When he arrived at a secret place he often went to, Zhao Yu arranged for someone to invite the second prince to come and meet.

When the second prince came here, it was getting dark. As soon as he saw Zhao Yu, he said, "It is hard to arrange it for you here. I can't find it if there is no one to lead the way."

Zhao Yu personally made tea for the second prince, "Second brother, sit and drink tea."

The second prince looked at Zhao Yu with a meaningful look. His younger brother was quite inconspicuous in the past. Whenever he saw him, he would only think of the prince. After all, without the indulgence of the prince, Zhao Yu would not live as comfortable as he could.

Everyone knows that the prince is the backer of his mischief, but I don’t know when this younger brother gradually came to the forefront, and now he is the most dazzling one except the prince and the fourth brother.

Many people talked about Lao Jiu's bloodline behind their backs, laughing at him as a bastard, and even saying that he was not born by the emperor, but the seed of the late emperor, but he did not believe this statement. The old man is not a person who can help others raise children, especially the posthumous son of the late emperor and Concubine Rou. There is only one explanation for Lao Jiu to grow up, that is, the old man has tested his bloodline and is sure that this is his child.

The eldest brother has the same view as him on this issue. They are the oldest princes and have a clearer understanding of what happened back then, so they have never suspected that Zhao Yu is not the emperor's child.

Thinking of his elder brother, his expression became gloomy. He thought that the two brothers could pull the prince off the horse, but the prince still sat firmly in the Eastern Palace. The elder brother went to the second wife Yan Yiliu's mother's house and ended up like this. In the future, the prince would not even have a way out.

He did not have the ability to fight alone. When he reached middle age, he would not be able to fall into the eyes of his father. No matter how the throne was, he would not be his turn. After realizing this reality, the two brothers would have to find a way out and bet on others with all their might.

As for why Zhao Yu was chosen instead of the fourth brother?

This is how he explained to Zhao Yu, "Brother is optimistic about you and thinks you are doing practical things seriously. This will benefit the country and the people. As for the fourth brother..." He shook his head. Just based on the fourth brother's rescue performance, I am afraid that my father will feel disgusted. Only the fourth brother feels good.

Zhao Yu knew at a glance that everyone could see clearly about the character of the fourth child. The seemingly open-minded fourth child is actually the most petty person. When dealing with such a person, he doesn’t know when he will be eaten by him?

"What if I can't do anything?" He smiled while adding tea to the second prince.

The second prince laughed, "Since I chose the wrong corner by betting, my elder brother and I also accepted it." He looked upright, and he looked at Zhao Yu and said, "I believe neither I nor my elder brother will misunderstand."

Zhao Yu raised his eyebrows, so confident?

However, it is a novel experience to talk straight to the second brother like this. Many things you don’t usually say can be talked about now.

The second brother was no longer on guard, and Zhao Yu felt it bluntly, especially after entering the banquet and drinking, the second brother let himself go and dared to say anything. This made his understanding of the second brother refresh his life. He was also a person who followed Da Qiansheng, the second brother was more realistic than the seventh brother.

Rong Jingqiu didn't know how Zhao Yu talked with the second prince, and was afraid that he would drink outside, so he had someone cooked the sobering soup and warmed it on the stove. At this moment, spring thunder sounded outside. Rong Jingqiu suddenly lifted the curtain from the inner room and saw a flash of lightning flashing in the dark night, followed by heavy rain.

"Girl, it's raining, it's raining..." The maids cheered excitedly.

In recent years, I have never seen heavy rain like this. It will only rain a few times, otherwise how could it be drought and lost harvest?

Rong Jingqiu stood under the eaves, reached out to pick up the rain, feeling the cold feeling, and then she truly felt the nectar falling from innocence.

"Girl, be careful of catching a cold." Lin An took the cloak handed over by Mei'er and put it on Rong Jingqiu, "Spring rain is as expensive as oil, which is a good omen."

Rong Jingqiu wiped the rainwater from her hands with a veil, then put the cloak together, agreeing with Lin An's words. This rain indicates that this round of drought may be over.

When Zhao Yu came back, the rain was in full swing. Rong Jingqiu heard the sound and hurriedly came up. As soon as he got closer, he smelled the smell of wine. So he said, "It seems that he has drunk a lot. Mei'er, please come and bring sober soup."

Zhao Yu held Rong Jingqiu with a hand and said with a smile, "I'll have a few more drinks if I'm happy today."

No matter what the boss and the second brother had, he had the final say in his hands, and he was not afraid that they would leave behind their backs. In short, this was good news for him.

"The Second Prince and the others have not set traps?" Rong Jingqiu asked in a low voice. It would be amazing if these things cannot be made public.

Zhao Yu waved his hand, "Don't worry, I know what's going on."

When she heard her husband say this, Rong Jingqiu stopped saying anything. Zhao Yu has been walking on this road for so many years and has a much better judgment on the situation than her. She cannot show off her skills.

As soon as he sat on the Arhat bed, Zhao Yu lay on Rong Jingqiu's stomach, obviously using his ears to listen to the child's movements.

Rong Jingqiu pushed him away with a funny look, "He hasn't taken shape yet, what can you hear?"

"But I really heard something." Zhao Yu looked at her with his eyes open.

The innocent look made Rong Jingqiu feel embarrassed and wanted to blow his dog's head. In fact, this should be the sound of intestinal motility.

It seemed that he was really drunk. She pushed him away, but Zhao Yu was pushed down on the Arhat's bed without hesitation. He fell asleep shortly after.

Rong Jingqiu was waiting for his reaction, but when she turned around, she was sleeping soundly and was speechless. She could only send someone to the inner room to hold the bed and cover him gently.

The next day, when Rong Jingqiu woke up, she saw Zhao Yu sleeping beside her, looking at the rain outside the window all night.

She shrank into his arms a little coldly, "When did you wake up?"

"It seems that after the drought, it will be flooding." Zhao Yu suddenly said.

Rong Jingqiu was stunned. The conversation between the two was simply inconsistent, but what Zhao Yu said was likely to happen, "It's time for the Ministry of Revenue to pay more attention."

"The Ministry of Revenue has no money." Zhao Yu turned his head to look at her and said, "The Ministry of Works must do the prevention. Don't worry about this. Keep the fetus safe. This rainy weather will be much colder, be careful not to freeze."

Rong Jingqiu yawned in a delicate manner. She was not an official in the court and could not worry about it. So she turned around and prepared to go to bed and get back to sleep.

When Zhao Yu got up, he tucked her quilt, put a kiss on her forehead, and then went to wash.

As Zhao Yu said, it started to rain and it started to fall non-stop. Waterlogging occurred everywhere, and the court was busy everywhere. There was almost nothing that went well in recent years. The emperor rarely got angry for several rounds.

Rong Jingqiu has not entered the palace to pay tribute to the queen since she became pregnant, but the queen's reward was sent from time to time. No matter what she gave, she directly sent someone to the warehouse and did not use it. Who knows if there is any poison hidden in the things that the queen rewarded?

She would rather judge a gentleman's ambition than take risks with the child in her belly.

Even though she has just been pregnant for a while, she has started looking for a candidate for a stable woman to deliver her baby.

Princess Qinglan has a great say in this issue. "I have found all the peaceful wives I used for production to be used in your house. These individuals were selected by my mother's mother, so I will definitely feel at ease with the use of those in the palace."

While eating the sour and sweet candied fruit, Rong Jingqiu said, "That's good. I can definitely trust the candidate you recommend. Anyway, I don't plan to ask the palace's wife to deliver my baby."

Even in her previous life, she had been guarding against the treacherous woman in the palace, but even so, the final result made her not want to recall it now. She shook her head slightly, and she wanted to shake all the unhappiness.

Princess Qinglan didn't know that her mood had been over several ups and downs, and she was still saying, "Is it good for morning sickness? I also have good candied fruits over there. I will send them to you. It is a different flavor from yours, and you can change the taste..."

Rong Jingqiu shook her head and said, "I have been pregnant for more than four months now. I don't have much morning sickness. I just slightly retching when I wake up in the morning. I can eat and sleep well at other times."

The same was true for her pregnancy in her previous life, and the children in her belly were not very troubled.

Thinking of this, she frowned and said hurriedly, "Is this abnormal? Hut lady, go and ask the imperial physician to come to the mansion to take the pulse..."

Princess Qinglan was shocked when she saw that the wind was like rain. After all, she was not like this before. "Don't worry, this can only say that the child in your belly feels sorry for you and will not let you work too hard..."

"You don't understand..." Rong Jingqiu's face was almost wrinkled. Why did she neglect this problem? She touched her belly, and the expression on her face was in amazement and doubt, and obviously her heart was ups and downs.

This reaction scared Princess Qinglan. She held Rong Jingqiu's cold hand, "Don't scare yourself. Everyone has different manifestations when pregnant. We must think in a good direction. Don't think about it..."

When Rong Jin came to visit Rong Jingqiu, she saw her daughter leaning against Princess Qinglan's arms with a pale face, and was ecstatic. She was so scared that she hurried forward and said, "What's wrong?" She was obviously fine before, but it was something wrong with the child in her belly, right?

Princess Qinglan didn’t know how to explain it. She still doesn’t understand that it is obviously a very normal topic. Why did her little sister react so much?

Rong Jinshi hurriedly said good things to comfort Rong Jingqiu. She was a veteran and knew that pregnant women were prone to thinking more, so she probably had this problem.

Lin An led the imperial physician in an anxious look to take care of Rong Jingqiu's pulse. The imperial physician was the one who announced that Rong Jingqiu was pregnant last time. This man had a good relationship with Doctor Xu and knew the truth. The key was that he had no contact with all the masters in the harem, but he could use it with confidence.

"Doctor Zhen, come and see what's wrong with my family leader?" Lin An was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.

Doctor Zhen calmly took Rong Jingqiu's pulse, and then stroked his goatee beard under several pairs of eager eyes and said, "The Ninth Princess is very healthy and the fetus is well developed..."

"Are you sure?" Rong Jingqiu suddenly sat up from Princess Qinglan's arms and asked, "But why don't I have much morning sickness? Could it be that the child has three or two shorts in his abdomen..."

Imperial Doctor Zhen has been an imperial physician for some years and has dealt with various pregnant nobles. Rong Jingqiu is not the first pregnant woman to be suspicious like this, so he said confidently, "Princess, why do you think so? As the saying goes, everyone has different faces, it is the same when you are pregnant. Not everyone's reaction during pregnancy is exactly the same, there will always be some differences..." After a pause, "Besides, there is no reaction during this pregnancy, it does not mean that the child is dysplasia. Please relax, you are young and healthy, and your child is very healthy..."

After repeated assurances from Doctor Zhen, Rong Jingqiu's face became a little bloody. She was worried that fate would make her joke, and she could not withstand another blow.

"Your thoughts and thoughts are not conducive to the fetus maintenance. You must relax so that the fetus can grow well."

Rong Jingqiu nodded quickly to indicate that she understood, but Doctor Zhen knew that he would have to go to the Nine Princes' Mansions more in the future.

As expected, Rong Jingqiu called him to take the pulse every few days, and said the same thing. He was worried that the child in his confidant would not develop well, so he also repeatedly promised that he barely dispelled her doubts again.

In the end, he had to say to Zhao Yu, "The princess seemed to have some imagination, and always felt that the child in her belly would have an accident. The prince still had to pay attention to the emotional reaction of the pregnant woman..."

He suspected that Zhao Yu didn't know if he did something, which made Rong Jingqiu so insecure, so he was thinking randomly. Of course, he didn't dare to say that Rong Jingqiu had hysteria.

Zhao Yu had actually noticed Rong Jingqiu's abnormality for a long time. She should have been happy that the maids around her got married one after another, but she had nightmares recently and she had lost a lot of weight. This made him see it and hurt in his heart. He knew that there was something wrong with her heart, but he couldn't find where the symptom was?

Now that he heard Doctor Zhen say this, he had no choice but to nod and said, "I will talk to her."

Seeing this, Doctor Zhen didn't say anything else and prescribed a fetal medicine for Rong Jingqiu to take. He was not worried at first, but Rong Jingqiu's current behavior made him start to worry. If the pregnant woman continues like this, it will be difficult for her to last until the time of giving birth.

The weather was getting hotter at this time, and Rong Jingqiu's belly was as big as a watermelon. She was lying on the imperial concubine's couch in loose clothes and looking at the scenery outside the window, and she was ecstatic until Zhao Yu came over to carry her into her arms. She realized, "Are you back?"
