Shen Miao clenched her fists and quickly let go. She said, “I’m not sure either.” “Quick, call the imperial physician over!” Empress Xiande stood up excitedly and called Nanny Tao. “Summon the imperial physician!”

Shen Miao looked at the tea on the table and was shocked.

She had been pregnant before, but she was not all that certain if her discomfort was a sign of pregnancy. She only thought that she had caught a cold, but now that she thought about it, she felt that her appetite had indeed become a little strange recently.

Shen Miao was actually excited. The word “child” was too far away for her. She was a little afraid that when the child came into the world, she would have to face the pain of losing her child because she might not be strong enough to protect them well. On the other hand, she yearned for the child to come.

If the child really came, it would be the best gift from the heavens in her life.

The imperial physician quickly rushed over. Empress Xiande looked even more excited than Shen Miao and asked the imperial physician to take Shen Miao’s pulse immediately.

The white-bearded imperial physician took Shen Miao’s pulse and pondered for a long time before standing up. He bowed to Shen Miao and then to Empress Xiande. He smiled and said, “Congratulations, Princess Consort. I’m afraid you’ve been pregnant for more than a month.”

Shen Miao was still in disbelief. She asked, “Really?”

It was rare for Empress Xiande to see Shen Miao having such a strong reaction. She chuckled and pretended to be serious. “Princess Consort is asking you if it’s true. If you make a mistake, you will be severely punished!”

The white-bearded imperial physician smiled and said, “I don’t dare to lie. If Your Highness doesn’t believe me, you can summon other imperial physicians over to take a look.”

Shen Miao said seriously, “Alright, then I’ll have to trouble you to invite them over.”

The imperial physician was stunned.

Empress Xiande was overjoyed. She knew that Shen Miao found it unbelievable and insisted on confirming it again and again. However, when she was pregnant back then, she was also in disbelief. At the thought of her miscarriage, her eyes darkened. Then, she quickly came back to her senses and smiled. “Do as Princess Consort says. Go and invite a few more imperial physicians over.”

The results were the same. Shen Miao was indeed more than a month pregnant.

This was really a coincidence. Just as Xie Jingxing left, Shen Miao was pregnant. Now, when she was alone, she would probably not be so lonely. Or perhaps, she would be even more lonely.

Empress Xiande was overjoyed. In the entire royal family, there were only two brothers, Emperor Yong Le and Xie Jingxing. Emperor Yong Le did not have a child, and the Xie family did not have any juniors. The one Shen Miao was pregnant with was considered the first junior of the Xie family. Empress Xiande asked someone to invite Emperor Yong Le over.

When Emperor Yong Le found out about this, he was also in disbelief. Empress

Xiande smiled and said, “In the future, won’t it be very interesting if a little boy or girl calls you Uncle and me Aunt?”

“What’s so interesting?” Emperor Yong Le was a little awkward. He really did not like Shen Miao very much because Shen Miao even had an argument with Xie Jingxing. He was afraid that Shen Miao would be a femme fatale.

“You.” Empress Xiande glanced at him. “This is a joyous thing for the royal family. If Princess Consort could give birth to a few more children in the future.

it’ll be lively.” There was a hint of envy in her eyes. Clearly, Empress Xiande liked children very much..
