Seeing that Dongfang Wenming had left, Wei Shuge and Zhao Yuannan hurriedly came in.

"Are you alright?" Zhao Yuannan hurriedly asked.

Zhao Jing shook his head. "It's nothing. I know how to avoid his probing." He had not asked for anything when he entered the palace today, so he would look into this matter when he returned. Did you both clean it up? "

Wei Shuge was relieved from the burden and said, "Don't worry, there won't be any traces left behind!"

"Don't let anyone know about the medicine!" Zhao Jing narrowed his eyes. "There's still plenty of time. I'll need it!"

"Yes sir!" Wei Shuge nodded.

Outside, the snow was still falling, and it was unknown how long it would last.

Zhao Jing went to the Palace of Tzu'an and stood alone in the massive main hall of the palace. Right now, she was dressed in a dragon robe as a monarch, while her mother had turned into a memorial tablet placed in the ancestral hall. From then on, only when they met in their dreams would they be separated.

"Mom, this is the last time I'll come see you!" Zhao Jing stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the empty empress dowager's chair. "Jing became so unfamiliar with himself that he …" Mother will not recognize me in the future! Mother, Qing Jing's hands will be drenched in blood, and he will kill many people, but Jing will still be alive! "

"As for those who forced you to your death, I will never forget any of them. I will remember them all in my mind." The Regent of the East did not know, the Imperial Tutor Qi Yunshan, the Prime Minister Ke Bo called, the Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Justice Zhou Guofeng, the Minister of Rites, Du He Ming, and the Official of the Supreme Court … "Qing will remember this!"

After a moment of silence, Zhao Jing walked out. The young emperor, dressed in bright yellow robes, stood in the snow like a blossoming plum flower, absolutely dazzling amidst the boundless white snow.

A golden jade crown, dragon robe, waist wearing jade to take the court hall.

Snow breezed by, and the east wind was busy, who in the Land of the Nine Prefectures could it be?

Just after the New Year, news came from the palace that Jane was pregnant. This news was like a bomb that had been dropped. The brush in Zhao Jing's hand trembled slightly, and the tip of the brush fell onto the ground. Zhao Jing looked regretfully at the scripture he had painstakingly copied and put it down. "What a pity!"

"Your majesty?" Zhao Yuannan bowed, "She can't possibly be pregnant!"

Zhao Jing raised his head and looked at him. "Dongfang Wenyi knows this, but Qi Yunshan knows it even better. All the people in the imperial court are well aware of this!" However, the Qi Clan and the Eastern clan cannot tolerate each other. The imperial harem needs children to give them hope! "

"Yesterday, I said that the empress's body didn't feel very well, so she summoned the imperial physician to consult her. Why is it that Jane Xi is pregnant today? "This …"

"Can a ten-year-old little emperor give birth to a young crown prince?" Zhao Jing fiddled with the copper bell on the table, his face young and tender.

"No way!" Zhao Yuannan was resolute and decisive.

"But the Qi family needs this child. Regardless of whether he is mine, as long as he is from the harem! Who dares to investigate? " Zhao Jing raised an eyebrow. "Do you dare?" Anyway, I don't dare to have such thoughts! If the events of that night were to be exposed, I would simply be lifting a rock to smash my own foot! "

Wei Shuge was stunned. "Just let it go like that?"

"How can we forget about it?" Zhao Jing curled his lips. "The Qi family has been suppressed by my father for far too long. It's rare to get a chance to breathe. I can't …" If you add some firewood to the fire, you'll be able to make it burn even more. "

"How?" Zhao Yuannan looked at Wei Shuge with a puzzled expression.

Wei Shuge did not understand either.

Zhao Jing didn't raise his head. His slender, jade-like fingers gently caressed the cold copper bell. "I will reward you when she gives birth to her child!" Of course, it depends on whether or not her stomach is good enough! "

"He's trying to give birth to a little prince?" Wei Shuge asked.

Zhao Jing paused for a moment and raised his eyelids. He looked at Wei Shuge with a slightly cold expression.

This gaze made Wei Shuge's hair stand on end. "Wh-what? Did I say something wrong?"

"I should die if I gave birth to a prince!" Zhao Jing quietly said, "If she were a daughter, she would still be able to live …"

The imperial harem needed a child to help the Qi Family, otherwise, they wouldn't be able to fight against Dongfang Wenming's current power. However, this child absolutely could not be a prince. Once it was a prince, not to mention Zhao Jing not allowing him, even Dongfang Wenming would not agree!

"I'm afraid the Regent will not agree!" Zhao Yuannan said.

Zhao Jing shook his head. "Dongfang Wenming clearly knows that this isn't the blood of a king. How could he possibly be afraid of this child's existence?" Having mixed up the royal bloodline and punctured this piece of paper, wasn't the one who was in trouble the Qi family? Dongfang Wenming was still a head above the Qi family, but he wasn't completely confident that he could eradicate the Qi family's influence. Therefore, he wasn't stupid enough to make a move on the children of the imperial harem and give them a clue! The child was born, and it is the fortune of the Qi family as well as the disaster of the Qi family! "

Wei Shuge took a deep breath. "Don't worry, Jane won't give birth to a prince!"

Zhao Jing remained silent.

In the middle of the night in the Snow Wind Palace, each of them had a taste of the cold.

Da Xia Empire was two years old.

Emperor Zhao Jing was in the Jadewater Garden, and he was in the middle of the Mid-Autumn Festival's banquet when someone from the Danxia Martial Palace reported to him.

In less than eight months, he had already given birth to a child. The background of this child was naturally controversial.

Zhao Jing was no longer that ten-year old child. After a year of training in the palace, she had already perfected her ability of observation to the point of perfection. At this moment, she was sitting at the main table, eating her beloved plum cake and drinking the Lotus Heart Tea that Wei Shuge had picked up.

The one who came to announce the good news was Hu Feng, the head eunuch of the Xi Wu Palace. Hu Feng swallowed his saliva and asked, "Your majesty?"

Zhao Jing blinked as he looked at the crowd with a puzzled expression. "Why are you all looking at me?"

"The emperor didn't listen carefully. Eunuch, say it again!" Cobalt took a sip of wine and smiled faintly.

"Your majesty, a simple beauty of the Xi Wu Palace has given birth to a little princess!" Hu Feng kowtowed and repeated what he said just now!

Zhao Yuannan reminded, "Your majesty, you deserve a reward!"

Zhao Jing was enlightened. "Right, reward!" He turned his head to look at Dongfang Wenming, who was silent. "Father Zhong, what do you think we should reward him with? Everyone said that once we have children, we will be the meritorious general of Grand Xia, and the meritorious general of the harem will receive the greatest and best rewards. "But since I've already given my successor to Qi Ruyu, what should I give to a beauty?"

The moment he said this, the entire hall went into an uproar!

Was the emperor planning to cripple him?

Koppel choked on the wine, his face red. Little Emperor, you really know how to play!

Zhao Jing drank two mouthfuls of Lotus Heart Tea and smiled as he looked at Dongfang Mingming, who was holding a cup in his hand. He looked at Dongfang Mingyue's pale white joints. He was a handsome man, and his hands, which had killed him, were also very good-looking. Long and well-defined, smooth and smooth.

Everyone shifted their gazes to Dongfang Wenming. This hot potato, Zhao Jing, was directly thrown onto Dongfang Wenming's body.

Even if Dongfang Wenming didn't want to accept, he still had to! But when she saw him put down the cup in his hand at a leisurely pace, his eyebrows slightly raised, still maintaining his indifferent and distant posture, "This is a matter of the emperor's family, it is inconvenient for this subject to participate! I presume that none of the seniors will have any objections! " Blocking everyone's mouth.

Zhao Jing turned her head to look at Ke Boyu. This Prime Minister of hers was an extremely shrewd person. Everything he said and done was flawless.

Just like that time when Dongfang Mingming was about to leave the capital, Cobb's "Long Jing was so delicious before the rain" had already made it clear that his status was not low at all! Thus, when Zhao Jing heard of this, he began to look at Uncle Ke in a different light. Although Uncle Ke was the Imperial Tutor Qi Yunshan's prized disciple, Zhao Jing felt that this person had other intentions!

One cannot always be subservient to others. Even if one is a disciple, the more time passes, the more rebellious one becomes.

"What does the Prime Minister think?" Zhao Jing asked.

From the moment Zhao Jing looked at him, Cobb had known that she was going to ask this question. He had already prepared himself for it. "In reply to the emperor, this humble subject believes that the regent's words are true." It's not appropriate for the Emperor to meddle in our backyard, so as subjects, we naturally wouldn't dare to argue about the emperor's harem matters! "

As he spoke, Cobb imitated Dongfang's tone and glanced at the officials. "What do you think, my lords?"

"The Prime Minister and the Regent are right!" The officials stood up in unison.

"So boring!" Zhao Jing got up with a bored expression. "All of you talk and chatter, but it's all very tiring to listen to you." Wasn't it just a woman who had a child? I don't know what to reward.

As soon as his words fell, they stirred up a thousand ripples!

Zhao Jing was only asking for directions. She wanted to see just how much loyalty he had and how many villains he had. How many were close to the east, and how many were attached to the honored tutor? How many people were stuck in the middle and could be used by him? Who else is the unreliable fence-sitter?

"Your majesty!" Du He Ming, the Minister of Rites, was the first to stand up. Although this beauty has given birth to the first of the emperor's heirs, her position is still rather low.

Zhao Jing placed his hands on his hips and coldly looked at the crowd. "The ones who said that it was a family matter were all you guys. Now that I have made my decision, you all can't do it!" "Then tell me, how should I reward you?"

"Your Majesty, the position of the harem should increase step by step. How could a beauty suddenly fly up to the top of a branch and become the master of a harem? " Du Heming continued, "Please reconsider, Your Majesty! Do not act willfully! "

There were sounds of agreement from all around. Zhao Jing swept his gaze across them, capturing everyone's expressions in his eyes! Zhao Jing was well aware of the principle of not going overboard when it came down to it.

"I only said that I would give Jane Mei a place to stay. I didn't say that I would make her the empress, what are you all so anxious for?" Zhao Jing snorted as he ate the sweet and hawthorn fruits on his plate. He then swaggered to the center of the table.

Looking at the different expressions of the crowd, Zhao Jing sucked in a breath. "You Sheng, what level is this beauty at?"

"In reply to your majesty, it's Lady Yuanyu!" Zhao Yuannan bowed.

"Then let's call it Amethyst!" Zhao Jing took a step forward and left, leaving behind a chorus of "respectfully sending off the Emperor".

"Your majesty, we're leaving just like that?" Wei Shuge asked.

Zhao Jing curled his lips. "That mat is so boring to eat. I hate to be with those old people with different opinions." Just find a reason to sneak out and make them turn their backs on us! " Then he turned to Zhao Yuannan and asked, "What's the palace closest to the Xi Wu Palace?"

Zhao Yuannan hurriedly said, "It's Chu Yun Pavilion!"

"Let Jane live there with the children! Master and servant should not be too far away, otherwise, there would not even be someone left to talk to! " Zhao Jing said with a profound expression.

Zhao Yuannan understood, "Your Majesty means for them to monitor each other? Both are mutually exclusive? "

"Jane Xi is the empress's servant girl. In the empress's heart, a servant is a servant, so she should listen to her words. She wouldn't allow a shred of betrayal, but … " She remembered her master's words, "Every emotion can give birth to betrayal! It may be because of benefits, or it may be because of circumstances. "

Luckily Jane gave birth to a daughter, if she gave birth to a son...

This was the first time he held the little princess' soft hand in his own. Zhao Jing's heart was in turmoil. This child would be her only hope and sunshine for the next few years. Everyone would plot against her, but not this child.

Qi Ruyu's face was deathly pale, and her entire body had lost its color. She looked extremely weak, as if she was suffering from a serious illness.

Zhao Jing frowned. "The empress isn't feeling well?"
