"Madam, what's wrong?" Zi Xun asked when she saw that Mingyu had suddenly felt nauseous as soon as she woke up in the morning and almost vomited up the food she had just eaten.
"I don't know what's wrong with me lately, I don't seem to have any appetite!" Mingyu said, clutching her chest. "Zixun, go and call the doctor from the manor over so I can take a look at him."
"Yes," Zi Xun replied quickly.
With the First Lady unwell, the physicians in the household naturally dared not fail to come immediately to take her pulse. Since Hongli took Xueying to the Northwest, Mingyu had entrusted the household affairs to Madam Gao. She herself continued to recuperate under the physician's care.
Since Su became pregnant, Mingyu had been actively taking care of her health. In addition, her mother, the old lady Fucha, had specially invited many doctors to prescribe medicines for her to regulate her body, so the main courtyard was always filled with the smell of medicine.
The doctor came over to take Mingyu's pulse. He knew that this principal wife was recuperating in order to give birth to a healthy son for the prince.
Mingyu leaned back on the soft couch as the doctor took Mingyu's pulse, while Zixun watched the doctor's expression intently and nervously.
"Doctor, why has our Lady not had a good appetite lately, and why is she so lazy?" Zi Xun couldn't help but ask.
"Please calm down, young lady. I will carefully examine your pulse," the doctor said.
"Zixun, go and get me some sour candied fruit. My mouth feels tasteless," Mingyu said lazily.
Upon hearing her words, the doctor frowned and became even more careful in taking the princess's pulse.
By the time Zi Xun took out the candied fruit and handed it to Ming Yu, the doctor had already let go of Ming Yu's hand.
"Doctor, what's wrong with our Lady?" Zi Xun asked.
"Congratulations, Madam! I just examined you very carefully, and you appear to be pregnant," the doctor said with a smile and a cupped-hand salute.
"Really?" Zi Xun asked in surprise.
Mingyu, who had been feeling lazy, straightened up upon hearing the doctor's words and looked at him in surprise, asking, "Is it really true?"
"I just carefully checked both of your hands, Your Highness's, and it is indeed a pulse of pregnancy. Congratulations, Your Highness," the doctor said with a smile. Checking someone's pulse to confirm pregnancy is certainly a joyous occasion.
Mingyu could hardly believe it; the legitimate son she had longed for for so long had actually arrived!
"Madam, that's wonderful! You're pregnant!" Zixun exclaimed joyfully.
"Good, reward him, Zi Xun, give the doctor a generous reward." Mingyu immediately sat up straight, her heart filled with excitement that words could not express.
After seeing the doctor off, Mingyu sent someone to the palace to deliver the good news. She was finally pregnant and could finally breathe a sigh of relief in front of her mother-in-law. At the same time, she also sent the news to the Fucha residence.
The household also learned that the Princess Consort was pregnant. Counting the days, it was clear that Mingyu conceived this child just before Hongli left. Mingyu recalled that Hongli had indeed stayed at her place every night before he departed.
When Lady Su heard that the Fujin was pregnant, she breathed a sigh of relief, thinking to herself: The Fujin is pregnant, which is good news for my son, and Yongzhang will be less of a hindrance.
When Lady Gao learned that the Fujin was pregnant, she was happy, but also felt a little bittersweet.
The two came to the main courtyard together to congratulate Mingyu.
"My ladies, the Fujin is feeling unwell and may not be able to see you. She said she knows your feelings. Please come again when you feel better," Zi Xun relayed the message to the two princesses in the side room where they were waiting.
