There were successive reports of victory from the front lines, and Su Ying didn’t ask any further questions after seeing that there weren’t any problems. Primarily, it was also because she had been very tired recently for some reason. She couldn’t get enough sleep somehow and the food that she usually craved did not taste good anymore.
Zhou Qing carried the food container into the hall. Su Ying felt a wave of nausea when she smelled the meat buns.
“Ugh!”
Zhou Qing got a shock. She quickly put down the food container and rushed forward with the spittoon.
“Your Imperial Highness, are you alright?”
Su Ymg vomited two mouthfuls of sour-tasting water before her stomach felt a little better.
I m fine. Maybe I’ve been suffering from gastroenteritis these past few days. My stomach isn’t feeling good.”
su Ying was very puzzled. Why was there a problem with her stomach which was as strong as iron?
Zhou Qing was still quite worried. “Why don’t I ask the Imperial Physician from the Imperial Academy of Medicine to come over and take a look at you?” Su Ying yawned drowsily, but when she saw Zhou Qing’s worried expression, she didn’t refuse.
At noon, she also did not have much of an appetite and simply ate a bowl of bird’s nest porridge before lying down.
While she was still in a sleepy stupor, Su Ying heard Zhou Qing’s low voice from outside. It sounded like she was talking to someone from the Imperial Academy of Medicine.
Su Ying propped herself up. While still drowsy, she opened her eyes and called out, “Zhou Qing.”
Zhou Qing, who was standing outside, pushed open the door and walked in. “Your Imperial Highness, you are awake. The Imperial Physician from the Imperial Academy of Medicine has arrived.”
Su Ying leaned languidly against the soft pillow. “Send him in.” Zhou Qing went forward to let down the bed curtain after receiving the instruction. She then told the palace maid to lead the Imperial Physician in. After paying his respects, the Imperial Physician stepped forward to check Su Ying’s pulse.
Even though she had just woken up, Su Ying still felt extremely sleepy as if she didn’t get enough sleep.
The Imperial Physician carefully listened to her pulse and asked Su Ying a few questions. Finally, the Imperial Physician stood up and said very respectfully, “Congratulations, Your Imperial Highness, congratulations. You are pregnant.” Su Ying froze mid-yawn.
Zhou Qing was the first to react, and her face was filled with joy. “Imperial Physician, have you diagnosed carefully?”
The Imperial Physician replied with a solemn expression. “It is indeed pregnancy, no doubt about it.”
“This is really great. Congratulations, Your Imperial Highness!”
Su Ying snapped out of her daze. She recalled that she had indeed forgotten to take precautions on the night she returned from the northern wilderness…
Was Xiao Jin that formidable? He hit the target in one strike!
Compared to the joy of the people in the inner hall, Su Ying was exceptionally calm, or perhaps a little at a loss. After all, though she had not experienced childbirth, she had been a mother for so long that she was very calm about the new life in her belly.
However, how could Xiao Jin remain calm after receiving the news? A moment ago, he was still fully focused on reading memorials and working hard for the kingdom. In the next moment, he was rushing to the Conjugal Phoenix Palace like a hothead.
“Greetings, Your Majesty…”
Before the eunuchs could finish their greetings, they only caught a glimpse of the corner of his robe. By the time they raised their heads, the Emperor was nowhere to be seen.
“Her Imperial Highness is healthy and the fetus is growing well. It’s just that the fetus is not yet three months old, so it is at an unstable stage. During this period, it’s better to be careful. I will prescribe a medicinal recipe for Her Imperial Highness to nourish the body and strengthen the fetus. Her Imperial Highness can eat it once every other day.”
“Then I’ll have to trouble you, Imperial Physician.” Zhou Qing joyfully followed the Imperial Physician out of the inner hall.
Just as she walked out, she saw a person rushing toward her like a whirlwind. Before she could say anything, that person had already barged into the inner hall.
Su Ying yawned repeatedly and was about to continue sleeping when she was pulled into a familiar embrace all of a sudden.
She got a shock. Had her reaction become slower when she was pregnant? If this was any other time, she would have already punched out.
“It’s not even dark yet. Why is Your Majesty back?”
As Xiao Jin hugged Su Ying, his eyes were alarmingly bright. “Pregnant?” Su Ying gave him the side-eye and pushed his arms away. “Mmm. Let go now. I want to sleep for a while more.”
Xiao Jin simply lifted her onto his lap and let her lean her whole back against him. “You have to take care.”
Su Ymg was amused by his cautious manner. “You don’t have to be anxious.”
However, Xiao Jin disagreed. “You’ve overworked yourself and your body isn’t in good condition. During this period, you should rest well in the Conjugal Phoenix Palace. Don’t do anything else.”
Su Ying wondered which eye of his told him her body was not in good condition.
“I don’t have much energy right now. I just want to sleep more.”
“Then sleep. I’ll accompany you.”
“Don’t you have to deal with state affairs?”
“It’s not too late for me to deal with them after you fall asleep.”
Su Ying couldn’t be bothered to argue with him, so she simply leaned into his arms and got into a comfortable position before closing her eyes.
To her surprise, she really fell asleep.
When she woke up again, the sky outside had already darkened.
A dim yellow light was shining from behind the screen in the inner hall, and a figure could be vaguely seen behind the screen.
Su Ying made a slight movement, and the figure behind the screen moved.
In the blink of an eye, that figure arrived in front of her.
“Why didn’t you go to the Imperial study?”
”1 got them to bring the memorials here. Did I wake you?”
Su Ying shook her head and sat up.
Xiao Jin reached out to support her. When she was about to put on her shoes, he even bent down and brought her shoes to her and helped her put them on’.
Su Ying pinched the spot between her eyebrows as she felt a headache coming on. “Xiao Jin, you’re making me think that I have become paralyzed.”
“Nonsense.” After Xiao Jin helped her put on her shoes, he brought her dress and helped her dress up.
“You haven’t had much appetite these days. I told Hea Shouyi to make you some light appetizers. You should eat more later.”
Just as Su Ying was about to get up, Xiao Jin lifted her up, carried her to a chair, and sat her down.
Fine. Since someone was willing to carry her, it would save her the trouble of moving herself.
Su Ymg had just sat down when she saw two round little heads sticking into the hall from outside. When they saw Su Ying looking in their direction, the little heads ducked back as if frightened.
Su Ying told them to come in. “What are you doing outside? Come in quickly. It’s time to eat soon.”
After waiting for a while, the two little ones walked into the inner hall hesitantly.
“Greetings, Emperor Father, Empress Mother.”
The two little fellows bowed respectfully.
Su Ying raised her eyebrows. It was not quite normal for these two to be such well-behaved children.
After the two children sat down obediently, the palace maids served dinner.
Su Ying didn’t smell any dishes with particularly strong aromas, so she figured that the dishes that had been prepared today were mostly lightly-flavored cold dishes.
When the dishes were placed on the table, there were three salads and one vegetable soup. There was also meat, but it had also been made into a cold dish. It certainly looked a lot more refreshing. In addition, Hea Shouyi also prepared boiled chicken for the two children. The nutritional aspects were well taken care of.
Xiao Jin scooped a bowl of red date porridge for Su Ying. The Imperial Physician said that she had to pay attention to replenishing her blood vitality. This way, both mother and fetus would be healthier.
“See if it is to your taste. If it’s not, I’ll get Hea Shouyi to cook something else.” Su Ying shook her head as she stirred the porridge. “It looks pretty good.” She ate a bowl of porridge and some side dishes. Although her stomach still felt uncomfortable, at least she had a proper meal.
After she was done eating, Su Ying put down her bowl and chopsticks.
When they saw that, two little fellows also quickly put down their bowls and chopsticks.
Su Ying frowned slightly. “Are you two full?”
The two kids nodded.
However, Su Ying knew that they hadn’t really eaten anything..
