“Yao Yao, I’m about to be a father.” Yin Huaixi pulled his beloved woman into his arms and buried his face in her neck. He said in a hoarse voice, “I’m about to be a father…”

Yu Youyao felt that the skin on her neck was a little wet. Her eyes couldn’t help but turn red, and tears flashed in them. “Yes, you’re going to be a father. I’m going to be a mother too.”

She had been in the palace for three years and had not given birth. The imperial physician had checked her body and said that she was in good health. It was just that this matter depended on fate, so she couldn’t help but feel a little uncomfortable.

However, in order to suppress the criticism of the previous dynasty, Yin Huaixi blamed all the mistakes on himself and announced to the public, “In my life, I’ve killed too many people and harmed the harmony of the heavens. This is the punishment of the heavens.” 𝚏ree𝚠𝚎𝐛nove𝚕.com

As soon as these words were spoken, it shocked the royal court. The court officials knelt on the ground in fear and trepidation, not daring to mention the matter of children wantonly anymore. At the same time, it also attracted many hidden speculations. They guessed that the emperor had injured his body and his children because of the war.

However, there were still court officials who reported new matters from time to time.

They felt that if the emperor couldn’t have children with her, it was not impossible for him to have children with other women.

Yin Huaixi suppressed them one by one.

Yin Huaixi had to bear the pressure alone.

Yu Youyao was touched, but her heart ached for him. At this moment, she finally understood the choice of Empress Mingxian back then. However, she was not Empress Mingxian, so she could not do what she had done.

Yin Huaixi was not Emperor Xianzong. He did not secretly want to find someone from the direct line of descent of the Yin Clan and bring her into the palace.

If Yin Huaixi could do this for her, what else could she be dissatisfied with?

She had a very unique personality since she was young. She would never tolerate others touching what belonged to her.

She thought she’d let it go.

She also thought that Yin Huaixi did not care.

However, when Imperial Physician Hu announced that she was pregnant, he was excited from the bottom of his heart. When he thought about how her body had a little fellow whose blood was related to her and Yin Huaixi, and that this little fellow was growing, there was an indescribable feeling of gratitude and anticipation.

Yu Youyao hugged Yin Huaixi’s neck and said softly, “I’m so happy. I’m really happy.”

“Me too.” Yin Huaixi kissed her hair and carefully placed her on the bed. “It’s a kind of bond, a bond that can no longer be cut off from you.”

Yu Youyao leaned into Yin Huaixi’s arms, feeling unprecedentedly calm. “I’m pregnant. Shouldn’t the court officials stop?”

A trace of coldness flashed across Yin Huaixi’s eyes. “What has it got to do with them whether you’re pregnant or not? Don’t worry too much. If it weren’t for the fact that you kept persuading me to kill less and stop beating them up with sticks, tying them up at the entrance of the Meridian Gate, and letting the ministers go to court to watch the punishment every day, they would have been obedient. How could I have let you suffer so much?”

Yu Youyao punched him in the chest. “Did you damage your brain during the war? Why do you always think of killing people? Civil servants don’t get punished for remonstrating. If you play such a big game of chess and kill civil servants, in the future, who will dare to speak bluntly in the court and remonstrate with the truth? The Imperial Court is the emperor’s eyes and ears. In the long run, your ears will be blocked and you won’t be able to see. How can you govern the country and manage the government? Besides, it’s common for them to send reports. It doesn’t justify killing them. If you kill them, I’ll definitely have to bear the infamy of causing trouble.”

She did not know what was wrong with him. He was usually quite smart.However, whenever he encountered something related to her, he would think of killing them. To a general, it was simple to raise a knife and slash it down, but what about the consequences?

Yin Huaixi knew that he was in the wrong, so he did not dare to provoke her anymore. He quickly changed the topic. “It’s said that you cannot reveal your pregnancy for three months. We can only tell outsiders after the pregnancy is stable. Let’s cover this matter for the time being.”

Yu Youyao couldn’t help but laugh. “As the emperor, you have the protection of a true dragon. Why do you still believe in this?”

“Since that’s the case, there must be a reason.” Yin Huaixi placed his hand on her flat abdomen, his heart filled with warmth. “If you believe it, there’s a reason. If you don’t, there’s nothing.”

Yu Youyao nodded. “Okay.”

Yin Huaixi lowered his head and kissed her hair. “I’ll summon Auntie Xu into the palace later. Your pregnancy is a big deal. I’m worried without Auntie Xu taking care of you.”

Auntie Xu had been staying in the Eldest Princess’s residence to recuperate.

Yu Youyao also felt that she would be more at ease with Auntie Xu by her side.

The two of them rambled on, as if they had endless things to say.

Yin Huaixi continued, “What name do you think our child should have in the future?”

“It’s still too early for the child to be born. How can you come up with a name in such a hurry?” Yu Youyao looked at him coquettishly, her tone not sounding coquettish at all. “I wonder if it’s a boy or a girl.”

Yin Huaixi looked disapproving and slammed the table. “Prepare the names of the boys and girls together. The imperial family is particular about names. It’s time to prepare.”

Seeing that he was happy, Yu Youyao let him be.

Yin Huaixi said softly, “I’m very happy too.”

Although he was a little dissatisfied that the arrival of this child would take up a lot of Yu Youyao’s time and energy, he could still reluctantly accept the fact that he had many government affairs to deal with every day, and that this child would be by Yu Youyao’s side when he couldn’t accompany her.

However, it was only limited to when he was not in the Chenggan Palace.

The next day, Auntie Xu was summoned into the palace.

After all, she was an old palace servant who had been in the palace for a long time. As soon as Auntie Xu entered the palace, she gathered all the palace servants in the Chenggan Palace and tidied up the entire palace inside and out. She picked out any spices, items, or items that were unfavorable to nourish the baby.

Auntie Xu stroked her hair gently. “Don’t enter the incense room again during this period of time. You’re familiar with medicinal properties and fragrance. If you’re bored while recuperating, get someone to pick some spices and medicinal herbs that can help you nourish the baby to pass the time.”

Yu Youyao quickly agreed.

Auntie Xu asked her about her appetite.

Yu Youyao frowned. “It was better before, but ever since I found out yesterday that I was pregnant, I’ve vomited everything I ate. I can’t eat anything I used to like, especially meat.”

“Don’t worry, it’s normal for your sense of taste to change drastically after pregnancy.” Auntie Xu personally went to the small kitchen and made a few dishes according to the empress’s taste. In addition, she prepared some sweet and sour soup.

Yu Youyao really liked it and ate a lot.

When Yin Huaixi found out about this, he couldn’t even care less about the memorials piled up in the Hall of Diligent Governance. He quickly returned to the Chenggan Palace to accompany Yu Youyao. Eunuch Zhu had no choice but to send the memorials into the Chenggan Palace.

After moving into the Eldest Princess’s residence, the Hall of Diligent Governance moved into the Chenggan Palace.

After her appetite improved, Yu Youyao’s thin flesh grew back. The child did not disturb her much and she did not have any serious morning sickness reactions.

Auntie Xu smiled and said, “This child is here to repay her kindness. Consort, you’re so lucky.”
