The emperor attached great importance to Concubine Chen's pregnancy because the eldest prince was of average aptitude, the second prince was weak, and the eldest princess had a finger disease. He urgently needed a healthy prince to prove his ability in some way.
And the court had reached the time to establish a crown prince.
Jiang Ying had no choice but to step forward as she was told. She waited until Concubine Chen stretched out her hand and was ready before she gently placed her fingertips on it.
Concubine Chen looked at Jiang Ying, her charming eyes twinkling with a smile, "Miss Ying, take your time to read it, don't be in a hurry, it doesn't matter even if you can't read it, after all, even those old scholars in the Imperial Hospital can't read it, the emperor won't embarrass you, a virgin girl."
"Isn't that right, Your Majesty?" Concubine Chen spoke to the emperor in a casual tone.
Everyone present was silent, looking at their ears and noses and their hearts, thinking of themselves as wooden.
The emperor glanced at Jiang Ying, smiled and put his arm around Concubine Chen Guifei's shoulders, "Yes, my beloved concubine always controls me. However, my beloved concubine is proud and arrogant, and there are very few people in the harem who can pay attention to my beloved concubine. If you like her, I can let her be a female official, and then she can enter the palace to talk to my beloved concubine to relieve her boredom."
"Look at what the emperor said," Concubine Chen smiled coquettishly, "I am the legitimate daughter of the Duke's Mansion. I have just met my family, and you want to bring me into the palace to serve. How bad is that?"
The emperor seemed to be thinking about something. "My beloved concubine is right."
Jiang Ying concentrated on taking the patient's pulse while listening to the two of them talking back and forth about whether she should stay or go. To be honest, it was very annoying, but she understood that it was inevitable.
In ancient times, the imperial power was supreme. Not to mention her, even her father had to listen to the emperor!
While examining, her brows unconsciously raised.
The emperor saw it with his sharp eyes and immediately asked, "What's going on? Is the doctor here?"
Jiang Ying thought of Eunuch Huang's symptoms. On the surface, it was a leg disease, but in fact it was a kidney disease. The emperor cared so much about Huang Mingquan that it was impossible for him not to ask the Imperial Hospital for a diagnosis. The reason why he said half and half was actually to test her ability.
Now it is most likely the same.
So she was not too surprised and asked calmly, "Your Majesty, Concubine Chen is pregnant with not one but two heirs, right?"
Upon hearing this, dozens of pairs of eyes around suddenly looked at Jiang Ying.
Even Concubine Chen herself was no exception, her charming eyes were filled with watery ripples.
She is four months pregnant.
Except for Doctor Hu and the Emperor, no one knew that she was pregnant with twins.
In the harem where there are few offspring, even a single pregnancy is very noticeable, let alone twins. This is because Concubine Chen specifically asked the emperor for grace. Don't tell anyone before everyone sees it. After six or seven months when her belly can no longer be covered, just let nature take its course!
I never thought that I would be exposed today when I went to the palace on a whim.
Concubine Chen Guifei was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
The emperor was briefly surprised and then asked, "What do you think?"
It is not difficult to read the pulse of twins, but it is definitely not easy for a novice. Many old guys in the Imperial Hospital have been practicing medicine for more than ten or twenty years, so they are very cautious about such pulses.
The emperor was really curious. Jiang Ying was only in his teens. How could he have such a hard experience?
Is she really gifted?
Jiang Ying didn't want to say too much, mainly because she was sure that part of the reason was because of Monkey's outburst.
So I simply explained the two points, the important part is the latter one, "Your Majesty, I have diagnosed that Concubine Chen is pregnant with twins, and nine out of nine may be twins of a boy and a girl."
"Dragon-Phoenix fetus?" The emperor's tone suddenly rose, and he could hardly hide his surprise!
The ministers below were the best at guessing the monarch's thoughts, and they immediately smiled and congratulated him, "Congratulations, Your Majesty, congratulations, Your Majesty, not only have you achieved two goals with one move, but it is also an extremely rare dragon and phoenix twin, which is rare in the royal family. It is truly a great blessing! God bless our Nanzhao!"
With the first person starting, the second and third soon appeared...
They praised the emperor to the gods, saying that it was his wisdom and bravery that moved the gods, and that the Goddess of Childbirth was finally willing to give Nan Zhao a son, and that the future of this pair of dragon and phoenix twins would be limitless.
It was fake, but the emperor was pleased with it. He couldn't suppress the smile on his face and asked Jiang Ying, "Jiang, are you sure?"
How can you be sure of what's in your mind?
B-ultrasound can make mistakes sometimes.
But Jiang Ying was still calm, thinking about what her son said, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, I am sure of it!"
As soon as she finished speaking, the emperor was so happy that he turned around in a circle.
If he hadn't been worried about hurting the child, he would have picked up Concubine Chen!
"Okay! Huang Mingquan, reward Jiang! Oh no, not Jiang, the Duke's Mansion should be rewarded as well, just as a gift for Jiang and my brother's wedding!"
Hearing this, Jiang Ying subconsciously looked at Yan Zhuo who was standing beside her, and it turned out that the other party was actually looking at her?
The two people's eyes met briefly in the air, and it was Jiang Ying who looked away first.
I get a headache when I see this guy...
After a while, everyone realized that the emperor's words meant that he tacitly agreed to Jiang Ying's return to the clan, right?
Then, should the marriage of the Jiang family's legitimate daughter be counted on the fake legitimate daughter Jiang Yilin, or on the real legitimate daughter who has fallen into the common people?
Others didn't dare to ask, as it had nothing to do with them.
Luo couldn't sit still, "Your Majesty, there is something I don't understand..."
"So it's Jiang Qing's first wife. Go ahead and ask her." The emperor still looked easy to talk to, especially his gentle gaze, which almost never left Concubine Chen.
It can be seen that they have high expectations for this pregnancy.
Jiang Ying caught this and suddenly had a bold idea in his mind!
Here, Luo Shi was determined to get rid of her worries. "I have two daughters, and I care about them. I dare to ask the emperor about the marriage..."
But before Luo could finish, Yan Zhuo lifted his robe and knelt down, "Your Majesty, except Yingying, I am not interested in anyone else!"
Luo Shi, "..."
Jiang Yilin, "..."
Everyone: "..."
Jiang Ying, “!” You’re sick!
You want me, but have you ever asked me if I want you? What a joke! If you are money, everyone will love you!
When Jiang Ying rolled her eyes, the emperor's eyes wandered between her and Jiang Yilin for a while, and finally pursed his lips, pretending to be apologetic, "Mr. Jiang, look at this... It's not that I'm partial, it's mainly because the prince seems to like the true blood of your Jiang family more."
"Your Majesty, in my opinion, it's first come, first served. Miss Ying and Prince Yan have already made an agreement to marry each other, and their children are already so big. Now that Prince Yan is unwilling to take another woman, it doesn't mean that those other girls are not in Prince Yan's eyes and have no fate with him! As the saying goes, if there is a destiny, they will meet each other even if they are thousands of miles apart, and if there is no destiny, they will not recognize each other even if they meet face to face. Now that things have come to this, Miss Yilin should just choose another good husband to marry."
As she spoke, Concubine Chen looked at Jiang Ying several times.
But it can be said that Jiang Ying has some tricks in mind, and this guy's plan is quite obvious!
She was born...
So she was definitely speaking for Jiang Ying for no reason, but among all the people present, her words undoubtedly had the greatest impact on the emperor, who immediately decided, "Yes! The imperial concubine's reminder makes sense!"
Concubine Chen smiled and said, "Mr. Jiang, you don't have to worry. Your Duke's family is very good. Even if she is an adopted daughter, she is a good girl and is sought after by her family!"
Luo's heart sank, and the courage he had finally mustered was gone in an instant.
Jiang Yilin wanted to fight for herself, but in the current situation, what was the use of her saying it to the sky?
I was depressed for a while and hid in the shadows, hating everyone in my heart!
Father, brother, and grandmother are all bad people! Especially Luo, who keeps saying that she loves her, but in reality it's useless!
After finalizing the marriage candidate, the emperor was satisfied that the only ones left were Concubine Chen and her unborn child.
When he was about to leave with Concubine Chen Gui, the latter stood still and glanced at Jiang Ying with a friendly look, "Miss Ying, the palace has something I want to ask you, is it feasible?"
Jiang Ying had a premonition in his heart, and he lowered his head and nodded, "Your Majesty, please speak."
"The Queen Mother thinks you have extraordinary medical skills, and it is more convenient for a woman, so for the next month or so, Doctor Hu will continue to check the Queen Mother's pulse every half a month, and you will live and eat with the Queen Mother. When the Queen Mother gives birth safely, you will be rewarded handsomely!"
"Your servant... obeys your command." Jiang Ying responded readily without thinking too much.
Glancing sideways, I saw Yan Zhuo's expression was indescribable.
Did she ever think about how dangerous it was to take care of Concubine Chen's unborn baby?
Moreover, tomorrow is their wedding day, what does she want? Run away right after the wedding, or even not get married at all?
Jiang Ying said indifferently, "Your Majesty, Concubine, my situation is just as you said. I just got back with my family and don't want to get married so soon. In addition, I have to go to the palace to help you with your pregnancy, so I can't be filial to my parents. Therefore, shall I call off the marriage between me and Prince Yan?"
"Jiang!" Yan Zhuo frowned and said in a low voice.
Jiang Ying was too lazy to pay attention to him and pleaded with the emperor, "Your Majesty, I am saying this because I am truly thinking about His Royal Highness. I am not worthy of asking His Royal Highness to wait for me."
She thought, isn't this cruel enough?
Yan Zhuo really shouldn't have wasted his time on her.
The emperor shook his head and refused, "Cancel the engagement? No, no, I have already spoken, and you both have children. How about this, I will give you a year, the first half of which you will enter the palace to ensure that I have a baby, the second half of which you will be with your parents, and after a year, we will choose an auspicious day to get married!"
