The main reason was that he simply couldn't believe that the Emperor would make such a grand gesture.
Judging from this, it seems that his daughter became empress the moment she entered the palace.
"Your Majesty, my daughter has just entered the palace and is already the Empress. I am afraid... I am afraid that others will obstruct her. Perhaps Your Majesty should not give my daughter such a high rank all at once."
The emperor hadn't expected that the Jiang family all shared the same thought: they didn't want Jiang Jingyue to become empress as soon as she entered the palace.
Maybe he's worried about being bullied!
"Lord Jiang, I know what you're worried about, but I can assure you that I will protect Yue Bao Bao and will not let anyone bully her."
With the emperor's name on the table, it seems like people can feel a little more at ease.
In the end, Jiang's father couldn't persuade the emperor, so he had no choice but to agree.
"Your Majesty, please rest assured! I will make proper preparations in the coming days. Your Majesty, do you know about that matter?"
Although Jiang's father did not explicitly say what it was about, Jiu Gongting still guessed what it was.
"Is Marquis Jiang referring to Yueyue's pregnancy? She has already told me about it, so you won't have to keep it a secret anymore."
I assure you, I will treat her and the child well; you can rest assured.
Jiang's father was worried that the emperor's harem had three thousand beauties, and if one of them suddenly made a move against the child in Jiang Jingyue's womb, the consequences would be unimaginable.
"Your Majesty, I am worried that Xiaoyue is pregnant and might encounter some accidents if she goes to the palace. Therefore, I hope Your Majesty can keep Xiaoyue's pregnancy a secret for now. Is that alright?"
Mr. Jiang was worried about something unexpected happening, especially since his daughter Xiaoyue's position wasn't very stable yet. He planned to wait until after three months before making the announcement.
After hearing Jiang's father's plan, Jiu Gongting nodded, feeling that it was indeed a suitable approach.
"Alright, then I'll listen to you, Marquis Jiang. We'll bring Yue Bao into the palace first, and we won't announce the pregnancy yet."
"Lord Jiang, I have other matters to attend to, so I'll be leaving now. Please take good care of Yue Bao for me these next few days."
Jiu Gongting really seemed afraid that others wouldn't know that the "Yue Baobao" he was calling was Jiang Jingyue. He was really daring to call her that, even in front of Jiang's father. Jiang's father blushed a little when he heard it.
Seeing that the emperor had left, Jiang's father couldn't help but rub his slightly flushed face.
He rubbed it for a while before he recovered.
Meanwhile, Jiugongting, after returning to the palace, went directly to the morning court session.
The ministers below felt that the emperor seemed very different today.
Normally, the emperor would have a stern face when he attended the morning court session, but today, it was obvious to everyone that the emperor was in a better mood and was smiling the whole time.
"Your Majesty, is there any joyous occasion today? Your Majesty seems to be very happy."
Given this situation, apart from the emperor's friend, General Zhao, who dared to ask directly, no one else would have the guts to do so.
When the Nine Palaces above heard him ask that question, they couldn't help but laugh again.
"You'll find out about this in a few days. I don't want to talk to you about it now. Alright, is there anything else? If not, then we may adjourn the court. I have many things to attend to."
Since the emperor has said so, the others must also be able to read the room.
As soon as Jiu Gongting finished speaking, the ministers below immediately shook their heads.
Jiugongting went to see the Empress Dowager, wanting to share this important matter with his mother.
When the Empress Dowager learned that the Emperor was planning to marry the daughter of a marquis as Empress, her first reaction was to disagree.
"No, how can the daughter of a marquis become empress? I do not agree to this, Your Majesty, you don't need to say anything more."
The Empress Dowager felt that the Marquis's daughter's status was far too low.
She would never agree to be empress.
However, it didn't matter. Jiugongting already knew that the Empress Dowager wouldn't agree, so he immediately looked at the Empress Dowager and said.
"Mother, Yuebao is pregnant. She is carrying my little prince. Just for that reason, how can you still disagree?"
The Empress Dowager didn't react after the Emperor finished speaking, but the Nine Palaces were in no hurry; they could wait.
He didn't say a word, he just kept looking at the Empress Dowager, waiting for her reaction.
He was confident that, no matter what, the Empress Dowager would agree to this matter.
Sure enough, before the Nine Palaces could wait long, the Empress Dowager had already become excited.
"You...you mean to say that the woman you like is pregnant with your child, and that child is yours, is that what you mean?"
The emperor suddenly realized that his mother was a bit foolish; how could she ask such a question?
However, he also knew that the Empress Dowager was acting this way because she was too excited.
So in the end, he simply nodded to the Empress Dowager.
"Mother, please calm down. This is true. So what I'm thinking is to bring her into the palace as soon as possible and have her raised by my side. I can take good care of her."
The Empress Dowager was completely immersed in joy, so she nodded without hesitation.
"Yes, we need to bring the person to the palace as soon as possible. I have experience with this kind of thing, and I can definitely take good care of the person for you. Don't worry about that!"
When Jiugongting brought Jiang Jingyue into the palace, he planned to take care of her himself.
However, when he heard the Empress Dowager say this, he did not refute it.
He felt that what the Empress Dowager said made sense, since she had given birth before and was indeed more experienced than him in this regard.
"Alright, then after I bring Yue Bao to the palace, I will have to trouble you a lot."
This was the first time the Empress Dowager had seen the Emperor like this, and she couldn't help but tease him.
"Oh dear, it seems His Majesty really likes your baby Yue! This name is so cloying, even I find it a bit sickening."
When she spoke of Yue Bao, the Empress Dowager deliberately drew out her words.
It was because of the Empress Dowager's arrival that the Nine Palaces were all embarrassed.
"Mother, please stop teasing me. Yue... Xiao Yue is the first person I've ever loved. I just want to spend the rest of my life with her."
As for the other concubines, I will dismiss them all at that time.
Upon hearing that the emperor wanted to dismiss the harem, the empress dowager wanted to say something, but hesitated for a moment and ultimately did not speak.
Anyway, the emperor always had his own plans, so she couldn't say anything more.
