The emperor attached great importance to Concubine Chen's child because the eldest prince had average talent, the second prince was weak, and the eldest princess had a finger disease. He urgently needed a healthy prince to prove his ability in certain aspects.
And it was time for the court to appoint a crown prince.
Jiang Ying had no choice but to go forward as she was told. After Concubine Chen stretched out her hand and prepared, she gently placed her fingertips on it.
Concubine Chen looked at Jiang Ying, her charming eyes flickering with a smile. "Miss Ying, take your time and don't be in a hurry. Even if you can't see it, it doesn't matter. After all, even those old scholars in the Imperial Hospital can't see it. The Emperor won't embarrass a young girl like you."
"Isn't that right, Your Majesty?" Concubine Chen spoke to the emperor in a casual tone.
Everyone present was silent as a mouse, looking at their ears and noses, and thinking of themselves as if they were made of wood.
The emperor glanced at Jiang Ying, then smiled and put his arm around Concubine Chen's shoulders. "Yes, my beloved concubine always has me under his thumb. However, my beloved concubine is very proud, and there are very few women in the harem who can attract my beloved concubine. If you like her, I can make her a female official, and she can come in and out of the palace to talk with my beloved concubine to relieve her boredom."
"Look at what the emperor said," Concubine Chen laughed sweetly, "I'm the legitimate daughter of the Duke's Mansion. I've just been introduced to my family, and you're sending me into the palace to work. How inappropriate is that?"
The emperor was thoughtful, "My beloved concubine, what you said makes sense."
Jiang Ying concentrated on taking her pulse while listening to the two of them arguing back and forth about whether she should stay or go. To be honest, it was very annoying, but she also understood that this was inevitable.
In ancient times, imperial power was supreme. Not to mention her, even her father had to listen to the emperor!
While she was examining the patient, her brows unconsciously raised.
The emperor saw this and immediately asked, "How is it? Has the diagnosis been made?"
Jiang Ying thought of Eunuch Huang's symptoms. On the surface, it was a leg disease, but in fact it was a kidney disease. The emperor cared so much about Huang Mingquan that it was impossible for him not to ask the Imperial Hospital for a diagnosis. The reason why he said to keep half and half was actually to test her ability.
It is likely the same now.
Therefore, she was not too surprised and just asked casually, "Your Majesty, Concubine Chen is pregnant with not just one but two heirs, right?"
Upon hearing this, dozens of pairs of eyes around suddenly looked at Jiang Ying.
Even Concubine Chen herself was no exception, her charming eyes were filled with watery ripples.
She is four months pregnant.
No one knew she was pregnant with twins except Doctor Hu and the Emperor.
In a harem with few offspring, even a single pregnancy would attract a lot of attention, let alone twins. This was also a favor that Concubine Chen specifically asked the emperor for. Don't tell anyone until everyone sees it. As for when the belly can no longer be covered after six or seven months, let nature take its course!
I never thought that I would be exposed when I left the palace today on impulse.
Concubine Chen was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
The emperor was briefly surprised and then asked, "Why do you think so?"
It is not difficult to tell the pulse of twins, but it is definitely not easy for a novice. Many old guys in the Imperial Hospital have been practicing medicine for more than ten or twenty years, so they are also very cautious about such pulse conditions.
The emperor was really curious. Jiang Ying was only in his teens, so how could he have such a hard experience?
Is she really gifted?
Jiang Ying didn't want to say too much, mainly because she was sure that part of the reason was the outburst of her monkey son's inner thoughts.
So I briefly explained two sentences, the most important of which was the last sentence, "Your Majesty, not only did this humble servant diagnose Concubine Chen as being pregnant with twins, but there's a 99% chance they're a boy and a girl."
"Twins, a boy and a girl?" The emperor's tone suddenly rose, and he could hardly hide his surprise!
The ministers below were the best at guessing the monarch's thoughts, and they immediately smiled and congratulated him, "Congratulations, Your Majesty! Congratulations, Your Majesty! Not only have you achieved two goals at once, but these are also extremely rare twins, a boy and a girl. This is a once-in-a-century opportunity for the royal family. This is truly a great blessing! May God bless our Nanzhao!"
There was the first person at the beginning, and soon the second, the third...
Everyone was praising the emperor to the heavens, saying that it was his wisdom and bravery that moved the heavens, causing the Goddess of Childbirth to finally give birth to a son for Nan Zhao, and that the future achievements of this pair of twins, boy and girl, would surely be limitless.
It was fake, but the emperor was pleased with it. He couldn't suppress the smile on his face and asked Jiang Ying, "Jiang, are you sure?"
How can you be 100% sure about what's in your stomach?
B-ultrasounds can sometimes make mistakes.
But Jiang Ying remained calm, thinking about her son's words, and said in a resounding voice: "Your Majesty, I am sure of this!"
As soon as she finished speaking, the emperor actually turned around in a circle with joy.
If I wasn't worried about hurting the child, I would have picked up Concubine Chen!
"Alright! Huang Mingquan, reward Jiang! Oh no, not just Jiang, reward the Duke's Mansion as well, just as a gift to help with Jiang and my brother Zhuo's wedding!"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Ying subconsciously looked at Yan Zhuo who was standing beside her, and it turned out that the other party was also looking at her?
Their eyes met briefly in the air, and Jiang Ying looked away first.
I get a headache just seeing this guy...
After a moment, everyone realized that the emperor's words meant that Jiang Ying had returned to his clan, right?
Then, should the arranged marriage of the legitimate daughter of the Yu Jiang family be counted on the fake legitimate daughter Jiang Yilin, or on the real legitimate daughter who was living among the people?
Others didn't dare to ask, and it had nothing to do with them.
Luo Shi couldn't sit still, "Your Majesty, I, your majesty, have something I don't understand..."
"So she is Jiang Qing's first wife. Go ahead and ask her." The emperor still looked easy to talk to, especially his gentle gaze, which almost never left Concubine Chen.
This shows the anticipation for this baby.
Jiang Ying caught this and suddenly had a bold idea in his mind!
