After the two thanked him and served tea, the emperor looked at Bai Banxia meaningfully and said, "I hope you can give birth to heirs for Prince Ping as soon as possible."
Do the elders like to induce birth? Is it over yet?
"Yes." Bai Banxia lowered her head and said.
"You are a doctor, have you examined your body?" the emperor asked again.
"My daughter-in-law is in good health, father, please rest assured." Bai Banxia replied.
The emperor asked reluctantly: "I'm asking about Zhen'er's health. He was seriously injured before. Will it affect the heirs?"
Bai Banxia almost couldn't hold back her laughter. She quickly glanced at Qi Zhen and saw that Qi Zhen had a dark face and didn't speak, but he was obviously very unhappy.
She didn't know if the emperor really cared about his son's health, or if he was resentful of Qi Zhen's previous statement that he was inhumane.
"It's nothing serious. Even if there is a problem, my daughter-in-law will try her best to treat it," she replied.
"If you still can't have an heir after one year, then I can only arrange a concubine for Zhen'er." The emperor suddenly said.
"Father!" Qi Zhen's tone gradually became displeased, "You'd better not interfere in the affairs of my house!"
Tough, too tough!
Bai Banxia applauded in her heart. Who cares about this old emperor? If you have time, why don't you worry about your own plan to create a human being? You also worry about your son's palace. Your son is younger and stronger than you. He won't be born a few years later.
, you should worry more about yourself.
"Hmph, I'll leave it at that, so that you don't take it seriously." The emperor was probably afraid that Qi Zhen would say something else that would not give him face, so he waved his hand directly, "Go down, I have other important matters to deal with."
After the two of them left the palace, Bai Banxia said to Qi Zhen: "Your father has not had a concubine for a long time, and there are not many concubines in the harem now. Let the prime minister make arrangements."
"We are making arrangements. He didn't faint just a while ago. We were afraid that his body wouldn't be able to bear it, so we didn't send him in for the time being," Qi Zhen said.
"After a while of conditioning, there's no big problem, as long as you don't overindulge," Bai Banxia said carelessly.
Qi Zhen's mouth twitched, "You can't say this word so casually in the future, unless it's to me."
Bai Banxia couldn't help laughing, "What do I mean by telling you? Do you mean that you are overindulging?"
"Whether it's too much, you'll know later tonight." Qi Zhen laughed evilly.
"..."
Soon it was time to return home three days later. Bai Banxia got up early and took Qi Zhen with her to walk back to her parents' home.
Most people would take a carriage back home, but she walked right back without even walking a few steps.
The family got up early and waited for her. The eldest cousin made a lot of snacks for her to taste, and the second cousin also made some balm for her.
Everyone gathered around Bai Banxia and asked questions. After a while, my aunt pulled Bai Banxia to question her privately.
"I'm afraid your mother wouldn't think of asking you this. Tell your aunt honestly, how are you getting along with the prince?" she asked in a low voice.
"We didn't just meet each other, so why don't we get along well?" Bai Banxia replied with a smile.
The aunt lightly hit her and said, "That's not what I'm asking about, it's about what happened in your room..."
Bai Banxia's jaw didn't drop in shock. She thought the ancients were very conservative, but she never expected that her aunt would come to ask about her sexual intercourse.
"It's okay." How did she answer this?
"Everyone in Beijing is saying that Qi Zhen's injury was too serious and it affected his roots. Is it nothing? Your grandma is worried and asked me to ask you quietly." My aunt asked worriedly.
The corner of Bai Banxia's mouth twitched. This matter spread even to her grandma's family.
"No, it was because he wanted to reject the marriage proposals that came to his door that he spread the rumors." Bai Banxia explained.
The aunt breathed a huge sigh of relief, "That's good. I'll tell your grandma later that she still hopes to have a great-grandson!"
Okay, here we go again.
Soon, my aunt quietly told her grandma and grandpa what she had asked. The smiles on their faces grew wider and they looked particularly happy. She also asked them when they wanted to have a baby.
"Children are fate, don't put pressure on Banxia, take your time." Bai Tian still felt sorry for his daughter and hurriedly helped to rescue her.
Bai Banxia felt grateful because her father understood her best.
Time slowly arrived in early summer, and Mr. Nan’s family also came to Beijing.
Bai Banxia took the first look at Mrs. Nan's belly. It was flat. It seemed that she didn't want the child.
She thought that Mrs. Nan would be reluctant to leave her, so she would not mention it, but Mrs. Nan took the initiative to mention it.
"We checked with the old doctors and they all said that my body was too weak and the baby in my belly was not healthy. It was better not to let him suffer." Mrs. Nan sighed, "I hope he can be reborn in a good family."
Bai Banxia shook her hand and persuaded: "When you get better, you will have children. Maybe you are still destined."
It was also because Mrs. Nan was in confinement that they arrived in Beijing a little late.
Mr. Nan's hand has also improved a lot. He is already doing some rehabilitation training as Bai Banxia told him. He can now hold a pen, but not for too long as it will cause pain.
I think there are still a few months until autumn, and he should be able to fully recover without affecting his participation in the autumn period.
When Mr. Nan saw Bai Shengming, he also inquired a lot and asked him a few questions to make sure that he had not delayed his studies before he felt relieved.
"You come to the Qiuwei Festival with me." Mr. Nan suddenly said.
Bai Shengming was surprised, "No, no, the students are too far behind."
"It doesn't matter if the difference is far away. You can feel it in advance, prepare for three years later, and just have a correct mentality." Mr. Nan said.
Bai Shengming agreed after hearing this.
The next day, Bai Banxia still brought Yuan Jinyao into the palace to give the emperor acupuncture. During these days, Yuan Jinyao could treat the emperor on his own, but he was still unable to diagnose the pulse and prescribe medicine by himself. He was the most proficient in this set of acupuncture.
After the injection was completed, the emperor suddenly said: "Enke was added this year. I heard that one of your cousins passed the exam?"
Bai Banxia nodded, "I just passed the examination to be a scholar, and I am still studying hard now."
"I feel that Enkojia's proposal this time is inappropriate and I have canceled the plan. What do you think?" the emperor asked.
It's not her turn to ask about her daughter-in-law when it comes to important political matters, right?
"The purpose of adding Enko is to recruit talents. It's normal that His Majesty doesn't like it." Bai Banxia replied bluntly.
"I think you don't want to cancel because you are afraid that your cousin will lose the scholar who finally passed the exam. I heard that he was able to pass the exam with a lot of luck." The emperor added.
Bai Banxia smiled, "Luck is also a part of strength. If Your Majesty wants to cancel it, no one can stop it. It's just a group of talented people."
"According to the original time, we have to wait for more than a year for the scientific examination." The emperor added.
"Then just wait. If you have more time to study, my cousin might have a chance to pass the examination directly." Bai Banxia laughed.
"You are quite open-minded." The emperor asked without saying anything. He didn't know what he meant by asking this question.
