"Why did you arrive so early, my lady?"
"Oh, is that something you should be asking?" Mr. Chen thought anxiously.
"I came to see my father since he came."
Chen's father felt a tremor in his heart every time His Majesty called him "Father," he felt incredibly uneasy!
What were you just talking about?
"Of course I mean my wife is good to me," Chen Zhiyan said coquettishly.
Mr. Chen felt that not only was his heart not very good, but his eyesight was also not very good.
He then wanted to leave immediately.
"Father, why don't you have lunch before you leave?"
Chen Zhiyan chimed in, "Yes."
Mr. Chen dared not refuse, so he stayed.
Therefore, I went from being terrified at the beginning to taking it in stride later.
Watching the two of them eat as if they were in the throes of a blissful honeymoon, without needing anyone to serve them food, and even having to pick food for each other, only made the atmosphere more enviable. It was as if they weren't an emperor and empress, but an ordinary husband and wife.
After witnessing the interaction between the two, Chen's father was no longer worried about his son. It would be strange if His Majesty could change his mind; he treated his son like a precious gem.
Nothing anyone says can sway him anymore.
Yes, it's not that no one is badmouthing him, whether it's out of jealousy or genuine belief.
He also feared that one day his son would be disliked by the emperor, and he couldn't imagine his son, Yan'er, dying of old age in the deep palace.
But now he's not afraid anymore; his son is the luckiest person in the world.
Meanwhile, in a certain village.
A woman with a dark complexion suddenly opened her eyes.
Since becoming pregnant, Chen Zhiyan has been extremely busy every day, not only managing the harem but also coaxing his wife.
The wife wished she could stay in his Phoenix Palace all day long, and would often talk nonsense into his belly, which looked rather creepy. The wife even called it prenatal education.
She would also often take him for walks around the palace, saying it was good for his health.
Chen Zhiyan always felt like he had another child even though his own child hadn't been born yet.
However, whenever he sewed clothes for the children, his wife would cry out that she had fallen out of favor.
He used to make clothes for her, but now that she has a child, he doesn't make them for her anymore.
Startled, Chen Zhiyan had no choice but to put down the half-finished garment she was knitting, thinking to herself, "With a mother like this, my poor son is truly pitiful."
Until Chen Zhiyan's belly grew bigger day by day.
"Your Majesty, the Empress may be carrying twins this time."
Wei Wangqing was overjoyed and exclaimed, "How come Ayan's belly is so big?"
She's going to have two children!
“Ayan.” Wei Wangqing looked at Chen Zhiyan.
Chen Zhiyan also rubbed his belly and laughed heartily.
"What should we be careful about?" Wei Wangqing asked hurriedly. Isn't the risk greater when pregnant with twins?
She couldn't accept anything happening to Ayan!
Chen Zhiyan also held his wife's hand, assuring her that he would be alright.
"Pay close attention to your diet. Your Majesty is in good health and does not need any medication. Just eat more nourishing foods. Also, get plenty of rest and avoid overexertion. Sleeping on your left side is recommended. Remember, you must not have sexual intercourse."
Normally, she wouldn't need to remind him of this, but everyone knows that His Majesty only has one man in his harem. What if he can't resist?
Wei Wangqing nodded, "I understand. I'll trouble the imperial physicians to take good care of him during this time."
"Oh, no, no, this is my duty."
"Okay, go down."
"My lady." Chen Zhiyan looked at Wei Wangqing; he could no longer serve her.
Wei Wangqing could tell what Chen Zhiyan was thinking just by looking at him, and couldn't help but find it a little funny: "What are you trying to say?"
He would never allow another man to serve his wife, so...
"Please bear with me for now, my wife. I will repay you after I recover." Chen Zhiyan stammered these words, extremely shy.
Wei Wangqing was also surprised by the unexpected joy and said with a smile, "I am not a lustful person, but since you are willing to offer yourself, I have no choice but to accept it."
Chen Zhiyan was furious. "Not lustful? We're clearly in bed..."
Hmph! You're getting the benefit and then acting innocent!
But he knew that his wife meant she agreed. Although Chen Zhiyan knew that his wife would not look for someone else, he was still more at ease after receiving the guarantee.
After learning that Chen Zhiyan was pregnant with twins, Wei Wangqing became even more careful and protective, fearing that something might happen to Chen Zhiyan. Meanwhile, the reputation of the Empress's doting husband gradually spread.
Wei Wangqing became increasingly adept at politics; perhaps it was simply her natural talent for this profession.
Another Lunar New Year's Eve has arrived, but this year Wei Wangqing has changed from being a participant to being the host.
Originally, Wei Wangqing didn't want to spend New Year's Eve with so many people. She just wanted to spend some time alone with her Ayan, since it would be a world of four after they had a child.
But the ministers disagreed. This year is His Majesty's first year on the throne. How can we not hold a New Year's Eve banquet?
Wei Wangqing was not one to ignore advice, so he agreed.
If you're going to do something, you should do it to the best of your ability.
Wei Wangqing thought of the injustices she witnessed when she was a princess. She had neither the ability nor the right to intervene before, but now that she had the ability and the responsibility, she wanted to make Great Wei a better place.
After all, this is closely related to her own life.
Only when a country is strong will no one dare to bully it.
Wei Wangqing planned to start by raising the status of merchants. Firstly, this was not too difficult; she could simply make some hints herself. Secondly, this would not harm the interests of many people, so there would not be many people opposing it.
The others are not urgent; they need to be addressed gradually and systematically.
