Chapter Three Hundred and Seventieth Life Can Not Go On

Liu Zhao took advantage of the night to return to the East Courtyard.

He didn't do anything, but when he entered the room, he felt a little guilty.

Heck!

Must be thinking too much.

The room was quiet, no sound was heard.

When I walked in, I realized that Gu Jiu was reading a book and the maids were doing needlework.

"The son is back."

Qingzhu let out a cry, then got up to make tea.

Gu Jiu flipped through the book and didn't even give Liu Zhao a straight look.

Seeing this, Qingmei greeted the little maids and left one after another, leaving the small study room for the husband and wife.

"cough!"

Liu Zhao coughed lightly, trying to arouse Gu Jiu's attention.

Gu Jiu turned to the next page and still didn't give him a straight look.

snort!

Breathing out of nostrils, this is Gu Jiu's attitude.

The mountain is not just me, I will go to the mountain.

Liu Zhao walked over and sat in front of Gu Jiu, very close. Close enough to breathe.

"I'm back," he said softly.

Gu Jiu smiled contemptuously, "Is it rare to come back?"

This is particularly disgusting, but Liu Zhao is very happy. Auntie, you have a reaction.

How hard is it to sing a one-man show alone!

If she doesn't answer, he doesn't know what to say next.

"Of course it's not uncommon. But my son does not care about you."

Gu Jiu snorted, "You have a smooth tongue."

Liu Zhao took her by the hand and asked, "Are you busy today?"

Her eyes still stayed on the book, and she said angrily, "Of course I'm busy! I'm busy choosing a concubine for you."

"What concubine? Where did the concubine come from, just call it out."

When Liu Zhao said this when he wanted to survive,

Especially firm, righteous words, without any hesitation.

Gu Jiu snorted, "The three major joys in life are promotion and wealth. I don't think this is right. I should add another joy. The fourth joy is taking a concubine."

"Nonsense! This is absolutely nonsense. I have never heard such slang words. What concubines are not concubines, I don't need such women around me."

Liu Zhao's desire to survive was so strong that he was about to cry out.

Gu Jiu sneered, finally willing to look him in the eye.

"It turns out that you just don't need a concubine, not that you don't want a concubine."

Liu Zhao shook his head again and again, "I don't need it, I don't want it. Everything is negative."

Gu Jiu looked at him with a half-smile, then grabbed his collar and pulled him to his side.

"You've seen the women rewarded by the goddess in Chunhetang. How about it? I'll make the decision and admit it for you."

Liu Zhao shook his head like a rattle, "What women, all of them look crooked, not as good as a finger of yours."

Gu Jiu sneered, "What kind of eyes, they all look smooth and smooth, as for slandering them for their crooked appearance?"

Liu Zhao said righteously: "In the eyes of this young master, all are crooked melons and cracked dates."

"Oh!"

Gu Jiu smiled meaningfully.

Liu Zhao shouted badly in his heart, he seemed to have said the wrong thing. Where did I go wrong? Can you give me a hint?

Gu Jiu hehe twice, "If I meet a stunning beauty another day, do I have to admit it?"

"Injustice!"

Liu Zhao finally knew where he was wrong.

"It doesn't matter if she is crooked or gorgeous, as long as she's a woman, she can't get into my son's eyes."

When he said this, he was very sincere and very serious. Just swear.

It makes sense to say that the desire to survive makes one's brain smart.

Gu Jiu smiled, "Forget it, I don't care about you. This time, you will pass the test."

call!

Liu Zhao let out a long breath.

There is a feeling of escape.

In the winter, he was hot and sweating.

Seeing that the war was wiped out, Qingzhu only served tea.

Liu Zhao picked up the teacup and drank half of it in one gulp.

Gu Jiu disliked him, "Drink slowly."

"I talk a lot today and I'm thirsty."

Gu Jiu smiled, "Yes, I shouldn't force you to talk so much."

"Madam misunderstood, I said that today's yamen drink more water." Liu Zhao was busy explaining.

Gu Jiu laughed, "Don't worry, you think I'm so stingy, I'll even care about this with you."

Liu Zhao complained in his heart: You said that you are not stingy, but when you get to the bed, you will kick this son out of bed stingly.

Gu Jiu leaned on the soft slump and relaxed, "Fourth Young Master chose three women and brought them back. I heard that he and the fourth younger brother and sister quarreled so badly that the fourth younger brother and sister smashed the house."

Liu Zhao said: "The fourth child likes to dig into the pile of women since he was a child. It is his nature to be greedy and lustful."

"Fourth younger siblings are afraid to die of anger. I don't know what the empress thinks, but she suddenly gave her a beauty without asking you what you think in advance."

Liu Zhao held her hand and said, "We are the grandchildren, and the mother-in-law will naturally not care about our thoughts."

Gu Jiu disagreed, "In the past few years, the second sibling's belly has not moved, and the empress did not reward the beauty at that time. Now that the second sibling is pregnant, the empress is rewarding the beauty at this time, don't you think it is strange? "

Liu Zhao said, "A woman's mind is too deep for this son to understand."

Gu Jiu rolled his eyes at him, simply because she didn't want to think about this terrible thing.

Ma Xiaoliu hurried in from the outside, "Ma'am, the West Garden is not good. I heard that the fourth lady saw Hong, and she seems to be pregnant."

Gu Jiu was stunned when he heard it.

Xiao Qiner is pregnant? See red?

That must have been stimulated by Liu Yi.

She said to Liu Zhao, "I'll go take a look first. After all, it's my sister-in-law. You wait for me to come back."

"Do you want me to accompany you there?"

"Women's affairs, what do you do in the past as a man. It's better to stay in the room and not to think about it."

Liu Zhao didn't know whether to laugh or cry. The more Xiao Jiu was concerned, the wider he was, even what was in his mind. Don't go too far!

Gu Jiu glared at him, Mrs. Ben will take care of it, what do you want?

Liu Zhao surrendered: I can't afford it, I can't afford it.

Gu Jiu brought his servants to the West Garden.

It was so dark that I could not see my fingers.

The front and rear lanterns are illuminated, and it feels bright.

Xiyuan chickens jumped, some people cried, some people barked, and the elder brother cried so much.

Xiao Qin'er lay on the bed, screaming.

Mrs Pei rushed over, "What's the matter? The fourth lady is pregnant, why is there no movement at all?"

"The slaves just found out."

Pei rushed into the bedroom and saw Gu Jiu sitting on the head of the bed, holding Xiao Qin'er's hand.

She thought that Gu Jiu was comforting Xiao Qin'er, but she didn't know that Gu Jiu was checking Xiao Qin'er's pulse.

Mr. Pei asked subconsciously, "How is the fourth daughter-in-law? Did you ask for a doctor?"

"The imperial doctor has already been sent, and the imperial doctor has not arrived yet."

Gu Jiu let go of Xiao Qin'er's hand calmly, "The fourth siblings were stimulated and became extremely angry, so they became red. I have to ask the imperial doctor to come over quickly and prescribe medicine to protect the miscarriage."

Xiao Qin'er's tears fell uncontrollably and soaked the pillow.

"What children do I want. He has other women. I might as well die."

"Fourth younger siblings, don't say that. If you don't think about yourself, you should also think about your elder brother."

Xiao Qin'er cried even more.

"What did I do? Could it be that I was blind to marry Liu Yi."

Pei stomped her feet in anger, but it was hard to say whether Xiao Qiner was wrong.

She was extremely annoyed, and yelled at the people below, "Where's the fourth son? His daughter-in-law is pregnant, everyone is lying on the bed, why doesn't he show up?"

The servant said tremblingly: "Qiyi Niangniang, the son is him, he is in the wing. He said that he doesn't care about this matter."

"absurd!"

Pei's anger was half dead.

She repeatedly told Liu Yi not to be too stiff with Xiao Qin'er. As a result, he took his own words as deaf ears.

What's more, Xiao Qin'er was already lying on the bed, and he didn't show up.

"Lead the way ahead. This princess went over to invite him in person, I don't believe he dared to come."

Pei was furious and went to the wing to arrest someone.

Liu Yizheng and Xinna's concubine are happy.

The door of the room was suddenly kicked open from the outside. He wanted to scold him, but as soon as he looked up, he saw Mrs. Pei.

"Mother, how are you..."

"Get out! Your daughter-in-law is pregnant, and you still have the heart to be happy here. How ridiculous are you?"

Liu Yi was stunned, "Qin'er is pregnant?"

"You do not know?"

Liu Yi shook his head, "I don't know. I thought the servant was talking nonsense, and Qin'er deliberately found an excuse to coax me back."

"Did you hear such a big movement outside?"

Liu Yi felt guilty.

Busy and merry, where will you notice the movement outside.

Pei's face was ashen with anger, "What are you still doing, don't hurry up and guard your daughter-in-law."

Liu Yi crawled up, feeling a little empty in his heart.

If Xiao Qin'er had a miscarriage, I'm afraid there would be no way to fix it.

The Xiao family had to hammer him to death.

Maybe even Concubine Shu would punish him.

The royal family does not care about the concubines, which does not mean that the concubines and concubines in the harem do not care about the concubines.

Most of the high-ranking concubines came from aristocratic families. And the aristocratic family is the most important place.

Concubines, you can ignore the concubines in the battle for the throne.

But when it comes to their children and grandchildren, they still hope that their descendants will be different.

Concubine Xiao Shu was born in the Xiao family, so she naturally didn't want her children and grandchildren to spoil their concubines and destroy their wives, causing chaos for the concubines.

There is absolutely no reason to force his own wife to death for the sake of a concubine.

What's more, Xiao Qin'er also came from the Xiao family.

If Xiao Qiner had a miscarriage because of Liu Yin's taking a concubine, Concubine Xiao Shu would be angry for Xiao Qiner without the Xiao family taking action.

Liu Yi dressed neatly and washed off the powdery smell from his body, for fear of irritating Xiao Qin'er. After that, he rushed to the upper room to make amends.

Gu Jiu was sensible, gave up the bedside position, and waited in the side hall.

Ouyang Fu came to the West Garden with a big belly.

She whispered to Gu Jiu, "Sister-in-law, what's going on inside?"

"It is estimated that Fourth Young Master is making amends."

At this time, the servants came with the imperial doctor.

Pei Shi was anxious to get angry, "Tian doctor, hurry up, you must save the child."

"Niangniang, don't be in a hurry, the lower official will check the pulse of the fourth lady first."

"That's right, you're getting older."

Pei Shi followed the imperial doctor into the bedroom.

Everyone was very nervous, because they were afraid that Xiao Qin'er would have an accident in this child, and everyone would eat and hang out.

Ouyang Fu said sourly: "The fourth younger brother and younger sister are easy to raise. The eldest brother is not yet one year old, and she is pregnant again."

Gu Jiu glanced at her abdomen, "Second brother and sister are about to give birth."

Ouyang Fu smiled in a blink of an eye, "The imperial doctor counted the time for me, I was born in the first month."

Gu Jiu smiled and said, "To catch up with the New Year, this child is lucky."

"No."

Ouyang Fu calmly glanced at Gu Jiu's abdomen, "Sister-in-law should also hurry up."

Gu Jiu smiled, "I'm not in a hurry."

Why not hurry?

Ouyang Fu believed that Gu Jiu was being stubborn.

Gu Jiu was really in no hurry.

Her body lost too much when she was young.

After several years, the body is almost healed. But in terms of fertility, it seems that it is not as easy to conceive as Xiao Qiner.

She has patience and hopes to welcome the arrival of new life with the healthiest body.

I don't want to get pregnant when I'm weak, it's not good for children or adults, it hurts the body.

She hopes to give birth to a healthy baby, the child can grow up without illness and disaster.

After the imperial physician finished the pulse diagnosis, he prescribed a pregnancy medicine, and told Xiao Qin'er to take a good rest and not to get angry.

Her baby is only a month old, and the fetal image is unstable.

If you don't take good care of it, I'm afraid this baby won't be able to survive.

After sending the imperial doctor away, Mrs. Pei sighed.

It's a good thing that Xiao Qin'er is pregnant, but it's not beautiful when Liu Yin takes a concubine.

She called Liu Yi outside, "I'll take those three women away first. You'd better stop and don't mess with Qin'er."

Liu Yi didn't agree, "Everyone is mine, how can I take them away? Let them keep it, the big deal is that I won't enter their room for the time being."

Pei's face was stern and asked angrily, "Can you hold back from entering their door?"

"Mother and concubine also underestimate her son, and the son promises to hold back."

Pei Shi snorted, "You'd better hold back. It's a good thing that Qin'er is pregnant. If you cause her to miscarry, this princess won't spare you."

Liu Yi smiled and said, "Don't worry, concubine mother, my son knows the importance. I will definitely coax her and tell her not to think wildly."

Pei Shi smiled coldly, how could a woman not be thinking nonsense.

She was tired and let Liu Yi toss it out by himself.

...

Gu Jiu returned to the East Courtyard, chatted with Liu Zhao for a while, and talked about Xiao Qiner's situation.

Liu Zhao hugged her, "When will we have a baby?"

Gu Jiu smiled and said, "Sooner or later."

Liu Zhao's hand fell on her stomach, "It's better tonight..."

"It's not time yet, we have to wait three days."

Liu Zhao frowned, resentful in his heart.

Since deciding to have kids, I can't exercise as much as I want.

It must be done according to the timetable arranged by the caregiver. It is said that if you follow the timetable, you will be more likely to conceive.

What's the reasoning here, he didn't understand.

He knew that the number of his favorite sports had dropped sharply, which was simply not the life of a normal man.

He opened his mouth and bit Gu Jiu's lips.

If you can't exercise, you have to find some compensation.

Gu Jiu was speechless, could the needs of men not be so strong?

...

Mrs. Xiao came to the palace to visit Xiao Qiner.

During the day, Liu Yi went to the yamen as an official, and the West Garden was very quiet.

Seeing that Xiao Qiner's face was pale, her eyes were haggard, and she was still thin, Mrs. Xiao felt extremely distressed.

"You child, you don't know how to take care of your body when you're pregnant. You've been angry with Liu Yi all day and almost killed the child in your belly."

Xiao Qin'er was aggrieved, "Mother knows that the mother gave me beautiful women yesterday. That night, my cousin took three women back to the room. He also pointed at my nose and called me a jealous woman, and said that it doesn't matter if I accept it or not. , he wants to take a concubine. At that time, my daughter really wanted to kill him."

Mrs. Xiao frowned, "You calm down first, don't get angry. Did you just say that the empress gave me beauty?"

Xiao Qin'er wiped away her tears, "Exactly. I didn't disclose any news beforehand, and my daughter felt that this was a bit strange. Mother, can you go to the palace for your daughter and ask, what's going on? beauty?"

Mrs. Xiao nodded, "Don't worry, I'll go to the palace tomorrow, and it happens that I haven't greeted the empress for some days. As for Liu Yin's concubine, I know you are sad. But men, they are all masters who like the new and hate the old, you have to think about it yourself. Open up and think more about the children."

"My daughter can't think about it."

Xiao Qin'er gritted her teeth, "The eldest son has not taken a concubine, and the second son has only had two concubines by his side for so many years. How can a cousin be special and can take a concubine. Besides, I have given birth to a eldest brother, and he is more There's no reason to take a concubine."

"You're on the cusp of a bull's-eye. Think for yourself, which man in this world doesn't take a concubine?"

"The eldest son has no concubines."

"That's because they don't have children yet. If they don't take concubines now, they are afraid that the concubine's room will give birth to the eldest son ahead of schedule, which will cause confusion. When the eldest son has a concubine, it will be sooner or later to accept a concubine."

Xiao Qin'er shook her head, "That's not the case. The eldest son and sister-in-law are different from other couples. The eldest son really doesn't accept concubines."

Mrs. Xiao said: "The grandson, can you not take a concubine? You, don't just stare at the big house, think more about how you rely on your children to keep your favor. Try to have two more brothers, in this way, whoever Can't get past you.

Just like a princess, there are so many women around Ning Wang, who can surpass the princess? In the end, the person that King Ning respects the most is the princess. "

Xiao Qiner burst into tears.

"Silly child, don't cry, don't cry."

Xiao Qin'er cried and said, "Mother's words pierce her heart, but her daughter can't accept it, and she can't pass this hurdle. Her daughter doesn't want him to take a concubine."

"Good boy, don't cry, be careful of hurting the child. Women, they all suffer. If you cross this hurdle, the same thing happens to men."

"My daughter can't pass this hurdle."

Xiao Qin'er was sobbing.
