The dream that night was exceptionally long, so long that it lasted from dusk till dawn, but it was also exceptionally short, so short that the former empress was reluctant to wake up from it.
I don’t know what the late emperor said to the late empress in her dream. After waking up, the late empress started to eat on time, go out for a walk, and no longer locked herself in the room to commit suicide.
After returning to Jialan Palace that day, the empress began to worship Buddha. Except for eating and sleeping, she almost stayed in the ancestral hall.
Today was no exception. After the empress had her meal, she went to the ancestral hall to worship Buddha and recite scriptures.
The personal nanny who got the news ran in excitedly, and walked lightly to the door of the ancestral hall for fear of disturbing the late empress.
"Master, news has come from the Imperial City that Her Majesty is pregnant!"
Although the nanny had lowered her voice, her excitement was still evident in her tone.
Nanny knew that His Majesty was the only thing keeping the late empress alive.
Boom——
The wooden hammer in the late empress's hand fell to the ground.

In nine months, the baby in Yu'er's belly will be born. She has to prepare gifts for the baby in advance. Yes, she has to prepare gifts for the baby in advance.
So the former empress, who had locked herself in the ancestral hall to worship Buddha all day long, had new things to do. When the palace people saw her coming out of the ancestral hall, they immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and a faint smile appeared in their eyes.
But the empress was stumped by another problem.
What should she prepare for the child?
The former empress sat at the stone table in the yard for a long time, and finally thought of something as the sun was setting.
"Come here, prepare the needlework."
Although the people in the harem were shocked when they heard the words of the late empress, they still obediently prepared the things needed for needlework for her.
