"Forget it! Some things are destined, and there's nothing I can do about it." The Queen Mother looked helpless. Her children and grandchildren have their own blessings, and she couldn't care less.

"There's nothing wrong with the Queen Mother thinking this way," the nanny said in a deep voice.

More than a month later

That day, when Zheng Xiyan was having breakfast alone, she suddenly felt dizzy and a little nauseous.

"Empress, what's wrong with you?" Biluo noticed that she was unwell and asked with some concern.

"I feel a little dizzy." Zheng Xiyan put down her chopsticks, rubbed her eyebrows gently, and her eyes showed fatigue.

Zi Rui immediately stepped forward, quickly took her hand, checked her pulse, and said with joy: "Congratulations, Madam, you are pregnant, and it has been one month."

"Really?" Zheng Xiyan was shocked. She had never been able to get pregnant in her previous life, but now, less than two months after her wedding, she is pregnant.

Zi Luo then stepped forward and also felt her pulse, saying, "It is absolutely true. Congratulations, Your Majesty."

Shuang Ning and Bi Luo were both delighted. Shuang Ning said, "My Lady, this is a great happy event. I will send someone to tell His Majesty right away."

"Wait." Zheng Xiyan's voice suddenly came coldly, and her face immediately darkened.

Biluo quickly pulled Shuang Ning back. Shuang Ning looked puzzled, "What's wrong?"

"Just a few of you need to know about this matter, and don't spread it out." Zheng Xiyan said coldly.

"Why is this?" Shuang Ning asked.

In her previous life, Xiao Xuanchen did not allow her to give birth to his child. Now that she is pregnant, with his cruel temper, he might do something secretly.

"It's only been one month, and the fetus is unstable. We shouldn't make it public." Zheng Xiyan's face became increasingly gloomy. She had to be careful in everything and not make any mistakes.

"My slave understands."

Zheng Xiyan gently stroked her belly and was very much looking forward to the child. This was her child and had nothing to do with Xiao Xuanchen. No matter what happened in the future, she would do her best to protect him.

That night, when Xiao Xuanchen was about to get close to her, Zheng Xiyan pushed him away, "Your Majesty."

"What's wrong?" Xiao Xuanchen asked.

"I am not feeling well today and cannot serve Your Majesty." Zheng Xiyan declined with a smile.

"What's wrong with you? Where do you feel uncomfortable?" Xiao Xuanchen asked immediately.

Zheng Xiyan blushed and whispered, "It's nothing. My period has come. I can't sleep with you for the time being."

Zheng Xiyan even complained a few times deliberately, "I don't know what happened, it's ahead of schedule."

Xiao Xuanchen's face changed slightly. He guessed that it might be because of the contraceptive soup, so he did not force her. He also felt a little guilty.

"Okay! Then you should rest well for a few days, and I won't touch you." Xiao Xuanchen touched her face intimately.

"Thank you, Your Majesty. I cannot sleep with Your Majesty. Why don't you summon the beauty who served Your Majesty before?" Zheng Xiyan was eager for him to leave.

"Are you going to chase me away now?" Xiao Xuanchen asked back. There was obviously nothing wrong with it, but he was a little angry.

Also, these past few days, he didn't know why. He always felt that Zheng Xiyan seemed to have changed, but he couldn't tell where she had changed. He always felt that she was strange, and sometimes the way she looked at him was strange and unnatural.

"That's not what I meant, it's just..." Zheng Xiyan lowered her eyes, trying to find an excuse to get away with it.

"I won't go anywhere these days. I'll just stay with you, okay?" Xiao Xuanchen hugged her in his arms.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Zheng Xiyan leaned in his arms with a sharp look in her eyes.

At the morning court the next day, Xiao Xuanchen issued an order to select a beauty to enrich the harem.

Zheng Xiyan was having breakfast when she learned about this. Ningshuang heard the letter and hurried to tell her, "Queen, His Majesty has just issued an order to select a beauty."

Zheng Xiyan looked calm. It was also at this time in his previous life that he issued an order for a talent show, and it began a month later.

"Why are you so excited?" Zheng Xiyan didn't seem to care much, and there was no change in the expression on her face.

"Why isn't your Majesty in a hurry at all?" Ningshuang asked carefully.

"Why should I be in such a hurry? It will come sooner or later anyway. It doesn't make any difference if it comes earlier or later."

Ningshuang stood aside, and Biluo said, "The queen has her own plans in mind, we just listen to her."

Zheng Xiyan continued to drink the porridge with relish. She already had a plan in mind. The talent show would be in about a month. So on the day of the talent show, she would announce the good news of her pregnancy and give him a surprise?

After Xiao Xuanchen finished his morning court session, he went directly to Weiyang Palace. He knew that she already knew that he had issued an edict to select a beauty, so he came to comfort her.

"Xi Yan, I had no choice but to issue the decree for a beauty contest. I promise you, there will only be you in my heart." Xiao Xuanchen held her hand, placed her hand on his heart, and looked at her lovingly.

Zheng Xiyan felt like vomiting when she saw his hypocritical look, but she could only hold it in and said magnanimously, "Your Majesty, there is no need to be like this. You are the emperor, and there must be new people in the harem. As the queen, I should be magnanimous."

A trace of discomfort flashed across Xiao Xuanchen's face. He always felt that something was strange. Didn't she care at all?

Xiao Xuanchen said affectionately: "I'm sorry for wronging you."

"I don't feel wronged at all. As long as Your Majesty has me in his heart, I won't feel wronged no matter what I do." Zheng Xiyan curled the corners of her mouth, pretending to be affectionate, and watched him continue acting.

Xiao Xuanchen put his arm around her waist guiltily, and Zheng Xiyan leaned into his arms calmly, "Even if they enter the palace, no one will threaten your position."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Zheng Xiyan did not resist him that night, but she did not let him do whatever he wanted. She put her hands on his chest and said, "Your Majesty, you must not indulge in women. You are a wise ruler."

Xiao Xuanchen was completely defeated and said, "You don't think you can get rid of me like this, do you?"

"Your Majesty! I have been feeling unwell these past few days and have always felt weak all over. Please be considerate of me! Okay?"

"Why are you feeling unwell? Do you want to ask the imperial physician to take a look?" Xiao Xuanchen stopped and asked nervously.

Zheng Xiyan said: "Your Majesty, you are so shameless. It is because of your lack of self-control these days that I am so tired. Can you let me rest for a few days?"

Zheng Xiyan hooked her arms around his neck and kept acting coquettishly.

Seeing her like this, Xiao Xuanchen finally softened his heart and agreed, "Okay! I will let you go tonight."

"Concubine, thank you Your Majesty."

Zheng Xiyan heard the steady breathing sound coming from her ear, turned over with a look of disgust, and fell asleep with her back to him. She stroked her belly and thought to herself, "Child, you must be a prince, and your mother will hand over this kingdom to you."
