When the summer passed, Zhong Li didn't lose weight, but Pei Xing did. Fortunately, she could finally sleep peacefully at night. When she got her wish and hugged the girl in her arms, Pei Xing couldn't help but sighed. Comfortable.

Her skin is like satin, and every time she touches her, she can't put it down. Holding her is a challenge for Pei Xing. He has been holding it back for a long time. The bulging lower abdomen, but he couldn't bear to be bullied, he was holding it all by himself, and he had a single nosebleed twice.

The first time saw it, Zhong Li was so frightened that she hurriedly asked someone to call for the imperial doctor, but he just stopped him. Vigorous, nothing wrong, Zhong Li only vaguely guessed something after thinking of his expression.

She also proposed to sleep in separate beds, but Pei Xing did not agree.

When he had a nosebleed again, Zhong Li couldn't hold his breath. She wiped him with a handkerchief, and finally stopped the bleeding. When she went to bed, Zhong Li couldn't fall asleep.

He still likes to hug her, Zhong Li's back is close to his chest, she lay down for a while, and seeing that he was not asleep, she couldn't help but whisper: "Third uncle, why don't we try it again?"

The imperial doctor only told him not to have intercourse for the first three months, and did not say that he could not have sex in the future. When Pei Xing heard the words, his heart moved. This was the first time she had made an invitation. He felt it almost instantly. rose up.

He kissed her earlobe and wanted to try it, but he was even more afraid that half of the test would hurt her and the child. Pei Xing thought about it, and finally held her hand.

Zhong Li's ears were so hot that when she woke up the next morning, her palms felt hot. She waved her head, and then completely forgot about it.

Pei Xing was busy again, and in August, the autumn season will come again. When the Great Jin Dynasty was first established, the township examination was held every three years and lasted for a hundred years. It was not until Emperor Huizong's turn to rule. Due to lack of diligence, the imperial examination was only held once every seven or eight years. In the event of a war, Fang will delay.

This year, due to Zhong Li's pregnancy, Pei Xing was extra generous and increased the number of admissions for the rural examination. The total number of places in each province over the years has not exceeded 100 people. In fact, there are many talented people all over the country who often fail because of their abnormal performance. Exams, one delay is three years, Pei Xing added a full one hundred places this time.

For the students, this is naturally a great good thing. He only said that the precedent was set because the empress was pregnant. In fact, Pei Xing had this idea for a long time. When his great-grandfather was in power, he Three imperial examinations were held, which led to the fact that officials in the DPRK were basically from aristocratic families.

In the generation of the late emperor, he brought many noble girls into the palace and became cronyism. Before he knew it, a situation in which the aristocratic family monopolized the government was formed. It was too difficult for the poor students to come forward. Kaienke, because of the war last year, not only the treasury was depleted, but also there was no time to make arrangements. He simply took advantage of Zhong Li to increase his quota this year.

When the students learned about this, they were naturally ecstatic, and they all sincerely thanked the Empress for being pregnant. The only person with a complicated mood was Li Mingran. Since Zhong Li and Pei Xing got married, he has not thought about her anymore, but he still hears news from her from time to time. Every time he heard it, he was a little disappointed.

Also feeling melancholy, there is Li Mingqian. At this moment, she is sitting under the eaves, staring at the glazed tiles in the distance.

She has been married for more than seven months, but her stomach has not moved. Although the old lady, husband and others did not urge, Li Mingqian knew that they were all looking forward to the arrival of their children. After all, An Yi is the only seedling in the house, and he is not young, but he has no son under his knees.

When she went back to the mansion to visit her mother a few days ago, the Zheng family actually asked her to take the initiative to bring up the matter of the concubine's room. Li Mingqian didn't want to cause trouble for herself, so she rejected her mother's proposal. Although she spoke eloquently in the mansion, her mother didn't have to worry about her.

After returning home, he was worried. She sat under the porch from noon to dusk. The clouds on the horizon dyed the entire sky red. I don't know when the clouds receded, and a dark cloud suddenly appeared on the horizon that was gradually darkening.

The raindrops fell sharply, bringing a bit of desolation.

She was still staring blankly at the sky, her maid sighed, "Master, hurry back to the house, the weather is going to change if you say it changes."

Li Mingqian was pulled back to the house by the maids, stood in front of the window, and stared at the rain curtain for a while. This autumn rain came quickly and violently. The rain fell on the ground with a "crashing". When the lightning struck, it revealed a pale white expanse. The sycamore leaves in the courtyard bowed their heads pitifully. Falling to the ground.

Li Mingqian only felt that at this moment, she was like a lonely leaf in this world, helpless and sad.

The rain didn't last long. When it got completely dark, the rain stopped suddenly. Zhong Li liked rainy days very much. She leaned on the rattan chair by the window and listened to the sound of the rain while making clothes for the baby. The candlestick tilted down and hit her soft eyebrows, adding a maternal radiance to her whole being.

Some time ago, she had been making lingerie. After the lining was finished, it was the outerwear. Because it was not clear whether it was a little boy or a little girl in her belly, she planned to make two sets of each. Her female red is excellent, and the movements of threading needles are like flowing clouds and flowing water.

When the rain stopped, she still had some regrets.

Qiuyue persuaded with a smile: "Niangniang, get up and do some activities, it's almost half an hour."

Zhong Li nodded and put down the little robe in her hand. Her stomach is now more than four months old. After putting on the clothes, it is not obvious. She stretched her muscles and bones before leaning on the couch.

Pei Xing has a lot of things to do recently. Not only does he have to worry about the autumn season, but he also has to deal with the floods caused by the heavy rain in the south. In the past two days, he has come back later and later. At the time of Hai, he sent people over to let him She rested early, don't wait for him.

Zhong Li was not used to it, she thought about it for a while, and then ordered: "Qiuyue, go to the imperial kitchen and let the imperial kitchen cook some soft and glutinous eight-treasure porridge, and bring it to the emperor in a while, and say that I made it for you. , let Eunuch Huang stare at him and finish drinking."
