The news that the queen was pregnant soon spread throughout the harem of the front dynasty.

As soon as the new emperor ascended the throne, the empress was pregnant with her offspring, which shows that God protected the Dayuan Dynasty, which is a sign of great auspiciousness.

The second day after the good news came, it was the fifth day of the second month, and the ceremony of the queen seal was held.

The ceremony started from the beginning of Si. Amid the festive and grand ritual music, the big Lu Book passed through the main entrance of the palace and slowly drove along the long red lichen paved to the Tai Chi Palace Square. On both sides of the square are civil and military officials, princes and nobles, and female relatives with imperial decrees above the fifth rank in Chang'an City. Standing on a high place, it was a vast crowd, and it was really a huge momentum.

The chariot that only the queen can use is magnificent, with red teeth on the wheels and bright Zhai Yu decorated on both sides of the car, shining brightly under the pure and bright sunshine.

The vehicle stopped, and Tao Ti, dressed in a dress, walked out of the car with the help of two palace maids.

When she started sitting in the car, she was still a little nervous. When her feet were steadily stepping on the soft lichen, her heart was inexplicably settled, and she even thought distractedly. Fortunately, she was sealed in February, which was in summer. Here, the three layers of gorgeous phoenix robe with three layers of outer three layers must be depressed.

After complaining in her heart, she raised her head and saw a man wearing a vermilion dragon-gold-patterned dress on the high white jade steps. His charming peach blossom eyes were smiling, affectionate and focused, and he looked straight at her.

Her heart pounded.

Pei Yan said that the wedding in the East Palace was endless, and this enfeoffment ceremony was the real wedding of the two of them.

When he said this, he stared at her eyes seriously and seriously, as if he had passed through this skin and saw the depths of her soul.

At that moment, she felt her soul burning.

The ritual music continued to ring, and the ritual officer held the imperial edict and recited the fu of the queen in his voice.

As for what she read, Tao Ti didn't hear a word clearly. She looked at Pei Yan's gaze and stepped onto the white jade steps step by step, embroidered with the phoenix sun, behind her skirt.

When she stepped onto the last step, Pei Yan reached out to her, with a warm smile on her thin lips.

Tao Ti also smiled at him, walked forward openly, and placed his hand in his palm.

He held her hand tightly and took her to face everyone below the audience.

At the same time, after reciting the rituals and tributes, neat and loud voices of mountains sounded from the audience—

"Long live the emperor, long live the queen, thousand years!"

Tao Ti looked at the crowd kneeling down in the audience. This strong sense of ceremony was shocking and unforgettable. She felt that the blood in her body was boiling, and her heart seemed to be in the clouds.

She looked slightly, never expecting to meet the man's gaze.

Unlike her shock, his handsome face was a little unexpected, and Tao Ti was a little surprised.

He squeezed her hand tightly and opened his thin lips lightly, "Let me turn around and let them change it. If I live long live long, you will be the same as me."

Tao Ti was stunned. Obviously he didn't expect that he was displeased by such a small matter. He couldn't help laughing, "Just one slogan, it's no big deal."

Pei Yan insisted, with dark eyes burning, and said in a deep voice, "No, I want the same one."

Long live him, she is a thousand years old, what a bastard is this?

Without her by his side, the extra nine thousand years were just a long and unbearable torture.

He naturally knew that a person's life span was only a hundred years, but when it came to her, he became superstitious. Even though he knew that this was just an ordinary word for observance, he was still stubborn.

Taoti chuckled and pinched his fingers to comfort her.

But when she lowered her eyes, the smile in her eyes faded, and a faint sense of sorrow flashed by.

After everyone knelt down and stood up, they saw the emperor and empress on the high platform, with their fingers tightly clasped and intimate.

The emperor, who is usually cold and majestic, has gentle eyebrows and eyes in front of the queen, and is extremely gentle. He is completely different from the decisive and iron-blooded appearance in the court.

The ceremony was carried out in an orderly manner. Even if Pei Yan was pregnant and was afraid that she would be tired, he asked the Ministry of Rites to simplify it again and again, the ceremony was still cumbersome.

The ceremony of the Empress of the Enthronement ended and there was another palace banquet.

When the lively palace banquet fades away, the bright moon is already hanging on the branches.

On the way back, the women couldn't help but sigh—

"Your Majesty is really pampered by the Queen. At the palace banquet, he picks up food for the Queen and delivers a handkerchief. This kind of considerate and meticulousness is really enviable!"

"Who said no! I saw that the Queen seemed to be choked by the water, and His Majesty's face changed suddenly. Tsk tsk, that was so nervous."

"I heard that the Queen's belly is only one month old, and I don't know if it's a prince or a princess. If she gets a man in one day, it would be a great joy."

"Whether the prince or the princess is his majesty's first child, and he is the queen, so the meaning must be different."

"That's right. But then again, there is only one queen in His Majesty's harem. Now the queen is pregnant again, and she will not be able to serve His Majesty for at least a year... Is Your Majesty going to have to give a talent show?"

As soon as these words were said, noble ladies who had daughters of appropriate age at home were full of thoughts.

The new emperor is extremely handsome and graceful, like a god, which makes people awe and can't help but be attracted. Moreover, such an excellent man is so considerate and caring, and it is hard to make people not moved.

Now that the new emperor has ascended the throne, the harem is empty, and the queen is pregnant, isn’t it a good time to fill the harem?

Not only the women are thinking about this, but also the courtiers.

On a March spring day when the ice and snow melted and everything revived, the ministers all wrote letters asking the emperor to choose a show to fill the harem.

The emperor rubbed the delicate dragon patterns on the handrail, looked at the court officials coldly and refused expressionlessly.

As for the reason, it is only said that the queen is pregnant, and the new concubine enters the palace and is troubled by the queen's care of the baby.

He also advised all the officials in turn that it is hard for a woman to get pregnant. If a husband is not considerate and instead takes a concubine to have fun, wouldn’t it disappoint your wife?

All the ministers were speechless and ashamed.

But there were still a few unwilling people to give up and still advise the talent show. Without saying much, the emperor turned around and grabbed an uneasy person, found a mistake, and directly demoted the official and went to Chang'an.

This move has a significant effect in killing the chicken and making aware of the monkey. Those who know the current affairs obediently shut their mouths. As for those who don’t know the current affairs... they all rolled up the bedding and scattered all over the world in shame.

Outside the palace, the noble ladies in Chang'an complained that the queen was jealous and could not serve His Majesty, and they did not advise the emperor to accept a concubine, and they were not virtuous at all. But in private, they were both envious and jealous, and they only felt that the queen was the best woman in the world.

No matter what, no one dared to mention the draft for a while.

****

Spring is gone and autumn comes, and August is coming in a blink of an eye. The autumn is clear and the fragrance of osmanthus is wafting.

On the third day of the eighth month of the first year of Yongning, Chang'an City held an extremely grand and grand wedding - Princess Qingping, the legitimate daughter of Duke Xie Guo's mansion in Longxi, and Xu Guangji, the youngest son of the Dingbei Hou family, formed a good marriage.

That day, brocade banners fluttered and red makeup for ten miles.

Duke Xie and Princess Jingyang personally saw the marriage, and the Marquis Dingbei and the Marquis were greeted by the Marquis at the door. Both families treated the marriage with great sincerity.

As for how lively that day was, Tao Ti couldn't see it with her own eyes—

Her belly has been more than eight months old and is bulging high. The imperial doctor said it was a twin. The palace was cautious and careful. Pei Yan wanted to be by her side all the time, so she could not worry about leaving the palace to join in the fun.

Although he could not be present in person, Tao Ti and Pei Yan prepared a generous gift and sent it to the Marquis of Dingbei.

This glory of the gift given by the emperor and empress is even more icing on the cake of the marriage.

Early the next morning, Qinghe and Xu Guangji entered the palace to thank him.

Looking at Qinghe wearing a hibiscus long dress, her hair was combed as a woman, her eyebrows were affectionate, her pink face was full of spring, and her face looked comfortable and sweet, Tao Ti couldn't help but be happy for her, "It seems that Brother Xu Qi treats you very well."

Qinghe's pink little face blushed, and she lowered her head and said, "Well, he...he's fine."

After saying that, she looked at Tao Ti's round belly, her eyes were curious and envious, "My cousin, you will give birth soon, right?"

Tao Ti touched her stomach and smiled, "Yes, Your Majesty and I are waiting for unloading the goods every day with our fingers."

"I heard that the emperor's brother runs to you every day, and even memorials are placed in your palace to comment."

"The bigger my stomach, the more nervous he is." Tao Ti smiled. She sometimes worried about whether Pei Yan had prenatal anxiety.

"You and the Emperor brother are so good-looking, your little baby must be very beautiful too. When they are born, I will give them a pair of pure gold bracelets."

"Then I'll thank you aunt for them first."

The two chatted happily for a whole morning, and Qinghe followed Xu Guangji out of the palace.

A few days later, it was the Mid-Autumn Festival on August 15th again.

A palace banquet was held in the palace, and Tao Ti also met Duke Xie, who had been heard of the famous name for a long time.

Duke Xie was born tall and tall, with thick eyebrows and big eyes. If you look at your appearance, Qinghe and Duke Xie were more like Princess Jingyang. But from the perspective of their personality, Duke Xie looked like Duke Xie.

I heard that Princess Jingyang was unhappy to marry Duke Xie when she was young. Now, seeing the couple respect each other and their affectionate appearance shows the importance of managing a good marriage.

More than a month passed in the blink of an eye. On the evening of the first day of October, Tao Ti was eating spicy pickled fish. Pei Yan carefully picked fish bones for her.

Suddenly, Tao Ti stopped the chopsticks and said "Ouch".

Pei Yan's eyebrows thumped, "What's wrong?"

Tao Ti frowned, "My stomach hurts a little, it's the kind of shrinking pain... Your Majesty, is it going to give birth?"

Since Tao Ti became pregnant, Pei Yan has read the book about women's childbirth several times in the library. Now, listening to her description, he immediately became excited and helped her, "It should be. Don't be nervous, I'll arrange everything."

After saying that, he calmly directed the palace servants of Weiyang Palace.

The four baby maids lived in the back hall of Weiyang Palace early. When they heard the news that the queen had launched, they threw down their bowls and rushed to the front hall. Linglong also sent a small eunuch to the Imperial Hospital to consult an imperial doctor. For a moment, the boiling water for water, the preparation of ginseng soup for ginseng soup, everything was orderly and in a busy and orderly manner.

Pei Yan was guarding the bedside, holding Tao Ti's hand tightly, and comforted her warmly, "Don't be afraid, I'll be here to accompany you."

Taoti bit her lip, pressed her stomach with one hand, frowned, "It hurts."

When Pei Yan heard this, his brows frowned even tighter and put his hand to her mouth, "If it hurts, don't bite your lip, bite me."

Tao Ti shook her head, "That won't make you feel pain in vain."
