Chapter 499: Pregnancy
mid-October.
Cheng Jiao brought the Moon Goddess, Da Siming, and Li Huan, who had hardly had a good time on the journey, back to his own mansion in Xianyang.
Qixiangyuan, a new courtyard specially planned in the mansion, occupies a large area.
Some beauties from other countries brought back by Cheng Jiao, such as Lady Mingzhu, the Queen Mother of Korea, Marquis Bai Luan, Queen Mother Chang of Zhao, Queen Mother Li Huan of Chu, Huaying, Xue Nu, Concubine Ya, Mei Sanniang, and Meng Jiang, were arranged here.
In Qixiang Courtyard, Li Huan touched her lower abdomen, puzzled. She and Cheng Jiao had done it so many times and communicated countless times, but why was there no reaction at all?
Could it be true as the Great God of Destiny said, that her strength is too low and she has bad luck?
Huaying, wearing a red and pink dress, came in front of Li Huan.
"Queen, are you still used to living here?"
Li Huan whispered, "Don't call me Queen Mother. I am just an ordinary concubine of the Master. From now on, we can call each other sisters."
Now, unless she was communicating with Cheng Jiao, at Cheng Jiao's request, she would call herself the Queen Mother. Otherwise, she was very self-aware and kept her position correct.
Huaying said "Oh" and felt a little complacent in her heart. She never thought that one day she would be a sister to the Queen Mother and serve the same man.
Li Huan quietly pulled Huaying to sit under a tree nearby and asked Huaying about the situation in Chengjiao's mansion.
She just arrived and is unfamiliar with the place, so she needs to ask more questions.
Huaying smiled softly as she described Cheng Jiao's women to Li Huan. At the end, she and Li Huan looked at each other in bewilderment. It's not that they didn't know, but there were too many.
Li Huan finally said, "It seems that even if we join forces, the young master is still too strong."
Huaying whispered, "Don't worry, Queen Mother. When Qingnuo comes to the mansion, the three of us will be enough."
Li Huan nodded slightly, agreeing with Huaying's statement.
Qing Nuo's strength has been greatly improved by the young master. Now he is the leader of the farmers' families, which is enough for him to be her ally to enjoy a comfortable life in the mansion.
……
The Qin State is now in a state of extreme turmoil.
Cheng Jiao continued to keep a low profile.
It’s not that he’s worried about being too successful and endangering his master, but he finds it too troublesome.
He has no ambitions.
If he hadn't been worried about the backlash of Canglong Qixiu's luck, he wouldn't have planned to do it himself at all, remembering to develop slowly.
Deep winter, Xianyang Palace.
Ying Zheng made a small red clay stove and enjoyed the snow scenery with Cheng Jiao in the pavilion in the middle of the lake in the palace.
"Now the borders of Zhao, Wei and Chu have gradually become stable. After the spring comes, we will conquer Yan and Qi and realize the will of our predecessor."
After Cheng Jiao heard this, he remembered the letter from his father-in-law Gongsun Yu, "Weiguo, what arrangements does your brother have for us?"
Ying Zheng smiled and said, "Wei is just a small country. I plan to merge it into Yingchuan County. As for the royal family of Wei, just move them to Xianyang."
Cheng Jiao nodded. The former Han State became Yingchuan County of Qin State. Wei State was adjacent to Han State, so it would be a good idea to merge into it.
Ying Zheng seemed to have remembered something. "I plan to build a temporary palace outside Xianyang, close to Mount Afang, and move the old people from the six kingdoms into it to show the power of Qin. What do you think?"
Cheng Jiao took a sip of hot tea and said, "Alright."
According to the manufacturing capabilities of Mohists and Gongshujia, the Afang Palace would be nothing more than a sprinkle of water.
Especially now, the Qin State has not suffered any damage to its foundation when he took action. On the contrary, because of the land and population of Wei, Zhao and Chu, the accumulated wealth has increased by more than ten times.
Ying Zheng glanced at Cheng Jiao, whose temperament was becoming more and more elegant, and his mind moved: "I heard that Dongjun of the Yin-Yang family is in your house and has been pregnant for more than eight months. When are you going to get married?"
Cheng Jiao naturally said, "After the seven kingdoms are unified and my brother's affairs are settled."
Ying Zheng sighed and said, "Are you really going to devote yourself to seeking immortality after this?"
"Yes, the path to immortality is vast and I want to pursue immortality."
Cheng Jiao's direct words made Ying Zheng feel envious.
"Do I still have a chance to cultivate immortality?"
His current strength has already been greatly enhanced by Cheng Jiao. According to the classification in the martial arts world, his cultivation is higher than Gai Nie's.
At this moment, he finally understood why Gai Nie had said that a celestial being cannot be a king, and that if he were a king, his life span would not exceed a hundred years.
That kind of mysterious luck allowed him to avoid all evil, but also kept him confined to the same place.
Cheng Jiao paused and said, "It is not impossible for my brother to cultivate immortality. But he needs to give up the secular throne. Moreover, cultivating immortality is not an easy task. It is possible that after a hundred years, it will all be in vain."
After two or three months of intensive practice, he is now certain that the Yin-Yang Longevity Method is a method of cultivating immortals.
All the women in the mansion were able to rapidly improve their cultivation after practicing dual cultivation with him, all thanks to the complementary effects of the Yin-Yang Longevity Method.
Logically speaking, although he is very talented, it should be extremely difficult for him to practice the immortal method of Yin-Yang Longevity.
But in reality, practicing it is very easy, as if you have practiced it countless times.
He had tried to have Yan Fei, Yue Shen, Jing Niu and Zi Nu practice the Qi Refining part of the Yin Yang Longevity Method, but they all said it was extremely difficult to get started.
Only after practicing dual cultivation with him, and then practicing the Yin-Yang dual cultivation method he taught, can one practice easily.
After hearing what Cheng Jiao said, Ying Zheng sighed slightly and said, "How can I bear to give it up?"
Seeing that hundreds of years of Qin's efforts were about to bear fruit in his hands, he would probably die with regrets if he didn't do it.
Cheng Jiao did not comment. "Brother Wang, there is no need to sigh. In ancient times, the Yellow Emperor was able to become an immortal, and it was obvious that he was not affected by the fortune of the dynasty. Perhaps when I, your humble servant, unravel the secret of the Blue Dragon's Seven Stars, the curse that the gods cannot be kings will naturally be resolved."
Ying Zheng looked at the boiling teapot and said, "In the past two years, I have spent a lot of manpower and resources to investigate the legends and records related to the Blue Dragon and the Seven Stars. They are all mysterious and unusual. According to Bei Mingzi of Taiyi Mountain, the Blue Dragon and the Seven Stars were left by immortals and gods. The secrets contained therein cannot be peeped by ordinary people. Perhaps only you have the ability to unlock its secrets."
Cheng Jiao looked at the snow scene outside the pavilion leisurely.
What exactly the Seven Stars of the Azure Dragon are, we will know next year after we destroy the States of Yan and Qi and open the seven bronze treasure boxes.
He had a premonition that if he wanted to break through the limits of heaven and man and reach the realm of immortals and gods, he would not be able to avoid the Seven Stars of the Blue Dragon.
……
As winter turned to spring, Cheng Jiao stayed at home except for occasionally visiting the palace.
Daily life is extremely comfortable.
Watching the Snow Girl dancing in the snow, listening to Li Wu playing the flute, he taught the girls to start practicing some of the Qi refining and foundation building methods he had deduced.
Occasionally, when she was in the mood, she would work day and night to make a baby in her house.
With his unlimited supply of Huiling Pills, plus the immortal cultivation methods and constant dual cultivation, even the women with the lowest cultivation levels had the strength of first-rate masters, and several of the beauties with strong talents even broke through to the heavenly realm.
It is worth mentioning that the beauties' luck seems to have improved this winter and many of them are pregnant.
Nian Duan and Duan Murong had to check on the women every few days. Later, they were too busy because Nian Duan accidentally became pregnant. Duan Murong had to pull Niang Rong over to work together. Under the guidance of teacher Nian Duan, they checked the bodies of Cheng Jiao's women and the conditions of the fetuses.
As for the women in the mansion, under the influence of Cheng Jiao and the management of the housekeeper Ali, they get along relatively harmoniously. Moreover, they are all extremely outstanding women, so any jealousy they show is limited and not shown openly.
April day.
Cheng Jiao lay on the rattan chair, reading the letter that Tianze sent through Luowang.
A territory has been opened up in the land of Baiyue, and many tribes have joined them. Now they are short of manpower and cannot expand faster. After reading it, Cheng Jiao said to Jingwei, whose belly was bulging day by day: "Let Yanri find a way to deal with Tianze's matter. You don't need to worry too much about Luowang's matter, just rest assured and take care of your baby."
With his current strength, even if he doesn't have a single power, no one can threaten him.
The net has become dispensable and has become a tool for him to obtain some intelligence.
There was a hint of happiness in Jingwei's beautiful eyes, and she nodded gently, "Okay."
She has been pregnant for more than four months, and it is time for her to rest and take care of the baby.
When Jingwei left, Yueshen and Yanfei walked in together with their big bellies.
"Sir, the king has sent an order from the palace, asking you to lead the army to the State of Yan in a few days."
The Moon Goddess said softly.
Ever since she became pregnant, she basically had no time to take care of the trivial matters of the Yin-Yang family. Now she let the Black and White sisters take care of it, and she can focus on taking care of the baby.
Unfortunately, it’s already August and the baby hasn’t come yet.
According to Master Nian Duan, her situation was the same as her senior sister's. When she was pregnant, the blood power in her body awakened, and she would not be pregnant for ten months like an ordinary woman.
Senior sister is now thirteen months pregnant, and her cultivation has improved a lot during this period. It looks like she will take another three to five months to give birth.
The Moon Goddess began to murmur in her heart, thinking it couldn't be such a coincidence that she would have to give birth to a child with her senior sister.
Cheng Jiao nodded slightly and said, "I understand."
Then he ordered Mei Sanniang beside him: "After I leave, you have to keep watch, understand?"
Mei Sanniang said respectfully, "I understand, sir."
She is now very grateful to Cheng Jiao for giving her senior brother Dian Qing a chance to survive and allowing him to live in Qin.
Cheng Jiao thought about it and realized that the only women in the mansion who were not pregnant with him were Bai Luan and Meng Niang.
He had already set up some formations in his mansion. As long as the two women activated them, they would be enough to kill ordinary masters in the Heavenly Realm.
It also has the function of automatic monitoring, and anyone who does not belong to the mansion will be sensed.
In addition, although the other women do not have the strength of the Heavenly Man Realm, many of them have already become top masters. They are also in the core of Xianyang Royal City, so there is no need to worry about their safety.
Five days later.
Being in the army, Cheng Jiao took Ehuang and Nvying, as well as the sisters Madam Hu and Concubine Hu, to the State of Yan.
In the huge carriage, Cheng Jiao enjoyed the service of Ehuang and Nuying.
For the extravagant enjoyment he enjoyed while on the march.
No one in the entire army had any objections.
They all knew that as long as the Marquis of Chang'an was there, fighting would be purely for military merit, and they would be invincible without any injuries.
Not to mention that Cheng Jiao was just enjoying himself in the carriage with a few beauties, even if Cheng Jiao was reveling every night, no one would say anything. They would only say that this guy was too brave and unmatched.
Cheng Jiao waved his hand and asked Mrs. Hu and Lady Hu to come into his arms.
He casually cast a magic circle to block out the sound.
He laughed and said, "Sister-in-law, it's time for the car to shake."
Mrs. Hu's gentle face was flushed red. She was very familiar with having sex in the car. Any woman who was often shaken by Cheng Jiao in the car would be familiar with it.
Lady Hu chuckled and took the initiative to take off her sister's clothes.
"Sister, this time we sisters must get pregnant with the young master's child."
Many sisters in the mansion are pregnant now. Although their strength has been improved to the first-class level by Cheng Jiao, there is still a world of difference compared to Cheng Jiao. In addition, due to bad luck, there has been no movement in their stomachs for several months.
Mrs. Hu had already gotten used to her sister talking like this, and she said "hmm". She also wanted to have the young master's child.
In particular, Cheng Jiao had already explained their relationship to the sisters in the mansion, and what she had been worried about did not happen. After a brief moment of surprise, Nong Yu understood her and said that she had guessed it a long time ago.
She felt relieved but also extremely shy.
After all, she would have to serve a man together with Nongyu in the future, and she still had some indescribable wonderful feelings.
Lady Hu secretly winked at Cheng Jiao.
My sister has no idea how much effort I have put in to convince Nanyue to accept such absurdity.
All this is just to make Cheng Jiao pay more attention to her.
Obviously, her efforts paid off. Cheng Jiao loved her more than Madam Mingzhu and helped her improve her strength.
Ehuang and Nuying took off their silk robes and began to dance slowly in the big carriage. The dance that Xue Nu and Ya Fei had taught in the mansion, accompanied by soft singing, added a lot of romance to the carriage.
Cheng Jiao was holding a beauty in one hand. Both Mrs. Hu and Miss Hu had perfect figures, extremely plump and very comfortable.
Without thinking too much, he took the two sisters to enjoy the smooth ride in the mechanical carriage made by Old Man Ban.
Outside the carriage, Zhuanhunmiepo, who were driving the mechanical carriage, did not hear the sound inside the carriage, but they knew from the vibration coming from the carriage that Cheng Jiao had cast a soundproofing magic circle and was beginning to test the luck of the sisters, Madam Xiang and Lady Hu.
Ten days later.
Cheng Jiao arrived at the capital of Yan State.
Looking at Prince Yan leading all the officials to pay tribute to the emperor, he shook his head helplessly.
This journey is so unchallenging.
Surrender wherever you go, and now he is itching to do something.
It seems that Yan Dan is a pretty good guy. At least he can get the Mechanical Qinglong, which makes him happy.
King Yan looked at Cheng Jiao and shook his head, his expression changing several times.
He gritted his teeth and winked at the eunuch next to him.
After a few breaths, the eunuch led an old woman in her fifties and a beautiful woman in her forties forward.
"My Lord, this is the Queen Mother and the Queen."
The eunuch said with some trepidation.
Cheng Jiao stared blankly at the extremely old woman in front of him. She was pretty, but he still felt a chill and speechless in his heart. He looked up at the sky with a bit of melancholy.
Who on earth spread the rumor that he went to war just because he liked to collect queens and queen mothers from various countries?
Lady Hu and Madam Hu, who were standing behind Cheng Jiao, both smiled.
They knew that rumors had been circulating that their dear prince was determined to collect the queen and queen mother.
But the sisters in the mansion all knew that Queen Chang and Queen Li Huan of Chu were just accidents. They had both given themselves to the prince before Cheng Jiao attacked Zhao and Chu.
Cheng Jiao waved his hand irritably: "Go aside."
Is he the kind of person who will eat anything when he is hungry?
Queen Mother Yan and King Yan both breathed a sigh of relief.
They are already this age, and they still have to accompany a young man. What's this?
If it weren't for the shamelessness of the Prince of Yan, and if it was not a matter of life and death for the Royal Family of Yan, they would rather commit suicide than do the shameful thing of sharing a husband.
