Quick Wear: The Heirless Boss Wants to Get Close to Her Every Day

Chapter 117: The Abstinent Emperor vs. the Stunning Beauty (38)

The imperial physician and the palace maid left the inner room. Qin Hao held Shen Shuyi tightly in his arms, gently resting his head on her cheek, and spoke in a hoarse voice.

"I am very happy."

Shen Shuyi raised her head and kissed him on the cheek, then gently stroked his belly, "I'm happy too."

When the court officials learned that the queen was pregnant again, they all became anxious. Thinking that the queen would be unable to serve the emperor, they advised Qin Hao to select more beauties to fill the harem and expand the royal family.

Shen Shuyi coaxed Xier to sleep, and just as he was about to go to bed to rest, he was called over by the emperor who was reading memorials at his desk.

Qin Hao pulled her to sit in his arms, picked up a memorial to the emperor and showed it to her, and asked, "What does the queen think?"

Shen Shuyi was puzzled. She looked down at the memorials. Several ministers had united to ask the emperor to hold a beauty contest.

I caught a glimpse of the emperor's mischievous look.

She pretended to be calm and said in a virtuous and dignified tone, "My health is getting worse and I am unable to serve Your Majesty. You really need to have more beauties."

Qin Hao's smiling eyes suddenly became deep and he looked at her quietly.

"Does the Queen really think so?"

Shen Shuyi casually threw the memorial on the table and sneered, "Does Your Majesty want me to pester you to disband the harem? And issue an order to never again select concubines?"

Qin Hao felt very relieved when he saw her angry look.

He stroked Shen Shuyi's slightly furrowed brows and said in a loud voice, "Why not?"

"Tomorrow morning I will issue an order to disband the harem and never select concubines again!"

Qin Hao sighed, feeling distressed when he thought of her poor appetite during this pregnancy.

He didn't want her to encounter any more accidents, so he had been planning to disband the harem. Now that the time was ripe, he should disband her. Why would he hold a beauty contest?

Shen Shuyi suddenly raised her head, clutched his collar with her little hands, and looked at him with red eyes.

"Your Majesty is very kind."

Seeing that she was about to cry, Qin Hao hurriedly picked her up and put her on the couch. Just as he was about to get up, Shen Shuyi hugged his neck and kissed him.

Her eagerness and enthusiasm made Qin Hao's eyes even deeper.

Just as he bent down recklessly, he suddenly remembered the imperial physician's advice that he should be extra careful in the first three months.

He had no choice but to restrain himself, holding her, letting her kiss him and not letting her get tired.

Shen Shuzhi didn't respond to him, and raised his eyes to meet the man's dark eyes.

Her face flushed and she buried her head in the man's chest, "Go to sleep."

Qin Hao didn't review any memorials. He lifted the quilt and came up to hold her to sleep, and his hand habitually stroked her belly gently.

Suddenly, he said, "Shuyi, why do I feel that your belly is much bigger than when you were pregnant with Xier?"

Shen Shuyi's eyes flashed with cunning, "Today the imperial physician said that it is very likely that she is pregnant with twins."

"Twins?" Qin Hao paused. "Did the doctor tell me anything to pay attention to?"

"You are a delicate person, can you bear these twins?"

Shen Shuyi had already taken pregnancy-preserving pills, so nothing would go wrong. What's more, she was not pregnant with twins, but triplets!

It was all Tongzi's fault for always saying that the multiple birth pills would cause broken bones. Anyway, she had a painless delivery, and her body recovered quickly after taking the repair pills provided by the system.

There was no shortage of people in the palace to take care of the little prince and princess, so she decisively took the third-birth pill.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. I will be fine."

"It's just that you have to spend more time with Xi'er during this period. I'm quite sleepy during pregnancy and don't have that much energy to play with Xi'er."

Xier is three years old now. He is not naughty, but very sensible. He likes to accompany the emperor to review memorials or study with the prince's tutor on weekdays.

The emperor doted on him and wanted to take him to the morning court with him. "Don't worry about that. I will take him to the morning court with me starting tomorrow." The emperor's eyes were gentle.

Shen Shuyi smacked his lips. Well, this emperor is a crazy darling.

The emperor's dismissal of the harem caused a shock throughout the court and the country.

Originally, he had few concubines in his harem and had never favored them. When he dismissed them, he gave them dowries and allowed them to choose their husbands and remarry.

When some concubines from aristocratic families were dismissed, their relatives were promoted, and now no one was dissatisfied.

Even though Concubine Yi and Concubine Li were unwilling and jealous of the Queen, the Queen became pregnant, so they had to leave the palace sadly.

……

When Shen Shuyi was five months pregnant, the barbarians invaded, and Qin Hao led the army personally.

Before going to the battle, Qin Hao personally coaxed Xier to sleep, and then he held Shen Shuyi and talked to her.

"Shuyi, I have arranged for people in the palace to protect you and Xier. You must take care of yourself. I will try my best to come back before the baby is born."

Shen Shuyi looked at him quietly, "We'll wait for you to come back."

Qin Hao kissed her forehead and said, "I am personally leading the army this time to unify the world and create a stable and prosperous era for Xi'er and the others."

He slowly told Shen Shuyi about the court and the country, the chaos in the world, and his hard work and ambition. He was sure that he could ascend to the supreme position of overlord.

Shen Shuyi took his hand and handed the life-saving pills that had been exchanged from the system to Qin Hao. "Swords and guns have no eyes on the battlefield. Your Majesty, be careful."

Qin Hao felt very relieved when he heard the caring words from her. "Take good care of yourself and the emperor."

……

Although Qin Hao had left the royal capital, every time the military report was sent back, a letter from home would be delivered to Shen Shuyi.

Shen Shuyi sat aside watching Xier doing homework while opening and reading letters from home.

When she saw "Everything is fine, don't worry", her eyes were already red. The prince next to her seemed to notice his mother's emotional fluctuations and turned around.

"Mother, is it a letter from the Emperor?"

"Well, she said she missed Xier and even wrote a letter to Xier." Shen Shuyi pulled him over and asked him to read it together. "Xier has learned a lot of words recently, so how about letting Xier read the letter to mother?"

"Okay!" Qin Xi, with rosy lips and white teeth, patted his chest and began to read.

"The ice and snow in the north have melted, and the flowers on the road are blooming. I remember Xi wanted to die, but I don't know how to make him come back. Don't worry about me. Yes, yes, command."

After Qin Xi finished reading, he took the letter and turned around to lie in Shen Shuyi's arms, buried his red-eyed face in her shoulder, sniffed, and said, "Mother, when will father come back?"

"I miss my father."

Shen Shuyi gently stroked his back and said, "When Xi'er can recite and memorize the Thousand Character Classic, your father will return to the palace."

Qin Xi's eyes lit up, "Yeah!"

……

There was frequent good news coming from outside the palace, but unfortunately Shen Shuyi was pregnant with her third child and went into labor before the army returned to the capital.

The Weiyang Palace was heavily guarded inside and outside. The Empress Dowager was supported by someone and sat trembling outside the delivery room. She looked at basins of blood being brought out. Her eyes almost went black, but she still held on.

The emperor was not in the palace, so she, as the empress dowager, should be in charge of everything and must not allow anyone to harm the empress and the unborn baby.

Dusk fell, the sky was full of stars, and a bright moon was at its zenith. At this time, the loud cry of a baby was heard from the house.

The Empress Dowager kept repeating "May our ancestors bless you" as tears rolled down her eyes.

At this moment, a tall figure broke into the Weiyang Palace, and the heavy armor on his body made a collision sound with the sharp sword.

"Your Majesty has returned to the palace!"
