"Greetings, Madam, may you be well and safe."
"No need to be polite."
During their daily conversation, she first turned her gaze to Tu Qingyu, "I've already told you that you don't need to come to pay your respects when your belly is big, but you still come every time. You are the most polite."
"I've taken good care of this baby. There's still some time before the birth, so it's only natural that she'll be able to walk."
"It's better to be careful."
"I understand. Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty." She looked up and said earnestly, "But I see that Your Majesty doesn't look very well. You should take good care of yourself."
Lu Huaixi took over the conversation, "I was just about to say this, Your Majesty is pregnant and working hard for the entire Eastern Palace, Your Majesty must take care of yourself."
"Thank you also for Lu Chenghui's concern. Now Qingyu is pregnant with twins. She will have two children when they are born. You should hurry up."
"Yes, Lu Chenghui, you have such a good relationship with Tu Liangyuan, and His Highness has been to your place often, so why haven't you gotten pregnant?"
Tu Qingyu's first reaction was to sow discord. She looked at Lu Huaixi. Others might not know, but how could she not know?
Whenever Jiang Jingchuan stayed overnight at someone else's place, they would just chat under the quilt.
Lu Huaixi looked very calm, "Whether I am pregnant or not depends on fate. If the child comes, I will naturally be happy. If not, I will just live my life like this."
Feng Liangyuan, on the other hand, felt a bit bitter when she thought that she was still a virgin.
The Crown Princess took a sip of tea and said, "It's best if you can be open-minded."
After the greetings were over, the Crown Princess's body, which had been holding on tightly, suddenly softened.
The nanny quickly stepped forward to support her, "My Lady, how are you?"
"I'm fine, I just feel weak in my hands and feet."
"Your Majesty, since you are already like this, why don't you just skip the greetings from now on?"
In fact, the Crown Princess couldn't hold on any longer. Ever since she fell into the water last time, she could clearly feel that her health had deteriorated.
She nodded. "Okay."
"Madam said some time ago..." The nanny hesitated when she saw the Crown Princess's frail appearance, but after thinking for a moment, she sighed and said, "Twins are born quickly. Tu Liangyuan's child will definitely be born before the master. You should make plans early."
In fact, she also agreed with what the lady said, that the eldest son must come from his own master's belly.
Otherwise, Tu Liangyuan would have been quite successful now.
When she gives birth to the child in the future, His Highness will definitely ask for the title of Liangdi for her.
In this way, she is not only the prince's concubine, but also favored by His Highness.
The concubine can also be in charge of household affairs, and then His Highness will transfer the power of the Eastern Palace to Tu Liangyuan.
Then, is there still a place for the master in this East Palace?
The Crown Princess moved her still trembling fingers, "But Madam, look, my current condition, even if I use the labor-inducing drug..."
The nanny was silent for a while, feeling sorry for the girl she had nursed since she was a child.
"Well, if Your Majesty is afraid, then we won't do it. After all, the child will definitely be Your Highness's only legitimate son when it is born."
But it’s difficult to explain to the master and the mistress.
However difficult it is to explain, the master's health should be prioritized.
The Crown Princess's eyes flashed, "Mammy, find the best imperial physician to prescribe medicine. Everything should be fine."
As the eldest son, will he get more attention from His Highness?
"this……"
The nanny was silent for a moment, then finally nodded, "Okay, let's find the best imperial physician to prescribe medicine."
Another month passed, and everyone thought Tu Qingyu was about to give birth, but she didn't.
As for the Crown Princess, it is said that she has had sex several times but has no intention of taking action.
The imperial physician who was prescribing medicine for the Crown Princess's wife's body was shaking. "Your Majesty, your pregnancy is stable. Why not just wait for the baby to be born naturally?"
This is really strange. The baby cannot be born even after taking several doses of oxytocin. Instead, the mother is getting weaker and weaker.
How dare he prescribe medicine?
"Doctor, is there really no other way?"
The imperial physician quickly shook his head, "Your Majesty, your pregnancy is really... I'm not sure, but if you use a higher dose of the labor-inducing drug, if the child still can't be born, I'm afraid there will be two deaths."
When the Crown Princess heard this word, her hands began to tremble.
The nanny couldn't bear it any longer and knelt on the ground, "My Lady, I think the young master was born extraordinary. He doesn't want to leave his mother so soon. My Lady, please let him stay in your belly."
As for the eldest son, it’s better not to fight.
Look at her master, he has lost so much weight in just one month, and his complexion is so bad.
Even if you apply thick makeup, it cannot cover up the sickness on your face.
"Mammy..." The Crown Princess' lips trembled, "Send the doctor out."
The nanny quickly got up and politely sent the doctor out.
On November 14, Tu Qingyu felt a contraction while eating breakfast.
She quickly stood up and put down the bowl, "Mammy, I'm about to give birth, help me to the delivery room."
The nanny reached out and supported her while instructing, "Fenghui, take someone to prepare hot water and towels. Linghua, take someone to monitor Qionghua Palace, especially the area around the delivery room. No one is allowed to enter unless they have been pre-arranged. Xiaoshanzi, hurry to the front and inform His Highness after he leaves court."
"Yes!" the three answered in unison.
After that, the entire Qionghua Palace began to move in an orderly manner.
Tu Qingyu lay on the bed, watching the four midwives that Jiang Jingchuan had found busying around.
She asked Dabao in her heart, "Dabao, how long will it take for that memorial to be submitted?"
Dabao: "It will be delivered to the emperor in about half an hour."
Tu Qingyu: "Is the illusion ready?"
Dabao: "Don't worry, I'll take care of it."
This kind of illusion is a means of pleasing people. There are no restrictions on this in the imperial city, so it can be easily accomplished.
After the prince left the court, he learned that Tu Qingyu was about to give birth, so he hurried back.
As soon as I entered the Qionghua Palace, I heard a loud baby crying.
Not long after, another one appeared.
When the two children's cries sounded at the same time, a golden light suddenly sprinkled down from the sky, and the red clouds were thousands of feet high.
Everyone outside the Qionghua Palace was stunned.
"This, this is an auspicious sign..."
"The two young masters must have some background."
“This is so beautiful.”
…
When they came to their senses, Jiang Jingchuan had already entered the Qionghua Palace.
The palace maids in Qionghua Palace knelt down to congratulate.
"Congratulations, Your Highness! Congratulations, Your Highness! The Master has given birth to twins, a boy and a girl!"
Even now Jiang Jingchuan still feels a little unreal.
After being childless for over 30 years, the first time we had one, we had a pair of twins, a boy and a girl.
The immense joy made half of his body numb.
Li Shi called out softly, "Your Highness?"
He came back to his senses and immediately asked, "Where is your master? Is she okay?"
Nanny Yang: "Your Highness, the birth was quick and painless. Both mother and child are doing well."
"Hahahaha." Knowing that Tu Qingyu was fine, he laughed heartily, "Okay, okay!"
"Everyone in Qionghua Palace will receive a monthly allowance for one year!"
