Chapter 160 Can't girls inherit the throne?
"My mother knows you are pregnant and wants to come to the palace to see you. I will have someone bring her to the palace tomorrow. I've been too busy lately, so I'll feel at ease having her by your side."
"ah?"
Yun Si was naturally delighted to hear that her mother was coming.
However, my sister-in-law has just given birth. How can she, as the mother-in-law, abandon her daughter-in-law and only care about her own daughter?
Yun Si felt that doing this was inappropriate.
"Let's wait a few days, until my sister-in-law is more stable, and until I finish administering acupuncture to His Majesty, before we bring her back."
Upon hearing this, Qin Ye immediately understood Yun Si's meaning and nodded: "Okay, I'll listen to you."
...
Time flies.
Over the next few days, Yun Si gradually began to experience many pregnancy symptoms.
I experienced morning sickness, drowsiness, and wasn't feeling well.
However, for the sake of resolving the matter of Huyan Zheng, no matter how uncomfortable she was every day, she would still insist on giving Emperor Jiaqing acupuncture to clear the remaining poison from his body as soon as possible.
As for his legs, although Yun Si spoke with certainty that he would never be able to stand up and walk again, there were actually ways to help him.
The key is to see if the person is worth the effort to study.
However, Yun Si is not going to give him any hope right now.
After four or five days of acupuncture treatment, Emperor Jiaqing's complexion almost returned to normal, and his body temperature was no longer abnormally cold. Except for the numbness in his legs, he felt fine in all other parts of his body.
After the seven-day acupuncture treatment is completed, daily treatment will no longer be necessary, but medication will still be required, and acupuncture will resume every few days.
The cold poison from Northern Yan has a latent nature; it will take at least six months of observation to determine whether it has been completely eradicated.
Otherwise, the imperial physicians would not have been so careless at the beginning, allowing the cold poison to gradually spread to his internal organs.
Today is the fifth day of acupuncture treatment.
When Yun Si returned to the East Palace from the Hall of Mental Cultivation, she saw Granny Qian and Lan Xin carrying things into the storeroom.
She went over to take a look and found that it was another batch of valuable gifts.
Who delivered it?
These past few days, people have been delivering things to me every day.
For a time, the Crown Prince undoubtedly became the center of attention, surrounded by admirers.
However, at the same time, it can also easily attract jealousy and become a thorn in the side of some people.
"This is a gift from Consort Zhen. She said that she would like to talk to you about something when you have some free time and are feeling better."
As she answered, Granny Qian naturally stepped forward to help Yun Si up, and said with a smile, "This old servant guesses that Consort Zhen wants to talk to the Crown Princess about Miss A Wu."
Great minds think alike.
Yun Si glanced at the distance and saw that A Wu and Xiao Yi were fighting again.
Apply it three times a day.
Xiao Yi's size is getting bigger and bigger, and its speed is getting faster and faster. Before, A Wu could beat it up like a little chick, but now it's hard to even catch up with it.
However, Xiao Yi couldn't hurt A Wu in the slightest.
Previously, there were people secretly watching the Eastern Palace, but after being "unintentionally" injured a few times by this person and beast, they all disappeared.
I simply can't stay there.
The two, one human and one beast, leaped and bounded about, and no matter where they hid or how well they concealed themselves, they were always precisely caught in the crossfire, ending up covered in injuries.
In the past two days, Yun Si discovered that all the people hiding around the East Palace had disappeared.
"And these too."
Granny Qian pointed to a pile of brocade boxes on the other side and said, "They are all precious medicinal herbs, tonics, silks and satins, and jewelry. Some were given by the Empress, and others by several concubines and noble ladies."
Yun Si frowned slightly as she looked at these things.
"Granny, register all these things in a book, make sure you remember them clearly, and later find a reason to send back some gifts of equal value."
"This old servant understands."
With Granny Qian around, Yun Si felt at ease and had peace of mind.
What she could think of, the nanny would only be more meticulous and thoughtful than she was.
"Your Highness, please go inside and rest. For lunch today, the Imperial Kitchen has prepared some appetizing dishes. I heard that His Highness found the recipes among the common people when he had some free time. You must try them later."
"Yeah?"
Upon hearing this, Yun Si felt a slight warmth in her heart.
Qin Ye has been extremely busy lately, but he still worries about her not being able to eat.
"I see."
Not long after Yun Si entered the house, Qin Ye returned from outside.
No matter how busy he is, he comes back several times a day, as if he can't rest easy if he doesn't come back to check on things.
"Aren't you tired from traveling back and forth like this every day?"
Yun Si got up and went over to help him take off his cloak.
"I'll stay here safely, I won't run away, and I won't get lost..."
"I'm not tired."
Qin Ye interrupted her, then picked her up by the waist and carried her to a soft chair, letting her sit on his lap.
"You've worked harder than me."
He held her hand, stared intently at her face for a while, and frowned, saying, "You seem to have lost some weight these past two days. Try today's meal first and see if it suits your taste. If it doesn't, I'll think of something else."
"Don't make things difficult for yourself. Morning sickness is a normal reaction. It will only last for a little over a month, and then it will be fine."
"More than a month?"
Qin Ye frowned even more, his voice full of heartache: "It's going to take this long?"
He imagined her unable to eat every day, and felt that it was even more agonizing than dealing with government affairs and various crises day after day.
“Yun Si”.
He suddenly looked at her seriously and earnestly: "We'll only have this one, and we'll never have any more after this one is born."
Yun Si paused slightly: "Then... what if it's a girl?"
"Girls are better."
Without hesitation, Qin Ye replied, "I prefer girls, definitely girls like you."
"But……"
Yun Si felt that having only one child was unrealistic.
He doesn't take concubines or marry secondary wives, and he won't have any more daughters if he wants to. No wonder the old emperor is so angry.
"You are the crown prince, and there must be someone to inherit the throne."
"Can't girls inherit the family line?"
Qin Ye's question left Yun Si completely stunned.
He didn't seem to be joking at all.
"You...you're not serious, are you?"
Yun Si was shocked by his idea.
"If Your Majesty knew..."
He won't know.
Just then, Lanxin brought in lunch with the palace servants.
The side dishes did look refreshing and appetizing, especially the bowl of sour bamboo shoot and shredded chicken soup, which exuded an enticing sour aroma.
The conversation was thus interrupted.
Qin Ye personally ladled out a small bowl of soup, blew on it to warm it up, and then handed it to Yun Si's lips: "Try this, I heard it's very effective in relieving morning sickness."
Yun Si took a small sip from his hand, and the tangy taste instantly melted in her mouth, actually suppressing the surging discomfort.
Her eyes lit up slightly, and she nodded: "It's delicious."
Qin Ye's tense expression relaxed, as if he had won a battle, and a smile appeared in his eyes.
"Drink more if you like."
He patiently fed her spoonful by spoonful, watching her slowly finish the small bowl of soup and eat some refreshing vegetables. He felt more satisfied than anything else.
"By the way, Huyan Yu'er has woken up, and she wants to see you."
