The emperor has also witnessed Xu Lingyi's hard work in the past few days. She really vomits everything she eats.
But even though he was the emperor, there was nothing he could do about the pregnancy. He could only ask the imperial kitchen to prepare more light and delicious dishes and change the styles.
But even so, Xu Lingyi still couldn't eat.
Whether she was lying in bed or sitting up, she felt dizzy and nauseous.
At first, Nanny Zhang tried to persuade Xu Lingyi to eat something, but after seeing that she vomited violently right after eating, she dared not persuade her anymore.
Xu Lingyi had heard that some people would suffer from severe morning sickness, but she didn't expect that she herself was one of them.
She even regretted getting pregnant for a moment because it was too painful and she was tortured by the child in her belly.
But now the arrow has been shot and there is no turning back, and she really needs a child.
With the child, she has the confidence and bargaining chips, Li Xu is not to be feared, she dares to deal with Princess Minghua, and even kill her.
Only when Xu Lingyi kept thinking like this did she feel that the nausea churning in her stomach could be suppressed a little.
After the emperor came back from his morning court session, the first thing he did was to see Xu Lingyi.
"Your Majesty." Xu Lingyi's voice was filled with deep grievance, and her eyes were red.
The emperor saw her lying there weakly.
"My beloved." The emperor hugged her. "Are you still like this today?"
"Yeah." Xu Lingyi's voice was also very soft. "I feel dizzy and nauseous."
"Your father will enter the palace at noon today," the emperor said to cheer her up, "and then we'll invite your father to dine with us."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Xu Lingyi couldn't help vomiting again as soon as she finished speaking.
The emperor patted her back gently and said, "I have consulted the imperial physician. This symptom usually only lasts for one or two months. My dear concubine, please bear with it. It will be fine after a while. Thank you for your hard work. When our child is born in the future, I will help you teach him a lesson."
"Um."
Xu Lingyi didn't believe his nonsense. Whenever the emperor talked about children, a smile appeared on his face unconsciously.
Given the emperor's love and attention to the child, after the child was born, he did not want to teach him a lesson, saying that it was too late to have a baby in middle age.
"Today in the court, many people urged me to appoint a crown prince." The emperor changed the subject. Since she moved here, the emperor did not shy away from asking her about the affairs of state.
Xu Lingyi just listened and never expressed any opinions. Even if she said something, it was only to comfort the emperor.
"I have already adopted Li Xu as my adopted son, yet they are so impatient that they want me to make Li Xu the crown prince."
The emperor's face was filled with malice. "That Li Xu, he seemed quite clever before, but now he is just a short-sighted fool. If I allow such a person to ascend the throne, he will destroy my kingdom sooner or later. So I will get rid of him no matter what."
The emperor was becoming more and more displeased with Li Xu. In the emperor's eyes, this man was a villain who was competing with his son for the throne.
Before she even took action, Li Xu had become a thorn in the emperor's side.
Once the child is born, Li Xu will no longer be a threat to him.
The emperor held Xu Lingyi in his arms, patting her back gently. His tone was gentle, "My throne will only be left to our child. Let him enjoy his glory for a few days. I have long known that court officials have contacted him. If it were in the past, I would definitely take action, but now..."
Xu Lingyi understood what the emperor had not finished saying, and she had the same bad taste as the emperor.
She also wanted to see the ministers, and more importantly, she wanted to see Li Xu's expression and reaction after he knew she was pregnant.
He must be very uneasy.
After saying this, the emperor looked at Xu Lingyi's belly again: "I know my beloved concubine is working hard, but for the sake of our child, you still have to eat something."
Maybe she was feeling unwell. Although Aunt Zhang had told her this many times, she didn't reject it too much.
But when the emperor told her this, she felt extremely aggrieved. Perhaps the emperor was too good to her now, and she was a little arrogant because of his favor. Or perhaps it was because she was really unwell these days. She had never felt so uncomfortable since she was a child.
Because she was not feeling well, her mood was also very low.
Xu Lingyi lowered her head and stopped talking.
If she could eat, would she not eat? She is not a fool.
Even though she had already had such a hard time being pregnant, many of them only considered the baby in her belly.
The emperor saw her with her head down in silence, and when he lifted her chin, he discovered that her face was covered with tears.
"My beloved concubine?" The emperor was a little surprised. "What's wrong with you?"
Xu Lingyi shook her head.
Now she is just a concubine of the emperor. Everything she has in the harem depends on the emperor. Can she still say bad things about the emperor and get angry with him?
"Did I say something wrong?"
The emperor asked softly, recalling what he had just said, and began to explain, "I am not only concerned about the child. My beloved concubine and the child are one. I am also worried about my beloved concubine. I said the wrong thing, my beloved concubine, please don't hold it against me."
After the emperor said this, Xu Lingyi felt better.
"When your father comes later, he might think that I bullied you." The emperor held her face.
Xu Lingyi sniffed, "Your Majesty always bullies me."
The emperor nodded with a smile, "Yes, if I hadn't bullied you, how could my beloved concubine be pregnant with the emperor's child? After my beloved concubine gives birth, I will continue to bully you. My beloved concubine and I will work hard together in the future to give birth to more children for the emperor's children to keep company."
Xu Lingyi: “…”
It was noon soon, and Xu Lingyi was both excited and afraid.
She hadn't seen her father for a long time, and of course she was looking forward to meeting him, but at this moment she felt a little ashamed and scared.
After being reborn, she always felt that she was on the right path, but she felt embarrassed when she thought about facing her father.
The emperor is already thirty-six years old this year. He once fought on the battlefield alongside his father. They also studied together. They were both monarch and subject as well as good friends.
Although the emperor didn't know, she knew that she was the one who seduced the emperor, and now she was even pregnant with this old man's child.
The emperor also felt a little uncomfortable at this time. Before he met General Xu, he thought it was nothing.
He was the emperor, and there were concubines in the harem who were all seventeen or eighteen years old. It was nothing for him, an old cow, to eat young grass, but Xu Lingyi was like a young grass next to the kennel.
"Your Majesty, will my father say something bad about me?" Xu Lingyi held the emperor's hand, her tone a little timid.
The emperor also felt a little guilty. His best friend since childhood was now his nominal father-in-law.
Will we be brothers from now on or...
The emperor quickly shook his head and comforted Xu Lingyi: "Your father knew about our situation several months ago, but he didn't say anything. Don't worry."
————
When Father Xu came in, he saw his daughter, who was as timid as a quail, and the emperor holding her with his big hands.
He saw his beautiful young daughter standing side by side with the emperor who was already middle-aged.
Even if you have done a lot of ideological preparation along the way, remind yourself to stay calm.
But after seeing this scene, Xu's father still felt that flowers were stuck in cow dung.
