It's just that he was deceived by a bad woman again. As long as he is happy, Zhuang Xun found Siqin Mi in a sage state.
She is not very busy, and is even doing some needlework. With He Tan's help, government affairs have become more convenient, and there are more and more talents. It is not like she had to do it herself before.
"Madam, what are you busy with?" He sat beside her with a smile, picked up the silk fabric and looked at it.
"Your eldest son is about to be born. As his aunt, I have to prepare some gifts."
Yin Ya bit off the thread and did the finishing work. Zhuang Xun came, and it was more important to accompany her husband.
"Why, Jiang Zhaoyi drove you away?" Si Qinmi raised the frame, looked at the pattern inside, and nodded with satisfaction.
"Why do you know everything? In order to cover King Zhao's retreat, you danced and asked me to draw eyebrows... Your skills have not deteriorated."
Zhuang Xun laughed and said, touching the silky silk, the patterns were exquisite and detailed.
"I practice all the time. How could I not know that someone like Jiang Zhaoyi who can lead a party can't give in so easily? As long as you enjoy it, you won't be able to enjoy it after this window period, so I didn't ask anyone to remind you. , you responded quickly, but you don’t seem to be very angry.”
Taking off the silk frame, Si Qin Mi said with a smile, after all, the tender Empress Dowager Jiang returned for a limited time, and Si Qin Mi didn't want to disturb Zhuang Xun's sweet dreams for a few days.
"My cognitive level is also improving. I can't be so stupid all the time. How can I stay the same? I got a little angry, and then as you said, ma'am, I've paid back my money in the past few days."
Before Zhuang Xun left Yangle Palace, he was really angry. He pretended to give in by saying he would have a baby, but in fact it was just a cover. However, when he came to Fengqi Palace, his anger dissipated.
I have been living so comfortably these past few days, and I may have noticed that there is something wrong, but facing the Queen Mother Jiang who wants to please me, I still don’t think too much about it. A noble and elegant woman who is charming and charming wants to have love with you, and I still want to For other things, just straighten your back.
The service these days was indeed extremely gentle, and it made Zhuang Xun so happy that it was as good as going to heaven. No wonder the ancient emperor didn't like going to court.
So Empress Dowager Jiang made a mistake. If she had been willing to marry Zhuang Xun in the first place, she would have been in love with Zhuang Xun one day, behave like a Yan, and be obsessed with Zhuang Xun. She would have been reduced to the status of a toy now. ?
Now that Zhuang Xun was on guard against her, he was greedy for beauty, and he also blocked Zhao Guo's path to ascension. Empress Dowager Jiang lost everything, including her uterus.
"It's good if you can think about it. I thought you came here to find comfort, but it turns out you miss me."
With a friendly smile, Si Qinmi nodded Zhuang Xun's head. The old couple no longer needed to communicate with each other, and they seemed to have a good understanding.
"Now that we've finished the dessert, it's time to think about my heart. Is it cold or not?" Zhuang Xun got into Siqin Mi's arms.
"I'm cold, why are you in my arms? Forget it, I miss you too. I'm your sweetheart. Is General Li your treasure?"
Si Qin Mi smiled and rubbed Zhuang Xun's face. This playboy was finally looking good.
"Yes, my dear, I feel a little warmer now." He admitted generously, cupping Siqin Mi's belly, completely different from Queen Mother Jiang.
He admitted that with Empress Dowager Jiang, he controlled the big head with a small head, but with Si Qinmi, it was more about the luxury of an old couple, and it was no longer a simple love.
"Warm, my heart feels warm. Have you figured out what your eldest son's name will be?" Si Qinmi smiled, feeling at ease here. Her little husband is really heart-warming.
"What do you think? I can't give him a name." When talking about his eldest son, Zhuang Xun touched Siqin Mi's belly.
How much he hoped that he and Si Qin Mi could give birth to a child together, but unfortunately Si Qin Mi was unable to have children. It seemed that he was resurrected from the dead and was born like this. He asked many gods and gods but there was no way, and Si Qin Mi's body was also in trouble. It is already invulnerable to all means.
"The children in your harem are all the children of my concubine, who is their eldest mother, and I also have you." Sensing Zhuang Xun's regret, Si Qin Mi comforted him.
"Treat me as your son, right? Then I will call you mother." It was obvious that Si Qinmi should be feeling uncomfortable, but she was comforting herself. Zhuang Xun said in a relaxed tone.
"You really like to sleep with your mother. You say all kinds of things without restraint. Get up and go visit Concubine Zhao. That's your son. You don't want to go see her more."
Unable to stand Zhuang Xun's teasing, Si Qin Mi pretended to be angry, patted his cheek and straightened his head.
"Is it important for a son to have a wife? And I saw it a few days ago." Zhuang Xun complained as he was helped up.
"You are also the most important in my eyes, but don't forget to take care of other things. This is not an either/or thing. Go and see more. No matter how much you treat her as a toy, don't forget about the baby in her belly." It’s your seed.”
Si Qin Mi persuaded and pushed Zhuang Xun. As the heroine of the harem, Si Qin Mi is not the kind of character where everyone is equal. She has a ladder concept and is more important than Zhuang Xun.
"Let's go together, let's go together. By the way, madam, have you thought of a name?" Zhuang Xun said with a half smile while twisting Siqin Mi.
"Call Zhuang Ren. Your kindness saved them. I really don't know what kind words you can say since my concubine is gone."
Zhuang Xun had to show restraint in front of him, as if he had to maintain some image, as if he had to think about himself when he spoke.
"Zhuang Ren, that's good, that's good. Speaking of children, madam, I can't even say the words that Jiang Zhaoyi refuted before."
After the debate failed, Zhuang Xun went to his clever wife to solve the problem and honestly told the story between himself and Queen Mother Jiang.
"Isn't it great that she wants to help you give birth to a child? Is such a good thing possible? You have to work hard."
Si Qinmi laughed after hearing this and told Zhuang Xun to increase his efforts. He had no idea that the protagonist they were talking about was already using his own uniquely beautiful genes to improve Zhuang Xun's genes.
"Why are you trying so hard? She brought up this topic to hold me back. She was afraid that I would go back on my word." Zhuang Xun, who didn't know that he had made the bad woman pregnant, complained. If he knew, he wouldn't be depressed anymore. He might be singing now. What song is it.
"So the reason why you have been singing and singing all these days and nights is not to make her pregnant with your seed. The noble Queen Mother, beautiful and mature, is really a good breeding ground for unborn children."
Si Qin Mi chuckled, making Zhuang Xun laugh extremely awkwardly. She was his close wife who saw him too clearly.
In the past few days, all I have been thinking about is getting a lady like Empress Dowager Jiang, who is obsessed with everyone, pregnant. Even though she knows the chances are low, she still keeps trying. She is like a player who earns money to draw cards. The most exciting thing is the process of drawing cards. After drawing the cards, there is only endless emptiness.
As long as Empress Dowager Jiang whispered in his ear that she wanted to give King Zhao a younger brother, or that she didn't want to leave a seed for her, the rest would be beyond description.
"No chance. We are discussing the severance of grudges, not this?" Zhuang Xun changed the subject, embarrassed.
"Why is there such a debate? It makes no sense. Are you stupid enough to repay the favor and let her go? In her current situation, she can only give birth to a child for you. Are you not happy if she really gives birth to a prince? From the womb of the enemy Give birth to your child.”
Si Qinmi skipped the entanglements and went straight to the core of the problem. No matter how much these debates were said, it would not change Zhuang Xun's mind. Feelings were feelings, and emotionally Zhuang Xun no longer respected Queen Mother Jiang as before.
Empress Dowager Jiang is just a toy to Zhuang Xun, Zhaoyi's identity is a toy, the identity of the fourth concubine is also a toy, and the same is true after giving birth to a prince.
"What does it matter if you canonize the fourth concubine? What does it matter if your child becomes the future emperor? Isn't it your seed? Is she going to violate the agreement and escape? Don't be fooled by appearances. You have to be happy that you got Jiang Zhaoyi."
After clearing away the layers of fog, as a bystander, it is too early to decide the future emperor at this moment, and it is not important who the emperor is, at least not to Zhuang Xun. The child of Empress Dowager Jiang is also his child.
Because they are all his offspring, does it matter who is the emperor? It may be important to the concubines, Zhuang Xun just needs to spread the branches widely.
"Hmm, ma'am, you think clearly, I have been put in the ditch." Zhuang Xun also realized at this moment, he was in over his head, thinking about whether he could be qualified, because there were not many of his children competing for the qualifications now. Maybe none of them will be produced in the future, and they will be given directly to Zhuang Ren, who will be born soon.
And Empress Dowager Jiang doesn't seem to value this thing very much. In the final analysis, he thinks too much.
"Your response is correct. If you really give birth to a child, you must be raised by a concubine. If there are no other competitors by then, you can be our future heir, destroy Jiang Zhaoyi's country, and let her child be the king who destroys her motherland, isn't it? Is it interesting?"
Si Qinmi concluded by imagining that Zhuang Xun could resonate with some hidden evil thoughts.
"Yes, it would be better if she really lays down. If she doesn't lie down and miss her homeland, let her see the demise of the Zhao Kingdom. Let her see the destruction of her hard work. She will also give birth to children for our new country."
Zhuang Xun responded excitedly that this was the way to conquer Queen Mother Jiang, and he felt more and more motivated for a while.
"Come on, Zhao State now has a Xuanjia Army of 150,000 people. You only have a Tiance Army with more than 30,000 armored men. How can you destroy Zhao State? Now you have to prevent King Zhao from seeking revenge regardless of the consequences."
Zhuang Xun's words were obviously full of naive illusions, but Si Qinmi couldn't let him take them seriously. Although they had just completed a great victory over Zhao Guoshi, the gap between the enemy and ourselves was still huge.
Si Qinmi did not stop Zhuang Xun from humiliating King Zhao. One of his purposes was to stir up the relationship between King Zhao and the aristocratic family.
Because King Zhao must have a revenge mentality when he returns to the country. The aristocratic family is different. The aristocratic family does not have this mentality. Whoever belongs is stronger and afraid of whom. The tug-of-war between the two sides will be exciting. If King Zhao insists on having his own way, the separation of Zhao from the Three Kingdoms is imminent.
But judging from King Zhao's previous posture, I'm afraid it won't happen anymore. After all, he can tolerate Zhuang Xun's provocative insults.
This discussion also planted a seed in her heart. Zhuang Xun seemed to really want to consider the issue of heir.
So she went to visit Zhao Luofu. She was very happy. She reached out to touch Zhao Luofu's belly for the first time. The so-called love for the house and the bird is her husband's seed, which is really wonderful.
Previously, due to his status as a role model in the harem, he could not do this kind of action, but now that Zhuang Xun is here, he can relax some restrictions.
Zhao Luofu looked horrified. She was in awe and fear of the woman she had always looked up to. Even though she was pregnant, she wanted to go to pay her respects, but was stopped by Si Qinmi.
It was considered harmonious. Zhuang Xun said some comforting words and didn't feel the slightest bit embarrassed because Si Qinmi was beside him.
"He is also a poor person." After walking out of the concubine's palace, Si Qinmi sighed. This cautious look triggered memories of her childhood.
"You can conceive and give birth to a child for me, why should I be pitiful?" Zhuang Xun said proudly, making Siqin Mi laugh.
"Indeed, it is her honor." Si Qinmi smiled, and it was his luck and Zhao Luofu's luck that it ended up in Zhuang Xun's hands.
Zhuang Xun's days passed as usual, but within ten days he received two letters, breaking his short-term peace.
The same information, expressed in different ways, results in very different results.
The same information is that Li Pingyuan plans to unite with Zhao State to attack Xia State next year. The difference is that one says he is planning to attack from Qinghe Road, and the other says he will attack in a roundabout way from Hebei Road.
"What do you think? These two pieces of information were brought by King Cheng and Concubine Li." Zhuang Xun smiled bitterly. The strategic attack turned into a strategic defense. Now it's their turn to defend. King Zhao's move must have been too quick.
No, it's not King Zhao. He has only been back for a few days. It takes half a month to send a letter, let alone make a decision. The only situation is Xuannv.
This eldest girlfriend is also ruthless. While they were still negotiating for peace, she was already planning to strike hard at Xia Guo.
"Don't worry, the west is blocking the Zhao State, and the soldiers, food, grass and equipment are all powerful. The main thing is that if the Cheng State in the north is really allowed to attack and kill them, the order we have finally established and the wealth we have produced will be plundered."
Si Qin Mi was slightly worried and said that it was not very difficult. For Xia Guo, it was no longer what it used to be. As long as Zhao Guo did not launch a completely lifeless attack, resisting Zhao Guo was no longer as futile as before.
On the contrary, the fight against Cheng Guo was futile. To replicate the situation of Zhao Guo, if we want to resist Zhao Guo, it means sending a large number of troops to the west, and fighting against Cheng Guo is a bit futile.
There were wars between You and Yu, and the warships were basically monopolized by Cheng State. Cheng State was flexible and could cross the river to invade at any time.
Without the pressure of Zhao State, there was no need to worry about deploying troops along the river, but the intelligence showed that both sides were attacking at the same time.
The river is too long. If Cheng Guo wants to attack, it will be difficult for Xia Guo to balance the attack with multiple points. The information in these two letters becomes extremely important. If you make a mistake, the country will not be destroyed, but its own strength will be damaged and the economy will be hurt. Move the bones.
Perhaps Chengguo wanted to be like this, and the constant harassment weakened Zhuang Xun's strength and caused Zhuang Xun's development to stagnate.
"There is always a letter of information that is wrong. According to rumors among the ministers of the Cheng Kingdom, Grand Master Li once hinted that after the Li family usurps the throne, Concubine Li will become the crown princess."
He Tan also said after reading the two letters that Li Shaoyun was not trustworthy compared to King Cheng who now had nothing but a shaky reputation as a monarch.
She was closely bound to the Li family, and she was about to have the identity of the crown princess. Her information seemed untrue. On the contrary, King Cheng had saved Zhuang Xun once.
So is King Cheng trustworthy?
