Chapter 213 Empress Dowager Ci’an 13
Kangxi: "Physician, are you sure that this is really a pregnancy?"
Imperial Physician: "Your Majesty, I am absolutely certain."
"Your Majesty's pulse is stable now, and the fetus in your belly is very healthy. Your Majesty, please relax every day. This will definitely give birth to a healthy little master."
Kangxi: So why yourself? Could it be that God is punishing himself? Because I didn't realize at all that it was difficult for the women in the harem to get pregnant before, this happened to me.
"Imperial Physician, is it safe to come for consultation every seven days from now on? We must ensure the safety of the Queen and the child in her belly."
"The slave obeys the order."
"The Queen's pregnancy is a great joy. According to my will, everyone in the harem will be rewarded."
The look on Kangxi's face was as if he was constipated. He had not been able to feel joy for half a year.
The abnormal secretion of hormones after pregnancy makes her feel bad at all.
Gu Nian: "You all go down, I'm here."
Su Man'er was very happy. The last time her mother lost the baby in her belly, she was very sad and sad.
For a long time, I looked at the items prepared for my little brother and felt sad.
It's better now, the empress is finally pregnant again.
Gu Nian looked at Kangxi with a rosy face, sat beside the bed, and said lightly: "The first three months are crucial, and you don't have much experience. You can just quietly raise the fetus in these three months." .”
Kangxi's anger suddenly rose: "You want to trap me in Zhongcui Palace while I am pregnant. If you just say this directly, why bother beating around the bush like this?"
Gu Nian: "..."
Gu Nian's face couldn't be described as surprised!
This temper comes out of nowhere.
When did you say that?
Also, this inexplicable temper...forget it, pregnant women always have an inexplicable temper.
Now it seems the same goes for pregnant men.
Gu Nian: "You misunderstood me."
"Let me ask you, are you originally a man?"
"so what?"
"But the first three months of pregnancy are extremely important for a woman. Sometimes she is just like a man. If something happens during this period and she falls, what will happen to the child in her belly?"
Gu Nianxiao uses emotion and moves with reason.
result....
Kangxi: "Excuse."
What was exchanged was the word Kangxi.
Gu Nian: Okay! I don’t have the same experience as pregnant people.
Gu Nian: "Then I'll take back what I just said."
"If you want to go out in the future and take someone with you, you must protect your own safety."
"Do you think it's okay?"
After Gu Nian finished speaking, he smiled and blinked, with a standard fake smile, and asked Kang Xi for his opinion.
Endure.
Always remind yourself that Kangxi's hormones are causing trouble, and this appearance of having a bad temper like a woman is not his intention.
Kangxi reluctantly nodded.
But I still feel unhappy and uncomfortable in my heart.
"If there is anything you want to eat tonight, let the imperial dining room arrange it."
"I want to eat the roast duck we had outside the palace that day."
"Then let people buy it back."
"I'm afraid it won't taste good when I buy it."
"You want to go out to eat?"
Kangxi: Yes, that’s what it means.
Even with this thought on his face, he looked arrogant and did not show it.
"Then I will take you out to eat after the time comes tomorrow."
Gu Nian is like coaxing a young child.
Kangxi reluctantly nodded again.
Kangxi: "That's the only way."
Gu Nian: "There are still many memorials that have not been approved... there are many official matters to be dealt with, I..."
Then he met Kangxi's eyes.
Besides, I will be angry next time.
Gu Nian pursed her lips tightly, then stood up and shouted to the outside: "Wang Da."
"What are your orders, Your Majesty?"
"Bring over all the memorials that I want to deal with and the materials that are waiting to be seen in the Imperial Study Room."
"Yes."
He turned around and asked silently: Is the head office now?
Σ_(???」∠)Ugh! ! !
vomit!
vomit vomit vomit!
Basically, Kangxi looked like this during the entire dinner.
Eat one bite and spit it out, eat one bite and spit it out.
Accompanied by this sound.
Su Maner was worried at the side.
"Mother, what should I do?"
"If this continues, the child in your belly will be fine."
"Your Majesty, do you want to ask the imperial doctor to come and give my wife a look?"
Kangxi raised his hand, ready to stop Su Maner from continuing.
I was already upset at first, and even more upset after listening to Su Man'er's words.
As a result...I vomited again before I could say anything.
Gu Nian: "Su Man'er, you go down first."
"Your wife is in a bad mood, so don't disturb him at this time."
"Yes."
"for you!"
"what is this?"
"It might be better to try some of the candied fruits I brought back from abroad."
The expression on Gu Nian's face was too calm, and the calm look made Kangxi feel unbalanced again.
Not happy again.
Kangxi: "When will this end?"
Gu Nian: "It depends on each person's constitution. Some people will be fine after the first three months, while others will be sad during the busy pregnancy period."
Kangxi: "The traitor."
Kangxi gritted his teeth and said something.
"Taste it."
Gu Nian picked up one and dropped it to Kangxi's mouth. Kangxi saw this and ate it.
The sweet and sour taste is really much better. It seems to have opened the door to Kangxi's new world.
Every now and then I'll have one.
.............
Kangxi had changed his clothes and was already sitting and waiting. From time to time he picked up candied fruit and ate one to suppress his nausea.
Kangxi had been waiting for Gu Nian to come.
We agreed to leave the palace today.
Su Man'er brought a cup of tea. The tea just brought was piping hot.
"Your Majesty, the tea is boiling hot, please be careful not to get burned."
Kangxi responded casually, his ears heard it without thinking.
No, when I was thirsty, I picked up some tea and it was hot!
Kangxi reacted quickly. As soon as the hot water touched his lips, he quickly moved away from his mouth.
Kangxi: "How do you do things?"
Su Man'er: "You deserve to die, I burned you."
Kangxi: "Okay, you go down first."
"Didn't I let you go down?"
Listening to the footsteps, Kangxi started bombarding the door.
It turned out to be Gu Nian now.
The cannon became a dumb cannon.
"It is you!"
"Who else do you think you are? He's so angry."
"I can't help but want to lose my temper for no reason."
"Seeing that you are dressed, let's go."
It’s still the No. 1 Scholar Building!
Even though the imperial examination had just ended, there were still many people in the Zhuangyuan Building.
Gu Nian asked someone to book a private room in advance.
The two went up to the second floor.
The waiter first gave them a sip of tea and some snacks.
"The view from the second floor is better, you can see it more clearly."
"Two guests, you have all your things, please use them."
Roast duck was what Kangxi ordered to eat.
But when I put it to my mouth, smelling the taste, I started to feel uncomfortable again.
Gu Nian: "Still can't smell it?"
Kangxi: "Yes."
Gu Nian: "Wait!"
Kangxi: "What are you going to do?"
Gu Nian: "You can't eat, can't you? I'll buy you something you can eat."
Gu Nian had already walked out.
When he came back, Gu Nian had an extra serving of stinky tofu.
"What smells so bad?"
"What's broken?"
Kangxi quickly covered his nose.
As an emperor, he had never eaten food like stinky tofu in his previous life or in this life, so he probably wouldn't have the chance to appear in front of Kangxi.
"I traveled two blocks to buy this. The stinky tofu from this restaurant is the best in the capital."
"Can it really be eaten?" Kangxi asked dubiously.
Looking at the dark stinky tofu, Kangxi was deeply suspicious.
Gu Nian: "Of course, and it's super delicious."
Gu Nian: "If you don't believe it, just try it and see."
Kangxi frowned and stared at the dark stinky tofu.
Although it smelled bad, the amazing thing was that despite the smell, there was no sign of nausea.
Picking up a piece, it felt like a strong man breaking his wrist, and stuffed the stinky tofu into his mouth.
Chew slowly.
The look on his face showed surprise.
Sure enough, it has a strange texture and is delicious.
I ate a second piece.
"I'm not lying to you, am I? This thing smells bad and tastes delicious."
"There are a lot of snacks, and what the people eat is definitely cheap and delicious."
"good."
Between roast duck and stinky tofu, Kangxi chose stinky tofu.
"We still need to eat tomorrow."
"Then don't let the workers come out to buy it tomorrow."
"Very good."
Suddenly a smirk flashed in Gu Nian's eyes.
"Do you know what is the most famous thing in Beijing?"
"What."
“Bean sauce and marinade.”
"Huh? Then go and have a taste."
These two things are commonly eaten by ordinary people, they are cheap and can be delicious.
When Kangxi tasted the bean juice, the look on his face was indescribable.
"What is this?"
"How about bean juice~?"
"I can't describe the taste, but it's really special. I just don't like it that much."
"This stew is the same, it's all animal offal."
It was obvious from Kangxi's eyes and tone that he didn't like it.
"you do this delibrately."
"How can this be said to be intentional? People who like to eat these two things really like it, and those who don't like it really don't like it. I just want to see if you like it or not, and you didn't vomit."
"The smell won't make you vomit."
Pregnant people have an indescribable taste.
After eating stinky tofu, Kangxi seemed to have opened the door to his new world.
I tasted all the snacks in the entire capital, which is where officials from all over the country gather.
Snacks from all over the world are also gathered in this city.
Three months later, Kangxi's figure had gained weight visibly.
Three months have passed, and the two of them still haven't changed.
Kangxi also deeply understood the difficulty of being a pregnant woman, what a suffering!
As the months get older, the ground cannot be seen when walking, and workers must be supported every time. The roads in the palace are mostly paved with stones.
Kangxi was also extremely careful when walking.
Sometimes my legs cramp, my back hurts, and I always wake up in the middle of the night.
He experienced all the things that pregnant women can experience.
In the seventh month of pregnancy, my belly was much larger than that of ordinary pregnant women.
The imperial doctor came to check the pulse every seven days to once every three days.
The imperial doctor diagnosed that Kangxi might be pregnant with twins. In July, Kangxi found it difficult to get up every day.
Gu Nian did not take any pills in order not to expose her system's demand for pills. Kangxi could not endure it with his own integrity.
She was pregnant until she was seven months old.
Kangxi felt his stomach twitching.
There was even fluid flowing out from underneath him.
My water broke!
"Someone is coming."
His voice trembled with pain, and his voice was a little hoarse.
Gu Nian woke up instantly...
The midwife was called.
Five or six midwives were in the room, leaving Gu Nian with no place to stand.
Kangxi felt his stomach hurt more and more. The pain spread throughout his body and was more painful than an arrow wound.
For your own face.
He swallowed everything back into his stomach without crying out.
He suppressed his face from turning red.
Gu Nian: "If it hurts too much, just scream."
Kangxi: Then wouldn’t I be very shameless?
For his own sake, Kangxi endured even harder.
Gu Nian: I really want to save face and suffer.
"Your Majesty, this is not the place where you should stay. Get out of here quickly."
Gu Nian: "Then I'll go out first."
Gu Nian left without leaving any cloud behind.
Kangxi was stubborn and wanted to stop Gu Nian from leaving, but he couldn't.
If you can't shout, you can't let yourself appear too weak.
The labor pains came again, and Kangxi couldn't help but scream.
It hurts! !
Giving birth is too painful.
"My dear, please pay attention to your breathing."
"Don't get too excited. If it's too painful, just scream out. This will relieve the pain."
Kangxi did not scream, but gritted his teeth: No, I am the emperor of the country, how can I scream because of this little pain?
cannot! ! !
"Your Majesty, one finger has been opened."
"Regulate your breathing."
"Be careful to conserve your physical strength and don't let yourself make a sound easily."
Kangxi: Will I call you out?
Gu Nian stood at the door instead.
Only a little bit of Kangxi's voice could be heard outside the house, which was angry and funny.
"Your Majesty, my servant has brought a chair, otherwise you can sit down for a while."
"Alright."
"Let someone prepare some hen soup, pig's trotters soup, millet porridge and eggs."
"Slave, go right away."
Kangxi: Ah! ! ! !
Kangxi didn't shout out, he had shouted it countless times in his heart.
"Empress, come on, come on, show your head."
"Mother, take a deep breath and work hard."
"It's happening, it's happening, my dear, you have given birth to a little brother."
Kangxi: Finally born.
Just when Kangxi thought that it was all over and he no longer had to endure the pain, he said: "My dear, there is still a little master in your belly. Please save your strength first."
"Take a sip of ginseng soup first to build up your strength."
Kangxi: Is it over yet?
There was no chance for Kangxi to breathe at all. The familiar pain came again, and it was more painful than before, accompanied by a strong tearing feeling.
Gu Nian looked at the little baby she had just taken out.
"Your Majesty, the Queen has given birth to a little brother. Congratulations to Your Majesty. Congratulations to Your Majesty!"
"Reward, reward them all."
"The imperial doctor told me that the Queen has more than one child in her belly."
"Back to the Emperor, it is true that the Queen still has a little master in her belly. Judging from the Queen's appearance, I am afraid it will be soon."
"Your Majesty, will my little brother be taken down first?"
"Go."
Kangxi: "How long will it take??"
Midwife: "Mother, it's almost time."
"Mother, you'll be out soon."
The tearing feeling under his body came again.
Then something came out.
"Mom, it's another little brother."
"Mother, would you like to take a look at my little brother?"
Kangxi: "No need, take it down."
Kangxi waved his hand in disgust, the child didn't want to look at it at all.
My stomach finally stopped hurting, and I felt as if I had been fished out of water.
"Your Majesty, your Majesty has given birth to a little brother."
"When it's done, leave it to the nanny. I'll go in and see the queen."
As expected of Kangxi, he had just given birth and was still awake.
Seeing Gu Nian come in, Kangxi felt at ease.
Gu Nian: "Does it still hurt?"
Kangxi: "Much better."
Gu Nian: "Two little brothers."
Kangxi: "Tell me something else."
Kangxi felt his stomach hurt when he thought about these two little brothers. He really didn't want to experience this kind of experience again.
"Your Majesty, the soup prepared for the empress is here."
"I asked people to stew chicken soup and drink pig's trotter soup. Drink a little first to replenish it."
Kangxi: "Not bad."
Gu Nian picked up the bowl and fed Kangxi himself.
Let Kangxi feel better from the pain caused by giving birth.
Sure enough, Nian Nian still felt sorry for herself. This woman wanted to be with her when she gave birth. What she did before was indeed a bit unhuman.
At this moment, Kangxi reflected deeply and knew how to reflect.
Kangxi really couldn't stand it anymore and fell asleep after a while.
Then came the long confinement period in bed.
During the entire confinement period, I couldn't wash my hair or take a shower, and it felt like my hair would stink.
Gu Nian ate and lived with Kangxi every day.
Kangxi once again reflected on himself and scolded himself for being nothing.
It was finally my confinement and I had a nice bath.
Kangxi came out with his hair disheveled.
I am finally clean.
Kangxi: "My whole body feels much more relaxed now."
"Mother, do you want to meet these two young brothers?"
Su Maner held up Kangxi's hair and asked while doing so.
"Let's meet."
Kangxi said reluctantly.
Su Man'er: "My queen, do you have any concerns? Are you afraid that the emperor will be unhappy?"
The Manchu Qing Dynasty has always had rules in order to prevent the prince and Eniang from getting too close and causing their relatives to interfere in politics. The empress dowager was very powerful, so the young prince's biological Eniang was not very close to the prince.
Even during the Kangxi period, most children were not raised by their biological mothers.
It was Kangxi himself who promulgated it.
Kangxi: "No."
Kangxi: "I just think the two little brothers are still young."
In fact, Kangxi felt that his stomach hurt.
The pain of giving birth is too fresh in my memory.
The two little brothers were carried over.
Kangxi looked over.
The Aixinjueluo family's standard red phoenix eyes look very similar to when he was Kangxi.
At first glance, they are related by blood.
After several generations, this generation is actually the most like Kangxi.
Kangxi gently touched the younger brother's face with his fingers: "It looks so similar."
Su Man'er: "Yes, he looks very much like the Emperor. He is almost carved from the same mold as the Emperor."
Kangxi: "Take it down."
Su Man'er: "Is the empress taking you down now??"
Kangxi: "Well, take it down."
Su Man'er: "Madam, how are you doing when you return home? Why don't you let me accompany you to the imperial garden?"
Kangxi: "Okay."
It is early summer, and hundreds of flowers are blooming in the imperial garden.
Kangxi felt much better. After unloading the goods, he walked a little faster.
Gu Nian went down to the court to see Kangxi. Hearing that Kaifeng was in the Imperial Garden, he came to the Imperial Garden to look for Kangxi.
Kangxi was standing by the pond watching the fish.
The two koi carps in the pond here are extremely beautiful, sparkling in the sun.
The fish food in his hand was thrown down one by one. The koi fish rushed to eat the fish food and threw it down one by one.
After eating, the koi all dispersed.
"Your Majesty, the Emperor is here."
Kangxi turned around and saw Gu Nian walking over wearing a bright yellow dragon robe.
The figure is like jade, with broad shoulders and narrow waist.
At this time, 'Xianfeng' was only twenty-three years old, which was the best age.
Coupled with Gu Nian's faint smile, even the man Kangxi couldn't help but show admiration.
You can't change your narcissism.
Kangxi: As expected, I love the appearance of the Xinjueluo family, it’s just different.
Gu Nian: "I went to Zhongcui Palace and they said you weren't here, so they came here to look for you."
Gu Nian: "All the koi in this entire pond have lost weight without you coming to feed them during this period."
Kangxi: "That's true."
Gu Nian: "This is the last one, throw it away."
Gu Nian threw down the fish food in his hand.
When going back and going downstairs, Gu Nian originally wanted to support Kang Xi, but their bodies just changed back.
There was no warning.
It only took a few seconds for the two of them to get used to it and return to normal.
The two looked at each other, helpless. Even now, they couldn't find any rules about when they would exchange their bodies.
Gu Nian: "Half of the officials in the court have been replaced, and the rest are some veterans."
Kangxi: "Then let's keep it for now. Old ministers also have their uses."
Gu Nian: "I'm ready to take the initiative."
Kangxi: "What do you mean??"
Gu Nian: "They have always been eyeing us, relying on force. Chen Zhong has to be said to be a talent. He has developed the latest firearms, which are more powerful. There are also the latest warships, which can be perfectly integrated with firearms. Together."
Gu Nian: "Then we'll hit them by surprise."
Kangxi: "Has the candidate been selected?"
Gu Nian: "Naturally."
Gu Nian: "Isn't the Sixth Prince a ready candidate?"
Kangxi: "You can't just pick one."
Gu Nian: "In terms of combat experience, others are still too immature."
Gu Nian: "Find him a wife to make up for it when the time comes."
This time Gu Nian's plan was perfect. He first bombarded the surrounding countries that were eyeing the Qing Dynasty and became a vassal state of the Qing Dynasty.
They used warships to cross the sea. They had sent people over before, but this time they could only accept it even if Gu Nian took the initiative to start a war.
Crush with force and win easily.
Appraisal contract.
Every year, one million taels of gold were paid as tribute to the Qing Dynasty....
