Their every word and action is under her control, and several of them are already on her special focus list.
The emperor originally had many concubines, and those who had never slept with him were also released by Yun Xi, as palace maids. The emperor didn't like women, so why bother keeping them and wasting time? It would be better for them to go home and do what they needed to do. Even though there were only 25 concubines left, there were still so many things to do. Concubine Shu was stirring up trouble everywhere, and Concubine De was getting more angry every day...
Really energetic.
"Host, host, the queen is pregnant."
"What? Really?" Yun Xi said happily, "Can you confirm the gender?"
"Okay, I'll do a chromosome test," the system quickly replied. "It's XY. The embryo is healthy."
"Yes, yes, it means the emperor is in good health."
As for women, as long as they can get pregnant, there is no major problem with their health.
"Xiu'er, I have a recipe here. You can take it to the queen and stay there to take care of her."
Yun Xi quickly copied a pregnancy diet menu from the system and gave it to Xiu'er.
"Don't you know something about medicine? Take good care of the queen."
Xiu'er took the recipe and looked at it, then raised her head in surprise, "This is..."
"Shh~ Go do it."
Xiuer smiled happily, "Yes!"
To be precise, Xiu'er is not good at medicine, but she knows about spices and some food and drug incompatibilities. Xiu'er was of great help in the original owner's pregnancy and safe birth.
Kunning Palace
"Your Majesty, Madam Xiu from the Empress Dowager's office is here."
"What is she doing here? Please ask her to come in." The queen was worried because the reduction of monthly wages had caused dissatisfaction among many people. Fortunately, the emperor spoke up for her and the situation was barely suppressed.
"Xiu'er meets the Queen."
Nanny Xiu bowed.
The Queen asked kindly, "Aunt Xiu, please stand up. Do you have any instructions from the Queen Mother?"
"Yes, the Queen Mother ordered me to take good care of the Queen and return after she gives birth to the prince. This is the recipe written by the Queen Mother herself." Xiu'er handed over the recipe.
"Bird's nest soup, donkey-hide gelatin, vegetables, nuts, fruits..."
Aunt Mo glanced at Xiu'er inexplicably, "Madame Xiu, these are all mild foods. They are what pregnant women often eat, right?"
"Yes."
Aunt Xiu winked.
The Queen opened her mouth wide, "Are you saying I'm pregnant?"
It’s only been half a month since my first bed.
"Of course! How could the Empress Dowager be wrong? If she said you are pregnant, then you must be pregnant. If the Empress doesn't believe it, you can ask the imperial physician to take your pulse." Xiu'er said as a matter of course.
"Okay!" The Queen took a deep breath, "Aunt Mo, please go in person and ask His Majesty to bring the best imperial physician."
"Yes!"
Not long after, the emperor followed.
"Is the Queen feeling unwell?"
"See Your Majesty."
"No need to be polite."
"Your Majesty, I am not feeling unwell. I just want to ask the imperial physician to check my pulse." The queen kept the secret.
Lian Cheng: "Okay, Doctor Du, please take the Queen's pulse carefully."
Imperial Physician Du was an expert in gynecology. He took out a thin piece of silk and placed it on the Queen's wrist. He gently placed his fingers on it. After a long moment, he said conservatively, "Your Majesty, it seems to be a pregnancy pulse. It's just that it's been so short, I'm not sure."
"It turned out to be true!"
The emperor was completely dumbfounded. What kind of mentality was that? It was very mysterious, as if a hundred flowers were blooming before his eyes. Only those who have never had children can feel it.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty?" Aunt Xiu smiled brightly and said auspicious words, "Congratulations, Your Majesty, congratulations, Your Majesty, you have a child, a legitimate son."
After a long while, Lian Cheng finally reacted. He was overjoyed and laughed out loud, "Great! Rewards! There are rewards for everything! The Queen is very much in my favor. Zhang Lai, go to the storehouse and bring the top-grade soft smoke silk and top-grade floating light brocade to Kunning Palace. Also, bring the hundred-year-old ginseng and the Tianshan snow lotus. Bring anything you think is useful."
The queen pursed her lips, gently stroked her belly, and said with a smile: "Thank you, Your Majesty. I can't believe we are going to have a child."
"You have worked hard these years, Queen. Take good care of your pregnancy and don't overthink it. Try to give birth to a legitimate son for me and a crown prince for the Kingdom of Lian."
Lian Cheng was so happy.
"Your Majesty, I will do as you say."
Aunt Xiu took advantage of the opportunity and quickly came forward to say, "Your Majesty, I've heard from the people that if a husband stays by his wife's side during her pregnancy, reading, talking, and playing the piano to the unborn child every day, the child will feel the love of his parents and will be more clever and filial when he is born."
"Is there still such a thing?"
Lian Cheng looked at Imperial Physician Du.
Imperial Physician Du was slightly taken aback, then agreed, "Your Majesty, this is not without reason. By the seventh or eighth month, the fetus can already sense the mother's emotions and understand some words. A harmonious family brings peace of mind, and a peaceful mind brings smooth qi."
"Okay, okay, Zhang Lai, write this down. When I have time in the future, I will come to read and play the piano for the prince, and try to give birth to a little child prodigy." Lian Cheng said immediately.
Zhang Lai had just brought the reward and nodded quickly upon hearing this, "I've made a note of it."
Xiu'er grinned, half of the Queen Mother's order was completed.
In this way, the emperor went to Kunning Palace more and more diligently every day. He would occasionally chat with the children, read some poems from the Book of Songs, and even play the piano for the children himself.
Yun Xi was very satisfied. The feeling of being a father was something that no other man could give to the emperor. When the emperor enjoyed the happiness of family and understood his responsibilities as a father, and considering human nature of getting bored with the old and liking the new, she would see if he still liked men.
Three months later, life went on as usual.
In Renshou Palace, a palace maid whispered in Concubine Meng's ear: "Concubine, there's news from outside that the Empress is pregnant."
"Then I must congratulate Her Majesty the Queen."
Concubine Meng's tone was sour.
"My Lady, there's news from below."
Nanny Yue handed over a note.
Yun Xi took it and looked at it, then said speechlessly, "Shu Fei is trying to stir up trouble. She's really not giving up. Yue'er, release all the maids around the concubines. Anyone in Renshou Palace who has come into contact with the concubines should be sent to the Jinyiwei and Silijian for a thorough investigation. We should take this opportunity to purge all those with ulterior motives in Renshou Palace."
Nanny Yue nodded seriously, "I understand."
"Well, you and Zhong'er should supervise the palace maids well, and Feng An will be in charge of the eunuchs." Yun Xi said again.
"Yes, by the way, this is a gift from Ling Zhaoyi."
Yun Xi took it and looked at it. "What does she want to do with fifty thousand taels?"
Nanny Yue said, "Zhaoyi Ling told me privately that she wanted a separate room. It's inconvenient to have a room all to herself, and she'll get bullied."
"The big bunk bed is indeed uncomfortable. You can arrange one for her." Yun Xi raised the corner of her mouth, "Give her a bigger one." After all, it was fifty thousand taels, she was really rich.
"it is good."
Two days later, Yue'er reported that Concubine Lin had failed to climb into the emperor's bed and was grounded. Yun Xi just smiled and said nothing. This guy is really talented. He thought that because the empress was pregnant, he would think that the emperor liked the opposite sex? Naive.
