But now he wants to have children of his own and cannot tolerate others doing that kind of thing, especially under his own eyes, ignoring the protection of this emperor everywhere.

  At the time of harming the crown prince and injuring the imperial concubines, it was also a challenge to his bottom line and dignity as an emperor.

  "I know this time will absolutely not be tolerated" Zong Zhengjin nodded

  Meng Wentian wouldn't say much about his methods, after all, it's his family matter, a reminder is enough, saying more would be somewhat tactless. Suddenly he thought of something and brought up another topic, "That precious Rong Yu you hold dear does have some meaning."

  Zong Zhengjin glared at him without leaving any trace, "I think you've been itching for a fight again lately, hasn't Madam Meng been keeping you in check?"

  Meng Wentian rubbed his nose, his mother had been busy arranging for him to get married and spent her days socializing in the Beijing noblewomen's circle, investigating various families' daughters. She didn't have the leisure to pay attention to him anymore. He said with a huff, "What does the Emperor think of her brother?"

  If an ordinary person said that, Zong Zhengjin would definitely get angry and even suspect that he had ulterior motives. But towards Meng Wentian, he trusted him wholeheartedly.

  "What about the girl from the Rainy Pavilion, the one who's as elusive as smoke?" Zong Zhengjin didn't answer him directly but instead asked

  Meng Wen Tian was taken aback for a moment before regaining his composure, curling up the corners of his mouth. "Your Majesty even knows about this? But Your Majesty hasn't been there yet, right? Just the other day, another batch of girls were newly selected. If Your Majesty wants to go, I'll have someone reserve a few for you."

  Zong Zhengjin glared at him without any disguise, "You can play by yourself, but I'm telling you ahead of time that not only does Madam Meng disagree, but I absolutely will not agree to you marrying a woman like that."

  "Hesitated for a moment 'If I were to serve as a concubine, then so be it. But let's get married first and talk about it later.'"

  Zong Zhengjin said seriously, Meng Wentian also withdrew that smiling face and nodded solemnly. "Your Majesty can rest assured, I know what to do. I was just joking around. It's just that those young masters from the aristocratic families were too arrogant, so I had to teach them a lesson."

  At that time, he went to the Qingyu Building to find fun when he was bored. It happened that those girls were being auctioned off. Anyway, they were all playing with him, and he was looking for something cleaner to play with. Anyway, it didn't matter if he spent money or not.

  But unexpectedly, when bidding, there was a young master who couldn't get along with him on the price, and the two of them bid against each other. In the end, that young master used his father to suppress him, and he was naturally furious, so he said some irrelevant words and boasted that he would marry that girl back home.

  How can what is said in this land of wind and moon be considered true?

  "The emperor mentioned that the person who didn't give me face at that time was actually the younger brother of Empress Shu's mother, Shen Gongzi's son, and also a bastard son of Yuan, the Marquis of Jingkang."

  Zong Zhengjin believed that his words were just a reminder, but upon hearing them, he burst out laughing and said, "You've investigated so thoroughly, what do you want to do? I don't know anything."

  Meng Wen Tian also smiled and nodded, which was a subtle way of assuring him that if anyone impeached him, he would guarantee his safety. "The Emperor is indeed very kind to me."

  Zong Zhengjin was slightly stunned upon hearing this and recalled something to answer his previous question, "Su Junwen is a man of integrity and loyalty, but he lacks flexibility and needs more tempering to be of great use."

  Meng Wen Tian almost forgot what he had just mentioned and nodded after regaining his composure. "I think that a person who has been trained in loyalty and righteousness will definitely become a good sword, but what about Yuan Mo Ye? Your Majesty, do you still hold the same view as before?"

  "Although he has real talent and learning, his emphasis on emotions and relationships makes him unsuitable for the officialdom." Zong Zhengjin evaluated objectively, "But it's precisely because of this that I dare to reuse him. The Yuan family still needs his help."

  Meng Wentian nodded "Your Majesty has always been good at judging people" and then changed to a smiling face "Can I, your humble subject, have a meal here?"

  "Can't", Zong Zhengjin bluntly refused, glancing at the sky outside "You'd better go home and take a look at those paintings your mother has prepared for you"

  Besides, he has his own affairs to attend to and his own concerns, how can he be willing to waste time on him?

  Meng heard a wail from his mother, who had been busy during the day going around to inquire about the marriage and character of young ladies from good families for him. At night, she would force him to choose one or two from the portraits she had painstakingly collected.

  It's really boring to the extreme

  Just as I was racking my brains, thinking about where to go after leaving the palace, I heard a voice behind me say: "I will send someone to deliver some things to Madame Meng. If you return home later than the person I send..."

  The words behind hadn't been said yet, but Meng Wentian could easily predict what would happen next - he would definitely be lectured again.

  Life is indeed more bitter than sweet.

  Zong Zhengjin saw him hook up the corner of his mouth silently, and he couldn't help but envy him for having such a mother who was always worried about his life's major events, rather than being like himself, where even his partner had to be used as a tool and constantly calculated and exploited.

  He smiled sarcastically and stood up, walking out "Sushun Xianbai drove away from Guanqu Palace"

  "The slaves and servants pay homage to Your Majesty." The slaves of the Guan Yu Palace saw him coming from afar and hastily knelt down to pay their respects.

  Zong Zhengjin walked in and waved his hand casually "How come you're lying down again"

  Su Jingxiang was lying on the couch and hurriedly got up when she heard the words, taking a glance at the sky outside without leaving any trace. "Your Majesty's concubine pays her respects."

  The courtesy had just been half-performed when he was helped up. Su Jing had already become somewhat accustomed to this sort of thing, as the two of them had done it no less than a hundred times before. "Your Majesty has arrived so early today."

  Otherwise she would have gotten up and exercised long ago, how could she still be lying on the couch?

  Zong Zhengjin didn't need to think before guessing the meaning of her question, and pulled her to sit on the couch. "When I come back, do I still need to notify you?"

  Su Jing rolled her eyes. The palace originally had rules, and when the emperor arrived in person, not only did eunuchs clear the way in advance, but someone should also inform the concubines to greet him. However, this guy said these words completely ignoring this rule.

  Anyway, when the two of them were alone together, they had long since abandoned more than one rule. He certainly wouldn't spoil the mood by reminding him now.

  But she wasn't afraid, she smiled and said "I was thinking that if the Emperor were to come, I should prepare something to welcome him."

  Zong Zhengjin raised an eyebrow "You'd better tell me how you'll prepare, if you can satisfy me, I might just grant your wish next time"

  Su Jing said, "This is typical of picking up a stone and hitting one's own foot. What can she prepare? It was just a casual remark. Since I couldn't think of anything, I leaned against him softly and said, 'Your Majesty, the concubine has prepared food that Your Majesty likes.'"

  The words that followed were intentionally emphasized, as if he was afraid that Zhong Zhengjin wouldn't be able to hear them. Zhong Zhengjin let out a snort of laughter and said, "What kind of food would you not want to eat?"

  Zong Zhengjin almost goes to Guan Yu's palace every day, and occasionally accompanies her to finish her meal. He is already used to her frequently changing tastes.

  For example, before she became pregnant, she had a sweet tooth and liked spicy food. Recently, however, she has not been liking sweets at all, but instead prefers sour things. He once accidentally tasted the water she used to soak sour dates and it was so sour that his teeth hurt, but she drank it expressionlessly, even complaining that it wasn't sour enough.

  The change in taste was accompanied by her unpredictable emotions. Before each meal, the palace maid would ask what dishes she wanted to eat, but less than an hour later, when the dishes were all served on the table, she would no longer be in the mood to eat.

  What he said she didn't want to eat was referring to this

  Su Jingxi was a bit embarrassed but still sat on his lap, learning from him to raise an eyebrow "It's not that I don't want to eat, it's your child who doesn't want to eat"

  In fact, as she thought, it would be best to have a boy, but if it's a girl, she'd also be happy. However, girls in this generation are bound to suffer many tragedies.

  Not only did she not have the freedom of a boy, nor did she have the power of a boy. Moreover, if the first child was a boy and the second child was a girl, having an older brother would be a matter of great happiness. She had a deep understanding of this.

  Since she didn't know whether it was a boy or girl, she also didn't want others to flatter her by saying that the baby in her belly was a boy. She had heard before that children are most sensitive to whether others welcome them and like them, which they can sense.

  Her child, whether boy or girl, she wouldn't want them to suffer any injustice.

  Zong Zhengjin chuckled and rubbed his belly, "He's quite obedient today."

  Su Jing nodded "He's very well-behaved, never been naughty. The imperial physician will know about the fetal movement after a while."

  A good child will certainly love his mother

  Zong Zhengjin hooked the corner of his mouth, placed his hand on her belly and stroked it, but couldn't feel anything, not disappointed. "I heard that there is one less person in your palace."

  "Hmm" Su Jing nodded and lowered her head, placing her small hand on the back of his hand, feeling the movement of her child through his palm.

  Suddenly, Su Jing's palm moved involuntarily, and the two locked eyes in extreme surprise. They waited for a long time to feel it again, but there was no movement.

  Zong Zhengjin had such a novel feeling for the first time that she was pregnant. He not only broke many precedents and had many first times, but at this moment, he was excited and speechless for the first time.

  Bloodline Continues Spiritual Connection

  "Father is here"

  Su Jing was also a bit excited. She is now four months pregnant and the fetal movement is normal, but because of the mother-child connection, there are some special things.

  This is her child, a lively life growing in her belly.
