As soon as Imperial Physician Jiang said this, the whole room instantly became quiet, and a moment later bursts of exclamations broke out!
Especially the emperor, he stood there in a daze for several seconds. When he came to his senses, he laughed a few times and said "OK" three times in a row.
Yuetao and Feicui hugged each other and cried. They never dreamed that their queen would be so powerful!
Not long after the little Prince Jingyan was born, their queen became pregnant again!
The person who couldn't believe it the most in the whole audience was probably the Queen. She never dreamed that Gu Wanying would be pregnant at this time!
You should know that if the interval between the first and second births is too short, it will cause great harm to the mother!
Even if a common family wanted a child very much, it would not let a woman get pregnant like this.
The queen's hands, hidden under her sleeves, were tightly gripping the handkerchief; her white nails showed how hard she was holding on.
However, while the emperor was surprised, he was more worried about whether Gu Wanying's body could withstand it.
"Your Majesty, rest assured. I have already conducted a comprehensive examination on Concubine Wan. Her physical condition is completely suitable for pregnancy." Imperial Physician Jiang's words reassured the emperor.
Although the emperor already had little Jingyan, when he thought about becoming a father again, he rubbed his hands happily and turned around in front of Gu Wanying, his movements like a fly.
Gu Wanying couldn't help but laugh, "Your Majesty, please stop. I'm almost dizzy."
The emperor stopped when he heard this, but he couldn't suppress the smile on his face. However, he had not forgotten that Gu Wanying had fallen into the water just now, so he drove away everyone and personally carried Gu Wanying to the bed.
It was still early for her to go to bed, and she felt a little amused and helpless.
"Your Majesty, I don't want to go to bed yet. Besides, tonight is the Queen's birthday, you should go and accompany her." Gu Wanying said considerately.
The emperor couldn't calm down at all. He knew that staying here might affect his rest, so he followed Gu Wanying's advice and returned to Fengqi Palace with the queen.
The Queen was filled with sadness, but at this moment she had to pretend to be very happy for Concubine Wan so as not to spoil the Emperor's interest.
She was so frustrated as a queen that even the little grace she had left was given to her by Concubine Wan through thin air.
Just thinking about it made her very angry!
The emperor has been in high spirits since leaving Chonghua Palace, and his mind is now full of the thought of naming his child.
"The eldest prince will be named Jingyan. I haven't decided on a name for the second prince yet, but if it's a princess, then she'll be named Jingyun or Jingnian, inspired by the saying that flowers remain the same year after year, and people remain the same year after year. What do you think, Queen?" The Emperor turned to ask the Queen's opinion, then added, "I think it's a good choice."
What else could the Queen say? She could only nod.
Nanny Gui behind her felt very sorry for the Empress. Even she could see that the Empress was forcing a smile, so how could the Emperor not notice?
Nanny Gui was depressed, but she could only keep it in her heart.
Gu Qingqing was as shocked as the Queen. She could hear the sound coming from the next room clearly. In an instant, the scene of falling into the water flashed through her mind, and a chill suddenly rose in her heart.
Is this a blessing in disguise for Gu Wanying?
How come she is so lucky?
Could it be that the damned Imperial Observatory's calculations were truly so accurate? Was Gu Wanying truly the destined one?
When Gu Wanying gave birth to the little prince, she didn't believe it and thought it was just a coincidence. Unexpectedly, Gu Wanying was pregnant with her second child now!
This made her believe that Gu Wanying was indeed that lucky!
After the banquet, Sun Chongming waited for Gu Qingqing for a long time but she didn't show up. He was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan. He heard that someone had fallen into the lake. He hurried over but found that everyone had dispersed. He didn't even know the outcome.
He had no choice but to sneak into Chonghua Palace to ask Gu Wanying for help.
"Isn't this Lord Sun? Lord Sun, as a man, broke into the palace of the concubines. Does he want to be a lecher that everyone despises?" Yue Tao mocked Sun Chongming mercilessly as soon as she saw him, and started scolding him with her hands on her hips.
Sun Chongming's face turned pale, but he suppressed his anger out of concern for Gu Qingqing. "Please inform Miss Yuetao that my husband and maid are missing. It's almost time to leave, and I'm afraid she might get lost in the palace and offend someone. I don't know who to ask for help, so I can only ask Concubine Wan."
Yue Tao naturally wouldn't let him in, but Gu Wanying had just walked out of the side hall with Gu Qingqing, and when she met his pleading eyes, she gave him a mocking smile.
"Master Sun is so bold that he even dares to bring in people whom the emperor has forbidden to enter the palace. Aren't you afraid of bringing disaster upon yourself?" Gu Wanying stood on the high steps and looked down at him. She was breathtakingly beautiful under the moonlight.
Sun Chongming was stunned for a moment, but when he came to his senses, he immediately lowered his head and apologized calmly, "Empress Wan is a very kind person, and Qingqing truly knows she is wrong this time."
Gu Qingqing lowered her head, not daring to look directly into Sun Chongming's eyes.
Gu Wanying was a little annoyed after listening to these words, and she didn't talk to him for long before letting Gu Qingqing go back with him.
"Xiao Cheng." Gu Wanying watched the couple disappear into the night, her red lips slightly parted.
Yue Tao only felt a flash before her eyes, and a figure appeared in front of her. He knelt on one knee with his hands clasped together, and was extremely respectful to Gu Wanying.
"What are your wishes, Madam?"
"Take a few people with you to secretly protect Master Sun and his maid. I'm afraid something might go wrong tonight." After saying this, Gu Wanying turned around and went back to the bedroom.
After Xiao Cheng agreed, he flew away into the night.
Tonight was destined to be turbulent, as the news that Gu Wanying was pregnant again spread throughout the harem.
The Queen Mother excitedly chanted three Buddhist mantras in a row. She was so happy that she didn't know what to say. She even didn't want to sleep. She knelt in front of Guanyin and kowtowed with her hands clasped together.
Nanny Wang was so happy that she served the Empress Dowager with great joy.
"The Imperial Astronomical Observatory's calculations are very accurate. I will reward him handsomely tomorrow." The empress dowager's eyes were shining. Gu Wanying also needed a handsome reward for expanding the royal family!
After Sun Chongming and Gu Qingqing got on the carriage to go home, there was silence between the two for a long time.
This time he indeed brought Gu Qingqing into the palace with a lucky mentality, and fortunately nothing serious happened this time.
"Brother Chongming, I, I did something wrong!" Gu Qingqing spoke hesitantly, tears welling up in her eyes.
Gu Qingqing told Sun Chongming what happened tonight. Sun Chongming's pupils shrank suddenly in shock and he looked at her in shock, as if he was meeting her for the first time.
"But this time she turned a disaster into a blessing. She is pregnant again! I wish I could be as lucky as her." Gu Qingqing laughed so hard that tears fell from her eyes. There was no movement in her belly until now!
