Chapter 957: Worries of Being a Father
Spring is over.
The first hot wind of summer blew into Yongxiang South.
Li Cunxi sat on the edge of the bed, and Xiao Mei gently stroked her abdomen. She had always been nervous when facing Li Cunxi, and now she relaxed for a rare time.
After drinking another bowl of nourishing soup to suppress the urge to vomit, she glanced at the cloyingly sweet pastries on the plate, which made her want to vomit even more.
"All of you go down, I want to talk to the Queen."
Li Cunxi couldn't wait to signal everyone to get out, and then approached Xiao Mei.
Shangguan Wan'er was the last one to leave and tactfully closed the palace door.
"Your Majesty, I am pregnant."
When Xiao Mei thought about what kind of life she had lived in the two years after her marriage, she immediately reminded Li Cunxi.
When Xiao Mei thought about not being able to sleep well all night, she immediately reached out and touched her stomach.
"Am I such a pervert, Sister Xiaomei?"
Li Cunxi sat next to Xiao Mei and held her in his arms.
Xiao Mei is nearly thirty years old and is at the age of full charm. The fragrance rushed into Li Cunxi's nose, and he couldn't help but touch her.
"Sister Xiaomei, being an emperor is really not easy. You've worked really hard during this period."
He had been the emperor for more than half a year. He had to deal with court officials during the day and fight with Xiao Mei for several hours at night. His unparalleled martial arts had nowhere to be used, and his physical strength was all taken away by Xiao Mei.
Li Cunxi saw how hard Xiao Mei had worked in the past six months, but since there was no sign of pregnancy, Xiao Mei suffered a lot.
Good thing...
All the hardships come.
Li Cunxi could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
"What did you call me?" Xiao Mei blinked.
"Sister Xiaomei?" Li Cunxi said, "Didn't I always call you that before I ascended the throne... Even after I became emperor, I still call you that when I'm with you at night."
"Is that so..." Xiao Mei sighed, "I feel like I'm going crazy. Cunxi...can I still call you that?"
"Why not, Miss Mei?"
"Is it really possible?"
"Of course it's not allowed if there are outsiders present, but if it's just the two of us, what's wrong with that?"
"Your words are so nice, I'm scared." Xiao Mei stroked her abdomen gently. "These past few days have been so torturous. Fortunately, I can sleep peacefully in the next few months."
When Xiao Mei thought that Li Cunxi would no longer lie on her all night in the coming days, she immediately smiled.
"Well, Cunxi, the imperial physician said that I need to rest well in my current condition. How about you go to your sisters' place tonight?"
"Why, you want to push me away now that you're pregnant?" Li Cunxi lowered his head and leaned close to Xiao Mei's nose. "Sister Xiaomei, I've been exhausted these past two years. I'd rather sleep here with you during this time."
"We agreed not to mess around."
"Don't worry, you're tired, and I'm tired too." Li Cunxi sighed, "I'm not even twenty years old, and I'm already drinking tonic."
When he thought about himself, a young man full of vigor and vitality, being treated so arbitrarily by the imperial doctors at the age of less than 20, it was a good thing that the treatment was not too much, otherwise he would have lost face sooner or later.
"By the way, Yanhao's child was born."
Li Cunxi curled his lips, quite dissatisfied:
"He invited me out for drinks a couple of days ago, and it made me so angry I was itching to bite him."
"That kid is a little girl, she's really cute..."
Li Cunxi became furious when he thought of Wu Yanhao's ugly face yesterday.
I heard that Lu Dayou's wife is going to give birth in the next two days, and Li Cunxi feels uncomfortable all over his body.
These two good brothers keep saying that they are about to have kids. What are they showing off for?
"no!"
"I have to mess with him."
When Li Cunxi thought of the baby in Xiao Mei's belly, he came up with a clever plan to make Wu Yanhao show his painful mask.
"Give birth to a son and marry his daughter!"
Xiao Mei hurriedly said, "Don't act like a child. You are an emperor."
Li Cunxi slapped his thigh and said, "Yes, I am the emperor. As soon as my son is born, I will choose a princess for him!"
Xiao Mei: ∑(O_O;)
The word "speechless" was written on her face, and Xiao Mei didn't even need to hide it.
However, if she gave birth to a boy, the first person she would win over among all the civil and military officials in the court would definitely be Wu Yanhao.
The ministers in the court are divided into three age groups: the old generation headed by Di Renjie, the middle generation headed by Wu Chengsi, and the young generation headed by Wu Yanhao.
When both Di Renjie and Wu Chengsi are gone, Wu Yanhao will undoubtedly take up the banner.
If the prince's father-in-law is Wu Yanhao, then it will be a good thing for both the Wu family and the Li family.
"But don't forget, where is Yuan Hui?"
Xiao Mei raised the most pointed question, Wu Yanhao's sister Wu Yuanhui.
If Wu Yuanhui also gave birth to a boy, would Wu Yanhao help his nephew then?
Li Cunxi raised his eyebrows and said:
"Don't think too much. I know Yanhao's character well. For the sake of stability between the two families, he would like to become the prince's father-in-law."
At this moment, the greatest wish of the Li and Wu families is to continue to survive together.
With this idea in mind, Wu Zetian stepped on the corpses of Li Xian and Li Dan and made Li Cunxi the emperor.
All the civil and military officials in the court agreed reluctantly. Di Renjie even took the initiative to ask Li Cunxi to marry Wu Yuanhui as his concubine. Everything seemed to be destined.
"You have your own calculations, so I won't ask."
"I've been walking on thin ice for half my life, but luckily I met you."
Xiao Mei looked at Li Cunxi lovingly, showing her love for Li Cunxi without any concealment.
"Sister Xiaomei, are you tempting me?"
"You are pregnant now, I really don't dare to do anything to you."
Li Cunxi freed one hand and gently stroked Xiao Mei's forehead.
"I still come to your place these days."
"If you're late, you can go to bed early and don't have to wait for me."
"After working so hard for so long, you're finally going to have a child. As a father, I have to stay with you."
……
The news that Queen Xiao Mei was pregnant spread like wildfire, and all the ministers in the court were delighted.
While all the civil and military officials in the court were celebrating, Li Cunxi rarely attended court for several days.
Li Cunxi did not even show up at the grand court meeting held every five days, which made several prime ministers very worried. After the court was dismissed, several prime ministers found Shangguan Wan'er and blocked her way.
Seeing she couldn't leave, Shangguan Wan'er simply stopped moving and asked the ministers:
"My Lords, what is going on?"
Di Renjie asked with a smile:
"Sir Shangguan, I wonder where His Majesty is now? Although His Majesty is usually busy, he never misses a grand court meeting."
The other ministers thought the same and nodded in agreement.
After all, they had seen Li Cunxi serve as emperor for half a year, and they knew Li Cunxi's temper very well. He might be a little lazy, but he would never miss an important occasion.
For example, Li Cunxi never missed the grand court meetings.
Now that Li Cunxi did not preside over the grand court meeting, it can only mean one thing, that is, Li Cunxi is most likely not in the palace!
