The empress dowager was the same. Knowing that she couldn't eat, she specially hired many chefs. The imperial kitchen was researching dishes every day. So many chefs in the palace now only serve her.
As a result, the food quality in other palaces has declined significantly in recent days.
Many people in the palace had some guesses, but they all thought it was impossible, so they turned to other guesses.
There were various theories, but basically no one thought she was pregnant.
Xu Lingyi had been pregnant for more than three months. The Empress Dowager and the Emperor neither took the initiative to tell others nor deliberately concealed it.
They thought the outside world could guess it, it was already obvious.
But everyone just thought that she was scheming and had superb means. She could not only please the emperor, but now she had even won over the empress dowager.
The emperor sneered. In the minds of these people, they had already concluded that he was infertile and would never have children in this life.

When Xu Lingyi was almost five and a half months pregnant, her belly had already grown quite big, and her pregnancy was obvious even through her clothes.
She experienced morning sickness for almost two months during her pregnancy. After getting through this period, her appetite improved and her food intake returned to normal. She no longer vomited everything she ate.
Logically speaking, she had finally gotten through this period and thought that she would feel much more relaxed afterwards.
But now her belly has grown bigger than before. Not only is it inconvenient for her to move, but she can't wear many clothes at all.
"Your Majesty, I am running out of clothes so quickly. What shall I do for tomorrow's banquet? I don't have any nice clothes."
The emperor gently stroked her belly, thinking of the imperial physician's words that her pregnancy was fine.
She is completely different from the beauty a few years ago and will definitely give birth safely.
The emperor was genuinely happy, so his violent emotions subsided a lot during this period of time, and he often smiled when facing his ministers.
Not to mention Xu Lingyi, who lived in his palace. Except for going to the Empress Dowager's palace, the emperor never set foot in the harem.
"My beloved concubine's clothes can be made tonight. I'm afraid those old guys will be frightened when they see you tomorrow."
The emperor felt relieved when he thought of this scene.
During this period, Li Xu won over many ministers in the court.
Not only did he not take any action or blame his ministers, but he was rather gentle towards them.
Those shrewd ministers thought that this was his tacit approval.
Li Xu also thought so, and his behavior became more and more bold, and recently he even dared to form a clique for personal gain.
"Your Majesty, please find a chance to dig out his eyes. I still remember the way he looked at me last time. I didn't like it. Now I feel sick whenever I think of him, and I even have nightmares at night." Xu Lingyi said coquettishly.
