Please ask me to be the emperor

"You all sit down, please forgive me for being pregnant and not being able to get up to greet her!" Li Xiang said, half lying on the bed of the imperial concubine, leaning on the pillow.

In ancient times, beds had distinct slumps. The bed was used for sleeping at night, while the slumped bed was mostly used for naps during the day.

The imperial concubine's couch is a narrow and short couch for women, which is quite similar to the recliner of later generations.

The back side is an openwork fence, with a cylindrical pillow at one end and a reclining backrest at the other end.

This imperial concubine's portrait was originally from Prince Fu's palace. It was made entirely of mahogany and looked elegant and noble. Later, after the rebels occupied Luoyang, Zhang took it and gave it to Li Xiang for use.

Now she is lying on it, leaning on the backrest cushioned with pillows, receiving the guests Zeng, Huang, and Zhu from afar.

Now that Li Xiang is three months pregnant, it stands to reason that she no longer needs to be so cautious.

It was only because she could control him and show off her status that she deliberately treated him like this.

It’s women who understand women best. What little thoughts does Li Xiang have? How come the four girls don’t know?

But people under the eaves have to bow their heads. If based on their previous status, any one of the four of them would be as easy to kill an ant by squeezing her to death.

But now they still have to act based on other people's looks, and they have to keep a low profile.

But then again, although this woman's behavior is disgusting, even if the four of them are women and look at it from a critical point of view, they have to marvel at this woman's amazing beauty.

Her shiny black hair, white and shiny skin all over her body, a pointed "little fox face" and a pair of beautiful black and shiny eyes, coupled with her lazy demeanor, make her look like a A vixen who has been practicing for thousands of years is still alive.

Even Zeng, Huang and Zhu were all famous beauties, so they couldn't help but feel ashamed.

Human beauty and beauty are different. The beauty of Zeng, Huang and Xiaozhu belongs to the kind of dignified and generous beauty; while Li Xiang is the kind of stunning and charming beauty.

But it can be seen from her "vixen" title that the thicker one is more impressive and more popular with shallow men.

The four women said a few polite words (cursing secretly), and quickly presented them with several pieces of silk, various candied fruits and other gifts that Zhang Shun had prepared for them early to show their closeness.

At the same time, Li Xiang's girl Liu Rushi didn't dare to breathe. She served them tea and water honestly, like a little daughter-in-law serving her parents-in-law.

It's time for Liu Rushi to see the world. As the concubine of the former chief minister of the cabinet, she can also be called a figure on the stage.

Just compared with these two princesses, a princess, and a county lord, her status is as humble as dust.

How did Zhang Shunshun know that his mother-in-laws were performing a female palace fighting drama in their own backyard?

He was sitting quietly in the red lady's room, carefully hugging a wrinkled baby.

This baby was born to the Red Lady. It turns out that since she became pregnant in May last year, she was just full term in February this year.

It happened that Zhang Shun was away with the army, so the Red Lady, with the help of Li Sanniang and Wu Ma, gave birth to a son half a month ago, and now she is confinement in the house.

Zhang Shun felt deeply guilty because his mother-in-law was giving birth at home and he was living happily outside.

So after he returned to Luoyang City, he immediately rushed to the matchmaker's room without asking anything else, and came to "obey her orders" honestly.

Doesn't the red lady have any resentment in her heart?

What's more, women often suffer from postpartum depression after giving birth. Even if not, there are often suspicions and highs and lows of emotions.

Sure enough, the red lady changed from her previous graceful and generous attitude. At one moment she was suspicious that Zhang Shun was going to abandon the two of them, at another moment she was making a fuss about eating "Wan Tuoer".

What the hell is Wan Tuoer? Zhang Shun had no choice but to hold the baby carefully and call Jian'er over to ask.

Although Jian'er was not from Mizhi, he knew this, so he immediately patted his chest and promised: Master, please wait for a moment, it will be fine in a moment!

As soon as the arrow left, Zhang Shun was left alone in the matchmaker's room, carefully coaxing the two "babies", one big and one small.

Zhang Shun spoke softly and apologized for a long time, but the red lady suddenly asked: "I heard that you brought back a few more women from outside?"

When they arrived, Zhang Shun's heart skipped a beat and he quickly responded: "They are just a few poor people who have no support, so they come here to make a living."

Haha, the red lady sneered and said: "There are so many miserable people in the world, do the heads of households still have to live in the house?"

Well, it’s a blessing, not a curse, it’s a curse that cannot be avoided. Zhang Shun lowered his head and said nothing. He looked like a dead pig who is not afraid of being scalded by boiling water. Whatever you do!

The red lady muttered a few words, then she thought of something and said angrily: "Thank you for your sharp eyesight, you didn't call them over to make me angry during the confinement period!"

"If you make me so angry, your son will become a child without a mother!"

Aren't you talking nonsense? Zhang Shun looked dejected and didn't dare to say a word.

"Okay, okay, look at your dead look. I guess Mr. Zhang and Mr. Lu are waiting in the yard in a hurry. Give me the child, and go to the Western Expedition when it's time. Don't let this damn beggar go to waste. If you don’t leave, it’s as if I’m a jealous woman!”

"Then can you take care of it by yourself?" Zhang Shun hesitated.

"How can I survive when you don't come back? Give it to me, it's time to feed the baby!" The red lady started to undress while chasing people away.

In fact, Zhang Shun has been busy these days, and he has offended his mother-in-law, making him hungry and full.

This time I happened to have not eaten yet, so I was a little hungry. He licked his lips, intending to take advantage of the opportunity to have a meal, but after looking at the red lady's face, he didn't dare to open his mouth.

Zhang Shun walked out of the door and saw Zhang Shenyan, Lu Weiqi and Song Xiance walking around in the yard like ants on a hot pot.

He straightened his clothes and looked like a gentleman and asked, "What's wrong with you three gentlemen? Is there something urgent?"

"This is not a matter of urgency. My lord has just returned from the southern and eastern expeditions. Now the soldiers are tired, rewards and punishments are unknown, and the palace is crowded with a lot of matters waiting for you to make a decision. How can we take this lightly?" The three people hurriedly said Stepping forward and giving a salute, Zhang Shenyan relied on his old age and took the lead in admonishing him.

It turns out that that day, after Zhang Shun read the letters from me, Cao Wenzhao, Xiao Qinhu, and Governor Zhang, he decided to go to Tongguan to inspect the front line again to decide whether to fight or leave.

Zhang Shenyan, Lu Weiqi and Song Xiance couldn't sit still after hearing this and couldn't help but come over to remonstrate.

No wonder the three of them reacted so violently. Among the four former rebel decision-makers, Zhao Yutou is now old and ignores political affairs; Lady Hong is unable to take care of matters due to childbirth.

Among the remaining people, Lu Weiqi was new, and although Zhang Shenyan was reliable, his power was weakening.

Although Song Xiance was closest to Zhang Shun, his ability to handle daily affairs was poor.

What's more, among these three people, there is no one who knows the military. Without Zhang Shun, it is really impossible to support the entire center of the rebel army.

Zhang Shun also knows that now that he is gone, this is a lame team.

But whether the door to Shaanxi can be opened is related to the life and death of the rebel army, and he has to go to the front line in person.

Seeing the three people repeatedly admonishing him, Zhang Shun couldn't help but smile bitterly and said: "Three gentlemen, don't do this. I have no choice but to do this."

"If there is any urgent military affairs later, just order the soldiers to be sent directly to my camp. I also plan to go back quickly and try to return to Luo within half a month!"
