Shu Chengfeng was completely shocked, his face changed, and he was about to go inside.
Yun Ji pulled her back, saying, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please slow down, don't frighten Consort Chen."
Shu Chengfeng glared angrily, then pushed open the door and went inside.
But in the end, he didn't get angry: "What nonsense are you talking about? How can you say such things?"
Yan Nangui was still confused, only blinking and not saying a word.
Shu Chengfeng went over and put his arm around her: "You're fine. Doctor Huang said the pregnancy is stable and everything is fine. How can you say such things? It will make the baby feel bad."
"Oh." Yan Nangui was still not in a daze.
The main problem is that she never thought about having children herself.
I always thought I would never get pregnant again, how come I suddenly got pregnant after all these years?
This is incredible.
So, despite His Majesty's anxiety and anger, she just couldn't come to her senses.
Shu Chengfeng spoke several sentences, but Yan Nangui responded very slowly.
Gradually, Shu Chengfeng's anger dissipated.
Thinking about how she'd been with him for so many years and always thought he couldn't have children, and then suddenly she was pregnant, he was caught off guard and said those confused things.
Seeing her like this, he didn't want to say anything more.
"Your mistress came back and went to sleep. Did she eat anything?"
"Your Majesty, Her Highness has not yet eaten," Jiangxiang hurriedly said. "This servant will have the meal prepared immediately."
"Hurry up and set it up. I'll be back soon after the banquet and haven't eaten much," Shu Chengfeng said.
Soon the meal was served, but Yan Nangui had little appetite and only drank half a bowl of soup before asking for it to be taken away.
I just finished washing up, and now I'm so sleepy again.
Shu Chengfeng couldn't say anything, and the woman barely paid him any attention all night. He could only tell her to go to sleep.
Yan Nangui really does fall asleep as soon as he falls down, and soon he's fast asleep.
Shu Chengfeng then summoned everyone: "Take good care of her. This is her first pregnancy, so be careful in everything. Pay close attention to what she puts in her mouth. Tomorrow I will have two nannies sent over to take care of her diet and daily life. She doesn't need to pay her respects to me for the time being."
Several incense sticks were offered in response.
Shu Chengfeng gave a few more instructions before feeling at ease, and naturally stayed there that night.
After the banquet ended in the Empress's palace, the Empress changed her clothes, washed up, and ate something.
Granny He said, "We never expected that this one would be pregnant."
"Yes, I really thought she couldn't have children. Now that she's suddenly pregnant, if she gives birth to a prince, that would be a real threat." The Empress was extremely worried.
As the Fifth Prince grew up day by day and became stronger, although he was still often sick, he had grown up quite a bit.
This threat was already firmly under control, and now Consort Chen is pregnant again.
“Your Majesty, we cannot act rashly. His Majesty is surely keeping a close eye on things. Judging from how happy His Majesty was today, it doesn’t seem like he was just putting on a show for General Yan,” said Granny He.
"This is exactly what I'm worried about! In recent years, Consort Chen has been favored too much. Suddenly she has a child, and if it's a prince..." The Empress gritted her teeth.
"Your Highness need not worry. I'm sure the Empress Dowager is also very unhappy about her giving birth. After all, if she does, it will be a great threat to the Fifth Prince," said Granny He.
Granny He sighed inwardly, wondering why the Empress could no longer conceive.
If you have a legitimate son, then you don't need to worry so much.
"Is Consort Wan about to give birth?" the Empress asked.
“Yes, it’s in April,” said Granny He.
Previously, Consort Mei had given birth to the sixth prince, which greatly displeased the Empress. Consort Mei was also favored by the Emperor.
Now that Consort Chen is pregnant, she will likely surpass Consort Mei even more.
That night, not only the Empress couldn't sleep, but many people in the harem couldn't sleep either.
The next morning, when Shu Chengfeng woke up, Yan Nangui was still asleep.
He didn't call her either.
He simply told her to sleep a little longer after getting up, but if she didn't get up, he would wake her up and give her something to eat.
That's why he left first, still feeling uneasy.
When the wild geese returned south and opened their eyes, the thoughts that had been wandering yesterday finally returned.
I reached out and touched my stomach, but I couldn't feel anything at all.
She was simply incredulous that she was pregnant?
Who's outside?
"Your Highness, it's me." Luo Kui walked in. "Your Highness is awake. Are you hungry?"
"It's alright." Yan Nangui turned to look at her. "Luo Kui, tell me, should I take this child?"
"Your Majesty, His Majesty overheard what we said yesterday... And you still dare to say it? How can you say you don't want a perfectly good child!" Luo Kui was frantic.
“Yes, it’s a healthy baby, my own flesh and blood.” Yan Nangui touched her belly: “But if I give birth to him, I will have to take responsibility for him.”
"Then...then take responsibility..." Luo Kui asked, puzzled.
"Then... take responsibility. Have someone prepare the meal." Yan Nangui patted her stomach again.
She's not one to overthink things; once she's figured it out, there's no need to dwell on it anymore.
After getting up, he first said, "I didn't realize it yesterday, so I'm rewarding you all today. I'll give you three months' wages each."
"Yes, thank you, Your Highness. We congratulate Your Highness." Jiangxiang led the way and offered her congratulations again.
Yan Nangui had eaten breakfast, and her appetite remained unchanged, about the same as before; she didn't eat much for breakfast.
After eating, before I could even comb my hair, I saw two old women brought by Shuanzi.
"Your Highness, these are Li Mama and Hu Mama, sent by the Imperial Household Department, who are specifically there to take care of you during your pregnancy."
The two old women greeted each other with their congratulations.
Granny Li has a round face and is a bit chubby, but she looks very kind and easy to get along with.
Although Granny Hu looked to be almost forty, she was remarkably beautiful. It was clear she had been a beauty in her youth.
It's also pleasing to the eye.
Yan Nangui didn't say anything, just told them to put away their luggage and then take turns serving them.
"Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager has sent someone to deliver a reward, saying there's no need for thanks." Shuanzi came in again.
Yan Nangui was in the courtyard when he bowed and thanked the Empress Dowager.
Before long, it was the Empress's, Consort Jing's, and Consort Xiang's.
The gifts sent by Consort Ke and others can only be described as presents.
Anyway, I've given gifts to everyone I was eligible to receive them from.
Yan Nangui didn't care about these things, but Shuanzi still checked every single one of them.
Yan Nangui sent someone to invite Physician Huang.
She knew that Shu Chengfeng really wanted this child, so using Physician Huang was better than using anyone else at this time.
At least for Physician Huang, the only person he can probably bribe is His Majesty.
Even the Empress Dowager might not be able to be bribed.
After Physician Huang arrived, he paid his respects.
Yan Nangui pointed to the crabapple tree in the garden: "Sit here."
The two sat down, and Yan Nangui said frankly, "Judging from His Majesty's expression, he hopes that I will give birth to this child, so I called you here. I wanted to say that you should take responsibility for my pregnancy. Physician Huang has been taking care of my health since I was in the manor, and no one knows my health better than you."
"Yes, Your Majesty will certainly do your utmost."
"Okay, sit down." Yan Nangui waved his hand.
Physician Huang then sat down again: "Your Majesty's pregnancy is stable, so there is no need to worry too much. I will certainly take good care of her."
