Mr. Lin's face was naturally filled with joy, but the faces of the others were not very pretty.
For example, the second lady and Lin Guangzhi.
As for Prime Minister Lin and Princess Rongkang, they didn't make any big moves.
Then it was Princess Rongkang who sent the nanny beside her to say.
"Go and call the doctor over and let Aunt Guo take a look."
"yes."
Aunt Guo had already confirmed her pregnancy, and the reason she chose to reveal it at this time was just to give herself and her child more life-saving charms.
Otherwise, in the back house, there are many ways to make her lose the child without anyone noticing.
Especially for her pregnancy, she had already found a sage outside to confirm that it must be a boy.
Therefore, she has to be more careful.
It was a big holiday and the government doctor came in a hurry.
I thought something big was going on, but as soon as I entered the door, I was summoned by Mr. Lin.
"Quickly, give Aunt Guo a good look. Why did you faint suddenly?"
faint?
The doctor in the government felt a little strange. This aunt was usually in good health, so how could she suddenly faint?
So I immediately took my pulse.
Everyone held their breath and waited for the doctor's answer. After a while, the doctor smiled.
"Congratulations to the prime minister, congratulations to the princess, congratulations to the second master, Aunt Guo is more than four months pregnant."
"What, really?"
Both Mr. Lin and Aunt Guo looked in disbelief.
It's just that the former one was really unexpected, but the latter one was just pretending.
When she heard that she was more than four months pregnant, Mrs. Wang was filled with hatred.
After so many years, I haven't heard that she was pregnant again, and I thought it would never happen again.
Who knew that something like this would happen at this moment? It's so infuriating.
The second master doesn’t know, that’s for sure.
Otherwise, with his love for Aunt Guo, he would not have been able to hide it for so long.
But it's not necessarily true whether Aunt Guo really doesn't know.
She had never had a good impression of Aunt Guo, so naturally she thought the worst about her.
When Prime Minister Lin heard the news, he glanced at Princess Rongkang.
Seeing that she also had a look of astonishment, he coughed twice and said.
"Since you are pregnant, don't stand. Sit down and eat together. Take what you need to take. The most important thing is to give birth to the baby safely."
"Thank you father."
"Thank you, Mr. Prime Minister, for your consideration."
So Mr. Lin helped Aunt Guo to sit next to him. His cautious look made Mr. Wang, the second wife, very unhappy.
But what if I'm not happy?
Her father-in-law and mother-in-law are all here. If she acts too jealous, won't she give them a reason to talk?
I had no choice but to remain silent.
On the contrary, Lin Guangzhi on the side looked at Aunt Guo with great disdain.
He didn't even look down upon the concubine next to him.
Lin Jingshu was caught between everyone. It was wrong whether she was happy or not.
However, Aunt Guo felt her daughter's uneasiness and stretched out her hand under the table to comfort her.
In the eyes of others, a son may be more important than a daughter.
But she is different. For her, her daughter is the same as her unborn son, they are her sweetheart.
He is someone who will risk his life to protect him.
Lin Jingshu felt the pity from her biological mother, and her uneasy mood gradually calmed down.
Then he gave a slight smile.
So the family started eating again, but some were very happy while others didn't know how to taste it.
Compared with the sweet-faced and bitter-hearted atmosphere in the Prime Minister's Mansion, there is harmony in Wen's former residence.
When Dong Yuzhong came to report, Lin Wanyi laughed out loud.
"Your Majesty, are you sure you won't be discovered by others if you do this?"
The emperor glanced at her sideways and then added.
"What are you afraid of? Dong Yuzhong can arrange a show. The concubine who was scolded and sad has already returned to Yihua Palace. She was afraid of being embarrassed and covered her face with a handkerchief and hurried back in a chariot."
Lin Wanyi glanced at Dong Yuzhong in surprise, then smiled and replied when she saw him.
"Miss Chunqi's figure is similar to that of the empress, so she took her place."
"So, was the cooking pot we just ate made by Chunqi?"
"Well, your girl's cooking skills are indeed extraordinary. I've only seen her once and she can cook much better than the imperial kitchen. You are a lucky person."
Lin Wanyi suddenly realized, no wonder, there was a familiar smell in the cooking pot just now.
However, she didn't expect that it would be Chunqi who came to do it.
So he said something jokingly.
"Your Majesty doesn't want Chunqi to serve in front of the emperor, right?"
"What are you talking about? If I want to eat, I can go to your palace. What do you want her to do?"
The emperor kept it clean.
He likes Chunqi's craftsmanship, but not Chunqi the person.
If he "offended" Lin Wanyi because of such a trivial matter, wouldn't he lose more than he gains?
So I explained it immediately.
Seeing him say this, Lin Wanyi smiled.
Smile sincerely and with a hint of ridicule.
The emperor coughed twice and then said.
"Earlier in the palace, I asked you what you wanted as a congratulatory gift. You only said that you wanted to hear me play a piece of music. What kind of congratulatory gift was that? So I specially prepared something else today. Maybe you will like it."
Lin Wanyi had no idea that by making this trip, she would not only be able to spend New Year's Eve alone with the emperor, but she would also receive belated gifts.
So I asked out of curiosity.
"What has your Majesty prepared?"
"You'll find out later."
So he winked at Dong Yuzhong and saw him turn around and leave Wen's former residence.
A traitorous emperor and a confused Lin Wanyi were left behind.
Not long after, there was movement outside.
The rumble was like thunder, and Lin Wanyi looked puzzled.
The emperor opened the window and asked her to look out the window.
"It's fireworks!"
"Um."
Every year on New Year's Eve, Shengjing City will set off fireworks to show that the country is peaceful and the people are safe, and everything is peaceful.
It's the same this year.
In the past, Lin Wanyi always watched from outside the palace.
This year, I watched it with the emperor at Qian'an Hall.
I have to say, this location is really great.
Even if they were just standing in the room, they could see clearly.
It's just that these fireworks are obviously held every year, so why would the emperor say it was a birthday gift for her?
She turned around and glanced at the emperor, only to see him hugging Lin Wanyi from behind.
The emperor's body was very warm, she had known it from before.
Being wrapped up in his warmth, Lin Wanyi didn't notice the cold wind outside the window.
Suddenly, with a "swish", a stream of golden fireworks rushed up like a dragon, followed by a stream of cyan fireworks that bloomed like a lotus.
When two kinds of fireworks bloomed in the sky at the same time, Lin Wanyi was so surprised that she was speechless.
At this time, the emperor spoke lightly in her ear.
"I remember that you love Lian and like to wear green clothes, so I ordered people to prepare it earlier. The government is still unstable, and I can't always be your guarantor in the harem, so many friendships can't be helped.
