It had been six or seven days since Yan He had moved back to De Qing Hall. Tianyao had never come to see her. Instead, a group of irrelevant concubines with low status came to see her every day. Yan He only said that she was not feeling well and refused. Shang Zhirong had also passed the days of being grounded and came to see her almost every day. On this day, Shang Zhirong brought Shang Rui, whom she had not seen for a long time, to Deqing Hall.
"This old minister pays his respects to Consort De niangniang.”Shang Rui bowed to Yan He, his face full of joy.
"Prime Minister Shang is too polite.”Yan He's face was filled with helplessness. Seeing that his grandfather, who was past his prime, still had to bow to him, he really did not know what to do.
"Father, we're all family, so there's no need to be so polite." Shang Zhirong hurriedly said.”
Shang Rui stood up. The three generations of his grandfather and grandson sat together. They were all people who could not be stopped in the Tian Cheng Dynasty.
"Ever since that incident last time, this old minister did not have the chance to enter the palace to see the two masters. Now that I see the two masters like this, this old minister is relieved.”Shang Rui said with a smile.
"It was all thanks to the blessings of the Shang family's ancestors that Yan He was able to escape this calamity and even benefited from it. Yan He will definitely be careful in the future and live up to the Shang family's nurturing of Yan He.”Yan He said.
Shang Rui smiled and said," The Empress is born with the fate of an Empress. A Phoenix will only become stronger after it has reached Nirvana. The Empress is now the Phoenix after Nirvana. In the future, it will not be the Shang Family protecting the Empress, but the Empress protecting the Shang Family."”
Yan He did not say anything and only smiled faintly.
Shang Zhirong was also delighted when she heard this." What Aunt couldn't do, Yan He is about to do it. Aunt is really happy for Yan He. As long as the little prince is born, the position of Empress will be yours."”
Yan He looked embarrassed." Maybe it's not a little prince but a little princess? Yan He didn't think too much about it. She just wanted to give birth to this child safely and watch him grow up little by little.”
"It will definitely be a little prince." Shang Rui had a confident look on his face. He looked at Yan He, who had a suspicious expression on her face, and continued,"This child will definitely be a boy, and it will definitely be the future emperor. My Shang Family is indebted to the heavens for being able to turn the tide even during such a dangerous time a few months ago. It must be the heavens that are helping me.”
Shang Zhirong nodded in agreement.
Yan He's expression changed slightly. When she found out that she was pregnant, she was so happy not because she could restore her status as Consort De, nor was it because she wanted to rely on the child to obtain the position of Empress. It was because she could finally have some kind of connection with Tianyao, have a common concern, and have proof of her humble love. But now that Shang Rui said it, she started to feel that she was still the spy who got close to Tianyao for the sake of the family's interests, and this child was the most ironic harm she had done to Tianyao as a spy. She touched her flat stomach and for the first time, she had conflicting thoughts about the arrival of the child in her stomach.
Hall of Eternal Prosperity.
"Elder Sister Qingzhu hasn't come to see me in the Warm Heart Palace these few days. I miss Elder Sister so much that I came to see her. Elder Sister doesn't look well, is she sick?”Yun Chu held Qing Zhu's hand with a worried expression.
"Yunchu, I'm fine. I'm just a little tired these past few days, so I didn't go to see you. Seeing that you look so good today, seeing that you can talk and laugh, I'm relieved.”As he spoke, he stroked Yun Chu's hair.
"Consort Shu, Master, don't listen to our Master. Master is stubborn. Master has been unwell for half a month. This servant advised Master to call for a doctor, but Master refused. He said that he was from some Wu family and didn't need to see a doctor for such a small illness. You see Master is already like this, can it be done without calling for a doctor?”The maidservant Jing 'er didn't care about seniority anymore and came forward to speak to Yun Chu.
"You little girl, it's all bengong's fault for treating you too well and not having any manners at all.”She rolled her eyes at Jing 'er.
Jing 'er knew that Qing Zhu was not using zhenqi. She stuck out her tongue and looked innocent.
"Jing 'er is just concerned about elder sister. Jing' er is right, elder sister has been unwell for so long, it's time to invite a doctor to take a look. Even if there's nothing wrong, it's still reassuring.”Yun Chu said seriously.
"Younger Sister, don't listen to Jing 'er, this girl's words. It's not like you don't know Elder Sister. Elder Sister's body has been healthy since she was young, how could she have any illness?”Qing Zhu said helplessly, but her heart was still warm.
"That's why I'm worried.”Yun Chu turned to Xiaojin." Xiaojin, go to the Imperial Academy of Medicine and get a doctor to come over. Let Sister take a look so that I can feel more at ease."”Yun Chu instructed.
"Xiao Jin will go now." As he said that, his face was filled with joy as he hurriedly left the Eternal Prosperity Hall.
Qing Zhu did not stop her, thinking,'If I don't invite a doctor to take a look today, Yunchu won't let it go. I'd better go with her wishes, as long as she's happy.' In fact, Yun Chu was no different from her biological sister. As an elder sister, she had to put her younger sister first.
Not long after, Xiao Jin brought the imperial physician over.
"This servant pays his respects to the two masters.”The imperial physician respectfully knelt down to greet Qing Zhu and Yun Chu.
"You're the imperial physician from the Jingxin Palace Hall.”Yun Chu said to the imperial physician. "What's your name?"
"Reporting to master, I am An Qingwei, the new imperial physician of the Imperial Academy of Medicine.”
"An Qingwei, you're a good person. If it wasn't for you, Consort De jiejie wouldn't have been saved.”Yun Chu looked at An Qingwei with approval.
"Your Ladyship praises you too much. If it wasn't for your good intentions, An Qingwei wouldn't have had the chance to treat Consort De.”An Qingwei said respectfully.
"Let's not talk about this matter. Imperial Physician An, let's check Consort Xian's pulse first.”Yun Chu said.
"Yes, Your Majesty." An Qingwei came to Qingzhu's side and checked her pulse. An Qingwei was expressionless when he took her pulse. He was feeling her pulse with a serious expression.
"How is it? What happened to Sister Xian Fei?”Yun Chu lowered her voice, afraid that she would disturb An Qingwei's pulse.
An Qingwei found it funny, but he did not laugh. He turned around and said respectfully,""Consort Xian is overjoyed.”
"Did the imperial physician diagnose it?" Qing Zhu asked in disbelief. Did you make a mistake?"
"This official is certain that Consort Xian is indeed pregnant. It had been more than a month. This official will prescribe a few tonics to stabilize the fetus for the Empress. As long as the Empress takes them on time, she will not be as tired as she is now. A woman's pregnancy is an extremely difficult thing. The Empress must remember not to overwork herself. She must rest well and recuperate in peace.”An Qingwei said respectfully.
Qing Zhu's worry turned into joy. For a moment, she was so happy that she did not know what to say.
"Sister Qingzhu is going to be a mother. That's great, that's great. Let me see." Yun Chu's face was full of excitement. She went to Qing Zhu's side, knelt on the ground, and put her ear on Qing Zhu's abdomen. He listened attentively.
An Qingwei found it funny and thought," This was the first time he had seen such a master. It was really rare to see another master being so happy from the bottom of her heart when she was pregnant.
Yan Mei walked forward and pulled up Yun Chu, who was kneeling on the ground, with a reproachful expression."Master, it's not that fast yet. No matter what, it will take five months before you can hear the child's voice. The ground is cold and your body is weak.”
"Oh." Yun Chu stood up obediently. In fact, Yun Chu listened to Yan Mei most of the time. After all, in Yun Chu's fifteen years of life, she had lived with Yan Mei for almost five years. In this world, the closest person to her was Yan Mei, other than Qing Zhu and Xiao Jin.
"Then I'll go tell His Majesty to come and see Sister Qingzhu. I really envy His Majesty. Sister Consort De wants to give birth to his child, and now Sister Qingzhu wants to give birth to his child. He's really very happy.”Yun Chu said.
An Qingwei looked at Yun Chu from the side. He really couldn't figure out what kind of woman Consort Shu was.
"Sister Qingzhu, I'll leave first. Wait here. I'll call His Majesty over. Xiao Jin, go and send Imperial Physician An off. He must be tired from running around every time. Yanmei, let's go to the Political Announcement Hall now.”After saying that, he brought Yan Mei out of the Eternal Prosperity Hall without waiting for An Qingwei to thank him.
An Qingwei looked at Yun Chu's back and shook his head helplessly. He turned to Qingzhu, who was immersed in happiness." If Your Majesty has no other instructions, I will take my leave." Later, I will send someone to send the medicine over. Your Majesty only needs to take it on time every day.”
"Thank you Imperial Physician An." Qing Zhu said gratefully.
An Qingwei didn't say anything else. He bowed to Qingzhu and left the Everlasting Hall. Xiao Jin, who was at the side, also followed him out.
"Miss Xiaojin, you don't have to send me off. Qingwei can go back by herself.”An Qingwei said gently to Xiao Jin.
"Little Jin is following Shu Fei niangniang's orders not to neglect Imperial Physician An.”Xiao Jin lowered her head and said with a red face.
" Alright, I won't make things difficult for you. However, I saw a scar on your face…"
Before Qing Wei could finish, Xiao Jin covered the scar on her left cheek with a sad expression." This scar was scratched by the Tubo barbarians in the desert. If General Chen hadn't blocked the knife for me, I'm afraid I would have died long ago." It was a pity that good people did not live long, and Miss Yunchu was the only one left in the Chen family.”Her eyes turned red as she spoke.
"Miss Xiaojin, Qingwei doesn't want you to remember the sadness of the past. I just want to tell you that Qingwei has a family secret recipe to treat this kind of scar. I hope it can help you. If a scar affects Miss Xiaojin's beautiful appearance, wouldn't it be a pity?”An Qingwei looked serious.
Xiao Jin broke into a smile through her tears and looked shy." Do you really think I'm good-looking?”
"Young Lady has a beautiful face. If you don't have this scar, you will definitely be beautiful beyond compare.”An Qingwei said.
"Imperial Physician An must be laughing at me. No matter how beautiful she is, she is not as beautiful as our Master. Master is still young now. Perhaps in another two years, Master will definitely be a world-toppling person.”Xiao Jin said proudly.
"Miss Xiao Jin, why do you have to belittle yourself? Everyone has their own beauty. Miss Xiao Jin, follow Qing Wei. I'll go get the medicine and give it to you.”An Qingwei said with a smile.
Xiao Jin's face turned even redder, and she only said,"Then Xiao Jin will thank Imperial Physician An first."”
