Gu Xiaoqiao looked at his face and her smile became even brighter and more charming.
"Okay, thank you, Your Majesty. I understand."
After saying that, she put her arms around Di Mian's waist and leaned into his arms.
This was the only time she felt at peace since she entered the palace.
Seeing this, Emperor Mian raised the corners of his lips slightly and stroked her soft hair with one hand.
"By the way, Your Majesty, I have one more thing to ask you."
Gu Xiaoqiao suddenly raised his head with a serious look.
"What's going on?"
Seeing how serious she was, Emperor Mian also became serious.
"Empress Ning fell into the water. Is Your Majesty so sure that it wasn't me who did it?"
Gu Xiaoqiao asked.
Emperor Mian's expression froze for a moment, then he smiled and said, "I believe you are not that stupid."
"I understand what the emperor means." Gu Xiaoqiao also smiled.
He was right, she was not stupid. Why would she push Concubine Ning into the water for no reason?
"What if I didn't fall into the water today, but was standing on the bridge?" Gu Xiaoqiao asked.
Emperor Mian raised an eyebrow. "Then you certainly won't do that. With your personality, you never bother to push anyone."
Gu Xiaoqiao curled her lips, "Does Your Majesty really trust me so much? Concubine Ning has been with Your Majesty for many years, but I have only been with Your Majesty for two or three months."
"Jealous?"
Emperor Mian chuckled, "Don't worry, you and she are completely different. You two are different in my heart.
I've been kind to her all these years because she once helped me block a sword, so as long as it's within my control, I'll give her whatever she wants."
At this point he sighed softly and pinched the tip of her nose.
"But Concubine Ning has been acting more and more erratically in recent years. I've given her many chances, but she's never changed. But you're different. From the moment I heard your voice on the day of the palace selection, I've been interested in you..."
That night, Emperor Mian transformed from a cold and arrogant tyrant into a gentle and considerate clingy person, and he kept saying a lot of sweet words.
Gu Xiaoqiao was listening with great interest at first, but then she fell asleep for some reason.
Overnight, the news that Concubine Gu was pregnant spread to every corner of the palace.
Even the ministers outside the palace knew about it.
At the morning court the next day, all the ministers congratulated the emperor.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty! Congratulations, Your Majesty! Now that Your Majesty has a dragon heir, our Great Yuan will be even more prosperous."
"Yes, the emperor is wise, and the nobles are intelligent. The future prince will surely be smart, wise, and handsome. He is the hope for the future of our Great Abyss Nation!"
Emperor Mian was sitting there grinning from ear to ear. He waved to the ministers kneeling below and said, "Alright, alright, my dear ministers, please stand up. I accept all your blessings. I am in a good mood today, so I will grant you three days off. Go home, rest up, and spend time with your families."
As soon as these words were spoken, the ministers below immediately knelt down excitedly to express their gratitude.
You know, since Emperor Mian ascended the throne, working overtime has been commonplace for them.
When the late emperor was alive, he only had one day off every five days. Now, he only has one day off every ten days or half a month, and the approval process for reporting a fight is also very strict.
It is simply a miracle that an emperor who is so stingy with holidays is now willing to grant them three days of vacation!
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Everyone shouted in unison, their faces showing excitement and their moods were extremely joyful.
After leaving the court, everyone couldn't help but gather together and whisper.
"The Emperor actually made an exception and gave us three days of rest. This is unprecedented. It's obvious that the Emperor is really happy."
"That's right, this thousand-year-old iron tree finally blossomed. How could the Emperor not be happy? The country has a successor. The Emperor is very happy, and so are we. It's all worth celebrating!"
"Hahaha, yes, this is something we should celebrate!"
"Let's go to the restaurant and have a drink!"
"Go, go, go!"
......
Ever since Gu Xiaoqiao was diagnosed with pregnancy, the entire harem has been filled with joy.
Of course, except for a few individuals, Concubine Ning failed to gain anything and wanted to use a trick to make Gu Xiaoqiao suffer, but she was diagnosed with pregnancy during this period.
She racked her brains but couldn't figure it out. The entire harem was under her control, and she even arranged for someone to add contraceptive pills to her meals. How could she get pregnant?
