Afternoon.
The news of Rosamund Kwan's pregnancy spread like wildfire, though it's said that it's not announced publicly during the first three months.
Everyone was probably worried, since military doctors were involved. They were all quite concerned, probably because the military doctors informed them.
The military camp suddenly became lively again.
Everyone cheered, "The Emperor has an Empress! The Empress is so blessed!"
When Lan Shanqi heard the news, he recalled that a month ago at the Ningjing Orchard, she had thought it was a slippery pulse, but she hadn't even considered that possibility. He never expected that she was actually pregnant.
However, that was probably not long ago, so it's still uncertain.
His feelings were complicated; he didn't know whether to be sad or happy. Was he sad? Not really. Was he happy? He just couldn't muster any enthusiasm.
Caught in this dilemma, Lan Shanqi was not the only one distressed upon hearing the news; Yuan Ningsu of Ningjian Kingdom also wore a worried expression.
"Sigh, I thought I was confident I could win Xiaoyue'er's favor!"
"Now look what's happened, she's already pregnant, what's there to be interested in? Opportunity my foot!"
Su Xuan and Su Ming, standing to the side, were speechless. They had long suspected that their crown prince had something wrong with his head, and now it seemed that he really did have a problem, and not just a little bit.
“Your Highness, there are plenty of fish in the sea, why insist on just one?” Su Ming said softly.
He sat back in his chair, one leg on the ground and the other dangling on the armrest, his face filled with sorrow.
"What do you know? I have no chance at all, not even in my favor. This is an utter disgrace!"
Su Xuan and Su Ming: Serves you right!
Although he cursed inwardly, he still said respectfully, "Your Highness, our country also has many beautiful women!"
"Take the Third Miss of Minister Li's family, for example. She is so refined, gentle, and fair-skinned."
"Yes, yes, and there's also the eldest daughter of Prime Minister Liu's family. She's a legitimate daughter, and she's grown into a beauty that could topple kingdoms."
"That's right, and there's also the fourth young lady from General Wu's family. She's truly a remarkable woman, a heroine of a powerful family!"
"Yes, these are all great beauties of our country, and there is also the youngest daughter of that Vice Minister of War, Lord Liu."
She's also a very lively and cheerful girl, quite quirky and clever. In my opinion, all these women are very well-matched with Your Highness.
Su Xuan and Su Ming kept trying to persuade him.
Yuan Ningsu took a deep breath and then slowly sighed, "No matter how good these are, they can't compare to Xiao Yue'er."
"These ordinary women don't know anything about cultivating high-yield crops, nor how to improve farm tools, and they certainly don't have any good brains. They're just fools who rely on their families' power and influence to fight over love in their own backyards."
Su Xuan and Su Ming were speechless. Their prince was really something else!
But thinking about it, it makes sense. These women are just constant whining and whining all day long; they're practically whining monsters!
Yuan Ningsu was sorrowful! He was heartbroken! But no one could understand! He had countless thoughts he could not express!
"Oh dear, I'm so worried! What am I going to do?!"
Su Ming, who was standing nearby, had a bold idea. "Your Highness, I have a plan, but I don't know if I should tell you."
"Spit it out!"
"Oh, yes, Your Highness, how about a surprise fatherhood?"
"Pfft!" Su Xuan, standing to the side, laughed rather unkindly, and couldn't stop trembling.
Yuan Ningsu rolled her eyes at him, then turned to look at Su Ming, "What do you mean? You want me to go and snatch Xiao Yue'er away?"
"What the hell are you thinking? You think I'm going to be a father? I think I'm going to be a mother!"
What kind of shit are you thinking about all day?
Su Ming pouted slightly, a hint of resentment in his voice. "That's true!"
"Your Highness, think about it. If you get together with Miss Guan, are you going to have to abort the child? If that happens, wouldn't Miss Guan hate you to death? You might as well just become a cuckold."
"Anyway, it's all the same once the light is blown out. The important thing is that you have a child! Who cares whose it is, as long as your wife is yours!" Su Ming said fearlessly.
Hearing his good brother's words, Su Xuan, who was standing nearby, shouted in his heart, "Awesome!"
Listening to Su Ming's words, Yuan Ningsu actually felt that there seemed to be some truth to them.
A hint of satisfaction even appeared on his face. Luckily, Guan Zhiyue wasn't here. If she were, she would definitely have chased Yuan Ningsu and beaten him up for three blocks!
What kind of pig brains are these? It's true that like master, like subordinate. If the master is a pig brain, the subordinate can't escape it either!
Unfortunately, Guan Zhiyue didn't have time to deal with these things right now. She was vomiting and had diarrhea, and felt terrible!
"Ugh~~~"
"Your Majesty, are you alright?"
"Why did you throw up again?!"
"Did you catch a cold?"
"Your Majesty~"
"vomit!!"
Guan Zhiyue propped herself up, with half of her body hanging off the edge of the bed. In front of her was a copper basin filled with ash, which was meant to hold Guan Zhiyue's vomit.
Bilian reached out and patted Guan Zhiyue's back gently, patting her back and handing her a cup of warm water.
"Your Majesty, please rinse your mouth first!"
Guan Zhiyue gently ate a small piece from that shameless hand, and before she could even rinse her mouth, a wave of nausea rushed out again.
"vomit!"
"Cough cough cough, cough cough cough~~"
But Guan Zhiyue was so embarrassed that she turned red in the face. What's going on?
Good heavens!
Is this a stone egg she's carrying? Why is she vomiting so much?
Guan Zhiyue was completely devastated; she felt like she was going to vomit.
Inside the space, the little dumpling anxiously pleaded, "Master, you can't go on like this! You need to eat something quickly!"
"Otherwise, your body won't be able to handle it."
Guan Zhiyue really wanted to say that she wanted to too, but vomiting wouldn't allow it!
"Even the spirit spring water is useless, it's too cruel," Guan Zhiyue told Xiao Tuantuan through her consciousness.
My mind is completely broken. It's only the first day, and I'm already torturing myself like this!
Upon hearing this, Lan Shanqi rushed over to examine Guan Zhiyue, but he couldn't figure out what was wrong. He could only say it was a normal phenomenon, except that Guan Zhiyue's morning sickness was more severe.
For the next two weeks, Guan Zhiyue could be heard vomiting in her tent every day, her body growing thinner and thinner, and her body becoming increasingly soft.
However, the little ball inside the space grew bigger and bigger as Guan Zhiyue's weight decreased.
As Xiao Tuantuan grew older, Guan Zhiyue felt increasingly uncomfortable and nauseous. Eventually, she couldn't eat anything and became so thin that she looked like a skeleton.
Her weight dropped rapidly, and she eventually reached 80 pounds without even moving. At this point, the space was blocked, and there was no news from her at all.
