After Conceiving Through Jing Tai's Touch

[Updates around midnight every day~ ("Around" means anywhere from two hours early to six hours late. Cultivation is in progress.)]

Blurb:

Prince Cheng, Zhu Qiyu, Emperor Jingtai.

Before his elder brother, Zhu Qizhen, "brilliantly" commanded twenty thousand Ming troops to their deaths in the Tumu Crisis,

he was diagnosed as pregnant.

...Wait.

How could he be diagnosed as pregnant?

And what do you mean his elder brother was diagnosed as pregnant too?

That can't be right!

.

The Left Shun Gate Incident.

Yu Qian looked at his colleagues, full of martial spirit, then at Prince Cheng, Zhu Qiyu, pale and barely able to sit upright.

He walked up to Zhu Qiyu, shielding him from the blood splattering over from his colleagues beating the Embroidered Uniform Guard.

When asked why he had come, he quietly explained:

"I was worried about the child in Your Highness's womb, so I came to protect you."

The unborn child in his womb, Zhu Di: [...]

Can't imagine how the history books will write this.jpg

tip:

* This isn't a real pregnancy. Zhu Di and Zhu Yuanzhang came to inspect things, but something went a little wrong.

* The general style is straight-faced comedy mixed with dark humor.

* This story is absolutely, absolutely, absolutely not suitable for any kind of fan of Zhu Qizhen, the Ming dynasty's god of war, the emperor who demanded the gates be opened, the Ming Emperor Zong who studied abroad with the Oirats. Thanks for understanding.

* References: Veritable Records of the Ming, Collected Biographies of the State, History of the Ming, and others.

* Since the premise includes emotional plotlines arising from the mistaken belief that a character is pregnant, this is categorized as a derivative romance.

-------Upcoming: Jingtai Fanfiction Book Club

Blurb:

One moment, he was attending a court assembly. The next, his vision went black.

When Zhu Qiyu found himself standing before a round table, he was horrified, thinking he had encountered his ancestors before his time.

But then Yu Qian, Yi Ming, Wang Hong, Chen Xun, and Shang Lu appeared before the table.

Then came Zhang Juzheng, Shu Liang, the infant Zhu Jianshen in the arms of the palace maid Wan Zhen'er, Zhu Houzhao, Cao Nai, Hu Ying, and Wang Wen.

Wait, hadn't Cao Nai died at Tumu?

And who was Zhang Juzheng?

Zhu Houzhao was his great-grandson?

Everyone had gathered here today to read fanfiction about Zhu Qiyu, the upright and martial Emperor Jingtai of the Ming dynasty!

The fanfiction was...

Wild, and enough to shock the entire Ming dynasty!

* Zhu Jianshen's story is about family bonds. Zhu Qiyu had an unlucky older brother, and Zhu Jianshen had an unlucky father. Both were unlucky fellows.

* Zhang Juzheng and Zhu Houzhao are cameos; Cao Nai is brought back with a grand resurrection spell.

* Hu Ying is a spectator sent by Zhu Di, and he really does just watch. Gao Gu remains excluded. A moment of silence for him.

* Everyone at the book club has their romantic status temporarily reset to no pairings. But they're mostly old men anyway, so the difference isn't that big. In short, the whole story is for laughs, giving Ming dynasty rulers and ministers a taste of the shock brought by fangirls' fanfiction ( )

* I wrote all the fanfiction myself, so there are no copyright issues. This is hereby stated for the record.
