This night, Yu Jingchen held Nan Ziyun and did not sleep, mostly due to happiness and surprise. Beyond that, he felt it was somewhat unreal; he and Yun'er actually had their own child?
Looking at the little girl sleeping soundly in his arms, his eyes softened considerably. Fortunately, fortunately, heaven had given him a chance to start over. Otherwise... he would have truly missed such a wonderful girl, and would have felt even more indebted to this little one who adored him with all her heart.
Fortunately... Yu Jingchen had never been so grateful to heaven at any moment. Fortunately, many things still had room for change.
The next morning.
Because of the Emperor and Empress's wedding, the imperial court was suspended for three days. Looking at the little girl still sleeping soundly in his arms, Yu Jingchen felt even more content.
He did not wake the little girl and got up himself. Since Nan Ziyun was pregnant, Yu Jingchen immediately began to caution the palace servants as soon as he got up.
The Fengyin Palace had been remodeled later. Yu Jingchen feared Nan Ziyun might not be accustomed to it, so all the arrangements inside were the same as those in the Hean Hall.
Early in the morning, Yu Jingchen began instructing the palace servants to redecorate the Fengyin Palace. The floors were covered with thick carpets, and all sharp objects inside the room were put away. The sharp corners of tables and chairs were also all wrapped up.
In addition, Yu Jingchen also instructed the imperial kitchen that Nan Ziyun's meals from then on would not come from there but would be prepared in the small kitchen of Fengyin Palace. He also asked the imperial physicians to check Nan Ziyun's pulse every morning and evening. He was treating her like a porcelain doll.
Yu Jingchen did not hide the news of Nan Ziyun's pregnancy, so everyone in the palace knew that the Empress was expecting. The Empress Dowager was no exception and sent many gifts.
Apart from the Empress Dowager's gifts, Yu Jingchen had all other gifts collected and did not let Nan Ziyun use them. Even the Empress Dowager's gifts were only kept after being examined by the imperial physician.
Originally, now that Nan Ziyun was the Empress, the consorts of the six palaces were supposed to pay their respects. However, considering Nan Ziyun's current condition and her personality, Yu Jingchen exempted her from the daily greetings.
They would only come on the first and fifteenth of each month, unless Nan Ziyun had other arrangements. Moreover, the time for greetings was all scheduled for the afternoon; there was no other way, as a little one needed to sleep in.
Yu Jingchen had made arrangements for every aspect, fearing he might have missed something. If any mishap were to occur, Yu Jingchen feared he would not be able to bear it.

Just as Yu Jingchen was wondering if he had forgotten anything, he heard the sound of a bell at his feet. Yu Jingchen frowned as he looked at Lingdang.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me. Lingdang has been rather boisterous lately and has disturbed Your Majesty," Jiang Ji followed.
Yu Jingchen looked at Jiang Ji. This person was also dangerous... as was this cat.
"Yun'er is pregnant and it's not suitable for her to keep pets. You..." Yu Jingchen was initially going to suggest taking the cat back to Yujin Garden, but thinking of Nan Ziyun's fondness for it, he changed his words: "You can take this cat back to the General's manor. Yun'er can also visit frequently and accompany the Old General Nan." Yu Jingchen said.
"Yes," Jiang Ji agreed.
"You go with him. You've raised this cat for so long, you must know its habits. So, you should also go to the General's manor together. You can return with the cat after Yun'er gives birth," Yu Jingchen added after some thought.
"...Yes," Jiang Ji was just stunned for a moment, but quickly agreed. Yu Jingchen was finally satisfied.
