Martial Arts Crossover: Starting as a member of the Imperial Guard, all the ladies are demons

And why are you all so serious?

Seeing Yan Fei's serious expression, all the women also looked serious, leaving Xiao Jingyi somewhat bewildered.

"My lord, please take a seat."

Xu Weixiong immediately stood up and led Xiao Jingyi to sit in the main seat. During this time, none of the women's eyes left him.

"Cough cough."

After clearing his throat, Xiao Jingyi said, "Alright, why are you all looking so sullen? This is a time to be happy. I will soon be the Emperor of Liang, and you will all have official titles."

... ...

Xiao Jingyi originally thought that if he really said that, the women would either be overjoyed and cry tears of joy or discuss something.

The results of it.

His face remained sullen, still sullen.

This puzzled him, and he asked, "Aren't you happy?"

Upon hearing his question, Consort Yan replied, "My lord, it is precisely because you are the future emperor of Liang that we are so serious."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Jingyi looked at her and touched her forehead: "You don't have a fever. What are you talking about? Why are you all like this today when I am the ruler of Liang?"

Seeing his confusion, Yaoyue then spoke up, "Xiao Lang, you are the future ruler of the Great Liang. You must not only shoulder the responsibility for the entire Great Liang, but also the responsibility for the royal heir."

As soon as Yaoyue finished speaking, Xu Weixiong said, "As the saying goes, a country cannot be without a ruler for a day, and a ruler cannot be without an heir. This will shake the foundation of the Great Liang."

Wanwan added, "So as your wife, we also went for a check-up during this time, by female doctors, of course. After the check-up, they said that there was nothing wrong with our bodies and that we could have children."

At this moment, Zi Nu looked at Xiao Jingyi and blinked her eyes: "Therefore, we deduce that if there is nothing wrong with our bodies, and you are the one who sows the seeds, then it is probably you who has the problem."

Seeing that Zi Nu had said this, Yan Fei finally spoke up: "We were originally thinking of subtly reminding you and then giving you some nourishing medicine, but who knew you were going to ascend the throne."

"That's why we decided to tell our husbands this way, 'Husbands, don't be angry, we didn't mean anything by it.'"

After speaking, Yan Fei held Xiao Jingyi's hands with both of them, her eyes sincere.

"Husband, if there's a problem, we'll fix it. It's not a big deal."

"Yes, the doctor said it will get better after a period of treatment."

"Yes, yes, I think so too."

Hearing the women's words and seeing their expectant yet cautious expressions, fearing he would be angry, Xiao Jingyi finally understood why they had said those things.

The question is about feelings, or about having children.

This left him both amused and exasperated. Despite the women's misunderstanding, he remained calm and immediately said, "Don't worry, I'm fine."

"My lord, the worst thing about treating an illness is to avoid seeking medical help because you don't know how to treat it."

"No, I really have no problem."

“Husband, it works fine, but it needs internal conditioning.”

"No, I am fine."

"Husband, don't worry, we'll be with you."

"..."

Seeing the women's reactions, Xiao Jingyi knew the secret was out and could only sigh, saying bluntly, "You haven't conceived because I used protection."

079 On the eve of the coronation, the Jade Disc of Fortune and the Cauldron of National Protection (2.4 flowers accumulated, please subscribe and subscribe yourself)

!!!

These words, once spoken by Xiao Jingyi, immediately drew the attention of all the women.

That look was chilling, as if it wanted to destroy the world.

Even the usually good-natured Princess Nihuang had a cold expression on her face and said, "Husband, what did you mean by those words just now?"

Xiao Jingyi's heart skipped a beat.

He hadn't expected the women to react so strongly after he said it.

Even though he was about to become emperor, he couldn't stand their gazes.

However, he still explained, "Ahem, it's like this, let me slowly make up... no, let me explain."

The women remained silent, simply crossing their arms and looking at him.

Xiao Jingyi sighed and said, "I think everyone is still young. You all have a lot to do, and I also have a lot to do. Having children can be put on hold for now."

He noticed that the women's faces were getting darker and their eyes were becoming increasingly hostile.

Xiao Jingyi was utterly helpless.

When did having a baby become such a big deal?

But then he thought about it again and realized it was normal; he came from the modern era and was destined to be at odds with certain ideas of this time.

In fact, during this period, even Mao Xiang, Mei Changsu, Prince Jing and others were subtly hinting that he should have an heir.

Because he is the master of Daliang, and the future leader of Daliang.

Having an heir would be beneficial to the stability of the Liang Dynasty.

This has led to having children becoming a top priority.

He then changed the subject, saying, "Of course, now I don't think so anymore. If we want children, then we want children. After all, I'm about to become the ruler of Great Liang."

"If we really have no offspring, what if something bad happens to us in the future?"

"My lord, you mustn't speak nonsense!"

"Pah, pah, pah! Husband, don't say unlucky things."

"With us here, no one will dare to lay a hand on you, let alone get close!"

"..."

"You guys are there?"

Xiao Jingyi looked at Yu Wuxin suspiciously, and the latter immediately realized that he had let something slip and quickly corrected himself: "That's right, even if something happens to you, we will stand in front of you and take the sword with our own bodies."

Phew, I almost let it slip. What a close call!

Hearing Yu Wuxin's words, Xiao Jingyi was half-convinced.

Why did he feel that Yu Wuxin's words were implied?

He knew that Yu Wuxin's cultivation was very high, but the other women, apart from Yaoyue...

As he spoke, he glanced at the group of women.

It seems my group of women are quite something.

Previously, Xiao Jingyi only knew that they knew some kung fu, but if they knew any martial arts techniques, he certainly wouldn't let Yu Wuxin say that.

Therefore, there is only one possibility: some of them also possess extremely high martial arts skills and have gained Yu Wuxin's approval.

"Husband, it's settled then. You can't use protection anymore, or else, or else, or else I won't talk to you anymore."

At this moment, Wanwan leaned on Xiao Jingyi's shoulder and said the most heartless words she could think of.

"Oh dear, how heartless, how cruel!"

Xiao Jingyi was both amused and exasperated upon hearing this. He touched Wanwan's face and replied, "Alright, I won't use protection anymore."

In the end, Xiao Jingyi compromised.

For women, for families, for the political situation.

Cough cough, also for his own sake.

Upon hearing this, the women's eyes lit up, and they cheered excitedly, then surrounded him and chattered excitedly.

Even when he was eating, the women would put food on his plate.

"My lord, this is tiger penis that I specially had collected. Please try it."

"My husband, this is a stew made with Solomon's seal, wolfberry, and oxtail. I cooked it myself."

"And this nourishing cake."

“…”

Looking at the bowl and the table full of nourishing and tonifying foods, Xiao Jingyi's lips twitched slightly. He knew that once he entered the Spider Cave today, he wouldn't be able to leave easily.

That night, Xiao Jingyi unleashed his full power, roaming through the courtyards of the various ladies.

For the next period of time, Xiao Jingyi was busy with matters related to his ascension to the throne during the day and spent his evenings reciting scriptures.

There was no other way. Once they heard that he was healthy, and coupled with their desire to have a child with him, Yaoyue and the others stopped playing cards and instead spent their time entertaining him in various ways.

One act ends, another begins, every night the songs are sung.

Even during this time, what made Xiao Jingyi happy was that someone finally agreed to the team invitation.

Although there were only two of them, Huang Xuemei and Lian Nishang, it was still progress for Xiao Jingyi.

In short, he was happy and fulfilled during this period.

Meanwhile, preparations for his coronation ceremony were in full swing.

From the imperial palace to the common people.

About half a month later, Xiao Jingyi's entire household moved into the palace, and the palace officially welcomed its new master.

As for Emperor Liang, he moved into Ning Shou Palace with his favorite concubines.

Although he was angry that Xiao Jingyi had ruined his reputation, he still cooperated with Xiao Jingyi's ascension to the throne.

The next day, in the Imperial Study.

Prince Jing, Mei Changsu, Shen Zhui, and Cai Quan sat together, each with a happy smile on their face.

Cai Quan also successfully became the Minister of Revenue during this period.

"Your Majesty, this is the procedure from the Ministry of Ceremonies for tomorrow's coronation ceremony. Please take a look."

Mei Changsu is currently serving as the Vice Minister of the Chancellery, working under Liu Cheng, the Chancellor.

It's not that he doesn't deserve a higher position, but he hasn't done anything for the court, so being given a vice minister position is unprecedented.

Xiao Jingyi plans to appoint him as the Grand Secretary in the future.

As for whether Mei Changsu will continue to be a civil official or take up arms on the battlefield after the poison is cleared, that will be discussed later.

Looking at the memorial from the Ministry of Rites, Xiao Jingyi frowned: "Why is it you who delivered it to me? Shouldn't it have been delivered by someone from the Ministry of Rites?"

Upon hearing this, Mei Changsu smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty, you should think about it carefully. In the past ten days or so, every time the Ministry of Rites sent you a memorial, didn't you scold it away, saying that their procedures were tedious and long?"

"Is there?"

Xiao Jingyi responded, took the memorial, flipped through it casually, and tossed it aside: "Alright, that's settled."

For Xiao Jingyi, the enthronement ceremony and such were just formalities.

It's not like the grand sacrificial ceremony to Heaven during the Kaiyun Dynasty.

However, speaking of this, he still felt it was a bit of a pity, that is, the Great Liang Dynasty does not currently have the conditions to open a new dynasty.

First, the luck and fortune are not up to standard.

Secondly, there is no corresponding counterpart.

It's important to understand that opening a lucky day isn't something you can just do casually.

One must offer sacrifices to Heaven and receive blessings from the Great Dao before it is considered complete.

Unfortunately, Daliang is too small a place for the time being.

Everyone raised an eyebrow when they saw him casually toss the Ministry of Rites' memorial aside.

No wonder the Ministry of Rites didn't dare to come; they'd probably get a scolding if they did.

"Alright, I've called you here today because there's something I need to tell you."

As he spoke, Xiao Jingyi took out the memorials he had compiled and placed them in front of them: "Because apart from the Ministry of Works and the Ministry of War, people in the other ministries have been affected by various cases."

Even though some people have filled the vacancies, there are still more than a dozen positions vacant.

"These are the officials recommended by those people. I summoned you here to ask who among you will be responsible for evaluating these officials?"
