Chapter 1095: Grand Finale: Return of the Old Friend (3)
Shen Miao clenched her fist, then quickly opened it again, saying, "This subject doesn't know either."
"Quick, call the imperial physician!" Empress Xian De stood up a little excitedly and called Aunt Tao, "Bring me this invitation and ask the imperial physician to come over!"
Shen Miao looked at the tea on the table, but was shocked.
She had been pregnant before, so she couldn't really tell if she was pregnant. Since Xie Jingxing had only been gone for a dozen days, and her periods had always been unreliable, she didn't take it seriously. She just thought she had caught a cold, but who knew... Now that she thought about it, she realized that her appetite had indeed become a little strange recently.
But I'm still a little undecided.
Shen Miao's heart was also agitated. The word "child" seemed too far away to her. She was a little afraid, terrified that the child would come into the world and face the suffering and joys and sorrows of the world, and that she might not be omnipotent and unable to protect them completely. On the other hand, she was also very eager for the child's arrival.
If she comes, this will be the best gift God has given her in this life.
The imperial physician hurried over soon. Empress Xian De seemed even more excited than Shen Miao, and asked the imperial physician to take Shen Miao's pulse immediately.
The white-bearded imperial physician took Shen Miao's pulse and pondered for a long time before standing up. He bowed to Shen Miao and then to Empress Xian De, smiling and saying, "Congratulations, Princess. Your pulse is like a rolling bead, indicating a happy pulse. Princess, I'm afraid you've been pregnant for over a month, and the Prince's Mansion is going to have a baby."
Shen Miao was still a little bit incredulous, she asked: "Really?"
Empress Xian De rarely saw Shen Miao in such a confused state, so she laughed. She pretended to be serious and said, "My dear Princess, I'm asking you this, but it's true. If you are wrong, you will be severely punished!"
The white-bearded imperial physician smiled and said, "I dare not lie. If your Highness does not believe me, please ask a few more people to come and take a look."
This was originally a joke, but Shen Miao said, “Okay, then please invite a few more people to take a look.”
The imperial physician was shocked.
Empress Xian De was overjoyed, knowing that Shen Miao was unwilling to believe it and insisted on repeated confirmation. However, when she was pregnant, she was also unconvinced. Thinking of herself, her eyes darkened for a moment, but then she quickly recovered and said with a smile: "Then do as the princess said and invite a few more doctors."
Empress Xian De really took good care of Shen Miao. She had indeed invited several imperial physicians to take Shen Miao's pulse. The results of the pulse examinations were all exactly the same. Shen Miao was indeed over a month pregnant.
This was truly a coincidence. Just after Xie Jingxing left, Shen Miao became pregnant within a few days. After all, being alone at least made one feel less lonely. However, it could also make one feel even lonelier.
Empress Xian De was overjoyed. The entire imperial family only had two brothers, Emperor Yongle and Xie Jingxing. Emperor Yongle had no children, so the Xie family had no younger generations. The one Shen Miao was carrying was the first younger generation of the Xie family. Empress Xian De had Emperor Yongle invited as well.
When Emperor Yongle heard the news, he was also somewhat incredulous. Empress Xian De smiled and said, "Just think about it, one day there will be a little boy or girl who calls you Imperial Uncle and me Imperial Aunt. Wouldn't that be interesting?"
"What's the point?" Emperor Yongle still felt a little awkward. He didn't really like Shen Miao, as she had even argued with Xie Jingxing because of her. However, Emperor Yongle had never been able to change Xie Jingxing's mind, and since he couldn't do anything about Xie Jingxing, he also had a somewhat skeptical attitude towards Shen Miao.
"You," Empress Xian De glanced at him, "this can be considered a happy event for our royal family. It would be great if the princess could give birth to more children in the future. It would be so lively in the prince's mansion." There was a bit of envy in her eyes. Obviously, Empress Xian De also liked children very much.
