Gu Shanchang entered the Jiaofang Hall the next day.
Empress Yu smiled and joked: "I usually ask you to enter the palace, but you always refuse to come despite repeated objections. Could it be that the sun is rising in the west today? Why is it here so early in the morning?"
Gu Shanchang raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "I'm here to see you, I have important matters to discuss."
Important matter?
Queen Yu's eyes flashed slightly and she smiled meaningfully: "Is it because Ming Xi is pregnant?"
Gu Shanchang: "..."
How many palace insiders are there in the Seventh Prince's Mansion?
Gu Shanchang was not bold enough to say these words, but his expression was subtle enough: "I didn't expect that the queen already knows about this."
Empress Yu smiled casually and said: "She was fine before, but suddenly she became ill for a few days. What else could it be if she wasn't pregnant? Chang Qing and the others also guessed it."
It's a happy event anyway, so there's no harm in guessing it.
Gu Shanchang simply did not think about these things and opened his mouth and said: "Ming Xi is pregnant and the days are still short. I want to wait until three months after the pregnancy is completed before entering the palace to announce the good news. I entered the palace today because I want to beg the empress to spare Ming Xi."
It’s a matter of entering the palace to ask for your blessing. Once the pregnancy is settled, you can enter the palace every day.”
When you enter the palace to pay your respects, you have to get up early to change clothes and make up. Not to mention a lot of trouble, when you enter the Jiaofang Palace, you also have to argue with all the sisters-in-law, which consumes your mind and is really not suitable for pregnancy.
Queen Yu responded with a smile: "That's fine, just let her raise her baby in peace in the palace. In my Jiaofang Palace, people come and go every day, and there is no shortage of people to say hello."
This is why Gu Shanchang opened his mouth, and Empress Yu deserves to be so straightforward. Try it with someone else?
Gu Shan breathed a sigh of relief and immediately smiled and said: "Thank you, Madam. I have to go back home to be with Mingxi, so I won't talk to Madam much today."
Queen Yu: "..."
It’s too obvious to burn bridges by crossing rivers!
Queen Yu felt a little sour in her heart: "You have a disciple, but you have forgotten your best friend!"
Gu Shanchang smiled and said: "My Majesty also said that there are people coming and going in Jiaofang Palace, and there are many people talking to your Majesty. I am the only one around Mingxi, and I really feel uneasy if I don't go back. Please forgive me."
What else can I do if I don’t forgive you?
Is it possible that you are angry with your friends over these trivial things?
Queen Yu smiled helplessly and said no more.
…
After Chief Gu Shan resigned, the princes and concubines who had been waiting in the side hall for a long time entered the Jiaofang Hall to pay their respects.
Among the several daughters-in-law, Zhao Changqing is the eldest and is a disciple of Queen Yu, so she is particularly close. He smiled tentatively and said, "Could it be that Chief Gu Shan came into the palace in a hurry early in the morning because of his seventh younger sister?"
Xiao Yuhan, Li Xiang and Yin Xiaoxiao looked over together.
Empress Yu smiled faintly: "You are all sisters-in-law, it's okay to know. Mrs. Xie is pregnant, but the time is still short and it is not appropriate to make it public. From today on, I will not let her go to the palace to pay respects, and let her stay in the palace.
Raise your baby with peace of mind.”
It is indeed a joy!
When all the princes and concubines heard about this, they had mixed feelings in their hearts.
Li Xiangru was both jealous and resentful, and his eyes slightly lowered, falling on his unsatisfactory belly.
Zhao Changqing has the most promising belly and has already given birth to a son and a daughter. Xiao Yuhan has already given birth to a daughter, and Yin Xiaoxiao will give birth in a few months. Xie Mingxi, who was the last to come in, had the good news three months later...
Why is there no movement in her belly?
The number of times that the fourth prince had sex with her was indeed very rare. However, there were only one or two times every month... The fourth prince naturally hoped that her, his head wife, would be happy as soon as possible. But she never got pregnant.
Xiao Yuhan and Yin Xiaoxiao were both very happy for Xie Mingxi. However, they were also a little envious in their hearts.
They were in the early stages of pregnancy that day and did not dare to publicize it. They went to the palace every day to ask for blessings. When it was Xie Mingxi's turn, her husband shamelessly came to complain about illness, and the master went to the palace to intercede in person. In the next more than a month, they were spared this torment and fatigue...
…
There is really no comparison between people!
That night, Queen Yu told Emperor Jianwen about Xie Mingxi's happiness.
Emperor Jianwen had been quite angry recently about the appointment of a crown prince and was in a bad mood. He nodded casually when he heard this.
Empress Yu knew that she was sure of victory, and it was only a matter of time before Emperor Jianwen decreed the appointment of the third prince as his heir, so she would not test or urge him. After chatting with Emperor Jianwen for a while, she summoned Lianxiang to wait for Emperor Jianwen to take a bath and rest.
.
…
Because Xie Mingxi was pregnant, Li Xiangru was depressed for several days.
After returning from the palace that day, a palace maid came to report: "Thank you for asking me to see my maid Rouge."
The girl Xie mentioned by the palace maid is Xie Yunxi who entered the fourth prince's palace as a concubine.
The fourth prince was very indifferent to women. Apart from resting in Li Xiangru's main courtyard for one or two nights a month, he rarely set foot in the inner house.
The two beauties gifted by Concubine Li had long been neglected. The number of times Xie Yunxi slept with her was pitiful. No matter how jealous Li Xiangru was, he could not feel any jealousy towards Xie Yunxi.
"Let her in!"
After a while, Yanzhi came in, bowed her head and said respectfully: "To the Fourth Princess, Miss Xie has been nauseous and vomiting these days, and the sunflower water is more than ten days late. The servant boldly came forward to report, and begged the Fourth Princess to let the imperial doctor give it to the girl.
Take a look."
Li Xiangru was stunned for a moment before he reacted.
Xie Yunxi is also happy?
Her first reaction was not acidity or jealousy, but joy.
That day, Xie Yunxi entered the Fourth Prince's Mansion, firstly to spite Xie Mingxi, and secondly, for the sake of his heirs. For more than a year, Xie Yunxi didn't even make a sound, and Li Xiangru regretted taking such a bad move.
Unexpectedly, this bad move turned into a wonderful move today.
Xie Yunxi is pregnant, and the fourth prince has an heir. This is also good news for her, the fourth prince's concubine.
Li Xiangru's depressed mood cheered up, with a cheerful smile on his face: "Come here, go to Xuan Imperial Physician."
Xie Yunxi's nausea and discomfort lasted for half a month. Counting the days, she happened to be happy when she went to bed for the last time. She was able to endure it. When she noticed something strange in her body, she waited for more than half a month.
Then he said nothing.
When the imperial physician checked the pulse, it turned out to be a happy pulse.
A huge stone fell to the ground in Xie Yunxi's heart. Although she tried her best to hold it back, she could not hide the joy in her eyes.
Li Xiangru was even more happy. She held Xie Yunxi's hand and shouted affectionately: "My sister is happy, and I am also happy in my heart. If His Highness knew about it, he would be extremely happy."
Xie Yunxi held back her joy and responded softly: "I only hope to have a son in one fell swoop and pass on the heirs to His Highness."
Li Xiangru looked at Xie Yunxi's flat belly, her eyes full of joy: "If you can have a son at one stroke, you will be a great contributor to the fourth prince's house. Don't worry, sister, I will tell your highness the good news when he comes back. Again.
Please give me your honor, Your Highness."
If you are pregnant, it is natural for you to be raised as a concubine.
Xie Yunxi suppressed the excitement and ecstasy in her heart and thanked her softly.
