Chapter 247 Ancient World 64: Offspring

But before they had gone far, Duan Huairen rewarded them with a lot of treasures.

It turned out that the young master of the Cao family who was recommended last time was shining brightly in the capital. As a successful businessman, he quickly gained a foothold in the capital and became an imperial merchant.

In order to develop customer base, he created a lot of things, which were comparable to the time-traveling girl Su Yun.

However, most of the things created by this young master of the Cao family were good things that benefited the country and the people. Although the increase in the number of people engaged in business would reduce the labor force, the silver and taxes collected were real, which made the emperor very happy.

Therefore, Zuo Zhizhi and Gao Xingyun, the people who recommended the proposal, also received a lot of rewards.

The two smiled at each other, not taking it to heart, and continued their journey!

It was not until three years later that the two returned to the capital.

This time they came back not because someone urged them to, nor because they were tired of playing, but mainly because Zuo Zhizhi was pregnant and it was naturally impossible for her to give birth outside, so they had to return to the capital.

The two have been married for many years, and although their parents have been urging them to have children, they do not want to have children as soon as possible.

After all, having a child means ties. Even if there are other people to take care of the child, the two of them can no longer be as free as before.

It was not until Zuo Zhizhi became unexpectedly pregnant that she prepared to go back.

When I returned to the capital, the first thing I faced was the careful scrutiny and complaints from both sides' parents.

The two of them walked for such a long time without saying a word. Although various messages came in from time to time, what was the use of these messages? Without seeing the real person, I was always worried!

Especially when they saw Zuo Zhizhi sitting in the carriage while pregnant, everyone couldn't help but start complaining.

"Why are you still taking the bus at this time when you know you're pregnant?"

"It's been so tiring sleeping in the open air all this way. I must rest well at home!"

In a nutshell, you should stay at home honestly for the time being and never be as careless as before.

This time they came back they did not live in the three-story house as before. Although someone cleaned it regularly, they would definitely need to add a lot of things after the pregnancy.

It would be inappropriate for the family to live so crowded together, so the two of them lived in a villa in the suburbs.

There are hot springs here. Although it is not suitable for Zuo Zhizhi when she is pregnant, the environment here is quiet and peaceful, and there is geothermal heat. It is very warm even in winter, so it is quite suitable!

In addition, other people who come to visit them can also rest here, so the two of them plan to stay here temporarily.

Of course, before deciding to rest, Zuo Zhizhi went to the palace to see her sister.

Zuo Qing'an looked no different from when she saw him that year. Although many people in the harem had been favored and had children in the past two years, it had not affected her status at all.

Of course, some children also suffered miscarriages. Some people even said openly and secretly that it was the sister who was secretly manipulating it. However, Zuo Qing'an invited many imperial doctors, and after repeated confirmation, everyone had a tacit explanation.

That is because Duan Huairen's health was too poor, which made it difficult for the child to be born safely.

Naturally, no one dared to bring up this reason openly, but everyone had already guessed it in their hearts.

Although it is not known how Zuo Qing'an managed to get pregnant three times safely and gave birth to three healthy children, other people are more likely to have miscarriages after becoming pregnant.

After a detailed investigation, it has been confirmed that no one in the harem attacked her, she simply failed to protect the child!

Zuo Zhizhi curled her lips quietly. What else could it be? Of course it was because the sperm quality was too poor!

His health was already poor, and if he hadn't taken action himself, he would have died long ago.

Without excessive care, it is good enough if the body can maintain basic life. Wanting more children is simply a pipe dream!

Unless you take all the medication at once, it is really difficult to have a healthy child!

However, judging from Zuo Qing'an's plan, he didn't want to do that.

Instead, he takes medicine year after year, so although he looks healthy on the surface, he actually gets sick from time to time.

Everyone in the court was naturally terrified, fearing that the emperor would accidentally die, and then only his youngest son would take the throne!

As for those concubines who had not yet given birth, they tried their best to win favor, but only a few of them successfully gave birth to children.

There were even a few concubines who held high positions and had prominent family backgrounds. They were almost pointing at Zuo Qing'an and cursing him. After they became pregnant, they chose to go to the temporary palace or other courtyards to recuperate.

However, most of the children were not saved, and Zuo Qingan's reputation was restored.

Although the concubines in the harem still wanted to try harder, most of them had already laid down.

Duan Huairen was especially fond of him. Although he wanted to have more children, after such a long time, he had realized that his health was too poor, so the children could not be born safely.

Therefore, even if some ministers wanted to hold another draft, he would refuse.

There are quite a few women in the harem, but there are still very few children. That means it is not their destiny, so they can only give up.

So when Zuo Zhizhi came over again, she saw a very peaceful harem.

Although there were people vying for favor, no one dared to make trouble in front of the queen.

Even if you get pregnant, you can only be very careful to protect the fetus. As for whether you can give birth to the baby, it all depends on fate.

Those who were born were naturally taken care of carefully, but the medical level in ancient times was not very good, so premature death was very normal.

Zuo Zhizhi was very relieved about this.

Anyway, no matter what happens to others, there will be no problem for my own children. Each of them has taken the therapeutic crystals saved from the last century in advance. Although it cannot be said that it can 100% guarantee that others are immune to all diseases, their physical fitness is definitely much better than that of normal people!

Everyone has finally come to terms with it. Only the queen's child is healthy. Although it seems that she is cruel and ruthless on the surface, everyone knows that it has nothing to do with her!

After visiting her sister, Zuo Zhizhi did not stay outside for too long and went to the hot spring resort to recuperate.

For the next period of time, she stopped going out and instead took good care of her pregnancy.

Although your mood is the most important thing after pregnancy, it is normal to go to different places.

However, in ancient times, traveling meant physical and mental exhaustion, so since you are pregnant, you naturally need to get enough rest.

As for chatting with other people, although it seems fun, there are always some people who have bad intentions.

Zuo Zhizhi didn't have the heart to practice Tai Chi with them, so it was best to just stay away from them!

It wasn't until a few months later that Zuo Zhizhi gave birth to a child safely, and she finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Having this one child is enough, and I will never have any more.

Although in ancient times people always had to have more children to ensure that the family line would continue.

But Zuo Zhizhi didn’t have this idea!
