Chapter 484: Queen Zhang is pregnant
Li Zhang and Empress Dowager Li were chatting in the garden, but unexpectedly Zhao Zhen ran over regardless of his image, and even looked a little crazy. To put it bluntly, Zhao Zhen is now smiling like a fool.
"Hurry up, don't fall!" Empress Dowager Li hurriedly stepped forward to support him and said with some concern when she saw Zhao Zhen running. Although Zhao Zhen is already an adult, she will always be a child who never grows up in her heart.
"Mother, great...a great joy, queen...her..." Zhao Zhen was also out of breath at this time, and he was anxious. As a result, the more anxious he was, the more he couldn't say it, and his face turned red.
"Your Majesty, let's talk slowly, what's wrong with the queen?" Empress Dowager Li asked while patting Zhao Zhen on the back and helping him to calm down. As she said, she used her other hand to wipe the sweat all over Zhao Zhen's head with her heartache. Only her biological mother would do these things. At least Liu E had never done these to Zhao Zhen.
"Queen... Queen is pregnant!" Zhao Zhen took a few breaths again, and finally told the grand event he was about to say in a breath.
"What!" Empress Dowager Li was shocked when she heard this news. Her handkerchief that was wiping Zhao Zhen's sweat also fell down. She had just asked Li Zhang about Zhao Zhen's physical condition, but in the blink of an eye, the news that the queen was pregnant came, which made her a little unbelievable, and even doubted whether she was dreaming.
"I'm really pregnant. The queen was a little uncomfortable just now, so she asked the imperial doctor to treat her. She found out that she was pregnant!" Zhao Zhen shouted again with ecstasy face, and after that, she burst into laughter again, as if she wanted everyone in the world to know about this matter immediately.
"Hurry! Take me to see!" Empress Dowager Li suddenly lost her attitude when she heard this. She immediately pulled Zhao Zhen and ran to the inner palace. Li Zhang was afraid that she would fall, so she could only support her. As for Zhao Zhen, she was just giggling at this time, and ran faster than anyone else along the way.
Li Zhang can understand Zhao Zhen’s current mood more than anyone else. After all, Zhao Zhen has been under too much pressure for his offspring over the years, especially compared to ordinary men, he has raised countless concubines in the palace. This was originally something that most men envied, but later it became evidence to prove that Zhao Zhen was useless. For this reason, Zhao Zhen also complained to Li Zhang countless times, and even secretly wiped tears.
However, with Empress Zhang's pregnancy, Zhao Zhen's pressure was wiped out, and he could even be proud. No matter whether Empress Zhang gave birth to a child or a daughter this time, it was not very important to Zhao Zhen, because it at least proved that his health was fine. With the first one, there would naturally be a second one and a third one...
The Kunning Hall where the queen lives was also in a joyous atmosphere. Empress Zhang was sitting on the soft couch, and the palace maids around her were sending red envelopes to the palace people. After learning about her pregnancy from the imperial doctor, Empress Zhang immediately sent someone to notify Zhao Zhen, and then gave a great reward to everyone in the palace. As for the people in her palace, she even had additional red envelopes. After all, as Zhao Zhen's wife, she also knew better the significance of this child to the Song Dynasty.
At this moment, Zhao Zhen was the first to rush in. When he saw Queen Zhang, he immediately rushed forward and shouted, "Empress, do we really have children? What do the imperial doctor say, how are your health?"
Looking at Zhao Zhen’s rash look, Queen Zhang couldn’t help but smile, and then asked someone to help her stand up and greet him: “Don’t worry, Your Majesty, the imperial doctor said that I am in good health, but because the time is too short, I can’t feel the joy at the moment.”
While talking, Empress Li was supported by Li Zhang and walked in quickly. When she saw Empress Zhang, Empress Li immediately stepped forward to ask about her well-being. Empress Zhang also smiled and answered one by one. In fact, she was not pregnant for a long time, at most only two or three months. She also had some doubts before, but she had not been pregnant in the palace for so many years, so she was a little unbelievable at the beginning. Until today, after the imperial doctor confirmed, she sent someone to notify Zhao Zhen.
"The queen sits down quickly. You must be more careful after having a child, especially in the first three months. You must pay attention to your health. If you have anything you want to eat during this period, just ask Shangshiguan to prepare it. However, you must also listen to the advice of the imperial doctor. Some things cannot be eaten, but they cannot even touch them, otherwise it may affect the child..."
After the operation, Li personally helped Queen Zhang sit down, and then he gave a series of advice, even Zhao Zhen next to him was out of touch. At this time, Li Zhang pulled Zhao Zhen to the side and gave a few words, and he also had to pay attention to the first three months of pregnancy. After all, for pregnant women, they need to pay attention to their health in the first three and the last three months, especially in the first three months, if you are not careful, you may be at risk of miscarriage. Queen Zhang is the first child again, and the risk of miscarriage is even greater.
Zhao Zhen also remembered Li Zhang's advice one by one, and then thought of something. He said again with joy on his face: "Cousin, is this matter to be announced to the world and let the people have fun with me?"
"It must be announced to the world, but..." Li Zhang nodded at first, but then hesitated to something, and said hesitantly, "But the day after tomorrow is the day when the empress dowager is buried. If the grand wedding of the queen's pregnancy is reported at this time, it may not be appropriate."
At this moment, Zhao Zhen suddenly remembered the day after tomorrow that he wanted to send Liu E to the imperial tomb for burial the day after tomorrow, which made him slammed his head: "I was so happy that I was confused. I actually forgot about this. Since that's the case, then wait until the eldest lady was buried before announcing this matter!"
Li Zhang nodded in agreement when he heard this. He had previously guessed that the reason why Zhao Zhen could not have a child was a psychological principle. Now it seems that this is true. As soon as Liu E died, Zhao Zhen also took the power. As a result, Empress Zhang was pregnant soon. It is estimated that it will not take long before news of other concubines being pregnant in the palace.
However, Li Zhang soon became a little worried, because in the original history, Zhao Zhen had not had a son, but the son he gave birth to could not grow up, which was almost the same as his father Zhao Heng.
Li Zhang speculated that Zhao Zhen's child died too much, which may be related to the heavy metal poisoning provided by Shui Yuanzi. The set of gold tableware is now hidden in the treasury and strictly prohibited from being used. It is said that Zhao Zhen's child should not be as short-lived as in history, but these are Li Zhang's own speculations. It is not impossible to die if it is caused by other reasons.
