Chapter 62

After Wu Min Jun left, He Chen, the TaiFu was put in charge of handling matters. As for me, not much has changed except that every time I eavesdrop on the news from the battlefield. I was eventually caught by He Chen, I was embarrassed and said that I will not come again in the future, but He Chen said that when he gets the reports he will send the information to me in the future.

He Chen is very sensible, I am very satisfied. So, every time a report comes in, He Chen will send someone to pass me a letter - in order to avoid arousing rumors, he cannot enter the inner palace.

What makes me happy is that Wu Min Jun's speculation is correct, Nanyuan does not have as powerful an army as they publicized and they are almost at the point of retreating, probably Wu Min Jun can return faster than expected.

Pingyang exclaimed with surprise: "You actually embroidered two mandarin ducks, it actually resembles it"

I modestly said: "it's alright, it's alright."

Actually, I was trying to embroider a Qilin.

**(Qilin is a mythical creature, like the Phoenix and dragon, how hers looked like 2 ducks is a wonder)**

The next day, I tried to embroider the two mandarin ducks, halfway through embroidering, I suddenly felt unwell so Pingyang sent someone to get an Imperial doctor

The next day, I tried to embroider the two mandarin ducks, halfway through embroidering, I suddenly felt unwell so Pingyang sent someone to get an Imperial doctor. Bai Taiyi, the best of the Imperial physicians came over, he took my pulse, then stroked his beard, then bowed: "Congratulations to the empress, you are pregnant with the dragon seed...I am glad to inform you."

**(Taiyi means Imperial doctor)**

I: "..."

Pingyang is elated: "Great, royal sister-in-law, you are pregnant! When royal brother returns, he will certainly be very happy!"

I was still stunned, my head was confused and I could only nod and say: "Ah, yes..."

By the next day, the news of the empress being pregnant had quickly spread. I don't know if Wu Min Jun would have heard the news by now in the border town. I hope he knows, but I am also afraid that after he hears it, it will affect him.

I am pregnant but Pingyang is more excited than me, pulling me every day, telling the servants to cook this and that, her own belly is getting bigger every day. I see LuLu at her side is getting more anxious, but she doesn't seem to care too much.

Pingyang: "I don't matter now, my fetus has now stabilized, but for you, the first 3 months are the most dangerous time, you have to be very careful - your martial arts practice, make sure to stop it."

Pingyang continued: "Speaking of it, if you have a girl, and I have a boy..."

I said without words: "Well, what?"

Pingyang embarrassed said: "They can't get married..."

I: "... Yes, certainly not!"

Pingyang said: "They will be brother and sister, then if I have a girl, you have a boy, then it'll be a younger brother..."

I: "Thank you for your reminder! I really didn't know... "

Pingyang: "... Oh, you're welcome."

I: "..." -_-)'

I underestimated Pingyang, she is really Wu Min Jun's sister, how could her skin be thin?...

**(LOL Pingyang's trying to play matchmaker)**

After being pregnant, I had a secret idea in my heart, but Wu Min Jun has not come back, so it will not be good to make a move, so I just have to sit patiently.

Bai Taiyi gave me a lot of medicine for the fetus, I also showed him the book that Situ had given me. One day while I was idle, I asked him about the contents of the book: "Doctor Bai, since you have been given me medicine to protect the fetus, why do I always think your prescription is short one thing? Is it not necessary to add plantain?"

Bai Taiyi smiled, the red mole on his ear moved with it: "That's not the case, the plantain is something that is added after six months of pregnancy. It is not necessary now."

I said: "Oh, that's it."

After that, I didn't look at the book Situ gave me, but the contents are firmly ingrained in my mind.

Because of the pregnancy, I can only rest inside the palace. I can't even go out the doors, as soon as I want to step out, I will be stopped by Bai Taiyi and several other palace maids with worried faces, as if the person pregnant is not me, but them.

The scope of my activities is limited to the inner palace, as for outside affairs I can only know when He Chen sends news about the war reports.

Originally, I thought it would take at least three months more for Wu Min Jun to come back, but beyond my expectation, it only took him one month and he came back very secretly - normally, according to his personality, since it is a big victory, he would show off his might to the four countries, get on the city platform and announce: "We destroyed them!"

But on the day he came back, he only informed He Chen, one person and then two of them sneakily came to see me.

He Chen smiled and said to me: "The emperor has triumphantly returned!"

Wu Min Jun stepped out like a student stepping on the stage, followed by a bodyguard, but Wu Min Jun's face is cold, extremely cold with a hint of disgust as if he does not know me or like I am the same as his enemy.

Then I realized I was mistaken.

Wu Min Jun is not alone, and he is not only with He Chen and a guard...

He brought Liu Ya.

I saw Liu Ya and was a little confused and said: "Congratulations to the emperor for returning triumphantly. It is just that, what is Miss Liu here for?"

"Miss Liu?" Wu Min Jun coldly said, "I am afraid you will have to change your form of address."

"Change? "I groaned and said, "To what, young master Liu?"

Liu Ya; "..."

Wu Min Jun: "..."

"No." Wu Min Jun said, "It should be empress."

I: "..."

"What do you mean?" I was dumbfounded. "I should call her empress?!"

Wu Min Jun nodded, and Liu Ya at his side shyly said: "Many thanks to the emperor."

This is really ridiculous, just a while ago, Wu Min Jun deliberately dug a trap and let Liu Ya fall in cold water, and before that, he personally kicked Liu Ya into the Lotus Pond.

Now that he has returned from the war, he is telling me, he wants to marry Liu Ya as his empress?!

I couldn't help but ask: "Emperor...chenqie has only one thing to ask."

**(Chenqie is a form of address used by royal wives to refer to themselves when speaking to elders or their husband)**

Wu Min Jun coldly responded: "Then ask."

"Emperor, did you hurt your brain during the war?" I am very certain and confident of this.

Wu Min Jun: "..."
