She had known she was pregnant for a long time, and she had been waiting for people around her to find out.
She pretended to be surprised and said, "You mean...I..."
After a moment of surprise, she calmed down again and said, "It doesn't necessarily mean that you are pregnant. You can ask the imperial physician to take a look. Don't hold your hopes too high."
"Yes, my lady!"
Suqiu responded happily, then immediately ran out of the hall and asked the eunuch outside to call the imperial physician.
By the time the imperial physician arrived, Suqiu and several palace maids who were in charge of combing Zhu Wuhuan's hair had already dressed him neatly.
Zhu Wuhuan came to the outer room and leaned gently on the small couch.
Doctor Chen knelt down and kowtowed while holding his medicine box.
"My Lady, please place your wrist on the pulse pillow."
He took out the pulse pillow and placed it on the small table.
Zhu Wuhuan asked someone to give him a seat, and then he put his hand on it.
Doctor Chen sat on a small stool, squinting his eyes as he felt the Empress's pulse. He initially thought she was feeling unwell, but when he felt her pulse, he felt something...
He suddenly opened his eyes and stared at the Empress' wrist!
Hmm? Smooth as a ball...
Although the feeling was still very weak, he was 60% sure!
He suppressed his excitement, withdrew his hand, saluted Zhu Wuhuan, called Su Qiu, and asked her a few questions in a low voice.
He finally felt relieved after learning from Suqiu that the Empress's period had indeed not come!
He lifted his robe and plopped to his knees, excitedly saying, "Your Majesty, great news! You must be pregnant, but it's still early, and your pulse isn't clear yet! This concerns the heir to the throne, so Your Majesty, please summon all the doctors from the Imperial Hospital to take my pulse and make sure I haven't misdiagnosed you!"
When the palace maids and eunuchs serving in the room heard this, they all looked delighted!
The Empress is pregnant, and the Emperor has a successor. This is a happy event for the royal family and for the Daning Dynasty!
They all knelt down and kowtowed excitedly, "Congratulations, Her Majesty the Queen! Congratulations, Her Majesty the Queen!"
Zhu Wuhuan, who had known about this for a long time and was not surprised, also showed some joy at the right time.
What a joke! How dare you be unhappy when you are pregnant with the emperor's child? Are you tired of living?
She raised her hand and pressed her belly, pretending to be very surprised, "I am really pregnant?"
Doctor Chen gave a positive answer.
She happily glanced at the palace maids who were kowtowing to her and said quickly, "Go get two more imperial physicians. Imperial Physician Chen is right. This is a matter concerning the heir to the throne, and there can be no mistakes!"
Immediately, several clever palace servants stood up and ran outside.
Not only did they run to the Imperial Hospital, some of them also took a detour and ran to the front hall.
The Emperor has been childless since he came of age, and the Empress is pregnant. This is a legitimate son and the eldest son. Such a big happy event must be let the Emperor know immediately!
...front hall.
Feng Changye sat on the dragon throne, looking at the group of ministers showing off in front of him, his face very ugly.
The ministers noticed that the emperor was in a bad mood, but they didn't care.
The emperor thought that by punishing Zhang Zhennan, he could frighten them and make them shut up, and no one would dare to persuade him to treat everyone equally?
Yes, they didn’t dare to persuade the emperor to treat everyone equally, but they tried to persuade him in a different way!
Today, led by the left and right prime ministers, they chatted with the emperor in the court about family matters and showed off their children.
They called it a disguised way of urging the emperor to have a baby—
"Your Majesty, do you think I look younger these past few days?"
The Left Prime Minister stroked his beard and said with a smile.
"Alas, it's all thanks to my son. I already have three legitimate grandchildren and two legitimate granddaughters, but my daughter-in-law wasn't feeling well a few days ago, and when the doctor came, she was pregnant again!"
He was smiling from ear to ear, looking very proud.
"In a few months, my family will have another child. I'm so happy. When I'm happy, won't I look younger?"
Having said that, he became a little sad.
"Alas, speaking of which, the late emperor and I are about the same age. If he were still alive, I wonder how jealous he would be to see that my family has another child."
He praised his promising son, and then looked at Feng Changye with a subtle look as if he was looking at a "disappointing child".
Almost said it explicitly—
Your Majesty, please show some courage. If you don't give birth to a child, the late emperor would be so angry that he would open his coffin and curse at you!
“…” Feng Changye felt extremely aggrieved.
He was not done feeling frustrated yet, because another fifty-year-old man spoke up.
"Your Majesty, do you think I'm getting old again? Alas, it's all because I have too many grandchildren at home! With so many of them, they become so naughty that it's a headache!"
"As for the little ones, they open their arms and insist on being held by me all day long, and as for the big ones, they insist on holding my hands so I can play with them!"
"Girls want me to accompany them to catch butterflies and swing on the swings, while boys want me to accompany them to catch crickets and play Cuju..."
"Oh, I am already so old, how can I stand their noise? I dare not go home every day, for fear of their noise!"
"But then again, even though it's a bit noisy, it's a lively place at home!"
"Unlike some families, there are no children at home, and the adults just stare at each other all day long. It's so lonely, I feel sorry for them!"
As soon as the old man finished his sarcastic words, all the civil and military officials in the court began to echo him.
Some say that their own families are lively and lively because they have children, while others say that their neighbors’ families are lonely and pitiful because they have no children.
And while he was saying this, he secretly glanced at Feng Changye who was sitting on the dragon throne!
One by one, they wanted to make it clear that they disliked him for not having children yet!
"..." Feng Changye's face was dark and he was very annoyed!
How could he have such a group of ministers!
hateful!
Being frightened by him, I couldn't openly persuade him to treat everyone equally, so I came to show off my children to him in different ways every day, just short of telling him openly -
We have babies and you don’t!
We have grandchildren, but the late emperor did not!
You are such an incompetent emperor. If you don’t give birth to a child, the late emperor will be pissed off to death by you!
“…” He felt so frustrated every day, but he couldn’t punish them.
After all, they just wanted to share some interesting stories about their family with him, the emperor. How could he get angry and punish them for no reason?
If you lose your temper at will, wouldn’t that make you a tyrant?
He held it in and endured it every day, feeling that he would explode sooner or later!
How could he not be furious? Every day he was angered by the Queen in the harem and by the ministers in the court. No one would let him go!
Listening to the ministers below talking more and more excitedly, he could hardly control his temper and got mad at them!
At this moment, Xie Hong, the trusted guard, suddenly walked into the hall quickly, knelt on one knee, and shouted in surprise—
"Your Majesty, someone from the side hall said that the Empress is pregnant!"
"What?"
Feng Changye was full of surprise and stood up suddenly!
The imperial physician finally found out that the queen was pregnant!
Very good!
He glanced at the ministers below who were all stunned by the good news, and suddenly felt happy and proud.
You are a bunch of bastards. You come here every day to complain about me not having children, right?
Oh, I have a baby now!
And they are smarter, prettier and more lovable than your kids!
"I'm going to see the Queen now!"
He glanced proudly at the civil and military officials, and immediately ran to the back, completely losing the usual composure of an emperor.
He is so happy!
His little prince is truly a fairy boy, he is here to save his father from danger!
He simply loves his little prince to death!
