Chapter 557 Sure enough, it hit the target with one strike

The following days seemed particularly peaceful, and nothing special happened inside or outside the palace. In the blink of an eye, it was the end of the year.

At this time, good news came from the Chengguo Mansion! The Crown Prince's Consort is already three months pregnant!

Xu Muhua heard the news in the East Palace and sat up from the Luohan bed, surprised: "Really, my sister-in-law is really pregnant?"

Wu'er said happily, "My queen, it's true! According to the date, the Crown Prince's Consort should have been pregnant on the wedding night!"

Xu Muhua clapped her hands excitedly and blurted out: "I knew that with my eldest brother's ability, he would definitely hit the target with one strike!"

When Madam Qi walked in and heard this, her face turned black.

"Empress!"

Hearing these words, she was so outspoken, what would happen if someone heard them!

Xu Muhua was not afraid of Aunt Qi, and asked in return: "Aunt Qi, just tell me if what I said was right, right? You also heard Wu'er say that the baby in my sister-in-law's belly was probably conceived on the wedding night. Doesn't this prove that my eldest brother is amazing?"

Aunt Qi was furious. If she hadn't been concerned about her status, she really wanted to go up and knock her on the head!

She is the concubine of the Eastern Palace, she must pay attention to her status! How could she say such words without blushing or breathing heavily?

"Aunt Qi, hurry up, get ready, I want to give a gift to my sister-in-law!"

This is a huge happy event!

In addition, there is another good thing!

The old lady of the Chengguo Mansion was seriously ill before, and everyone thought that the old lady would not survive this time. Didn’t you see that Duke Cheng gave up his military power and stayed in the capital to fulfill his filial piety?

But no one would have thought that the old lady was so lucky! She just kept on holding on and refused to breathe a sigh of relief. After dragging on for so long, she is actually getting better gradually!

Many people in the capital were privately amazed. They didn’t expect that the old lady, who was so old and seriously ill, could come back to life!

Xu’s mother even took people out to burn incense and fulfill their wishes with great fanfare - oh, they didn’t go to Xiangguo Temple, nor to any other famous temples, but to a Taoist temple that was unknown to the public!

Xuanqing Temple!

Xu’s mother said that when her mother-in-law was seriously ill, she went to Xuanqing Temple to make a wish, praying for the gods to bless her and let her mother-in-law recover.

Now that her mother-in-law has really recovered, of course she has to fulfill her wish!

When they went to fulfill their vow, the Crown Princess went up the mountain with them. When they arrived at Xuanqing Temple, they felt a little uncomfortable, so they asked the abbot to take their pulse. The pulse was diagnosed as pregnant! They

hurried down the mountain and returned to the mansion to invite a doctor, who confirmed that the Crown Princess was pregnant. According to the time, the child should have been conceived on the night of the wedding.

Now the Chengguo Mansion was full of joy!

Xu Muhua was in the East Palace, so she was naturally a little slow to receive the news.

Speaking of this, Madam Qi was also very happy, "Don't worry, your majesty, I have prepared everything. They are all things for pregnancy. There are food, clothes, and useful things. They have all been checked. They can be sent back to the Chengguo Mansion at any time."

The East Palace is certainly not short of these things, after all, the Crown Princess is not young anymore. Not to mention that the doctor has already found out from the pulse that the baby in the Crown Princess' belly is a boy!

This is even more valuable! Not to mention the Eastern Palace, the entire palace has to keep a close eye on the Crown Princess. The Queen and even the Emperor send people to question her from time to time, for fear that something has happened to the baby in the Crown Princess' belly.

"Mammy, I am very relieved to let you do this. You can personally take people to send the things back and pass on the message to let my sister-in-law rest assured and take care of the baby. If there is anything, send a letter to the Eastern Palace."

Mammy Qi shook her head with amusement and did not remind her.

Now that the Duke's Mansion has a mistress and a master, there is no need for the Queen to worry! Duke Cheng is the pillar of support. With him, everyone in the Duke Cheng's Mansion feels that they have someone to rely on. There is no need to be like before, counting on a room full of women and children.

Instead of worrying about this, Your Majesty might as well think about it and get pregnant as soon as possible.

Thinking of this, Aunt Qi felt worried.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would stay in Yichun Palace for a few days every month, why hasn't Your Majesty gotten pregnant yet? Is it so difficult for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to get pregnant?

Thinking of the fact that the Crown Princess also got pregnant after entering the East Palace for a long time, Aunt Qi had to suppress her anxiety and prayed in her heart that her Majesty could get pregnant as soon as possible. No matter whether it is a boy or a girl, it is good to have one. In the future, she will be a princess. With children, Your Majesty's life will be more stable in the future.

Aunt Qi had no idea that every time the Crown Prince came to Yichun Palace, he and Xu Muhua would be very clear about their relationship. Even if she asked for water, it was just to pretend so that people would not suspect them and realize that they had been acting.

They had to do the whole thing.

So at first Nanny Qi was worried that she would not sleep with him because of her relationship with Pei Shaorong, but she was relieved later. Who knew there was such a hidden story! She also didn't expect that the prince was so loyal to the princess and was willing to accompany Xu Muhua in fooling around.

Knowing that her sister-in-law was pregnant, Xu Muhua was so happy when she thought that she would have a nephew or niece in a few months.

At this point, the Chengguo Mansion should not end up like in the book, with the family broken up, right?

When she was reading the book, she remembered that the ending was that the heroine and the hero gave birth to a child. Doesn't this mean that it will soon develop to the final stage?

I don't know why, but Xu Muhua always felt that things seemed to go too smoothly after she came here. So smoothly that it made people suspicious.

The excitement caused by her sister-in-law's suspicion calmed down because of this incident.

Xu Muhua shrank back to the Luohan bed.

Just as she was thinking deeply, a familiar crow came in through the window, shook off the snow on its body, and jumped directly to the kotatsu to warm itself up.

"Crow, why are you here? It's cold today. You should find a warm place to avoid the cold!"

"It's okay. I'm fine! I came to give you a message. The news of your sister-in-law's pregnancy has reached the palace."

Xu Muhua was not surprised. "I have received it. The palace should have received it as well. What do you think? Is the emperor very surprised and shocked?"

Crow nodded.

Yes, the emperor broke another piece of paper!

Of course, it was all private matters. Apart from the emperor and his close servants, Xu Muhua was the only one who knew about it. Who asked her little intelligence agent to keep an eye on the emperor every day? He almost told Xu Muhua the frequency and time of the emperor's toilet breaks! Although

the emperor hated that the princess got pregnant so quickly, he still had to do his best to save face. He immediately asked the queen to give the gift.
