Quick Transmigration: The Pregnant Little Fairy is Pampered by the Heirless Boss

Chapter 119 The Substitute Bride 35

Ji Xiaosong is very efficient; if she says she will give Chu Yuze a younger brother or sister, she will do it.

Four at a time, first a younger brother, then a younger sister in the next pregnancy.

From now on, the older brothers will be able to protect their younger sisters, and no one will dare to bully them.

Five months later, Ji Xiaosong's pregnancy was stable.

Chu Yuze would come to see Ji Xiaosong every day, mainly to see his younger siblings.

"Mother, are they a younger brother or a younger sister?"

"younger brother."

Are they very smart?

"Not necessarily, it depends on luck."

Ji Xiaosong was right. Having a child is entirely a matter of luck, like gambling, with absolutely no skill involved.

Although most negative possibilities can be avoided by selecting children through their parents, their future appearances can vary even within the same environment.

"Yuze, if your younger brothers aren't smart and can't help you much, what would you do?"

"So what if he's not smart? As long as he's alive, he can stay by my side and be a good family member. If he's really not smart, but he was still born into the royal family, it means he's a person with great blessings. He's here to enjoy happiness in this life."

Upon hearing this, Ji Xiaosong's belly suddenly moved a few times, and Chu Yuze's small hand was on her belly, so he also felt the fetal movement.

"Mother, did my brothers hear what I said?"

Chu Yuze's eyes lit up with excitement, and his face flushed red with emotion.

"Maybe so, Yuze. Perhaps your younger brothers are responding to you," Ji Xiaosong said with a gentle smile.

Chu Yuze became even more excited, pressed his ear against Ji Xiaosong's stomach, and shouted, "Brothers, I'm the older brother, and I'll protect you from now on!"

After saying that, he raised his head again and looked at Ji Xiaosong with an expectant expression: "Mother, may I talk to them again?"

Ji Xiaosong nodded, and Chu Yuze began to talk non-stop again: "Little brothers, when you come out, I'll take you to play some fun games and give you delicious food. If anyone bullies you, I'll beat them up!"

Looking at Chu Yuze like this, Ji Xiaosong felt gratified and warm.

The greater the power a person possesses, the fewer emotional ties they have.

Chu Yuze is still a child who has many expectations for his family, so he is willing to give and accept them.

No matter what happens in the future, as a mother, I always hope that my siblings and I can still get along harmoniously.

After reviewing the memorials, Chu Qingyun went to Ji Xiaosong's palace as usual. Apart from handling state affairs and teaching Chu Yuze, he spent most of his time with Ji Xiaosong.

He had no concubines and no plans to hold a selection of concubines.

It wasn't that the court officials didn't want to bring it up, but rather that they dared not.

The Chu family has never held a talent show for generations, so there's no reason for an accident to happen in this generation.

If they dare to bring it up, they'll probably end up like Imperial Censor Liu.

After all, the emperor sitting on the throne is not a soft-hearted person.

He was extremely skilled at putting burlap sacks over his back.

As Chu Qingyun stepped into the palace, he immediately saw Chu Yuze lying on Ji Xiaosong's stomach, chattering away.

He smiled slightly, his eyes full of doting affection, and said softly, "Yu Ze, don't tire out your mother."

Upon hearing the sound, Chu Yuze immediately looked up and excitedly ran towards Chu Qingyun: "Father, my brothers moved! They must have heard me!"

Chu Qingyun patted Chu Yuze's head, and couldn't help but recall when Ji Xiaosong was pregnant with Chu Yuze.

At that time, the imperial physician advised him to talk to the fetus in his womb every day, saying that this would make the child closer to him after birth.

From then on, he made it a habit to come to Ji Xiaosong's side every day, whispering to her belly, sharing interesting stories from the court, or telling strange tales from the common people.

As expected, after Chu Yuze was born, he was exceptionally affectionate towards his father.

Seeing Chu Yuze's anticipation for his unborn brothers fills Chu Qingyun with joy.

He sat down next to Ji Xiaosong, his gaze gently falling on her slightly protruding belly. He gently placed his hand on it, feeling the rhythm of new life.

Ji Xiaosong looked at him with a smile: "Yuze talked a lot with his younger brothers today, and the little guy was very excited."

Chu Yuze said eagerly from the side, "Father, when my younger brothers are born, I want to teach them to ride horses and shoot arrows, and take them to see the lantern festival outside the palace!"

Chu Qingyun smiled and nodded: "Okay, when the younger brothers are a bit older, our whole family will go together."

Just then, a palace attendant came to report: "Your Majesty, there is a letter from the Emperor Emeritus and the Empress Dowager."

Chu Qingyun took a look and realized that they would be returning to the palace during the Spring Festival to reunite with them.

In recent years, the two of them have often traveled to mountains, rivers, lakes and seas, returning to the palace only once or twice a year.

Chu Qingyun's gaze fell on Ji Xiaosong's high, protruding belly, her eyes filled with worry. She gently advised, "Song'er, let your mother take care of the New Year's Eve banquet this year. You see, your body is getting heavier and heavier, and I'm really worried about you and the baby getting tired."

Ji Xiaosong shook her head slightly, a gentle smile on her face, and patiently explained, "Qingyun, don't worry too much. I always delegate palace affairs to the female officials. As the Empress, I only need to control the key points and won't have to put in much effort. Mother Empress has only recently returned to the palace and should be enjoying her leisure time. If we make her worry about the banquet, she might think we juniors are insensible and feel uncomfortable."

She really didn't intend to give up such a thing. It was just a pregnancy, and she was essentially handing over all her power. She might not be able to take it back later.

Furthermore, since the Empress Dowager is often not in the palace, she may not be able to understand the current management system.

For Ji Xiaosong, getting pregnant was a very easy thing.

She uses her spiritual power to nurture her four children every day, and they are all very obedient.

The Spring Festival will be approaching in a month.

The Empress Dowager and the Emperor Emeritus returned to the palace, and the first thing they did was to visit Chu Yuze and Ji Xiaosong.

Chu Yuze had just finished practicing martial arts and changed his clothes before arriving at Ji Xiaosong's palace.

As soon as they entered the palace gates, they rushed in like cannonballs.

"Mother, Mother, have Grandmother and Grandfather arrived yet?"

Ji Xiaosong was sitting by the window, flipping through a medical book. Hearing Chu Yuze's urgent voice, she looked up, a gentle smile on her face. Just as she was about to reply, she heard the eunuch's shrill announcement from outside: "The Emperor Emeritus and Empress Dowager have arrived—"

Chu Yuze's eyes lit up, and he immediately turned around and rushed out to greet them.

The Emperor Emeritus and Empress Dowager walked slowly in, surrounded by a group of palace maids and eunuchs.

Chu Yuze stepped forward and respectfully performed a grand salute: "Grandson greets His Majesty and His Majesty."

The Empress Dowager, her face full of affection, quickly stepped forward to help Chu Yuze up: "My dear grandson, get up quickly, let your imperial grandmother take a good look at you."

As she spoke, she took Chu Yuze's hand, looked him up and down, her eyes full of tenderness.

At this moment, Ji Xiaosong, supported by a palace maid, walked over and curtsied slightly: "Your daughter-in-law greets the Emperor Emeritus and Empress Dowager."

The Empress Dowager released Chu Yuze's hand, quickly walked to Ji Xiaosong's side, supported her with both hands, and said reproachfully, "You child, you are so heavy, don't be so polite, sit down quickly."

The group entered the house and took their seats according to their status as guests and hosts.

The Emperor Emeritus looked at Chu Yuze and said with a smile, "I heard that your martial arts have improved a lot recently. Do you have any insights to share with your grandfather?"

Upon hearing this, Chu Yuze immediately became interested and began to talk at length about his insights and experiences in martial arts.

The Empress Dowager held Ji Xiaosong's hand and inquired about her health and the baby's movements, occasionally reminding her to rest and eat on time.

In conclusion, the Emperor Emeritus smiled and said, "Now that the royal family is thriving, we don't plan to leave. We'd like to spend more time with you younger generation, watching Qingyun make his mark in the court and contribute to the country. We can also offer you some guidance so that the court can become more enlightened under your rule."

"I would rather wait for my other grandchildren to be born so I can enjoy the joys of family life, personally teach my great-grandchildren to read and write, ride horses and shoot arrows, and pass on the fine traditions and ancestral teachings of the royal family."

"Furthermore, there are many old friends and familiar sights in this palace. After wandering for so long, I still miss this palace. Only when I return do I feel at ease. From now on, I will stay in this palace to watch over you and see the royal family prosper for generations to come."

Ji Xiaosong paused. What did the Emperor Emeritus mean by this?

Planning to decentralize power?
