When it comes to conceiving a child, Wei Hanzhang is incredibly sensible.

There were many things I was forbidden to eat during the early stages of pregnancy, but I didn’t complain at all.

The weather was getting hotter, but because of her pregnancy, she couldn't even go to the summer palace.

I can’t drink cold drinks, I can’t indulge in coldness, and I can’t stay up late as I used to.

She was not even allowed to touch the cosmetics that girls liked to play with.

Although she is naturally beautiful and rarely dresses up, having a plain face every day is not a happy thing for a girl who loves beauty.

But she accepted all of this very naturally.

She was so well behaved that Xiao Junzhan, who already loved her so much that it was not enough, felt his heart melt.

Except for attending court, he kept her under his eyes most of the time and would accompany her to relieve her boredom after finishing his work.

As a man who is already His Majesty the Emperor, his favorite thing is to play the piano for her and the baby in her belly.

Even though the belly is not yet visible.

It was not until the third month of pregnancy, when the fetus was firmly established, that the news of the Queen's pregnancy was announced.

The news was kept secret. Not only did Jiang, the grandmother, not know about it in advance, but even the paralyzed emperor did not leak it.

Such good news was naturally celebrated by everyone. Jiang handed in a sign to the palace that day, and the mother and daughter exchanged many heartfelt words.

Jiang was overjoyed to be a grandmother soon and wished she could pass on all her experience of raising three children to her daughter.

There is no shortage of old maids in the palace, and Wei Hanzhang is certainly not short of capable people around her. Even so, when she saw her mother, she was still very dependent on her and kept Jiang in the palace for more than a month.

The person will be released from the palace only after the fetus is completely stable.

Midsummer has passed and we have entered early autumn.

Use your palm to measure whether the fetus has grown.

As she became more pregnant, a hint of sadness always flashed across his face.

The gynecological expert Imperial Physician Liu became a frequent visitor to Changji Palace.

That day, the old imperial physician closed his eyes and carefully felt the pulse for a long time, stroking his beard and saying, "The queen is in good health, and the prince's pulse in her belly is strong and powerful. Everything is fine."

Xiao Junzhan only heard that everything was fine, and his tense heart slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

Wei Hanzhang grasped the key point. She blinked and said, "Prince?"

The wording used by these imperial doctors was very strict. Previously when they took the pulse, they always said it was the royal heir or the fetus, but this time they insisted that it was a prince.

Hearing this, Imperial Physician Liu nodded slowly and confirmed: "There is no doubt that the queen is pregnant with a prince."

If being nearly five months pregnant was not enough for him to determine the gender of the baby, then he might as well not be a gynecologist.

Xiao Junzhan also reacted. He held her little hand and could hardly suppress his smile.

When all the strangers in the palace were cleared, Wei Hanzhang couldn't help but tease him, "Are you biased towards boys over girls? You are so happy to hear that it's a prince."

Xiao Junzhan was slightly stunned by the question, "Don't talk nonsense, Princess, I like you too."

"It's just that you are going to give birth to a child to inherit the throne, so I don't want you to go through the pain of childbirth again," he stroked her belly and said lovingly, "If it's a daughter, she will have to suffer a lot to ascend the throne as a princess, and you will feel bad."

Speaking of which, the Da Ling Dynasty had two female emperors. Although their reigns were not long, they raised the status of women to a level much higher than that of the previous dynasties.
