Chapter 394: Xiao Jiu Youxi

"what happened?"
After eating the banquet, Gu Jiu returned to the small study of the east courtyard to nest.
Liu Zhao didn't feel relieved, and walked in.
Gu Jiu smiled and waved at him.
He listened, and Gu Jiu whispered a word.
Liu Zhao, who has always lacked expression, at this moment, the expression on his face is unprecedentedly rich.
From the first shock to the last surprise, it seemed like a lifetime.
He clasped Gu Jiu's hand tightly, and suddenly worried that he had hurt someone for unknown reasons, so he quickly let go.
"really?"
When he asked this, his voice was shaking with excitement.
Gu Jiu pursed her lips and smiled, "The time is too short to be sure, but it should be true."
"Great!"
At this moment, he is like a silly kid, hehe giggling. The corners of the eyebrows and eyes are filled with joy.
He won't say, he just wants to do it.
He squatted down and pressed his head lightly against Gu Jiu's abdomen, "Is he a small bean sprout now?"
Gu Jiu's mouth twitched, lacking common sense.
She shook her head slightly, "He is nothing now."
"No, he is our child." Liu Zhao said loudly.
Gu Jiu didn't argue with him, "Don't say anything, you alone know this."
When Liu Zhao first came in, he noticed that the maids were not there.
He said: "I'm not at ease. Even if you don't speak out, you should let the maids know and let them take good care of you."
Gu Jiu shook his head, "Don't rush at this time, it doesn't matter a few days later."
She is so young and in good health. Just started getting pregnant, so I don’t need to be so nervous.
The thing that really makes Gu Jiu nervous is having a baby.
She is quite afraid of having children.
I don’t know what kind of pain I have to experience to give birth to a child.
She doesn't worry about the process of pregnancy.
As long as the body is good and the fertilized egg implants normally, the pregnancy process is fairly easy under normal circumstances.
When I said pregnancy was easy, my heart felt a little pantothenic.
No morning sickness.
I heard people say that morning sickness is super uncomfortable.
Gu Jiu hoped that he would never have morning sickness.
"It doesn't matter how it is, I am worried about you, and more worried about the child."
Gu Jiu laughed, holding Liu Zhao's face, "I promise not to make fun of my body. Also, don't forget that I am a doctor, and I know my body."
Liu Zhao frowned, he was very strange, "Why don't you want to tell the maids?"
Because she didn't want to fantasize or change her life habits because of pregnancy.
This is not a modern society, there will be all kinds of polluting radiation, all kinds of additives, all kinds of synthetic foods.
This is in ancient times, in the palace. What you eat and drink are all natural and pollution-free, and there is no need to worry about pollution and radiation.
She wants to maintain the same pace of life as before during pregnancy. Eat, drink, and go out if you need to go out.
At this time, I told the maids that she could imagine how nervous Qingmei and the others would be. I'm sure to chat in my ears.
She said to Liu Zhao: "I want to live a few more days at ease."
Being pregnant and having a baby means that life will change drastically because of the arrival of the baby.
It's hard to think about being at ease again.
Because I want to revolve around the child!
Because of the responsibility of being a parent, psychological changes will occur.
At this moment, such a relaxed mood, the two worlds without children's noise, I am afraid I will never experience it again in the future.
She wants to cherish this moment, firmly grasp the limited two-person world, and firmly remember the mood of this moment.
At this moment, she felt that she was still a little fairy.
After telling everyone that she was pregnant, the little fairy's wings flew away.
In everyone's hearts, she will have one more identity: mother-to-be.
Let her cherish the few remaining time of the two.
Liu Zhao could not understand.
Just like a man cannot understand a woman, he cannot understand Gu Jiu's thoughts at this moment.
Gu Jiu smiled and asked, "What does it mean that a woman has a child?"
Without thinking about it, Liu Zhao said, "Naturally, I became a mother."
Mother!
"Mother means family and responsibility. The term mother seems to have nothing to do with youth or youth."
Gu Jiu was a little melancholy.
Could it be that pregnancy affected her mood and made her sentimental?
Liu Zhao seemed to understand Gu Jiu's thoughts.
He shook her hand, "Are you afraid that you will grow old after giving birth?"
"You are old. You are an old man." Gu Jiu bared her teeth like a cat with fried hair. She dare to say that she is old, smelly man, can she speak.
Liu Zhao held back a smile and said, "Yes, I am an old man. You will always be young and beautiful."
Gu Jiu turned his head, very arrogant, "Huh, I don't want to be distracted at all, I know it's perfunctory when I hear it."
Liu Zhao smiled and said, "Are you worried that people will know that you are pregnant and that you will not be young anymore? You are purely worrying and thinking too much."
Gu Jiu disliked him, "You don't understand."
"I don't understand what you taught me." Liu Zhao asked for granted.
Gu Jiu said, "You are too stupid, I don't want to teach."
Liu Zhao was very heartbroken and was said to be stupid for the first time in his life. He has been a genius student in the teacher's eyes since he was in school since he was a child, and he has nothing to do with stupid, okay?
Gu Jiu's eyes must be lame to think he is stupid.
Liu Zhao hugged her lightly, for fear that his strength would hurt her. "Then rely on you and keep silent for now."
Gu Jiu smiled with satisfaction.
Liu Zhao then asked, "When did you say to tell everyone?"
Gu Jiu recalled the time of the last month's affairs, counting the date, "It's not too late to tell everyone after the Lantern Festival."
Liu Zhao frowned, "So long?"
"Soon. It's only forty days after the Lantern Festival."
In about forty days, it is basically possible to accurately determine whether the fertilized egg has successfully implanted, whether there will be embryonic dysplasia, or ectopic pregnancy.
Of course, these forty days start from the first day of the last menstrual period.
So now the time is too short and the pulse is weak. It is not accurate to say that you are pregnant.
She didn't want to say anything, in case of a misdiagnosis, it would be another dispute.
She asked Liu Zhao, "If I misdiagnose and I am not pregnant, what should you do?"
Liu Zhao was obviously taken aback, as if he had forgotten to react.
"Will you misdiagnose?"
"This may be true."
"Then you diagnose again."
"The time is too short and the pulse is too weak to make an accurate diagnosis. It is only a preliminary judgment, and it may be there."
Liu Zhao heard this and said loudly: "It must be there. You can't make mistakes, believe in yourself."
Gu Jiu pursed her lips and smiled, "You believe me so?"
Liu Zhao nodded, "Of course."
He held her and sniffed the breath between her neck. It was warm, familiar, and reassuring.
"Xiao Jiu, we are going to have many, many children. It's best to have seven or eight."
Gu Jiu pushed him away and kicked him, "Do you think I am a sow? Give birth to seven or eight, do I have a life?"
Liu Zhao held her foot and kneaded it lightly, "Then how many do you say?"
Gu Jiu raised his eyebrows, "Up to three children, no more."
In fact, she only wants to give birth to one.
But one is not realistic, three are just right.
"Listen to you, then give birth to three."
Liu Zhao picked her up to make her lie more comfortable.
She leaned in his arms, the earth dragon was burning hot, wearing only a thin cotton shirt, her whole body relaxed and comfortable.
She slowly closed her eyes, and said casually: "The eldest brother is very cute. Although the fourth siblings have a bad temper, it is okay to take children."
Liu Zhao kissed her neck, "Our children will be cuter and smarter. You will be the best mother."
"Don't say that I am the best mother, I can't be the best mother, and I am not willing to be the best mother. Basically qualified."
Gu Jiu really didn't expect much from himself.
As parents, she and Liu Zhao are both novices.
There is no training class. What kind of parents are the best? Are there standards?
Without standards, who can guarantee that their parenting methods are the best for children?
I think I am a perfect mother, maybe the so-called perfect education method is ruining the child.
The same rice nourishes all kinds of people, the moment a child is born, he has his own temperament.
Children with different temperaments should naturally be educated in different ways.
Even feeding a child during confinement is different.
Some children go to bed after eating, without making any fuss at all, so they can be raised well.
Some children wake up in the middle of the night and cry for an hour or two after eating milk, driving adults crazy.
Some children have no sense of security if no one is sleeping next to them, and they will always wake up.
Can these children with different temperaments be raised the same?
Certainly not.
Liu Zhao said: "You always like to go against the secular."
Gu Jiu smiled and said, "Because worldly standards are not necessarily suitable for you. Have you ever seen the best father?"
Liu Zhao shook his head and admitted that he had never seen the so-called best father.
A father who looks very good will have defects of one kind or another.
Gu Jiu hooked his finger to play, "There is no perfect person in the world, and naturally there will be no perfect parents. We do our best to be qualified parents and let our children grow up healthily, which is very good."
Liu Zhao hugged him tightly while being careful not to touch her abdomen, "You always have a lot of principles."
Gu Jiu laughed, "That's because I am smarter than you, and more than you think."
"You are all free." Liu Zhao deliberately held up with her.
Gu Jiu snorted and kicked him lightly, "I have been more free recently. I was busier than you in the past few months."
"Don't think about it in your free time, thinking too much hurts you."
Gu Jiu laughed and said, "If you can't think about it, it hurts. I'm a person who can't think about it. You belong to the person who can't think about it."
Liu Zhao did not deny her words.
Gu Jiu stretched his hand to the back of his head and touched his chin. There was stubble on his chin, and his hands were tied.
She asked, "I shaved my beard at night."
Liu Zhao rubbed her hand with her chin.
The rough feeling, there is a strong masculinity, rushing to the face.
Gu Jiu's heartbeat speeds up, and he feels like a horse, "Don't move."
"I don't move."
Liu Zhao really didn't dare to move, he was afraid of hurting her and their children.
"Are you still investigating the poisoning of your mother?"
Liu Zhao said.
"Any clue?"
Liu Zhao said softly, "Don't worry, I can take care of it."
Gu Jiu asked, "Do you have any news from Jinwuwei?"
Liu Zhao bit her earlobe, "I caught a few more people, but unfortunately people died on the way."
"How could you die halfway?"
"I heard that the few people who were caught knew that they were a dead end. They had taken the poison as early as when Jin Wuwei arrived. When they walked halfway, the poison broke out and they all died."
Hearing this, Gu Jiu frowned, "Your Majesty is extremely angry."
Liu Zhao said, "Wei Zhong knelt outside the Xingqing Palace to plead guilty. He knelt for a whole day before the emperor's grandfather asked him to get up."
"Kneeling for a day in this weather, I am afraid that my knees will be broken."
"It's better than apologizing with death. The emperor's grandfather has a bad temper lately. Have you heard that everyone in the court who dared to oppose was dismissed from office."
Gu Jiun said twice, she heard about it.
The emperor made an arbitrary decision, and no one in the court could control it.
That is to say, the emperor is strong enough and holds great power in order to make decisions.
Change to a slightly weaker emperor, and the civil servants will teach you how to be an emperor in minutes.
Now, the emperor has suppressed all opposition voices in the court with his personal authority.
But this is by no means a long-term solution.
Chaotang cannot have only one voice, this is an extremely dangerous situation.
The courtiers would not allow the court to have only one voice.
If the suppression time is too long, it will naturally rebound.
The harder you suppress, the crazier the rebound.
"Will the capital be chaotic?" Gu Jiu asked softly.
Liu Zhao comforted her, "Don't worry, it won't be messy. The generals haven't moved."
Gu Jiu was relieved, "So, father and the others won't be able to return to the capital for a while?"
Liu Zhao nodded, "I am too sensitive now. The emperor's grandfather is very jealous of his father and the others. At this time, he will not allow any prince to return to the capital."
Gu Jiu smiled softly, "It's cheaper for Concubine Li De and the little prince."
In the palace, there is only the little prince. The other princes were all driven out of the capital.
Had it not been for the case of kidnapping that involved the Li family, it would have caused a serious injury to Li Defei. Concubine Li Defei should take the little prince and pet the harem alone.
This time is a disaster for others, but it is a turning point for Fei Li.
As long as she can seize the opportunity, she can use the little prince to regain her favor.
Liu Zhao said: "It's not easy for Concubine Li De to regain her favor. The most favored person in the palace recently is Jiang Shuyi, except for the newly entered beauty."
Gu Jiu smiled suddenly, "A newcomer has been added to the palace."
"There is no shortage of new people in the palace."
Gu Jiu said, "The palace is really not a good place, it's a depressive place to live."
Liu Zhao was silent for a moment, and tentatively asked, "Have you thought about living in the palace one day?"
Gu Jiu was silent.
Liu Zhao frowned, his expression dim.
After a long time, Gu Jiu said: "I haven't thought about it seriously. If that day comes, I will accept it. I am very adaptable."
Liu Zhao hugged her tightly.
He could feel that Gu Jiu was not willing to live in the palace.
If one day, she is willing to live in the palace, it will be for him.
So he felt that he had reasons to treat Gu Jiu better.
Gu Jiu continued, "When I live in the palace, I have to change the rules."
Liu Zhao laughed, and he knew that Gu Jiu was not a person waiting to die.
He asked curiously: "What rules do you plan to change?"
"I haven't thought about it carefully, anyway it must be changed."
She yawned, a little sleepy.
Sleeping when she is full, she will become a fat pig.
Touching the abdomen, the lower abdomen is flat, so that she can temporarily enjoy the happy life of eating and sleeping with peace of mind.
Gu Jiu just wanted to take a nap, but when he woke up, it was already dark.
She is no longer collapsed, but in bed.
The quilt was very warm, I turned over and did not want to get up with the quilt.
Hearing the movement, Qingmei walked in, "Madam is awake. The kitchen is making black-bone chicken soup and it is warming."
Want to drink!
Hearing the black-bone chicken soup, Gu Jiu groaned in his stomach.
Qingmei laughed, "The slave servant waits for the wife to wash."
Gu Jiu finally got up from the bed and asked, "Where is the son?"
"The son has something to do, so he went out. He told his wife not to wait for him at night, she might come back very late. He also said that if she didn't come back at night, she might be delayed outside for two or three days, and asked her not to worry."
Gu Jiu was surprised, "Did you say anything? There will be a delay of two or three days. It shouldn't be a trivial matter."
Qingmei shook her head, "The slave and maid asked, but the son didn't say."
Gu Jiu wondered, is there a clue to the case of Concubine Shu’s poisoning?
Or something happened in the palace?
As soon as it got dark, Xiao Cui returned to the east courtyard from outside.
She inquired about a new gossip.
"Madam, the slave-maid just heard someone say that the second son accepted the two concubine rooms given by Empress Shu."
"Really?" Gu Jiu was surprised.
Ouyang Fu is about to give birth, the second son is so anxious, anxious to take a concubine?
Xiao Cui nodded, "This is true. It was passed on by the woman in Xi Le Tang."
Gu Jiu rubbed his eyebrows.
When Pei brought back eight beauties from the palace, Xiao Qin'er had a fight, but it only delayed Liu Yi's concubine.
The eight beauties were still kept in the palace, and none of them were sent out.
Gu Jiu knew that the second son would take a concubine sooner or later, but he didn't expect him to be so anxious.
Can't you wait for Ouyang Fu to finish giving birth to the child and finishing the confinement?
She asked Xiaocui, "How did the second lady react? Did you agree?"
