No matter how many people in the court opposed Su Mianyue, they were silently preparing for the ceremony.
And they all knew that Su Mianyue would certainly enter the harem when he had an heir. As for the question of the heir, no one dared to speak out unless they really did not want their heads and said this without evidence. It was a serious crime of humiliating the royal family. Ten thousand deaths were not enough.
Ji Xun told Su Mianyue about this the other day. Although Su Mianyue didn't know what was going on in court, he just smiled and said, "It's been hard on Yu. I should have been with you, but now I'm powerless."
"I said I was going to give you a grand wedding, so I can't go back on my word." Ji Xun chuckled and stroked Su Mianyue's bulging belly with one hand and her waist with the other.
"I won't ask about the post-establishment matters. Now concentrate on waiting for delivery. How about the future husband and son?" Su Mianyue looked up at Ji Xun with only tenderness in his eyes.
"I can't wait for you to think that way, but my Yue is not an ordinary woman. Wouldn't it be a waste of talent to imprison you in the harem for the rest of your life?" Ji Xun almost nodded, staring into Su Mianyue's untainted eyes and chuckling, "Yue is enough in this life. I'll help you clear all the obstacles. Yue just lives according to his own preferences."
"Including taking a child to war?" Su Mianyue raised his eyebrows.
"No." Ji Xun refused without thinking, "I can occasionally accompany you when I have time. Yue can't stay too far away from me, or I will leave the government to look for you. Now, there is no Junn Buhui to sit for me."
Su Mianyue sneered. She knew that Ji Xun would not let her go.
Nestled in Ji Xun's arms, Su Mianyue held his hand and whispered, "Yu, how can I leave with you?"
With just one sentence, Ji Xun's brows widened, and his face was filled with happiness that could kill a person sweetly. Such an expression was really not suitable for a man, but Ji Xun was stuck in happiness.
A few days later, at the top of the early court, the news of victory from the north came again. The Beichen had already withdrawn from the army with heavy losses.
Ji Xun was smiling in the courtroom and asking how to reward him. The civil and military officials did not dare to be unlucky at this time, so they immediately suggested that Ji Xun would play one by one according to the reward that Wu Yuqing returned triumphantly.
Before retiring from the court, a little eunuch came in from behind and knelt beside the dragon chair, cupping his hands and saying, "Congratulations to the emperor, he xi emperor. The expectant empress is about to give birth, and the royal family is going to have a little master."
"Reward!" Ji Xun stood up excitedly, said only one word and strode away.
Leaving behind the civil and military dynasties, Jixiang hurriedly threw away the floating dust and shouted to retreat.
The civil servants laughed bitterly. They had tried everything to prevent Su Mianyue from being appointed, but now Su Mianyue was firmly behind them. And if they gave birth to a prince this time, they would be the future prince.
A lot of people wanted to go up to Wu Yuqing to congratulate him and curry favor with him.
Not to mention that Su Mianyue was his foster sister, but now the people in charge of military power in the court were all from this sect. How dare they neglect half of them?
"This general is going to be an uncle, an uncle!" Who knew that Wu Yuqing laughed loudly and turned away without giving everyone a chance to see how many people were so excited and proud that they were angry, but of course they envied more.
Uncle gan is also the uncle of the country. They can't even touch it unless... The civil servants looked at each other and quietly reached a consensus.
They could not elect their own daughter or sister to enter the palace as a concubine, and they would still have the chance to give birth to an heir and fight for the position of crown prince. When the time came, they would still have the chance to become the father-in-law and uncle. It was not yet time to admit defeat.
Su Mianyue was the first child, and even if she had an attack, she couldn't have given birth so quickly.
But Su Mianyue needed Biwu's help so badly that he could barely walk around the house.
This was to make it easier and safer for her to give birth. Su Mianyue had to grit her teeth, but she pitied Biwu. A girl who had not left the courthouse was so scared that her face changed. Was giving birth such a painful thing?
When Ji Xun arrived, he was stopped in the outer hall by the Su Family father and son. A woman giving birth to a child was not something a man could watch. Although Ji Xun was in a hurry, he could only be forced to stay here.
Ji Xun couldn't hear anything from the delivery room, so he couldn't sit still. He circled the room, occasionally bumping into su hao, who was also in the room.
"Why hasn't there been any movement? Isn't it about to give birth?" Ji Xun shouted at Jixiang. "Go check it out and report the news as soon as you have it."
Poor Jixiang did not know how many times he had been ordered to run, but the answer was the same. Su Mianyue's mouth was not even ten fingers wide and he did not know how long to wait.
"Why didn't Yue say anything?" Ji Xun asked again.
Jixiang quickly smiled and repeated what he had said many times before, "The imperial physician outside said that the expectant empress must keep her strength before giving birth, so she can't shout now."
Ji Xun nodded and continued to pace the hall.
Su Hao came to Jixiang and asked, "Does it hurt to give birth? My sister hasn't made a sound so far. Are the imperial doctors sure she's safe?"
Childbirth was a matter of near death, especially when a woman gave birth for the first time. After coming to the Yan Country, Su Hao asked those experienced women these questions, which was why she was so worried.
"This servant doesn't know either. This servant is a eunuch and has never given birth to a child." Jixiang's face was bitter. Seeing that Su Hao's face was not good, he said quickly, "The imperial doctor and midwife both said that the expectant empress was in the right position, and that the expectant empress was a martial arts practitioner with good health, so..."
Before Jixiang could finish his sentence, he heard Su Mianyue's cry of pain from the delivery room. Two figures flashed past him. He fixed his eyes on Ji Xun and Su Hao, who had already disappeared, and Su Chengye was walking towards the door. His anxious expression was obviously too anxious to wait to be a grandfather.
Jixiang quickly stepped forward to help Su Chengye, who was the future father-in-law and could not be neglected. "Master su, don't worry. The servant just asked. It will be a while before the expectant empress can give birth."
Su Chengye only replied with an' em'.
He was the father of three children. He knew when a woman was giving birth and that the first child was the most torturous. He wanted to see his grandson and love his daughter.
But even as a father, he could not stop his daughter from conceiving just because he felt sorry for her. It was a woman's duty and a complete woman's experience.
Outside the delivery room, Ji Xun and Su Hao both wanted to rush in. Ziling and the others, whom Su Mianyue had already arranged, tried their best to stop them there. As Su Mianyue's cries grew louder inside and the fighting became more intense outside, Su Mianyue, who was so angry, had to cry out in pain, "Calm down! Anyone who messes up again will not want to see the child!"
After that, Su Mianyue screamed again in pain from childbirth.
Only then did the two men outside the door stop, but the action of looking into the room with their feet in arrears did not change.
They were so worried that they forgot that the door could not be opened no matter what. Even if they dropped their eyes on the ground, they could not see what was going on inside.
