Chapter 204 Why Are You Crying?
After entering the palace, the two first went to pay a visit to the empress. When the empress learned that Wen Shubai was pregnant, surprise appeared in her majestic eyes.
"You mean, Old Seven found out she was pregnant on New Year's Eve?"
"Yes, I asked a doctor to come yesterday, and he said she is more than a month pregnant."
"This is good news, Eunuch Li, please go and ask the imperial physician to come over and take the seventh brother's pulse again."
"Mother, my wife has already called a doctor for me yesterday. Is there no need to trouble the imperial physician again today?"
Wen Shubai raised his head and spoke to the queen.
Gu Qingyuan pinched his palm and smiled, "Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty. However, I would like to ask, shouldn't the imperial physicians have gone home for the New Year?"
"Every year, a few imperial physicians will stay in the Imperial Medical Service, so there is no need to worry about the Imperial Medical Service being empty." The empress was in a good mood and patiently explained to them.
Just like in modern times, there are always unlucky people on duty during holidays, and they don’t even get triple pay.
After receiving the Queen's order, Eunuch Li walked out quickly, leaving the three of them behind.
After a while, Eunuch Li came in with a woman who looked to be about thirty or forty years old.
She first bowed to the Empress, then heard her say impatiently, "Forget it, no need to be so polite. I had you brought here because I want you to take the Seventh Prince's pulse. He was found to be pregnant yesterday, and I want you to take another look."
The imperial physician cupped his fists and said to Gu Qingyuan, "Let me congratulate Young Master Gu first."
Afterwards, she came to Wen Shubai's side, but didn't dare to breathe.
Firstly, His Majesty and Young Master Gu were both staring at her, and she was a little nervous.
Secondly, before the Seventh Prince got married, people in the palace were already talking about his beauty, and some even considered it an honor to be able to speak to him.
What's more, if a palace maid was looked at by him, she would almost faint with happiness.
Although he had been in the palace for so many years, he rarely had the opportunity to meet the legendary seventh prince.
Now, with just a casual glance, she found that the rumors were not false, and she felt a little envious of Gu Qingyuan's good fortune.
When the imperial physician came to Wen Shubai, he took the initiative to extend his hand, revealing a small part of his wrist, and said in a soft and pleasant voice, "Then I'll have to trouble you, imperial physician."
He knew that his mother had good intentions and wanted the imperial physician to check the child's and his own health again.
Therefore, when the imperial physician came to examine him, he cooperated very well.
His hair lay softly on his back. He was wearing the winter clothes that Gu Qingyuan had custom-made for him, and a rabbit fur scarf around his neck. The white rabbit fur made his face look even cleaner and more beautiful.
Calculated, he is only nineteen years old this year, and will be twenty after his birthday.
The imperial physician silently took his pulse and asked him a few questions, which Wen Shubai answered one by one.
Afterwards, the imperial physician withdrew his hand and said to the empress, "The Seventh Prince should have taken the pregnancy-maintaining medicine. His pulse is now stable, and the baby is healthy."
Gu Qingyuan breathed a sigh of relief and secretly looked at Wen Shubai. Coincidentally, he was also looking at her with a faint smile on his face.
The Queen waved her hand to let the doctor go back, and then said to them, "Would you two like to stay and have lunch together at noon?"
Gu Qingyuan replied, "We still have to go see Lord Liang later, so we won't bother Your Majesty for now."
"Go ahead, I just have some things to take care of."
Gu Qingyuan took Wen Shubai's hand and went outside. As soon as they went out, a biting cold wind blew over and penetrated their necks.
She saw that Wen Shubai's face was a little red from the wind, so she took the initiative to adjust his scarf and took the opportunity to gently pinch his face.
Then, Gu Qingyuan saw his accusing eyes and heard his words that sounded like a spoiled child.
"Wife, you are bullying me again."
Wen Shubai felt a chill on his face. It was her hand pinching his face, but she let go after touching it, as if she was afraid of hurting him.
"I told you there's a bug on your face. Do you believe me if I drive it away?"
"Where are the bugs in the middle of winter?" he muttered.
"I said yes."
Gu Qingyuan was extremely righteous.
Wen Shubai couldn't help laughing, and then took her hand. The two of them were wearing clothes of similar styles and colors, which looked like couple outfits.
Bringing gifts for Lord Liang, Gu Qingyuan arrived at his palace. After seeing Lord Liang, Gu Qingyuan said, "Greetings, Lord Liang."
"You are here." Liang Guijun nodded.
Wen Shubai looks very similar to Liang Guijun, and it can be said that he has perfectly inherited his advantages. Gu Qingyuan can even foresee what Wen Shubai will look like when he is old.
After seeing the two people coming to see him, Liang Guijun had them brought into the house and then closed the door. There was a charcoal fire in the house for heating, and it was very warm.
Noticing the two people holding hands, Liang Guijun smiled and said, "It seems that you two have a good relationship."
Being teased by his father, Wen Shubai's ears turned red and he was about to let go of Gu Qingyuan's hand.
"This is a gift prepared for you. I wish you a happy new year first."
Gu Qingyuan asked Chunfen, who was following behind them, to take out the gift prepared for Liang Guijun, and Liang Guijun accepted it with a smile.
At noon, Gu Qingyuan and Liang Guijun had lunch together and then left.
When leaving the palace with Wen Shubai, Gu Qingyuan found a person standing alone in the imperial garden, not knowing what he was thinking.
Looking closely, it was Yun Guijun who lost his daughter.
Ever since the death of the third princess, he has been acting abnormally. The stillborn fetus he buried under the tree was dug out by the empress and buried in the imperial mausoleum.
After all, it is the royal bloodline and must be buried in the imperial mausoleum.
"What is the wife looking at?"
Wen Shubai followed her gaze and saw the distraught Yun Guijun.
"Ah, I feel he's quite pitiful." Gu Qingyuan sighed. But no matter how pitiful he was, he secretly brought someone in from outside the palace to keep her, and even pretended to be a princess. It was good enough that the empress didn't punish him.
Moreover, he still spoiled the Third Princess even though she had lost the ability to speak. Didn't he really think that this was slowly killing her?
Perhaps because he had a child, Wen Shubai could understand Yun Guijun at this time, but when he heard Gu Qingyuan say that he was pitiful, he curled his lips and said, "There are so many pitiful people in the world."
Sensing the displeasure in his tone, Gu Qingyuan quickly pulled him away and no longer cared about Yun Guijun.
The two of them quickly returned home from the palace.
……
"Why cry!"
A woman looked impatiently at the crying baby girl.
She got a headache when she heard the crying, and she didn't know why she had the sudden impulse to bring this annoying guy back home.
She originally wanted to kill the man to avenge Wen Danyue, but she was soft-hearted and spared the man's life, letting him fend for himself.
