Chapter 139 Ending (Part )
Su Ci was both amused and confused: "I just think your face is attractive, no wonder so many people like you."
She was different. Her weight increased dramatically after she became pregnant and she became so fat that she couldn't even look at herself.
Coupled with Zhao Shizhu's status as an emperor, this kind of bed-climbing will only become more frequent in the future.
Zhao Shizhu was relieved to hear her say this. He thought she didn't believe him.
"It's not a big deal. Just kick him out of the palace and don't have any contact with him in the future." Su Ci didn't do anything too drastic.
Anyway, he is an unimportant relative, a distant one at that. Just stay away from him if he has bad intentions.
Zhao Shizhu was not a good person. Not only did he expel Su Ci from the palace, he also ordered Su Ci's distant relative to move to the southern wilderness and never enter the capital without an imperial edict.
Once this matter was settled, Su Ci just waited for the birth of her baby.
When Su Ci started, Zhao Shizhu insisted on staying by her side, no matter what the taboos were. Everyone couldn't drive him away, so they had to let Zhao Shizhu go.
It was Su Ci’s first time giving birth, and it was also Zhao Shizhu’s first time watching someone give birth, so both husband and wife were nervous.
But when Su Ci saw that Zhao Shizhu was even more nervous than she was, she suddenly relaxed and comforted him, "Don't be nervous, it's just giving birth..."
The pain from the contractions made it impossible for her to finish a sentence.
Zhao Shizhu's face turned pale and he was so nervous that he didn't know what to do.
Su Ci held his hand tightly and said in a hoarse voice: "I'm fine, the baby will be born soon, please wait..."
Zhao Shizhu said hurriedly: "I'm not nervous, please stop talking and save your energy for having the baby."
The familiar pain came again, and Su Ci didn't have the strength to say another word.
It took two full hours before the baby was born.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty, congratulations, Your Majesty, it's a little prince!" Everyone knelt on the ground and congratulated Zhao Shizhu.
Zhao Shizhu was sweating profusely and felt as if he had given birth to a child.
He glanced at the child quickly, and seeing the child's wrinkled red face, he immediately lost interest in looking at it a second time: "Take it away, let Ah Ci have a good rest."
"No, let me see the child." Su Ci was exhausted, but still wanted to see what the child looked like.
"It's better not to look at it." Zhao Shizhu's tone was filled with undisguised disgust.
Su Ci suddenly became excited when he heard this: "Why can't you let me see my son?! Are you jealous that he is so handsome..."
When Su Ci saw his son's face clearly, his voice gradually faded away.
Seeing the expressions of the Emperor and Empress, Mother Tao explained: "Children look like this when they are just out of the womb. They will be more beautiful after a month. With the stunning looks of your Majesty and the Empress, the little prince will definitely be a handsome man."
Her words successfully comforted Su Ci, and she nodded in agreement: "In fact, you can tell that she is beautiful just by looking at her facial features. She has just been born, so she can understand it like a monkey."
The next moment, the little monkey-like baby burst into tears, and everyone in the room burst into laughter...
After giving birth to the child, Su Ci began to control her diet and was also busy taking care of the baby.
As Mother Tao said, the baby's facial features had fully developed when he was one month old, and he was born very delicate and beautiful, so beautiful that she couldn't take her eyes off him. She couldn't help but kiss him countless times throughout the day.
Zhao Shizhu was jealous and didn't understand what was so good about this child. Since their child was born, he had completely fallen out of favor.
To be precise, he had never been spoiled before. After Su Ci had a child, he, her husband, became a decoration.
In addition, many ministers tried their best to put people around him. Knowing that he did not take concubines, they made a fuss about the palace maids.
The palace maids were all young and beautiful. He was extremely annoyed as they kept sending away new ones.
Su Ci, on the other hand, put all his attention on the little guy and ignored him for two whole months, which made him feel that he had no status in this family.
He was sulking for a long time and didn't go to Kunning Palace for three consecutive days. Not only did Su Ci not notice, even Qi Xi and Lu Yi didn't realize that he was in a unilateral cold war.
Instead, Si Xue discovered that Zhao Shizhu had not come to Kunning Palace for several days, and reminded Su Ci: "Your Majesty has not appeared for several days, could it be that he has a new love?"
Su Ci was teasing the cute baby: "Is there?"
At this time, Qixi replied: "Your Majesty is busy on weekdays, so it is normal for him not to come for a few days. Besides, His Majesty would not be interested in other women except you, so please rest assured."
Su Ci also felt that it was impossible for Zhao Shizhu to do anything improper. It had been a year since she became pregnant and gave birth, and he had always been single. Wasn't it a bit pitiful?
Su Ci finally remembered Zhao Shizhu, and she decided to deliver the soup to Zhao Shizhu personally so that he would not feel that she did not care about him.
Zhao Shizhu was feeling disheartened and was hesitating whether to go to Kunning Palace to look for Su Ci. At this moment, Qi Xi ran over to him happily and said, "The Queen is worried about your Majesty's health and has specially sent you a tonic soup!"
Zhao Shizhu's eyes lit up: "Where is she?"
Qi Xi carefully served the soup, not forgetting to reply: "Originally, the queen wanted to bring the soup over personally, but the little prince suddenly started crying, and the queen couldn't leave for the moment, so she ordered the maid to bring the soup over."
The smile on Zhao Shizhu's face faded: "Really?"
So, the younger one is more important than the older one. When the guy cried, he left Su Ci behind. I wonder if his crying can make Su Ci pity him.
Qi Xi realized belatedly that Zhao Shizhu was in a bad mood, and asked cautiously, "But is there a problem with government affairs?"
Zhao Shizhu replied calmly: "No."
He just wanted to stuff that kid back into Su Ci's stomach, it was too annoying. There wasn't much affection between him and Su Ci, and now there was a burden, leaving him and Su Ci no chance to be alone.
"Why is Your Majesty unhappy?" Qi Xi was puzzled.
Zhao Shizhu didn't want to see Qixi's face: "Go away, don't be annoying in front of me."
Qi Xi was puzzled, but still left as he was told.
Because he was worried about Zhao Shizhu, he returned to Kunning Palace and told Su Ci that the new emperor was unhappy.
Mother Tao knew what was going on: "The Queen has been busy taking care of the little prince recently and has neglected His Majesty. His Majesty is probably jealous."
Su Ci found it incredible: "How could he, a grown man, be jealous of a child? This is also his child."
Mother Tao laughed: "Your Majesty, you don't understand. Ever since the little prince was born, your Majesty's attention has been on the little prince. You didn't even notice that His Majesty had come for three days. How do you think His Majesty feels?"
Su Ci felt that this was the truth.
The child happened to be asleep, so she decided to go and keep Zhao Shizhu company to prevent the Emperor from sulking by himself.
This time she deliberately did not allow anyone to pass the message. When she went in, she saw Zhao Shizhu eating alone, and he did not look very happy.
She signaled the other palace people to leave, and she took over the job of serving him food, helping him pick up some of his favorite dishes...
After a while Su Ci discovered that Zhao Shizhu was not interested in the meal at all. He ate whatever she asked him to eat. He looked so absent-minded that he didn't even know he was poisoned.
She stretched out her hand and waved it in front of him. Only then did Zhao Shizhu finally come to his senses and looked up at her.
Seeing that it was Su Ci, Zhao Shizhu was surprised and delighted: "Why are you here?"
Are you willing to give up your child?
Su Ci sat down opposite him: "Of course I came to see you. I'm afraid you'll have wild thoughts, so I came to accompany you. The child has just been born, and I'm focusing most of my energy on him, so don't be jealous of our son." Zhao Shizhu sneered: "When have I ever been jealous?"
"Okay, okay, you're not jealous, I'm just overthinking it." Su Ci readily agreed.
Zhao Shizhu looked at her for a while before saying, "Even if it's a little bit unpleasant, it's only a little. You can't just take care of me. How long have you been ignoring me?"
Su Ci tried hard to suppress her smile. She stared at Zhao Shizhu for a long time before saying, "I seem to have found the same feeling I had when I fell in love with you at first sight."
Zhao Shizhu's heart beat faster. Did this mean that she was starting to like him again?
He was so happy that he couldn't express it in words. The smile on his face was so overwhelming that Su Ci didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
The days passed peacefully, and in the blink of an eye, the child was already one year old.
In the past year, Su Ci rarely thought about the barrage. After such a long time, she was sure of one thing: the barrage would not appear again.
Perhaps in another world, the drama that the audience watched ended after Su Hua took the Xiaoyao Soup.
Maybe it was because she was thinking of Xiaoyao Soup, but she had a dream that night.
In her dream, she saw a novel. She opened the novel and saw many familiar names.
Although she was clearly in a dream, she felt that this book was the original work she had always wanted to see.
She read the entire novel in her dream.
The novel ends with Qi Xi walking up to her and saying that he was bringing her the Xiaoyao Soup on Zhao Shizhu's orders, and asking her to take it.
In the original book, she took the Xiaoyao Soup, drank it all, and then lost consciousness.
The ending ends here.
But a few years after the novel was finished, the author wrote another chapter...
Su Ci woke up before dawn and stared at Zhao Shizhu's sleeping face in a daze.
Zhao Shizhu had to attend the morning court, so he woke up at the appointed time. As a result, he saw Su Ci looking straight at him, with eyes brighter than he had ever seen before.
He was about to ask what happened when Su Ci suddenly came close to him and kissed him on the face.
"Husband, you are so beautiful!" Su Ci said with a smile, "I like you more today than yesterday!"
Zhao Shizhu didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Your little mouth looks like it's covered with honey."
Su Ci saw that Zhao Shizhu's face looked so good today. She waved her hand and said, "Your Majesty, please go to court quickly. Otherwise, if you miss the morning court, some ministers will say that it was my fault as a beauty who brought disaster to the country!"
Zhao Shizhu laughed and quickly finished washing up, but Su Ci volunteered to help him change into court clothes.
"My man is so handsome!" The more Su Ci looked at Zhao Shizhu, the more she liked him, especially his figure and face. He was so handsome no matter how she looked at him that she would never get tired of looking at him for the rest of her life.
Zhao Shizhu really wanted to ask Su Ci what happened, but he was afraid of missing the morning court, so he decided to go to court first and then ask her the reason.
Su Ci was particularly attentive that day. He personally escorted Zhao Shichu out of Kunning Palace before returning to his bedroom to catch up on some sleep.
But she lay in bed and couldn't fall asleep.
Everything in the dream seemed so real. She had read all the contents of the original novel, including the extra chapter added by the author later.
In the extra story, five years have passed since Zhao Shizhu ascended the throne.
Su Hua disappeared, and Bai Shuang also disappeared. Although the beauties selected by Empress Dowager Gao for Zhao Shizhu entered the palace, they were just decorations.
During these five years, Zhao Shizhu would leave the palace every time the peach blossoms were in full bloom and go to a place called Taohua Town to peek at a woman.
He would stay in Taohua Town for half a month each time, and then return to Beijing quietly, never disturbing the women in Taohua Town.
This went on for five years, ten years, or even longer.
At the end of the extra chapter, Qi Xi asked Zhao Shizhu, since he liked the noble lady from Taohua Town so much, why did he let her leave the palace.
The only response to Qixi was Zhao Shizhu's sigh...
The extra chapter never mentioned who the noble person in Taohua Town was, but from the many details described in the extra chapter, she was certain that the noble person Qi Xi was talking about was her.
That is to say, in the original novel, the so-called Xiaoyao Soup that Zhao Shizhu gave her was not the real Xiaoyao Soup, but a pretense of Xiaoyao Soup to let her leave the palace and give her freedom.
So in the original novel, she also saw through Zhao Shizhu's initial approach to her, but it was not sincere? She didn't want to be the queen, she wanted to leave the palace to be free, and Zhao Shizhu chose to fulfill her wish...
While she was daydreaming, Zhao Shizhu left the court and headed straight for Kunning Palace.
Su Ci rushed forward to greet him. Just as she was about to throw herself into Zhao Shizhu's arms, barrages of comments suddenly popped up one after another:
[In my lifetime series, I didn’t expect that the live broadcast drama actually has after-sales service. They made a special episode for me. I am going to cry to death!!]
[Ahhh, I saw the Durian couple again. Su Ci looks at Zhao Shizhu with such love]
[I have read the extra chapter of the original novel. Su Hua is not an official match at all. The only official match for Zhao Shizhu is Su Ci. Woohoo, I was deceived. The extra chapter made me cry so much.]
[9494, What Zhao Shizhu gave Su Ci to drink was not Xiaoyao Soup at all. The author is so mean. He only added a chapter several years later. Many readers who didn't read the chapter were misled by the ending of the main story! ]
……
Zhao Shizhu opened his arms and saw Su Ci stopped halfway through, so he said unhappily, "Aren't you going to welcome me?"
Su Ci happily threw herself into Zhao Shizhu's arms, holding his face and kissing him hard several times.
Zhao Shizhu felt that Su Ci was acting strangely today. Just when he wanted to ask what was going on, a cute little meatball came over unsteadily: "Dad... Dad..."
Zhao Shizhu had no choice but to let go of Su Ci and walked forward to pick up the little guy.
Although he was often jealous of his son, it was undeniable that the child was indeed cute.
The little guy obviously liked his parents very much. After spitting on Zhao Shizhu's face, he spitted on Su Ci's face again.
Su Ci couldn't stop smiling, and suddenly she wanted to give birth to a few more children for Zhao Shizhu.
[I cried, their child is so big and still looks so good. ]
[I really want to kiss and pinch it, it looks like a glutinous rice dumpling, how can it be so beautiful? ]
[Don’t you see how good-looking their parents are? It’s normal for their children to be good-looking, right? ]
[Is there only one episode of the extra series? I’m so reluctant~]
[This episode just makes up for the regrets in the original novel, not too much, not too little, everything is just right! ]
……
Su Ci and Zhao Shizhu were playing with their children in the palace.
The sun is shining outside the window and the breeze is gentle.
