When I was in Qin Dynasty, I really didn't want to make progress

Chapter 305: Women in Qi Palace

The news of Zi Nu's pregnancy spread quickly in the palace, and then spread to Linzi City. This was a matter worth celebrating for the whole of Qi State, so there was naturally no need to hide it.

Although the patriarchal system is not so important in this era, the fact that Yang Chong is about to have a legitimate son is a good thing after all. As for the fact that Zi Nu might be pregnant with a boy but a girl, that is even more insignificant, because with the first child, there can be a second child. Now at least it can be proved that both Yang Chong and Zi Nu have no physical problems.

"Congratulations, Queen." In the Queen's bedroom, Yan Lingji stared with her still clear big eyes, carefully looking at Zi Nu's abdomen. There seemed to be no difference, her waist was still slender, especially with the increasingly plump hips and breasts, it seemed even more slender than before.

It’s hard to imagine how such a thin waist will support a belly that holds a baby in the future. It will definitely be very tiring.

"It's still early, it's still early." Zi Nu stroked her belly. The soft and elastic touch made her obsessed. Yang Chong especially liked to stroke her belly, and now Zi Nu also liked it, but the reasons for their liking were different. Yang Chong liked it because she had a shallow layer of abdominal muscles on her belly, which felt great to touch, while Zi Nu liked it because it inspired the maternal glow.

"It's really hard to imagine that there would be one more person there." Yan Lingji rolled her eyes. For a moment, she felt that she was not that happy. Instead, she had an inexplicable feeling of envy.

Yan Lingji used to think that there didn't need to be anyone or anything between her and Yang Chong. They only needed each other. Over the years, Yan Lingji did so and was happy with it. Although she was of similar age to Zi Nu, unlike Zi Nu's maturity, she still had her own innocence. If possible, she would even keep this innocence forever.

That was Yang Chong's indulgence towards her. How could she let Yang Chong down?

However, when she saw the sincere sense of happiness emanating from Zi Nu, Yan Lingji suddenly realized that she was also a woman, and sometimes absolute freedom did not seem so attractive.

Such a picture emerged in Yan Lingji's mind, she was also pregnant like Zi Nu.

But, what would I look like then? And what would it feel like for a child to appear there? Thinking about it, Yan Lingji became more and more curious.

Perhaps it was because of envy, perhaps it was because she had reached her age and the maternal instinct in a woman's nature was aroused, or perhaps it was because of curiosity, at this moment Yan Lingji suddenly made up her mind in her heart that she wanted to give it a try.

"I can't feel it now, but he does exist. Yan Ling, can you consider it too?" Zi Nu smiled with satisfaction and her gaze slowly shifted to Yan Lingji.

"What am I considering?" Yan Lingji's eyes flashed. She was caught off guard by Zi Nu's sudden attack. She had just come up with an idea when it was exposed by Zi Nu.

"Of course it's because I have a child with him. We are not young anymore." Zi Nu said.

Unlike men, if a man has power, he can prolong his youth, but it is different for women. Time will wear away a woman's youth and destroy her appearance. Even the most beautiful woman will eventually grow old.

"Are we very old? Queen, please don't exaggerate." When Yan Lingji heard the word "age", due to her sensitivity as a woman, her reaction was quite dramatic.

Of course, the gifted Yan Lingji is very talented in resisting the ravages of time. Her special bloodline and high-level martial arts are enough to reduce many of the troubles that ordinary women have to deal with, but that can only delay them, not eliminate them.

When she thought that she would also grow old one day, Yan Lingji felt a chill. It was really hard for her to imagine herself with white hair, dull skin, and skin like dry bark. That look was really too horrible.

Yan Lingji felt that even she would be afraid of herself if she was like that.

If that day really comes, I will probably leave alone. I don't want him to see me like that. I like to be a big sister, not an old woman. Yan Lingji thought to herself. She was a lively person, but she suddenly became sad.

"I'm not young anymore. I didn't feel the importance of time before. But it's different after I turned thirty. After I turned thirty, every day I will feel the ruthlessness of time and the passage of time." Zi Nu sighed. In a blink of an eye, she had already lived half of her life. Although she would not be distressed about wasting time, it was precisely because her current life was so good that she was reluctant to give up everything she had now.

"Why talk about such sad things." For a moment, Yan Lingji was also drawn into Zi Nu's emotions, so she ended Zi Nu's topic.

"I'm just telling you that a child is not just a child to us, he is also the continuation of our life and the continuation of our youth." Zi Nu reminded.

"You know me. I'm not a cultured person. What you said may be right, but I don't understand it." Yan Lingji rolled her eyes at Zi Nu. If she continued to be led by Zi Nu, she would become sad. She might rush into the place where Yang Chong was in retreat, and then squeeze Yang Chong severely until she could hold a child in her arms.

"You." Zi Nu looked at the rogue Yan Lingji and didn't know what to say for a moment.

While Zi Nu was talking to Yan Lingji, the women living in various places in the King Qi's harem also arrived one after another. After all, Zi Nu was pregnant, and this was not just Zi Nu's matter, but also the matter of their entire family. Besides, even if it was normal social interaction, they should come to congratulate.

At once, Niu Shang, Hong Lian, E Huang, Chao Nu Yao, Ying Ge, even Yue Shen and Yan Fei all appeared in Zi Nu's bedroom. These people were all first-class beauties, and their delicate faces put together could be said to be a riot of colour.

With everyone talking to each other, the atmosphere in the entire bedroom was quite joyful.

It stands to reason that where there are people, there is the world of martial arts, not to mention that there is a group of women gathered together in this harem. However, these women of the Yang family are relatively harmonious with each other.

Zi Nu and Nong Yu are sisters, and the relationship between them will not change because of a man. As for Zi Nu and Yan Ling Ji, they actually have a tacit understanding. Zi Nu is responsible for housekeeping, and Yan Ling Ji is responsible for being free.

There is also Niu Shang, the female killer who came from Luowang. She seems to have rich experience, but in fact she is the one with the simplest mind. It is so simple that apart from motherhood, it is difficult to see the so-called humanity in her.

As for Honglian, this little princess who had just experienced the pain of losing her country not long ago has grown up a lot. In addition, she is familiar with Zi Nu, Yan Lingji, and Nong Yu, so she has a very good relationship with the women in the palace. Although Chao Nu Yao is a troublemaker, she used to do so, but in the Qi Palace, she can only restrain her nature. After all, Yang Chong is not Han Wangan, and Zi Nu and others are not comparable to the women in Han Palace.

Besides, the reason why Chao Nuyao likes to stir up trouble is mainly because as a woman, she has no place to vent her energy. But it is different in the Palace of Prince Qi. In the Palace of Prince Qi, she does not have such vigorous and excess energy that needs to be vented. Who lets her have a man who can satisfy her now?
It's really a case of heroes having no place to use their skills, but only land can be used. The tide witch looked at the happy situation in front of her. Although it was a little inappropriate, she didn't have any inappropriate thoughts.

It seems that the king will soon come out of seclusion, right? Then... Chao Nuyao thought, feeling a little anxious.

I always thought I was the best at seduction, but I am far behind you. The tide demon now felt that time was passing too slowly.

The women in the bedroom looked very happy. Zi Nu also pulled Ni Shang to ask about what a pregnant woman should pay attention to.

However, in response to Zi Nu's questioning, Niu Shang hesitated for a long time and couldn't even give a clear answer.

"Sister Niu Shang, please don't be secretive." Seeing Niu Shang hesitant, Hong Lian, who didn't understand what was going on, interrupted and joked.

"I didn't, it's just..." Niu Shang wanted to defend herself, but she really didn't know how to say it.

Although her two children are already ten years old, as a person who has experienced it, she should know a lot of things, but in fact it is not as it should be.

Not only did her mission fail because of Yang Chong, but she also lost her virginity. She thought she would never have any contact with Yang Chong again in her life. However, she never expected that although she left Yang Chong, Yang Chong left his mark in her body.

When she was still half aware of the situation, she actually got pregnant. As for other things, Niu Shang really didn't feel anything unusual. Apart from the fact that she felt a little tired during childbirth, there seemed to be nothing else.

Therefore, when Zi Nu asked her what she needed to pay attention to during pregnancy, she really couldn't answer for a moment. It seemed that she didn't pay attention to anything at the time and just did what she should do.

How could Niu Shang know that she was just a special existence. After all, in another time and space, she was able to kill a group of Luowang killers who were chasing her with a big belly. When it comes to the tenacity of life, among the many women present, no one could touch her.

"I think, with Niu Shang's personality, she probably didn't even know anything before she found that she couldn't walk." Yan Lingji joked.

"Huh?" Upon hearing this, everyone looked at Niu Shang. How could such a thing be possible?

"This, I found out about it was already late. Someone else told me, and I didn't feel anything afterwards. Several months later, I realized what had happened." Seeing that Yan Lingji had rescued her, Niu Shang looked at her gratefully, and then quickly followed Yan Lingji's words.

Honglian wanted to say something but Chao Nvyao had already pinched her hand. Honglian had a big ravine on her chest but her heart was as smooth as a piece of white paper. She had offended someone without realizing it. Chao Nvyao had to remind her. After all, Honglian was a very important factor in her being able to stay in the King Qi's palace.

"It seems that I have to be a pioneer this time." Zi Nu joked, in order to diffuse the sudden strange atmosphere. She certainly would not think that Niu Shang was hiding something, and she had a very accurate grasp of Niu Shang's character. She knew that although Niu Shang was no longer Luo Wang's female killer, she had been trained as a killer by Luo Wang since she was a child, so she really could not be treated with the eyes of an ordinary person.

To some extent, Niu Shang's career as a killer only made her life unusual but not more complicated. It can even be said that among all those present, Niu Shang was the simplest one.

This female killer who was so simple-minded that she only knew how to kill people, now she probably can't even kill people anymore and has become a woman who only knows how to take care of children.

"The queen is loved by heaven and earth, so she can become a pioneer." The flatterer Chao Nuyao offered her smile at the right time.

"That's wrong. Without my efforts, it wouldn't have been possible. Chao Nuyao, where do you put me?" Amidst the singing and laughter, Yang Chong's voice suddenly appeared, causing Chao Nuyao, who was still flattering, to freeze.

"Have you succeeded?" Before Chao Nuyao could react, Yan Lingji had already come to Yang Chong's side. Among these women, she was the one who was most attached to Yang Chong.

"Of course. I heard the news as soon as I came out of seclusion. Queen, have you finally got what you wished for this time?" Yang Chong let Yan Lingji hold his arm and came to Zi Nu's side.

"So should I also thank the king?" The steady Zi Nu winked at Yang Chong at this time, with a very naughty and pretty look. Obviously, Zi Nu was in a very good mood.

"You should thank me sincerely." Yang Chong said shamelessly.

Sure enough, the next moment a clear laugh rang out from the crowd. Honglian had already laughed out loud. It was really too funny to see Yang Chong acting like a good boy after getting the advantage.

Of course, the only person who laughed out loud was Honglian. Chao the demon girl was well aware of the rules of survival in the palace. Yang Chong was her heaven. She was too busy trying to please him to do anything that might embarrass Yang Chong.

And Niu Shang always acts as if everything has nothing to do with me except the children. As for Yan Lingji, in her eyes, everything about Yang Chong is good, even when Yang Chong is shameless, so the Yang Chong she sees is not that funny.

Of course, among the women present there were Yue Shen, Yan Fei, E Huang and others, but their relationship with Yang Chong was not pure, nor was it as close as that between Zi Nu and Yan Ling Ji. Even if they wanted to laugh, they were still somewhat reserved and restrained.
