Chapter 213 Heartless and Cold-Hearted Emperor × Little Palace Maid 24
Two months later
"Ugh..." Chu Yue was having her meal and was just about to drink some soup when she felt nauseous and vomited.
Xiao Tao and Fang Cao were startled: "Your Highness, what's wrong?"
It took Chu Yue a while to recover. She breathed weakly, "I feel nauseous..."
“Why would I feel nauseous? The servants have checked the food; there can't be anything wrong…” Fangcao paused, a possibility forming in her mind: “Your Highness, are you… perhaps…”
Xiao Tao also realized this; she had been paying close attention to Chu Yue's health.
"Your Majesty, your period this month... is quite late," Xiao Tao said with delight.
Chu Yue smiled weakly and nodded: "It should be..."
"Your Majesty, this servant will go and summon the imperial physician," Xiao Tao said, and was about to run out.
"Xiao Tao, wait a moment." Chu Yue called out to her, "I want to wait for His Majesty to come along."
Xiao Tao and Fang Cao smiled at the same time. His Majesty was more eager for the Empress to be pregnant than anyone else. This news should be told to His Majesty first.
"His Majesty is probably very happy about this." Fangcao fed Chuyue some warm water.
"That's right, His Majesty loves our Empress the most." Xiao Tao was overjoyed; she was going to have another little master.
Chu Yue felt a little better. She wiped her mouth and said, "Let's go to His Majesty's place."
"Your Majesty, please slow down."
Xiao Tao and Fang Cao carefully supported her, looking extremely serious.
Changqing Palace
"Your Majesty, take a break. You've been looking at books all morning," Xiao Dezi whispered a reminder.
The emperor kept his head down and remained silent, his hands never stopping.
"Your Majesty, Consort Jin has arrived," a palace servant announced from outside.
The emperor paused, looked up at Xiao Dezi, and wondered what he had just heard.
“Your Majesty, Consort Jin has arrived,” Xiao Dezi immediately repeated.
The emperor frowned and looked at Xiao Dezi. Xiao Dezi immediately understood and ran out. How could he let Consort Jin wait outside?
Xiao Dezi led Chu Yue in, then retreated outside.
The emperor put down the memorial and said, "My beloved concubine, come here."
Chu Yue walked towards him: "Your Majesty, why don't you rest for a while before looking at it again?"
The emperor originally wanted to finish his business quickly so he could go and be with her, but he didn't expect that there would be so many things to do that he couldn't finish them all in a short time.
Consort Jin has come looking for us.
"I've been quite busy. Have you had lunch yet?" I didn't have time to have lunch with her, so I don't know if she ate.
Chu Yue nodded: "I used some. Your Majesty is not here, so I have no appetite."
"My beloved concubine, you have such a sweet tongue, you know how to coax me the best." The emperor was pleased by her words, and the corners of his mouth turned up.
"What I said is true. It would be better if Your Majesty were with me." Chu Yue said very seriously.
The emperor pulled her close and placed her on his lap: "Did you miss me?"
Chu Yue nodded again.
This surprised the emperor; he had never seen someone so clingy before.
They never come to see him normally, saying they're afraid of disturbing him while he's working.
So usually it was the emperor who would visit her, and after finishing his busy work, he would want to spend more time with her.
This is quite unusual today.
"I'll be done with my work soon and will definitely spend more time with you." The emperor was very pleased with Chu Yue's clinginess.
Chu Yue nestled in his arms, gentle and obedient.
The emperor kissed her forehead and cheek tenderly: "My beloved concubine, what's wrong today? Are you feeling unwell?"
"Your Majesty... I feel unwell here." Chu Yue gently touched her chest.
The emperor paused, realizing he hadn't touched her much last night, fearing her delicate body might cause her to cry out in pain.
"Are you feeling very unwell?" the Emperor asked softly. "Shall I have the imperial physician take a look?"
"it is good……"
The emperor was even more puzzled. His Consort Jin had agreed to let the imperial physician examine her?
That's quite unusual...
"Someone, summon the imperial physician." The emperor was still worried about her health.
"Yes, Your Majesty..." Xiao Dezi was puzzled. Why was the imperial physician summoned?
"Your Majesty, have I disturbed you?" Chu Yue asked softly.
The emperor smiled indulgently: "No, I'm very happy."
We usually hope she'll come and keep us company, but she's very rule-abiding and afraid of making any mistakes.
The emperor knew she was very cautious, so he cherished her even more. If she didn't come, he would finish his work early and go to her.
Before they could finish speaking, the imperial physician had already arrived.
Just as she was about to kneel down to pay her respects, the emperor stopped her: "Let Consort Jin take a look."
The emperor led Chu Yue to a couch, putting one arm around her waist and the other around her wrist, indicating to the imperial physician to take her pulse.
The imperial physician glanced at her and said that Consort Jin did not seem to be in any danger.
"Take a good look and see how Consort Jin is feeling." The Emperor felt that he hadn't been putting much pressure on Consort Jin, and she didn't seem to be unwell at all.
This is the first time I've seen her so gentle and clingy today.
The imperial physician took Chu Yue's pulse and looked at her with some surprise. Chu Yue's lips curled up slightly, and the physician knew what she meant.
It turns out it was meant to be a surprise for His Majesty.
The imperial physician withdrew his hand and knelt respectfully: "Your Majesty, Consort Jin is pregnant. She has been pregnant for over a month, the fetus is healthy, and Consort Jin is also in good health."
The emperor tightened his grip on Chu Yue's waist, freezing in place. He swallowed hard, "Is Consort Jin pregnant?"
"Yes, Your Majesty."
The emperor looked at Chu Yue and saw her smiling face. Only then did he realize that this tormenting beauty had terrified him.
"Go back."
"Your subject takes his leave..."
Chu Yue nestled against the emperor: "Your Majesty..."
"I am very happy, my beloved concubine. I'm afraid you'll have to work hard again." After the last time, he dared not mention the child.
"I am not tired, Your Majesty is happy."
The emperor stopped dealing with memorials; with such a joyous occasion, who would bother with those annoying things?
He immediately took Chu Yue back to Tanghua Palace.
He took care of everything, big and small, and even took over the chores that Xiao Tao and Fang Cao had to do.
The two could only stand awkwardly to the side, watching over Chu Yue.
Perhaps it was a stroke of luck, but this time, Chu Yue felt no discomfort and was able to eat.
Their weak bodies have recovered somewhat.
Ruanruan is almost a year old, a very active age, but Chu Yue is pregnant and can't hold her whenever she wants.
The little girl was still sobbing pitifully, and Chu Yue's heart was breaking.
It took the emperor a long time to calm her down after he picked her up and comforted her.
"Your Majesty, Ruanruan is so young, I'm so sorry for her." Chu Yue was pregnant and her mind was more sensitive.
The emperor had to appease both the young and the older child, and the older child was pregnant with another young one. It was a bittersweet experience.
"I will spend more time with her. When you want to spend time with her, be sure to tell me, so that she doesn't cause trouble."
"The concubine knows."
"You're pregnant, so don't have any wild thoughts. I know you love Ruanruan very much, and Ruanruan knows that too."
The emperor was afraid that she might misunderstand and harm her health again.
Chu Yue smiled gently: "Your Majesty, don't worry, I know."
"That's for the best."
"When Ruan Ruan wakes up in a little while, I will accompany you to see her."
Her belly isn't showing yet, so it's okay to hug her a little.
"Thank you, Your Majesty..."
"it is good."
