Chapter 104 The Crown Princess is Pregnant
After lunch, Lin Fujia said goodbye and returned to Yaohua Palace.
Wen Li'er then took out the letter brought by the prince from her sleeve and quickly tore open the seal.
She had wanted to see it before, but she thought that she could contact her family but Lin Daiyu couldn't, and was worried that she would be sad when she saw it, so she held back and didn't take it out.
Wen Li'er read the letter quickly, the joy in her eyes almost overflowing.
My brother did well in the exam.
As a top-ranked scholar, he is fully qualified to take part in the palace examination.
As long as he doesn't perform poorly in the palace examination, he is almost certain to become a second-class Jinshi.
Wen Li'er happily turned around several times, and then shouted to Qin Ma to prepare the incense burner, so that she could respectfully burn a stick of incense for the Buddha.
Nanny Qin and others were also happy for her.
Although Minister Wen was also a fourth-rank official, it could only be considered a rank that was neither high nor low.
And there is almost no family foundation.
If the Wen family could have another young person serving as an official in the court, it would be a good thing for the master.
Everyone in Qionghua Palace was very happy throughout the whole day.
When going to sleep at night, Wen Li'er was still rolling around in bed, too excited to sleep.
She clearly remembered that her brother's wish was to become a good official like their father who spoke up for the people.
Now, my brother is about to take the first step.
Wen Li'er slept too late at night, feeling extremely happy and then extremely sad...
The next day, when she woke up, she felt the sun was inexplicably dazzling.
Wen Li'er rubbed her eyes and looked at the sky outside.
The next moment, she jumped up and sat up on the bed.
"Qin...Madam Qin, green bamboo and green plum..."
Wen Li'er shouted while putting on her clothes, feeling extremely anxious.
What's going on?
I actually slept until noon?
It’s all over, it’s all over. I guess I have to kneel in Fuyao Palace for the whole day.
Qingzhu Qingmei brought in some water from outside and was about to speak when Wen Li'er took the lead.
"Qingzhu, where are those extra thick knee pads from before? I remember you put them away. Where did you put them?"
As she spoke, she had already walked to the cabinet.
Having followed their master for so long, Qingzhu and Qingmei probably already understand their master's temperament.
What else can I do with knee pads?
He is going to Fuyao Palace to be punished.
Qingmei burst out laughing.
She smiled and said, "Master, you don't need to go to Fuyao Palace to pay your respects today. No, you shouldn't have to go to Fuyao Palace to pay your respects for the next year."
When Wen Li'er heard this, she stopped her hand that was about to open the cabinet door and looked a little confused.
"Are you serious? Why?"
Qingzhu explained, "This morning, just as we were about to wake the master, Luoxia from Fuyao Palace came over and said that the Crown Princess was pregnant and that she should take good care of the baby. She was exempted from paying respects for the next year."
Wen Li'er's eyes lit up instantly when she heard that, and she asked in surprise, "Really?"
Qingmei and Qingzhu nodded at the same time: "Really."
Ahhhhhh... This is really a happy thing.
Wen Li'er screamed like a groundhog in her heart.
You don’t have to pay your respects to me for the next year.
The most important point is that the Crown Princess has her own child, so no matter what, she will never have any ideas about taking advantage of her, right?
Also, now that His Highness has a legitimate son, his position in the court will be more stable.
Soon, the news that the Crown Princess was pregnant spread throughout the palace.
The Queen Mother and the Empress came to the East Palace in person as soon as possible. The palace maids and eunuchs followed them in a long queue, each holding rare treasures and nourishing delicacies in their hands.
Princess Taiping also entered the palace upon hearing the news.
Also, many doctors from the Imperial Hospital were called over...
The bustling crowd almost surrounded the Fuyao Palace.
This scene is completely different from the scene when Wen Li'er was pregnant.
This is the difference between a mistress and a concubine.
The Queen Mother smiled happily, and the wrinkles on her face were much smoother.
The queen's usually cold face also showed some tension, and she gave Xie Zhenrong many instructions.
Yan Shishu and Xie Zhenrong looked at each other, both of them feeling a sense of fear.
If they had insisted on taking Wen Li'er's child with them, the title of the eldest son of the Eastern Palace would have belonged to someone else.
Xie Zhenrong touched her belly, tears in her eyes due to excitement.
Until now, she felt as if she was still dreaming.
After four and a half years, she no longer dared to hold out hope.
She thought...she thought that she would never be able to have her own child in this lifetime.
Fortunately, God still has mercy on her.
Yan Shishu naturally knew what her friend had been worried about all these years, and seeing Xie Zhenrong's appearance at this moment, she couldn't help but feel distressed.
She turned to look at the Queen Mother and the Empress and said, "Grandmother, Mother, Zhen Rong is pregnant. The wife of the Duke of Rong must be extremely happy. How about inviting her to the palace to accompany Zhen Rong?"
The Queen Mother smiled and said, "Shu'er is indeed very thoughtful. We should invite the Duke's wife to the palace to accompany the Crown Princess. It wouldn't be a bad idea to stay for a few days."
As she spoke, the Queen Mother looked at the Queen.
The Queen nodded and said, "I will send someone to invite him right away."
Xie Zhenrong was a little touched and quickly expressed her gratitude.
"Thank you, Grandmother, and Queen Mother."
"What's there to thank me for? If you want to see your mother in the future, just send someone to invite her anytime."
Xie Zhenrong nodded heavily.
Not long after, the prince also arrived.
When Yan Shixu learned that the Crown Princess was pregnant, he also breathed a sigh of relief.
He came over and said a few words of concern to her, and told her to take good care of the baby and put other things aside for the time being.
Xie Zhenrong also thought so. This hard-earned child was very important to her.
Everything else can be put aside for now.
The most important thing is that the concubines cannot be allowed to get close to her.
She will definitely take good care of the fetus and give birth to the child safely.
After everyone left, Xie Zhenrong stroked her belly, feeling a little regretful.
"It would be great if the imperial physician could tell the gender of the baby. Unfortunately, the baby is still too young."
Matron Zhuang smiled and said, "Crown Princess, you don't have to worry about whether the child is a son or a daughter. Since you're pregnant, it means your body is already well. Even if the first one is a daughter... you can just give birth to a son."
Xie Zhenrong nodded: "Nurse, what you said makes sense. Even if I give birth to a daughter, her status is far superior to that of a concubine's son. And maybe I'm pregnant with a son."
Matron Zhuang agreed, "Yes, I asked the imperial physician, and he said that the pulse on your left hand is stronger, so it might be a son."
Xie Zhenrong was instantly happy and ate an extra bowl of rice at lunch.
