Chapter 440: Fancy Birth
Although Gu Xi found it pleasing to the eye, he didn't understand what it was for.
She looked at the matchmaker in confusion:
"Are they all going to participate in the marriage proposal today? Did I take up space?"
The matchmaker gritted her teeth, suppressed her trembling, and said:
"Your Majesty, these young men are prepared for you."
"When the people learned that Your Majesty had been married for two years and still had no children, they were all very worried."
"Two months ago, the people of the country spontaneously organized an audition to select the best men in the country for Your Majesty to choose from!"
Ga?
Gu Xi's face was full of black lines.
Embarrassed.
Gu Xi was stunned.
Chu Zhao was also shocked.
Although he didn't hear clearly what the matchmaker and A Xi said, but looking at their expressions and those twenty handsome boys, what else did Chu Zhao not understand?
He was about to rush over, but Chu Shiting called over several experts, who held him by the waist and legs, and held him tightly.
Chu Shiting reached out and covered his son's mouth to prevent him from shouting.
He then directed everyone to carry Chu Zhao away.
Gu Xi looked back and didn't see Chu Zhao following him. He frowned, and then saw Chu Zhao being taken away by Chu Shiting.
"Ridiculous!" Gu Xi's face darkened.
The matchmaker was so frightened that she fell to her knees.
She had received money from the officials in the court, so she had to do the job under pressure. But if His Majesty was angry, how could a common woman like her withstand it?
The matchmaker knelt on the ground trembling, not daring to say a word.
Gu Xi knew that she must have been instructed by someone, and did not want to argue with her, so he turned around and tried to get off the bridge.
But at the bridgehead, I saw ministers kneeling on the ground, blocking the road.
The leader was the Prime Minister Zhou Qing.
Ever since Gu Xi abolished the ritual of kneeling when meeting officials, these ministers have not kneeled for a long time, but today they all knelt in unison.
Gu Xi turned around with a dark face, preparing to go down from the other end of the bridge.
There was another sound of people kneeling on the ground. Not only Wen Qingyun was there, but also her father Gu Yunqing. However, Gu Yunqing did not kneel. He stood behind them, watching their movements.
"you--"
Gu Xi was speechless. What did these old men want to do?
Fancy birth?
Wen Qingyun said loudly:
"Your Majesty, please have mercy on the people of this world. You have such excellent genes, you are a god descended from heaven. If you don't have offspring, what will happen to the people of this world in the future?"
"Your Majesty has been on the throne for two years. Fengyi Country has developed by leaps and bounds, and the people are living an unprecedentedly good life."
"But everyone is worried that our dynasty's prosperity is only temporary, and that future generations won't be able to live such a good life."
"Today's events were led by me, but they are also the wishes of the people of the world!"
"Your Majesty, please accept more concubines!"
Seeing Wen Qingyun kowtow, Gu Xi shouted:
"Ridiculous! Are you forcing me to make a mistake? The law I set myself, monogamy, will never be changed!"
Wen Qingyun looked up, tears in his eyes:
"Your Majesty, these young men don't need any status, you can only have one royal husband forever!"
Gu Xi covered his face. Is this a question of status?
"All of you get up! I can't possibly take a concubine!"
Gu Xi was depressed to death.
She couldn't say in front of so many people that she used contraception on purpose.
Because she has always encouraged people all over the world to have more children.
Wen Qingyun is ready to die:
"No! If your Majesty doesn't agree, I won't get up!"
The twenty young men under the bridge also knelt down.
Gu Xi glanced at them.
Wen Qingyun was overjoyed, thinking that the emperor had changed his mind.
Unexpectedly, Gu Xi turned around and said:
"Wen Qingyun, you are so brave! Do you want to force your own nephew to me?"
Wen Qingyun's face darkened, but he said fearlessly:
"Your Majesty, although these people were personally selected by me, they are definitely the best young people selected after a nationwide audition. I have absolutely no selfish motives!"
"Although there are some sons of ministers among these twenty young men, they all won by strength, and none of them are from the Wen family!"
Gu Xi rolled his eyes.
Although Gu Yunqing couldn't bear to see his daughter in trouble, since this was the wish of the ministers and the people, he didn't dare to obstruct it.
What's more, he was sincerely looking forward to holding his grandson as soon as possible.
Civil and military officials knelt on both ends of the bridge, twenty handsome young men knelt on the front side of the bridge, and a large number of ordinary people knelt on the back side of the bridge.
They shouted in unison:
"I beg Your Majesty to recruit more lovers and expand your family!"
"I beg Your Majesty to recruit more lovers and expand your family!"
"I beg Your Majesty to recruit more lovers and expand your family!"
Although Gu Xi had said before that the heir did not have to be her child, as long as he was good enough.
However, all the civil and military officials as well as the people of the world believed that Her Majesty was a messenger of God and only her children were worthy of this world.
Only her children can protect this world.
Gu Xi was forced to the point of being in tears and laughter by this group of people.
She is obviously only eighteen years old. In modern times, she is still a baby.
These people are too impatient.
"Okay, if you want to kneel, go ahead!"
Gu Xi also got angry. You think that I have no way to do anything since you have surrounded me?
Haha, even the enemy’s thousands of troops can’t trap me.
Gu Xi used his lightness skills to fly up.
Everyone watched as their Majesty flew away on the wind, getting farther and farther away.
Zhou Qing stood up and said:
"Oh! Forget it, let's all get up. It seems that our Majesty will not buy this. Let's think of another way."
Wen Qingyun waved towards the twenty handsome men:
"You go back first and wait for the call at any time."
Everyone left.
Gu Xi rode the wind and left, intending to find Chu Zhao.
But Chu Zhao was taken away by Chu Shiting at this moment, and it was obvious that Chu Shiting, as a jealous person, must be extremely jealous at this moment.
And those ministers must be trying to find a lover for her.
For a moment, Gu Xi didn't know where to go.
I just used invisibility so that others couldn't see me and I could just wander around.
During this walk, we walked into the old imperial palace.
The Council Hall remains as magnificent as before.
Gu Xi walked in.
Emperor Jichang was seen wearing a dragon robe and sitting on the dragon throne.
Many tourists are taking photos and checking in here.
There were also two young ladies dressed very fashionably, standing on both sides of Emperor Jichang, making scissors hands gestures and asking people to take pictures of them.
Emperor Jichang smiled and said:
"My beloved concubines, you are all my beloved concubines. I am going to select concubines and recruit many concubines."
Eunuch Lin was serving by the side.
Although he felt that these tourists treated his Majesty as a monkey, which was inappropriate, his Majesty never got tired of it.
He likes being surrounded by people.
There was also a young lady dressed in royal court lady costume who came forward to take photos and check in, saying:
"Your Majesty, with my beauty, how many ranks of concubines can I be given?"
Emperor Jichang looked at the young lady with lustful eyes, but his body had no reaction any longer.
He suddenly said angrily:
"You, you, you! You are Concubine Shi! You bitch, you actually tried to usurp my throne! Someone, drag her out and beat her to death!"
