In Hua Mama's memory, Su Lin had always been very steady. This was the first time she had seen him like this, so she couldn't help but ask.
Su Lin rubbed his head, nodded to Granny Hua, and then walked back into the Empress Dowager's palace.
The moment Su Lin saw the Empress Dowager, he immediately knelt down.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty the Empress Dowager! Your Majesty the Empress Dowager, this servant has come to report the good news."
Looking at Su Lin, who was beaming with joy, the Empress Dowager was puzzled, wondering what was so delightful about her.
"Su Lin, what's the joy? I don't understand what you're saying at all!"
The Empress Dowager was genuinely bewildered and didn't quite react.
"Your Majesty, Consort Mei is pregnant! What a joyous occasion!"
Upon hearing this, the Empress Dowager instinctively gripped the hand of the nanny beside her tightly, her nails digging into the nanny's flesh.
However, Granny Hua didn't even flinch once, as if she wasn't in any pain at all.
How could Hua Mama not be in pain? It was just that the joy in her heart had overshadowed the pain in her hands.
"Su...Su Lin, is this true? Does His Majesty know?"
The Empress Dowager was so excited that her voice trembled and her words came out in broken sentences.
Su Lin was also excited. The Emperor finally had a child. Whether it was a boy or a girl, once Consort Mei's child was born, the Emperor would no longer have to listen to the ministers' nagging every day.
"Indeed, it was His Majesty who sent me to report this to the Empress Dowager, saying that he wanted to make the Empress Dowager happy as well."
The Empress Dowager smiled, a bright and cheerful smile. When Granny Hua saw the Empress Dowager smile, she couldn't help but grin as well.
She hadn't seen the Empress Dowager laugh so heartily since the Emperor Emeritus passed away.
"I'm so happy! I'm so happy! Where is Consort Mei now? I'd like to go see her and tell her some things to be careful about. Although I only gave birth to the Emperor, I still know what I need to be careful about."
"Consort Mei is currently with the Emperor and the imperial physician. The imperial physician is telling the Emperor some things to be careful about."
Upon hearing what Empress Dowager Su Lin said, the Empress Dowager immediately nodded.
"Alright, then I'll go and see Consort Mei."
The Empress Dowager led a large entourage towards the Emperor's palace. As soon as they arrived, they saw that the imperial physician had already left, and Qi Yehan was holding Jiang Jingyue, who was fast asleep.
When the Empress Dowager saw that she was asleep, she immediately gestured to the Emperor. Although the Empress Dowager did not speak, Qi Yehan understood the meaning in her eyes.
He reluctantly placed Jiang Jingyue on the bed, then followed the Empress Dowager out.
As soon as they stepped outside, the Empress Dowager looked at Qi Yehan excitedly, "Your Majesty, I heard that Consort Mei is pregnant. Is this true?"
The Empress Dowager's voice rose several decibels due to her excitement.
Qi Yehan was worried that the Empress Dowager's voice would wake Jiang Jingyue, who was still sleeping inside. He gestured to the Empress Dowager, who immediately understood his meaning.
She lowered her voice, looked at Qi Yehan, and her eyes clearly conveyed a question to him.
Seeing the Empress Dowager's expression, Qi Yehan knew that she wanted to verify this matter, so Qi Yehan nodded seriously to her.
"Mother, it's true. The imperial physician has just confirmed it, so you can rest assured!"
After confirming this, the Empress Dowager was very excited, and she nodded to Qi Yehan with satisfaction.
"Your Majesty, now that Consort Mei is pregnant, the most important thing is that she cannot engage in strenuous exercise and cannot get angry."
During Consort Mei's pregnancy, you must not have sexual relations with her, and you must not anger her. You must give in to whatever she wants, understand?
Seeing that the Empress Dowager was about to have a long talk with him, Qi Yehan immediately nodded.
"Mother, you don't need to say anything more about these things. The imperial physician just explained it to me very clearly, so you don't need to say anything more."
The Empress Dowager shook her head. "The imperial physicians certainly don't understand women as well as we women do. What I tell you will definitely be different from what the imperial physicians say."
And so, the Empress Dowager kept Qi Yehan talking for quite a while. If Jiang Jingyue hadn't suddenly woken up, the Empress Dowager might have continued talking to Qi Yehan indefinitely.
Jiang Jingyue was genuinely embarrassed to hide in Qi Yehan's arms, but she didn't expect to fall asleep.
When she woke up again, there was no one in the palace.
Hearing voices outside, Jiang Jing immediately went outside.
"Your Majesty and the Empress Dowager pay their respects."
Perhaps because they were talking so deeply, Qi Yehan didn't even notice when Jiang Jingyue came over.
The moment Qi Yehan saw Jiang Jingyue, he immediately stood up, walked to Jiang Jingyue's side, and spoke to her.
"Yueyue, you're pregnant now, so you shouldn't do things like bowing, understand?"
Upon hearing his words, the Empress Dowager beside him also lowered her head.
"Consort Mei, His Majesty is right. Now that you are pregnant, you definitely cannot engage in strenuous exercise. You will no longer need to perform formalities such as bowing."
Jiang Jingyue nodded, "Then this concubine thanks Your Majesty for your great kindness."
Seeing Jiang Jingyue's playful antics, Qi Yehan couldn't help but laugh.
"The Empress Dowager said she wanted to come and see you, and also to tell you some things to be careful about. I didn't expect you to be asleep. But the Empress Dowager has already told me all these things to be careful about, so I will definitely pay more attention."
Jiang Jingyue dislikes listening to others lecture her the most. They keep saying this and that, it's really annoying.
Fortunately, the Empress Dowager had already told Qi Yehan everything that needed to be said, so there was no need to tell her anything else.
"Thank you, Mother. You are so kind."
After Jiang Jingyue finished speaking, she went to the Empress Dowager's side, hugged her, and nestled in her arms.
This softened the heart of the Empress Dowager, who had never given birth to a daughter.
The woman in his arms looked especially docile and endearing.
The Empress Dowager couldn't help but reach out and pat Jiang Jingyue, "Xiaoyue, you must take good care of your health. When you give me a little grandson, I will be completely satisfied."
Jiang Jingyue looked at the Empress Dowager and smiled shyly, "Mother, I will do my best, but if the child I give birth to is a princess, will you not like it?"
The Empress Dowager actually liked girls, but since it was the Emperor's first child, she still hoped it would be the Crown Prince.
Looking at the unhappy face of the person in her arms, the Empress Dowager, who had never coaxed anyone before, suddenly began to coax Jiang Jingyue gently.
