When Concubine Qing heard Mu Yexiao's confirmation, she immediately closed her eyes to stop the tears that were about to fall from her eyes, and looked at the two of them: "Today is the happiest day for mother."
"My son did the right thing, but you shouldn't have told anyone. You don't know how worried your mother is. Your legs can't get better, even with Jiu'er's assurance."
"But mother was still worried. Now that everything is finally fine, mother is relieved. From today on, just pretend that what happened just now never happened."
"Mother doesn't know that your legs have healed yet, and Jiu'er's pregnancy is a secret. Keep it a secret for as long as you can. Don't give anyone the chance to harm you."
Mu Yexiao and Qian Jiujiu looked at each other and nodded, "Then I'll have to trouble you, mother, for this matter. Keep my pregnancy secret for now. Just say that I ate the wrong thing today."
"I just feel a little uncomfortable in my stomach, and I think the Queen Mother doesn't want to see me anymore, so I'll go back soon. As for the gift for the Queen Mother, I'll ask the Queen to pass it on."
"After all, my daughter-in-law is a sick person, so she should not go to the Queen Mother's palace recently, so as not to offend the Queen Mother."
After hearing what Qian Jiujiu said, Concubine Qing was immediately satisfied: "Yes, everything now is not as important as your belly. Your belly is only two months old now."
"Before three months, you must be extra careful with the medicine, understand? After three months, your stomach will swell up, what are you going to do then?"
Qian Jiujiu looked at Concubine Qing's worried face and couldn't help but laugh: "Mother, don't worry for now. Things will work out when the time comes. There will always be a solution."
Listening to Qian Jiujiu's comfort, Mu Yexiao nodded: "Yes, mother, Jiuer and I will go back first, don't worry too much, Jiuer is very smart and knows medical skills."
"There are very few people who can harm her, so don't worry too much."
Two people came out of Concubine Qing's palace and started to go back in a carriage. When the emperor got the news, the two people had already left the palace. The emperor was a little depressed.
He always had a feeling of being left out by Concubine Qing and the other two, but right now, he still had to deal with the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother fainted, and Qian Jiujiu vomited again and left.
The emperor decided to send the empress dowager back to the palace, and Qian Yuge's matter was naturally settled. Since she had returned and was the empress dowager's benefactor, it was natural for her to stay.
After sending the empress dowager back to the palace, the emperor summoned the imperial physician. After taking the empress dowager's pulse, the imperial physician said that the empress dowager had been tired from the journey and just needed a good rest.
After the imperial physician left, all the ministers also left. Naturally, they did not dare to disturb the empress dowager's rest. As long as the emperor stayed, the empress dowager was lucky that she did not pretend for long.
Just after the imperial physician left, the empress dowager woke up quickly. Looking at the emperor and empress sitting beside her, she was still very satisfied, and there was no one she disliked.
In fact, the Queen Mother has always disliked Concubine Qing. After all, Concubine Qing's favor was too much, even overshadowing the Queen, although the Queen was not angry.
But as an aunt, she felt sorry for her niece, so when she was in the palace, she always made things difficult for Concubine Qing.
She had already won today, and after she returned to the palace, it would become lively. However, Concubine Qing was trapped in the palace and could not come out to join in the fun.
She was happy, but she didn't expect that Mu Yexiao was still as unlikable as ever. He even forced her to pretend to faint in order to pass this level. And that Qian Jiujiu was not likable either.
A concubine's daughter married the prince and became a princess, but she didn't know how to curry favor with him. She was really annoying. The emperor had seen that the queen mother had woken up, but she just rolled her eyes and didn't say anything.
"Mother, are you still feeling unwell? Do you want me to go again and call the imperial physician back?"
The Queen Mother snorted, "No need. Why are you the only ones here? Where are Concubine Qing and Prince Xiao? And Princess Xiao, why don't you come over to let me see her?"
The emperor's mouth twitched. You just offended someone, and you still expect them to come and pay their respects to you? The queen also heard this.
Helplessly, he had to come out to smooth things over, looking at the Queen Mother: "Mother, you misunderstood. The Emperor has confined Concubine Qing for three days! And the Princess Xiao."
"It seems that he ate something he shouldn't have, so he went back to recuperate. He said he was sick because he didn't want to offend you, so he didn't come to pay his respects. But this child is thoughtful."
"I left the gift she brought for you. She said she had never seen the Imperial Grandmother before, so this is a gift to you. I hope you don't mind."
As he said this, he glanced at the palace maid beside him, and the palace maid immediately brought up the Shengyan Tang facial mask. Qian Yuge took a look at it and couldn't help but sneer.
Seeing this, the Queen Mother looked at Qian Yuge and said, "Ge'er, what's wrong with this gift?"
Qian Yuge shook her head and said, "My Queen Mother, I don't think there is anything wrong with the gift. After all, Shengyan Hall was opened by Princess Xiao. It's normal for Princess Xiao to give you something from Shengyan Hall."
The empress dowager felt uncomfortable when she heard this. Why didn't they make any preparations at all? They just gave the things they sold to her. The empress dowager said coldly.
"Got it, put it aside."
The emperor and the empress looked at each other and hated Qian Yuge, but they didn't dare to say anything. Fortunately, the empress dowager's nanny was very sensible.
So he asked someone to take it over, and the emperor stood up at this time; "Since the queen mother has woken up, I see that you have nothing to do. I have prepared a dinner party tonight."
"It's to welcome mother. I hope mother will attend."
The Queen Mother was satisfied and looked at the Emperor: "Okay, I understand, you can go and do your work first."
The emperor left, and the queen also stood up and prepared to leave. But before leaving, she looked at Qian Yuge and said, "Mother, since there is nothing else to do now."
"Then I will send Miss Qian home."
The Queen Mother shook her head and said, "Don't worry about this. I have my own plans tonight. The Qian family will also come to the palace tonight. Let Ge'er go back with the Qian family then."
The queen frowned, feeling that something was wrong, but she couldn't help but be happy: "Then my daughter-in-law will leave first."
As she spoke, the Queen also left the Empress Dowager's palace, intending to go to Concubine Qing's palace, but she heard the eunuch report that the Emperor had gone to the Summer Palace.
Since the emperor had gone, the queen thought it would be better not to go, otherwise if the empress dowager found out, there would be another disturbance, so she turned around and returned to the palace.
But she was a little worried about Qian Jiujiu's health, and now Qian Jiujiu was in the palace, basking in the sun!
Although the weather was a bit cold, it was still very warm when the sun was out at noon. Qian Jiujiu was basking in the sun while watching Mu Yexiao dancing with the sword.
The four main maids in her yard are all reliable. This can be seen from the fact that Mu Yexiao's leg has been healed for more than two months, but the news has not spread at all.
Thinking of this, Qian Jiujiu felt that she should tell these girls about her pregnancy. Maybe these girls could come up with some good ideas!
He did as he said. Just when he was about to ask Hongling to call the four maids over, he saw Qingyu walking in with a smile on her face. Qian Jiujiu suddenly became curious.
"Qingyu, what are you so happy about?"
Qingyu was suddenly startled by Qian Jiujiu's voice: "I have seen the princess, but it's not a big deal. Xiaoman came today. Don't you know that Xiaoman told a joke when he came today!"
"What a joke, tell it and make this princess happy."
Hearing Qian Jiujiu's words, Qingyu blinked her eyes and said, "She is a villager from Xiaolin Village. She is so stupid that she didn't even know she had a child. She only found out after the child was born."
"I was shocked when the baby was born!"
When Mu Yexiao and Qian Jiujiu heard this, they couldn't help but look at each other, with a light flashing in their eyes. Qian Jiujiu looked at Qingyu: "Qingyue, don't tease this princess."
"If you have a baby, your belly will get bigger. How could you not know?"
When Qingyu heard this, she became anxious and looked at Qian Jiujiu: "Princess, this is what Xiaoman said, not me, and I didn't lie to you."
"How about I go find Xiaoman and ask her to tell you again. After all, Xiaoman knows the whole story."
Qian Jiujiu hummed and said, "I'm just bored, go get Xiaoman."
Qingyu turned around and went there quickly. As expected, she found Xiaoman not long after. Xiaoman looked at Qian Jiujiu and said, "Hello, Princess. Sister Qingyu said you were looking for me?"
Xiaoman is cute and young, so Qingyu and the other four maids have a good relationship with her. Qian Jiujiu nodded: "Yes, I heard that you told a joke today?"
"A woman only knows she has a child when she's giving birth? How can that be?"
Xiaoman's face was filled with deep realization: "So Princess, you want to hear about this matter. This is true. That's because that family has no elders."
"Besides, she was fat and her clothes were too big, so no one could see her belly, which is why this happened."
Qian Jiujiu only had one thing in her mind at this time, that is, the clothes were loose, wasn't that what she wanted? At worst, he could eat more and gain weight, and then her clothes were specially designed.
If the clothes are designed to be a little wider, they can cover the belly. In this way, the baby will have to be at least seven or eight months old and the belly will be very big before it will be noticed, right
You can also say that she has gained weight, feels ugly, and doesn't want to go out and see people. This method is really the best.
Qian Jiujiu couldn't help but burst into laughter and looked at Mu Yexiao: "Mu Yexiao, let's do it!"
