Mi Ji never expected that she would just notify Zhao Ying to come back and have a look, and wanted to confirm again, but in the end she summoned His Majesty the First Emperor.
"Daughter-in-law Mi Ji, I have met Your Majesty——"
Mi Ji hurriedly led Wang Nan and others to get up and go out to greet them.
"At home, there is no need to be formal..."
The First Emperor waved his hand to Mi Ji rather perfunctorily, and looked directly past her to Wang Nan, who was saluting behind her. The smile on his face instantly bloomed, revealing the face of a kind old grandfather.
"Nan'er, please excuse yourself quickly, forgive me..."
After saying that, he glanced dissatisfied at Mi Ji, who was standing there in a daze.
"Nan'er is now seriously ill and must take good care of herself. In the future, we should try not to let her get involved in such dispensable matters..."
Although the words were polite, the dissatisfaction in them was obvious.
Mi Ji:......
When I was pregnant with Ying'er, I didn't see you being so caring.
"promise--"
I can only step aside obediently.
The First Emperor's attention was no longer on her. At this time, he summoned the medical officer waiting at the side with a happy face.
"Tell me quickly, what's going on with Nan'er? I'm really happy..."
Nowadays, the medical officers in the eldest son's residence are all imperial doctors personally assigned by the First Emperor in the palace.
If Zhao Ying hadn't firmly opposed it, he would have sent all the female officials in the palace to teach his ignorant eldest grandson how to give birth step by step.
At this time, the medical officer standing by was an old man in his sixties who had superb medical skills and was especially good at gynecology. After hearing the First Emperor's question, he stood up quickly and bowed to salute.
"Your Majesty, judging from Mrs. Changsun's pulse and reaction, she should be pregnant, but the time is still short, and I can't say for sure..."
After hearing the first half of the sentence, the first emperor couldn't stop smiling.
As for the second half——
He automatically ignored it.
Since the medical officer dared to say this, he was at least 70% to 80% sure. However, these people had been in the palace for a long time and were not 100% sure. They never dared to say it fully.
At this moment, I saw the steward of the house, leading Xia Houqi, who had white hair and beard, hurried over.
"The humble minister Xia Houji has met His Majesty, His Highness the Emperor's eldest grandson, and my husband..."
Xia Houqi probably came in a hurry. After entering the courtyard, he was panting and busy paying tribute to the First Emperor and others. However, before he could finish his words, he was intercepted by the First Emperor.
"Okay, let's forget about it. Come over and show Nan'er first, but I'm pregnant..."
Xia Houqie knew that his Majesty was eager to confirm whether His Highness Changsun's wife was pregnant, so he didn't say much. He nodded to Mi Ji and others with a smile, and then went straight to Wang Nan and cupped his hands.
"Mrs. Changsun, please sit here, and let me take my wife's pulse first..."
Wang Nan did not expect that before his affairs were settled, he would directly attract the First Emperor, and the First Emperor would also bring Xiahou Qi here. At this time, he was filled with expectation and anxiety.
"Nan'er, it's okay, don't be nervous..."
Upon seeing this, Zhao Ying stepped forward and personally helped Wang Nan sit down aside, earning Wang Nan an angry look.
So many people are watching...
Zhao Ying didn't care about that. He turned back with a smile and greeted Xia Houqi.
"Thank you——"
Xia Houqi bowed slightly, then lifted up his robe and sat across from Wang Nan. He stretched out his fingers and put them on Wang Nan's wrist. Everyone watched eagerly, especially the First Emperor, who subconsciously moved forward. Half a step closer.
"Congratulations to Your Majesty, Congratulations to Your Highness, Mrs. Changsun is indeed happy..."
When the First Emperor heard this, he couldn't help laughing.
Zhao Ying couldn't help but reveal a smile that couldn't be concealed, and held Wang Nan's little hand in a daze.
"Nan'er, thank you for your hard work!"
Wang Nan was so excited that she almost burst into tears.
These days, she was really under a lot of pressure. Although Concubine Zheng did not press her directly, the female officials in the palace almost lived in the house and were ready to help. Various treasures for regulating the body were sent to her home from time to time, especially the First Emperor. All the imperial doctors from the palace were sent out. Even my mother's family would send some nourishing prescriptions over from time to time.
Now, the merits are finally complete!
The First Emperor was overjoyed.
There was a smile that couldn't be concealed between his brows, and he turned back to greet the guards around him with a smile.
"Hurry up and inform Old General Wang Jian that Mrs. Changsun is happy!"
watching
…
Wang Jian has now retired and has no great-grandson to see. His life is very leisurely. At this time, he was lying on the rocking chair that Zhao Ying had given him, drinking tea leisurely when he suddenly heard Wang Nanhuai. The good news about pregnancy made me so excited that I almost poured the tea on my crotch.
"Thank you——"
Wang Jian calmly lifted up his hem to cover the tea stain on his crotch. With a rather heroic wave of his hand, he wrapped a generous red envelope on the spot for the guard who came to announce the good news.
The guards who came to announce the good news went down happily.
When Wang Jian hurried from his own house to the eldest son's house, the eldest son's house was already filled with joy. The female officials and chamberlains in the palace who were specially responsible for taking care of pregnant women were carrying all kinds of supplements, like butterflies wearing flowers, in an endless stream.
The First Emperor was sitting on the ground in a pavilion, twirling his beard and enjoying himself.
"Congratulations to your majesty, congratulations to your majesty -"
Wang Jian walked a few steps quickly, stepped forward and bowed to salute.
The First Emperor laughed loudly, stood up and held Wang Jian's arm himself.
"General Wang, we are all happy together, we are all happy together——"
Now that Wang Nan is pregnant, this marriage has become truly unbreakable. From now on, the Wang family will become Zhao Ying's strongest support.
This is the meaning of heirs in this era.
The two old men looked at each other and smiled.
Everything is unspoken, it is a tacit understanding between the two.
When Wang Jian turned sideways and sat down, he looked around and asked in confusion.
"Where is His Majesty the Emperor's Grandson? Why don't you see his shadow..."
When the First Emperor heard this, he couldn't help but laugh and curse.
"That brat is so happy that he can't even care about us old people - right now, I guess he's talking to Nan'er in the backyard..."
Wang Jian became more and more happy and waved his hands with a smile.
"This kid, really, how can he leave His Majesty here..."
Although he said reproachful words, there was no hint of reproach in his tone.
My grandson-in-law knows that he feels sorry for his granddaughter, so how can he not be happy in his heart? Although this marriage has the flavor of a marriage, he, as the eldest father, feels a lot of comfort when he can see his granddaughter living happily.
"That child, with his temperament - if he really stays with me obediently at this time, then he might be harboring something else in his heart. I'm really worried..."
Wang Jian couldn't help laughing when he heard this.
This is really something His Royal Highness the Emperor Changsun can do.
He is almost the same as Old General Wang Jian.
After Concubine Zheng got the news in the palace, she couldn't sit still, so she dropped the cloth she was weaving in her hands and rushed over in a carriage.
“I’ve seen Concubine Zheng——”
Seeing Concubine Zheng coming with several palace maids, Wang Jian quickly got up and walked away from the table, bowing to salute.
Concubine Zheng stopped and returned Wang Jian's gift with a gentle smile.
"Old General, there is no need to be polite——"
When Wang Jian straightened up, he looked at the First Emperor with some annoyance.
"It's such a big happy event, why did you come here by yourself and didn't remember to ask someone to say hello to me first..."
When the First Emperor heard this, he laughed and pretended to be confused.
"Didn't I ask someone to inform you?"
Concubine Zheng rolled her eyes at him angrily, then turned around and nodded to Wang Jian in a dignified manner.
"Old General Wang, please sit here for a moment while I go to the back to see Nan'er first..."
"Your Majesty, please—"
Don't look at anything inappropriate.
Regarding the back-and-forth interactions between His Majesty and Concubine Zheng, Wang Jian looked at his nose and his nose, pretending that he didn't see anything.
"You kid, General Wang is already here, why are you still hiding here? It's good that you and I are here, why don't you go out to entertain the guests..."
As soon as Concubine Zheng entered the door, she found that her eldest grandson was still squatting happily talking to Wang Nan. She couldn't help but stepped forward and slapped him on the back of the head, and said angrily.
Zhao Ying shrank his neck, stood up with a silly smile, and got out of the way.
Although he was happy, he couldn't really abandon the First Emperor and General Wang Jian and hide in the backyard to accompany Wang Nan. After all, I just found out I was pregnant, and I wasn't in labor.
"Nan'er, don't be intimidated by the battle between eldest father and eldest mother - it's okay. Although having children is hard, it's not that exaggerated or delicate. With your physique, as long as you don't exercise too much, There are no problems..."
Before he finished speaking, he received another slap on the back.
"You are a man who knows how to have children, so stop talking nonsense here and get out of here..."
"Good -"
Zhao Ying followed Shan Ruliu and ran away immediately.
That embarrassing appearance made Concubine Zheng dumbfounded. Yue Ji, Li Shu and others couldn't help but be dumbfounded. It was the first time they discovered that their husband had such a fun side.
"Ying, I've met Old General Wang——"
Zhao Ying smiled and stepped forward to greet Wang Jian. Wang Jian was chatting with the First Emperor. Hearing Zhao Ying's movement behind him, he quickly held on to the tables in front of him and was about to stand up to return the greeting, but was held down by the First Emperor on the side. .
"Today we are at home. He, a younger generation, is saluting you as an elder. What are you so polite about..."
When Old General Wang Jian heard this, he was unmoved. He stood up and said seriously.
"Your Majesty, Confucianism calls a gentleman cautious in his independence. Although the veteran minister is related to His Royal Highness the Emperor's Grandson by marriage, to the veteran minister, His Highness the Emperor's Grandson is a king. The etiquette between the monarch and his ministers cannot be abolished. This is the duty of a minister and has nothing to do with the occasion..."
The First Emperor looked at Wang Jian with a serious face and couldn't help but smile and shook his head.
"Old General Wang, you are so rigid, too rigid, and boring, that's all, that's all, I can't tell you, so I'll let you do it..."
Wang Jian then turned around and returned Zhao Ying's gift meticulously.
"I have met His Royal Highness the Emperor's Grandson..."
Zhao Ying stepped forward and held Wang Jian's arm first, speaking with dissatisfaction.
"General Wang, we are all members of our own family. Where did you come from so many rules..."
When the First Emperor heard this, he laughed loudly, pointed at Wang Jian and joked.
"How about I make you disobey me - this brat, he's not even a polite person. What do you think you're saying to him here? Sit down quickly and drink tea with me..."
Too much is not enough.
Wang Jian didn't insist and sat down.
Before Zhao Ying and Wang Nan got married, he was more casual in front of the First Emperor and Zhao Ying, but now that Wang Nan and Zhao Ying are married, especially now that Wang Nan is pregnant, as the eldest father, he We can no longer be as casual as before.
Let alone lose the courtesy of a monarch and his ministers in front of Zhao Ying.
His Majesty the First Emperor has not yet established a queen. How could he not understand the thoughts behind this?
Therefore, the more important Wang Nan's position is with Zhao Ying, the more he must abide by the etiquette of a monarch and his ministers, the more he must be cautious in his words and deeds, and abide by his duties as a minister.
On the contrary, Zhao Ying really didn't think so much.
He happily chatted with the two old people for a few words, then stood up to leave and went to the kitchen to prepare lunch himself.
Nan'er is happy today.
The First Emperor, Concubine Zheng and Old General Wang Jian were all there. As a landlord and a junior, he naturally had to prepare a banquet in person to celebrate properly. Because of this, even the servants and ordinary bodyguards of the house were all benefited from it.
Because His Majesty the First Emperor waved his hand, everyone in the palace was rewarded with a jacket, and His Royal Highness the Emperor Sun personally ordered a three-day celebration.
The news of Mrs. Changsun's happiness spread quickly in Xianyang City like a whirlwind, driven by thoughtful people.
Meng Mansion.
Old General Meng Wu was standing on the martial arts field at home with his hands on his hips, scolding his grandson. After hearing the news, he couldn't help laughing, leaving Meng Hai, who was still stupid, and walked away.
Although Meng Hai didn't know what happened, he couldn't help but feel happy when he saw it. Just when he was about to take the opportunity to slip away, he saw his eldest father's feet and looked over.
"Don't be lazy. If you can't shoot a hundred arrows today, don't stop. His Royal Highness is ten thousand times more powerful than you. He insists on exercising every day. What qualifications do you have to be lazy..."
Meng Hai:......
The whole person was visibly drained of energy.
Compare me to His Royal Highness the Emperor's Grandson——
You, old man, might as well kill me!
It's not enough. Even though I cursed in my heart, I didn't dare to resist, let alone be lazy - because my eldest father really knows how to whip people...
"Old man, you haven't been moving forward or backward for most of the time. How much have you been drinking..."
Seeing that her old man came back, he picked up the wine bottle and started drinking without saying a word. Mrs. Meng couldn't help but snatch the wine bottle and said angrily.
Meng Wu couldn't help laughing.
"His Royal Highness the Emperor's eldest grandson is happy, I am happy!"
Mrs. Meng said angrily.
"Before, when I gave birth to Tian'er and the others, I never saw you so happy..."
When Meng Wu heard this, he immediately blew his beard and stared.
"Can they compare with His Highness the Emperor's eldest grandson? If His Highness the eldest grandson of the Emperor has an heir, then my descendants of the Meng family can maintain their wealth for another hundred years..."
Seeing that his wife was still half understanding, Meng Wu didn't explain much. He grabbed the wine bottle from Mrs. Meng's hand and took a big sip.
Happy!
