"Ah?! Ah?? Xixi, what did you just say?! You are pregnant with the emperor's child?!"
Miao Manman exclaimed with her eyes wide open.
Ying Xixi nodded, a hint of shyness on her face, "It should be more than three months old. It is indeed the emperor's child."
Ying's father and Ying Zhen were equally shocked, but after exchanging glances, they looked solemn and hesitant.
"Xixi, are you sure the person you had physical contact with that night was the emperor?"
"It is certain that my jade pendant also fell into the Emperor's possession that night. The Emperor brought my jade pendant to me last night. This also confirms that the person that night was indeed the Emperor.
"Father, brother, why do you have such expressions? Is there something wrong?"
Ying Xixi was a little puzzled.
Ying Zhen nodded worriedly, "Xixi, the reason I ask you this is because I know a secret of the emperor.
The emperor... has difficulty in having children. Logically speaking, it is unlikely that he will have any children.
But you and the Emperor only had sex once... and you're already pregnant. This seems unlikely."
Ying Xixi choked. She almost forgot about this.
Isn't the purpose of the childbearing system because it is difficult for the male protagonists in every dimension to have children?
The male protagonist of this dimension, Gu Wang, is no exception.
"Father, brother, you know quite a lot of secrets about the emperor.
But isn’t it said that the emperor is not interested in women and does not favor the three thousand beauties in the harem?
Then brother, how do you know that it is difficult for the emperor to have children?
Has no one tried this, or was it diagnosed by a royal physician?"
Ying Xixi was a little curious.
"It was indeed diagnosed by the imperial physician. Several years ago, the emperor had an accident and fell off a horse and was injured. It was during that incident that the imperial physician diagnosed him.
Not many people know about this. The reason I know about it is because I was riding with the emperor at that time.
I didn't expect that after so many years, the emperor would actually return to normal."
Ying Zhen looked a little surprised when she said this.
Ying Xixi scratched her head.
It’s not that Gu Wang returned to normal, but that she took the fertility pills and made Gu Wang return to what others thought was normal.
But of course she couldn't say that.
"So there is such a thing. Maybe the emperor has really returned to normal."
"Xixi, does the emperor know about your pregnancy?"
Miao Manman thought of this.
Ying Xixi shook her head, "I haven't had the chance to say it yet."
"Then let's not talk about it for now. I heard that it has to be kept secret when the month is young.
And after you become queen, you'll have to face the three thousand beauties in the harem, so you'd better keep it secret and be careful."
Miao Manman persuaded.
After they finished talking about everything, Ying Xixi went back to the house to rest.
On the other hand, as soon as Gu Wang returned to the palace, he instructed the Imperial Observatory to find a good day for the wedding and the ceremony of coronation of the queen.
He couldn't wait to marry his beloved woman!
When Eunuch Fuquan heard the emperor's instructions, his eyes, which were as big as green beans, widened a lot.
"Your Majesty, have you...gotten the beauty?"
Gu Wang folded his arms, raised his chin slightly, and looked very proud.
“That’s it!”
"Congratulations, Your Majesty! Congratulations, Your Majesty!"
Eunuch Fuquan was extremely happy, and looked as if he had finally found his true love.
Gu Wang picked up the brush with a smile, already thinking about how much betrothal gift to give to Ying Xixi.
Before he had written a few words, Eunuch Fuquan came to report that Concubine Shu had arrived.
Gu Wang frowned and said, "Let her in."
The exquisitely dressed Concubine Shu came in carrying a food box.
"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you. Your Majesty, I heard that you returned today, so I specially prepared some medicinal food for you to nourish your body."
Shu Fei's voice was soft and charming, but when Gu Wang heard it, it only made him feel a little irritated.
"No, I don't want to drink it. You can take it back."
Gu Wang’s refusal was quite direct.
The smile on Concubine Shu's beautiful face froze for a moment, but she still took a few steps forward.
"If Your Majesty doesn't want to drink now, you can drink later. I haven't seen Your Majesty for a long time. Can't I see you?"
Concubine Shu deliberately prolonged the ending tone to act coquettishly.
But Gu Wang ignored her, and there was a moment of awkwardness in the room.
Concubine Shu had no choice but to change the subject, "Your Majesty, I just met the director of the Imperial Observatory outside, but is there any good news that requires choosing a good day?"
Speaking of this matter, Gu Wang was willing to talk about it.
He hummed, "I will hold a ceremony to crown the queen."
The four words "Queen's coronation ceremony" made Concubine Shu's heart tremble.
She felt a little excited and expectant.
Now the imperial concubine has been banished to the cold palace, and she is currently the concubine with the highest rank in the palace!
Could it be that this ceremony of crowning the empress was prepared by the emperor just for her?!
Gu Wang lowered his head and looked at the memorial, not knowing what Concubine Shu’s expression was at the moment, but Eunuch Fuquan, who was waiting on the side, saw it clearly.
Does Concubine Shu think that she is about to become the queen?
Eunuch Fuquan: “….”
What a beautiful idea!
"Your Majesty, in this ceremony of conferring the empress...who will be crowned empress?"
Concubine Shu asked nervously.
Gu Wang raised his eyes and glanced at Concubine Shu, "You don't need to know about this. It's not you anyway."
Concubine Shu choked, and her previous expectation instantly turned into disappointment and anger.
Not her?
Who could that be?!
Who in this palace is more suitable to be the queen than her? !
Concubine Shu gritted her teeth and continued to ask tentatively, "Your Majesty..."
"go out."
Gu Wang's two cold words frightened Concubine Shu and she dared not say anything else.
"Yes, I'll take my leave."
As Concubine Shu turned around, Gu Wang called her.
Just as hope ignited in Concubine Shu's heart, she heard Gu Wang's cold voice.
"Take your soup away."
Concubine Shu clenched her fists, took the food box, lowered her head and left.
As soon as Concubine Shu left, the coldness and oppression that Gu Wang had just felt disappeared instantly.
He became the man again, who was obsessed with giving a betrothal gift to the woman he loved.
Eunuch Fuquan witnessed everything and thought that the emperor had finally found his beloved woman.
Concubine Shu angrily returned to her bedroom with the palace maid.
The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. She raised her hand and smashed the food box to the ground.
The lid of the food box was smashed open and the soup inside splashed all over the floor.
"Who the hell is this bitch! How dare she surpass me and become the queen!
You simply don't take me seriously!"
Qiulan, the palace maid serving Concubine Shu, was confused and surprised when she heard this.
"My lady, what happened?"
Concubine Shu repeated what the emperor had just said.
"There hasn't been any news lately about the Emperor wanting to appoint a queen!
There are so many people in the harem, who knows which bitch got there first! "
Concubine Shu gritted her teeth and raised her hand to smash another white jade porcelain cup to the ground.
