Chapter 1902 Pregnancy (March Monthly Ticket Plus 1)
When Manbao heard his laughter and saw his smiling face, he snorted angrily and turned away, ignoring him.
Bai Shan chuckled and was about to say something when two eunuchs ran up to him.
Bai Erlang on the side had stopped talking for a long time. He stood there with his lips pursed and looked very unhappy, as if he had eaten two pounds of vinegar.
Two eunuchs came up breathlessly, bowed, and said, "Doctor Zhou, His Majesty wants you to go to the East Palace."
Manbao was startled and asked, "Did Your Majesty kick the Crown Prince and make him sick?"
"...No," the eunuch said, "I want to go see the concubines of the Eastern Palace."
Manbao was startled again, "Did something happen to the Crown Princess?"
"...Not really," the eunuch hesitated for a moment and said vaguely, "You'll know if you go and take a look. It's the two Fengyi..."
Bai Shan couldn't help but turn his eyes slightly. Could Fengyi ask a sixth-rank imperial physician to see him when he was sick?
Although Manbao accepts everyone who comes, he still needs people to come to him. In this way, he is ordered by His Majesty to let Manbao go to treat Fengyi...
Bai Shan said to Man Bao, "Come on, we'll go to the East Palace with you."
Bai Shan had thought of it, and Man Bao naturally had thought of it too. He nodded, turned around and went to the East Palace with the two eunuchs.
Manbao got along well with most of the servants in the palace, so he quickly got some information from the two eunuchs.
It was said that just as the Crown Prince knelt down in the ancestral hall, the Crown Princess immediately sent someone to the Taiji Hall to report that two of the palace's attendants were unwell and seemed to be pregnant, but she was not sure.
Because all the good doctors in the Imperial Medical Bureau had asked the emperor to go and see Prince Gong's legs, she sent someone to ask the empress for instructions.
Not to mention the queen, even the emperor knew her little thoughts.
He was simply afraid that the prince would be severely punished by him, but the emperor no longer wanted to care about it at this time. He just wanted to know whether the two Fengyi in the East Palace were really pregnant.
The prince now has only one son, which is still a little too few.
Although illegitimate children are far inferior to legitimate children, they are still blood relatives, right?
So the emperor transferred Imperial Physician Liu and Imperial Physician Lu from Taiji Hall to the Eastern Palace, and at the same time sent someone to find Zhou Man.
After all, she is a female relative, so Zhou Man is more convenient than Doctor Liu and Doctor Lu.
When Manbao arrived at the Eastern Palace, Imperial Physician Liu and Imperial Physician Lu had also arrived. They took turns taking the pulses of the two Fengyis, asked some questions, and then gave their seats to Manbao.
Manbao asked carefully, felt the patient's pulse, and then stood with Imperial Physician Liu and Imperial Physician Lu. Without any discussion, the three of them assured the Crown Princess and Gu Zhong, who was waiting outside, "She is pregnant. Cao Fengyi is probably three months pregnant, and Jiang Fengyi is a little younger, but also two months."
Gu Zhong was overjoyed and congratulated the Crown Princess repeatedly.
The Crown Princess was also beaming with joy, happily rewarding the imperial doctors and the entire Eastern Palace. In fact, she had already known about it, but had been hiding it until she had settled down.
We were supposed to wait another month, but who made the prince make the mistake?
I don’t know what kind of scolding my father gave me.
The Crown Princess started planning to expose this matter after the Crown Prince and his companions entered the palace, so she didn't know that the Crown Prince was not only scolded, but also kicked twice by the Emperor, and is now kneeling in the ancestral hall.
The Crown Princess clutched a handkerchief and said to Gu Zhong worriedly, "With Your Highness gone, the Eastern Palace has suddenly lost its backbone. The attendants are restless, and I don't know if this will have any impact on the offspring..."
When Gu Zhong heard this, no matter what he thought in his heart, he showed the same worry as the Crown Princess on his face, and then said that he would report it to the Emperor.
The Crown Princess gratefully ordered Gu Zhong to be sent away, and also sent Doctor Liu, who was flirting with Manbao, away. Naturally, Doctor Lu would not be kept either.
When only the people from the Eastern Palace were left in the room, the Crown Princess asked Man Bao, "What exactly happened? I only vaguely heard that the Crown Prince broke Prince Gong's leg?"
Manbao: "...Who spread this rumor?"
The Crown Princess said worriedly, "Who spread the news? It's all over the place. Send someone to inquire in the Imperial City. There are even reports that the Crown Prince beat Prince Gong to the point of paralysis. Luckily, it's a holiday now, and there are only guards at the six ministries. Otherwise, who knows how much the story would spread."
Manbao and the other two were stunned.
The Crown Princess asked, "So, was it the Crown Prince who beat Prince Gong?"
The three of them shook their heads, but also nodded together.
The Crown Princess asked, "Is this true or not?"
Manbao cleared his throat and said, "The Crown Prince did have a sparring match with Prince Gong, but Prince Gong's leg was not broken by the Crown Prince. It was just slightly related to the Crown Prince."
Manbao glanced at the two worried pregnant women standing beside him, and then tactfully told them what had happened.
When she heard that the prince had only been kicked twice and was punished to kneel in the ancestral hall, the princess suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good, I was so worried."
The two Fengyi also breathed a sigh of relief.
Although after Bai Shan and Man Bao's explanation, kneeling in the ancestral hall did not seem to be a severe punishment, Bai Erlang still found it a little hard to accept. Because looking at the grievances between the Crown Prince and Prince Gong, it was obvious that the Crown Prince was right. This time it was obviously Prince Gong who broke his leg by kicking himself, so why did they all look relieved?
The Crown Princess, however, looked relaxed as she spoke to the two Fengyis, "The Crown Prince is fine. You can rest assured and take care of your pregnancy. Especially Jiang Fengyi, you have a short life ahead of you, so please stay out of the house for the next few days. I will promote you to Chenghui. When you give birth to the child, if it's a boy, you will be promoted to Liangdi, and if it's a girl, you will be promoted to Liangyuan."
The two were overjoyed when they heard this, and they both knelt down and replied "yes".
The Crown Princess did not let them kneel for long and had someone help them down to rest.
Fengyi is the lowest-ranking official around the prince, similar to the concubines around the young masters of aristocratic families. Now that they have been promoted to Chenghui, they have jumped two levels.
The Liu who lost her child two years ago was Chenghui, the prince's concubine. As soon as she became pregnant, she was taken in by the crown princess and taken care of carefully. She was originally going to be promoted to Liangdi, but it was temporarily suppressed to protect herself and the child.
But everyone in the Eastern Palace knew that the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess had made a promise to Liu that as long as she gave birth to the child safely, regardless of gender, the Eastern Palace would ask for her to be the Crown Prince's concubine, second only to the Crown Princess. Once the Crown Prince ascended the throne, the concubine could be directly promoted to Imperial Concubine.
At that time, countless people in the Eastern Palace envied her. They never expected that they could now become Chenghui with the help of the child in their belly, and might even become Liangdi and Liangyuan.
As soon as everyone left, the Crown Princess took Manbao's hand and said, "Although the Eastern Palace now has eagle slaves, the offspring are still too few. In the future, I would like you to come and see them more often and ensure that they can give birth to children safely."
Manbao nodded and asked, "The people who serve them..."
"I've asked people to make arrangements. They all have experience," the Crown Princess said with a smile, "You can also help me go through it when the time comes. Just don't let me get fooled."
The Crown Princess's eyes sparkled. Once there were a few more children in the Eastern Palace, she would see who would dare to say that the Crown Prince couldn't have children!
