Work overtime

Chapter 733

Li Beichen listened blankly to Jiang Yuebai babble there, lost in Jiang Yuebai's career mind.

He loves a woman who is beautiful, smart, gentle, generous, capable, caring about him, willing to give her life for him, and shy and seductive.

In modern times, it means marrying a beautiful, virtuous and capable wife who can manage the household well, help you in your career, and is not jealous or prone to temper.

It's just too perfect.

What about the harem not interfering in government affairs, what about beautiful women causing trouble? It was because the emperor himself was incapable and lacked determination.

His Adam's apple rolled up and down, his eyes full of admiration, he lifted her chin, blocked her still chattering mouth, and expressed his surging love with a kiss.

This was the first time he kissed her in a long time.

Lingering, passionate and exciting.

"Hey, hey, hey, I haven't finished yet. How come we're talking about natural disasters, national affairs, and people's livelihood, and now we're talking about love..."

Jiang Yuebai didn't finish the above words, and Li Beichen couldn't hear them either, because they all turned into "Um, um, um, um..."

Li Beichen closed his eyes, and kissed passionately until he forgot himself, immersed in the strong love.

Snowflakes were falling outside the window, and the candle flames were flickering in the room.

On the table beside them were a few fresh red plum blossoms, as red as flames. He had cut them himself, picking out the ones he thought were the most beautiful, just so she would like them.

Dongqing and Xiazhi immediately backed away with red faces, trying not to laugh, and closed the door.

Dong Qing leaned close to Xia Zhi's ear and asked excitedly, "Sister Xia Zhi, have the Emperor and the Empress always been so loving?"

Xia Zhi smiled and nodded desperately.

"What a loving couple." Dongqing said enviously.

She felt that there was no such loving relationship in the storybooks.

The queens in the storybooks were all very vicious and had bad intentions. They often bullied the concubines and got rid of the concubines' children. The emperor generally didn't like the queen, but preferred the concubine and the new woman. It was just a routine thing for him to be with the queen. How could the emperor and the queen be so inseparable?

It was unknown how long Li Beichen held her down and kissed her before Jiang Yuebai finally pushed him away.

She lowered her head, her face flushed, her heart pounding, she breathed heavily, her body went limp, and she stroked her chest for a long time, unable to speak.

"Are you okay?" Li Beichen bent down carefully, put his face down, and looked up at Jiang Yuebai.

Jiang Yuebai pushed Li Beichen's face, stroked her belly, and slowly walked to a chair and sat down.

Li Beichen moved closer to the chair, half-knelt on the ground, and approached Jiang Yuebai, "Are you angry with me?"

"No." Jiang Yuebai was still breathing lightly.

She hated herself for not being able to push him away just now. Not only that, she also felt the desire in her heart to kiss him.

He had just kissed her without any other physical contact. She felt a warmth and love she had never felt before. Her whole body and mind seemed to respond.
Li Beichen reached out and touched his bulging belly, and found that he had been kicked hard by a small foot. A bulge appeared on his belly, just like the outline of a small foot.

It seemed to be saying, "Damn daddy, don't bully mom!"

Li Beichen curiously and happily observed the changes on Jiang Yuebai's belly, which went up and down, like a game of whack-a-mole.
Delighted and shocked at every sudden kick.

The birth of life is truly amazing.

He held Jiang Yuebai's hand and looked up at her, "Thank you, Jiaojiao."

He gave the back of her hand a deep kiss.

"When do you think our baby will be born? Will it be tonight? Or will it be on my birthday?" "When is your birthday?"

"The second day of the twelfth lunar month."

"There's still about a month left."

"I'm looking forward to meeting the five little ones. They must be very naughty and cute."

When Li Beichen said this, many bulges appeared on his belly, as if to say, "Daddy, you are naughty, you are the most naughty."

The emperor's birthday is the Wanshou Festival.

The newly arrived concubines all have some talents and they all want to perform well at the Wanshou Festival.

The Honglu Temple also reported to the emperor that many neighboring countries and foreign envoys would come to pay homage before the Wanshou Festival.

Huanhuan Qier had not yet unified the grassland, and there were still many tribes on the grassland. Several large tribes sent envoys over, especially the tribes that wanted to marry Li Beihong. They were unwilling to be annexed by Huanhuan Qier and just wanted to live their own independent lives, so they were willing to pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty.

News came from the south that Hu Hancang, a traitor in Annan who had declared himself king, had sent people to assassinate the 10,000 troops led by Madam Xie. Madam Xie pretended to be beaten and fled in panic, but in fact she dispersed them and led them into the ambush of Princess Zhaoyun.

After wiping out this group of assassination troops, they left several of their leaders behind, with General Zhennan as the commander-in-chief, Princess Zhaoyun and Madam Xie as the left and right deputy military officers to assist. In the name of eliminating traitors and restoring the royal family, they led a million troops, divided into two groups, and marched into Baihe River in Annan to meet up.

In order to seek justice for the son of the Chen State, the Ming Dynasty issued a manifesto, stating that the actions of Le Qui Ly and his son were "wanton violence and cruelty to the whole country", and listed twenty crimes of the Hu family, such as the murder of the former king of Annan twice to seize the country, "the thieves killed almost all the descendants of the Chen family", and stated that the arrival of the Ming army was to "comfort the suffering of the people and restore the Chen family's ancestral temple", so as to shake the people's hearts. The Ming army advanced smoothly and received frequent reports of victory.

In November, the emperor favored Xiao Zhaoyi again and accomplished what he had failed to do last month; Cairen Xie was promoted to noble lady; Cairen Yuan was promoted to noble lady; Cairen Yang was promoted to noble lady.

In a blink of an eye, it was the end of the eleventh lunar month and the beginning of the first solar month. In three days it would be the Wanshou Festival.

Li Beichen sat upright on the dragon throne, his eyes sharp as torches, listening attentively to reports from various departments.

Among them, Kong Shijie, the Minister of the Honglu Temple, reported that envoys from Persia, Siam, Japan and other countries had arrived in the capital and were arranged to stay in the Sifang Pavilion. They hoped to come to the palace to pay homage on his birthday.

Li Beichen nodded slightly, and after thinking for a moment, he said, "Since they have come from afar, we cannot neglect the guests. Pass the order down, and prepare everything according to the highest standards of courtesy. We must make sure that the envoys of various countries can feel the sincerity of our Ming Dynasty."

Li Beichen then ordered the Honglu Temple to take care of the daily reception of the envoys in terms of food, clothing, housing and transportation, the Ministry of Rites to take care of the ceremonial reception, the Jinyiwei and Jinwuwei and other departments to take care of the security work for the Wanshou Festival, and all kinds of people must be checked for dangerous goods before entering the palace, and the previous assassination of the late queen must not happen again.

In a blink of an eye, it was almost eight months, and Jiang Yuebai's belly had grown bigger, but there was still no sign of labor.

Jiang Xian looked at Jiang Yuebai's extremely big belly and was worried about Jiang Yuebai's safety. He suggested performing a caesarean section as soon as possible, which would be a birthday gift for the emperor.

He had performed several caesarean sections. The first time he had no experience, an accident occurred. Although he successfully saved three fetuses, the pregnant woman died of heavy bleeding. He carefully dissected the pregnant woman's body, confirmed the internal tissue structure of the parturient, summarized the experience and lessons, and made a lot of notes and reflections.

The biggest difference between top geniuses and ordinary people is that they can quickly draw inferences from one instance and have strong spatial imagination. It was just one dissection, and the subsequent Caesarean sections were all very successful.

Jiang Xian reported the operation situation to Li Beichen truthfully, which made Li Beichen feel more assured about Jiang Yuebai's safety.

In fact, he also hoped that Jiang Yuebai could give birth to a prince before the Wanshou Festival. This would be the most anticipated and precious gift for his 21st birthday. By then, there would be court ministers, royal ladies, and foreign envoys. It could be said to be double happiness. It not only meant the continuation of the imperial power and the peace of mind of the people, but also enhanced the prestige of the country, demonstrated the strength and prosperity of the royal family, and meant that the prince would become a monarch favored by heaven and have a higher prestige from birth.

Although he secretly had expectations in his heart, he still chose to respect Jiang Yuebai and look forward to the natural arrival of the child with her.

On this day, the newspaper company was also making intensive preparations.

In the past, the highest-ranking and opera-loving Concubine Ye became the president of the storytelling society, and the storytelling kings Lu Cairen and Xu Cairen were vice presidents. Concubine Zhao and Yuan Dongni were the mainstays, and the rest of the concubines were extras.

Concubine Ye summoned everyone to the Yanxi Palace. As a result, an accident that looked like a conspiracy occurred, and the delicate hands of Concubine Zixuan, the pillar of the palace, were severely burned.

Just when the palace maid who served tea came over, Concubine Yang happened to stand up. Her maid was worried that the tea would scald her master, so she pushed the palace maid who served tea. As a result, the palace maid stumbled and scalded Concubine Xuan who was standing next to her.

The fans are angry.

You can burn anyone else's hand, but you can't burn the heroine's delicate hand. This is something only the vicious female supporting role would do.
