The Queen Mother's eyes blurred, and she suspected that she had just heard it wrong, so she asked again.
"What did the imperial physician just say? I seem to have misheard."
The old doctor's eyes showed a hint of understanding, and he once again confirmed her:
"According to this humble servant's pulse diagnosis, Concubine Qing is indeed pregnant. The Queen Mother may summon the other imperial physicians from the Imperial Hospital to come and check Concubine Qing's pulse."
The old doctor had many years of medical experience and had checked the pulse of ordinary pregnant women countless times. He was already very confident in his mind, but he still had to give the family of Tian, who had received the good news, more options.
The Queen Mother quickly called for Nanny Qiu.
"Madame Qiu, hurry! Go and call all the doctors from the Imperial Hospital over to me!"
Nanny Qiu knew that this was a serious matter, so she immediately went to ask the imperial physician from the Imperial Hospital to come over.
Seeing the Queen Mother at a loss as to what to do, Qing Dai smiled and consoled her:
"Your Majesty, please be patient. The Imperial Hospital staff will be here soon."
In the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, several old doctors registered with the Imperial Medical Bureau rushed to the Cining Palace.
With the chief of the Imperial Medical Bureau in front, the people who took turns taking the pulse felt more confident, and the final result they came to was unanimous: Empress Qing was indeed pregnant.
The empress dowager was overjoyed and quickly asked Qingdai to sit on the couch and asked her about her well-being.
With a wave of his hand, he took charge of the entire process of Qingdai's care from pregnancy to childbirth and raising the baby.
When Qingdai saw this, she felt warm inside.
The Empress Dowager is really a very warm old lady.
After being busy for a long time, the empress dowager sat down and chatted with Qingdai to relax.
A pregnant woman cannot have anything weighing on her mind, so she has to talk to Qing Yatou about happy things every day.
As they were chatting, the Empress Dowager suddenly remembered something that had made her angry that morning, and she sneered in her heart.
Qing had only been in the palace for a month when she already had some news in her belly. She wanted to see what the court officials had to say this time.
The Queen Mother immediately instructed Aunt Qiu:
"Madam Qiu, quickly send someone to tell His Majesty that Miss Qing is pregnant.
The morning court session hasn't ended yet, so remember to tell His Majesty before it ends!"
Let those ministers who are always staring at the royal offspring open their eyes wide and take a good look to see who is unable to have children!
***
Xiao Guangbai attended court today, and as usual, some ministers who were not afraid of death dared to submit memorials.
"Your Majesty, your harem has been childless for years. To continue the lineage and find an heir for your kingdom, you should open up your harem and resume the selection of concubines!"
Xiao Guangbai has heard similar words countless times over the years.
They are all a bunch of ignorant people.
I don’t know how many people were stuffed into his harem using this excuse.
But they didn't know that if they put one into the harem, Xiao Guangbai would have someone get rid of one.
Then they let the shadow guards wear human skin masks and stay in the harem for a long time to play the role of "insiders" as they thought.
Using this method, Xiao Guangbai has caught countless lawless and evil-minded officials over the years.
He sneered and was about to ask someone to dig out evidence of the minister's corruption and abuse of power.
Suddenly an old eunuch hurried up to him and whispered something to him.
"Master Yuchi is right. It's time for His Majesty to have some new people in the harem..."
"We are waiting to review the matter, Lord Yuchi."
"I reconsider..."
…
These old ministers who were urging His Majesty to expand the harem were discussing it in full swing when they saw His Majesty suddenly stand up from the dragon throne.
With a flick of her sleeves, Ci Jinlian disappeared from the hall.
The morning breeze whistled past his ears, and Xiao Guangbai's mind was filled with the news that the old man had just reported to him.
His Qingqing... is pregnant.
The man who never showed his emotions showed a moment of confusion on his face.
The next moment, his figure was as fast as the wind and disappeared in the air in the blink of an eye.
***
The old ministers were left looking at each other in bewilderment.
One of the elderly ministers stroked his beard, his anger burning in his chest, and said meaningfully:
"In his early years, the late emperor worked diligently to govern the country and treated us with great respect and courtesy. He never openly left the morning court. Now, Your Majesty is really..."
Several ministers sighed repeatedly, each with their own ulterior motives, trying to subtly undermine Xiao Guangbai's prestige.
In his early years, the late emperor was still wary of this group of old ministers, but now Your Majesty has long been out of their control.
They tried to fight back and dominate the imperial power for many years, but always failed.
Now, as long as they find an opportunity, they will spare no effort to discredit Xiao Guangbai's prestige as an emperor.
The old man standing next to the dragon throne silently glanced at the ministers and memorized their names in his mind.
It's ridiculous that you dare to talk about His Majesty... and you don't even know that your death is approaching!
The old man flicked his whisk, acting like a eunuch holding a pen in front of the emperor.
"News has come from the harem that Concubine Qing is pregnant. Your Majesty will adjourn the morning court and share the good news with the other adults on a later date."
What? !
The old man's words caused a huge uproar.
Today's morning court is still in full swing with discussions, so please let Your Majesty open up the harem.
Who would have thought that in just a few cups of tea, there would be news from the harem?!
Empress Qing...that person has only been in the palace for a month...
The ministers who had just been condescendingly accusing Xiao Guangbai suddenly became the target of public criticism.
"--Your Majesty, the harem has been childless for many years? How did Concubine Qing conceive a royal heir?"
Someone said this in a sarcastic tone, then turned and walked away.
***
Xiao Guangbai rushed all the way to the Cining Palace like a hurricane.
