Xia He bowed her head in agreement, and did not inquire further about the news. Instead, she stood respectfully beside her master to serve him.
Chen Yuwei is six months pregnant, and the imperial physician has diagnosed that the baby is a prince.
It's also because the Yuanmingyuan Garden has been receiving a lot of attention lately, which has reduced the pressure on Chen Yuwei. Otherwise, the Wuling Spring Scene would definitely be bustling with activity.
With a soft cushion behind her, Chen Yuwei relaxed her waist, shoulders, and neck, while closing her eyes and trying to communicate with the system.
Unfortunately, as her biggest advantage, Chen Yuwei sometimes had no choice but to rely on the system.
Moreover, the system is powerful enough that, at least for now, Chen Yuwei has not revealed too much to Hongli over the years.
The system was also watching the show from the sidelines. As an artificial intelligence, its dry, mechanical voice sounded unsettling to Chen Yuwei.
Chen Yuwei was concerned about the situation at Jingren Palace, so the system simply displayed images of Jingren Palace through a light screen.
"There's really no movement from the Jingren Palace," so how can there be any gossip before anything's even been produced?
"Yes, and according to the imperial physicians' predictions, if she gives birth tonight, everything will go smoothly," the system rattled off the conversation between the imperial physicians and the Empress Dowager to Chen Yuwei. "It's still early in the game."
Chen Yuwei: ...
Chen Yuwei was speechless. It was indeed still early. At this rate, they might have to send a message to the Old Summer Palace at night to deliver the good news.
However, I was already asleep at that time, so I'll listen to it tomorrow morning.
After finishing her conversation with the system, Chen Yuwei turned to her own business.
However, given Chen Yuwei's current state, she can't do much. Xia He does most of the work, and Chen Yuwei only occasionally gives a few instructions.
The next morning, after washing up, Chen Yuwei ate breakfast while inquiring about news from Jingren Palace.
Xia He helped set the table, "Your Highness, Consort Jin and Noble Lady Yi of Jingren Palace have both given birth."
Consort Jin gave birth to a baby princess, but her own body was severely damaged and she was still in critical condition.
Consort Yi gave birth to a baby prince, but the prince is frail, and the imperial physicians are doing their best to treat him.
In just a few words, Xia He summarized everything that had happened yesterday.
Chen Yuwei ate the food in her bowl and drank a few sips of soup to adjust her taste. "In that case, wouldn't the Empress Dowager have worked for nothing?"
Goodness, there were three pregnant women in total, one of whom miscarried midway through pregnancy, and the remaining two were carefully cared for, but the results were not ideal.
Tsk tsk tsk
Has the Empress Dowager been having a run of bad luck lately? Why does she keep running into these kinds of things?
Xia He nodded and muttered softly, "I heard that Her Majesty the Empress Dowager is busy dealing with palace affairs and is planning not to come to the Yuanmingyuan for the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet."
Chen Yuwei shook her head, "That won't do, the Empress Dowager will definitely be coming."
At the very least, Hongli would not agree to the Empress Dowager not coming; that would be a slap in his face.
As everyone knows, Hongli values his reputation above all else; no one can embarrass him, not even his own mother.
Speaking of the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, Chen Yuwei put down her spoon and chuckled briefly, "If the Empress Dowager comes and happens to be there when the Emperor announces good news, it will certainly be quite a scene."
It's like when your own family is already in dire straits, but then you turn around and see your enemy getting even happier.
Putting everything else aside, this is definitely entertaining, at least it will make the Empress Dowager extremely upset.
Chen Yuwei gestured for Xia He to bring her another bowl of soup. She rested her chin on her hand, her brows relaxed, like a cloud floating in the sky, unfathomable and unclear, as if veiled.
The bowl of soup that had already been filled with soup was replaced with the one that Chen Yuwei had finished drinking.
Chen Yuwei lowered her head and continued to fill her stomach, secretly looking forward to the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet.
However, before that, Chen Yuwei still took the time to find an opportunity to learn about the situation in the palace from the system.
Just like Consort Jin and Noble Lady Yi of Jingren Palace, why did they have premature births, and what happened on the night of their delivery?
Xia He only mentioned the result, and Chen Yuwei is now more curious about the whole process.
The system fulfilled Chen Yuwei's wish and recounted the events at Jingren Palace from beginning to end.
In short, the premature births of Consort Jin and Noble Lady Yi were the result of discussions between the Empress Dowager and them.
The reason is simple: the imperial heirs in the wombs of Consort Jin and Noble Lady Yi are developing too well, and if this continues, it is very likely that they will end up with nothing.
The Empress Dowager gave Consort Jin and Noble Lady Yi a lot of tonics in the first place, hoping that their children would be healthy and strong. It would be better if they overdid it and couldn't give birth.
Then, after a bowl of labor-inducing medicine was administered, Consort Jin and Noble Lady Yi both gave birth prematurely as they had wished.
Premature births are difficult, and besides, Consort Jin and Noble Lady Yi's bodies simply couldn't withstand the pressure of childbirth, so unsurprisingly, both of them had difficult births.
Later, for the sake of the imperial heir's safety, the Empress Dowager could only order the imperial physicians to do their best to save the child.
Consort Jin's child was a prince, so she had to sacrifice herself to ensure the child's survival. As a result, the child was born successfully, which caused Consort Jin to suffer severe bleeding.
Not only that, the prince, on whom so much hope was placed, was born to be a princess, which was a huge loss.
Because everyone here calls her a princess, Consort Yi secretly asked the imperial physician to protect her. Who knew that she survived, but her child was left barely alive.
That's not all. The most ridiculous thing is that the princess born to Consort Yi became a prince.
Chen Yuwei: ...It's truly a wonderful story full of ups and downs.
"The Empress Dowager is probably furious. Do you think those imperial physicians who examined Consort Jin and Noble Lady Yi can escape?"
One mistake is bad enough, but then all of them are wrong, including misdiagnosing the gender.
If she were the Empress Dowager, whether intentionally or unintentionally, she would definitely kick all these people out of the Imperial Hospital and replace them with new people.
Chen Yuwei's ideas coincided with those of the Empress Dowager. After dealing with the Jingren Palace matter, the Empress Dowager turned around and kicked those useless imperial physicians out of the game.
