Lady Hou listened quietly from the side. She truly treated Wan Ge like her own daughter, and she was very happy to hear that Wan Ge was doing well.
However, she had known about these things for a long time. After all, her situation was different from Madam Mo's. She had always been in the capital, and His Majesty had given her special privileges, allowing her to freely enter and leave the palace to visit her daughter.
So she came quite a few times and saw that Nan Su always gave her the best. She had also told Madam Mo before that she could rest assured that His Majesty treated Wan Ge very well.
But it feels very different when these words come from your daughter's own mouth.
Suddenly, Lady Hou noticed that General Mo and Nan Su had arrived, so she pulled Lady Mo forward to pay their respects.
Nan Su, of course, told his two mothers-in-law not to stand on ceremony and invited them to take their seats.
At first, everyone was enjoying the meal and chatting happily, but when a fish was served, Wan Ge felt like vomiting just from the smell.
"Sister!" Nan Su's face turned pale instantly. He immediately went over to support her and at the same time quickly ordered the eunuch next to him to find the imperial physician.
The others tensed up immediately. Wan Ge patted his hand and whispered, "Don't be nervous, I just feel a little nauseous from the smell of fish, I..."
Before Wan Ge could finish speaking, Madam Hou interrupted, "Could it be that Ge'er is pregnant?"
When these words came out, everyone was stunned.
Nansu was both excited and nervous, and prayed in her heart that she was pregnant.
Why is that?
Because the poison Wan Ge was poisoned with would make her unable to conceive, only when the poison is completely cleared from her body will her body be able to conceive.
Although the imperial physician said a year ago that the toxins in her body had been completely cleared, Wan Ge had not been able to conceive. Therefore, Nan Su suspected that the toxins in her body had not been completely cleared. Now that she is pregnant, it proves that there is really no problem with her body.
The imperial physician arrived quickly and then told Nan Su that Wan Ge was already one month pregnant. The reason why she couldn't detect it by taking her pulse before was because it's not easy to detect pregnancy in the early stages. It's usually possible to detect the pulse after about a month of pregnancy.
Others were also happy to hear the news, after all, offspring were still very important to them in this era.
General Mo rarely participated in court affairs, but he had heard some things about his daughter. Not to mention that Marquis Zhennan was often in court and had heard many impeachments against his daughter.
However, Nan Su resolved all of these issues. After he dealt with them, no one dared to discuss the matter in the court, although some people still talked about it in private.
Although Marquis Zhennan believed that Nansu would not change his mind at this moment, what about later? Wan Ge had no children and no one to rely on. What would she do if Nansu really changed his mind one day?
Now that we know she has a child, at least she'll have a child to rely on in the future, and there will be far fewer criticisms directed at her in court.
Marquis Zhennan could actually understand their thoughts. Nan Su abolished the harem for Wan Ge's sake, only wanting one empress. Since other women's daughters could not be sent in, they naturally had grievances.
…
"A-Su, what are you thinking about?" Wan Ge gently pinched his cheek.
Madam Mo stood aside, her heart pounding with fear. Her daughter was far too audacious.
Nan Su snapped out of his daze upon hearing her voice, wanting to reach out and hug her but hesitant.
Wan Ge immediately saw through his thoughts, so she took the initiative to hug him.
The other person suddenly hugged her, and Nan Su was almost scared to death: "Sister, be careful."
Nansu carefully hugged the other person back, her face turning pale with fright.
"It's okay, it's not that fragile."
Before Madam Mo could even speak, Madam Hou said, "That's right. You're newly pregnant now, so you have to be careful. You're almost a mother, so don't be so reckless."
"I understand, Mother." After answering this, Wan Ge saw Madam Mo standing to the side, looking somewhat at a loss.
So he took her hand and placed it on his belly, saying, "Mother, I'm going to be a mother too."
Madam Mo, her eyes red-rimmed, patted her head and said, "Mother heard it and is truly happy for our Ge'er."
The men waiting outside, along with Wan Ge's sisters-in-law, also heard the news of Wan Ge's pregnancy and immediately breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that she wasn't sick.
…
Although Wan Ge's pregnancy interrupted the banquet, everyone was happy, and Madam Mo was also granted a special pardon and allowed to enter the palace at will.
Therefore, before the New Year, he would often go to the palace with Lady Hou, bringing some tonics, as well as some small clothes and shoes that he had made himself.
Of course, Madam Mo also made some ornaments and hand warmers for her daughter.
She didn't make clothes because she felt her skills weren't as good as the embroiderers in the palace, and the fabrics available outside the palace weren't as good either. So she gave up on the idea of making clothes, but she could still do something else.
Madam Mo is skilled in martial arts, but to become a close friend of Madam Hou, she must also be skilled in needlework, music, chess, calligraphy, and painting.
Because she visited the palace more often, Madam Mo could clearly see the emperor's attitude towards her daughter, as well as the palace maids' strict control over her daughter's diet.
Nansu is very strict about what she gives to Wan Ge. Even the fabric of her clothes is inspected before it reaches Wan Ge.
However, the procedures for Lady Hou's and Lady Mo's belongings were not so strict. They were simply given a brief inspection before being sent to the evening singer.
It wasn't that he didn't trust his two mothers-in-law, but to be on the safe side, it would be better to check.
