He Beiyi came to Chonghua Palace as soon as court was over. Li Yunyan had just been promoted by him, and she naturally thanked him profusely.
Li Yunyan had a meal with him, and He Beiyi held her hand, feeling very apologetic.
"Yan'er, you are now too heavy-hearted to serve me in bed, I...I..."
He found it hard to say, feeling guilty towards her. This was a state of mind he had never experienced before.
Li Yunyan smiled gently and said, "I am uneasy that I cannot serve Your Majesty in bed now. As the Son of Heaven, Your Majesty should prioritize having offspring. I beg Your Majesty to extend your favor to all the other sisters and let them also have good news!"
Her words were kind and generous, but He Beiyi felt a pang of pain in his heart. He wished he could keep her by his side at all times!
He held her tightly in his arms, sighing deeply, "Yan'er! Why are you so good to me?"
Li Yunyan lowered her eyes; she was in trouble!
Because I don't love you, I'm magnanimous.
He Beiyi said solemnly, "Yan'er, don't be afraid. From now on, I will come to accompany you during the day, have meals with you, drink tea with you, and read books with you."
She nodded gently. He Beiyi felt tenderness in his heart and wanted to kiss her, but he was afraid that she would be upset, so he could only gently stroke her face and restrain himself.

That very night, He Beiyi went to another part of the inner palace and began his daily routine of official business.
He specially bestowed several dishes upon Chonghua Palace, all of which were Li Yunyan's favorite dishes.
Late at night, Li Yunyan had already blew out the lamp and gone to bed, and Ying Huai came over.
He quietly climbed onto the bed, wanting to hold her as she fell asleep, but Li Yunyan immediately threw herself into his arms.
"You're still not asleep?" he asked in a hoarse voice.
"Hmm, I was wondering if you would come over."
"What if I hadn't come?"
"Then I'll just wait and wait, and then I'll fall asleep!"
He was charmed by her words and affectionately kissed her forehead. "Why are you being so obedient?"
Li Yunyan skillfully reached in and touched his abs.
"Because you are very good."
Ying Huai grabbed her mischievous little hand, his voice growing hoarse: "Don't move!"
"I'm going to move anyway!"
She reached out her other hand and touched his chest muscles.
Ying Huai was driven to desperation by her antics, so he grabbed her hands and placed them above her head, threatening, "Yan Yan, if you move around again, I won't be so polite."
Li Yunyan lifted her leg and wrapped it around him, pressing herself against him. Her voice was incredibly charming as she whispered in his ear, "I love it when you're not polite to me!"
Feeling her graceful curves, Ying Huai conceded defeat, his tone helpless: "Yan Yan, be good, the imperial physician already said..."
"I want it!"
"But..."
"I know medicine myself, nothing will happen!"
"But..." He still wanted to struggle a little more.
Are you going to give it to me or not?
"......"
"Waaaaah!!!"
"Here you go!"... "I'll give it to you!"
The gentle style is equally captivating.
Li Yunyan was so happy that she didn't know what the world was like.

Time slipped by, and Li Yunyan was just three months pregnant when her belly started to bulge out.
Even in the dead of winter, with thick clothes covering her, her unusually large belly was still noticeable.
Both the imperial court and the harem attached great importance to her pregnancy. Even the Empress Dowager sent her personal nanny to check on her every few days to understand her condition.
He Beiyi was extremely cautious and summoned three more imperial physicians to take his pulse at the same time.
The result is obvious.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty! Great joy! Great joy indeed!"
The imperial physician kowtowed heavily and exclaimed, "Your Majesty! The Imperial Concubine is carrying triplets!"
He Beiyi suddenly stood up, and in his excitement, he knocked over a stool.
His voice trembled, filled with ecstasy and disbelief, "Is this really true?"
The imperial physician raised his head excitedly, "Your Majesty, it's absolutely true!"
Hahahaha!!!
"Three! Great! That's fantastic!"
"This is wonderful!!!"
He paced back and forth excitedly, sometimes rubbing his hands together and grinning foolishly, sometimes hugging Li Yunyan, overjoyed beyond measure!
"Yuanqing! Quickly go and inform the Empress Dowager of this good news!"
"Yes! This servant will go right away!"
Yuan Qing almost cried tears of joy. His emperor was perfect in every way, except for having so few children! Now, suddenly there were three more. He was truly happy for his emperor; even if it meant his immediate death, it would be worth it!
After everyone had left, He Beiyi excitedly picked up Li Yunyan and spun her around in the room.
Li Yunyan sensed his joy, wrapped her arms tightly around his neck, and after making him happy, she leaned against him, feeling dizzy.
He Beiyi then realized that he had been too carried away and asked with concern, "Yan'er, I'm sorry, I was just too happy. Are you feeling unwell?"
Li Yunyan shook her head, "Seeing Your Majesty happy makes me happy too."
He Beiyi was overjoyed beyond measure. He was absolutely certain that Yan'er was the most precious gift God had given him!
"Yan'er! I don't know how to express my gratitude to you! I wish I could give you all the best things in the world, I wish I could immediately make you Empress... Hmm!"
Li Yunyan quickly raised her hand to cover the words he was about to say, shaking her head disapprovingly and saying, "Your Majesty, you should not say such things casually. If the Empress finds out, she will be unhappy."
He Beiyi's excited eyes darkened.
Empress, he will get rid of her one day!
He wanted his Yan'er to sit on the throne of the empress in glory!
The gifts from Cining Palace were even more generous than last time! The old nanny held Li Yunyan's hand and looked her over again and again, making no attempt to hide her affection for her.
“You are a blessed person! The Empress Dowager said that she will come to Chonghua Palace to see you after you give birth.”
Li Yunyan smiled gently and said, "Your Majesty, I am very grateful for your kindness. It should be me who goes to see her!"
The old nanny patted her hand, "It's alright. The Empress Dowager prefers peace and quiet and doesn't like to move around. It's good that she can come out for a walk occasionally!"
"Your Majesty, I will take good care of myself during this pregnancy and give birth to three healthy and lively grandsons for Your Majesty!"
Older people love to hear these kinds of words!
After hearing this, the old woman immediately wanted to take out all her savings and give it to her!
Suddenly, she understood why the emperor valued the imperial concubine so much. No one would dislike such a beautiful, well-behaved, and sensible child!
She gave a few instructions and then happily returned to Cining Palace to report back.
When the Empress heard that Li Yunyan was pregnant with triplets, she was filled with intense jealousy and then complained about the injustice of fate once again!
His Majesty dotes on her! Even Heaven itself favors her!
Why does she get all the good things?!
She smashed another pile of ceramic shards on the floor, watching the palace maids tidy up the room with a gloomy expression.
Then he laughed triumphantly.
One is fine, three would be even better! From now on, these will all be her children!
Li Yunyan was nothing more than an object for him to have children!
She already considered him a dead person!
