Chapter 171 You are happy
Many thoughts flashed through Yan Qingning's mind quickly. In the end, she could only wait and see what happened and then act accordingly.
As soon as I entered the door, the heat of summer instantly dissipated.
From the corner of her eye, she saw a woman in a warm apricot-colored palace dress, sitting like a little bird next to the majestic Emperor Chu.
However, the forced smile on the woman's face betrayed her inner anxiety.
Yan Qingning walked a few steps away from the Emperor of Chu without looking around, and bowed: "Yan Qingning greets the Emperor and greets Lady Yue."
"No need to be polite." The Chu Emperor looked at her for a moment with his eyes that made it impossible to tell whether he was happy or angry, and then he said slowly, "Ms. Yue is feeling a little unwell. Please take a look at her."
Yan Qingning was slightly surprised. What did the Emperor of Chu mean by this?
There are imperial physicians in the palace, so why let her see Concubine Yue?
However, it was only a fleeting thought. Yan Qingning responded calmly and respectfully, then raised his eyes to look at Yue Meiren.
Yue Meiren has a petite figure, beautiful appearance, and a gentle and moving temperament, which is very much like the charm of a Jiangnan beauty. She is very comfortable to look at.
"Please move here, my beauty." Yan Qingning led her to the table.
She was not an imperial physician, so naturally she did not need to follow the rules of imperial physicians and kneel beside her to take her pulse.
The Emperor of Chu watched her words and actions, but he did not expect her to be so calm. The emperor's dark eyebrows moved slightly and then he regained his composure.
Chu Beiqing had already reported the truth about her treating his leg.
The Emperor of Chu was greatly surprised and felt it was really ridiculous.
So many imperial doctors and doctors who offered a reward all confirmed the same thing, so how could a miracle happen to a beautiful young lady by such a coincidence?
The Emperor of Chu could not help but feel suspicious because her age and qualifications were too unconvincing.
He had watched this girl grow up since she was a child. In the subconscious of the Emperor of Chu, he felt that it was enough to just let this girl eat, drink and have fun.
Unless she only likes to eat, drink and have fun and doesn't like to learn those women's arts of music, chess, calligraphy and painting, these are all superficial appearances to cover up the fact that she is learning medical skills. Only in this way can her current excellent medical skills be explained.
But isn’t this a bit too cunning?
Or maybe his good son...deceived him!
As an emperor, this kind of behavior of deceiving the emperor is absolutely not tolerated.
Yan Qingning lowered her eyebrows slightly, and saw the ever-changing expression of the Emperor of Chu from the corner of her eyes, but she could not guess what the emperor was thinking. Her mind was also racing with the purpose of the Emperor of Chu calling her over.
She felt that the reason why Emperor Chu summoned her here was definitely not just to see Concubine Yue.
There are countless imperial doctors in the palace, why did they summon her here to take Concubine Yue’s pulse?
According to the laws she knew about ancient times, the affection between royal fathers and sons was shockingly shallow, and the emperor could not be viewed from the perspective of an ordinary father and son.
So, did the Emperor of Chu suffer from the common problem of all emperors?
Only in this way can the current situation be explained!
After making up his mind, Yan Qingning began to take the patient's pulse seriously.
The pulse of Yue Meiren should be smooth, somewhat disordered, and somewhat fast...
Yan Qingning raised his eyes to see Yue Meiren's face was pale and there were faint shadows in the whites of her eyes. If you didn't look closely from such a close distance, you wouldn't be able to see it easily.
"When was your last menstrual period, Miss Yue?" Yan Qingning asked softly.
Yue Meiren's fingers trembled slightly, "It was at the beginning of last month, and this month is already ten days off."
Yan Qingning asked again, "Ms. Yue, have you felt unwell recently?"
Yue Meiren lowered her eyes slightly, not looking into Yan Qingning's eyes, and pretended to be calm and said softly: "It's just that my appetite is not good. The food I usually like doesn't taste right, and the taste is not right..."
During the silence, Yue Meiren's pulse became faster and faster, proving her nervousness at the moment.
nervous?
What was she nervous about? Yan Qingning raised her eyebrows slightly, then let go of Yue Meiren's wrist.
Yue Meiren immediately withdrew her hand, said thank you, and stood up. She held her wrist, and there seemed to be still the touch of her fingertips pressing on it.
She walked up to the emperor with some uneasiness in her heart.
Before she even sat down, the Emperor of Chu asked Yan Qingning, "How is Lady Yue?"
Yan Qingning raised her eyes and first glanced at Emperor Chu.
The look in the Emperor of Chu's eyes was unfathomable. Although his words expressed his nervous concern for Lady Yue, the Emperor's gaze, like a sharp blade, revealed a deep sense of oppression.
It makes it impossible to escape, as if no secret is too big to be hidden.
Yan Qingning lowered her eyes slightly as if in submission: "Congratulations, Your Majesty, Lady Yue is pregnant..."
Although she congratulated, her voice suddenly paused. When she looked up at the emperor, her eyes revealed a perfect hesitation to speak.
When Yue Meiren heard this, her eyes lit up and she looked very surprised, but then a hint of worry flashed across her eyes.
The Emperor of Chu froze for a moment, as if he was struck by the news of his concubine's pregnancy, and then he laughed out loud, "Okay, okay, everyone in the Xincui Palace will be rewarded, and everyone will receive an extra three months' salary.
Concubine Qing Wang has made great contributions in helping Lady Yue identify the heir to the throne. Chen Dezhong will reward Concubine Qing Wang generously..."
Chen Dezhong smiled happily along with the Emperor of Chu, "Yes..."
Yan Qingning was not surprised at all by the sudden "heavy reward". She just followed Yue Meiren calmly to thank her for the reward.
At the same time, I was thinking, after all the rewards were given, Yue Meiren was the only one left out. Did the emperor intend to reward Yue Meiren after she gave birth?
The Emperor of Chu personally helped Lady Yue onto the bed.
For a moment, Yue Meiren looked a little more fragile.
Yan Qingning lowered her eyebrows, hiding the expression in her eyes, and thought silently, could it be that the Emperor of Chu sent someone to summon her here on purpose just to find an excuse to reward her because of Chu Beiqing?
Or am I overthinking it?
After all, Chu Beiqing didn't want to announce that he had recovered from his leg illness for the time being, so he couldn't give out large rewards.
This seems to make sense.
But Yan Qingning always felt that it wouldn't be that simple.
The Emperor of Chu gave Concubine Yue some gentle advice, asking her to rest and take care of her pregnancy, and then left on the pretext of handling government affairs.
At the same time, he also signaled Chen Dezhong to call Yan Qingning.
The words were very tactful. Concubine Yue was now pregnant with the royal heir and could not be too tired or disturbed. In short, Concubine Yue needed to rest and take care of her pregnancy.
Of course, Yan Qingning would not be stupid enough to get involved in other people's affairs. Even if Lady Yue asked her to stay, she would not stay.
As for whether it was the Emperor of Chu who asked her to come, or whether Concubine Yue played a role in this, Yan Qingning would not act rashly for the time being.
Meiren Yue watched Emperor Chu and Yan Qingning leave the door one after the other. Her forced calmness was instantly shattered and her face turned very pale.
Yue Meiren's fair and slender hands touched her belly. Looking at her flat belly, her almond-shaped eyes were filled with tears.
"I'm pregnant, I'm really pregnant..."
Although she had some guesses before, she couldn't be sure and didn't dare to expect anything.
Zishan, the trusted palace maid, hurried back. Seeing her like this, her eyes turned red and she said with some sadness, "Why didn't the beauty take this opportunity to tell His Majesty the truth?"
