Nan Zhiyuns was still reeling.
"Yun'er is going to be a mother..." Yu Jingchen suddenly felt it was somewhat unreal.
"Congratulations to His Majesty, congratulations to Her Majesty the Empress!" The palace servants also knelt and began to offer congratulations.
"Reward them, reward everyone!" Yu Jingchen was truly overjoyed now, unable to conceal his beaming smile. No one had ever seen Yu Jingchen laugh so heartily before; the former His Majesty had always been inscrutable in his actions.
"Your Majesty..." Nan Zhiyuns's mind was buzzing.
"Yes? I'm here, Yun'er has a little baby in her belly." Yu Jingchen's voice was tender, almost drowning her in affection. Nan Zhiyuns bit her lip, still finding it hard to believe this fact. How had she become pregnant?
"Yun'er, are you not happy?" Yu Jingchen asked, looking at Nan Zhiyuns's expression.
"No... it's just that it feels a bit unbelievable, so miraculous." Nan Zhiyuns placed her hand on her abdomen, "There's a little baby living in here, a little life..."
"Yes, there's a little baby there, it's Yun'er's and my baby. Will Yun'er like it?" Yu Jingchen's hand also covered hers.
"Mm, I like it..." Nan Zhiyuns nodded.
Yu Jingchen smiled, and at the same time, he felt a pang of tenderness. His dear Yun'er was still a child herself, and now they had their shared bloodline.
"Are there any precautions I need to take?" Yu Jingchen asked the imperial physician again.
"Reporting to Your Majesty, the fetus in Her Majesty the Empress's womb is not yet a month old, and the pulse does not reveal much. However, Her Majesty's constitution is naturally weaker, so she still needs proper rest. I will prescribe some medications to ensure a stable pregnancy for Her Majesty," the imperial physician said.
"Good. The child in the Empress's womb, I entrust to you. If anything goes wrong, I will hold the Imperial Medical Bureau accountable," Yu Jingchen said.
"Yes, Your Majesty. I will do my utmost to help Her Majesty stabilize the pregnancy and safely deliver the imperial heir." The imperial physician was also sweating profusely. Everyone knew the Empress's esteemed position, and now that there was an imperial heir, she would surely be doted on by His Majesty to the heavens.
"Tomorrow, I will have someone inform the Empress Dowager and my father-in-law of this news. It will make them happy too," Yu Jingchen said.
"That's wonderful. Father has been looking forward to holding his grandchild for a long time. His greatest wish is to have his children and grandchildren around him. He will be very happy this time," Nan Zhiyuns suddenly felt a sense of anticipation for the scene after the child's birth.
"He will be very happy. When we return home in a few days, I will accompany you. We will let him happily celebrate," Yu Jingchen's mind involuntarily recalled the words Nan Su had spoken to him in their first life after Nan Zhiyuns's death: "Although my humble servant's daughter has become His Majesty's concubine, she has not received His Majesty's favor for many years. Therefore, my humble servant wishes to bring her back to our old home. Yun'er is my humble servant's only daughter. For the rest of my life, I hope to have children and grandchildren around me, and for Yun'er to be by my side."
Now... he knew Yun'er was pregnant, he would surely be overjoyed.
"Mm, then Your Majesty should not tell Father tomorrow. In three days, when we visit home, I want to tell him personally. Is that okay?" Nan Zhiyuns was curious to see her father's reaction upon hearing about the child.
"Okay, everything is as Yun'er wishes. Yun'er is the most important now, whatever Yun'er says goes." Yu Jingchen's face was full of adoration.
