Chapter 327 The Birth of the Prince
Although she had been somewhat resentful in her heart that Li Siqi had forgotten about her during this period, Xu Yingying was somewhat moved after hearing what he said today. She knew what kind of person Li Siqi was, and the fact that he could say such words to her showed that Li Siqi really cared about her.
"But having said that, it is a blessing for your Majesty and the country to have such a minister, and it is a blessing for the people that your Majesty is so diligent."
Xu Yingying was very happy to see Li Siqi being so diligent.
Li Siqi was in a good mood when he heard Xu Yingying praising him, so he said, "I will come here every day from now on, no matter how many memorials there are. I can't finish reviewing them anyway, so this little while won't make any difference."
After Li Siqi said this, he pleased Xu Yingying even more.
Xu Yingying was very conflicted.
On the one hand, she hopes that Li Siqi can be diligent in his work, but on the other hand, she hopes that Li Siqi can spend more time with her.
After hearing the answer given by Li Siqi, Xu Yingying thought it was not a bad idea.
Anyway, as long as you can spend more than eight hours a day reviewing memorials, you can be considered quite diligent.
Judging from Li Siqi's intensity, he spends at least twelve hours every day reviewing memorials. Excluding the two hours he spends with me, there are still ten hours left.
Ten hours of time to review memorials is already quite good.
After that, Li Siqi kept his promise and came every day, giving Xu Yingying little surprises in different ways.
Although Xu Yingying was not surprised most of the time, she even wanted to complain about Li Siqi's poor technique.
However, Xu Yingying still felt warm in her heart.
"It's winter now, you have to take good care of yourself and keep warm." Li Siqi looked at Xu Yingying with a face full of doting.
"Your Majesty, look how thinly you are dressed today." Xu Yingying admonished Li Siqi.
"I'm fine." Seeing Xu Yingying caring about him so much, Li Siqi smiled happily.
As soon as Li Siqi finished speaking, Xu Yingying frowned.
"What's wrong? Where do you feel uncomfortable?" Li Siqi quickly stood up and asked.
"It seems like I'm about to give birth." Xu Yingying said very weakly. She clearly felt a stream of liquid flowing out from under her body, like her amniotic fluid breaking.
Hearing this, Li Siqi was both happy and anxious.
"Someone come quickly, the queen is about to give birth!" Li Siqi shouted anxiously.
After hearing what Li Siqi said, the palace maids immediately started working in an orderly manner, and the midwife who had been on standby came into the room as soon as possible.
After a while, a loud baby cry made Li Siqi very happy.
"what--"
"what--"
"What's wrong?" Li Siqi asked the midwife loudly upon seeing this.
"Your Majesty, the Queen has given birth to a prince for you." The midwife replied happily while holding the child.
"Then can I go in and see the child and the queen?" Li Siqi asked.
At this moment, Li Siqi was so excited that he wanted to rush in himself, but this was definitely against the rules, so Li Siqi forced himself to endure it.
"It's OK, Your Majesty," the midwife replied.
Hearing this, Li Siqi was very excited. He ran in and hugged his child.
The child's face was still a little red because he had just been born, and Xu Yingying was very weak and her face was a little pale.
"Yingying, you have worked hard. Thank you for giving birth to a prince for me." Li Siqi said gratefully to Xu Yingying.
Xu Yingying looked at Li Siqi happily, "It's okay, this is what I should do. Your Majesty, please give the child a name. Our prince doesn't have a name yet."
Xu Yingying looked at Li Siqi very weakly.
"Yingying, don't worry about that. You should take a good rest and recuperate. Taking care of your health is the most important thing. I've already thought of a name for him, Li Shen."
Li Siqi was particularly excited.
"Li Shen? I wonder what it means?" Xu Yingying looked at Li Siqi and asked curiously.
"The meaning of Li Shen represents my deep feelings for you." After Li Siqi said this, Xu Yingying blushed immediately.
"Okay, that's fine." Xu Yingying thought.
The ministers were also very excited when they heard the news.
"Yingying, take good care of yourself. I still have memorials to review, so I'll be with you later." Li Siqi patted Xu Yingying on the shoulder.
"Okay." Xu Yingying actually felt a little disappointed when she heard that, but she still suppressed her inner sadness and nodded and agreed: "Okay."
After all, as the emperor, Li Siqi is more concerned with state affairs.
After Xu Yingying nodded, Li Siqi continued to review memorials. After all, he had just boarded the plane and there were a lot of things waiting for him to deal with in the country.
In the following days, Li Siqi stayed in the Yangxin Palace for several days and never came out again, let alone came to see Xu Yingying.
However, after giving birth, Xu Yingying became a little manic and would often throw things when she was in a bad mood.
These actions soon spread from the harem to the ears of everyone.
Not only Li Siqi, but even the ministers heard about this.
After hearing this, Li Siqi felt that he owed Xu Yingying and did not spend more time with her during her pregnancy, which led to Xu Yingying's bad temper.
When attending court, Li Siqi was in no mood. His mind was full of Xu Yingying.
He wished he could end the morning court immediately and run to Xu Yingying to comfort her.
"Your Majesty, I heard that the Queen's mood is quite unstable, so I suggest that Your Majesty take another concubine into the harem." A minister stood up and said to Li Siqi.
After hearing the minister's words, Li Siqi was quite dissatisfied, but Li Siqi didn't say anything. After all, the minister was also speaking from the perspective of the royal family.
After hearing the minister's advice, other ministers also echoed it.
"Your Majesty, the Queen's mood is indeed unstable, so please expand the harem. This will also add more offspring to the royal family. Why not do it?"
"That's right! In all dynasties, has there ever been an emperor who only had the Empress in his harem? This is totally against the rules."
"Yes, Your Majesty, Your Majesty should recruit concubines as soon as possible to expand the royal family! Your Majesty should think about the royal heir!"
……
All the ministers gave advice to Li Siqi one after another, and these people were all veteran ministers of several generations.
Li Siqi knew how loyal these people were, so he couldn't lose his temper.
"Impossible, please stop trying to persuade me." Li Siqi refused decisively.
After hearing Li Siqi's refusal, all the proud old ministers came out to protest against Li Siqi.
Li Siqi was furious, but he couldn't get angry. "Don't talk about what happened today in front of me anymore. I'm leaving."
After saying this, Li Siqi did not give the ministers a chance to refuse, he turned around and left first.
In desperation, Li Siqi could only leave the court and hide.
Li Siqi, with mixed feelings, came to Xu Yingying's palace. Although Li Siqi wanted to pretend that nothing had happened, his ugly face and the look of being troubled betrayed him.
