Lin Bao picked up the warm water on the table and took a long sip. However, when he didn't want to turn around, Lian Che had already sat up from the bed.
He stretched out as usual, put his hands on his sides, looked at her, and said, "Why did you get up so early today?"
"Maybe it's because I slept a little too long last night." After saying that, she rubbed her messy hair.
Lian Che looked at her sloppy appearance and sighed, smiled helplessly, and watched her put on her clothes before letting the palace servants come in to freshen them up.
After all, Lin Bao is still a father-in-law. If someone discovers that she is a girl, even if he intends to protect her, it will attract criticism.
After freshening up, Lian Che did not go to court, but had breakfast with Lin Bao in the palace.
Looking at the preserved egg porridge in front of him, Lin Bao frowned, raised his eyes to look at Lian Che, and wondered, "Don't you have to go to court today?"
I saw Lian Mou scooping up the porridge with a spoon very gracefully, taking a sip, and said: "Well - I drank too much yesterday. I have a headache today, so I don't want to go."
“…”
Is this what is called working according to your mood
Lin Bao swallowed and reached out to scoop out the porridge. Just as he was about to eat it, he felt a sense of nausea in his heart. He threw down the spoon and ran out of the hall and retched. Fortunately, she only drank water in the morning. I didn't eat much, otherwise I would have vomited a lot by now.
Seeing her always acting like this, Lian Che frowned and quickly ordered Eunuch An to ask for the imperial doctor, while he supported Lin Bao and walked back into the palace.
Lin Bao originally wanted to take this opportunity to tell him, but seeing so many palace people around him, he felt a little reluctant to speak. Just at this moment, the Queen Mother came in together with the imperial doctor.
She stood up quickly and was about to salute when the Queen Mother stepped forward to help her up and whispered in her ear: "You are pregnant, so you should not salute."
Lin Bao nodded, and had no choice but to let her help him sit on the chair, and let the old director of the Imperial Hospital take his pulse.
At first, the imperial doctor touched his beard and felt the pulse nonchalantly, but somehow he seemed to find something strange. A trace of panic flashed in his eyes, and he changed his hand again to confirm the pulse. Then he stood up, lifted up his robe and knelt down. On the ground, he said: "Congratulations, Your Majesty, your father-in-law is very happy!"
-What!
After hearing this, all the people in the palace put down their work and gathered at the entrance of the palace to watch. For a while, there was a lot of noise.
At this moment, Imperial Physician An said again: "I guarantee with my lifelong medical skills that my father-in-law is indeed two months pregnant."
After hearing this, Lian Che's eyes flashed with shock, but seeing the guilty looks on his mother's and Lin Bao's face, he immediately understood something in his heart.
—What do you think? They already know about this, right? But they found out and didn't even tell him!
With a dark face, Lian Che waved his hand at the imperial doctor, helplessly held his forehead and said, "Then Imperial Physician Lao'an will prescribe some anti-fetal medicine."
Anti-fetal medicine
Everyone looked at each other in disbelief, staring at Lian Che with an expression of disbelief - Your Majesty, are you sure it's an anti-fetal medicine and not a miscarriage medicine
Dr. An had no choice but to do as he was told, and then he retreated and closed the palace door.
Seeing that there were no outsiders, Lian Che said: "You have known this for a long time?"
Lin Bao raised his face and laughed a few times, and said: "Hahaha - actually, I was planning to go to the imperial study room to tell you yesterday, but who knew I would see you and Yan Chuchu together."
"So you just forgot?" He was speechless, with a terrifyingly gloomy face.
Seeing her future daughter-in-law being wronged, the Queen Mother naturally could not stand by and watch, she took Lin Bao in one hand to protect her in her arms and said: "She is pregnant, and you are still cruel to her!"
Seeing his mother's posture, Lian Che was speechless - God, is this really his mother? Why is Mao still turning his elbows outward when she is his own mother
Seeing that he didn't speak, Lin Bao thought he was really angry. He stepped forward and tugged on his sleeve and said, "Lian Che, don't be angry. I only found out about it yesterday."
-Furthermore, she could have told him the news yesterday, but who knew she would actually see Yan Chuchu? If it hadn't been for that Yan Chuchu, this would not have happened.
Hearing this, Lian Che sighed, poked her little head in an angry and funny way, and said, "When did I say that I was angry?"
Lin Bao blinked, "Aren't you angry?"
"Why should I be angry? I'm going to be the father of the emperor. Why should I be angry? You think so - the Queen Mother." After saying that, he raised his eyes and looked at the Queen Mother who was still sitting here just now. But who knows, the Queen Mother He actually went out just now!
-But I guess the Queen Mother doesn’t want to be a light bulb.
Seeing his embarrassment, Lin Bao burst out laughing and said, "Look, the Queen Mother won't even help you."
Her words undoubtedly hit his pain point, but now was not the time to argue with her about this.
Lian Che reached out to hold her in his arms, held her face in his hands, kissed her on the forehead, and said, "Bao'er, it looks like you're going to have to work hard for a while."
"It won't be hard if you're with me." She blushed and habitually touched her lower abdomen with one hand. Although it was still flat, a little guy would jump out of it in seven months. Out.
After thinking about it, she just felt a little happy, and her head was filled with a halo of maternal love.
Lian Che followed her hand and touched her belly, put it against her forehead, and whispered: "Do you think - is this a boy or a girl?"
"how could I know."
She smiled and added, "But I don't mind if it's a boy or a girl. After all, they are our children."
"That's true. However, I really hope it's a boy - as long as it's a boy, the throne will definitely be his, and then you won't have to work hard to have another one."
His voice was a little soft, and even his movements of stroking her belly were a little cautious. Presumably he was afraid that if the sound was too loud, it would scare the child, and if the movement was too heavy, it would hurt the child.
Lin Bao felt warm in his heart, put his arms around his waist, pressed his face against his chest, and called out: "Lian Che—"
"Huh?" He raised his head and also put his arms around her body.
After thinking for a long time, Lin Bao then said: "If it is a prince this time, then how about we have another princess? When we are no longer here, at least there will be relatives to accompany him."
"I don't have a problem with how many children you want, as long as you don't feel tired." He said it calmly. After all, in terms of carrying on the family line, he only needs to provide a few seeds, and other things are all left to him. Gave it to her.
It was undeniable that his words made her feel at ease, a sense of solidity arose spontaneously, and more importantly, there was sweetness in her heart.
She thought, it would be great if she could stay like this with him.

Knowing that she was pregnant, Lian Che didn't let her go on duty and simply gave her a long vacation. Even the Queen Mother came to report every day and talked to Lin Bao from time to time.
In order to prevent his identity from being exposed, Lin Bao no longer allowed the Queen Mother to call him "Wanyan", but instead called himself "Lin Bao" together with Lian Che.
After all, the name "Lin Wanyan" only belongs to her body, but "Lin Bao" belongs to her soul.
The Queen Mother didn't dig into this, she just thought it was a pseudonym.
As for the news of Lin Bao's pregnancy, Lian Che ordered Gu Rufeng to suppress it one by one. Therefore, except for the palace officials of Chaoyang Palace and a few palace residents of Taiyuan Hospital, no one in the palace knew about it at this time.
For the sake of Lin Bao and the child in her belly, Lian Che decided to let Gu Rufeng protect the two of them secretly, while the Queen Mother directly asked Wen Su to accompany Lin Bao.
Ever since he knew that Wen Su was someone close to the Queen Mother, Lin Bao had become closer to her, but Wen Su always looked indifferent, call it alienation - and she was very considerate to you, call it intimacy. —She won’t take the initiative to talk to her too much.
However, compared to Yan Chuchu, Wen Su is relatively good.
I don’t know where she heard this news. Anyway, she took time to visit Lin Bao every day and even sent a lot of supplements.
Lin Bao was wary of her and just accepted it, but never refused to eat it. But she didn't feel bored and still sent supplements all day long.
No, let’s talk about Cao Cao. Cao Cao is here—
Lin Bao was sitting on a soft cushion and was chatting with the Queen Mother about household matters, when he saw Yan Chuchu, dressed in festive clothes, leading a group of palace servants carrying tonics and utensils into the main hall grandly.
"It turns out that the Queen Mother is here! Chu Chu greets the Queen Mother -" As she said that, she bowed politely, with a flattering smile on her delicate face.
The Queen Mother nodded slightly, raised her hand to signal her to stand up, took a look at the supplements she brought, and said: "Chuchu, there seem to be too many of these supplements. I haven't finished all the ones that were delivered yesterday."
Lin Bao on the side nodded in agreement. You must know that she almost vomited after taking those supplements in the past few days. All of this must be attributed to Lian, who was still in the imperial study room reviewing the memorial.
What she didn't understand was that he actually forced her to drink several bowls of Dabu Decoction every day under the pretext that "she is too thin and will affect the development of the fetus." The key is that she is not so thin that it will affect the development of the fetus. What!
Glancing at the supplements that Yan Chuchu brought, she felt a little dizzy. She rubbed her tired eyes, yawned and said, "Queen Mother, I'm tired. Can you go back and take a nap first?"
"Go ahead."
The Queen Mother smiled gently at her, and Wen Su at the side hurriedly stepped forward to help Lin Bao into the inner hall.
Yan Chuchu naturally felt uncomfortable watching Lin Bao being favored. Looking at Wen Su's back helping her leave, she couldn't help clenching her fists, but the corners of her lips curled up into a smile.
*
After Wen Su got the note from Yan Chuchu, she was not too surprised. After all, it was all within her expectations. While Lin Bao was asleep, she went to Leng Gong alone to look for her. Yan Chuchu.
At first, Yan Chuchu didn't have too many expectations for her to come to the appointment. After all, according to Wen Su's temperament, it was very possible that she would not come to the appointment.
Therefore, when she saw Wen Su coming to the appointment alone, she was shocked.
Looking at Yan Chuchu who was hidden in the night, Wen Su just walked up to her and stood still, saying calmly: "I wonder what the princess wants to do with Wen Su?"
"Of course I have something important to do when I'm looking for you—"
She smiled, took out a jade pendant of fine quality and pure color from her sleeve, put it in her hand, and continued: "I know that you like my senior brother as much as I do, and that pseudo-eunuch is the biggest among us. If you are willing to help me get rid of her, I would not mind asking the emperor to give you a concubine position. "
Hearing her self-righteous tone, Wen Su felt a little funny and said sarcastically: "Why do you think I will help you?"
"Because you also like senior brother—"
Unexpectedly, before she finished speaking, she was interrupted by Wen Su: "Why do you think I like the emperor?"
Suddenly, the confidence on Yan Chuchu's face disappeared, with a little shock in her eyes, she frowned and said, "Is it possible that you don't like senior brother?"
Wen Su just smiled and did not answer.
But Yan Chuchu didn't know what to do at this moment. You must know that she dared to find her out and believed that she would help him because she liked Lian Che!
But looking at her now, she doesn't look like she likes Lian Che, but there is a trace of nobility in her body, as if she is born with it, which is completely inconsistent with her status as a palace maid.
Looking at her with a confused look on her face but no other action, Wen Su was a little impatient and frowned: "Is there anything else, princess? If nothing happens, Wen Su has to go back."
After that, she made a show of walking away, but Yan Chuchu said unwillingly behind her: "Who are you?"
Hearing this, Wen Su's steps paused slightly, but she did not stop. She straightened her spine and continued walking forward - she felt that Yan Chuchu was not qualified to ask her this question.
But Yan Chuchu behind her felt that she had lost all face. Staring at her back, she made up another mind.
-Since it’s useless to look for her, it’s better to look for her.

Lin Bao, who was idle in the Chaoyang Palace, stared at the big tonic soup in front of him, which was really hard to swallow.
- Peat Lian Che, isn't she just pregnant? Why did she drink so much
After thinking about it, she sadly held the bowl and took a few sips of the tonic soup, but suddenly she heard the eunuch outside the door shouting: "Master Nian, Miss Nian are here-"
Senior
Lin Bao felt a little excited, put the bowl in his hand on the table casually, stood up and looked towards the door.
I saw Nian Hua approaching from the door in a white robe and holding a bamboo fan. Because of the light, I couldn't see the expression on his face clearly, but Nian Ruyan behind him looked gloomy.
She stepped forward, "Why are you here too?"
"Come here to see you for Jinnian." He didn't hide it. Although the corners of his lips were raised in a smile, there was clearly a touch of sadness in his eyes.
Hearing this, Lin Bao snorted coldly, "Why doesn't that damn goldfish come to see me by himself? Even if his back is injured, he can still walk, right? If it doesn't work, you can have someone carry him over!"
"He doesn't have the guts." Nian Ruyan pouted on the side and muttered unhappily.
