Her pulse condition...is she having twins?
After a brief surprise, Ning Yuxi accepted it. Although twins are rare, they do exist. After all, she and Ning Chen are twin brother and sister.
It's not surprising that she has twin genes.
It’s just that twins are difficult to conceive. Even in modern times with advanced technology, the risks of having twins are not small, not to mention in the backward ancient times. She couldn’t help but feel a little worried.
But no matter how worried she was, she had no better solution. She could only pay more attention and move around more often to ensure a smooth delivery.
The next day, when the imperial physician came to take her pulse, she was able to diagnose the twins' pulses, and the imperial physician could naturally do the same.
Doctor Li took the patient's pulse and after a short while, he frowned slightly: "Huh?"
After carefully checking her pulse again, he finally confirmed it. He relaxed his expression and said, "Ms. Ning, you are pregnant with twins!"
She was demoted to a commoner by the emperor, so naturally she lost her status and should not have been called "young master". But now she was pregnant and was still the emperor's woman, so Doctor Li called her "young master".
Ning Yuxi already knew this, but she feigned surprise: "What? Twins? Really?"
Doctor Li stroked his beard and said, "Yes, the pulse shows that it is indeed twins. Twins are difficult to conceive, but my lady, rest assured. I will do my best to protect your pregnancy."
Ning Yuxi nodded: "Thank you very much, Doctor Li."
Since Imperial Physician Li diagnosed twins, he naturally had to report this to the Emperor.
In Qinghe Garden, Gu Qilan was reviewing memorials in the palace when he saw Song Qu bow and enter, "Your Majesty."
Gu Qilan didn't even raise his head: "What's the matter?"
Song Qu reported: "Your Majesty, the Imperial Physician Li from the palace has sent news that Ning from Shuqing Palace is pregnant with twins."
Gu Qilan was slightly startled and raised his head: "Really?"
"It's absolutely true. Doctor Li has confirmed it time and again."
Gu Qilan frowned and thought for a moment: "In that case, tell someone to serve well, and send someone to keep an eye on it to make sure no one bumps into it."
Song Qu naturally understood what the emperor meant. Ning had been deposed and under house arrest. It would be easy for anyone to harm her. The emperor asked him to send someone to keep an eye on Shuqing Palace to prevent anyone from harming her.
I have to say that the Ning family is really lucky, Song Qu thought casually in his heart.
…
At the end of June, the army returned, and with them came envoys from Western Chu and a princess who was to be married off to the foreign invaders.
Qinghe Garden, Qingyan Pavilion.
The emperor was sitting behind his desk handling government affairs. In the hall, Duke Yu Wei Lin, dressed in armor, was standing with his hands clasped in front of his chest.
"Your Majesty, General Ning has made considerable contributions in this campaign. I originally thought that a young man who hadn't even come of age would be unreliable and unsure of how to lead troops in battle. I didn't expect him to be so steady and capable of leading troops."
Gu Qilan raised his head slightly: "Oh? I rarely hear the Duke of Yu praise others?"
Duke Yu had been a soldier all his life and was quite talented in command, so he was naturally very picky about this aspect. Among his four sons who died in the battlefield, the only one he liked was his eldest son.
Now he is praising an unknown young man.
Gu Qilan agreed to let Ning Chen go on the expedition because he saw that he was able to capture the famous General Liefeng of Wuhuan alive. Although he himself was seriously injured, it must be said that he was capable, otherwise he would not have agreed to let him go on the expedition to Western Chu.
Duke Yu smiled and said, "Your Majesty knows me well. There aren't many people I like. This Ning family kid is a promising talent."
Gu Qilan buried his head in the memorial again: "His ancestors did have famous generals, but they gradually declined. His father Ning Yi was not very talented, but he inherited his ancestors' style."
Duke Yu also sighed.
Gu Qilan suddenly asked, "I heard that the Western Chu envoys brought their princess with them this time?"
Duke Yu: "That's right. Besides seeking peace, Western Chu also wants a marriage alliance with Great Jin."
"How will the Emperor decide?"
Gu Qilan picked up his brush and dipped it in ink. "There's no rush for the marriage. Let's see how Xi Chu asks for peace at tomorrow's banquet. It won't be too late to discuss the marriage then."
Duke Yu responded, "Your Majesty is right."
On the second day, the emperor received the envoys from Western Chu in Qinghe Garden.
The minister sent by Western Chu this time was a civil official. At the banquet, the two countries decided on the peace agreement while chatting and laughing.
It was mainly decided by the Jin Dynasty that the envoys of Western Chu were speechless after being told by the civil officials of the Jin Dynasty. However, they still negotiated for a while. Western Chu had to cede three cities as compensation, and also pay tribute of 500,000 taels of silver and various Western Chu specialties to the Jin Dynasty every year.
Western Chu is rich in spices, and there are countless kinds of precious spices. Now the merchants of Dajin no longer have to go to Western Chu to buy spices.
As the banquet drew to a close, the Western Chu envoy, who had been left speechless and sweating, suddenly spoke up: "Your Majesty, we from Western Chu have sent our distinguished princess here.
I hope to be able to have an eternal friendship with Da Jin. If Da Jin agrees, the conditions I just mentioned will be met."
The hall fell silent for a moment. The princess' marriage was not difficult. It was just adding another person to the emperor's harem. Gu Qilan also thought so. As long as the other party agreed to the conditions just now, there would be no problem with the princess' marriage.
But the Western Chu minister said, "Our princess's marriage partner is General Ning, who is in charge of one of the battles in your Great Jin."
There was another silence, and then everyone started talking among themselves.
This Princess of Western Chu came to marry the emperor, but instead wanted to marry a minister with no background?
As a meritorious person in this battle, Ning Chen was naturally the focus of everyone's attention at the banquet.
