Logically speaking, if the Queen Mother fell ill, the Sultan, as the only woman in the Emperor's harem, should go to the Queen Mother's bedside to serve her.
But the emperor and the queen mother felt sorry for the hardship the Sultan would have to endure if she were pregnant.
Now Sudanruo is four months pregnant. Although the fetus is stable, Han Feng is still very nervous.
He even exempted Sultan from all etiquette, and she didn't have to perform any etiquette whether she met the Queen Mother or herself.
But there was no one to serve the Empress Dowager, and the Prime Minister's Mansion, the Empress Dowager's mother's family, was unwilling to do so.
The Empress Dowager's maternal family has had queens in every generation since her grandmother's generation.
But this tradition was broken when it came to Han Feng.
The Queen Mother herself didn't have any thoughts. She was old and didn't want to get involved in the disputes in the court.
But the prime minister has been blinded by power.
He knew very well that the women in the emperor's harem could also play a very important role in the mobilization of the court.
He began to secretly remind the Queen Mother to let Han Feng enrich the harem.
The Queen Mother also tried to persuade Han Feng several times according to her mother's family's wishes, but Han Feng directly refused.
She had no choice but to let her son go.
After the prime minister learned about this, he began to unite a group of officials with whom he had a good relationship to write a letter to Han Feng, suggesting that the emperor hold a beauty pageant.
However, all the memorials were rejected by Han Feng without exception.
The prime minister still refused to give up and made a memorial in the court.
Han Feng was only interested in unifying the world, so he didn't have the time to deal with the prime minister.
He immediately threatened, "If the Prime Minister is too idle at home, why don't you go and lead the troops for me?"
How could the prime minister have such ability? He was able to become the prime minister only because of the support of his sister and family.
The Prime Minister was afraid that Han Feng would really ask him to lead troops to fight, so he kept quiet and stopped mentioning the matter.
If the Sultan knew Han Feng's ambition to unify the world, he would suggest that Han Feng negotiate with the princesses sent by various countries and let them persuade their countries to surrender.
If they were willing to surrender voluntarily, they would be granted the title of nobility and still be allowed to manage their own territories, but any major decisions would need to be reported to the emperor for decision.
In addition, all localities must obey the laws and decrees issued by the emperor, and we can deal with other matters later.
If they are unwilling to surrender, we will send troops to attack them.
Han Feng felt that Sudan Ruo's idea was very good. If they were willing to surrender, he could unify the world without losing a single soldier.
Han Feng felt like he had found a treasure. "With a man like you, what else could I ask for?"
Sultan Ruo immediately wrote a letter to her father, telling him that she was already the queen of Dasheng Kingdom and urging her father to surrender.
The letter contained various threats and inducements. After receiving it, King Yun thought of how the State of Zhao was conquered by Han Feng in just one month.
Zhao State was still the country with the strongest military force among these small countries.
If the Great Sheng Kingdom really goes to war with our own country, I am afraid that the people's livelihood will be devastated.
Not to mention the fate of the royal family, which will probably be even worse.
In the letter, the Sultan clearly stated the interests involved.
King Yun understood that this was probably a method that would benefit both sides, so he wrote back to Sultan Ruo saying that he was willing to surrender.
Seeing that this method was feasible, Han Feng asked several other princesses from other countries to follow Sudan Ruo's approach.
Seeing that Yun State had surrendered, the other two countries also surrendered.
After Han Feng unified the world, the ministers in the court dared not suggest Han Feng to participate in the beauty contest anymore when they learned that it was the Queen's idea.
After Han Feng unified the country, he exempted the people from taxes for three years, and especially gave some special benefits to the people of the former Zhao State.
The treasury of Dasheng State is sufficient to support the next three years.
The Queen Mother's health was getting worse and worse, and she could only lie in bed in the house every day.
After the Sultan went to serve the Queen Mother a few times, he found that the symptoms of her illness were the same as those in the medical book given to him by the Imperial Physician Song.
After returning home, she looked through medical books and found the case.
To put it bluntly, the Empress Dowager's illness was caused by excessive depression, and the medical books provide prescriptions and treatment methods.
The Sultan copied down the prescription and asked the imperial physician to take a look at it.
The imperial physician had never seen such a prescription, but thought it was worth a try, perhaps it could relieve the empress dowager's symptoms.
The Queen Mother's condition improved after drinking the medicine. After learning that it was a prescription provided by Sultan Ruo, she became even more satisfied with the Queen.
Let alone the fact that the emperor's harem was empty.
Having too many women in the harem is not a good thing.
Five months later, if the Sultan gave birth earlier than expected, the palace would be in chaos.
Han Feng waited at the gate of Sultan Ruo's palace, and stopped the imperial physician in charge of Sultan Ruo's health and asked:
"How could it be earlier than the due date? How do you do things?!"
The imperial doctors knelt down, and the one caught by Han Feng defended himself:
"Your Majesty, please calm down! The Empress's belly was much larger than that of an average mother at seven months of pregnancy. Perhaps it's multiple pregnancies that led to premature birth!"
Han Feng shoved the imperial physician aside. "What a bunch of rubbish! If it's a multiple pregnancy, why didn't you diagnose it before?!"
Han Feng became angrier the more he thought about it, and wanted to drag out several imperial doctors and give them a beating.
The Queen Mother persuaded Han Feng to stop.
"Your Majesty, please calm down! The Queen is giving birth in the palace right now. Seeing blood in the palace is an ominous sign. Don't scare the unborn child!"
Han Feng then let go of the imperial doctors. The imperial doctor who was pushed to the ground by Han Feng knelt on the ground and dared not speak.
Several imperial doctors silently wiped the sweat from their heads, praying in their hearts that the Queen was safe and sound.
Now everyone knows that the emperor dotes on his queen. If the queen wants the stars in the sky, the emperor might find a way to pick them for her.
If anything unexpected happened to the queen during childbirth, her life would definitely be in danger.
Everyone was waiting outside Sultan's palace to see what was happening inside.
It was very easy for Sudanruo to give birth in there. With the help of painless childbirth equipment, she did not feel any pain.
It was just that in order to let Han Feng know that childbirth is not easy for women and that he would cherish the time with her more in the future, she deliberately lingered for a while longer.
When the time was almost up, Sudan Ruo pushed the child out with force.
However, Sudan's children were a little weak. The eldest was a boy who was relatively healthy, but the second and youngest were both daughters.
The two daughters were so weak when they were born that they couldn't even cry.
The midwife patted the two little girls for a long time before they cried out.
Seeing this, Sudan was afraid that something might happen to the child, so he exchanged it with the system for some physical strengthening powder that could enhance the child's physique.
Because newborn babies cannot swallow a whole pill.
Sudan Ruo specially selected a powdered medicine for them that melts in the mouth.
Only after he secretly hid the Sudan Ruo in his fingernails and fed it to the two little ones did he feel relieved.
After showing the baby to the Sultan, several midwives wrapped the baby tightly and took it out to meet their father and grandmother.
The imperial physician kneeling outside the palace breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the queen give birth smoothly.
Han Feng didn't care about anything else. After seeing the child, he wanted to go into the house to see Su Danruo.
But the Queen Mother stopped him, "The place where a woman has just given birth is extremely yin, so it's best that Your Majesty doesn't go in there."
