Upon hearing this, Ji Wangshu suddenly laughed.

"In that case, Yao Yao should properly thank her brother today, okay?"

"Sure." Unaware of how treacherous people could be, Xi Yao agreed without hesitation. "What do you want, brother?"

"Brother wants Yao Yao."

"Um?"

At first, Xi Yao didn't react until she was lifted into the air and carried towards the bedroom.

"Huh? Huh?!"

No, how did it turn out like this?

Doesn't her Rejuvenation Pill require points?

The 996 work schedule makes everyone speechless as the world they had finally managed to clean up turns into a mosaic again.

I really can't understand why humans are so enthusiastic about that thing.

Xi Yao, who didn't get up until the next day, angrily bought a twin-birth pill and took it.

Life after marriage didn't change much.

Xi Yao still wakes up naturally every day, then assists Ji Wangshu in handling state affairs in the imperial study, while she manages the affairs of the harem herself.

The only inconvenience might be leaving the palace.

It wasn't that Ji Wangshu wouldn't let her go out, but rather that Xi Yao herself knew how to maintain boundaries and restrained herself.

What kind of talk is it for the mother of a nation to be out and about every day?

A month later.

Xi Yao had just finished meeting with several stewardesses in the harem and hadn't even taken a sip of her tea when Lan Xiang entered, her expression not looking too good.

"What's wrong? Who upset Lanxiang?"

"Your Majesty, those ministers have gone too far," Lanxiang said indignantly. "You and His Majesty have only been married for a little over a month, and some people have already submitted memorials to have His Majesty fill the harem."

Xi Yao thought it was something serious.

She sipped her tea leisurely, which made Lanxiang anxious. "Your Highness, aren't you worried?"

Although she had watched His Majesty cherish the Empress since childhood, men are fickle.

Throughout history, no emperor has ever been able to exclusively favor one woman in his harem.

Even the retired emperor, who was considered one of the least womanizing emperors in history, still had more than a dozen concubines.

Even when he went to the imperial palace for quiet contemplation, he took several concubines with him.

"You still don't trust your Emperor?" Xi Yao put down her teacup and said with a smile, "It's just that some people have become arrogant over the years and want to seek benefits for their own families."

In the beginning, when Ji Wangshu was still the crown prince, many people petitioned him to take a concubine.

However, none of those people fared well. Their chaotic backyard affairs were exposed, and they made no further progress for several years.

For a time, none of the ministers dared to mention the matter again.

Now, several years have passed, and Ji Wangshu has gotten married, and some people's scheming thoughts have resurfaced.

However, Xi Yao trusts her husband.

Having traversed so many worlds, they have only ever had each other.

Lanxiang moved her lips, but in the end, she didn't say anything.

night.

After taking a bath, Ji Wangshu looked at the person lying on the dragon bed with slightly disheveled clothes, and his eyes suddenly darkened.

He took off the undergarment he had just put on, climbed onto the bed, and placed his hands on top of Xi Yao.

"Yaoyao, did you miss me?"

Xi Yao didn't answer, but reached out and poked his pectoral muscle with her finger; it felt as good as ever.

She knew what he meant.

"Are you making excuses for wanting to do bad things again?"

Ji Wangshu groaned and grabbed the hand that was moving lower and lower.

"How could it be a bad thing?" His voice was slightly breathless and restrained, sending chills down one's spine.

Xi Yao broke free and pushed against his chest.

"Since it's not a bad thing, then you can get out of the way."

"Hmm? Get out of the way? That won't do."

Without saying a word, he immediately suppressed it.

The burning kiss, with its forceful intensity, instantly stole Xi Yao's breath.

The temperature rose within the cramped space of the tent.

Ji Wangshu's increasingly sophisticated flirting techniques left Xi Yao completely defenseless.

Before long, he felt hot all over and was covered in sweat.

She was prepared to lie down and let someone do as they pleased, but suddenly she felt something was wrong.

"Wait a minute! Ugh..."

Xi Yao suddenly pushed him away and vomited while leaning over the edge of the bed.

"Yao Yao!"

Ji Wangshu, who was nearly overturned, looked shocked, as if the sky had fallen.

Yao Yao actually vomited after being kissed by him.

They've only been married a short time, and Yao Yao is already starting to hate his kisses?

Could it be that Yao Yao found out about what happened in court today and she's angry?

"Yaoyao, let me explain. Those ministers are just bored and have nothing better to do. I swear, I will only ever love you and no one else. I've already had someone find them some things to do."

At this moment, the usually calm and powerful emperor lost his mind and desperately tried to explain while holding the person.

"No," Xi Yao tried to explain, "I just... vomited..."

Xi Yao, who unexpectedly encountered early and severe pregnancy symptoms, was speechless.

What a wonderful misunderstanding! She had originally planned to surprise someone on their birthday.

Who knew that these two kids would pick such a good time to give their dad a "surprise".

Seeing her distress, Ji Wangshu finally had a sudden inspiration. "Someone, summon the imperial physician!"

After a period of chaos and turmoil.

The imperial physician knelt before the dragon bed, taking the emperor's pulse, his face filled with undisguised astonishment.

They went back and forth several times, as if to confirm whether it was true or false.

"What happened?" Ji Wangshu's heart leaped into his throat upon seeing this. "How is the Empress's health?"

In the end, several imperial physicians took turns taking the pulse, exchanging glances to confirm the diagnosis.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty! Congratulations! Her Majesty the Empress is pregnant!"

"What?!"

Ji Wangshu didn't react for a moment.

The Phoenix Palace was brightly lit, and the figures of the palace maids and eunuchs all carried joy.

Two cups of tea later, the Empress Dowager learned of the good news and almost wept with joy.

She rushed over, sat down by the bed, and took Xi Yao's hand.

"Yaoyao, thank you."

Over the years, no one has been more anxious than her.

She was terrified that her son would have no offspring and that the Great Wei Dynasty would have no heir.

Over the years, they have never stopped searching for folk healers in private.

No matter how many people you consult, they all say there's no solution.

Although Master Yuantong had given his predictions, they dared not slacken their efforts until they saw the results.

Looking at the Empress Dowager, whose eyes were red-rimmed, Xi Yao smiled reassuringly, "Mother, I'm very happy to have given birth to children for my brother. There's no need for thanks."

Her purpose in coming into this world was to bring an heir to the Great Wei Dynasty.

What's more, he was the person she had loved for ten worlds.

"Mother." Xi Yao reached out and wiped away the tears from the Empress Dowager's eyes. "You have a grandson now. This is a joyous occasion, and we should smile more."

"Yes, I should laugh, I should laugh." The Empress Dowager hastily wiped away the tears on her face, then suddenly remembered something. "Yaoyao, I heard you vomited earlier. Is there anything you want to eat? Have the imperial kitchen make it immediately. Something sour should suppress your nausea. Yaoyao, would you like to try it?"

Before Xi Yao could answer, Ji Wangshu, who finally had a chance to speak, immediately replied:

"I have already instructed the Imperial Kitchen to prepare, and I have also sent people out to find some fresh sour plums. They will be delivered soon."

His words finally caught the Empress Dowager's attention. She looked at him sternly and said, "Huaijin, from today onwards you are not allowed to sleep in the same bed as Yaoyao."
