"Your humble servant congratulates the Queen and congratulates the Queen on her pregnancy. After so many years, your long-cherished wish has finally come true." Jiang Yebin confirmed that his judgment was correct, and he immediately smiled and knelt down to congratulate her.

"Great! I congratulate the Empress on her pregnancy. This child has arrived just in time. I will report this to the Emperor. Fortunately, no serious mistakes were made today. I truly deserve death. If I had hurt the Empress's baby in the slightest, how could I possibly live in this world?"

Yan Wan immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and after saying that, she hurried to report the good news to the emperor.

Ruyi ignored Yanwan's words. She was stunned by the sudden good news. She sat in a daze on the chair, her hand unconsciously touching her belly. She couldn't believe it was true, and she couldn't believe that she was pregnant with a living being.

"What? The Queen is pregnant? Great! I've waited for years, and finally I have another legitimate child. Concubine Ling, thanks to you, we were able to discover the Queen's pregnancy in time. If you hadn't comforted the Queen in time, and she had continued kneeling in front of the palace, the consequences would have been unimaginable."

The emperor was overjoyed and was about to go visit, but just as he was about to step out of the palace, he stopped abruptly.

"The Empress is blessed with a long life, but the servants around her are too careless. They saw the Empress kneeling and did not stop her. What if they hurt the dragon fetus in her belly? The Empress did not mean to contradict you. The Empress was impatient during her pregnancy, so she offended the Emperor..."

Seeing this, Yan Wan stepped forward to support him and tried to please the emperor. Seeing that he wanted to visit the queen, Yan Wan took the initiative to give him a way out.

"Your Majesty has the world in his heart, so he's naturally tolerant and won't argue with a pregnant woman. I'll accompany you to visit the Empress. It's getting late, so Your Majesty will go back with the Empress for dinner. We can talk things over and everything will be fine."

"You are right. I will never let go of the servant who brought this matter to the Queen. The Queen is impatient during her pregnancy, so she was so rude today. I will punish those servants severely. Fortunately, you stopped the Queen today. I will reward you handsomely."

After hearing her advice, the emperor suddenly understood and headed for the side hall. The anger in his heart was completely washed away by the arrival of his legitimate son.

Cao Yi's predictions about the celestial phenomena had come true many times, so he firmly believed that the Empress was pregnant with a prince. The death of Empress Xiaoxian's two legitimate sons had always been a pain in his heart, and now that Ruyi was going to give him another legitimate son, how could he not be ecstatic?

Yan Wan supported him on the side, glanced at Jin Zhong beside her, and smiled: "This is all my duty. Everything I do is for the emperor. As long as the emperor is happy, I am happy. I dare not ask for any reward."

"I understand your intentions. Don't worry, I will treat you well. You have been doing a great job recently. Now that the Queen is pregnant, you and Concubine Chun will handle the palace affairs together. You have been taught by Queen Fucha, so this will give you some experience. Secondly, I will feel more at ease leaving the matter to you." Hearing her say this, the Emperor softened his heart a little and patted her hand, signaling her to rest assured.

"It is my blessing to be able to share the emperor's worries."

Seeing this, Yan Wan did not refuse and took it with a smile.

Ruyi was still immersed in the joy of her pregnancy. She had served the emperor since he came to the palace, and her only regret was that she could not conceive because she had always worn the bracelet with Linglingxiang. The palace had a constant stream of new brides, and seeing them all pregnant was of course jealous. Now, her wish was finally fulfilled.

"Your Majesty, we can finally get what we wish for." Seeing the emperor come in, Ruyi's eyes were already wet with tears. She murmured, and for a moment she didn't know what to do.

She had already forgotten the scene of the two of them confronting each other and neither of them giving in. She only wanted to share the good news with the person beside her.

"That's great, Queen. After so many years of anticipation, we finally have a child. Don't worry, I won't take today's events to heart. You're really something! How could you not even know you were pregnant? Thankfully, Concubine Ling was thoughtful enough to persuade you to get up, and even asked Imperial Physician Jiang to examine you. If you had continued kneeling and hurt the baby in your belly, it would have been disastrous!"

The emperor sat down beside Ruyi, held her hand tightly, and looked at her pregnant belly with his heart filled with joy, without any sign of dissatisfaction.

Hearing him say this, Ruyi's face froze. She didn't have time to retract her smile, but just replied woodenly: "It's my fault. I don't know why I was so impatient today."

"I've heard that women tend to be irritable during pregnancy, perhaps because they're pregnant. Your Majesty, rest assured. The Emperor is kind and generous, and won't take it to heart."

The Emperor glanced at Yan Wan, agreeing with her words. He then looked at Ruyi's belly with anticipation. "Yes, Queen, there's no need to dwell on it. Let's let today's events pass. You're pregnant now and need to be taken care of. Imperial Concubine Jia is still under house arrest, and the affairs of the six palaces will be handed over to Imperial Concubine Chun and Imperial Concubine Ling. You, just rest assured and take care of your baby. I'm waiting for you to give me a little prince."

"I thank you, Your Majesty."

The emperor has made up his mind, and even if Ruyi is dissatisfied, he can only keep quiet.

"I thank the emperor for his kindness. I will work hard to manage the harem and live up to the emperor's kindness to me." When Yan Wan heard the emperor mention her, she bowed quickly.

Ruyi's face flickered with displeasure when she heard the Emperor had asked Concubine Chun and Concubine Ling to manage the six palaces. But things had come to this point, and she couldn't change the Emperor's mind. She had indeed lost her composure in today's incident and let Concubine Ling take advantage of her for nothing.

I'm afraid that Concubine Ling's status in the emperor's heart has now reached a higher level.

"Rong Pei, I have a few gifts for you. Please go with Jin Zhong to the Yangxin Palace. Queen, I will accompany you back to the Yikun Palace. I will have dinner with you later. I remember that it has been a long time since I have dined with you. I will ask the imperial kitchen to prepare a few more of your favorite dishes."

The emperor glanced at Rong Pei with no expression on his face. He took Ruyi's hand and wanted to go to Yiku Palace together.

"Yes, slaves follow the order."

Rong Pei had a bad thought in her mind and was confused. In the past, the rewards were delivered by people from the Yangxin Palace, so why did they ask her to go and get them today?

It was a pity that Ruyi was so immersed in her joy that she didn't notice anything was wrong. Seeing that the emperor still cared about accompanying her for dinner, Ruyi felt warm in her heart: "Then I would like to thank the emperor on behalf of the child in my belly."

Rong Pei retreated silently, and the emperor turned his head to look at Jinzhong.

Jinzhong understood and immediately left the side hall.

"Eunuch Jinzhong, what does the Emperor want to reward the Empress?"

Jinzhong casually glanced at Taohong's figure in the side hall, turned his head to look at Rong Pei who was confused, and a playful smile flashed across his face.

He stared straight ahead at the endless blue sky and replied leisurely, "What is it? Aunt Rong Pei will know when she follows us to the Yangxin Palace."
