The prince walked over in two or three steps and patted the princess on the back, his worried expression clearly visible.

One of the two maids went to fetch water, and the other went to get a handkerchief.

Shangguan Ziqi and Yu Yuanzheng were both anxiously waiting for the princess to finish vomiting.

It wasn't enough that the princess vomited out everything she had just eaten, she also couldn't suppress the nausea.

He continued to vomit, and finally vomited out all the bile.

Several people felt distressed when seeing this.

I don't know what happened to her.

"Qiuyue, go ask the palace doctor to come and have a look." The prince saw that his wife was vomiting very violently, and wanted to send the servants away and let his daughter-in-law take her pulse, but it looked very serious.

Qiuyue gave the cup of water to the princess, and then disappeared in a flash.

When the court doctor arrived, the princess had finally finished vomiting and her face was pale.

"Doctor Luo, please check on the princess. She just vomited suddenly and violently."

Qiuyue almost chased the court doctor over because she thought he was too slow.

Doctor Luo knew the princess' condition was serious when he saw her, and he immediately sat down to feel her pulse.

I examined the left hand and then the right hand.

Sometimes he frowned, sometimes he raised his eyebrows.

It took about a quarter of an hour before he withdrew his hand.

"Princess, is your period overdue?" Doctor Luo asked with a smile.

"Yes, yes, yes." Qiuyue rushed to answer, "I and Qiuhe talked about this a few days ago. The princess said that it might be because of the cold weather and he caught a cold. He will have symptoms in a few days. This kind of situation has happened before, so the princess told us not to worry too much."

"How long has it been since you last came?" Doctor Luo asked again.

"It's been almost half a month." Qiuyue remembered it clearly.

As a maid who serves the master personally, the master has to pay attention to these things.

"Your Highness, Princess. What a happy news! The princess is pregnant." Doctor Luo stood up, bowed to the prince and congratulated him.

"What?" The prince and princess were both shocked.

How is this possible?

The princess is already thirty-eight years old, and she will be thirty-nine when she turns over the hurdle.

It is rare for a woman of this age to be pregnant.

Yu Yuanzheng and his wife looked at each other and exchanged their thoughts.

Yu Yuanzheng: You’re going to be a brother!

Shangguan Ziqi: Am I going to be a big brother?

"It cannot be wrong. She hasn't had her period for half a month and her pulse is very obvious. If Your Majesty doesn't believe me, you can ask the imperial physician to come to your house for a checkup." Doctor Luo said with certainty.

"However, the princess is a little old now, and her body is not as strong as that of a younger girl. You must be very careful in taking care of the pregnancy in the future. Try to work less, rest more, and exercise more appropriately to make your body stronger. Otherwise, childbirth is a big hurdle." Doctor Luo added.

"You can go down." After hearing this, the prince already knew what was going on.

After Doctor Luo left, the princess asked the maids to leave. Only the four of them were in the dining room.

Yu Yuanzheng didn't even need anyone to help her. She just sat down and took the princess's pulse.

It's really obvious.

"Father, mother is really pregnant." Yu Yuanzheng said with a cheerful smile.

"Haha..., ta-ta-ta! I, Shangguan Hongyi, never thought that I could have a child in my old age.

This is a blessing for my Shangguan family.

Princess, I was not a good husband before, and you didn't know that you had suffered so much harm from women.

I apologize to you as your husband.

From now on, you should just focus on taking care of your pregnancy and don't worry about anything.

You should hand over the housekeeper's affairs to Aunt Zhao first. If she can't handle the matter, she can come back to you." The prince laughed again and bowed to the princess.

Yu Yuanzheng was probably even happier than when he was a child and found out that his mother was pregnant with him.

The princess was still in a dream.

She never thought that she could still be pregnant.

It's so embarrassing that the mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law are pregnant at the same time.

"Oh, how embarrassing." These were the first words the princess uttered.

"Mother, how can you think like this? This is a happy event." Yu Yuanzheng comforted.

"You're already old, why would you still be pregnant? If people knew about this, wouldn't your mother laugh to death?" The princess was unable to adapt to this sudden good news.

"What's the big deal? Many women in the village can give birth to children in their forties. As long as a woman has her menstrual period, she can get pregnant. This is a normal thing. Besides, don't you want to have a caring little cotton-padded jacket?" Yu Yuanzheng tempted.

The prince and princess already had a son, so they definitely hoped that this time it would be a daughter, and she used this as a temptation.

When the princess heard this, her eyes lit up.

"You mean, I might be pregnant with a daughter?" The princess perked up.

"Well, we won't know until the baby is born, but there's at least a 50% chance that it's a girl." Yu Yuanzheng said some nonsense.

Who doesn't know half of it.

“Princess, no matter it is a boy or a girl, they are our children. Just take care of the fetus and ignore other people’s opinions.” The prince smiled brightly at this moment.

Yu Yuanzheng had been married into the palace for so long, but this was the first time she saw the prince smile so happily.

There is no dignified image at all.

She completely understood.

This is really a huge deal.

The news that the princess was pregnant spread throughout the mansion that night.

The prince specially sent someone to spread the news, he was really too happy.

At the time, he also wanted to see if there was anyone in the mansion who would do something bad to his child, but he didn't tell the princess about this.

He wanted to clear out the destabilizing factors in the government.

This news shocked everyone in the first and third rooms.

"You are so old, yet you have no shame." When the old lady heard the news, she started cursing in a low voice in her room.

Why didn't that damn Nanny Zheng give her any infertility-inducing medicine instead of saffron?

In her heart, she cursed the dead Madam Zheng again.

Until now, she hadn't figured out what was going on with Nanny Zheng, so how come she was suddenly exposed?

There are so many hidden things.

The old lady doesn't understand pharmacology. If she did, she would know that the drug for sterilizing children is not so easy to use and has a serious reaction. She would have known as soon as she consulted a doctor. It is impossible for the prince not to check, so she would have been exposed earlier.

The only foolproof solution is to use a method that is subtle and silent.

The old lady was very annoyed, but there was nothing she could do. Ever since the last incident with Nanny Zheng, the prince had released secret guards in the main courtyard, so it was impossible for her to do anything.

She was restless and started having nightmares at night. In order to guard against her, Shangguan Ziqi arranged for someone to eavesdrop on the roof.

The third wife had just returned home and had not yet settled everything. Before she had time to eat dinner, she heard the news coming from the main courtyard.

The third old lady frowned and said nothing.

The third wife returned to the third room and arranged things for the third old lady to go to the lotus courtyard. There was a small pond behind the courtyard, hence the name.

There were only the third old lady and the third master in the room, and the two children were sent to their own courtyards.

"Mother, the princess sister-in-law is pregnant. She is already so old, I really can't think of anything." The third lady had a sad face.

"Put away that expression on your face. Once you step out of this door, you must behave like the third lady of the royal palace." The third old lady scolded sternly.

"Yes, mother." The Third Lady always behaved modestly in front of the Third Old Lady.

This mother-in-law has always been strict. Although she didn't do anything to her, she always said no.

If she did anything wrong, she would be scolded and sometimes even punished, regardless of the fact that she had given birth to three children for her husband.

"Mother, do we need to do anything?" the third master asked in a low voice, also with a serious face.
