Ye Yutong glanced at the time, and there was still more than an hour before going to court.
She lay on the bed again, but she couldn't fall asleep despite tossing and turning. Instead, she became more and more energetic.
I rolled around on the bed a few times and suddenly felt like eating Xiao Long Bao.
She got up energetically, washed herself casually and went to the kitchen.
Mix the noodles first and then start preparing the fillings.
The maids sleeping in the east wing heard the jumping sound and were so frightened that they immediately got up from the bed.
Suzuran put on some clothes casually, picked up her sword and went to the main room. Behind her were Suzuki Suzugiku and others.
When they walked to the kitchen and saw Ye Yutong chopping meat, they breathed a sigh of relief.
"Mother, why did you get up so early?"
Ye Yutong smiled and said: "I got up because I couldn't sleep. It's still early. You can go and rest for a while."
Linglan washed her hands, took the knife from Ye Yutong's hand and said, "My dear, you go and have a rest. We will cook the meal later."
Suzutake and Suzuki also started to put away other dishes.
A few people were busy but not in a hurry, and the steamed dumplings were steamed in the pot in a short time.
Seeing them working in an orderly manner, Ye Yutong had no choice but to leave the kitchen.
It's just nine o'clock now and it's still dark.
She stood in the courtyard, looked at the sky, and said to herself, "I wonder where Ping An is now?"
When the aroma came from the kitchen, Ye Yutong's stomach tumbled again.
She was now very sure that she was definitely pregnant.
When several maids brought the rice, Ye Yutong asked Linglan to help her find out her pulse.
Four of her eight maids are skilled in medicine, which they learned from Dr. Lei when they were in the mountains.
Doctor Lei is now the envoy of Tai Hospital. This time Li Yunze went south, and Ye Yutong asked him to follow him.
Ling Lan put her hand on Ye Yutong's pulse, and soon looked at her in surprise, "My dear, it's Ximai. It's been more than a month."
Several maids heard this and knelt down to congratulate her.
Ye Yutong immediately put his finger on his lips, "It's still early days, so don't publicize it for the time being. Wait until three months later."
"Yes, concubine."
Ye Yutong thought for a while and then ordered: "Let the Taiyuan Hospital come over this afternoon to take a pulse."
Although this matter must be kept confidential, it must go through the Tai Hospital.
Ping An is not in the palace. If she announces her pregnancy in a few months, people with evil intentions may pour dirty water on her.
This dynasty was too feudal. Even if she didn't think about herself, she still had to take care of her parents, two brothers, safety, and the child in her belly.
Linglan said respectfully: "It's my concubine. I will send someone to ask for the imperial doctor after you go to court."
Ye Yutong felt sick to his stomach at first, but after eating a small steamed bun, his appetite increased.
She ate six steamed dumplings, two bowls of porridge, and a lot of side dishes.
After the meal, the girls began to help her comb her hair and change her clothes.
When it was almost time to go to court, she slowly walked into the Jinluan Palace.
"The Queen has arrived."
All the ministers knelt down and saluted, "My queen is a thousand years old."
After Ye Yutong sat down, he raised his hand slightly and said, "Sit down."
Nothing important happened today, so Liu Bu finished his routine report as usual.
Seeing that all the ministers were standing there and saying nothing, they must have nothing to say.
Li Yutong was about to announce his resignation from the court, when the consort of Princess Hedonism stood up, holding a stack of books in his hand.
"I would like to inform you that this is the ring that the princess copied. She has realized her mistake. I hope that your Majesty will be magnanimous and forgive her this time."
Ye Yutong curled his lips, Ping An just left the capital yesterday, and this person came to test her today.
Do you think she is easier to talk to than Ping An? Or do you think it’s hard for her to refuse?
She stared at the man standing in the middle and said calmly: "My consort, these words are serious."
"Normally, there are some things that I shouldn't say. Although the princess is the elder of me and the emperor, she is the royal daughter, and every word she speaks is related to the royal family's face.
The punishment this time was ordered by the Emperor himself. Even I dare not resist the order. My consort, it is better not to embarrass me and wait until the Emperor comes back. "
The prince-in-law's face changed slightly after hearing this. He didn't expect the Queen to be so disrespectful.
He glanced at the young prince-consort beside him and saw him shaking his head slightly. He immediately put away the expression on his face and said respectfully: "What the Queen said is true, but I didn't think carefully."
Ye Yutong nodded slightly, and Linglan shouted: "If you have something to do, you will start to play, if there is nothing to do, you will retreat."
Seeing that no one was speaking below, Ye Yutong said: "Retreat from the court."
After Ye Yutong left, the ministers left the Jinluan Palace one after another.
Ye Mingxuan and Ye Mingzhe stood there without moving.
Zhang's two thousand people greeted them and went out with the ministers.
Zhang Erqian was transferred to the capital two days ago and now serves in the Ministry of Household Affairs.
As soon as Ye Yutong changed clothes, Ye Mingxuan and Ye Mingzhe came.
"Eldest brother, second brother, you two came just in time, please help me approve those folds."
Ye Mingzhe shook his head, "Sister, our handwriting is different from yours, and those ministers discovered it. When the censor has something to say, you'd better work harder and read it yourself."
"It's okay. Don't approve it on the memorial. Just get a piece of paper and write it down. I'll copy it down later."
Ye Yutong felt very uncomfortable in his stomach now and really didn't have the energy to read that big pile of discounts.
Seeing that she was not in good spirits, Ye Mingxuan asked worriedly: Sister, are you feeling unwell? "
Ye Yutong nodded and told his two brothers about Youxi.
Both brothers were stunned by the news.
My brother-in-law just went south yesterday, and my sister found out that she is pregnant today. What should I do?
"Eldest brother, second brother, Ping An is going to fight. I don't want to distract him. I plan to hide this matter and wait until three months to announce it."
Ye Mingxuan and Ye Mingzhe looked at each other and felt that this was the only way to go now, they couldn't let their brother-in-law come back now.
Ye Mingxuan asked: "Sister, does the hospital know about your pregnancy?"
Ye Yutong smiled and shook his head, "I don't know yet. I'll ask the imperial doctor to come over and take my pulse in the afternoon. I'll give you some advice then."
Seeing that she had thought about everything, the brothers didn't ask any more questions.
Ye Mingzhe was already sitting behind the desk helping her read the memorial.
Ye Mingxuan thought for a while and said, "Sister, why don't you let me come into the palace to accompany you? Ping An is not here, and it's very lonely for you to be alone."
Ye Yutong said happily: "Okay, it just so happens that I miss my mother too."
"Then I will send my mother over this afternoon."
With his two brothers helping to read the memorial, Ye Yutong felt much more relaxed.
She only needs to take a rough look at it and give some instructions.
After finishing reading the large pile of memorials, Ye Mingzhe smiled and gossiped with her again, "Sister, I heard that Han Chengyu, the second son of Pingyuan Marquis Mansion, is making peace with his wife."
"Who wants to leave? Lin Meiyun?"
Ye Mingzhe said: "I heard that his wife was making trouble, saying that he spoiled his concubines and destroyed his wife. She also said that Pingyuan Marquis Mansion had no rules and took a concubine to Han Chengyu before she was married."
Ye Yutong didn't find it strange. Lin Meiyun was the direct daughter of the Yongping Marquis Mansion.
If Marquis Yongping hadn't died accidentally two years ago, she wouldn't have been wronged in the Marquis of Pingyuan for so many years.
Now her two brothers have been put in important positions by Ping An, and the second brother has followed her to the south this time.
If you don't want to be with Han Chengyu, then now is the right time to propose a divorce.
Ye Yutong smiled and asked: "I'm afraid Pingyuan Houfu won't agree so easily, right?"
Ye Mingzhe gloated: "I heard that Han Chengyu agreed, but Mrs. Hou objected. There has been a fuss these past two days, and now the whole capital is watching the excitement of their family."
Ye Yutong sneered, "You will reap the consequences. If you had known now, why bother in the beginning."
Ye Mingxuan checked the approved memorial and said to Ye Yutong: "Sister, let's go back first. I will send my mother over in the afternoon."
Ye Yutong persuaded them to stay, "Eldest brother, second brother, let's go after dinner. We haven't had dinner together for a long time. We don't have anything to do today. We just want to sit together and talk."
"Okay." The brothers smiled and nodded.
Ye Mingzhe said: "Sister, I will make whatever you want to eat."
"Second brother, you don't need to do anything. Linglan is cooking today. Her cooking skills are no worse than yours."
"Really? Then my eldest brother and I are in for a treat today." Ye Mingzhe was a little surprised.
He only knew that Suzulan was good at martial arts and her most powerful was medical skills, but he didn't expect that she was also so good at cooking.
She is truly an all-rounder, worthy of being my sister’s most capable maid.
Suzulan's cooking skills are really good, and she can make eight delicious dishes in half an hour.
Ye Yutong gave each of his two brothers a chicken drumstick and whispered:
"Brother, second brother, please pay more attention to what's going on in the capital during this period, and keep an eye on Prime Minister Zuo's group. Ping'an and I suspect that he is a member of King Pingnan."
Ye Mingxuan said solemnly: "Don't worry, sister, your second brother and I have already made arrangements for things outside the palace. You can take good care of the baby now and leave the rest to us."
Ye Mingzhe also whispered: "When my sister gave those lists to me and my eldest brother last time, we had already made arrangements.
Now their every move is under our surveillance. My brother-in-law at Xishan Barracks left behind an army of 80,000 people.
Since last night, extra manpower has been deployed outside the palace, so my sister doesn't have to worry about this. "
Ye Yutong nodded with peace of mind.
With her two brothers helping her plan, it really saved her a lot of trouble.
In the afternoon, the imperial doctor checked Ye Yutong's pulse, and Li Wenxiu came into the palace shortly afterwards.
It was not until more than two months later that everyone knew that the Queen was pregnant, and she had been pregnant for more than three months.
At this time, Li Yunze had also led an army to attack King Pingnan's lair.
