Chapter 67: Pregnancy
"Your Highness, what are you doing here?" Shen Tingnian embroidered a handkerchief to cover his lips, blocking his breath, and looked at him with a pair of watery eyes.
Pu Yangxu raised his hand, and Xu Xian withdrew with everyone, leaving only Feng Yuantou.
"You've been sick for more than a month, how can I rest assured," Pu Yangxu helped her sit back on the soft chair, "Today, I have to ask the imperial doctor to consult you." β
Shen Tingnian pinched the handkerchief and coughed, and hid his other hand in his wide sleeve, "The concubine is fine, there is no need to work as an imperial doctor, just rest and recuperate." β
Pu Yangxu saw that she hid her hand firmly, and her voice became more and more gentle: "The head of Feng Yuan is here, let him take a look." β
While grabbing her hand without showing a trace, Shen Tingnian shook it twice without shaking it off, a little angry: "I said don't go to the doctor-"
However, the more she made trouble, the more she did not cooperate, the more Pu Yangxu believed that she was really hiding her pregnancy, and coaxed patiently for a long time before she reluctantly let Feng Yuan probe her first pulse.
He stood beside Shen Tingnian, waiting for the results of the pulse.
"Your Highness Qiyu, Shen Jieyu is a slippery vein."
Imperial Physician Feng withdrew his hand through the silk scarf, trembling violently when he got up, and his saluting movements were a little unstable, is this a happy event...... Does he want to say congratulations to His Highness?
Slippery pulse, that is, there is indeed joy.
"Are you careful?" Pu Yangxu's tone was a little high.
"Thisβis indeed a happy pulse."
Imperial Physician Feng is also an old female doctor, and it should be impossible to make a mistake in diagnosing a happy pulse, so Pu Yangxu asked casually, and Imperial Physician Feng is so sure, naturally he can't be wrong.
He squeezed Shen Tingnian's hand tightly, all his emotions were hidden in the depths of his calm eyes, only showing a gentle smile, Shen Tingnian looked up at him, as if it was difficult to say a thousand words, his eyes were moist, and he didn't see joy.
Pu Yangxu stroked her side face, bent down slightly, and covered her face with a breath, and finally spit out the truth: "Shen Tingnian, I'm very happy, do you understand?" β
Shen Tingnian blinked, the tears that had been stored for a long time slipped suddenly, she seemed to swallow all the grievances back, but in the end she revealed some flaws, her pale and beautiful face, showing fragility and helplessness for the first time, it was almost poking Pu Yangxu's heart - he hurriedly wiped her tears, lowered his voice and coaxed: "What are you crying about, my heart will break when you cry." I heard from them that you are still sick all the time...... I rearranged someone to serve me. β
People who have always only talked bastards in the bed tent have also begun to talk rhetorically, sure enough, men's words, women's tears, there are words, Shen Tingnian buried his head on his chest, sobbing softly.
She didn't need to explain more, Pu Yangxu believed in her sincerity again, and a woman's willingness to give birth to a child for you is the best proof.
Shen Tingnian knew very early on that it was not enough to just rely on a face, and he had to attack his heart. Even though she is smart and scheming, she is as ignorant as a child.
Since ancient times, many heroes and sons and daughters have bent their waists for love and sacrificed their lives for love...... There is no stronger bond in this world than to control one's heart.
If you want to get it, you must give it first.
For a man like Pu Yangxu, who is more indifferent than ordinary people, when he knows that a woman loves him, he will feel more or less happy, this is human nature, and it is also the affirmation of self-charm, and the stronger the person, the more he needs this affirmation. Even if this woman is something he doesn't love, I'm afraid it is worth two points, because it can satisfy his desire for control and can also be used. Shu Youlian is a good example, this woman is obsessed with love, has lost herself, and is blind, and she can't see through the most difficult thing to survive in this palace.
Shen Tingnian has always been well disguised, but a thrill in Lanbao Lake has made her efforts in vain in the past few years, and she needs a new opportunity to make him believe again that Shen Tingnian, a woman, loves him.
Fortunately, she seized the opportunity and took advantage of Pu Yangxu's abandonment of Wei Chuyun, saying that it is up to people to make things happen, since it is God's will, how can she not fulfill it?
Shen Tingnian thought a lot and speculated a lot, and it was true.
When he woke up the next morning, Pu Yangxu was already wearing his outer robe, and he was stretching out his arms and the palace maid kneeling on the ground to arrange the hem of the robe. Seeing her wake up, Pu Yangxu said with a pleasant face: "You really slept deeply." β
"It's my fault." Shen Tingnian's words seemed to be resentful, which made the corners of Pu Yangxu's mouth show a little smile, he had to stay overnight last night, and he also asked people to move the fold, and criticized it until late at night, and Shen Tingnian, who was also delayed, did not sleep.
Shen Tingnian looked at the smile on the corner of his mouth, and lazily rubbed the quilt twice, this is a man, the more happy and proud you are, the more he spoils you.
Xu is her movements are like a lazy cat, the smile is too moving, Pu Yangxu suddenly came to the bed before leaving, leaned over and buckled the back of her head, and kissed her fiercely.
Shocked, the palace attendants in the room all took a deep breath, quickly lowered their heads, and made a stake-shaped, while Xu Yan's hand holding the crown and hat trembled, and he also lowered his head silently.

"Bang ......"
The cup shattered, the water splashed on the ground, and Zhao Jingyi, who was wearing a pleated skirt of smoke and green yarn, leaned on the collapse, she squinted at the ground, took a handkerchief to wipe her hands, and said calmly, "Your hand has slipped, clean it up." β
"Yes."
Zhao Huan hurriedly ordered someone to clean up, she carefully observed Zhao Jingyi's expression, she couldn't see joy or anger, she didn't think she was happy, after all, this Shen Jieyu was too good.
The greatest blessing of a woman in the palace is to be able to give birth to an heir, because in that way she can gain a firm foothold and not be afraid of wind and rain.
"The tree wants to move but the wind doesn't stop......" Zhao Jingyi slowly closed her eyes, her slightly thin body leaned sideways, and finally said something, Zhao Huan didn't hear clearly, looking at her calm face, a little helpless, the master is good at everything, but the body is not angry.
Now Emperor Kang An is in charge of the government, but due to his limited ability, many government orders are in chaos, Pu Yangxu has just finished the case of the household department deficit official embezzlement of ink, and many military affairs naturally have to follow the emperor to undertake a separate undertaking, there are already many affairs, and they have to bother to manage the Keju team who secretly picks and covets the position of the prince, not to mention how tired they are, people are always not easy.
He went down to the imperial study, because the emperor and the queen's bedroom were in the same place, so he was easily intercepted by the lieutenant sent by the queen.
Come to him at this time, what the queen wants to talk about is not an ordinary thing, Pu Yangxu wondered in his heart, what tricky things happened in the harem to discuss with him - could it be that the emperor is making something again?
So I didn't expect to enter the Kunning Palace on my head, as soon as I entered the main hall, I saw the queen sitting upright, flipping through a booklet, and there were palace maids in and out of the breakfast table, Pu Yangxu saluted first, stood up straight, and asked bluntly: "Queen Mother, I don't know what happened?" β
The queen waved her hand slightly, and the palace people retreated, and she said softly: "You sit down and have some breakfast first, and then you have to discuss with the minister, there are many state affairs, but the body is fundamental, and you can't be slack." β
Pu Yangxu used to accompany the queen for three meals, but later came into contact with state affairs, and became more and more busy, and rarely ate with the queen if he was not idle.
The two sat opposite each other and began to eat, Pu Yangxu was worried about things, he didn't have much appetite, so he used some simply, and put down the chopsticks.
When the queen also rinsed her mouth, she ordered to retreat left and right, and then she said with a faint expression, "You like the surname Shen so much?!" β
With just one sentence, Pu Yangxu knew the matter - whether it was King Cong or Shen Tingnian, it was all written in one stroke, and he wanted to use King Cong and spoil Shen Tingnian, and he was a little weak for a while, and he was busy saying: "No-"
Facing the queen's see-through eyes, Pu Yangxu turned his mouth, "Mother, I didn't expect her to be pregnant." β
"You didn't expect that?"
The queen slowed down her tone, and her momentum weakened, in the end, she was a son with the same heart and liver, and she softened her heart when she shouted to her mother, but in the end she was angry that he acted so unscrupulously, and said sarcastically: "Do you want to cultivate it, and the seeds will grow by themselves!" β
Pu Yangxu's face was suddenly hot, he has always only been praised when he is reprimanded, and the last time he was taught a lesson in his memory was because he was secretly fortunate to be Shen Tingnian, who was still a show girl.
Seeing that he was silent again, the queen sighed slightly, her son has made her worry free since he was a child, and it has also brought her supreme dignity and high status.
"If I don't want to block you, you have an heir, who can be happier than me." The queen spoke earnestly, reached out and held Pu Yangxu's hand, the mother and son have not had a heart-to-heart for a long time, she is not the kind of loving mother who talks about everything, more often than not, both soft and hard, "This matter is most taboo for the official to know, and then it will be a long mouth, and it is difficult to ......distinguish ten thousand words."
Pu Yangxu raised his eyebrows, and his tone was arrogant: "What I want to do, why not be afraid of people's words?" β
The queen was blocked by his words, and she nodded his head angrily, "You, when will you not look like a child." β
Having said that, the doting in his tone was not ambiguous, Pu Yangxu smiled, "In my mother's place, I will always be a child." β
"It's all the ones who want to be fathers...... the queen showed a soft smile, in the end, she didn't say anything more, what kind of character Pu Yangxu is, she knows best, once she makes a decision, she will not change, if she wants to keep the child in Shen Tingnian's belly, just keep it, originally she also planned to stay, Pu Yangxu has been married for more than three years, but nothing has come out, how can she not care.
It is best that Shen Tingnian can give birth smoothly this time, adding a great joy to the palace that has been silent for many years.
Out of Kunning Palace, Pu Yangxu was not busy going to the imperial study, but went to the imperial dining room first.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Princeβ"
Everyone inside and outside the imperial dining room was taken aback, and each raised their spirits to deal with it, but Pu Yangxu waved his hand to let them all disperse, and they were busy with their work, he personally picked a few things to eat in the dining room, instructed Chen Luo to put them on, and walked out in great strides, and took a shortcut back to the East Palace.
I can't help but say that Pu Yangxu is still very authoritative, he only went this time, and the imperial dining room opened a special channel to provide special meals for the East Palace.
