Chapter 219: Madam Hou is finally pregnant
After Jiang Yimo and Feng Wuhen entered the palace, they went their separate ways. Feng Wuhen went straight to the main hall of the palace to meet the emperor, while Jiang Yimo was led by the maids in Concubine Xian's palace to the Glazed Palace.
However, before she stepped into the glazed palace, Jiang Yimo heard bursts of laughter coming from inside the palace.
Apparently there was more than just Concubine Xian in the palace, and there seemed to be a familiar voice as well.
The voice seemed to come from the wife of Marquis Jingming.
Thinking of this, Jiang Yimo's eyes lit up, her pace quickened, and she couldn't wait to walk into the hall.
The moment she stepped into the palace, she saw Lady Jingming Hou sitting next to Empress Xian. Both of them had bright smiles on their faces, as if they were discussing some pleasant topic.
Jiang Yimo walked up to Empress Xian with light steps, bowed slightly, and performed a standard salute to her.
Empress Xian and Lady Hou, who were originally talking, turned their heads at the same time when they heard the voice, and their eyes were attracted by Jiang Yimo.
"Momo, you're here at last! Come quickly and sit next to me. I and the Marquis have a great news to tell you." Empress Xian said to Jiang Yimo with a smile on her face.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yimo first greeted the Marquis' wife, and then walked to the right of Concubine Xian and sat down. The Marquis' wife sat on the left of Concubine Xian.
As soon as she sat down, Jiang Yimo couldn't hold back her curiosity and asked with an expectant smile, "Madam, Madam Hou, what kind of happy event is this? Why is it so mysterious?"
"Hehe, speaking of this happy event, it's all thanks to you!" Empress Xian said with a smile, followed by another burst of hearty laughter.
After hearing this, the marquis' wife lowered her head shyly, with a blush on her cheeks.
Jiang Yimo looked at the two people in front of her who were so happy, and her heart was moved, as if she had guessed something. She raised her lips slightly and asked softly: "Seeing you are so happy, I guess this happy event is related to the Marquis' wife, right? Is the Marquis' wife pregnant?"
As soon as the words fell, Empress Xian could not wait to nod and reply: "That's right! Hen'er's aunt is finally pregnant!"
When Empress Xian mentioned this, her face was filled with unconcealable joy.
As her only biological brother, Marquis Jingming has always been her concern over the years.
She was especially anxious when she learned that her younger brother and sister-in-law had been married for many years but still had no children.
She knew very well the importance of passing on the family line to a family, and was afraid that the Jingming Marquis would have no descendants.
However, Marquis Jingming was deeply in love with his wife and devoted to her. He was determined to stick to this relationship even if it meant not wanting children, let alone allowing him to take a concubine and have children.
Faced with such a situation, although Empress Xian, as the elder sister, was anxious, she could not interfere too much.
After all, everyone has their own choices and persistence. She could only pray silently, hoping that God would bless them and give them a child as soon as possible.
Now, she finally got the good news, how could she not be ecstatic?
When Jiang Yimo learned that Madam Hou was pregnant, she could not help but feel happy. She was really happy for Madam Hou and hurried to congratulate her.
"Madam Hou, this is such great news! Your long-cherished wish has finally come true." Jiang Yimo said with a smile on her face.
Madam Hou responded with tears of gratitude: "Miss Jiang, thank you so much! If it weren't for your miraculous healing, my husband and I would never have a child of our own in this lifetime. We will never forget this kindness."
Jiang Yimo shook her head gently and said with a smile, "Madam Hou, you are too kind. All this is due to fate and is also a blessing for you and the Marquis. I am also honored to witness this beautiful moment. I hope the baby will be born healthy and safe, and bring you more happiness and joy."
After saying this, her eyes revealed sincere blessings.
"Yes! Sister-in-law, you are not alone now, you must be extra careful. Especially in the first three months of pregnancy, your emotions cannot fluctuate too much, neither too happy nor too sad."
"If you feel uncomfortable anywhere, don't delay and go see a doctor right away. Of course, if you don't trust the doctors outside, you can also ask Momo to help you."
"Don't be fooled by her young age. Her medical skills are quite impressive. She is much better than those ordinary doctors outside and even the imperial doctors in the palace."
After Empress Xian finished her earnest instructions, she paused for a moment, then turned her gaze to Jiang Yimo again, with a hint of a smile on her face, and asked softly, "Momo, is this arrangement okay for you?"
Jiang Yimo smiled and said, "My Lady, how could that be?"
After that, she smiled and looked at Madam Hou: "Madam Hou, if you have confidence in my medical skills, if you feel uncomfortable, just come to me. If I am still in the imperial city, I will come to you as soon as possible."
Jiang Yimo's words were like a breeze that blew away the worries of Concubine Xian and Lady Jingming, making them like her even more.
Afterwards, the three of them continued to chat leisurely, and the topics became more extensive and in-depth. From poetry and songs to the philosophy of life, to court anecdotes and folk rumors... Time seemed to stand still at this moment, with only laughter lingering in the ears.
Just as the three were talking enthusiastically, Concubine Xian and Marquis Jingming's wife's eyes fell on Jiang Yimo's clothes at the same time.
Madam Hou looked at Jiang Yimo carefully, and even reached out to touch her skirt, and said with a smile:
"Momo was just busy talking about pregnancy and actually strayed off topic!"
"Let's take a look at the purple dress you are wearing today and the dazzling peacock gold hairpin on your head - they are a perfect match!
"This lavender dress is not only bright in color and soft in texture, but also exudes a noble and elegant air; and the peacock gold hairpin attracts everyone's attention with its exquisite craftsmanship and unique design, just like a vivid peacock spreading its wings and preparing to dance."
"You look stunningly beautiful dressed like this~"
Hearing the Marquis's wife praising her so highly, Jiang Yimo's fair and delicate face instantly flushed with shyness, as tempting as a ripe apple.
She said softly, "Madam Hou, you are too kind. This outfit was actually bought by the evil prince."
Upon hearing this, the Marquis’ wife couldn’t help but burst into laughter: “Haha, Madam, it seems that the boy has finally come to his senses and knows how to please girls!”
Concubine Xian also showed a happy expression, nodded and agreed, "That's right! I have been worried before, afraid that Hen'er would be lonely for the rest of his life. Now that I see how sweet he is with Miss Jiang, I am relieved."
At this moment, Empress Xian looked at the beautiful Jiang Yimo in front of her with great joy, her eyes full of admiration and love. Jiang Yimo, on the other hand, lowered her eyebrows and smiled faintly, feeling a little embarrassed.
