Chapter 165 Where did the child come from? He stole the pants.
The concubines in the harem are of all kinds. Some use him as a stand-in, some come to the palace to seek refuge, and some just act out their affection.
But no matter whether they loved the emperor or not, those women did not have the courage to come and confuse the royal bloodline.
If a person who was not of royal blood appeared, the emperor would probably have to purge his harem again.
The emperor, who was very confident in himself, resisted the urge to touch his head to see if there was a hat on.
He looked at An Changzai expressionlessly, without a trace of joy for the child on his face.
Ask why.
Because ever since Little Eleven was born, he asked Murong Taiyi to prescribe a sterilizing soup for him.
This sterilizing soup has no side effects on women and even has the effect of beautifying and nourishing the skin.
Except for the Queen, anyone who came to the emperor's bedchamber would be supervised by Eunuch Cheng himself while drinking the bowl of medicine.
The emperor already has enough offspring and does not plan to have more.
Therefore, there has been no good news in the harem in the past six months.
Now that An Changzai showed up and revealed her pregnancy in this way, it was hard for the emperor not to speculate on conspiracy theories.
"Your concubine, your concubine is pregnant."
An Changzai was moved when he received the news.
She placed her palm on her belly, her face showing a skilled maternal glow.
She looked at the emperor expectantly: "Your Majesty, I am pregnant with your child."
The reason why An Chang went to so much trouble was that the emperor treated his sons equally.
After the eleventh prince was born, his biological mother was imprisoned in the palace and was not allowed to go out, but the eleventh prince was well taken care of.
The same is true for the tenth prince.
Especially considering the treatment the Ninth Princess received before, if she could also give birth to a little princess, perhaps she could also gain status as a mother because of her daughter.
She acted shy and waited for the emperor's response.
But she didn't wait.
When she secretly observed the emperor's expression, all she saw was his judgmental gaze.
She was slightly confused, but her expression remained calm.
The infertility soup prepared by the emperor was disguised as a tonic. Except for a few concubines who guessed it, many of them did not know the effect of the soup.
An Changzai is the latter.
The scene froze for a moment.
It was so quiet that even Ji Qionghua felt awkward.
She couldn't help but move her little hands to look through the emperor's gossip.
[Hey, father, you don't have to worry, this child is yours. ]
This sentence made the emperor look much better.
But the doubts in his heart were not resolved.
Murong Taiyi couldn't have failed, and he could trust Eunuch Cheng, so...how did this child come about?
【Where did this child come from? 】
【I stole the pants.】
[The prince's pants were also stolen. Should we say they are worthy of being father and son? 】
At this moment, the prince in the East Palace felt a chill down his spine for no reason.
Ji Qionghua fiddled with the wooden boat, her head lowered, her little shoulders shaking.
The emperor could hardly be comforted by the laughter that was only for his own amusement.
[But I stole the prince's pants to relieve my longing for him. Father, you are extraordinary...]
【It was to steal the seeds.】
【Men, they always have some problems in the morning. 】
【This is normal. 】
[As long as you can collect the seeds, it is possible to get pregnant without any exercise. 】
From a scientific point of view, the probability of this happening is quite high.
Things like nocturnal emissions are not secrets that cannot be told.
But as an emperor, if such a thing happened, the clothes he wore on that day would definitely be cleaned up.
When the emperor thought about someone using his pants... no, his underwear to do this, he had the urge to tell the little guy to shut up.
[An Changzai got the underpants from the eunuch next to her father, and she tried it out, and it worked.]
[This also proves from the side that you, Father, are of good quality. ]
Ji Qionghua was very happy.
In her eyes, matters between men and women are nothing.
But a situation like An Changzai's is very rare.
Ji Qionghua, who had figured out the whole thing, looked at the emperor with eyes full of admiration.
But the emperor would rather not have such praise.
"Since you are pregnant, you should move less in the future."
"When the child is born, I will reward you handsomely."
No matter how angry he was, the child was innocent. The emperor looked at An Changzai indifferently, said a lot of rewards, and then had An Changzai sent away.
When leaving, An Changzai looked back every few steps.
Noticing the emperor's absent-minded attitude, she didn't know where she had gone wrong.
The emperor waved his hand until the other party completely disappeared from his sight.
A group of secret guards spread out and surrounded the area tightly.
"Qiong Hua'er, there have been a lot of water bandits in recent days. I am going to send troops to suppress them."
"This is the first battle of the Dachen navy. We cannot afford to lose. I plan to personally take charge of the rear."
The emperor hasn't even informed the cabinet about this matter.
He plans to use this battle as the first step in this year's military reform.
After winning this battle, Dachen's soldiers will officially march against the Nanman, and he needs a good start.
However, the current performance of the navy is a bit disappointing.
He was unsure.
But he was the emperor, and it was not easy for him to share such pessimistic thoughts with his ministers.
He held the little guy in his arms and rubbed his chubby face to relieve stress.
The emperor's movements were still very gentle. After Ji Qionghua resisted several times and failed to be pushed away, she could only lie down and act as a stress-relieving doll.
[The situation is a bit serious. ]
In the past, the technology of Dachen’s shipbuilding industry was not good enough, and the strength requirements for military ships were higher than those for merchant ships.
Plus, naval warfare is different from land warfare.
Since the founding of Dachen, it has fought against the pirates several times, both openly and covertly, but has been defeated every time.
In the end, the Dachen soldiers all seemed to be avoiding the enemy's attack.
However, Dachen's avoidance of war gave the bandits room to develop.
The Dachen Canal runs across the north and south, with the two banks of the canal as the boundary, and water bandits are rampant.
Countless islands were occupied by pirates, who formed their own camps and refused to obey government orders.
Fortunately, on the shore, the Dachen soldiers were strong enough.
Eventually a situation of non-interference is formed.
But for Dachen, compromise means failure, and if he continues to indulge the bandits, they will become a serious threat to Dachen.
Before fighting the outside world, you must first make peace with the inside.
Coupled with the current progress in the shipbuilding industry, the emperor wanted to eliminate these internal factors in one fell swoop.
[But father, have you forgotten the principle of specializing in specific people? ]
Do what suits your identity.
Just like the two brothers Mo Shan and Mo Gong, one in the Ministry of War and the other in the Ministry of Works, both of them had their talents fully displayed.
[Soldiers against soldiers, bandits against bandits. ]
[Use the money that your cousin Liu Yinan and his wife gave you to recruit the bandits.]
My cousin’s wife, Feng An’an, was born in a bandit camp.
If you count, her ancestors for five generations were all gangsters. They were so professional.
Feng Anan only thought about accepting the court's amnesty after she met Liu Yinan. On the way back to Beijing with Liu Yinan, she used her personal charm to expand the number of bandits under her command.
Later, these people, led by Feng Anan, surrendered to the imperial court.
Many of them were good fighters and were assigned to the army.
That tough style is well-known.
As for the bandits, in order to deal with various accidents, they are basically good at water skills, much better than the navy of the Ministry of War who came up with them at the last minute.
