After taking Yinzhen's pulse, the court doctor finally confirmed that Yinzhen was pregnant.
"She's really pregnant," Lin's mother also sighed.
"It's amazing!" Qingchuan exclaimed
Baoer asked the court doctor, "Doctor, since Yinzhen is pregnant, is there anything else I should pay attention to? Could you please tell me more, or write it down on a piece of paper and I'll have someone get it?"
"Mr. Rong'an, please arrange for someone to go with me. I have some specially written manuals on how to maintain pregnancy. In fact, the nanny next to Prince Min is an expert, so you can rest assured."
Bao Er also said, "Okay, thank you, doctor. I'm sorry to bother you. I remember there is a good Ganoderma lucidum in the warehouse. I will have someone send it to you when the time comes."
"Thank you, Uncle Rong An."
When Lin's mother saw that Yinzhen was really pregnant and she couldn't stand the smell of hot pot soup base, she said to Baoer, "I'll ask the kitchen to make something light for Yinzhen. You take him back to his room first."
Baoer didn't object after hearing this, "Then we'll leave first, you guys continue to eat here, don't waste it."
"Okay, let's go. Remember to tell Concubine Yi in the palace tomorrow. Take good care of yourself at home."
"Mother, I know. I will enter the palace tomorrow."
Baoer supported Yinzhen and slowly returned to his yard. "Yinzhen, you should live with me from now on, otherwise I will be worried."
Yin'er's expression brightened. He didn't expect that he would be treated like this. "If my brothers knew about this, would they be unhappy?"
"No, I wouldn't be worried if they got pregnant either."
Baoer held Yin'er's hand and looked at him with emotion. "Yin'er, I think you are the greatest father in the world. Thank you for giving so much for me. You don't know how grateful I am to God for letting me meet you." Baoer's eyes were slightly red as she said this.
I am also grateful to Tiandao for bringing me into this world. I used to think that pregnant mothers were great, but I was still very afraid of giving birth. I didn’t expect that in a different world there would be someone willing to give birth to a child for me.
Yinzhen didn't expect Bao'er to be so emotional just because she was pregnant. He comforted her, "Bao'er, I am willing to have children for you. I am also glad that I married you instead of you marrying me, so you don't have to bear the pain of childbirth for me."
Bao Er was so moved that she hugged Yinzhen and said, "Yinzhen, how can I deserve you to be so kind to me?"
"You're worth it, Boa."
Bao Er seemed to have thought of something and said, "Tomorrow, let your personal eunuch Xiao Douzi and Li Ma Ma come here and let them take care of you personally."
"Say you want to ask for a leave? It's freezing outside. Chinese New Year is almost here in about twenty days. How about I wait until you give birth before I go back to work?"
"Okay," Yinzhen agreed with a smile. He was also afraid that something might happen to the fetus.
Officials in the Qing Dynasty also had maternity leave, but they could only return to work after five months of pregnancy and after the birth of their child. Any work performed by the pregnant husband before the maternity leave was done by other members of the department, and the salary for those months was divided among the department members, with the more work done, the more it earned.
But since Yinzhen is a prince, he should have some privileges, right?
Yinzhen also didn't want his child, whom he had conceived with great difficulty, to have any mishaps because of his mission. "Yes, you should mention your mother about going to the palace tomorrow. She will speak for me. I will then ask Xiao Shi to help me talk to the emperor. I think the emperor would not want his grandchildren to get into trouble."
At this time, Yin'er's nanny Li Ma came and said, "Young Master, the Young Master's meal is here."
Afterwards, Bao'er accompanied Yinzhen to finish the meal and went to bed early.
The next day, after having breakfast with Yinzhen, Baoer packed up and took Orange to the palace to tell Concubine Yi the good news. Concubine Yi was indeed very pleased. Afterwards, Concubine Yi took her to the Empress Dowager's palace to tell her about Yinzhen's pregnancy. The Empress Dowager was also very happy. Finally, Baoer returned home with a cart full of medicinal gifts given by Concubine Yi and the Empress Dowager.
The news spread quickly in the Forbidden City. Within the morning, everyone inside and outside the palace knew that Prince Min was finally pregnant.
The Fourteenth Prince was practicing martial arts with the Thirteenth Prince in the Prince's Residence. The Fourteenth Prince planned to become a general in the future, so he worked very hard in martial arts.
But when he heard that his ninth brother was pregnant, he pursed his lips in anger and said, "Humph, you think everyone can get pregnant. What are you showing off for? When can I grow up and find Sister Baoer?"
Thinking that he couldn't even leave the palace now and no one would take him out, he felt disappointed and started practicing boxing and kicking like crazy.
Yuqing Palace
The prince had just finished his court session and was in his own palace dealing with some unimportant official business when He Zhu quietly came in.
"Master..."
His hesitation caught the prince's attention, "What's the matter?"
He Zhu swallowed his saliva and said cautiously, "There was news from the palace today that Prince Min is pregnant." Then he closed his eyes, fearing that his master would get angry.
"Hmm, hm? What's going on?" The prince had a gloomy face and prayed in his heart that it was not what he thought.
"It's Prince Min who is pregnant. I heard that he felt unwell and wanted to vomit during dinner yesterday. The court doctor examined him and said that she is one month pregnant," said the He Zhugu clan in one breath.
"Pah" the teacup shattered into pieces. At the foot of He Zhu, the prince suddenly felt his eyes go dark, and then returned to normal. He felt chest tightness and shortness of breath again, and suddenly heaved.
"Prince, what's wrong with you? I'll go and call the imperial physician," He Zhu said anxiously.
"Why are you panicking? I'm fine. No need to call the doctor. Just go down."
"yes"
After a while, he was the only one left in the hall again. He smiled bitterly and said sadly
"Bao'er," I haven't seen Bao'er for over a month. She should be doing well now. She has four handsome men by her side, and her master, Jiudi, is pregnant with her child. In nine months, she will have her own child.
I am such a poor thing that I can only pray in my heart that she will think of me occasionally.
The prince knew that it was impossible for him and Baoer to be together. After all, he had a family and he couldn't kill them all or let them remarry. However, he knew those women well. They would not give up their future status as imperial concubines, unless...
The Emperor of the Palace of Heavenly Purity, after the Fourteenth Prince and the Crown Prince, also learned from Li Dequan that he was going to have grandchildren. When he heard Li Dequan say that Concubine Yi had someone send soup, he knew what it was and said, "Tell Concubine Yi that I will be there in the evening."
The Chinese New Year is coming in a few days, and Yin'er's pregnancy will soon be two months old. We will then know whether it is a boy or a girl.
Several men in the family who needed to go to work had also gone home on vacation, so except for Yin'er, the pregnant husband, everyone in the family was busy preparing New Year's goods, gifts, etc.
So except for Baoer who occasionally has time to accompany Yin'er, the pregnant husband, everyone is busy every day.
During the New Year this year, Concubine Yi announced that Yinzhen was pregnant, so the Emperor originally wanted to invite Baoer, his wife and husband to the palace for the New Year banquet. However, Concubine Yi postponed the banquet on the pretext that her son's fetus was unstable.
Bao Er was very grateful to Concubine Yi for this. After all, a palace banquet would be very tedious no matter what, with constant kneeling and kneeling. It would take several hours to complete, and with the freezing weather, Yinzhen couldn't stand it.
So it was agreed that Baoer would accompany the two princes back to her parents' home on the fifth day of the first lunar month.
