Chapter 231 Those who bully Gu Lingshuang will not have a good ending
Gu Lingshuang pushed him.
"You forgot that I'm pregnant. We can't go back to the way we were before."
Xiao Ziming paused, an expression of suppressed pain flashing across his face.
Yes, he almost forgot.
Although having a child is a very happy thing, it is painful that I can no longer be intimate with Shuangshuang after having a child.
Xiao Ziming let out a long sigh and rolled off Gu Lingshuang's body.
He couldn't hurt Shuangshuang and the baby in her belly because of his own needs.
Gu Lingshuang stroked his handsome face: "Thank you."
Xiao Ziming looked at her gently: "Why do you want to thank me?"
Gu Lingshuang's face was filled with happiness: "Because you respect me, understand me, and love me, I feel very happy since I married you."
Xiao Ziming's eyes were filled with emotion when she praised him. He kissed her cheek and said, "I am your husband. As a husband, I must treat my wife well. This is my responsibility and obligation, so Shuangshuang, you don't have to thank me."
"Besides, you've been very good to me. You've made me feel loved and let me know that marriage is so good."
The two of them lay on the bed, holding hands and chatting heart to heart.
They talked about everything, as if they could never talk enough.
The night is getting darker.
As Gu Lingshuang was talking, she began to feel sleepy. As she listened to Xiao Ziming talking in her ear, her consciousness slowly sank.
Xiao Ziming noticed that she fell asleep and smiled. He tucked the quilt in for her, then put his arms around her slender waist and closed his eyes.
He was so happy at that moment that he closed his eyes and fell asleep quickly.
The next day came in a blink of an eye.
Xiao Ziming got up early to attend the morning court. When he got up, Gu Lingshuang was still sleeping. He did not wake her up and his movements were very gentle.
In the morning.
When the ministers heard that the Queen was pregnant, they all congratulated Xiao Ziming.
Xiao Ziming's face was filled with an expression of joy that could not be concealed.
However, the next second, a minister suggested that he expand his harem.
"The Queen is pregnant now and can no longer serve Your Majesty. For the sake of Your Majesty's health, I hope Your Majesty will expand the harem. More women in the harem can help the Queen share the responsibility of taking care of Your Majesty."
"Yes, Your Majesty. Not only can they help take care of Your Majesty, but they can also help the Queen take care of the harem."
"Now that our Great Xia Kingdom is peaceful and prosperous, Your Majesty should consider your offspring."
The smile on Xiao Ziming's face disappeared without a trace in an instant. His eyes became extremely cold as he stared at the ministers below.
"I am sharing with you the joy of the Queen having a child, not for you to stuff women into my harem."
"The other women came here not to help the queen manage the harem, but to compete for her favor. If the baby in the queen's belly is killed, can you bear the responsibility?"
Xiao Ziming's face was so cold that the ministers below were frightened and dared not utter a word anymore.
They knew that what His Majesty the Emperor said was absolutely correct.
Where there are many women, there are many gossips.
Throughout the dynasties, there was no one in the harem who did not compete for favor.
If the woman they put into the harem harms the Empress, the Emperor will definitely blame them, and they cannot bear such responsibility.
Thinking of this, no one mentioned the matter of asking Xiao Ziming to expand his harem again.
Xiao Ziming sneered in his heart. This group of ministers would not calm down unless they were put under some pressure.
Now you don't dare to mention this matter again, right?
After this storm, Xiao Ziming talked about the flood control ideas raised by Gu Lingshuang, and mentioned the idea of encouraging businessmen to donate money and materials.
After hearing this, the ministers exclaimed in surprise.
Isn’t the Queen so amazing?
What's wrong with her head? How can she have so many weird ideas?
No wonder His Majesty the Emperor is so devoted to the Empress. If they had such a wife, they would also be devoted to her.
The ministers already admired Gu Lingshuang, and now after hearing the solution she came up with, they were even more impressed.
The arrangements for flood control were made in this way.
Next, we will wait for the results of the governance and the movements of the four countries in Southern Xinjiang, Northern Border, Eastern Tombs and Western Regions.
The envoys from the three countries of the Northern Territory, Eastern Tombs and Western Regions have returned to their countries and told the court everything about the troubles their princesses had caused in the Great Xia Kingdom.
The envoy knelt in the Golden Palace and cried bitterly.
"Your Majesty, I, an old minister, have tried my best to persuade the emperor of Daxia Kingdom to stop attacking our country. Daxia Kingdom is willing to negotiate peace with our country, but the condition is that our country must become a vassal state of Daxia."
"What?" The ministers around them frowned upon hearing this. "Let us become a vassal state and pay tribute to the Great Xia Kingdom every year? The Great Xia Kingdom is really dreaming. No, absolutely not."
"But what can we do? The Great Xia Kingdom is now very powerful. If we don't agree, the Great Xia Kingdom can easily destroy us."
"Yes, yes, being a vassal state is better than being destroyed, right?"
The emperor at the top also thought of this. His expression changed, and finally he sighed: "As long as we can keep the country, it is okay to be a vassal state."
When the envoy heard this, he sighed and said, "I thought so too, but...but..."
"But what? Did the Great Xia Kingdom go back on its word?"
The envoy looked disappointed.
"The Great Xia Kingdom did regret it, but there was a reason for it."
When they heard that Daxia had gone back on its word, all the ministers present showed expressions of disapproval.
"What's the reason? No matter what the reason is, you can't go back on your word, can you?"
The envoy said with a sad face: "It was our princess who almost killed the queen of Daxia."
He told the emperor what happened in the palace, and in order to avoid the emperor's anger, he put all the blame on the princess.
After hearing this, the emperor and his ministers all widened their eyes in disbelief.
What did they just hear?
When the princess arrived in the Great Xia Kingdom, she thought she could be married into the country and become a favorite concubine, so she began to ignore the Queen of Great Xia. Not only did she forcibly snatch the Queen's food, she also wanted to beat her?
She was used to being a princess and didn't take the Queen of Daxia Kingdom seriously at all.
Everyone knows that the emperor of Daxia is deeply in love with his queen.
What on earth was the princess thinking? She actually went and provoked the queen.
The emperor and his ministers were almost furious to death, because an entire country was ruined because of such a stupid thing as the princess.
They hated the princess to their core.
The emperor was furious and ordered his men to bring the princess to the throne room.
The princess was thrown into the throne room like a dead dog.
The emperor looked at his daughter without any love for her anymore. He took the horsewhip and whipped the princess hard again and again.
"what--"
The princess uttered a miserable cry.
She rolled on the ground begging for mercy.
"Father, please spare my life. I know I was wrong. I really know I was wrong."
The more she said this, the angrier the emperor became.
Did she know she was wrong?
Could she still expect him to give her a chance? But who would give his country a chance?
