Chun Xiao ordered someone to prepare lunch.

As the imperial kitchen was a little far away, when the food was delivered, it was often almost completely cold. It was better in summer, but in winter, it had to be heated up again. The overheated food did not taste as good as before. Yu Youyao arranged a small kitchen in the Chengqian Palace and usually opened fire in the Chengqian Hall.

The imperial chefs in the imperial kitchen all took turns to work in the Chengqian Palace.

“You’ve lost a lot of weight. I got someone to prepare some nourishing medicinal cuisine.” During this period of time, Yu Youyao had not been in good spirits. She had been angry for a long time and had eaten less than before. The imperial chefs had done their best, but she still saw that she had lost weight.

Seeing that her palm-sized face had become much smaller, making her eyes look big and innocent, Yin Huaixi couldn’t help but pity her. He quickly took a small bowl, scooped a bowl of white jade sea cucumber soup, and placed it in front of Yu Youyao.

He lowered his eyes and couldn’t help but feel a killing intent.

It seemed that he had been too benevolent recently.

Yu Youyao picked up the white jade ginseng in the small bowl and took a bite before spitting it into the bowl. “Eh, what’s this strange smell? It’s fishy and smelly. It’s too disgusting. I’m not eating it. Hurry up and take it away…”

Seeing her disgusted expression, Chun Xiao quickly wanted to get some water, but Yin Huaixi was faster than her and quickly handed her the teacup. “Quickly rinse your mouth and press it down.”

Yu Youyao quickly rinsed her mouth. For a moment, she couldn’t suppress the nausea. She endured the churning in her stomach and looked very uncomfortable with a pale face.

“Are you still feeling unwell?” Yin Huaixi picked up the sea cucumber soup and sniffed it. There was a salty and fresh smell, but it wasn’t as fishy as she had said. He thought that her appetite wasn’t good for a moment, so he quickly scooped a bowl of porridge and handed it over. “Have some chicken porridge to suppress it.”

Yu Youyao lowered her head and sniffed. She quickly put the spoon back and said with a pale face, “This is also fishy. Which imperial chef is in charge today? Did he make sea cucumber soup without washing the pot, or did he forget to remove the fishy smell?”

“Let me try it.” Yin Huaixi took a sip of the shredded chicken porridge. The rice was soft and melted in his mouth. The shredded chicken was a little salty and fresh, but there was no fishy smell.

Could there be something wrong with his taste buds?

Yin Huaixi scooped another bowl of pork head soup. Unexpectedly, as soon as Yu Youyao took a sip, she vomited all over. Yin Huaixi was shocked. “Hurry up and call the imperial physician…”

After lunch, Yu Youyao was exhausted. After vomiting, her entire face turned pale and she lay weakly on the bed, her chest feeling suffocated.

Imperial Physician Hu sat outside the bed curtain and covered her wrist with a thin handkerchief. Under the emperor’s murderous gaze, his forehead was covered in cold sweat. After taking her pulse for a long time, he quickly knelt on the ground.

Yin Huaixi’s heart couldn’t help but sink. Before Imperial Physician Hu could speak, he asked impatiently, “How’s the Empress’s health? Tell me the truth.”

Imperial Physician Hu’s forehead was covered in sweat. He quickly said, “Congratulations, Your Majesty. It’s a joyous pulse. The Empress is already two months pregnant. Her pregnancy is very stable. She’s fine.”

Yu Youyao was completely dumbfounded and did not react for a moment.

Yin Huaixi was worried about Yu Youyao, so he didn’t listen to Imperial Physician Hu for a moment. He was furious. “She’s already vomited and can’t even eat. Are you telling me that she’s fine? Take the Empress’s pulse carefully again. She hasn’t been in good spirits recently, and her appetite has decreased a lot.” At this point, he looked at Imperial Physician Hu and said word by word, “Make yourself clear before talking.”

Imperial Physician Hu was so frightened that he trembled. He crawled up and returned to the bed uneasily to continue taking the Empress’s pulse.

Yin Huaixi stared at his hand. “Imperial Physician Hu, why is your hand trembling? Can you take her pulse like this?”

Imperial Physician Hu groaned inwardly. However, the emperor was staring at him. He couldn’t help but tremble!

Seeing that his hands were still trembling, Yin Huaixi frowned. Just as he was about to speak, Yu Youyao shouted back, “Shut up. Can’t you let him take my pulse?”

Yin Huaixi obediently shut up, but his eyes were still fixed on Imperial Physician Hu.

Yu Youyao shouted at him again, “Look away too.”

Yin Huaixi looked up at the sky reluctantly.

Imperial Physician Hu secretly wiped his sweat and composed himself. After a while, he knelt down and said, “Your Majesty, the Empress is indeed pregnant. During this period of time, the abnormalities in the Empress’s body are all caused by her pregnancy. During a woman’s pregnancy, not only will her sense of taste change, but her personality will also be different from before.”

Only then did Yu Youyao feel that it was a little more real, but she was still a little confused. “Am I pregnant? But I had my period last month.”

She had a nanny personally chosen by Auntie Xu with her. If she was pregnant, they would definitely notice something amiss.

However, she did not know that during this period of time, when she had a bad temper and her personality changed drastically, the nanny had some guesses in her heart. Since she had her period, her guess was not right, so she temporarily suppressed her thoughts and planned to observe for a while longer.

Yin Huaixi did not have too many feelings about the pregnancy. His attention was all on Yu Youyao. “What’s going on? Will it affect the Empress’s health?”

Imperial Physician Hu hurriedly said, “Your Majesty, don’t worry. Everyone’s physique is different, and their reactions after pregnancy are different. Her Majesty is in a normal situation, so it won’t affect her health at all.”

Yin Huaixi was finally relieved. Only then did he realize that Yu Youyao seemed to be pregnant. He suddenly realized what this meant to him.

He was about to have a child. It was his and Yu Youyao’s child.

Was he going to be a father?

Yin Huaixi was immediately dumbfounded.

Yu Youyao couldn’t suppress the joy in her heart. “Recently, I’ve been feeling stuffy and frustrated. I lose my temper at the drop of a hat. Is it related to my pregnancy?”

Recently, her temper had been capricious, and Yin Huaixi had suffered a lot. She had also tried to control her temper, but every time, it was like a firecracker. She couldn’t hold it in anymore.

Imperial Physician Hu nodded. “In the early stages of pregnancy, there will more or less be some reaction. This is also a normal situation. Empress, don’t worry. After three months, when the pregnancy stabilizes, the situation will improve.”

Yu Youyao heaved a sigh of relief.

Imperial Physician Hu explained many things that she needed to pay attention to after getting pregnant. Yu Youyao noted them all down.

Only Yin Huaixi and Yu Youyao were left in the room.

Yu Youyao leaned against the pillow and stroked her deflated stomach, still in disbelief. “Yin Huaixi, I’m pregnant. Did you hear what Imperial Physician Hu said? I’m pregnant. I’m going to be a mother…”

As she smiled, her eyes turned red.

Yin Huaixi shuddered and immediately reacted. “I’m going to be a father. Imperial Physician Hu just said that I’m going to be a father…”

The two of them looked at each other in the same silly manner.

Yin Huaixi was excited. He suddenly picked Yu Youyao up and spun her around the room. Yu Youyao was so frightened that she screamed. As she patted his shoulder, she shouted, “What are you doing? Put me down quickly. The baby hasn’t stabilized yet. Be careful and let me down quickly…”
