Ji Xiaolan: Kill Qianlong at the beginning

Chapter 415: Aunt Tao said she had given birth to too many children and couldn't remember them

Emperor Gai Zhang said loudly, "My dear ministers, it is common for Mo Li to act crazy and stupid with me. Today he is not trying to save me, he is trying to save you."

The ministers were silent.

Emperor Gai Zhang continued, "You stopped me from marrying Xiumei. I was so angry that I wanted to take it all out on you today. None of you could escape this beating. But after Qiqi Li's unreasonable behavior, my anger has completely subsided, and you all have escaped this beating."

Mo Li said, "Your Majesty, that Minister took the twenty strokes of the cane on behalf of the others. Isn't he innocent?"

Emperor Gai Zhang nodded slightly and said, "Pass on my decree to reward a hundred taels of gold to comfort the loyal minister."

Mo Li immediately said, "Your Majesty is wise."

All the ministers followed in unison and praised the emperor as wise.

The Stamp Emperor smiled slightly.

Xiumei was watering the flowers in the yard when Aunt Tao's voice came from behind her:

"Oh, this is terrible, this is terrible."

Xiumei supported her waist with her left hand and slowly stood up. She asked, "Third Aunt, what happened? Is there a fire in the kitchen?"

Aunt Tao came over and supported her. "How could you do such a thing? Be careful not to get a miscarriage."

Xiumei said, "Oh, it's not that serious. The doctor told me to move around more recently."

Aunt Tao helped her walk and said, "Does the doctor understand or do I? I've given birth to four or five children, how could I not understand?"

Xiumei smiled and said, "Oh, really? You've already given birth to four or five."

Aunt Tao helped her sit on the stone bench and sat down herself, saying, "This child is very important. Do you know that?"

Xiumei said, "Third Aunt, why are you so nervous?"

Aunt Tao said solemnly, "How can I not be nervous? This baby of yours is a dragon seed."

Xiumei disagreed and said, "What dragon seed? A child is just a child." She touched her belly.

Aunt Tao said seriously, "Every child is different. Wealth and glory, gold, silver and treasures all depend on this child."

Xiumei lowered her head and said, "We don't even know if it's a boy or a girl yet."

Aunt Tao said, "It's a boy. I knew it was a boy the moment I saw the belly."

"Oh?" Xiumei became interested and looked down at her belly. "You can tell by looking at your belly. How do you know?"

Aunt Tao said, "Look at you, your belly is pointed, it must be a boy."

Xiumei was a little hesitant to believe her and said, "Really? A pointed belly means it's a boy?"

"Yes," said Aunt Tao, with a look of astonishment, "the crab with the round belly button is female, and the one with the pointed belly button is male."

Xiumei disagreed and said, "Third Aunt, we are human beings, not crabs."

Aunt Tao smiled and said, "Almost. I've given birth to seven or eight children, all boys, so you can't tell."

Xiumei looked bewildered and said, "Oh, that's not right. I just heard you say that you had four or five children, but now it's seven or eight, and they're all boys."

Aunt Tao smiled again and said, "I've had so many children that I can't remember clearly. Xiumei, godmother originally wanted to rely on Junhao in this life, but who knew that this nerd would so easily ruin the top scholar."

Xiumei smiled and said, "Junhao doesn't covet the position of a royal consort. This is the true nature of a scholar. It's admirable."

Aunt Tao didn't think she was right and said, "I admire you for nothing."
