For two people in love, the happiest thing in the world is to have a child of their love.
Jiang Li likes sweet and soft children very much. Now that she knows she is pregnant, her whole body is filled with tenderness and expectation.
Having a younger brother or sister has been Jiang Li's wish since she was a child, but Jiang's mother was injured during childbirth and had difficulty getting pregnant afterwards, so Jiang Li's wish has never been fulfilled.
Fortunately, Qingzhu came to the Jiang Mansion later. Because they were of similar age, although they were master and servant in name, they were like sisters in private.
The tenderness in Jiang Li's eyes almost overflowed when she thought about seeing her child soon.
Shen Tingsi had never thought about getting married and having children in this life, so he didn't really like children.
But from the moment he learned that Jiang Li was pregnant, he began to like her. This was his and Li'er's child.
Shen Tingsi raised the corner of his lips and carefully placed his hand on Jiang Li's lower abdomen, feeling the movement of the baby in her belly.
Jiang Li chuckled when she saw this: "Silly boy, the month is young now, you will hear something when the month is older."
Shen Tingsi kissed Jiang Li on the forehead: "Li'er, thank you for your hard work."
Jiang Li lowered her eyes and smiled, placed her hand on the back of Shen Tingsi's hand, and looked forward to the little life in her belly with him.
Since Jiang Li was pregnant and needed to rest, Shen Tingsi was reluctant to let her work any more and refused to let her go to the Golden Palace to attend the ceremony of crowning the queen no matter what.
After receiving the oral order, Xiao Shunzi ran to the Golden Palace and informed the officials who had been waiting for a long time.
"Your Majesty has ordered that the ceremony of conferring the title of Queen be postponed. All ministers may return for the time being."
Xiao Shunzi breathlessly informed the ministers of Shen Tingsi's oral instructions.
The ministers who had been waiting for a long time were confused. Why was the ceremony of conferring the empress suddenly postponed? Did His Majesty have something unpleasant with the empress and regret it? ? As soon as this thought came out, the ministers panicked instantly.
They finally waited for the new queen, but Your Majesty is doing this, what the hell is going on?!
Ever since they saw the heartwarming scene at the Queen Mother's birthday, the ministers have accepted Jiang Li, the new Queen, from the bottom of their hearts, and now their hearts have unconsciously leaned towards her.
Perhaps the ministers themselves were not aware of this change.
"Eunuch Xiao Shunzi, is His Majesty unhappy with the Queen? Where is His Majesty? We want to see His Majesty!"
The ministers pursed their lips and their faces instantly darkened.
Xiao Shunzi, who had recovered, saw that the ministers had misunderstood him, and quickly waved his hands to explain: "No, no, no, you have misunderstood, His Majesty and the Empress have a good relationship!"
"Then why did His Majesty suddenly postpone the ceremony of crowning the queen?"
"The ceremony of crowning the queen is very complicated, and the queen has just been found to be pregnant. Your Majesty is worried about her, so he postponed it!"
"Humph, even if that's the case, that can't be... What did you say? The Queen is pregnant?"
When the minister was about to refute, he realized what Xiao Shunzi said belatedly and his eyes suddenly widened.
Xiao Shunzi smiled and nodded: "That's right! The queen is pregnant!"
"The queen is pregnant, the queen is pregnant!"
"Great! The Queen is pregnant. We are going to have a little master!"
This huge pie directly hit the ministers and confused them.
Just a month ago, they were still worried about the fact that His Majesty could not have contact with women, but they didn't expect that they would have a little master a month later? ? The Queen was indeed the great benefactor sent by God to save their Dongchu State! ! The ministers were all excited and flushed, and they left the Jinluan Palace excitedly and rushed back to the palace.
They have to burn incense to the Buddha and fulfill their vows! The Queen Mother had nothing to do with the Queen's coronation ceremony. She stayed in Shoukang Palace today and did not go out.
After Imperial Doctor Zhang confirmed that Jiang Li was pregnant, Nanny Gui could not wait to rush back to Shoukang Palace to tell the Queen Mother about it. She was so excited that she walked with a breeze! "Queen Mother, it's a happy event, a great happy event!"
The Queen Mother subconsciously looked outside the palace, waiting for Nanny Gui to arrive.
"Her Majesty, congratulations!"
Nanny Gui hurriedly walked in from outside the hall and started congratulating the empress dowager.
The Queen Mother raised her eyebrows and picked up the teacup beside her: "Why are you so happy?"
Nanny Gui took a deep breath and said, "Her Majesty the Queen, the Queen is pregnant!"
The Queen Mother paused while sipping her tea and looked at Aunt Gui in disbelief: "What did you say? Say it again!"
Aunt Gui smiled. As expected of mother and son, the Empress Dowager looked exactly like His Majesty just now! "Empress Dowager, you heard it right. The Queen is pregnant. You are going to be the Empress Dowager!"
"real?"
The Queen Mother's eyes widened and she quickly put the teacup in her hand aside.
"It's absolutely true! The Queen suddenly vomited just now, and it was Imperial Doctor Zhang who confirmed it!"
Doctor Zhang is the head of the Imperial Hospital, so his medical skills are beyond words. Since he made the diagnosis, it is 100% correct! "Oh, Li'er is pregnant. I'm going to be an imperial grandmother!"
"Hurry, hurry and help me up. I want to go see Li'er!"
The Queen Mother stretched out her hand tremblingly towards Nanny Gui, and was so excited that she could hardly stand steadily.
“Hey!”
Nanny Gui smiled and walked forward, holding the empress dowager's arm and helping her up from the phoenix chair.
"Someone, prepare the sedan quickly!"
At the call of Nanny Gui, several eunuchs hurried out.
The news that the Queen was pregnant spread quickly throughout the palace, and now everyone in the palace was excited about it.
Everyone in the palace was looking forward to the arrival of the young master, and they were more careful and cautious in their service.
In an instant, Jiang Li became a veritable porcelain doll. Whether it was the palace maids, Shen Tingsi, or the empress dowager, they all revolved around her and took care of her and the baby in her belly meticulously.
With the company and care of Shen Tingsi and the Queen Mother, Jiang Li's flat belly gradually grew bigger.
Taking advantage of the gentle breeze and bright sunshine outside, Shen Tingsi brought Jiang Li to the Imperial Garden for a walk.
If the imperial physician had not said that letting Jiang Li walk around properly was good for her health, Shen Tingsi would never let her feet touch the ground. He would carry her wherever he went, acting like he was holding a treasure and not wanting to let go at all.
"Li'er, I seem to hear the child's movements."
Shen Tingsi lay in front of Jiang Li's already bulging belly and put his ear to her belly to listen to the movement inside.
Shen Tingsi looked up at Jiang Li in surprise. Jiang Li touched his face and said with a smile, "In a few months, I will be able to meet the baby in my belly. Ah Si, I am looking forward to it."
"I am looking forward to it, but I want to say hello to him before he is born."
Under Jiang Li's puzzled gaze, Shen Tingsi put his face close to her belly again and actually started talking to the baby in her belly.
"Child, wait until the due date and be good, understand? Don't let your mother suffer, or your father will spank you after you are born."
