After Ituma Shushu woke up, she went next door to see the Seventh Prince Hongzhao.
She instructed Chunhua and Qiuyue, "Chunhua and Qiuyue, you two go outside and keep watch. I will take care of the Seventh Prince here."
“Yes, Your Majesty,” Chunhua and Qiuyue replied with a bow.
Not long after Chunhua and Qiuyue left, the Seventh Prince Hongzhao woke up.
Ituma Shushu gently stroked the hair of the Seventh Prince Hongzhao and said, "Hongzhao is awake."
The Seventh Prince, Hongzhao, opened his eyes with a dazed look on his face, "Mother."
Ituma Shushu stroked the Seventh Prince's forehead and said, "Are you hungry? Eat something to fill your stomach later."
The seventh prince, Hongzhao, couldn't help but touch his stomach. "Mother, I'm hungry."
Ituma Shushu smiled gently and said, "Then get up and have your meal."
"Spring flowers, autumn moon," she then called out.
Chunhua and Qiuyue entered together, bowed, and said, "Your Majesty, we are here."
"Chunhua, you help the Seventh Prince wash up."
"Qiuyue, go and prepare the Seventh Prince's meal."
Ituma Shushu gave instructions to Chunhua and Qiuyue.
After Chunhua and Qiuyue left, Xiaju helped her to sit in the outer room and wait for the Seventh Prince Hongzhao.
Not long after, the Seventh Prince Hongzhao came in with his small, unsteady steps, grasping Chunhua's hand and calling out, "Mother."
Ituma Shushu stepped forward and put her arm around the small shoulder of the Seventh Prince Hongzhao, saying, "Our Seventh Prince is really great."
The seventh prince, Hongzhao, laughed heartily, "Mother, Mother."
"Mother has something to tell Hongzhao today. Hongzhao will soon have a younger brother or sister."
Didn't Hongzhao tell his mother before that he wanted to find a child his own age to play with?
"Now Hongzhao will have a little friend to play with. Aren't you happy, Hongzhao?" Ituma Shushu said, holding the Seventh Prince's hand.
"Happy, happy, Hongzhao is happy, is Mother Youyou here?" Seventh Prince Hongzhao looked at her with a questioning expression.
Ituma Shushu gently touched her belly and said, "Youyou is in your mother's belly. She will come out and meet Hongzhao in eight months. Hongzhao, you must greet Youyou every day from now on!"
"Friend, friend, friend, Hongzhao is here." The Seventh Prince Hongzhao said to her belly with a serious expression.
Ituma Shushu smiled and said softly, "Yes, Mother will answer Hongzhao's question on behalf of Hongzhao's friend."
Hongzhao's friend said he heard you greet him, and he is very happy.
Hongzhao's friend is still too young to greet him in person, but in eight months, he will be able to come out and play with him.
"Yes, yes, Hongzhao understands, Mother." The Seventh Prince Hongzhao raised his little face and said to her earnestly.
At this moment, Xia Ju, Dong Mei, Chun Hua, and Qiu Yue, who were waiting on the side, couldn't help but chuckle quietly.
Afterwards, Ituma Shushu accompanied the Seventh Prince Hongzhao to finish his meal, and then, with the careful attention of Xiaju, Dongmei, Dong Mama, and Quan Mama, she strolled in the garden of Qingyun Yaxuan.
The Seventh Prince Hongzhao was also by her side, meticulously attended to by Chunhua, Qiuyue, Xiaolinzi, and Xiaoanzi.
And so the days passed by at a leisurely pace.
Ituma Shushu is now more than five months pregnant with her baby.
The Seventh Prince, Hongzhao, had already gotten used to greeting the baby in her belly every day.
Today is the day that Physician Wang will take the pulse of Ituma Shushu to check her health.
Deep within the elegant Qingyun Pavilion, soft rays of sunlight stream through the exquisite window frames, illuminating the magnificent interior.
A faint fragrance filled the air, making people feel relaxed and happy.
Inside the room, Physician Wang sat upright at an exquisite mahogany table, his face calm and focused.
Xia Ju and Dong Mei carefully supported Ituma Shushu's hand and led her to Doctor Wang.
Ituma Shushu sat down gently and placed her hands on the brocade cushion that the royal physician had prepared.
Physician Wang lowered his head slightly and gently placed his fingers on her pulse.
Xia Ju, Dong Mei, Granny Dong, and Granny Quan held their breath and dared not make a sound, for fear of disturbing Physician Wang's diagnosis.
Physician Wang's brows furrowed and relaxed at times, as if he were pondering something.
After a moment, Physician Wang slowly opened his eyes, a hint of seriousness flashing in them.
The imperial physician whispered to Ituma Shushu, "Your Majesty, your pulse indicates that this pregnancy may be twins?"
Ituma Shushu looked shocked. "Imperial Physician Wang, is this really true?"
Physician Wang said with a solemn expression, "This servant is also afraid that my medical skills are not good enough and that I may have delayed Her Majesty's treatment. Therefore, this servant will go and report to His Majesty immediately after I leave, so that His Majesty can make a decision."
Ituma Shushu now looked solemn. She said to Dongmei, who was also shocked, "Dongmei, ask Xiaoyezi to escort Physician Wang."
"Yes, Your Majesty," Dongmei bowed and replied.
Physician Wang rose to take his leave, and was led away from Qingyun Yaxuan by Xiao Yezi.
After Physician Wang left, Granny Dong was equally shocked, but she still said to Ituma Shushu, "Your Majesty, do not panic. Although twins are rare in the royal family, they are common among common people."
Granny Quan was much calmer. She said to Ituma Shushu, "Your Majesty, my sister was pregnant with twins back then, but she still gave birth to two sons safely. Now both of her sons are married and have children of their own."
"Your Majesty, please do not worry too much. There are skilled imperial physicians in the palace. As long as Your Majesty focuses on your pregnancy and takes good care of your body, you will surely give birth to a prince or princess safely."
