"Are you happy today?" Shu Chengfeng sat down.
"Very good, thank you Your Highness for the things you prepared for me, they are very useful." Yan Nangui said while combing her hair.
"That's good." Shu Chengfeng looked at her but didn't say anything more.
Yan Nangui glanced at him, then got up and washed her hands.
She sat down in his lap afterward and asked, "Why didn't you say anything when you came, Your Highness?"
"Isn't it a pleasure for a beautiful woman to dress up? Why bother talking?" Shu Chengfeng tucked her long hair behind his ear.
Yan Nangui smiled and thought to himself, "Go ahead and brag."
She could tell that Shu Chengfeng was in a bad mood.
This man was in a bad mood, and he actually came to her for a cure? That's really strange.
Yan Nangui didn't expose her true feelings: "Is Your Highness tired right now? Shouldn't you rest?"
Shu Chengfeng casually replied, "Then go to sleep."
The wild geese are returning south; I got up early today and must be tired.
So, regardless of what he said, they went to bed together to rest.
Once he got into bed, you knew this person was really there for treatment; it was absolutely insane.
Yan Nangui was also intrigued by him, and decided to take the initiative.
Shu Chengfeng probably wanted to do *that* but didn't want to put in the effort. Seeing that she took the initiative, he simply let her have her way.
What a lively fight between the fairies!
They fought until they were exhausted, but also until they were completely satisfied.
Shu Chengfeng called someone in to help him wash up, but he had no more energy left. No matter how he felt, his body was exhausted.
The two woke up after a nap, past their usual time for paying their respects.
Yan Nangui smacked his lips, but said nothing.
Shu Chengfeng ate breakfast before leaving.
Yan Nangui then instructed Jiangxiang to go to the main courtyard to inform her, at least to report the matter, so as not to arouse the Crown Princess's suspicion.
Jiangxiang went to the main courtyard but didn't see the Crown Princess. A maid came out and said she knew.
However, when crossing the Magnolia Bridge, I met Li Zhaoxun, who was out for a stroll.
Li Zhaoxun smiled and said, "Oh, isn't this Miss Jiangxiang? I didn't see Consort Yan this morning. Were you tired yesterday?"
That's a question that makes it hard to tell whether you were tired from going out yesterday or tired from serving the emperor last night.
"I have seen Consort Li. I missed paying my respects this morning, so I went to the main courtyard to ask for leave," Jiangxiang said.
Li Zhaoxun didn't dare to say anything more, so he just smiled and left.
Back at Jiyue Pavilion, Jiangxiang recounted what had happened.
Yan Nangui didn't care about Li Zhaoxun. There will always be people who say sarcastic things, and you can't stop them from saying them.
Before noon, Yan Nangui learned why Shu Chengfeng was in a bad mood.
Ye Liangdi is pregnant!
She only found out yesterday because her periods were irregular. She was already more than two months pregnant.
This happened in March. She only served the emperor once or twice in March, right?
Moreover, since Shu Chengfeng was wary of her, why would he let her get pregnant so easily?
The news broke out suddenly, and the Crown Prince's attitude was also...
Whether others could see it or not, Yan Nangui certainly could, and the Crown Prince was displeased.
At this moment, she couldn't help but overthink things. She was unhappy, yet he came to her place.
Is this a challenge for her to fight against Ye Liangdi?
Yan Nangui shook his head, denying himself once again.
That's impossible. Shu Chengfeng wouldn't ask her to fight Ye Liangdi right now.
Is that just acting on impulse?
Tsk.
"This morning, Consort Ye summoned the imperial physician, and Her Majesty the Empress also sent someone to see her. Now, news has also been sent to the Ye family. Judging from this scene, it's even more grand than when the Crown Princess was pregnant. I wonder what the Imperial Household Department is thinking," Chanyi said.
“This one’s tail is probably about to fly to the sky now,” Yan Nangui said.
"Yes, but... can the main courtyard just watch like this?" Chanyi whispered.
"Of course not, but... let's be careful," Yan Nangui said.
The atmosphere in Wenyue Pavilion was naturally one of great joy. Before, when things weren't entirely certain, the imperial physician hadn't said anything. The family physician, knowing her temperament, remained even more silent.
Now that it's confirmed, I dare to say it.
In the front courtyard, Shu Chengfeng, who had just returned from the palace, gently tapped the table: "Are you sure?"
Yun Ji lowered his head: "It's my fault for not handling things properly, that's confirmed..."
"March, March." Shu Chengfeng chuckled. "Just once, right? Never mind, she's been taking the medicine for two years, but it wasn't taken directly. It might have lost its effectiveness. Let's call Physician Hu over."
Soon, Physician Hu arrived.
Everyone assumed he was just concerned about Ye Liangdi's pregnancy.
After Physician Hu came to pay his respects, the Crown Prince didn't need to ask any more questions: "The medicine we used before was, after all, used indoors. It had some effect, but we couldn't guarantee it would be completely effective. Now that Consort Ye is pregnant, it means that the medicine is no longer effective."
"How is her pregnancy going?" Shu Chengfeng asked.
"Well... judging from the current situation, it's not very stable. After all, the medicine still has some effect, which is why it took so long to be noticed. The pulse is still disordered," said Physician Hu.
"In your opinion, is there anything wrong with this child?" Shu Chengfeng asked.
Physician Hu was startled: "This, I dare not say for sure, but... after all, using medicine may still have some adverse effects."
Shu Chengfeng was silent for a moment, then said, "Can medicine cure it?"
Physician Hu was sweating profusely, and he knelt down, saying, "Your Majesty, I am incompetent..."
"Alright, get up." He took a deep breath: "From now on, we won't need to prepare medicines like the Su family's anymore."
Physician Hu readily agreed.
"It's alright, go and collect your reward. Since Ye Liangdi's pregnancy is something to watch, let's just watch. Whatever happens, it's all up to her fate." Shu Chengfeng waved his hand.
Physician Hu thanked the emperor and left.
He didn't intend to cut off the Ye and Su families' offspring; he just didn't want them to have children too early.
Especially the Ye family.
She was foolish and stupid, but the Ye family was shrewd.
Since Lady Ye was not the Crown Princess, he did not want her to have a child first.
Otherwise, there will be another round of internal strife in the future.
But that kind of medicine isn't very effective, so let's just have the baby now that we have it.
The Ning family... can already be considered to have offspring.
Since we're going to have children anyway, let's all have them.
He just frowned slightly, utterly annoyed.
The infighting in the backyard is about to intensify.
He didn't particularly like having so many children. He'd seen enough of fratricide from His Majesty.
So many princes and princesses died in the palace, some without even a proper order of birth.
How many of them were truly in poor health? Aren't most of them just dying in fights?
What's the point of having so many children?
He knew very well that even if he became emperor, he probably wouldn't be a good father.
At that time, his offspring would fight amongst themselves again, so it would be better to have fewer children.
"Reward her."
Shu Chengfeng said this with absolutely no expression.
Yun Ji sighed inwardly, knowing he had no choice but to make the arrangements.
When Ye Liangdi became pregnant, the person who was most uncomfortable was naturally the head of the hospital.
She had just gotten a son from an illegitimate child and was raising him with her, but the Ye family was about to give birth?
At this moment, she certainly had no interest in caring whether Yan Nangui had left the manor early yesterday morning without paying his respects and only asked for leave afterward.
This matter is all she can think about.
