Yan Wan's hand was still on her small abdomen, making a protective gesture that could easily be associated with something. The empress dowager was immediately happy, and she said happily, "Wan-fei, come to This Dowager's side and tell This Dowager what happened?"
Yan Wan was currently smiling discreetly. Even when she came to the empress dowager's side, she didn't forget to look at the emperor affectionately. The empress dowager merely smiled, appearing very happy as well.
Yan Wan walked up to the empress dowager and bowed. "Imperial Mother."
The empress dowager immediately held her back with a benevolent smile. "Hurry and sit down, hurry and sit down. Tell This Dowager what happened?"
Yan Wan's smile was gentle. "In reply to mother, chenqie's appetite hasn't been good lately and I haven't gotten a diagnosis from the imperial physician."
The empress dowager immediately ordered, "Quick, hurry and call the imperial physician over. Let Wan-fei see what's going on."
The eunuchs and eunuchs below immediately jogged to find the imperial physician. The people inside had their own thoughts, the concubines in the servants' hands were about to tear the kernels apart. What was there to not understand?
However, before they were confirmed, everyone still maintained a wait-and-see attitude, anxiously waiting for the imperial physician to arrive. The only people who were completely unaffected were Shen Qi and Chu Mu.
Shen Qi held on to Chu Yu and teased her, she did not cry nor make a fuss, and did not even know if her limelight was taken away by others, she could not help but laugh in her heart, it's better to be a child, it's simple!
Before the imperial physician arrived, the palace maids would lead the female servants to the back to avoid them. Yan Wan would then be taken to a side hall next to the empress dowager's sleeping quarters, where she would lie down on the bed and draw down the curtains.
The moment the imperial physician entered the room, he discovered that the Tzu Ning Palace was bustling with noise and excitement today. The emperor was actually here as well, and being stared at by two of the most respected figures in the palace all of a sudden made him feel extremely pressured. The sweat on his forehead flowed down.
It was too late to retire now, so she could only brace herself and go forward to pay her respects. Before the emperor could speak, the empress dowager impatiently waved her hand. "Imperial Physician Wei doesn't need to be so courteous, quickly show it to the Wan-fei. Her appetite hasn't been good lately."
When Imperial Physician Wei heard this, he heaved a sigh of relief. As long as it wasn't some major event, he might even receive some sort of reward today.
After relaxing, he was immediately escorted by a eunuch to check his pulse. He walked to the bed and knelt down immediately, lowering his head. Without further ado, a palace maid covered Wan-fei's extended wrist with a kernels, and then respectfully said: "Please, Imperial Physician Wei."
Imperial Physician Wei stretched out his hand and said, "Sorry." Then he started to concentrate on cutting the meridian. The moment he touched the meridian, his heart that was hanging in the air was finally relieved. It really was the meridian.
"Congratulations your majesty, congratulations to the empress dowager, congratulations to the Wan-fei, it's just that the month is still too short, you still need to pay more attention."
Although the empress dowager had already guessed it, it was still a pleasant surprise after she was diagnosed. Furthermore, at this time, the eunuchs and palace mama from Tzu Ning Palace congratulated the empress dowager as well, causing her to feel even better. She smiled brilliantly.
The palace eunuch and the imperial physician thanked the empress dowager together. The empress dowager waved her hand and ordered the eunuch to send Imperial Physician Wei away.
At this moment, the concubines inside had already found out about the situation outside and maintained a smile on the surface. However, the kernels in their hands had already been twisted into a disfigured state.
The other concubines were either unwilling or envious and jealous, but not a single one of them showed such obvious hatred.
When the Shen Fei heard the news of Yan Wan's pregnancy, he immediately felt immense hatred. If not for her, how could her Fifth Prince's body be so weak? She was quite pleased with herself now. What about her son?
When everyone gathered once again, they discovered that Yan Wan was smiling gently in front of the empress dowager. The happiness brimming from her face directly stung the eyes of the other consorts, but they were unresigned. Some of them were even maliciously cursing in their hearts. Even if she was born, she didn't know if it was a man or a woman.
It had been a long time, what was there to be proud of?
Yet, they all wore happy expressions as they affectionately went forward to congratulate Yan Wan, the empress dowager, and the emperor.
The empress dowager's face was filled with joy. When the emperor saw the consorts, he suddenly looked towards Qin Xiang, only to discover that she still had a carefree expression on her face. He didn't know whether he should feel comforted or disappointed.
After realizing that he had lost his composure, he immediately turned around, revealing a joyful smile on his face.
No one had noticed his abnormality, but it was only by a hair's breadth. Even if Qin Xiang had felt it, she remained calm and collected. Her identity was destined to end up like this for the rest of her life.
Shen Qi, on the other hand, looked at Yan Wan with a strange expression. She thought that she had become smarter, but didn't expect her to be so stupid.
However, all of this had nothing to do with her. It would be fine to just take a look and hide as far away as possible when the time came.
As for the empress dowager, when she saw the beginning, she had Shen Qi carry her and pass it to her. The empress dowager hugged the beginning with a happy smile, "This empress dowager's good granddaughter is a lucky star. This brought the credit back to the beginning.
The empress and the other concubines naturally wouldn't refuse to give the empress dowager this kind of face. Not only would they make the empress and empress dowager happy, they would also suppress the Wan-fei's momentum.
For a moment, the entire Tzu Ning Palace was in harmony with one another, and even they started to praise Princess Changning. Shen Qi, who was watching from the side, had the corner of her mouth twitching.
Yan Wan, on the other hand, had a rigid smile on her face. Since when did her pregnancy become the work of a baby like her?
Moreover, no matter how much she was pampered, it couldn't cover up the fact that she was just a little girl. She didn't want a daughter; she wanted a son!
Thus, when everyone was praising the beginning of the battle, she was unwilling to step forward, afraid that she would lose her chance of producing a prince if she touched the beginning of the battle.
Shen Qi watched on from the side as Yan Wan continued to treat her daughter with fear, while the other consorts continued to use her daughter as a target. She couldn't help but feel a little angry, thinking that she should fight for her however she wanted, so she shouldn't drag my daughter into this.
Therefore, she walked up to him, "Mother, your son's wife should be tired by now. Take her to rest."
Although she was smiling, these concubines who were used to observing her words immediately felt that she was not in a very good mood. As a result, they all felt a little guilty. After all, they knew their own thoughts.
The empress dowager didn't think too much about it. She hastened to look at Ning Xuemo as soon as she heard she was tired. She discovered that she really seemed withered, but she still obediently sat in her arms without crying or making a fuss. Her heart immediately ached.
He quickly passed it to Shen Qi, "Quickly take her to rest." He touched Chu Yu's face and said with a pained tone, "I have wronged my dear granddaughter."
Shen Qi smiled as she replied. She took the first bow to the empress dowager and went to the side hall next door to rest. After they left, the emperor got up and left as well.
The empress dowager left a few words of advice for Yan Wan before letting her go. Once again, this scene caused the other imperial concubines to feel infuriated. Someone with a backer was truly different!
Shen Qi carried Chu Yi to the side hall. After returning to her mother's embrace, she regained some of her spirit, and finally revealed a smile. Shen Qi lovingly kissed her little face, then hugged her and fed her milk.
After playing with her for so long, she was truly a little tired at first, but after she finished drinking her milk, she fell asleep. The moment Shen Qi laid her on the bed, she placed a thin blanket on her stomach.
When he saw that his daughter was already asleep, he unconsciously took a few steps back. When he saw that the princess looked upset, he pursed his lips, placed his hand on her shoulder and said softly, "Let's go home after dinner."
Although he didn't know what was going on, if his wangfei wasn't happy about it, it was better for him to go back earlier.
Shen Qi nodded her head. Actually, she did not want to let Chu Yu stay in the palace for too long, she felt that it would be dangerous at any time.
"It seems like I couldn't smell that rich, fatty powder in the beginning, but today, I feel a bit listless." She could be considered to have indirectly explained why she was in a bad mood.
Upon hearing this, King Yu revealed a smile. "This King can't smell it either." Then, she faced Shen Qi and took a deep breath. Her body always emitted a pure and refreshing fragrance. Previously, it was a light rose fragrance, but now, it was a light Jasmine fragrance that carried a bit of a tea fragrance.
Before this, she did not need to use makeup, and after the initial stages of life, all spices were eliminated. She was afraid that the children would not be able to handle it.
After finding out that his daughter was just like him, causing King Xian to suddenly feel unable to breathe in the scent of makeup was a rather lofty characteristic, his mood inexplicably improved.
After accompanying the empress dowager for lunch, they decided to return to the estate after waking up. There were actually many matters that needed to be taken care of after returning to the capital.
The empress dowager was a little reluctant, she had wanted to let Chu Yu stay in the palace for the first time, but knowing that she couldn't separate from the wangfei in the first place, she had no choice but to give up. She could only withdraw and request for Shen Qi to bring along the early stages of the palace to visit her frequently.
At this time, Shen Qi was still rejoicing. Fortunately she was the one feeding the milk, otherwise, she wouldn't know how to reject the empress dowager. She didn't want her daughter to be raised in front of others, even if it was the same for the empress dowager.
After returning to the King's Mansion, Forge handed her a bidding card. "Royal Consort, this is a gift from the Duke of Guo's estate."
Hearing that, Shen Qi laughed, the person who passed him the invitation was probably Xie Shihan, after walking for so long, it was time to gather.
However, no matter what, they had to make a trip back to Shang Shu Manor tomorrow, so they would have to push things backwards for a few days.
After they had returned to the capital, they had already sent someone to Shang Shu Manor to inform them that they would return tomorrow. No matter what, it was their duty, so they would naturally not go back on their words.
At this time, Shen Qi remembered to ask Situ Ye who had followed them back, "Your Highness, is Senior Brother ready?"
King Xian nodded. "You don't have to worry about him. This King will make the necessary arrangements."
Shen Qi laughed and nodded. That's good, they will not be idle during this period of time, do not leave Situ Ye alone.
After all, he had come back with them. If they didn't care about him anymore, how would he be able to return back to his original position when he was unfamiliar with the place? It wasn't so good after all.
Since the Duke already knew what Shen Qi was thinking, Shen Qi didn't ask anymore. She went back to instruct them that she needed to prepare something, and that she would be going to Shang Shu Manor tomorrow.
