Xu Zhiyi didn't expect Lu Yan to be so quick. He had just told her last night and notified Doctor Wang this morning.
Doctor Wang was afraid that Concubine Xu would think too much, so he quickly replied:
"Your Majesty, you are in good health, and the heir in your belly is also doing well. There is no need to worry. However, Imperial Physician Gu and I feel that you may be carrying twins. I will report this to the Emperor later, and we will have a few more imperial physicians examine you."
Doctor Wang's attitude towards Concubine Xu has become more respectful. If it is twins, the probability of it being a boy is a little higher.
This is really a great joy.
Imperial Physician Wang and Imperial Physician Gu discussed who would report to the emperor, and finally decided to go together.
We share happiness and difficulties.
The two old men, both over fifty years old, went to see the emperor in high spirits and with great courage and determination.
The snow began to melt today, but they didn't feel a bit cold, and their hearts were full of warmth.
The emperor was reviewing memorials in the Qinzheng Hall. When he heard that Imperial Physician Wang and Imperial Physician Gu had arrived, he thought that something had happened to Concubine Xu and quickly sent someone to invite them in.
When the two men saw the emperor, they knelt down and said in unison:
"Your Majesty, Concubine Xu is suspected to be pregnant with twins. Please arrange for a few more imperial physicians to examine her together."
The emperor was stunned by the good news, and the brush in his hand drew a long line on the memorial.
Ever since Concubine Xu became pregnant, he rarely visited her.
The last time I went to Suiyuxuan, I was scolded by my mother.
Then I woke up in the middle of the night.
I didn't expect to give him such a big surprise.
He must have prayed for it at the temple, otherwise how could he have received such good news the next day?
The two imperial physicians said so, so there must be something. The subsequent addition of inviting a few more imperial physicians was just an old-fashioned excuse. However, he naturally would not care so much about such a happy event.
Lu Yan naturally knew that the imperial physician would come to see the emperor today, so he chose the time to hang around the emperor.
He listened to the imperial physician's words and clenched his fingers. It turned out to be true. He was going to have two children.
I suddenly felt a sour and bloated feeling in my heart.
The emperor said excitedly:
"Reward, give me a huge reward. Xiao Xiazi, quickly report to the Queen Mother. I'm going to Suiyuxuan right now."
The group headed to Suiyuxuan with the treasures that the emperor had found temporarily.
When they arrived at Suiyuxuan, Xu Zhiyi was slowly eating taro paste and purple sweet potato cake, watching the emperor and his entourage coming over.
She wanted to stand up and salute, but was held down by the emperor.
"I came here today just to see you. I told you long ago that there's no need for such grand ceremonies during pregnancy. Everything should be prioritized for the heir in your belly. The imperial physician said you're carrying twins. Did you know that?"
Xu Zhiyi lowered his eyes slightly.
"Your Majesty, I only found out this morning when the imperial physician took my pulse."
"I remember you said last time that you dreamt of a man and a woman?"
Xu Zhiyi didn't expect the emperor to have such a good memory. Anyway, she knew the gender of the baby in her belly, and it was a good omen for the dragon and phoenix to become a dragon, so she naturally enjoyed the treatment in advance, and she was very happy about it.
"Your Majesty, this is what I dreamed about, but I don't know if it's true."
I heard his voice before I saw him.
Before the emperor could speak, the empress dowager hurried in from outside.
As soon as she arrived, she heard them discussing dreams about pregnancy, something she had experience with.
"When the emperor was still in my belly, I dreamed of a little boy. Sure enough, this pregnancy dream is extremely accurate."
"Yes, yes, it worked for both children, so the gender must be accurate too."
"Yes, yes, the emperor is right. If anyone has upset you recently, or if you need anything, please tell me."
After saying that, he looked around.
This Sui Yuxuan is much more luxurious than the previous one. It must be the emperor's reward during this period.
It is completely different from the tiny place it was before.
The Queen Mother nodded with satisfaction. This was the treatment worthy of Huai Longsi. Otherwise, if word got out, people would say that they were mistreating their own people.
Thinking of this, he took off a crystal sapphire bracelet from his wrist and stuffed it into Xu Zhiyi's hand.
"This was given to me by the late emperor when I was pregnant with the emperor. Now that you are pregnant, I will give it to you as a good omen. You are not allowed to refuse it."
Xu Zhiyi wanted to push it back, but then retracted his hand and had to accept it.
"Your Majesty, I think it's time to raise Concubine Xu's rank."
"Indeed, then you will be conferred the title of Imperial Concubine immediately."
He originally wanted to wait until Xu Zhiyi's child was born to see the gender before making a decision, but now he thinks it's a good omen to seal it first.
Xu Zhiyi can have her first child now, and she can have her second child after she gives birth. Of course, the more children, the better.
But in this case, the Queen should also be warned.
The great news that Concubine Xu was pregnant with twins and was named a noble concubine naturally spread quickly in the palace. After hearing it, the queen threw the ruby hairpin in her hand to the ground.
Banxia, who was standing next to him, saw that her master was angry, so she hurried forward and asked everyone else to leave.
While massaging the queen's shoulders, he comforted her:
"She hasn't given birth yet, who knows if she can give birth? Aren't there many people who didn't give birth in the past? Twins are even harder to give birth to."
"It's just that the Empress broke something, which is not a big deal. If the Queen Mother hears about it, and Concubine Xu has a stomachache, it will be blamed on you."
The queen was also furious and lost control for a moment.
Originally, he wanted to wait for Concubine Xu to give birth to a prince, and then bring the prince home to raise under his lap.
But what if the baby is a boy and a girl? What should I do?
How come she is so lucky?
I'm so angry.
When Xu Zhiyi heard the emperor say that he had been promoted, he stood up pretentiously and wanted to salute the emperor.
Naturally, it was suppressed by the emperor again.
"I'm very busy with government affairs and usually can't take care of you. If you need anything in your life, just go to Lu Yan. I've given him full authority. If you have any problems, I'll ask him."
"Yes, Your Majesty, I will take good care of myself."
"Are you used to the food recently? Do you want me to find you two more cooks?"
The most important things are food, clothing and shelter. Clothing and shelter are good as long as you can see them.
"Your Majesty, I am now very satisfied with the chef's cooking skills."
The emperor and the empress dowager checked again and left together after finding that there was no problem.
The emperor was silent on his way back.
The empress dowager naturally saw the emperor's doubts at a glance.
"The Emperor is wondering what would happen if Concubine Xu was carrying two boys or two girls?"
Seeing the emperor's eyes pause slightly, she knew she had guessed right.
The Queen Mother continued:
