The emperor is reborn, the cute queen is upgraded

Chapter 71 The Emperor's Speech 2
Three imperial physicians were invited in, and took Si Luoyun's pulse one by one, all with joyful expressions on their faces.

Si Luoyun and Liao Muer looked at the tense Chunxiao and their imperial physician with upturned lips in puzzlement.

"Chunxiao, what's going on? You want three imperial physicians to ask for my pulse?" Si Luoyun was at a loss. Could it be that she was suffering from some kind of illness but she didn't know it?

"Weichen and others congratulate the Empress." The three imperial physicians saluted at the same time to congratulate the Empress Si. Imperial Physician Gong acted as a representative and said, "The three Weichen helped the empress's pulse and found that the empress's pulse is slippery! The empress must be pregnant. It's been about a month!"

"..." After Doctor Gong finished speaking, the hall immediately fell into a frightening silence!

About a month pregnant?She is pregnant?Si Luoyun looked at the three imperial physicians blankly, as if Imperial Physician Gong spoke a foreign language!

"Congratulations to the Empress! Congratulations to the Empress!" Chunxiao suddenly wept with joy, knelt down and said loudly.

As a maid serving her personally, Chun Xiao was very excited when she found out that her master's menstruation was a few days late!

The little maids in the hall also knelt down, and shouted childishly and completely unevenly: "Congratulations to the empress, congratulations to the empress!"

It wasn't until the end of the last little maid's voice that Si Luoyun returned to reality!She stretched out her hand and pressed it on her stomach, still in disbelief.

"The three imperial physicians are sure that I...are pregnant?" Si Luoyun asked with a shiver in her throat.

Hearing the news that she was pregnant, Si Luoyun was not only not surprised, but rather panicked!
Dugu Ye has been married for nearly nine years, and only Zhen Ji gave birth to a princess for him!What the subjects look forward to most is the birth of the emperor's son!But this invisibly put a lot of pressure on Si Luoyun's heart!
"Reporting to the empress, the three ministers asked for the pulse of the empress and they all diagnosed it as a happy pulse, so it must be unmistakable." Imperial Physician Gong smiled and said, "And the empress is more than one month pregnant, so it shouldn't be a misdiagnosis."

In other words, it is true that Queen Si is pregnant!
The news of Empress Si's pregnancy quickly spread throughout Dayan Harem, and the emperor dropped all the memorials and rushed to Feng Palace without even taking a dragon chariot!He thought it was too slow!

When Duguye rushed into the bedroom, Si Luoyun was sitting on the couch in the open room in a daze... She still felt unreal as if she had fallen into a dream!
"Yun'er?" Dugu Ye called happily.

"Emperor... Your Majesty?" Seeing Duguye appearing in front of her eyes, Si Luoyun hurriedly got up to salute.

"Don't move!" Dugu Ye stepped forward to support Si Luoyun, and then carefully helped her sit back on the couch, "There is no need to salute, and it will not be necessary in the future."

This child came more than a year earlier than the previous life!Dugu Ye was both excited and scared!
Excited was that he finally had a child from his and Queen Si's life. What was terrified was that this child would come early, and there would be no change!
In the last life, their first child was not kept, all because of his fault!In this life, he will never make the same mistake again!
"Your Majesty, this concubine may be pregnant with a princess...maybe." Si Luoyun grabbed Dugu Ye's sleeve and said pitifully.

She has to make the emperor's expectations less!Everyone hopes to be a prince, in case a princess is born...

Duguye grabbed Si Luoyun's hand, squeezed it lightly twice, and said softly, "Whether it's a princess or a prince, I like them both."

This is the truth, he and she will have a son, so it doesn't matter whether the first child is a boy or a girl!The important thing is that he will protect her and the children well in the future, and Dayan's world will also be passed on to their sons!
After hearing Dugu Ye's words, Si Luoyun asked with some disbelief: "Really?"

Ever since the imperial physician said that she was pregnant, Si Luoyun had been worrying about gains and losses for less than half an hour!Now that Dugu Ye said that, he feels a little better.

"Of course it's true!" Dugu Ye nodded earnestly, "Isn't there a saying that blooms first and then bears fruit? The daughter of Yun'er and I is the eldest princess, and the younger brothers and sisters behind must obey her! There is an elder sister If it is suppressed, younger brothers and sisters will not dare to mess around."

Some eldest princesses in the past dynasties are indeed mighty existences!Many younger brothers of the emperor have to be a little afraid!
Si Luoyun let out a long breath, and the tightness in her chest disappeared.

Just as Dugu Ye spoke a few words of comfort, someone from the palace reported outside: The Empress Dowager sent Huang Momo to congratulate her, as well as Madam Si, Madam Liao and other harem concubines who came to congratulate her.

Originally, he wanted to send He Baoquan and Zhang Caisheng to send these people away, but Duguye had a thought. Except for Huang Momo, who was invited to the Queen's bedroom, the other concubines were sent to the Hall of Yi to wait!

Grandma Huang was invited in, first saluted and congratulated the emperor and empress, and then conveyed the "joy" of Empress Dowager Xu.

"The Empress Dowager is very happy to hear that the Empress Dowager is pregnant." Huang Momo said with a smile, "I ordered my servants to send over a pair of Yu Ruyi carved from the finest white jade in southern Myanmar, and told the Empress Dowager to take care of the baby. The affairs of palace and concubine system should be left to Mrs. Liao and Lady Liao. If the two of them don't understand something, the old lady is willing to make up her mind."

On the surface, Duguye expressed "thanks to the Queen Mother" for the Queen Mother Xu's intentions, but he hummed coldly in his heart!

Empress Si is pregnant, Empress Dowager Xu must be anxious and angry!Where can I be "happy"!The rush to formulate the new palace system and concubine is nothing but for Xu Meiren's future!

After Huang Momo left, Duguye and Si Luoyun went to the Palace of Rites to meet several concubines.

Mrs. Si couldn't even cover her jealousy with a smile!She could only sit on the chair with a stiff face, twisting the handkerchief tightly!

When Duguye and Si Luoyun appeared, all the concubines stood up and greeted them with salutes.

The emperor and empress sat down, while the concubines stood in the hall.

Dugu Ye's eyes swept over the concubines one by one, and then said in a deep voice: "The queen is pregnant, and the palace affairs are still temporarily represented by Mrs. Liao and Lady Liao. If there is any injustice between them If you don't want to, you let your palace servants come and report to me, don't bother the queen!"

"Yes." The concubines responded.

"Before, the empress was considerate of your painstaking efforts to greet you every day, so she ordered you to come to Feng Palace to greet you on the first and fifteenth day of the lunar new year." Dugu Ye said again, "Although the empress is pregnant, it is not appropriate to be disturbed, but don't slack off in your greetings! One month It’s only two times to greet you, if you find any excuse not to come, you will be disrespectful to the queen! If you are sick and should not come to greet you, you will send the maid who serves you to stand outside the Hall of Ceremonies until the other concubines finish greeting you! I'm afraid you're too lazy, so you'll have to go to Mrs. Liao's Jinglan Palace every three days to pay your respects! If you can't make it, you'll also have to let your grand maid go there! If it's on the same day as the queen's greeting, you'll all be there. Please go to Feng Palace first, and then move to Jinglan Palace!"

The emperor suddenly intervened in the affairs of the harem, and the empress commander and all the concubines were shocked!Moreover, the arrangement is so rigorous, which shows that it is valued!
Originally, these edicts could have been conveyed to the palaces by the servants in the palace, but the emperor had to announce them in front of everyone, which was like a wake-up call to all concubines: those who do not obey will be severely punished!

"Yes!" The concubines responded again, with a more respectful attitude.

Si Luoyun looked at Duguye's stern profile, and a warm current surged in her heart.

This man's behavior at this time is to think about her and keep his eyes open.

"The empress dowager mentioned that the late emperor wanted to change the palace system and concubine system, and appointed the empress to complete the matter. I feel that this discussion is very good! When the new palace system and concubine system are officially launched, it is not necessarily clear that I will give you the title It will be the same as now, so you all have to take care of yourself!" Finally, Dugu Ye dropped this shocking news to the concubines.

The message revealed by the emperor is obvious: when the new concubine system is implemented, the wife is not necessarily the superior, and the concubine is not necessarily the inferior!It all depends on your performance!

Ignoring that the concubines were turned into wooden figures, Duguye and Si Luoyun returned to the bedroom.

When he arrived at the bedroom, Dugu Ye thought that there were still a few memorials that had to be approved today, so he called Liao Muer and Chun Xiao, and ordered them to take good care of the queen seriously.

Si Luoyun thought of the words that Empress Dowager Xu sent Huang Momo to say, and suggested to Duguye that she should do it herself to change the palace system and concubine system.

"There is the old system of the previous dynasty to follow, so there is no need for the concubine to expend any effort." Si Luoyun did not wait for Dugu Ye to object, and said her own thoughts, "Since the concubine became the lord of the six palaces, she has not really managed After a few days in the harem, it is inevitable that there will be suspicion of dereliction of duty. Besides, this matter only needs to be supervised by the concubines in the early stage. not reach."

Duguye thought about it, and felt that with Chunxiao and Liao Muer supervising, Si Luoyun would not be really tired.If she was really asked to do nothing, it would be boring to think about it!

So, he nodded in agreement.

The news of the queen's pregnancy quickly spread throughout the capital, and the prime minister's mansion was full of joy!
After hearing the news, Mrs. Zhao went to the Buddhist hall and knelt for an hour, and made a wish for peace in front of the Bodhisattva with tears streaming down her face.

When Mrs. Zhao came out of the Buddhist hall, the servant girl beside her stepped forward and said in a low voice: "Ma'am, the prime minister was going to come to the main courtyard after returning to the mansion, but was stopped by Aunt Ning at the second gate. Go! It's gone there now."

Hearing this, Mrs. Zhao just sneered!
As for her husband, Si Jianchang, Mrs. Zhao has long given up on the idea of ​​finding old love again!Now they can't even fade the so-called relationship between husband and wife!

"Order the steward to get ready. Tomorrow I will go to the palace to visit the empress." Mrs. Zhao ordered.

What would be more important now than the pregnancy of the queen's daughter!That fickle husband was no longer worth her troubles!
Here Mrs. Zhao is only thinking about her daughter, while Aunt Ning is also worried about her daughter!
Sending someone to stand at the second gate to wait for Prime Minister Si to return to the mansion, she couldn't bear it anymore!

"Master Xiang!" Aunt Ning cried until Lihua trembled, and kept pressing the corners of her eyes with her handkerchief.

When Prime Minister Si heard that Queen Si was pregnant, he was very happy!I wanted to go to the main courtyard to have a chat with my wife, and let Mrs. Zhao mention the promotion of his second son Siming Yuan when he visited Queen Si in the palace, but was begged by Aunt Ning's people to come over.As soon as he entered the room, he saw the concubine crying heartbreakingly, and he was slightly displeased!
Aunt Ning only shed tears because she felt sorry for Mrs. Si in the palace, but she ignored the displeasure on Prime Minister Si's face.

"Master Xiang, the empress is pregnant now, but there is no news about the third lady who has always been loved by the emperor. I am worried and sad for the third lady." Aunt Ning cried, "Could it be that the people in the palace didn't serve her well?" ,so……"

"Nonsense!" Prime Minister Si sneered at the nonsense of the concubine's room! "How can the people in the palace not serve you well? The empress's pregnancy is a great joy, why are you so sad? Also, don't let the third lady and the third lady scream! That's a noble person in the palace!"

Although Prime Minister Si favors Aunt Ning and her children, it doesn't mean that he doesn't care about his official position!It's okay to let the concubine talk nonsense!
When Aunt Ning was reprimanded by Prime Minister Si, she was frightened back into tears, and looked at the stern Prime Minister Si while sobbing.

"Master..." Aunt Ning was a winking woman. Seeing that Prime Minister Si was upset, she immediately changed her aggrieved expression, "The empress is pregnant, of course I am also happy! I think that if Mrs. Si is also Wouldn't it be better for our Prime Minister's Mansion to be pregnant? Before Mrs. Si sent someone to the Prime Minister's Mansion to ask the maid to serve in the palace, so the concubine wondered if the people sent by the palace to serve did not suit Mrs. Si's wishes, so That's why I said that. I won't talk nonsense in the future."
