Concubine Gao had never expected that she would be pregnant at this time.

"But...but I have been having my period." That's why she has been feeling a little stomach upset recently. She had never thought about it in this direction. She originally wanted to ask the imperial physician, but all the imperial physicians in the Imperial Hospital were busy with one thing, which was that Emperor Qianlong had been having trouble sleeping recently, and everyone was developing a sleeping-aid drug.

The imperial physician stood up, looking calm, "Your Highness, this is something that happens to women after they get pregnant. I've checked your pulse and both mother and child are fine. There's nothing serious. As long as you pay more attention to your diet and take a moderate walk every day, you'll be fine."

Concubine Gao's health had been poor before, and she had never been pregnant. Everyone in the Imperial Hospital took turns to check Concubine Gao's pulse, but at this point, Concubine Gao's condition was not that serious.

But pregnancy also depends on luck.

Concubine Gao felt a little more at ease and said hurriedly, "Please give me a prescription, Imperial Physician. I don't know anything about diet. Thank you, Imperial Physician Li." She didn't know how to describe Concubine Gao's current mood. She felt surprised and happy, but the joy was greater than the surprise.

"Yes. I'll go right away." Doctor Li bowed and left the main hall.

Seeing Concubine Gao's happy expression, Yu Suisui immediately smiled and congratulated her, "Congratulations, Sister Gao." This was definitely a great joy to Concubine Gao.

The Queen Mother was also happy, with wrinkles on the corners of her eyes. She smiled and said, "This is a happy occasion for you. I have a pair of safety locks that I accidentally found in my early years. The big one is for you, and the small one is for the baby in your belly."

It was a rare blessing that Gao was pregnant. She naturally knew that Concubine Gao had once been one of the concubines in the harem who had been hoping to have a child. Now her wish had come true, and at this time, it was a good result.

Now that the emperor's favor is gone, there must be a child in the harem, no matter whether it is a boy or a girl. With a child, there is a place to rely on, and the long time in the harem will have something to do.

Concubine Gao was still a little dazed and uncertain, thinking she was dreaming. Her hand unconsciously touched her lower abdomen, and there was not much change there. She had thought that she was getting old, so it was difficult to lose weight on her waist and abdomen.

Now that I think about it, it’s a good thing that she didn’t think about losing weight, otherwise, there would be no surprise today.

"Thank you, Queen Mother." There was a sparkling gleam in Concubine Gao's eyes. She wanted to cry a little, but she didn't dare to cry in front of the Queen Mother.

The Empress Dowager waved her hand and said, "This is a trivial matter. From now on, you should take good care of your pregnancy in the Old Summer Palace. You can come to pay your respects again after you give birth safely." It has been almost a year since the Empress Dowager began to get used to Concubine Gao coming to accompany her.

Before, she was there to help the emperor, but now that she had really been with Concubine Gao for a long time and knew her character, she was still afraid of her. But she thought that Concubine Gao was right to be afraid of her, after all, in Concubine Gao's eyes, she was not only the empress dowager, but also her mother-in-law.

The conflict between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law has always been difficult to resolve.

Concubine Gao bowed slightly and said, "Thank you, Queen Mother. When I give birth to my child, I will bring him here to eat and drink." The Queen Mother said this because she really cared about her. Concubine Gao was not a heartless person. She felt that she had thought too harshly of the Queen Mother in the past.

Before noon, everyone in the Old Summer Palace knew that Concubine Gao was pregnant and had already taken the baby.

The Queen was looking at the list of concubines and was a little surprised when she heard the news.
