Chapter 12: Beautiful Daughter vs. Heirless Emperor 12
Ji Yunhuan felt a little itchy from being touched, and twisted her body uncomfortably, "Sir, stop making trouble, there are people watching us."
Doctor Li stood in the corner like a wooden stake, wishing he didn't have ears.
The emperor held Ji Yunhuan in his arms without hesitation, as if he was holding some rare treasure, and was reluctant to let go for a moment.
"Don't be afraid, Huan'er. I will always be with you."
Ji Yunhuan couldn't break free and could only let the emperor hold her in his arms, pretending to be touched.
The imperial doctors in the palace were all shrewd and overly cautious. They would not tell anyone even after they diagnosed a pregnancy. She could only pretend to be stupid.
After much difficulty, Liu Dewang finally arrived with a group of imperial physicians, followed by a few folk gynecologists.
After the imperial physicians took turns to diagnose, everyone had a frown on their face and exchanged glances with each other, but no one said a definite word.
Finally, it was the turn of the folk doctor, an old doctor with white hair and beard, who took the patient's pulse and smiled.
"Congratulations, sir. Madam is pregnant!"
Ji Yunhuan felt the emperor's body trembling, and although he tried his best to suppress his voice, she could still hear the sob in his voice.
"What did you say? Say it again! Are you sure you didn't make a mistake?"
The old doctor did not know the emperor's identity. He angrily threw his sleeves, puffed his beard and glared:
"Since you don't trust me, why did you ask me to come? I have been practicing medicine for decades, how could I misdiagnose a pregnancy pulse?"
The emperor tried his best to maintain his outward calm. Only Ji Yunhuan, who was closest to him, noticed that his eyes were slightly red and tears were welling up in them. He opened his mouth several times but no sound came out.
Liu Dewang was worthy of being the first person in front of His Majesty, and he quickly recovered from his shock.
"The rest of you should also come forward and feel the pulse. If it is indeed a happy pulse, you will be rewarded handsomely!"
Several folk doctors were honest and quick to diagnose the patient's pregnancy without any unnecessary complications.
"Congratulations, sir. Madam has been pregnant for more than a month."
"This is a sign of slippery pulse, and Madam is in good health, so Master, don't worry."
"Madam is a blessed person. The pregnancy is very good. If nothing unexpected happens, the birth will be smooth."
Liu Dewang finally felt relieved, knelt down with a plop, and said loudly:
"Congratulations, Your Majesty. Your Majesty is blessed with great fortune. You will surely have many descendants and the Great Zhao Kingdom will prosper for thousands of years! Long live Your Majesty!"
Imperial Doctor Li immediately knelt down with a group of imperial doctors and shouted "Long live the emperor!"
Several civilian doctors also knelt down one after another, and some even dared to look up at the emperor. It was really a miracle that smoke came out of their ancestral graves, as they actually saw the living emperor.
The emperor finally found his voice. He waved his hand, and the joy on his face could not be hidden.
"Reward! Double the reward! Send these folk doctors back safely, don't scare them."
"If this baby can be born successfully, the entire Imperial Hospital will be heavily rewarded. If anything goes wrong, you will lose your heads!"
"Don't play tricks on me. If my child is gone, none of you will be able to escape!"
"Don't let this matter be disclosed. You are here to see me today. Do you understand?"
"I understand!" The imperial doctors retreated in unison.
Liu Dewang also left with the civilian doctor, leaving only Ji Yunhuan and the emperor in the room.
Ji Yunhuan seemed to have just recovered from her shock. She struggled to get out of bed and salute the emperor. The emperor pressed her down on the bed and soothed her gently:
"No need to be so polite. I like you so much that I kept it a secret from you. I was afraid you would be scared and not dare to tell me your true feelings."
"No matter what your status is, Huan'er doesn't care. What Huan'er likes is you. It has nothing to do with your status. I am very happy to be able to bear children for you."
The emperor was so excited that he hugged Ji Yunhuan and laughed happily.
"I have a child! My kingdom has a successor! Huan'er, you are such a treasure. You don't know how much I am looking forward to this child. I am so happy, hahaha..."
Before Ji Yunhuan could say anything, the emperor picked him up and spun him around several times.
She was so frightened that she slapped the emperor's arm in a rebellious manner, and cried out, "Put me down! You will scare the child."
The emperor carefully placed Ji Yunhuan on the bed. He was as helpless as a young boy and was even afraid to touch Ji Yunhuan.
"Yes, yes, Huan'er is right. We must not scare the child. I will be careful in the future and will not let you get into any trouble."
Ji Yunhuan chuckled and took the emperor's hand and placed it on her belly.
"Your Majesty, rest assured. Huan'er will protect our child well. Even if Huan'er risks his life, he will not let our child get hurt..."
The emperor blocked her mouth, kissed her gently and then separated, "Don't talk nonsense, you and the child must be fine,
You still have to teach him to read and write, and watch him grow up..."
A man and a woman snuggled in bed, chatting about some gossip about their children, just like an ordinary couple.
After Ji Yunhuan fell asleep, the emperor was so excited that he could not sleep all night. He would touch Ji Yunhuan beside him every once in a while and look at her belly.
He had been waiting for too long, so long that he had lost hope. Now that his dream had come true, he felt it was a little unreal. He was afraid that as soon as he closed his eyes, Ji Yunhuan and the child would disappear.
The next morning, the Queen Mother arrived.
The empress dowager originally wanted to rush over overnight, but it was only after Nanny Yan persuaded her again and again that she reluctantly waited until dawn.
The Queen Mother also did not sleep all night, but she was in good spirits, even more energetic than before, and even the fine lines at the corners of her eyes showed joy.
The emperor finally has a son! Master Huikong's calculations were correct. The emperor will definitely have many sons. She can finally rest assured.
Ji Yunhuan personally served tea to the Empress Dowager. Her gentle and quiet appearance was particularly endearing.
"I pay my respects to Her Majesty the Queen Mother..."
As soon as Ji Yunhuan knelt down, he was helped up by Nanny Yan who was beside the empress dowager.
The Queen Mother took her hand and looked at her carefully, with a kind smile on her face. She didn't act like a Queen Mother at all, but rather like an elder chatting with her.
"I have never seen such a well-dressed girl. She looks like a fairy from heaven. It is obvious that she is blessed. Not to mention the emperor, I like her very much when I see her."
"The emperor is fooling around. He should have taken you into the palace a long time ago. Today, I am the master of the house. You can return to the palace with me."
