Chapter 1439 Happy
Even though they already knew it, when the imperial physician announced it again, the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess couldn't help but clench their hands in joy.
The prince coughed lightly and asked as usual, "How long has it been?"
The imperial physician then asked the Crown Princess in detail about the date of her last menstrual period and the time of her sexual intercourse. Of course, the person who answered was the Crown Princess's attendant.
He calculated the time in his mind and after considering the pulse, he said, "About a month or so."
The prince nodded slightly, which was similar to Zhou Man’s estimation. So, Zhou Man’s pulse diagnosis skills are now better than those of the imperial physician?
The thought flashed through her mind, and the head maid beside the Crown Princess had already said to the imperial physician: "The Crown Princess has a short time left, it is best not to publicize it before three months."
This was a customary practice, and the imperial physician understood it and quickly agreed.
Then he glanced at the prince secretly. He really wanted to take the prince's pulse, but the prince's authority was there, so he didn't have the courage to ask. So he took the medicine box and said goodbye and left.
Before leaving, he gave Zhou Man a complicated look.
After leaving the Eastern Palace, he did not return to the Imperial Hospital immediately, but went to the Taiji Hall to ask to see the emperor.
Three months ago, it could not be told to anyone, but it was obvious that the emperor was not included in the "outside" category, especially since the prince's offspring involved the entire world and the court.
Gu Zhong left the imperial study and came back in a short while later. He reported to the emperor in a low voice, "Your Majesty, Imperial Physician Zhang from the Imperial Hospital is here."
The emperor, without even looking up, asked as he reviewed the memorials, "What is he doing here?"
Gu Zhong bent down and said, "The Eastern Palace summoned the imperial physician, and then Imperial Physician Zhang came out of the Eastern Palace."
The emperor raised his head, frowned, and asked, "Isn't Zhou Man in the East Palace?"
Gu Zhong whispered, "Doctor Zhou did come to the palace today."
The emperor put down his pen and said, "Call him in."
Doctor Zhang walked in quickly with his head lowered. He knelt on the ground and bowed before saying, "Your Majesty, the Crown Princess is pregnant."
The emperor was so shocked that he stood up from his chair and asked anxiously, "What did you say?"
Doctor Zhang kowtowed again and reiterated, "I have just taken the Crown Princess's pulse and she is over a month pregnant."
The emperor was overjoyed. He turned around a few steps in joy, turned around and laughed and asked Gu Zhong, "Did you hear what he just said?"
Gu Zhong immediately bent down and said with a happy smile, "I heard it clearly. Doctor Zhang said that the Crown Princess is pregnant and has been pregnant for more than a month."
The emperor couldn't help but burst into laughter. After he finished laughing, he felt something was wrong and asked Doctor Zhang who was still kneeling on the ground, "It's been more than a month?"
"Yes," said Doctor Zhang. "I estimate it will be around thirty-four to thirty-one days. I can't give a more specific number yet."
The emperor asked, "Is Zhou Man in the East Palace?"
"Yes, Doctor Zhou is still in the East Palace."
The emperor laughed and scolded, "The prince also knows how to keep his composure."
He thought for a moment and then said, "I know about this matter. Please don't spread it outside. Wait until there is more time."
Doctor Zhang agreed.
The emperor rewarded Doctor Zhang with some things. After he left, the emperor stared at the memorials on the table in a daze, as if he couldn't concentrate on reading them.
The emperor sat for a while, but still couldn't calm down. He simply pushed the table aside and stood up. "Let's go see the queen."
The Queen was playing with her daughters in the Imperial Garden. When she saw the Emperor approaching them with a broad smile on his face, she stood up, glanced at the sun, and frowned slightly. But when the Emperor came up to her, she smiled and asked, "Your Majesty, is there anything you are happy about?"
The emperor closed his mouth and tried to hide his smile, but he moved his face and failed. Instead, his face looked a little strange.
The Queen smiled when she saw it and said, "That seems to be a very good thing indeed. Tell me what it is."
The princesses Mingda and others also looked over curiously.
The emperor waved to them and pulled the queen aside. The palace people stepped away. He then leaned close to her ear and whispered, "The Crown Princess is pregnant..."
The Queen's eyes widened, she grabbed his arm, stared at him and asked, "Really?"
The emperor couldn't help but grin. "Of course it's true. Imperial Physician Zhang just came to see me and said that it's been a month, and now Zhou Man is still in the Eastern Palace. I was wondering, why are they summoning Zhou Man to the palace every day, and the next day he does nothing but play the piano and play chess with the Crown Princess..."
The Queen was also very happy and argued with him unconsciously, "Didn't you say that Dalang was paralyzing outsiders?"
Princess Changyu couldn't help but run over and ask, "Father, Mother, are we still going to pick flowers?"
The emperor was in a particularly good mood, so he asked her with a smile, "What flowers would you like to pick, Changyu?"
"We want to wear a peony flower in our hairpins. I've set my eyes on a flower in the Imperial Grandmother's palace. My mother said she would ask the Imperial Grandmother for it on my behalf."
The Queen smiled and said, "The spring weather has been beautiful these past two days, and the sisters wanted to hold a flower banquet for themselves. If they don't enjoy the peonies now, their blooming season will be over."
The emperor waved his hand and said, "Want flowers for your hairpin? All the flowers in my courtyard are for you. Cut off any one you like."
The princesses cheered and became happy.
The emperor suddenly remembered, "I remember Zhou Man seemed to like flowers and plants as well. Last year, the Crown Princess gave her quite a few gifts."
The Queen heard his subtext and stopped him, saying, "You can reward her later. You can invite her to the children's flower banquet this time."
The Crown Princess is the princesses' sister-in-law, so she will definitely attend. It would be better for Zhou Man to go along to avoid any accidents.
The emperor really wanted to reward someone at this time, but the queen was right. It was not appropriate to make it public at this time, so he could only endure it.
However, when the prince came to pay his respects, the emperor summoned Xiao Yuanzheng and asked him to check the prince's condition.
The prince's face turned dark, but he knew that the emperor was worried about him, so he rolled up his sleeves and handed his hand to Xiao Yuanzheng.
Xiao Yuanzheng hasn't felt the prince's pulse for a long time. He hasn't been able to do so since Manbao returned to Beijing.
He couldn't help but be surprised when he felt the pulse. After a while, he confirmed the pulse and quickly stood up and bowed to congratulate him, "Your Majesty, the prince is well again!"
Although there are still some minor problems.
It is impossible for a person of this age to be completely free of health problems, but the prince's kidneys were previously too weak to allow him to get pregnant, so he is naturally talking about this problem now.
The emperor was happy.
The prince also raised his lip corners and said reservedly: "Zhou Man said that I still need acupuncture for a while to consolidate it."
Xiao Yuanzheng also smiled and said, "This will be of great benefit to Your Highness. The rest is just a matter of slowly recuperating."
The emperor was very happy and remembered the female imperial hospital mentioned by the queen, as well as Zhou Man's letter which seemed a bit whimsical to him.
Since Zhou Man's medical skills are so good, then...
He looked at Xiao Yuanzheng and asked with a smile, "My dear, what do you think of establishing a female imperial hospital under the Imperial Hospital?"
See you at 8pm
