"Your Majesty, why are you laughing for no reason in the middle of the night?"
In the middle of the night, Zhang Yingzhen was woken up by Zhu Gaotian's laughter in bed. In the middle of the night, she suddenly heard someone laughing around her. It was very scary!
But Zhu Gaoyan seemed not to hear it and continued to sleep soundly there.
"His Majesty……?"
Zhang Yingzhen asked tentatively in a low voice, and found that Zhu Gaotian was indeed still asleep.
Could it be that I was too happy because I went to the Ministry of Industry tonight and found such a loyal minister?
In fact, Zhu Gaoyang always dreamed of having such ministers, including Yang Shiqi, Su Wu, and the five battalions under his command.
But they are all manifested in politics, country governance, military and other major aspects, and are not very proficient in making various instruments.
As the saying goes, there are people who learn the Tao first and then specialize in skills. Zhu Gaoying never expected that the person he randomly recruited from western Sichuan would have outstanding abilities and unparalleled loyalty!
Not only did the task of printing banknotes be completed in a short period of time, but even today's steam engines and locomotives are changing drastically every day. It can be said that the progress is super fast!
If there is another minister like this, I am afraid that Zhu Gaoyan will be able to wake up from his dream with a smile tonight!
But now he was only laughing in his dreams and seemed quite restrained.
Zhang Yingzhen looked at Zhu Gaoyan who was still sleeping and couldn't help curling her lips.
Your Majesty, it's a good thing for you, you directly formed the cabinet and saved tomorrow's morning meeting, but I am different, I am also a member of the cabinet.
Forget it, it's better to go to bed quickly, otherwise you will lose energy again tomorrow.
At the same time, she began to envy Zhu Gaoying again. Before, he could work so late every night, but he looked so energetic when he went to court the next morning, as if he had endless energy.
My own piece of land is still too small, and I must immediately find more fertile land for His Majesty.
By the way, the envoys sent to Silla should have responded, maybe just bring their princess over?
Forget it, forget it, don't think about it anymore, let's talk about these things until tomorrow, go to bed quickly, otherwise you will really have to go to the cabinet tomorrow with dark circles under your eyes.
…
In the early morning of the next day, Zhang Yingzhen, as expected, did not sleep well all night again.
"My dear concubine, why do you have such big dark circles under your eyes like that Zhang Qixin?"
Zhu Gaotian didn't know that he laughed from time to time last night, which made Zhang Yingzhen unable to sleep well all night.
Zhang Yingzhen rolled her eyes at Zhu Gaoyan again, and you asked if it was you who did it.
"I felt unwell yesterday, so I didn't sleep well. Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty!"
"Feeling unwell? What's wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere? Call the imperial doctor quickly!"
"Come here, help me and my concubine change clothes!"
When Zhu Gaoying heard that Zhang Yingzhen was feeling unwell, he quickly got up and dressed.
Seeing Zhu Gaotian caring about her so much, Zhang Yingzhen was very moved. The resentment accumulated in her heart last night disappeared in an instant.
"Your Majesty, my concubine is really fine now. Just wait until she comes back from the cabinet and have a good rest!"
Zhang Yingzhen knew that she just didn't sleep well.
"How can that be done? You are dealing with such an important matter as the queen's health. How can you be careless? The imperial doctor will be here soon. Don't go to the cabinet today!"
But Zhu Gaoyan doesn't think so, and the queen is his only queen. He has not yet made up for the debt he has owed to her over the years. How can Zhang Yingzhen make any mistakes?
Under the service of the palace maid, Zhang Yingzhen quickly got dressed and walked out.
"Oh, my concubine is not feeling well, why should she get out of bed? Just lie down on the bed!"
Although Zhang Yingzhen enjoys the feeling of being cared for and taken care of, she also knows that as a queen, she must behave like a queen and must not be so weak, not to mention that she is not in serious trouble now.
At this time, the imperial doctor was also hurriedly called here early in the morning.
"Long live your Majesty, a thousand live the Queen!"
"Don't ask for permission, come and give my beloved concubine a quick diagnosis and treatment!"
Because the queen's body is noble and cannot be touched by ordinary people, diagnosing the pulse with Xuansi is almost a necessary skill for the palace doctors.
The imperial doctor checked for a long time and found no disease. Instead, he knelt down with excitement on his face.
"Your Majesty, the Queen's health is not serious, she is just pregnant, with a dragon child in her belly!"
Pregnant?
Zhang Yingzhen is unbelievable, how could it be so fast?
But after thinking about it, it seems right. Your Majesty spends so many hours every day and several times a night, so she should have been pregnant long ago.
I should have expected it a long time ago!
"This is true!"
"Judging from Wei Chen's medical practice for so many years, it is absolutely true that the queen is feeling unwell, and it is probably because of this reason!"
"Okay, great!"
Zhu Gaotian was also full of surprises. He heard that his wife was pregnant for the first time, and realized that he was going to be a father for the first time. After the brief surprise, Zhu Gaotian hugged Zhang Yingzhen.
"My dear concubine, from now on, you can rest assured to raise your body here. You don't have to worry about any cabinet matters. I will naturally take care of them for you. You only need to rest assured and raise your baby in the palace!"
"You go down too and go to the Ministry of Revenue to collect the reward!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty. I would like to congratulate Your Majesty!"
The emperor was happy, they had money to take, and the imperial doctor was happy from the bottom of his heart.
"His Majesty……"
"Okay, my dear, you don't need to say anything, I know everything!"
At this time, Zhang Yingzhen began to worry about gains and losses. Although it was a good thing to be pregnant with a dragon, she didn't know whether the baby would be a boy or a girl.
If the first child is a princess...I'm afraid, His Majesty and the other concubines will most likely give birth to a prince, and it is impossible for him to be pregnant with another child in the next year...
Although Zhang Yingzhen has never cared about these struggles for power, intrigues in the harem have always been inevitable. Even if she is not thinking about herself, she must make plans for the fetus in the attached high school.
They can't let others take advantage of them!
"Don't worry, my beloved, I really love you, not the fetus in your belly, so I promise you that this queen will always be yours!"
"His Majesty……"
"And what do you have to worry about, my beloved? No one in the entire harem has the right to interfere in government affairs except you. And coupled with your status as queen, your rights in the cabinet are actually no less than any other.
The minister is here!"
Having said this, Zhang Yingzhen suddenly realized that, yes, she was not like the previous concubines in the palace, who had no power and no power, but relied on His Majesty's favor and the support of ministers.
But now, she is a full-fledged official with real power.
At the same time, the news that the Queen was pregnant was spread throughout the palace before the cabinet meeting was held.
