The letter said that his brother had passed the imperial examination and would be marrying his sister-in-law soon.
After getting married, they planned to come to Beijing together, one to accompany their brother to take the imperial examination, and the other to visit Tu Qingyu.
"What are you looking at? You look so happy." When Si Chao came with the imperial physician, she was just putting the letter away with a smile.
"Nothing. My mother wrote to me saying that my brother has become a juren and will come to the capital to see me after he marries his future sister-in-law."
"That's really a happy occasion." He thought for a moment, "I'll have someone prepare a house in the capital."
"No, how can I ask you to arrange everything?"
"I do. She is your mother and also my mother-in-law. It is my duty to be considerate to her."
She smiled and said nothing more. At this time, Si Chao waved to the imperial physician behind him, "Hurry and check her out."
The imperial physician bowed to Tu Qingyu and began to feel her pulse. After a moment, he asked, "Have you often felt weak and tired recently? Has your appetite changed? Has your period not come yet?"
"Yes, our queen has exactly these symptoms." The head nanny replied with a smile.
Si Chao saw that her expression was a little unhappy. How could she still smile so happily at this time?
"That's correct." The imperial physician stood up and said, "Your Majesty, the queen is pregnant and is already a month and a half pregnant."
Si Chao was stunned and even suspected that he had heard it wrong.
"You...what did you say?"
The servants around Tu Qingyu immediately knelt down under the leadership of the head nanny.
The nanny smiled and congratulated, "Congratulations, Your Majesty, congratulations, Your Majesty, the Queen is pregnant."
"I've always been so sure. Your Majesty's period hasn't come yet, and she often feels tired and weak, and she also likes to eat sour food. She must be pregnant."
But the Empress didn't allow her to invite the imperial physician, so she didn't dare to say anything.
The imperial physician repeated, "Yes, it is absolutely true. Your Majesty has been pregnant for over a month and a half."
Only then did Si Chao have time to be happy. He hugged Tu Qingyu, picked him up and spun him around a few times.
"Hey, put me down, I'm going to faint."
The nanny also stood up hurriedly, "Your Majesty, please put the queen down first. She is pregnant."
"Ah, yes." He put her down and carefully touched her belly. "You're pregnant. I can't be so reckless anymore."
"It's okay, actually. I've always been healthy."
"No matter how healthy you are, you are pregnant now."
After he put the man down, he looked at the people kneeling in the hall, his eyes filled with unconcealed joy, "Reward! Reward them all!"
"Everyone in Fengyi Palace will receive a half-yearly allowance!"
After he finished speaking, he paused, his expression slightly tangled. Tu Qingyu didn't understand, "What's going on?"
"I've heard that children in the palace are not revealed to the public until they are three months old. You're only one and a half months old..."
"It's okay." Tu Qingyu held his hand. "It's three months because the fetus is unstable within three months..."
She walked over and whispered in his ear, "The harem is dangerous. They want to announce it to the world after three months because they are afraid that they can't protect the child."
"With you here, are you afraid that you can't protect your child?"
"Of course I'm not afraid." His eyes were firm. "No one will try to hurt you and the child."
She smiled and raised an eyebrow, "That's it."
"Alright, alright, Guangbing, you'll reward them immediately. Everyone who didn't come with you from Fengyi Palace should also be rewarded!"
"yes."
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace. Long live Your Majesty, and may Your Majesty live a thousand years and a thousand years."
Si Chao carefully asked the imperial physician about the many taboos for pregnant women before letting the person go.
He originally didn't want to travel and wanted to hold a family dinner at the palace.
But Tu Qingyu felt that if a family banquet was held in the palace, all civil and military officials, as well as everyone in the harem, would have to be invited to the palace.
It’s too troublesome to go back and forth.
"But I'm worried about your stomach."
"It's okay. The imperial physician has already said that there is no problem with my pregnancy. Besides, I have an imperial physician with me, so it's okay."
"Okay, then you must ride with me on the way back. Otherwise, I won't be at ease."
"good."
While the carriage was still on the way, the news of Tu Qingyu's pregnancy had already reached the palace.
At that time, in Zhao Xiuyi's bedroom.
Zhao Xiuyi couldn't help but smash a cup, which scared Wang Jieyu, who had just come out to walk around.
"What are you doing, my queen? Don't get angry and get yourself sick." She covered her chest, she was really scared.
"Oh, I'm pregnant!" Zhao Xiuyi gritted her teeth, "How can I be so lucky? I've only been in the palace for a short time, and I'm already pregnant!"
"Your Majesty," a beautiful woman sitting beside her said, "She's just pregnant, not having given birth yet."
"Yes." Concubine Wang took over the conversation, "There are many pregnant women in the palace, but they still have to give birth to the baby."
The beauty just now covered the corner of her mouth with a handkerchief, "Not to mention pregnancy, there are many princes and princesses who died at birth."
Zhao Xiuyi took a deep breath and consoled herself, "Yes, throughout the dynasties, there have been countless babies who died in the imperial palace, haven't there?"
Concubine Wang: "But His Majesty is very protective of her, and she herself is also cautious..."
Xu Cainv: "Have you forgotten what happened at the Juchang Field that day?"
That was almost her nightmare for some time, simply because Le Jieyu brought a plate of pastries.
Your Majesty has few children to begin with, and now he is over thirty and still has no son. This is not only harming the child, but also the woman he loves.
Don’t you want to live anymore?
Why was she pulled onto this boat? She was just a little courtesan and she was scared.
When they heard her talk about the place where the chess was played, everyone present couldn't help but tremble.
Concubine Wang looked at her with dissatisfaction, "Why are you bringing this up when things are going well? It's unlucky."
"Yes, if you don't want to, you can leave now."
Xu Cainv looked at the women in the room and couldn't help but speak up again, "We can't have children, so why should we care whether others can or not?"
"How dare you!" Upon hearing that she couldn't give birth, Zhao Xiuyi raised the cup beside her and smashed it over, "Bang!"
The tea splashed all over Xu Cainv, and tea leaves stuck to her hair and face.
Fortunately, the tea was warm, otherwise, this face would have been ruined.
Xu Cainv knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, please calm down."
The other concubines also stood up and bowed, "Your Majesty, please calm down."
"Xu Cainv is just young, please don't bother with her." A concubine couldn't stand it anymore and pleaded for Xu Cainv.
"Get out, get out, all of you." Zhao Xiuyi couldn't help but raise her hand.
After this roll, most people retreated, leaving only a few people including Wang Jieyu inside.
Seeing Xu Cainv coming out in such a mess, her maid said, "Master, you..."
"We are all the emperor's concubines. How can she treat you like this?" The maid was angry and anxious.
