The following days seemed particularly peaceful, with nothing special happening inside or outside the palace, and in the blink of an eye it was the end of the year.

At this time, good news came from the Duke of Cheng's Mansion! The Crown Prince's Consort has been pregnant for three months!

When Xu Muhua heard the news in the East Palace, she flipped over and sat up from her bed, extremely surprised: "Really? My sister-in-law is really pregnant?"

Wu Er was delighted, "My Queen, it's true! According to the date, the Crown Prince's wife should have been conceived on the wedding night!"

Xu Muhua clapped his hands excitedly and blurted out, "I knew that with my elder brother's ability, he would definitely be able to hit the target with one strike!"

When Nanny Qi walked in and heard these words, her face turned dark.

"Miss!"

Listen to what he said, he is so outspoken, what would happen if someone heard it!

Xu Muhua was not afraid of Madam Qi, and asked in return: "Madam Qi, just tell me whether I am right or not? You also heard Wu'er say that the baby in my eldest sister-in-law's belly was probably conceived on the wedding night. Doesn't this prove that my eldest brother is amazing?"

Nanny Qi was furious. If she hadn't been concerned about her status, she really wanted to go up and knock her on the head!

She is a concubine of the Eastern Palace, she should be aware of her status! How can she say such words without blushing or breathing heavily?

"Madam Qi, hurry up and get ready. I want to give a gift to my sister-in-law!"

This is a great joy!

Besides that, there is another good thing!

The old lady of Duke Cheng's mansion was seriously ill before, and everyone thought that she would not survive this time. Didn't you see that Duke Cheng gave up his military power and stayed in the capital to show his filial piety?

But I never expected that the old lady was so stubborn! She just kept on holding on and refused to breathe a sigh of relief. Now she is gradually getting better!

Many people in the capital were privately amazed. They didn't expect that the old lady, who was so old and seriously ill, could come back to life!

Xu's mother even took people out with great fanfare to burn incense and fulfill a vow - oh, they didn't go to Xiangguo Temple, nor to any other famous temple, but to an obscure Taoist temple!

Xuanqing Temple!

Xu's mother said that when her mother-in-law was seriously ill, she went to Xuanqing Temple to make a wish and pray to the gods for protection and recovery of her mother-in-law.

Now that her mother-in-law has really recovered, of course she has to fulfill her wish!

When he went to fulfill his vow, the Crown Princess followed him up the mountain. When he arrived at Xuanqing Temple, he felt a little uncomfortable and asked the temple master to feel his pulse. The master diagnosed that the Crown Princess was pregnant!

He hurried down the mountain and returned home to ask a doctor to come over, who confirmed that the Crown Prince's wife was pregnant. According to the time, she must have been conceived on the night of the wedding.

Now everyone in Duke Cheng’s mansion is celebrating!

Xu Muhua was in the East Palace, so naturally he was slow to receive the news.

Speaking of this, Nanny Qi was also very happy, "Don't worry, Madam. I have already prepared everything. They are all things to keep the baby safe. There are food, clothes, and other useful things. They have all been checked. They can be sent back to the Duke Cheng's Mansion at any time."

The Eastern Palace certainly had no shortage of these things, after all, the Crown Princess was already quite pregnant. Not to mention that the imperial physician had already felt the pulse and determined that the baby in the Crown Princess' belly was a boy!

This is even more precious! Not to mention the Eastern Palace, the entire imperial palace is closely following the Crown Princess. The Queen and even the Emperor would send people to question her from time to time, fearing that something might have gone wrong with the baby in the Crown Princess' belly.

"Madam, I am very confident in your work. You can personally take people to deliver the things back and tell my sister-in-law to rest assured and take care of the baby. If there is anything, please send a letter to the East Palace."

Nanny Qi shook her head in amusement and didn't remind her.

Now that the Duke's Mansion has a mistress and a master, why does the queen need to worry? Duke Cheng is the pillar of stability. With him, everyone in the Duke's Mansion feels that they have someone to rely on. There is no need to rely on a room full of women and children like before.

Instead of worrying about this, Your Majesty, you might as well think about it carefully and get pregnant with a child as soon as possible.

When she thought of this, Aunt Qi became worried.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince stays in Yichun Palace for a few days every month, so why hasn't the Queen gotten pregnant yet? Is it so difficult for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to get pregnant?

Thinking that the Crown Princess had to wait a long time before she got pregnant, Nanny Qi had to suppress her anxiety and pray in her heart that her own queen would get pregnant soon. No matter if it was a boy or a girl, it would be good to have one, because she would be a princess in the future. With a son or daughter, her life would be more stable in the future.

Madam Qi had no idea that every time the prince came to Yichun Palace, he and Xu Muhua were very distinct from each other. Even when they asked for water, it was just to pretend so that people would not suspect and realize that they were acting.

Just do the whole show.

So at first Madam Qi was worried that she would not sleep with him because of her relationship with Pei Shaorong, but she was relieved later. Who knew there was such a hidden story? She also didn't expect that the prince was so devoted to the princess and was willing to play with Xu Muhua.

Knowing that his sister-in-law was pregnant, Xu Muhua was extremely happy at the thought that he would have a nephew or niece in a few months.

At this point, the Chengguo Mansion should not end up like in the book with the family broken up and everyone dead, right?

When she was reading the book, she remembered that the ending was that the heroine and the hero gave birth to a child. Doesn't this mean that the story will soon reach the finale?

I don't know why, but Xu Muhua always felt that things seemed to go too smoothly after he came here. So smoothly that it made people suspicious.

The excitement caused by his sister-in-law's suspicion calmed down when he thought about this matter.

Xu Muhua shrank back into the bed.

Just as I was thinking deeply, a familiar crow flew in through the window, shook off the snow on its body, and jumped straight to the fireplace to warm itself by the fire.

"Yaya, why are you here? It's cold today, you should find a warm place to avoid the cold!"

"It's okay, I'm fine! I came here to give you a message. The news of your sister-in-law's pregnancy has spread to the palace."

Xu Muhua was not surprised by this. "I have received it. The palace should have received it as well. So, is the emperor very surprised or shocked?"

The crow nodded.

Yes, the emperor broke another paperweight!

Of course, that was all private. Apart from the emperor and his close servants, only Xu Muhua knew about it. Who made her little intelligence agent keep an eye on the emperor every day? She almost told Xu Muhua the frequency and time of the emperor's toilet breaks!

Although the emperor was annoyed that the Crown Prince's wife got pregnant so quickly, he still had to save face and immediately asked the Queen to give her something as a reward.

Xu Muhua nodded, thinking that the emperor's love of face was actually a good thing.
