Xie Zhixuan raised her eyes to look at Gu Ling and said, "You are not that old... Master Fu Di didn't retire even at the age of seventy..."

Gu Ling smiled and said, "I am also tired of the fighting in the court. The Fu family has no successors, and our Yan'er has won military merit and is now the Minister of the Central Secretariat. Jingyu's husband has also been appointed as the Deputy Commander of the Imperial Guard. It is time for me to retire and become an idle prince.

On weekdays, I accompany you to see patients and play with your grandchildren."

Xie Zhixuan smiled slightly, "You're only forty, and you're already enjoying the company of your grandchildren?"

Gu Ling smiled and said, "The main reason is that I want to spend more time with you. Yan'er has grown up, Yun Xiangye can take over our family business, Jingyu's marriage is done, and it's time for you and me to enjoy some free time together."

Little Jingru turned around and said, "Daddy, it's not just two people, there's me too!"

Gu Ling asked, "I heard that you are the boss in the academy? Everyone calls you Little Master?"

Xiao Jingru nodded proudly and said, "Yes."

Gu Ling said, "You have to go to school, so on weekdays it's just me and your mother."

Little Jingru touched her chin, feeling a little embarrassed, not knowing whether to follow her parents or go to the academy to study.

Gu Ling said: "Nuonuo might be bullied if she studies alone in the academy. You have to go to the academy to protect Nuonuo."

Little Jingru nodded, looked at Xie Zhixuan in embarrassment and said, "Then mother, just play with father. I am your aunt, and I want to protect Nuonuo from being bullied."

Xie Zhixuan smiled faintly and rubbed Xiao Jingru's head. Fire trees and silver flowers bloomed and starlight fell.

When Gu Yan married Yun Xiangye, he took three days off.

When he returned to the court, he saw his father's resignation letter in the East Palace.

Zhao Yun looked at Gu Yan and said, "My uncle has already asked to resign and become his idle prince."

Gu Yan frowned slightly and said, "Why didn't my father discuss this with me?"

Zhao Yun said, "My uncle has been an official for many years and has offended many people. Now that you are married, he probably feels that it is time to give up the court to a rising star."

Gu Yan said, "He probably saw that Xiangye was now in charge of both the Princess's Mansion and the Gu family, so he and mother could just go out and have fun as they pleased."

Zhao Yun couldn't help but smile, "My father also said so. He has agreed to my uncle's resignation."

Gu Yan also smiled. He knew in his heart that the Gu family was already extremely wealthy. If Gu Ling did not step down, he would never be able to reach a high position. Zhao Yun would definitely be worried about the Gu family father and son controlling the government.

"Your Highness, the Crown Princess has vomited three times today. She has been vomiting everything she eats."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Yun got up hurriedly and went to the bedroom without caring about Gu Yan.

When Gu Yan heard the news, he couldn't help but worry. Yun Xiangye was probably worried too when she heard that her sister was seriously ill.

In the sleeping hall.

Zhao Yun frowned as he saw the imperial doctors stroking their beards in front of him. "You haven't cured my headache yet, and now I'm vomiting non-stop. Can't you cure it too?"

Faced with Zhao Yun's anger, several imperial doctors could only lower their heads.

"This old minister's medical skills are limited, and I am truly powerless."

Ye Wanhe looked at Zhao Yun and said, "Don't blame these imperial doctors. They did their best."

Zhao Yun instructed Li Quan, "Go to the Princess's residence and invite Princess Jingyu to come."

"yes."

In the Princess's Mansion, Yun Xiangye was accompanying Gu Jingyu to try on her wedding dress. Gu Jingyu's wedding date was after Zhao Rui's, both in the twelfth lunar month. This time she was trying on the wedding dress for the first time, and there were still some things that needed to be changed.

Hearing that Li Quan came to Gu Jingyu to treat the Crown Princess, Yun Xiangye couldn't help but feel worried, so she followed Gu Jingyu into the East Palace.

In the East Palace.

The eunuchs and palace maids did not dare to breathe loudly, for fear of angering His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

Yun Xiangye followed Gu Jingyu inside and saw Ye Wanhe lying on the bed vomiting.

Seeing this, Gu Jingyu stepped forward to check Ye Wanhe's pulse and said with a gentle smile, "Sister-in-law, your headache may be cured."

Ye Wanhe looked at Gu Jingyu and said, "Really? But come to think of it, I haven't had a headache in the past few days. I just vomited a lot. I thought the vomiting would make the headache go away. It would be great if it could be cured."

Although the imperial doctors said that this headache would not be fatal, the pain was really unbearable when it happened. I couldn't sleep or eat well, and it was even difficult to go out on weekdays.

Gu Jingyu nodded and said, "Logically, your headache is caused by not taking good care of yourself after the confinement period. You are too worried during the confinement period, which leads to migraines. Therefore, this headache is very difficult to treat. Even though my mother has seen so many pregnant women, she still hasn't figured out how to remedy this problem. But there is actually a way."

Yun Xiangye hurriedly asked, "What method?"

Gu Jingyu said, "Actually, this method is very simple. That is to have another child and take good care of the child during the second confinement period. But I am afraid that the emperor's sister-in-law is already weak and it will be difficult for her to get pregnant a second time. However, this will make the emperor's sister-in-law feel pregnant. If she takes good care of the child during this pregnancy, she may be able to make up for it. But remember not to make any mistakes or omissions, otherwise it will only make things worse."

Ye Wanhe slowly touched her belly and said in surprise, "I'm pregnant again?"

Gu Jingyu said, "Your pregnancy is still short, only about a month, and your pulse is not yet clear, but I am sure you are pregnant. The imperial doctors are afraid to be sure and dare not say anything."

Zhao Yun asked from the side, "Jingyu, can this second confinement really make up for the underlying illnesses from the previous confinement?"

Gu Jingyu nodded and said, "Yes, but she needs to be taken care of and served carefully. She must not be tired or unhappy at all."

Zhao Yun chuckled and looked at Ye Wanhe and said, "Well, I will take good care of you."

Ye Wanhe couldn't help but smile, "With the palace maids here, there's no need for you to take care of her."

Zhao Yun did not intend to hide the news of Ye Wanhe's pregnancy from anyone.

Especially the rumors that Ye Wanhe was dying a few days ago. Zhao Yun later found out that it was the wife of the Minister of Rites who wanted her own daughter of marriageable age to have a chance to be selected into the Eastern Palace. She took advantage of Ye Wanhe's headache and deliberately exaggerated the rumors.

Now that the Crown Princess is pregnant, such a happy event must be announced to the world.

Empress Wei rushed over as soon as she heard the news. The disgust in her eyes when she looked at Ye Wanhe was less. She chuckled and said, "It's good that you're pregnant again. Take good care of this baby and don't worry too much. The royal bloodline is thin, so it doesn't matter whether it's a boy or a girl. A little princess would be best, and a little grandson would be even better. It would be best if it's twins like Xiangye's. I heard that your brother had twins?"

Ye Wanhe chuckled and nodded, "They are a pair of nephews."

Zhao Yun said, "Please don't let them be twins. Wanhe is already weak and can't handle twins. Having too many children will only bring suffering to the mother."

Gu Yan, who came to the bedroom to pick up Yun Xiangye, heard what Zhao Yun said inside. He looked at Yun Xiangye and said, "I'm sorry for making you suffer."

Yun Xiangye smiled softly and said, "Twins, a boy and a girl, this is a blessing that others can't even pray for. I don't feel like I'm suffering. Fortunately, they are twins, a boy and a girl. Grandmother and Nuonuo's wishes have been fulfilled. Otherwise, I would have to give birth again."
