Zhu Houzhao looked helpless, stretched out her hand and tried to persuade,

"Little sister, you...you are about to give birth to a child, why are you going to the frontier? Are you still planning to give birth to your child on the road?"

Empress Xia gritted her teeth and glared at him,

"It's not all you. If you hadn't caused me to be like this, I would have been with you now!"

Zhu Houzhao said with a sneering smile

"Isn't this already like this now? Or... you... give birth to your child first... I'll take you there later?"

Queen Xia was full of hatred and stomped her feet repeatedly.

"It's all your fault, it's all your fault!"

As he was talking, his face suddenly changed, and he covered his stomach and said to Zhu Houzhao,

"I...my stomach hurts..."

Zhu Houzhao was shocked,

"Is this...what's wrong? I'm going to give birth?"

Xia Hou nodded with bitter face,

"It seems... this child also knows that he is in trouble and will come out soon!"

"Imperial Doctor! Imperial Doctor!"

This house urgently summoned the imperial physician to the inner hall. Because he had given birth to one of them earlier, it was not a big deal this time. Since the afternoon, when it was dark, the second prince of our Daqing Dynasty was born!

Zhu Houzhao hugged her crying second son, and looked at him happily while pointing out to her eldest son.

"Yao'er, look... this is your brother!"

Zhu Zaiyao looked at his freshly baked brother and stretched out his finger to poke his little face. The emperor was so scared that he hurriedly stopped.

"Good Yao'er, my brother is still young and can't poke him like this!"

Zhu Zaiyao wrinkled his nose dissatisfiedly when he heard this.

"It's better than Season!"

Haisheng's little face was white and fat, chubby, and he poked a mark with his fingers. He wouldn't cry, and he wouldn't be so annoying like his younger brother!

His Highness the Crown Prince disliked his brothers very much, but he looked at Haisheng with a different look. His Majesty the Emperor looked at his second son and smiled.

"This child is born like me!"

His facial features are very pretty, and I think he will be a handsome man in the future!

Here she hugged her second son and smiled at Xia Hou,

"Thank you for your hard work in the queen!"

Empress Xia gave birth to a child and was drinking soup. When she heard this, she dismissed the palace servants around her and whispered to him.

"This time I gave birth to my child and stayed in the confinement period, so I could go there, right?"

Zhu Houzhao nodded with a smile,

"Of course it's OK!"

Empress Xia was overjoyed when she heard this. As expected, she was feeding the child safely. She was waiting for a month to leave Beijing and go to the edge. However, ten days later, the emperor suddenly left without saying goodbye, leaving only a handwritten letter to Empress Xia.

"The frontier is bitter and cold, the road is rugged, and the knees are young. The two elders in the palace also ask the queen to put the overall situation first and guard the harem for me. I respect this!"

When Xia Hou was so angry that she beat the bed, Qingyan next to her hurriedly advised,

"Empress, you can't get angry during your confinement period now. Otherwise, it will be difficult to cure after leaving the root of the disease!"

Hou Xia had no choice but to stay in the palace to rest and raise her youngest son. After one month, she looked for an opportunity to run outside the palace. However, she didn't expect that this time, Zhu Houzhao ordered the Jinyiwei to keep a group of people in the palace and watch over the people in the palace. Hou Xia disguised herself as a little palace maid, but she was stopped by Mou Bin himself before leaving the palace.

"Empress, I have your Majesty's imperial edict, and I shall not let the Empress leave the palace for a hundred steps. If there is any violation, I can do it cheaply!"

As the saying goes, if you act cheaply, you will have the power to kill and kill. Of course, Mou Bin dared not dare to kill and kill the Empress, but it is natural to send someone to "escort" back to the palace. In this way, Empress Xia changed her ways to break through several times, but she returned in a desperate situation. Only then did she realize that she could escape from the palace before, it was not that she was smart and clever, but it was clearly that His Majesty was deliberately letting go.

Now that His Majesty has issued a strict order, the Jinyiwei can not even fly out of the palace!

Hou Xia was relieved and said secretly,

"I'm not allowed to go out, I won't stop me from summoning people in!"

However, Han Qi was summoned into the palace and when he saw him, he complained.

"Your Majesty was untrustworthy. He clearly agreed to me and wanted to take me to the border. As a result, he left a letter and ran away. He told the court officials that he had just given birth to a young son and only knew his parents' kindness. Therefore, he missed the late emperor very much, so he ran to the imperial tomb to guard the tomb for three months, and wanted to eat vegetarian chant scriptures to mourn the late emperor... He used the excuse of filial piety, and the court officials dared to stop him, so he let him out of the palace... but he left us mother and mother!"

Speaking of Empress Xia's aggrieved face, Han Qi lowered her eyes and said nothing. After Empress Xia's complaints were almost gone, she asked,

"Empress... really want to go to the frontier?"

"I...I want to go!"

Seeing that her expression was wrong, Xia Hou was very righteous and immediately withdrew a little bit first, and she was a little weak in her speech. Han Qi frowned and asked,

"Who are you going to give the second prince who has just been full moon to? Or are you taking it on the road? Who will the prince give to the queen mother?"

Empress Xia blurted out when she heard this.

"How could I hand over my son to that hateful old woman!"

After saying that, he was stunned. Han Qi continued to respond.

"That is, the Empress does not want to hand over her son to others. Do she want to take them all the way to suffer?"

"I……"

Xia Hou was glaring at her black and white apricot eyes, and murmured,

"I...didn't I take Yao'er to the sea before me!"

Han Qi said coldly,

"Empress, you have been married into the royal family for some time. You have two sons under your knees. You are not only the wife of His Majesty the Emperor, but also the mother of a country, the lord of the harem, and the example of the concubines. Your Majesty left the capital and went to the frontier. In order to visit privately, he would not alarm the local government along the way. He only brought twenty Jinyi Guards to escort it. This is to rule the frontier and face the Tatars. Has the Empress ever thought about the risks His Majesty would face..."

"This... I naturally thought about it!"

"Empress knows it, have you ever thought, what should you do if His Majesty has any accident?"

Xia Hou was stunned,

"No...no!"

Han Qi still said with a cold face,

"Even if the Empress does not study, she will know the affairs of Emperor Yingzong and the Tumubao Incident. What will the country be when it is? So what will the family be? What will the mother of the Empress? What will happen to His Highness and the Second Prince?"

As he said that, he looked at Xia Hou with condemnation.

"The Empress often says that she doesn't want to marry the royal family. It would be great if she married into an ordinary person's home. Even if she is a family of ordinary people, her husband is far away from home and she does not have the reason that her wife will leave her family and young at home without caring about it. The Empress is not only unable to be the mother of a country, but also the hostess of the family are incompetent!"

Hou Xia was stared at Han Qi's cold gaze and her body shrank back, and her aura was weakened little by little.

"I...I also want to fight for the country and the country to kill the enemy!"

It is OK to see what the Tatar looks like...

"I'll go and take a look and come back!"

Xia Hou replied in a low voice, Han Qi sneered,

"You go and have a look. If you go and see, you will have to let your child who is just over the month of the year run with you. What if you get sick? Do you have the heart to be your biological mother?"

Queen Xia didn't dare to respond anymore, but Han Qi said again,

"You are the mother of a country. You often go out of the palace without caring about it, but there is a little bit of bad reputation that is passed on. You are taking it upon yourself. What do you think of His Royal Highness and the Second Prince? What do you think of Ankangbo's family? Do you want to kill yourself and your sons?"

As he said that, he still didn't relieve himself, he pointed his finger out of the palace,

"When the wife came, she saw the four concubines waiting for the Empress to summon her outside the palace. They were all well-educated and polite, and beautiful. Anyone who became a queen was more generous and dignified and elegant than you. If you really didn't want to be this queen, you abdicate and give up the wise, and go wherever you wanted to hold your two sons!"

This is just a saying. If a woman who married a royal family would not only enjoy wealth and honor, but she would have to live in a cold palace. It is their destiny to not be free for the rest of her life.

The last words made Empress Xia completely lose her momentum. She held her youngest son and sat on the couch with her body in her arms. After a while, she responded.

"Jie Qi'er, you're right... I know I'm wrong!"

Han Qi then raised her skirt and knelt on the spot, touching the tunnel with her head.

"My wife is offending the rules and offends the Empress. She deserves to die. I will ask the Empress to punish her!"

"What are you guilty of?"

Hou Xia hurriedly asked Qingyan, who was beside her to help her.

"Jie Qi, I forgive you for being innocent. Get up and talk!"

Han Qi refused and just lowered her head and said,

"My wife is punished if she is guilty. The Empress cannot give up the public for personal gain. Please punish her!"

Seeing this, Empress Xia put her youngest son aside and came over to help Han Qi get up.

"Jie Qi'er, every word that comes from the heart, every word is full of good words. This is a wake-up call and wake me up! I was too willful before, and I relied on His Majesty's favor to do whatever I want. If it weren't for Sister Qi'er's advice today, I would have caused a big disaster in the future and harmed others and myself, it would be too late to regret it!"
