I am a prince in Zhutian Films

Chapter 66 Si Lili is pregnant

The spring light gradually fades, the summer flowers wither, and in a blink of an eye, a month has passed.

The war between Qing and Northern Qi has come to an end.

The national strength of Qing was much stronger than that of Northern Qi. In addition, Emperor Qing had been planning for a long time. As soon as the war between the two countries started, Qing was unstoppable and defeated Northern Qi. It soon occupied one state of Northern Qi.

Although the Northern Qi Dynasty was established not long ago, it inherited the foundation of the former powerful Wei State. It was not difficult to defeat the Northern Qi Dynasty, but it was impossible to completely destroy the Northern Qi Dynasty in one fell swoop. They could only boil the frog in warm water and nibble away at it step by step.

Therefore, after the Kingdom of Qing occupied a state, it temporarily stopped its attack and turned to confront Northern Qi.

Northern Qi did not want to continue fighting, and when it saw that Qing had stopped its offensive, it immediately thought of seeking peace and sent an envoy to prepare for negotiations with Qing. At the same time, Dongyi City also sent an envoy to Kyoto to apologize.

Although the war had stopped, there were still many pro-war factions in the court who were dissatisfied and submitted memorials.

They believed that the Qing Kingdom could still continue to fight, and many people also wanted to continue fighting. It would be best if they could destroy Northern Qi in one fell swoop and unify the world.

Fortunately, Emperor Qing had a very clear mind. It was true that Qing was more powerful than Northern Qi, but it was wishful thinking to want to destroy Northern Qi in one battle.

Putting aside the military strength, Northern Qi also had the grandmaster Ku He.

As long as Ku He was alive, Northern Qi could not be destroyed. This was why Emperor Qing later used himself as bait and arranged the Battle of Dadong Mountain.

Only by destroying the Grandmaster can Qing Kingdom destroy Northern Qi and Dongyi City. Otherwise, Ku He and Si Gu Jian will support each other and Qing Kingdom will not be able to destroy Northern Qi and Dongyi City.

The fact that Qing Kingdom stopped the conquest disappointed the pro-war faction in the court, but after all, they had won a great victory, and the city of Kyoto was still very festive and jubilant. After all, as citizens of Qing Kingdom, they naturally felt proud to see that Qing Kingdom was so powerful.

As for Lin Gong, who was used as an excuse to start the war, few people still remember him except his relatives. Even Lai Mingcheng no longer mentioned that Lin Ruofu was a bad parent or that Lin Gong was a traitor.

After testing Fan Xian, Lin Ruofu had already regarded Fan Xian as the last resort of the Lin family. He used his own connections and relationships to fully support Fan Xian to take the position, and joined forces with the prince to get Fan Xian the status of deputy reception envoy.

Of course, none of this had anything to do with Li Chengzong. What he cared about was when the Northern Qi delegation would arrive in Kyoto.

It has to be said that Northern Qi kept a very strict watch on his brother-in-law.

Originally, he planned to take advantage of the war between the two countries and the fact that Northern Qi was unable to take care of him, and have someone secretly bring Li Xiaoqian back to Qing. However, he did not expect that his brother-in-law was actually being held in the palace. It was not so easy to take someone away from the palace of a country.

After learning that the person he sent out had been exposed, Li Chengzong originally wanted to go to Northern Qi in person, but he received a letter saying that Northern Qi was willing to send Li Xiaoqian back to Qing. Along with the news, two letters from Northern Qi Emperor Zhan Doudou and Northern Qi Saint Haitang Duoduo were also brought back to the palace.

Basically, he asked Si Lili how she was doing in Qing Kingdom, and said that because of their past friendship, he let Li Xiaoqian return to Qing Kingdom without any conspiracy, but simply to disgust Emperor Qing.

In response to this, Li Chengzong could only say that he really couldn't understand women's minds.

In this way, Li Xiaoqian will come to Kyoto with the delegation.

Of course, among the Northern Qi delegation that came this time, in addition to Li Xiaoqian who made Li Chengzong pay attention, the literary master Zhuang Mohan was also someone he cared about, and he was ready to meet this literary master.

So, when the Northern Qi delegation arrived in Kyoto and was arranged to stay by the Honglu Temple, Li Chengzong and Si Lili came to the inn as soon as possible.

However, there were many people who arrived earlier than them.

Zhuang Mohan was so famous that he could be said to be the idol of countless scholars. Scholars who wanted to see him almost blocked half of the street.

There were too many people, so Li Chengzong did not force to see Zhuang Mohan. He sat in the carriage and waited for the Blood-Clothed Guards to bring his brother-in-law.

After waiting for about a cup of tea, Li Xiaoqian was brought in by the Blood-Clothed Guards.

He was in his twenties, dressed like an ordinary scholar, and looked very handsome. Perhaps because of the long journey, he looked a little tired, and there was a faint sour smell on his body. Li Xiaoqian was very excited to see his sister whom he had not seen for a long time.

However, just as he excitedly called "Sister" and was about to hug Si Lili, Si Lili suddenly started to dry heave.

With a sound of "Ouch", Li Xiaoqian's outstretched hand froze.

"Do I smell bad?" Li Xiaoqian asked blankly.

Just as Li Chengzong was about to speak, Si Lili shook her head and smiled, "It has nothing to do with you. I just feel a little uncomfortable these days and feel sick all the time. It's nothing. I've met your brother-in-law."

Li Xiaoqian actually had no opinion about Li Chengzong. He had already learned about him from the letters Si Lili sent him.

Judging from his sister's words, it's not an exaggeration to say that they are a perfect match, but that doesn't stop him from feeling complicated.

As the only man in their family now, Li Xiaoqian inevitably has the mentality of an old father and naturally has some opinions about Li Chengzong.

In addition, he was raised by Si Lili, so he was even more dissatisfied with Li Chengzong, the man who stole his sister away.

But since his elder sister had spoken, Li Xiaoqian could only bow reluctantly and said, "Hello, brother-in-law!"

Li Chengzong stood there in a daze, without any reaction.

Seeing this, Si Lili poked him, and this time Li Chengzong reacted.

However, he didn't say anything to Li Xiaoqian, but excitedly hugged Si Lili and said excitedly: "I just thought about it, you didn't have your period this month, do you think you are pregnant?"

Si Lili was stunned. The first thing she thought of was not whether she was pregnant or not, but that Li Chengzong even remembered when her period came.

For a moment, an unprecedented feeling of happiness filled her entire body and mind. She felt as if her body had gone limp, and she felt that no woman in the world was happier than her.

After lingering in the embrace of her beloved man for a while, she realized that many people were looking at her. Then, she blushed and whispered, "Let me go first."

Li Chengzong let her go and asked excitedly, "Are you pregnant?"

"I don't know either. Let's go back and check."

"Yeah, get in the car and go back home quickly so that Xingzhi can take a look."

As Li Chengzong spoke, he picked up Si Lili by the waist and put her into the carriage.

Li Xiaoqian stood there, completely stunned.

It can be seen that this brother-in-law is very good to his sister, and he is very happy in his heart.

But, weren’t they here to pick him up?

Just leave him here like this?!

Just as Li Xiaoqian was stunned, Li Chengzong, who had returned to the carriage, remembered that his brother-in-law seemed to be still outside, so he lifted the curtain and shouted, "Your sister is pregnant and can't stand the smell of you. Hurry up and ride back to the mansion to wash up."

Li Xiaoqian: “…”
