The Queen’s desire to see Madam Ye was fake, but her desire to see Ye Xiaoxiao was real.
After receiving the news, Madam Ye and Ye Xiaoxiao immediately rushed to the palace.
When she arrived at the gate of the palace, Mrs. Ye originally thought that she would have to wait for a while before going to the Queen's Palace.
Unexpectedly, as soon as they arrived, Iris was already waiting for them at the palace gate.
Ye Xiaoxiao smiled and said to Iris respectfully.
"Thank you, Aunt Iris. I'm just wondering why Her Majesty has suddenly summoned me."
Ye Xiaoxiao and Madam Ye didn't know the Queen's intention, so they asked Iris first.
Iris bowed respectfully to the two of them, then smiled faintly.
"Don't worry, young lady. It's nothing serious. The Queen just wants to talk to you."
Ye Xiaoxiao knew what was going on, but Madam Ye was a little confused.
The two followed Iris to the Queen's bedroom, but the Queen had already sent the servants away.
Seeing Ye Xiaoxiao coming, the queen waved to her enthusiastically.
"Xiaoxiao, come here quickly."
Ye Xiaoxiao glanced at Madam Ye awkwardly, and the Queen then remembered that in order to avoid others' suspicion, she had summoned Madam Ye in as well.
"Mrs. Ye, you don't have to be polite. Iris, please take a seat."
Iris understood and immediately invited the two to sit on the small couch next to the queen.
The queen looked at Ye Xiaoxiao's slightly bulging belly with a smile, and then gave a brief explanation to Madam Ye.
"Ever since I met Xiaoxiao last time, I have always liked this child very much."
"I haven't been feeling well these past few days, so I haven't had the chance to summon you into the palace."
"Fortunately, after taking the medicine yesterday, I feel much better now."
"The army is setting out today. Your Majesty has asked me to comfort the wives of the soldiers going off to the battle."
"It just so happens that I also want to talk to Xiaoxiao, so I summoned you and your daughter into the palace. I hope I won't cause you any trouble."
When Mrs. Ye heard this, she didn't dare to say anything more and immediately replied respectfully.
"Your Majesty, you are too kind. There is no need to worry. It is an honor for us mother and daughter to enter the palace."
"I just don't know what's happening to your Majesty's body...?"
The queen had just recovered and was still a little weak. She was lying on the bed and talking to the two of them.
Seeing that Mrs. Ye cared about him, he simply told her everything.
"Your Majesty is blessed by heaven. It sounds like your symptoms are somewhat similar to those of the epidemic."
"Your Majesty, your precious daughter, is now healthy. I believe that our dynasty will also be able to safely overcome this epidemic."
The queen smiled meaningfully and glanced at Ye Xiaoxiao, then started chatting with the two of them about family matters.
"Xiaoxiao, you're getting older this month. Are you feeling unwell?"
Ye Xiaoxiao smiled faintly and shook her head, "Thank you for your concern, Xiaoxiao is doing well, eating well and sleeping well."
The queen laughed even more happily when she heard this.
"When I was pregnant with the prince, I was just like you. Others couldn't eat or sleep well, but I was the exact opposite."
"Not only do I eat well and sleep well, but my body is also very flexible. If it weren't for the slight bulge in my belly, no one would know that I was pregnant."
"After the prince was born, he was very easy to take care of. He didn't cry or make a fuss and was very well-behaved."
“At first, some people secretly suspected that the prince had a weak constitution, which was why he didn’t cry or make a fuss.”
"But after the imperial physician's examination, the prince is in perfect health."
"Not only that, as the prince grows older, he is smarter than other children of his age and can learn anything quickly."
As the queen spoke, she began to recount the prince's childhood stories like an ordinary mother.
Madam Ye and Ye Xiaoxiao listened quietly. Madam Ye was a little confused as to why the Queen said this.
Ye Xiaoxiao knew that the Queen was taking this opportunity to let her know more about Shangguan Lingyun.
Ye Xiaoxiao listened quietly, sometimes smiling in agreement or saying a few words of comfort.
The queen talked for a while and saw that Ye Xiaoxiao was not too concerned about anything other than pregnancy and taking care of the child.
"Look at me. I haven't seen an acquaintance for a long time. I wasn't paying attention and I talked so much."
After the queen finished speaking, she glanced at Madam Ye who had been sitting beside her without saying a word.
"Mrs. Ye, you have many children at home, so you must have some experience in taking care of them. When the time comes, you should teach Xiaoxiao more."
The Queen spoke in the tone of an old woman, and Madam Ye had no choice but to respond awkwardly.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. I will never make the same mistake again."
"When Xiaoxiao gives birth, I will send more people to take care of her and will make sure that both mother and child are safe."
The queen felt relieved after hearing this, but she was still a little worried about the baby in Ye Xiaoxiao's belly.
"Xiaoxiao lives alone in the side courtyard with no one to take care of her. I am really worried."
"I wonder if Madam Ye has asked a doctor to check Xiaoxiao's pulse on time?"
Mrs. Ye and Ye Xiaoxiao suddenly felt a little embarrassed. They had been busy for a while and had forgotten about this matter.
Besides, they are ordinary wives of officials, how can they be as particular as the empresses in the palace, who have to check their pulse every now and then?
Ye Xiaoxiao knew that she needed to have regular prenatal checkups, but she had never had any problems, so she didn't care too much about it.
The queen knew from their expressions that they had not seen the doctor, and she felt unhappy.
"Iris, go summon Doctor Xu and ask him to check my pulse."
Iris immediately went to look for someone, while Ye Xiaoxiao and Madam Ye waited awkwardly.
Because of the recent spread of an epidemic in the harem, Doctor Xu had been on duty, so he arrived very quickly.
