Chapter 31 The Delicate Palace Maid VS the Cold-blooded Emperor 31
"Am I... asleep?" Su Zhiruan could feel that she was very sleepy recently, but she didn't expect that she could fall asleep in the imperial study during the day.
"Be good, let the doctor take a look." Shen Qi turned to look at the doctor and seemed to smile, but the doctor shuddered and lowered his head. Shen Qi continued, "Empress Yue has been sleepy recently. If I can't cure her, I will punish you for what happened just now."
Su Zhiruan did want to find a doctor. In fact, she had a vague guess in her heart. She subconsciously looked at her belly. She had not had her period this month, and coupled with this symptom, she might...
The imperial physician tremblingly took out a handkerchief and covered Su Zhiruan's wrist, then began to take his pulse.
When he took Su Zhiruan's pulse, the expression on his face gradually changed from fear to surprise.
"Congratulations to His Majesty! Congratulations to the Imperial Concubine! The Imperial Concubine is pregnant! Your medical skills are poor, but I can tell one thing! The Imperial Concubine might be pregnant with twins!"
Xiao Fuzi was also overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately knelt down to salute, "Congratulations, Your Majesty! Congratulations, Your Majesty!"
really.
Su Zhiruan confirmed her guess. She looked at Shen Qi, but saw that Shen Qi was stunned at this time.
"Your Majesty?" Su Zhiruan waved her hand in front of him with a smile, and then was grabbed by Shen Qi.
"Pregnant?! A child!" Shen Qi seemed to have just reacted, with an ecstatic look on his face, "Hahahahahahahahaha, that's great, Ruan Ruan, we have a child again!"
"Go tell mother." Shen Qi ordered while hugging Su Zhiruan and cheering, "Ruan Ruan! You are really a lucky star. I am so happy. From now on, I will treat you well!"
"Okay, okay, Your Majesty! The baby in my belly is not fainting, but I am about to faint!" Su Zhiruan fell softly on Shen Qi, and Shen Qi immediately asked her to sit down nervously.
Shen Qi sat beside her with a happy look on his face. He would glance at her secretly every once in a while, secretly wondering if there would be a cute little princess who looked just like her this time.
If that were the case, he would definitely make the little princess the most beloved one in the entire dynasty, a little princess who would grow up in luxury!
When the Queen Mother, who was playing with her child in the Cining Palace, heard the good news, she was so happy that she almost fainted, "What did you say?! You mean! Ruan Ruan has another child?"
"Yes, Your Majesty, the imperial physician said that the baby has been pregnant for more than a month, and it might be twins!" Xiao Fuzi told everything she knew.
"What a great joy! What a great joy! I have long said that Ruan Ruan is the daughter of destiny of the entire dynasty, and the lucky star of our dynasty! Quick, I want to go to the imperial study. The emperor and Ruan Ruan are here now!"
"Everything is all right, Empress Dowager, please slow down!" Xiao Fuzi hurriedly supported the Empress Dowager.
Little Shen Xingzhi blinked and looked around curiously.
Although he is only a few months old, his personality and temperament are somewhat similar to Shen Qi. He doesn't like to cry or move around. He blinks his big eyes every day and observes the things around him.
The Queen Mother hurried to the imperial study and saw Shen Qi and Su Zhiruan hugging each other. It was obvious that they were both very happy.
"Ruan Ruan! How do you feel now?" The Queen Mother coughed lightly, and the two separated immediately. She sat opposite Su Zhi Ruan and Shen Qi, looked at Su Zhi Ruan, and asked kindly, "My mother thought about it along the way and decided to move to Kunning Palace to take care of you."
"Mother, I have a nanny and palace maids. How can I ask you to take care of me personally? It's already very troublesome for you to let Xingzhi take care of me." Su Zhiruan didn't expect that the empress dowager actually planned to take care of her personally. After she finished speaking, she looked at Shen Qi again.
The Queen Mother was a little disappointed, but she also knew that if she moved there, the noise in the palace or the court would surely become noisy again. Besides, there was little Shen Xingzhi who needed to be taken care of, and she was indispensable for that.
Finally, the Queen Mother reminded her of a series of things that needed her attention, and Su Zhiruan kept them all in mind.
After the Queen Mother left, Shen Qi sat with her and the two began to chat. Su Zhiruan recalled, "This child seems to have been born on the day the Emperor was drugged. If it's been a month, then it must have been the time in Tangquan Palace."
"I didn't expect that the medicine would help us have another child." Shen Qi was also very emotional.
The two of them chatted for a long time.
* The news that Su Zhiruan was pregnant again, and most likely with twins, spread throughout the dynasty like snowflakes. The court was worried about Shen Qi's offspring problem and wrote various petitions to the emperor.
Now, after receiving this news, all those who had objections at the beginning have basically disappeared, and no one talks about Shen Qi's offspring issue anymore. If twins are born successfully this time, there will be three royal heirs.
Shen Qi issued an imperial decree to confer the title of Imperial Noble Consort on Su Zhiruan.
He originally wanted to make her the queen in one go, but the queen mother persuaded him to wait until the child was born before holding the enthronement ceremony.
The ceremony of enthroning the queen was too complicated, and as a pregnant woman, she would certainly be tired after being busy all day, so Shen Qi first made her the imperial concubine.
After Su Zhiruan became the Imperial Noble Consort, the concubines in the harem stopped moving around, and some even stayed indoors, saying that they were meditating.

Both the Queen Mother and Shen Qi attached great importance to the twins.
Shen Qi secretly prayed every day for a little princess. Once in his sleep, Su Zhiruan even heard him muttering "Would it be nice to have a little princess?" She couldn't help laughing in the middle of the night, and finally woke Shen Qi up with her laughter.
The Queen Mother thought it was all good. No matter if they were princes or princesses, they would all be of royal blood in the future. Just thinking about several little children together would make her feel that the scene was very warm and happy.
Time passed quickly. After the little prince Shen Xingzhi learned to walk and called "Father, Mother" in a baby voice, Su Zhiruan was about to give birth.
The palace prepared a one-year-old ceremony for the prince. Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the little prince lived up to expectations and crawled over to grab the jade seal.
"Why did the emperor put the jade seal in there?!" Su Zhiruan didn't know until she saw it, and she was shocked. Little Shen Xingzhi's hand was pressing tightly on the top of the jade seal, and he didn't let go for a moment!
"Ruan Ruan, it seems Xing Zhi has made a choice," Shen Qi helped Su Zhi Ruan hold her belly to make her feel more relaxed. He looked at little Shen Xing Zhi with approval, and smiled at Su Zhi Ruan, "It seems that our good son will follow in his father's footsteps in the future!"
"This child looks more and more like the emperor. They are exactly the same. When the late emperor was alive, the emperor used a seal to mark his first birthday," the empress dowager continued with a hint of nostalgia, "but the late emperor had too many children at that time. When he saw Qi'er just grabbing a seal, he looked a little unhappy and left."
Shen Qi seemed to have thought of something, and his eyes darkened.
He looked at the little Shen Xingzhi who was holding the imperial seal.
He will not let his children experience the pain he suffered.
