No one in the court mentioned the fact that Rong Xi was pregnant, because the emperor had already instructed everyone in the palace yesterday.

Anyone who speaks now would be considered to have planted spies in the palace.

No one would be so stupid as to give themselves away, so they could only talk about the old-fashioned matter of adoption.

"Your Majesty, the adoption cannot be delayed any longer. How can we be worthy of our ancestors if we have no one to carry on our empire?"

"Um."

"Your Majesty, Prince Liang's second son is intelligent and sensible. He is a promising young man. If he is well nurtured, he will surely become your Majesty's right-hand man."

"His Majesty……"

"His Majesty……"

"His Majesty……"

.

The emperor had a headache after hearing this. His mind had already flown to Chuxiu Palace. He didn't know whether the little girl had eaten well or not, and he didn't know whether she was feeling unwell after being bumped yesterday.

By the way, yesterday’s incident hasn’t been dealt with yet.

"Dismissed."

The court officials: "..." They haven't finished speaking yet?

As soon as the emperor arrived at Chuxiu Palace, he saw the queen mother sitting in front of Jiang Rongxi's bed, feeding her medicine personally.

"Mother, what are you doing?"

Jiang Rongxi said that she didn't understand what the situation was.

The Queen Mother came to her palace early in the morning and brought people to check everything inside and out. Even the cakes she had hidden were found.

…

She felt a little helpless, and she was really not used to the Queen Mother acting like this.

He had a serious face yesterday, but today he turned into a kind old man, making her want to lie on her lap and let her stroke her hair.

After finishing all the busy work, I still have to feed myself medicine myself. No, the key point is why I need to take medicine and what is this medicine for?

System: [Rong Xi, this is a pregnancy-maintaining medicine. You were hit in the abdomen yesterday. This was prescribed by the Imperial Hospital.]

"Can I not drink it? It's very bitter."

System: [Yes, your child is also the system's child. The system will protect you.]

The Queen Mother ignored the Emperor until she had fed Rong Xi the medicine spoonful by spoonful before turning around to look at the Emperor.

"I am taking care of my grandson."

"Mother, you can let the maids handle these things, why are you doing it yourself?"

"I'm worried about them coming."

Rong Xi finally had the chance to speak. "Your Majesty, I can take the medicine myself. Besides, I am in good health and don't need any medicine."

She knew there was no problem because the system had already guaranteed it.

"Rongpin, you are very precious now, you must be careful about everything." The Queen Mother was afraid that what she said was too profound and Rong Xi would not understand, so she changed her words.

"In the future, just tell Madam Chang what you want to eat. Make sure Madam Chang is okay before you eat it. Do you understand?"

"I understand."

The Queen Mother was very pleased to see her being so well-behaved.

She had been busy since early morning and was a little tired. The emperor noticed it and asked her to go back and rest and come back later.

Seeing that there were people guarding the emperor when he returned, the empress dowager went back with peace of mind.

Now it was finally just the two of them.

"Xi'er, can I touch your belly? I won't hurt them."

Rong Xi thought about it and said, "Okay."

This time, the emperor not only touched it, but also lay down in front of Rong Xi's belly and listened.

"They are too young for Your Majesty to hear."

The emperor was a little surprised. How did the little girl know all this? He asked, "How did Xier know that I can't hear it now?"

"It will take four or five months for them to move."

"Xi'er knows so much."

When the emperor wanted to lie down and listen, Rong Xi lifted the quilt and tried to get out of bed.

"Where are you going? The imperial physician said you need to take good care of the baby and not move around."

"I have to go to the palace and bask in the sun."

"I'll carry you there."

Rong Xi thought it was feasible and it would be great if he didn’t have to walk by himself.

So the people in Chuxiu Palace saw His Majesty holding Concubine Rong, sometimes going to the royal chamber, sometimes holding her outside to bask in the sun, and even feeding her food himself.

Chunhua and Qiuyue both blushed a little when they saw this, but at the same time they were really happy that their young lady had finally made it.

Rong Xi began to feel drowsy again. The emperor put her back on the couch, but she rolled over as usual and then became motionless. He felt that Rong Xi was really easy to take care of.

It was a rare opportunity for him to visit the Queen's palace, and he asked the Queen to call all the concubines here in advance.

"You all know that Concubine Rong is pregnant."

"yes."

"Since you know, I will give you one more reminder. You all know my physical condition. For so many years, there has only been one Princess, Jingning.

I also know what you are thinking, and I also know why the families behind you sent you into the palace. But no matter what the reason is, you are now members of the royal family. If anything happens to my kingdom, you will not have a good ending.

Although this may sound a bit harsh, I hope you know that the child in Rongpin's belly is mine, and also yours.

If something goes wrong, and I adopt someone else's child, do you think that child, who has already been raised well, will really show you any mercy?"

Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. What the emperor said made sense. Now that they had entered the palace, even if the emperor changed in the future, their family would still be the new emperor's courtiers.

But they were concubines in the palace, and death was their only fate.

The Queen took the lead and knelt down. "Your Majesty, I understand your majesty's intention. We will protect the child in Rongpin's belly."

Seeing that the queen had expressed her opinion, the others also knelt down.

The emperor did not let them stand up immediately.

"You all know that Concubine Rong is simple-minded. Even if she gives birth to a child, it will not threaten the status of any of you. On the contrary, if you do your utmost to protect her and the child in her belly and ensure the child's safe birth, I will definitely remember you in my heart."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The emperor felt that he had made himself very clear. If someone still wanted to cause trouble, then don't blame him.

When Rong Xi woke up, he felt that his mind was much clearer today.

Whether it was during the end of the world or when she was a cat, she had never actually been pregnant. This feeling was really strange.

She asked Nanny Chang to find her some books about pregnancy, but she found that she didn't recognize many of the words.

The original owner had never been to school since she was sent to Zhuangzi since she was a child. In her previous life, she was a cat demon in the end times and could only barely recognize a few words, which made her feel troubled.

Chunhua and Qiuyue felt so distressed to see her like this. They had also heard about the life the young lady had lived before.

So she asked Nanny Chang to be her female teacher.

"Little Master, are you going to learn to read?"

"Well, before I entered the palace, I lived on the farm and had no chance to learn these characters."

What Rong Xi said was the truth, but it made Nanny Chang's eyes well up with tears.

Even the Queen and Consort Shu, who had just entered the door, heard this.

I didn't expect that she had lived such a life before. Even if they were pawns used by the family to win over His Majesty, they were carefully trained.

Then Rong Xi saw the Queen and Concubine Shu with strange expressions on their faces. She didn't understand what was wrong with them, so she was about to get off the bed and pay her respects.
