In no time, the entire hot month of July had passed.
The temperature starts to change from the beginning of the eighth month of the lunar calendar.
The seasons change quickly, and suddenly it's not so hot anymore.
The plan is to return to the palace before the fifteenth.
Just before returning to the palace, Mei Lingyi announced her pregnancy. Less than two months along.
This happened right after His Majesty returned from Meng Haijiang, but during that time His Majesty only visited her twice this time.
However, given Mei Lingyi's current favor with the emperor, as long as there are no health problems, pregnancy is almost certain.
Mei Lingyi's pregnancy immediately overshadowed Song Baolin's fame.
This completely changed the atmosphere of the entire harem.
This person is truly favored, and also very low-key. Now that she has a child, she's bound to be promoted.
Suddenly, the wind shifted again.
The war in Menghai is now one-sided, with Daya having the support of the imperial court, making him increasingly brave in battle.
The imperial court also took the opportunity to introduce many policies that would allow the people of Menghaijiang to have a more comfortable life.
Everything is turning out for the better.
More than two years have passed in the blink of an eye.
In the past two years, Song Baolin gave birth to her fifth princess and was promoted to the rank of Consort Song.
Mei Lingyi also gave birth to the sixth prince prematurely and successfully rose to the rank of Consort Mei.
The war in Menghai has been completely quelled, and now peace and tranquility prevail.
This year, it was time for generals from all over the country to come to the capital to report on their duties. It was March, and a banquet was held in the Beichen Hall, where the Yan family father and son, General Huo, and generals from various regions were all present.
They raised their glasses in a toast.
The Empress Dowager, the Empress, and everyone else in the harem were present.
Because the cleanup of the Meng Haijiang war took more than half a year, Wei Xiao is now a general in his own right.
The court officials were also present, making it seem like a grand banquet.
Currently, among the women in the harem, Consort Wan is pregnant and has been carrying a child for over eight months; she is about to give birth.
It was the third month of spring in the seventh year of the Jingjing era.
Everyone had changed out of their heavy spring clothes, and each one of them looked as beautiful as a flower.
After drinking a few cups of wine, Yan Nangui felt extremely dizzy and sleepy, and he was almost unable to control himself.
The upper and lower eyelids are fighting fiercely.
Having no other choice, she stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I am not feeling well. Please allow me to take my leave."
Shu Chengfeng was smiling when he glanced at her and asked, "What's wrong?"
"I feel extremely dizzy," Yan Nangui said.
"If Consort Chen is not feeling well, then she should go back first," the Empress Dowager said with a kind smile.
Their father and brothers are downstairs, so it's not appropriate to say anything.
"Yunji, escort Consort Chen back to rest," Shu Chengfeng said.
Yun Ji hurriedly agreed.
After leaving Beichen Palace and boarding the carriage, Yan Nangui leaned against it and fell asleep.
Jiang Xiang has several people who are quite worried.
They returned to Zhaochun Palace and hurriedly summoned the imperial physician.
When Physician Huang arrived, Yan Nangui was fast asleep and knew nothing.
Yunji dared not leave, waiting for Physician Huang to take his pulse.
Actually, Yan Nangui didn't drink much either.
“Our Lady has always been a good drinker; she’s only had three cups, and it’s not even strong liquor,” Jiangxiang said urgently.
After Physician Huang switched hands, he waited for a while longer.
"Did Your Majesty change her clothes last month?" Physician Huang asked.
“This… Our Lady is not usually very accurate. She hasn’t changed her clothes for forty-nine days, as has happened before. Moreover, the imperial physician came to check her pulse seven days ago.” Chanyi said, her heart pounding.
Imperial Physician Huang nodded: "Consort Chen used to... used to harm her health. Although she has been taking good care of herself over the years, her menstrual cycle has always been irregular. That's why you might not have noticed that she hasn't changed her clothes. Has she been feeling sleepy lately? Craving something to eat? Feeling hot?"
"Yes, we have them all!" Chanyi and Jiangxiang exchanged a glance, both beaming with joy.
"That's it, Her Majesty is pregnant. The imperial physicians didn't notice before because the pregnancy was too early. Now she should be almost two months pregnant. The pregnancy is stable," Imperial Physician Huang said with a smile.
He has been taking care of this lady's health since she was in the manor. From being riddled with illness to now, he has truly helped her recover step by step.
It can be very rewarding.
Surprisingly, this person actually did have one.
"Really!" Jiang Xiang exclaimed with delight.
Physician Huang laughed and said, "It's absolutely true."
"Thank you very much, Physician Huang!"
"Don't mention it, I'll tell the girls some things to be careful about."
Jiangxiang and Chanyi listened with delight.
Before long, everyone in Zhaochun Palace knew that the Empress was pregnant, and they were naturally overjoyed.
In recent years, the Empress has been very favored, but she has no children and is always alone.
Now that we have it, isn't everyone happy?
Yun Ji also stared wide-eyed, quite incredulous.
Physician Huang left with a large reward, and even Yun Ji was stuffed with a big purse.
Yun Ji returned to the Beichen Palace and whispered a few words to His Majesty.
The crowd below could clearly see His Majesty laughing.
The Empress, who was nearby, asked, "Is there some good news? Your Majesty, don't just be happy for yourself, make everyone happy too."
"Hahaha! It's good news! It's good news! General, I also want to have a drink with you. Consort Chen is pregnant, almost two months along. This is truly joyous news!" Shu Chengfeng laughed.
Yan Lingyun was taken aback, then quickly stood up and raised his cup: "Your Majesty, I congratulate you."
"Hahaha, this is my joyous occasion, and it is also your joyous occasion. Come, let us drink this cup together." Shu Chengfeng said, tilting his head back and drinking a cup.
Yan Lingyun hurriedly drank it too. He was also quite dazed. Was Nan Gui pregnant?
Everyone was stunned, and various thoughts raced through their minds.
The Empress felt extremely bitter and raised her cup, saying, "Your Majesty, I congratulate you."
