Chapter 246 Xiao Gao is lucky!
The emperor looked at Jinzhong with a different look in his eyes, with more praise.
The most important thing is that until now, he was really comfortable being served by Jinzhong, and he had almost no chance to think about Li Yu who was still trapped and suffering in the Ministry of Punishment.
But those things are not important to the emperor.
"I will come back to see Yonghui later, and I should go to pay my respects to the Empress Dowager first."
Jinzhong looked at the emperor walking out of the Yiku Palace in a hurry, as if he was running away, and shook his head silently.
I really can't understand why our emperor lives such a miserable life.
"Jinzhong, well done." After coming out, the emperor spoke some incoherent words.
Jinzhong smiled slightly, "What are you talking about, Your Majesty? It is my duty as a servant to share His Majesty's worries! You should go to Changchun Palace to see the Imperial Concubine as soon as possible. The Empress and the Imperial Concubine are both very happy."
Gao Xiyue's pregnancy was indeed a bit unexpected.
Although she wanted a little prince in her heart, she never actively looked forward to it. Moreover, after having Jingxue, she took things as they came and paid more attention to fate in many things.
As for the Emperor's favor...
From the very beginning, she didn't care much about it. After all, before she entered the palace, her father and mother told her that she should serve the emperor and the empress well after entering the palace. Only in this way could she have wealth and glory.
So she is different from Yihuan and the others. She came in with the mentality of a worker from the very beginning.
But later, because she was cute, she was favored by the Queen Mother and lived a smooth life in the palace.
But after all, she was in the palace, and having a son meant an extra support, so she couldn't be unhappy. Moreover, if she could give birth to her son safely this time, she could truly rest in peace.
Anyway, the Queen Mother took such good care of Yonglian. Yonglian loved his younger brothers, and Yongqi was smart, sensible and obedient. As for Hai Lan Mo Xin and Wei Yan Wan, each of them was better than the other at taking care of children.
Well...I can take good care of her too.
Those who don't expect to reap the fruits of others' labor are not good people. Some people... are born cute and lucky, and are liked by everyone. When Gao Xiyue thought of this, she leaned back on the couch with a clear conscience.
Rong Yin knew what she was thinking at a glance, and couldn't help but smile and shook her head, "You, how come you just reacted to such a big thing?"
"You know, madam, that although my health has improved a lot, my menstruation has always been irregular. Moreover, I have nothing to do these days, and you have exempted the sisters from paying respects, so I can't help but sleep in and eat a little too much."
Mo Xin sighed. In the harem, apart from the "plump" Concubine Xian, which concubine who wanted to be favored did not strictly control her body shape?
What's more, the queen herself didn't have much flesh to begin with, and had a slender and tall figure. Just to keep her body healthy, both the Gao family and the queen tried their best to nourish her body. Now that she had finally gained some flesh, it was time to be happy.
Moreover, the imperial physician had come to see the queen many times before and said that the queen had a cold constitution and it would be difficult for her to get pregnant. It was a blessing from God that she finally had a daughter. Who would take the initiative to think about having both a son and a daughter now?
"Okay, now the most important thing is for you to rest and take care of your baby. I will arrange for your mother to come to the palace to accompany you more in a few days. If Master Gao knew that you were pregnant again, I'm afraid he would be happy for you."
Rongyin comforts.
Jiang Yubin at the side hesitated for a moment, but finally stood up and said, "Empress, Imperial Concubine."
Rong Yin frowned and spoke with a bit of nervousness, "Doctor Jiang, what's wrong?"
Gao Xiyue also sat up immediately and stared at Jiang Yubin.
Jiang Yubi was a little nervous at this time. He had always been very cautious and would never speak unless he was sure of something. What's more, the Queen had done him and惢心 a favor.
There were some things he just wanted to confirm over and over again, even if he was already 90% sure, he didn't know whether he should speak up now.
"But my health is not good enough?" Gao Xiyue subconsciously covered her lower abdomen with her hand.
"No, your majesty, your body is already well, and there will be no problem with this pregnancy. What I want to say is that this time... I am 90% sure that it will be a little prince."
"Ah!" Gao Xiyue took a breath of cold air.
Although I had hoped so in my heart, it was still different after all when Jiang Yubin said it so directly!
Rong Yin also paused, "Doctor Jiang?"
"In reply to the Empress, I am almost certain that the Imperial Concubine is giving birth to a little prince." Jiang Yubin nodded heavily. The baby's month is almost ready for diagnosis, and 90% is actually no different from being certain.
At this time, the emperor just walked in and heard these words. He was overjoyed and said, "Great! Great!"
When Rongyin saw the emperor coming, she immediately stood up to salute, and Gao Xiyue followed suit.
The emperor quickly stopped her, "Queen, you are not feeling well, you don't need to bow. Imperial Concubine, please take a seat as well."
He walked up to Gao Xiyue with big strides and grabbed her hand, "My dear concubine, you have worked hard. You have brought me a big surprise!"
Gao Xiyue's happiness was slightly diluted after seeing the emperor's face, but her pretty face soon showed a standard smile of courting favor, "Is your Majesty happy? I am extremely happy."
"I'm happy! This is not only a good thing for me, but also for the Qing Dynasty. It has been a long time since a child was born in the palace."
The emperor did not notice that his coming here had affected Gao Xiyue's mood. Instead, he was sincerely happy for the child. Even the grievances he had just suffered in Yikun Palace were diluted a lot.
The smile on Rong Yin's face was gentle and decent, which was also the standard smile of the empress of the Qing Dynasty facing the emperor. "Your Majesty, the concubine's pregnancy is a happy event. Please don't forget to reward her."
The emperor nodded, "What the queen said is true. I was so happy that I almost forgot. The imperial concubine is pregnant, which is a great joy. Jinzhong, pass on my decree to reward the imperial concubine with a thousand taels of gold, a hundred strings of pearls, and fifty rolls of silk and satin newly tributed from Jiangnan to her palace. I will also send her the ginseng in my private storehouse so that she can take good care of herself. When the prince is born, I will give him a name and have high hopes for him."
Jinzhong responded and immediately went down to convey the order.
"Thank you very much, Your Majesty, for your grace." Gao Xiyue did not hesitate and accepted the request happily.
The emperor looked at Rong Yin.
"Since the emperor has already given the reward, it is not appropriate for me to just stand here and watch. Xiyue is pregnant now, and I am happy for her, Yanwan."
Rong Yin turned to look at Wei Yanwan, "Go and take out the jade bracelet from my dowry and give it to the imperial concubine. May she be safe and happy. Also, send the curtain made of deep-sea pearls to the imperial concubine's palace as an ornament."
Gao Xiyue has never been polite to her queen, "I would like to thank you first."
"There is no need for you to thank me. When you give birth to a royal heir, I will give him the Hetian jade Qilin statue that was passed down from the previous emperor. This Qilin statue can bring good luck and health. I hope that the royal heir will be blessed with great fortune and become a dragon or a phoenix in the future."
"Oh, Yan Wan, tell the Ministry of Internal Affairs to carefully select the finest golden nanmu wood to build a new baby bed and cradle for the imperial concubine. Make sure they are meticulously carved and covered with the finest brocade."
Wei Yanwan responded with a smile, "I obey your order."
"I would like to thank Your Majesty on behalf of my child. Your Majesty is so kind to me that I am a little jealous." Gao Xiyue spoke subconsciously and acted coquettishly.
The emperor couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw the happy relationship between the empress and the imperial concubine.
For some reason, he always felt that this was how a harem should be.
She seemed to be touched by such a scene, and seemed to feel that she had been focusing on Yikun Palace these days, which was not particularly fair to other concubines in the harem.
The emperor suddenly spoke, "Gao Bin is loyal and devoted, and his daughter has made such a great contribution. Gao Bin is promoted to the Grand Secretary of Wenhua Palace, and given the title of Prince Taifu. He is also awarded 500 taels of gold and a number of antiques, calligraphy and paintings."
"The talented sons of his family can enter the Hanlin Academy and be promoted according to their abilities. The family will be granted the title of baron, which will be inherited from generation to generation."
Not only Gao Xiyue but also Rong Yin was stunned for a moment when these words were spoken. This could be said to be a reward with very high gold content.
She glanced at Gao Xiyue.
Gao Xiyue immediately understood and stood up. Mo Xin helped her to bow down, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"
