QT: TPE Chapter 34.3

The Empress Dowager’s method of selecting concubines from among the common people was not without basis.

Years ago, the imperial physician told him that he was not infertile, but it was extremely difficult for him to conceive. If he encountered women with exceptionally fertile constitutions, they would be more likely to become pregnant than ordinary women, and these women might be able to conceive the imperial heir.

For example, Gui Fei in the palace, and that Meiren from a few years ago.

However, this type of woman is very rare in the population and is hard to come by. Over the years, he has had quite a few women in his harem, but he has only found two.

Unexpectedly, after he gave up hope, it turned out that his beloved Xu Lingyi was actually this type of woman.

Thinking of these things, the Emperor dared to gradually release the ecstasy that he had been suppressing in his heart.

His face was no longer serious; even when facing the imperial physician, the Emperor wore a smile, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously turned up.

In a friendly tone, with a hint of a smile in his voice, he asked the imperial physician, “Approximately how many months pregnant is De Fei?”

The imperial physician was flattered; His Majesty’s attitude toward him was so kind, and his tone so gentle.

“Your Majesty, it has been more than a month.”

The Emperor nodded. During that period, he was very troubled because he had to adopt a son from the imperial clan, so he stayed at Xu Shi’s palace more often.

“Is De Fei’s pregnancy going well?” The Emperor continued to inquire.

“Your Majesty, rest assured, De Fei is in relatively good health, and the imperial heir is currently safe.”

The Emperor breathed a sigh of relief and then burst into laughter.

“Reward them all! Reward them handsomely!”

Xu Lingyi touched her stomach, seemingly stunned and unable to believe it.

The Emperor looked at her, unusually losing his composure.

He quickly leaped forward and knelt down in front of Xu Lingyi, his eyes red.

Completely unlike his usual composed and dignified monarch image, he held her hand tightly: “My beloved consort, we have a child. You are carrying my child.”

Xu Lingyi could feel the Emperor’s hand trembling slightly; he was holding her hands so tightly that she could fully feel his joy and excitement.

The Emperor was so moved that he cried, so Xu Lingyi could only shed tears of joy as well, and she had to appear even more delighted.

Actually, she wasn’t surprised at all.

“Your Majesty, I truly never expected that something I dared not even dream of would actually come true…”

The Emperor quickly embraced her, lowered his head to kiss her cheek, and kissed away her tears. He was incredibly gentle at this moment.

“My beloved consort, I didn’t expect it either, but our imperial child has indeed come. My beloved consort is truly my lucky star. How fortunate I am.”

Xu Lingyi quickly reached out and covered the Emperor’s mouth. She still had tears on her face, but she smiled through them.

“Your Majesty, are you trying to make me feel bad? It is my great fortune to be able to conceive Your Majesty’s child. I am very happy to be able to bear children for Your Majesty.”

The Emperor held her in his arms, saying, “My beloved concubine is now pregnant; you must not shed tears.”

“Your Majesty, I am delighted.”

After Xu Lingyi finished speaking, the two of them laughed again.

The Emperor laughed louder and louder, becoming increasingly delighted.

Xu Lingyi thought to herself: This old Emperor, is this the first time he’s lost his composure like this?
