Chapter 122 Justifying Pregnancy
As they were talking, Xingluo came out, glanced around, and walked straight to Madam Qiao, Chi Guiwan, where she bowed and said...
"The Crown Princess wishes to speak with Madam Qiao alone. Please, Madam."
Chi Guiwan's visit today is due to her status, but He Lingyi has finally had a chance to make her mother proud, so she naturally wants to act more affectionately in front of everyone, so that those who have spread rumors about her mother will back down.
"grandmother……"
"Go ahead. It's fate that you've gained the favor of the Crown Princess. Now that Xiao Er is also serving the Crown Prince, you two are truly blessed."
Old Madam Qiao's words reassured Chi Guiwan considerably.
She hasn't let anyone know she's pregnant yet, as the timing is quite sensitive, so she's been staying home to rest and hasn't gone out. She asks her grandmother's permission before doing anything.
After receiving permission, she followed Xingluo inside.
Upon seeing Ho Ling-yee, the two exchanged a knowing smile.
very nice.
Even though their statuses are different now, in their hearts they will always be the two closest friends they used to be.
"Big sister, how are you feeling?"
"There's nothing particularly wrong with her, just a bit sleepy. Her family is very attentive. My sister-in-law has a nanny who's good at treating women's and children's illnesses, and she's been taking care of her in my yard, so everything is fine."
Upon hearing this, Chensha stepped forward to take his pulse and examine him.
After a moment, she nodded and answered respectfully.
“Your Highness, although Madam Qiao’s pulse is weak, it is steady and strong. Judging from her complexion, she takes good care of herself. Therefore, this pregnancy will definitely be safe and sound.”
Upon hearing this, both of them showed expressions of relief.
Even knowing that the birth of this child might very well be the day she herself vanishes, He Lingyi still hoped that her mother would be well in every way.
She gave birth to a healthy child, took good care of her body, and received full support from her husband's family.
"That's good. Take some supplements back with you later, and then take good care of yourself. The first pregnancy is the most important, it's a matter of a lifetime."
"The Crown Princess said exactly the same thing as my sister-in-law. She also constantly reminds me, and Qianchun makes sure I finish all the medicinal meals for pregnancy every day."
"The Qiao family are all good people. My eldest sister is fortunate to marry into their family."
Chi Guiwan sighed, "It's all thanks to your help that I had this opportunity. Otherwise, I don't know where I would have pushed such a good in-laws away."
Time always flies when you're chatting, and before you know it, half an incense stick has burned out.
Xingluo stepped forward and reminded him that there were other people to meet later. At this point, Chi Guiwan stood up, preparing to bow and leave, but He Lingyi helped her up.
There's no need for such formalities between us; we don't need to greet each other politely in private.
Chi Guiwan could tell that He Lingyi meant what she said, so she smiled and nodded.
"I'll pay you a visit after the Crown Princess finishes her work these next few days. I'll bring you some milk skin pastries and coconut milk cakes then; I'm sure you'll like them."
"it is good."
After the two made their agreement, they saw that Jiaoyue had already prepared the tonics, which were carried by four maids, showing that she valued them highly.
After Xingluo saw her off, people were still talking noisily outside.
Xingluo quickly stepped forward and bowed to Madam Qiao.
"Congratulations, Madam! Congratulations, Madam Qiao is pregnant!"
Upon hearing this, everyone present looked over. Chi Guiwan was naturally a little embarrassed to have her first pregnancy announced in front of so many people. However, Madam Qiao reacted quickly, knowing that the Crown Princess was paving the way for them, and immediately stepped forward with feigned surprise.
"What's going on? Why did Miss Xingluo suddenly say that?"
"A few days ago, the Crown Princess had a lucky dream. She dreamt that when she was on the verge of a cliff, Madam Qiao Er came to her rescue and saved her life. Afterwards, she even obtained a magical herb. That's why the Crown Princess summoned Madam Qiao Er today to inquire about this matter. Unexpectedly, when she examined Madam Qiao Er's pulse with cinnabar, she discovered that Madam Qiao Er was pregnant. Although the pregnancy was still in its early stages, it was steady and strong. It is conceivable that the child in her womb must be the reincarnation of the magical herb child. It is the blessing of Madam Qiao Er's rescue. Therefore, the Crown Princess decreed that this child is extremely auspicious and, regardless of whether it is a boy or a girl, will be someone that the Crown Prince cares about."
These few words essentially defined the nature of the child in Chi Guiwan's womb.
She became pregnant during the mourning period for Madam Guo, which was extremely disrespectful, since the wedding day and the day Madam Guo passed away were so close together, and she was bound to be criticized.
But now that the Crown Princess has stepped forward to vouch for her, what can anyone else say?
Naturally, after their initial surprise, they immediately went forward to offer their congratulations again and again. Therefore, Old Madam Qiao and Madam Qiao followed suit, beaming with joy.
"Very good. Thanks to the Crown Princess's auspicious dream, this child has come to my Qiao family. Just as the Crown Princess said, this child, whether male or female, will surely be destined to be with the Crown Princess. Second granddaughter-in-law, you should visit the Eastern Palace more often in the future, so as to make the Crown Princess happy."
"Yes, Grandmother, your granddaughter-in-law will remember."
The old lady was indeed shrewd; in no time, she gave Chi Guiwan a suitable excuse to enter and leave the East Palace in the future. After all, Chi Guiwan was the fairy herb boy personally chosen by the Crown Princess, so of course he should be visited more often.
These words silenced the few sour ladies who had been spitting out their words.
It was one thing for the Crown Princess to be at the height of her power, but even the Chi family girl, whom they usually looked down upon, benefited from it. Although the matter was suppressed, everyone knew about the sordid affairs in the Chi family.
My sister lost her virginity before marriage and had no choice but to marry him.
She was pregnant during her mourning period, and it was hard to say exactly when she conceived. So, the group exchanged glances, realizing they had plenty of gossip to share, but decided against it at this time.
But his eyes were full of disdain.
The Qiao family members were relieved; no matter what, the child in Chi Guiwan's womb was now protected.
When the news reached the front courtyard, Qiao Er feigned great joy. In response, the Crown Prince calmly said, "Since the child was conceived through the Crown Princess's auspicious dream, let's name him Yi. May he soar high and spread his wings to ride the sky, what do you think?"
Upon hearing this, Qiao Er immediately clasped his hands in thanks.
"The Crown Prince bestowed a name upon this child, which is the highest honor. Qiao Yi is the most suitable name for him."
Seeing this, everyone quickly raised their glasses and congratulated Qiao Er from both sides. This series of happy events made the winter day even more lively.
It wasn't until late at night, when everyone had left, that the bustling activity in the Eastern Palace finally returned to its usual tranquility.
On the occasion of the Crown Prince's wedding, no one dared to force anyone to drink indiscriminately.
However, Qiao Er, the Hai Jin brothers, and other commanders, who were by the Crown Prince's side, were all drunk and helped out of the Eastern Palace.
Inside Chengen Hall, He Lingyi had changed out of the elaborate clothes she wore during the day, and had already washed up and changed into comfortable undergarments.
The cuffs of her inner garment were embroidered with peony patterns, symbolizing the wealth and honor of the imperial family. The lamplight flickered, and soon Yunzhi walked in and spoke to He Lingyi.
"Your Highness, Your Highness has arrived."
