The next day!
When the emperor returned from court, he heard the news that Princess Jingning was ill again. The emperor put down what he was doing and hurried to Concubine Chun.
"How is Ning'er?"
"Your Majesty, Ning'er has a fever. It's my fault for not taking good care of her."
The emperor took Jingning from Concubine Chun's arms and held her in his arms. The child was too light.
"Don't blame yourself. I'll take her to the Queen Mother's place."
"Your Majesty, what do you mean? Ning'er is my daughter. Why are you taking her away? Ning'er~ Ning'er~"
"Noble Concubine, please be careful with your words and actions. I am only taking her to the Queen Mother to get a peace amulet. What are you doing?"
"Take the amulet. Your Majesty, please forgive me. I misunderstood."
The emperor took Jingning to the empress dowager, and after sitting down, he calmly called out "Jingning."
He always knew that the imperial concubine would ask Jingning to pretend to be sick to gain his sympathy.
But every time he went there, the child would feel a little hot. He also asked the imperial physician Jingning about her health many times, and he found that the child was indeed weak and prone to illness.
Thinking that the child was still young and needed his biological mother, he would have taken Jingning away long ago.
"Father, I..."
She felt that her father was very smart and it was impossible that he didn't notice it every time.
"Tell the truth to your father, do you still want to stay with your mother?"
Jingning thought for a long time and nodded. When her mother was not fierce, she was very gentle and loved her very much.
"Father is giving you a chance. If you want to leave your mother, you can choose to live with your grandmother or with your mother. Your mother is still your mother."
Jingning hesitated. It would be fine if she was still her mother, but she probably wouldn't agree.
In the end, she shook her head, and he asked Shunde to send the person back personally.
The Empress Dowager came from Jingning without saying a word. She had heard something about this matter. After all, he was the only child in the palace, so who wouldn't love him?
But Concubine Chun kept a close eye on her and would not let her out unless necessary.
Perhaps Concubine Chun was also protecting her, but the nature of the situation seemed to have changed now.
"Emperor, I know you were snatched away from me by the late emperor's concubines when you were a child, leaving you with regrets. But look at what Ning'er has become. You should think carefully about this. This is the only child in the palace who has truly been born."
"I know that if it weren't for her contribution in giving birth to Ning'er, she would have been deposed long ago."
The emperor was in a bad mood today. After arriving at Chuxiu Palace, Rong Xi still discovered that something was wrong with the emperor.
"Your Majesty, what's wrong with you? You're not happy."
"It's okay, did the child bother you?"
Jiang Rongxi is now five months pregnant, and the emperor's most common thing to do every day is to listen to the little one's movements.
Rong Xi is now very generous and allows the emperor to touch his belly every night before going to bed.
One night, the emperor went to listen as usual, but he felt the fetus moving, as if the baby had kicked him.
"Xi'er, this..."
Jingning was born so long ago that she has forgotten what fetal movements are like.
"Don't be afraid, Your Majesty. This is fetal movement. The imperial physician says it's normal."
"Does it hurt?"
Rong Xi felt it carefully and said, "It doesn't hurt."
.
The fact that Rong Xi was pregnant was no longer a secret. When the ministers found out, some were happy while others were sad.
They had already made all the necessary preparations for the adoption, but now that someone in the palace was pregnant, all their preparations would be useless.
It was only at this time that the Jiang family found out that the daughter who was casually sent to the palace was actually pregnant with the emperor's child, and it was like a flood of wealth that came to them.
Many ministers vied with each other to congratulate them. If they had a prince in the future, their Jiang family would probably have a queen.
The Jiang family's door has been knocked down these days, all of them are here to propose marriage to Jiang Rongzhi.
Minister Jiang accepted everyone who came and made many promises.
But he completely forgot that he had left that daughter on the farm since she was a child.
Madam Jiang also sent a letter to visit the palace. This should have been everything to her daughter Rong Zhi, but now it has fallen into the hands of this bitch.
.
The emperor returned from court early that morning and as soon as he arrived at the gate of Chuxiu Palace, he saw several imperial doctors waiting at the door.
His brain seemed to have crashed and his feet instantly lost strength.
What happened to Xier? Why are there so many imperial doctors waiting outside?
He didn't care about the people following him, and pushed aside several imperial doctors and ran in.
Before the imperial doctors had time to pay their respects, His Majesty disappeared.
The emperor rushed in and saw Rong Xi leaning on the couch with a pale face.
"Xi'er, what happened? Are you feeling unwell somewhere? Is your stomach upset or..." He wanted to ask if something happened to the child, but he didn't dare to ask.
When the imperial physician beside him saw the emperor coming, he couldn't even get a word in.
Before Jiang Rongxi could say anything, the emperor turned to Jiang Yuanpan, who was lying on the ground. "What happened? Is Rongpin feeling unwell? Is there something wrong with the child? Or something else..."
Seeing that he was indeed anxious, Rong Xi pulled his hand over, lifted the quilt and placed his hand on his stomach.
"Your Majesty, the child is fine, don't worry."
Rong Xi's words finally brought the emperor back to his senses, but he still didn't understand why there were so many imperial doctors outside.
Judge Jiang finally found the opportunity to explain, "Your Majesty, I've noticed some differences in your pulse these past few days, but today it was especially noticeable."
"Speak human language."
…
"This humble official and all the imperial physicians agree that Concubine Rong is pregnant with twins."
Twins are considered unlucky, and this is a taboo in every dynasty and generation.
That's why the imperial doctors confirmed it again and again.
"real?"
Imperial Physician Jiang couldn't tell whether His Majesty was happy or angry, so he could only say "Yes" in a serious tone.
"Okay, rewards. Everyone present today will receive a reward."
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace."
The emperor was really happy. When the imperial physician mentioned twins, he also thought of the prophecy about twins, but these were not a problem at all in the current situation.
What makes people even happier is that he suddenly has two more children.
He thought that maybe this was God's mercy, and he would be willing to have only this one child.
I didn't expect Xier to give him such a big gift.
Jiang Rongxi had never heard of the rumor about twins. She had known for a long time that there were two children in her belly, and she had always been talking about them, not him.
The emperor really thought that Jiang Rongxi couldn't explain it clearly. Although he thought her belly was indeed frighteningly big, he had never seen how big the belly of a normal pregnant woman in the fourth or fifth month was in these years.
The Empress Dowager also heard that there were many imperial doctors guarding Chuxiu Palace. She couldn't find out what had happened, so she rushed over anxiously.
After learning that they were twins, she had the same idea as the emperor.
"Xi'er, you've worked hard."
I don’t know when it started, but the Empress Dowager, the Empress, and the Consort all followed the Emperor in calling Jiang Rongxi Xier.
Rong Xi didn't feel it was particularly friendly, as long as he knew that he was being called.
