“I am also happy, my beloved consort.” The Emperor spoke with genuine emotion. Everyone present could see the Emperor’s joy at that moment.
The Emperor looked at the kneeling crowd and said, “The matter of De Fei’s pregnancy must not be revealed. If anyone spreads this news, they will lose their own head.”
Everyone in the hall knelt down and hurriedly said that they dared not.
Chief Eunuch Zhang understood and took the initiative to lead everyone who knew about this matter downstairs, giving them individual instructions, including telling them not to show it on their faces, so as not to be noticed by those with ulterior motives.
“His Majesty certainly believes in your loyalty, but you all have families, and it’s perfectly normal to talk to your families about things. But this matters…”
Everyone nodded quickly.
At this moment, only Xu Lingyi and the Emperor remained in the hall.
The Emperor looked at her with deep affection and couldn’t help but pick her up and spin her around a few times.
“I have another child!!”
“My beloved concubine, this time, it will surely be a prince.”
“Your Majesty!”
Xu Lingyi was picked up and suddenly became taller than the Emperor. She was afraid that the Emperor would lose his grip and drop her.
Fortunately, the Emperor wasn’t too overjoyed. He held her firmly and quickly put her down, saying, “My beloved consort, you weren’t frightened, were you? I’m just too happy today.”
Although he was the emperor, he had no sons. Because of this, even though he was the emperor and all the power in the world was concentrated in his hands, he still felt uncomfortable.
Even an ordinary person would feel upset and resentful if they didn’t get what they desperately wanted, let alone an emperor.
Now, all the frustration and unhappiness he had accumulated over the years were finally being released.
“My beloved consort, our child is still very young. I fear that there may be someone in the court or the harem who has ill intentions and wants to harm our child. I want to wait until three months later, when the pregnancy is completely stable, before spreading this news. Until then, I will keep it a secret for the time being.”
The Emperor attached great importance to this unborn child; even the Emperor feared that there might be times when he could not take care of it.
“Your Majesty, I will do as you say. I believe Your Majesty will protect the child in my womb and me .” Xu Lingyi looked at the Emperor gently.
“Once my beloved consort gives birth to the prince, I will bestow upon her the title of Empress, and your father, brothers, and relatives will also be honored…”
Xu Lingyi covered his mouth: “Your Majesty, it is my blessing to bear your child. I dare not ask for more.”
The Emperor held her hand: “I know my beloved consort doesn’t care about these things, but I will give you everything that is rightfully yours.”
Xu Lingyi grew up in luxury, and the Xu family had always been his close advisors, loyal and without ambition.
The Xu family, including Xu Lingyi, were not people who valued power, which was exactly what the Emperor liked best.
“My beloved consort, Imperial Physician Li, who works for Gui Fei, is the most skilled physician in the Imperial Medical Bureau and the physician I trust the most. I plan to transfer him to you so that he can take care of you and our child every day.”
The other imperial physicians in the Imperial Medical Bureau were all the Emperor’s men and dared not act recklessly. However, Imperial Physician Li was a recognized divine physician; otherwise, he would not have been able to sit in the position of head physician.
The others were still somewhat inferior to Imperial Physician Li.
Even if the Emperor didn’t mention it, Xu Lingyi would still bring up the matter of the imperial physician and would snatch the imperial physician from Gui Fei.
But now that the Emperor himself had spoken, Xu Lingyi nodded in agreement.
