Li Hongyuan lowered his head to write, and said indifferently, “This prince understands, thank you Master Dong.”

“It is this official’s duty. Also, even though the Princess Consort likes sour food, she still needs to consume it in moderation and not too much. Her legs and feet are not convenient, and if she does not walk and exercise, it is easy to experience swelling, which is not good for the child.”

Li Hongyuan raised his head: “She is a cripple, how do you expect her to walk?”

“This… The Princess Consort’s right leg is just not good, if she is helped, she can still walk.”

“Alright, I understand.”

Seeing that he didn’t seem to care much, Imperial Physician Dong had to bow and take his leave.

Upon returning to the palace, without even having time to take a sip of water, he hurried to meet the Emperor.

The Emperor was reviewing the memorials, holding a teacup, and frowning.

“This official pays his respects to Your Majesty.” Dong Chaofeng knelt down.

The Emperor looked at him: “Did you go to the ends of the earth to take someone’s pulse? Don’t you know that I am waiting for your reply?”

Dong Chaofeng hurriedly kowtowed: “Your Majesty, please calm down. Since Prince of Yu and the Princess Consort were having dinner at the Jiang residence, I waited for a while.”

“Speak.”

“To report to Your Majesty, the Princess Consort is generally in good health, and the fetus is also fine.”

“What else?”

“Based on my pulse diagnosis, the Princess Consort should be carrying a male fetus.”

“Really?” The Emperor’s eyes widened, “Are you certain with your diagnosis?”

“As for the ability to diagnose the gender of the fetus through the pulse, although I am not as accurate as my late father, I still have some confidence.” Dong Chaofeng lowered his head and said, “Moreover, the Princess Consort’s fondness for sour food is also an indication of carrying a male fetus.”

“Good, excellent!” The Emperor slapped the table, his face full of delight, “I will finally have a royal grandson again!”

The matter of heirs to the royal family has always been a concern for him.

He is already this old, with five sons, but now there are only four left. Although they are all married, not a single grandson has been born.

The only son who had given birth to a grandson had already passed away early.

It can’t help but make people wonder if the remaining princes are not quite up to it, as there are so many wives and concubines, yet they only give birth to daughters and not sons.

The Imperial Court has been discussing the matter of establishing a Crown Prince.

Establishing a Crown Prince early would also prevent disputes in the Imperial Court and unrest among the people.

Though according to the ancestral rules, the heir should be the oldest legitimate son. As there is no more legitimate son, the second son should be considered. But everyone has an unspoken understanding, whoever among the princes can have a son first will have a greater advantage in the matter of establishing a Crown Prince.

In recent years, the second, third and fourth sons have been desperately taking concubines and having children, working tirelessly every day.

A lot of children have indeed been born, but none are boys.

It’s simply ghostly.

It has stirred up rumors among the common people, with all kinds of talk.

In his heart, the Emperor is more inclined to have the fifth son as the Crown Prince. The Fifth Prince excels in everything, and he is the son of his most beloved Concubine Jin. But in terms of birth, he is of higher status than the other princes.

But the Fifth Prince, let alone having a son, does not even have a daughter.

Moreover, he is ranked fifth, neither legitimate nor eldest.

It is really difficult to find a reason to establish him as Crown Prince.

Now that he finally knows that the heir in the Fifth Prince’s wife’s belly is a boy, he is naturally overjoyed.

“Summon someone!”

The Emperor called for the chamberlain, “Immediately go to the Prince of Yu’s Mansion, reward the Princess Consort of Yu! Also, order the Prince of Yu to take good care of the Princess Consort of Yu, there must not be any negligence.”

The chamberlain took the order.

The Emperor also said: “Moreover, tell the Prince of Yu that if he dares to make the Princess Consort of Yu suffer again, causing any harm to the child, I will have his life.”

The chamberlain had long been accustomed to the coarse language of His Majesty the Emperor and hurriedly left.

After rejoicing for a long time, the Emperor ordered someone to take him to Concubine Jin’s Splendid Palace so he could share the good news with her..
