No matter how many speculations people had in their minds, this matter was settled just like that.
After the morning court session ended, the Fourth Prince and Concubine Dowager De received the imperial edict of enfeoffment, and Song Hu also handed over all the military power in his hands.
Shangguan Lingyun did not discuss it with anyone else and directly gave the position of Minister of War to Ye Rong.
After the court officials and the people learned about this, they became even more wary of the Ye family.
After Ye Pengcheng heard the news, he was not happy but a little worried.
"Why are you walking around here? You're making me dizzy."
Mrs. Ye looked at Ye Pengcheng pacing back and forth in front of her with some dissatisfaction.
After hearing this, Ye Pengcheng sat down opposite Mrs. Ye, feeling nervous.
"Madam, I am truly terrified."
"Look for yourself. The Ye family now has a queen, a duke, four uncles-in-law, and now Ye Rong has become the Minister of War."
"The Qin family, a Grand Tutor, a Shangshu, and a Prince's Grand Tutor, as well as the Li and Sun families, don't you feel terrified?"
After hearing what Ye Pengcheng said, Mrs. Ye was also a little worried.
"Yes, your majesty's mother's family has been implicated, and now Xiaoxiao is being pampered by your majesty, and we are also being promoted again and again."
"If one day Xiaoxiao and His Majesty become estranged, then all of us will become the ones His Majesty fears."
"Husband, now that you put it that way, I'm a little worried. What should we do?"
Ye Pengcheng and Mrs. Ye were both a little undecided, and so was Qin Chuan.
"Dad, what do you think His Majesty means?"
The old Duke understood everything and patted his son with a faint smile.
"Don't worry, now that your majesty and Xiaoxiao are in love, and there are no other concubines around, then Yangyang is likely to be the future crown prince heir."
"Your Majesty is doing this to reassure Xiaoxiao and to strengthen Yangyang's maternal clan."
Qin Chuan was still a little worried, "What if one day, His Majesty treats Xiaoxiao..."
The old Duke's expression remained unchanged, and he even smiled.
"Xiaoxiao is not an ordinary person. His Majesty will not do anything to her. Don't worry about it."
"Isn't the imperial examination coming up soon? We old guys will have to give up our positions sooner or later. Why think so much?"
"Okay, if you have the time, why not arrange marriages for the two children?"
Qin Chuan had no choice but to shut up and then went to discuss the children's marriage with his wife.
As the days passed, Ye Xiaoxiao felt a little bored, so she took her two children to the imperial garden to bask in the sun.
A gust of floral fragrance blew by, and Ye Xiaoxiao suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.
"Ugh~"
The retching sound scared Tianxuan, and she immediately summoned Doctor Xu to treat her.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty. Congratulations, Your Majesty, You are pregnant."
Ye Xiaoxiao's face darkened and she touched her belly in disbelief.
"What the hell? I'm pregnant?"
"That's not right. I've always taken contraceptive measures after sex. How could I be pregnant?"
Ye Xiaoxiao was puzzled and pondered for a long time before suddenly slapping herself on the head.
I feel like I forgot to do something.
[I was so exhausted from messing around in the Imperial Study the day I returned to the palace that I actually forgot to use contraception.]
[No, Shangguan Lingyun, this bastard, is so capable that he didn't take any measures just once, and the child got pregnant again?]
Ye Xiaoxiao felt like crying but had no tears. The pain of giving birth some time ago seemed like it was just yesterday.
She never expected that she would get pregnant again just when she was planning to stay.
Looking at the two children who had not yet grown up beside her, and touching her still flat belly, Ye Xiaoxiao felt a little confused.
"Mother?"
Doctor Xu looked at Ye Xiaoxiao, who looked unwell, with some concern, and then gave her a gentle reminder.
Ye Xiaoxiao came back to her senses and smiled awkwardly without waiting for Doctor Xu to say anything else.
"I understand. Doctor Xu, please leave first. Don't tell His Majesty about this for now."
Doctor Xu nodded, then left with his medicine box.
Tianxuan glanced at Ye Xiaoxiao and asked in a low voice.
"My lady, are you unhappy?"
Ye Xiaoxiao smiled bitterly, "Not really, but when I think about the hardships of pregnancy and childbirth, I'm a little worried."
"Also, we haven't found all the antidotes for the two children yet. If I get pregnant, I'm afraid the collection of the herbs will be delayed for quite a while."
Tianxuan heard this and suddenly came up with an idea.
"My Lady, you said that these herbs must be picked by you yourself. Is there such a possibility?"
"If the people from the No. 1 Manor in the World find the medicinal herb, they can dig it out along with the surrounding soil."
"And after it's delivered to you, can you pick it yourself?"
When Ye Xiaoxiao heard this, she felt that there was hope, so she hurriedly asked the system about it.
"System, come out. You haven't given me the reward for picking herbs last time."
Ye Xiaoxiao has now discovered that this system is not only deceptive but also a bit stingy.
As long as you don't ask it for rewards, it will definitely delay day by day.
When the system heard Ye Xiaoxiao actually asked it for a reward, it really spoke.
"Congratulations to the host for obtaining a fruitless herb. The system rewards you with a universal storage box."
"A universal storage box? It sounds impressive. I wonder what it does?"
"As the name suggests, it means that anything can be stored."
"What your maid just said is not without reason, but it has not been verified, and the system cannot guarantee that it will be feasible."
