do you think we should name the baby?" I stroked my belly, which didn't look too strange, but I couldn't wait.

"What name does Xi'er like?" Li Zhenrui asked with a smile.

"Can I get it myself?" I blinked.

"Of course, Xi'er's talent is unquestionable." I couldn't help being flattered by his affirmative praise, but I couldn't help but feel a little complacent.

The corners of my lips curled up, and I said, "Parents expect nothing more from their children, and I only hope that my child will be healthy and happy for the rest of his life. No matter where he is, he can be at ease, and the world has its place How about...the man is Rong Ze and the woman is Rong Jing, okay?"

"What is the allusion?" Li Zhenrui asked.

"The sea is tolerant to all rivers, and it is big if it is tolerant; the mountains stand upright, and the scenery stops."

"That's great. It's just that Xi'er is too anxious. The baby is still seven or eight months away." Li Zhenrui laughed.

"Seven or eight months is not short, but it is also a short-lived matter. It is best to prepare early for everything."

Although they are no longer in the same room these days, Li Zhenrui is always making small moves.

For example, while I was painting, his hands wrapped around my waist at first, and then gradually one of them slipped into my shirt and began to caress my skin.

Although his hands were warm all the year round, they were very rough, and it was really not comfortable to touch them.

"Crack." I finally put down my painting brush and slapped his troublesome hands off mercilessly, "You never change after repeated admonitions, have you forgotten the doctor's advice?"

"Xi'er, do you have the heart to let me hold back like this?" Li Zhenrui looked aggrieved.

I gave him a blank look, spread the pillow and quilt on the floor, and pointed, "You will sleep here from now on."

Li Zhenrui glanced at the quilt on the floor, and his face fell, "You actually let me, the mighty Emperor Daxia, sleep on the floor?"

I put down the black silk on my head and lay down on the couch, "I love to sleep, or you can find someone else."

"Okay." He sneered, "That's what you said, I'm going to find some beauties to sleep with."

"You dare." I sat up and stared at him fiercely, "If you step out of this door, you will never touch me again in the future."

"I can touch it if I want, and you still have to refuse?" He looked at me with his hands behind his back, his eyes full of provocation.

I was so angry that I took a deep breath, "You can try it, and wait to collect my body!"

Hearing this, he frowned and said, "Tell me what to say and collect the corpse, that's enough, go to sleep."

I don't know why I suddenly became so angry. Is it a special reaction during pregnancy?

Shaking his head, he rolled over and lay down.

I haven't heard his voice for a long time, I slightly opened my squinted eyes, saw him sleeping on the floor obediently, couldn't help grinning silently.

"Still sleeping?" Li Zhenrui seemed to have sensed it. His eyes were so bright in the dark night that he could still see my expression at the moment.

I had to hold back my expression and replied, "You didn't sleep either."

"I was driven to sleep on the floor by a goblin, how could I sleep?" Li Zhenrui sighed helplessly.

I chuckled, and said in agreement, "Which little goblin who doesn't know what to do, Xi'er caught it for you, peeled the skin, dismantled the bones and stewed it.

"It's so good! I also really miss the little goblin's meat, it must be very delicious." Li Zhenrui licked his lips.

I grabbed a pillow and threw it at him, "Go to hell."

He grabbed the headrest casually, chuckled a few times, and sighed after a while, "I thought everything was under control, but it's not as simple as I thought."

He said so, although I don't understand why, but it's not easy to ask.

Everyone needs their own space, let alone him?

Wanting to comfort me a few more words, I heard his rather dissatisfied voice, "I have galloped on the battlefield for many years, and I am honored as the emperor. Now I am restrained by a little male concubine like you. It really makes people feel ashamed."

I said disapprovingly, "In front of the outside world, Xi'er will naturally treat you as the emperor and dare not make mistakes; but now it's just you and me, you are only Xi'er's husband, if the husband treats Xi'er badly, Xi'er will... ...then..."

"So what?" he asked.

"I will divorce you."

"If I'm really arrogant, how could you be so bold? Only husbands divorce their wives, and I've never heard of a wife divorced her husband." Li Zhenrui laughed.

I replied dissatisfied, "You and I are both men, why can't I divorce you?"

"They're all men?" He sneered, "You've already practiced women's ways, how can there be any reason to divorce?"

I and I clenched our fists and remained silent for a while, but there was nothing to refute, so we could only snort coldly and ignore him.

"Don't be annoyed, if you really dare to divorce me, it's our good fortune." He replied in a low voice, but I was a little confused.

He wanted to ask one more question, but he already urged, "Go to sleep, a bad rest will affect the child's growth."

I didn't dare to speak any more, and forced myself to fall asleep.

In the dream, I seemed to hear his voice, softly and intermittently, "Xi'er, you know, I have already fulfilled my vow to one person."

Li Zhenrui dealt with affairs in Xuanji Building for a few days, and then continued to take me on the road in a hurry.

Along the way, there were constant reports from fast horses, presumably there must be something big happening in the palace.

Thinking of being hijacked that day and coming to the Xuanji Building again, there is always a question in my heart that remains unsolved.

Later, it was delayed again because of the fact that she was pregnant.

Now the night outside the camp is lonely, only me and him, I hesitated for a long time, hesitating whether to ask this question.

"Look, meteor!" Li Zhenrui called out to me, pointing at the bright light passing by in the night sky, and I just came back to my senses, but I already missed it.

"Xi'er seems to be a little absent-minded. In the past, your favorite thing was stargazing." Li Zhenrui walked to me with a smile, and put his arms around my waist behind him.

I smiled at him, but was interrupted when I was about to speak, "Xi'er seems to be very interested in Xingxiu?"

I nodded and replied, "Although the theory of stars and constellations is metaphysics, after looking through many classics, I feel more and more unfathomable. It is not empty talk, and it does have the ability to predict and warn the world."

"Oh? So how can today's meteors be explained?" Li Zhenrui asked with interest.

I looked up at Shen Qiong with a straight expression, "Let me see... this star is located in the southwest, slipping from behind Ziwei Xing, and it is the most important person in the palace... Could it be... the Queen Mother?" I was speculated by this Startled, he looked at Li Zhenrui in shock, wanting to confirm whether it was wrong.

Li Zhenrui patted me on the shoulder with a smile, and gave me a thumbs up, "Xi'er is amazing! That's right, the Queen Mother took advantage of my leaving the palace to plot against me, and she has now been punished."

"So, the continuous assassinations these days are actually the work of the Queen Mother?" I couldn't help being startled, but still puzzled, "But it doesn't seem like there are only one group of assassins..."

If the Empress Dowager doesn't have someone who can cooperate with her internally and externally, it may be just a delusion to want to force the palace.

Especially the third group of assassins were well-trained, as if they were in the army.

"That's right, there is a small group of northern troops among the assassins, and I will deal with them as well." Li Zhenrui said lightly, his eyes dimmed.

The northern army was led by General Fan, the father of Fan Jianbin. If the northern army was involved, it would most likely be a mutiny.

But if it was really a mutiny, how could only a small group of northern troops participate?Thinking about it, there is something strange about it.

"Then how does the emperor plan to deal with Lord Xiling?" I couldn't help asking.

"How does Xi'er want to deal with it?" Li Zhenrui asked back.

Judging from what the emperor meant, it seems that he has no intention of severely punishing him, which also confirmed my previous doubts.

The Fan family apparently participated, but it is unknown whether they really participated, but this was enough for the emperor to take back the military power in the north.

I calmly said, "Lord Xiling didn't take part in it after all, it's enough for His Majesty to punish him a little."

"Fan Jianbin has always held a grudge against you, so Xi'er let him go like this?"

I smiled lightly, "I'm not afraid that he will hold grudges."

He is inferior to me in terms of wisdom, but what I am afraid of is who is behind him making plans.

So it's better to keep him to find out who is behind the scenes.

Li Zhenrui smiled, and kissed my face, "I knew that Xi'er would not fall into the lower ranks in the harem, but there is one shortcoming..."

"What's wrong?" I asked curiously.

Li Zhenrui didn't speak, just waved his hand on the tip of his nose, and said with a smile, "You hear, what was knocked over?"

I pursed my lips, a little dumbfounded.

After a long time, I calmly said, "Zixuan, are you treating me sincerely?"

"Why do you ask that?" He put away his joking face and asked inexplicably.

I lowered my head and finally asked softly, "I just want to know why you took me to the Xuanji Building for testing."

Even if someone buys me to kill me, since Li Zhenrui is the proprietor of Xuanji Building, he doesn't need to go through such troubles, so what are these plays?

Obviously, all of this was arranged by Li Zhenrui.

If he treats me sincerely, how can Xuanji Building threaten and lure me?

Since I regard him as heaven, I must plan for him everywhere, why doesn't he believe in my loyalty?

All of this, when I think about it, really chills me.

Li Zhenrui held my hand tightly, and whispered in my ear, "Xuanjilou received the business to assassinate you half a year ago. It was the people from Xuanjilou who assassinated you in the hunting ground that day."

No wonder Li Zhenrui didn't plan to announce the real culprit, but said that the time hadn't come yet.

Firstly, the military power in the north has not been taken back, so Fan Jianbin cannot be tampered with at this time to alert the Fan family, and secondly, how will the assassin be known if the murderer has not been caught?And Li Zhenrui knew it was because he was the owner of Xuanji Building, but how could this identity be made public?Perhaps it was for this reason that I was spared and I don't know.

But when I think about it carefully, he actually used my safety to win Fan Jianbin's dependence and trust in Xuanjilou, which makes me even more uncomfortable.

Seeing that I didn't respond, Li Zhenrui continued, "This time, Fan Jianbin has raised the stakes and will kill you."

"So, who wants your life?" I couldn't help asking.

Li Zhenrui couldn't help sneering, "There are many people who want my life, but the Queen Mother is the one I want the most...It's really stupid."

I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, that woman probably didn't know why the emperor was able to see the opportunity before she died, but she lost her life instead.

She is obviously the Queen Mother, why is she still greedy?

Even if it's not a parent-child, how can she do it?

Power corrupts people's hearts!

"I didn't want to care about it, but you were robbed by the bandits and disappeared. The shadow guards around me were not enough to take down the bandits' den, so I had to use the power of the Xuanji Building to make a quick victory."

Li Zhenrui hugged me tightly, and said helplessly, "Don't be so careless in the future, it's not safe to be outside the palace, if something happens to you, I don't know what to do."

When Li Zhenrui said this, my heart warmed a lot, and my tone softened, and I asked the last doubt, "After that, why did you..."

"Of course I want to see if Xi'er has me in her heart." Li Zhenrui laughed.

Although I don't know whether it is true, but I actually like this answer inexplicably, and I don't want to delve into it further.

What about probing?I will not do anything against him, even if I am tempted a thousand times or ten thousand times, I will not be afraid.

The corners of my lips raised slightly, I took out the tiger talisman hidden in the kit, and waved it in front of him, "Now that the tiger talisman is in my hands, the 30 soldiers and horses in the east and north are at my command, and the whole world is in my bag." .”

Li Zhenrui looked at me with a doting smile, but didn't answer.

I blinked and said more proudly, "The emperor also listens to my orders."

Shaking the Tiger Talisman in front of him, "Li Zhenrui, is that right?"

"Yes." Li Zhenrui nodded with a smile, his eyes were surprisingly bright, he hugged me tightly, and his lips were pressed down heavily.

After a long time, I pushed him away with some unsteady breath, glanced at the attendant who had retreated without a trace, blushed and stuffed the Tiger Talisman into his hand and said, "Give it back to you, so that Tan Zheng won't trouble me again."

Li Zhenrui smiled brightly, and accepted the Tiger Talisman, "The Empress Dowager would never have thought that the Tiger Talisman was in your hands, besides, Xi'er is so loyal to me, she would rather commit herself to the Xuanji Building than hand it over, I am very relieved."

Hearing this, I glared at him angrily.

He hugged me again, and said with a gentle smile, "How can I be willing to give Xi'er to others."

"If there is such a day, how will the emperor choose?"

Li Zhenrui hugged my hand tightly, and said calmly, "There won't be that day."

I understand, so I don't ask any more questions.

There won't be that day. It means that the country is more important than the beauty.

Although it is uncomfortable, it is also a normal thing, and it is not worth getting angry about it.

As long as he has me in his heart, he only loves me.

"Zixuan, I love you." I murmured in his arms, "You love me too, don't you..."

He didn't respond to me, but hugged me tighter.

We chatted on and off for a long time before I found out the origin of Xuanji Building.

The Xuanji Tower has stood for a hundred years, and it was first established by the Daxia royal family to deal with people who are not very obedient, so it is mysterious and has a deep foundation.

But then it gradually got out of control, and was controlled by Jianghu forces several times, and there was some chaos inside.

By chance, Li Zhenrui took it for his own use, so he was not tolerated by the late emperor.

Bing Quan and Xuan Ji Building, the choice of one of these two choices made the first emperor very afraid, let alone both, the change of publicity is accidental, but it is also inevitable.

However, although Li Zhenrui is the proprietor of the Xuanji Building, the business of the Xuanji Building is handed over to Tan Zheng, and he himself is the manipulator behind the scenes.

I didn't expect Xuanji Building to have such an origin, but I have to sigh Li Zhenrui's strength. Among the current Three Kingdoms, he is the only one who has such ability to support such an organization with a long history.
