——Lu Mansion

The early morning sunlight shone through the window lattice and onto an elegantly decorated room in the Lu Mansion.

"Yunqi, get up." A clear and pleasant voice came. It was Jun Yue gently calling Lu Yunqi who was still lying in bed.

Lu Yunqi turned over, pulled the quilt up, and mumbled in a daze: "Yuer, stop making trouble. Let me sleep a little longer." His voice was filled with sleepiness and a hint of coquettishness.

However, Jun Yue did not give up. She walked to the bedside, gently pushed Lu Yunqi's shoulder, and said earnestly: "From today on, you must get up early. Only by studying hard can you pass the imperial examination."

After hearing this, Lu Yunqi opened his eyes and sat up as if he was suddenly awakened. He rubbed his sleepy eyes and muttered to himself, "Ah, that's true..." Then, he jumped up from the bed.

Lu Yunqi quickly got dressed, washed up, and sat down at the desk in high spirits. He picked up a book, turned the pages, and read carefully. Jun Yue, who was standing beside him, looked at him with a smile, her eyes full of encouragement and expectation.

——Inside the magnificent and magnificent palace

A young eunuch with a fair complexion hurried to the door of the imperial study and respectfully reported to the room: "Your Majesty, Concubine Yu sent a message saying that she is not feeling well at the moment."

The emperor, who was reading the memorials at his desk, frowned slightly when he heard this. He paused with his red pen and said, "Then let the imperial physician Xuanjiang go over there."

"Yes!" The young eunuch received the order and responded hurriedly, then turned around and trotted away.

At this time, the imperial doctors and imperial physicians were busy with their work. However, Jiang Yu sat quietly in a corner, concentrating on the work at hand.

Not long after, the eunuch who had just delivered the imperial eunuch's message rushed to the Imperial Hospital again and shouted, "The Emperor has ordered that the Imperial Physician from Xuanjiang go to Youxiang Pavilion immediately to diagnose and treat Concubine Yu!"

Hearing the summons, Jiang Yu, who was originally immersed in her own world, suddenly came back to her senses. She did not dare to be negligent in the slightest, and quickly stood up and walked quickly to the young eunuch, then knelt on both knees and said respectfully: "Your humble servant receives the order." Then, she tidied her clothes and followed the young eunuch to Youxiang Pavilion.

Jiang Yu came to Youxiang Pavilion and took Yu Guiren's pulse. He found that she was fine, but she was suffering from severe morning sickness. He prescribed some pregnancy-preserving medicine for her.

Soon, a quick but steady sound of footsteps came from far away, and everyone turned their heads to look, only to see the emperor rushing over with the gait of a dragon and a tiger. His majestic eyes immediately fell on Concubine Yu, and when he saw that Concubine Yu looked good and rosy, his originally frowned brows relaxed a little, but his eyes were still full of concern.

"My beloved concubine, are you okay?" The emperor took two steps at a time and came to Concubine Yu's bedside. He reached out and gently held her hand, with a hint of anxiety and worry in his voice.

Concubine Yu pouted her lips slightly and said coquettishly, "Your Majesty, I feel so uncomfortable." As she spoke, she deliberately twisted her body, showing her weakness.

Seeing this, the emperor's heart almost melted, and he quickly comforted her softly: "Don't be afraid, my beloved concubine. I have ordered people to find the best imperial physician to treat you, and I will make you recover as soon as possible."

At this time, Concubine Yu seemed to have noticed something. She suddenly turned her head to look at Jiang Yu who was concentrating on writing a prescription and called out softly, "Your Majesty?"

The emperor realized his mistake and quickly retracted his gaze, but his eyes unconsciously drifted to Jiang Yu again. At this time, Jiang Yu was wearing an official uniform, which made her look particularly petite and delicate. The color of the official uniform was simple and elegant, yet solemn, and it perfectly outlined her slender waist and graceful figure.

She was concentrating on the prescription she was writing, her brows slightly furrowed, her expression serious and charming, as if everything around her had nothing to do with her.

"Your humble servant greets His Majesty!" Jiang Yu keenly sensed the majestic gaze from above falling on her. She did not dare to be negligent in the slightest. She quickly jumped up from her seat, respectfully bowed towards where the emperor was, and spoke loudly.

The emperor, who was sitting upright on the bed, nodded slightly, motioning Jiang Yu to excuse himself, and then asked, "What's wrong, Concubine Yu?" His voice was low and magnetic, with an irresistible majesty.

Jiang Yu lowered his head and replied, "Your Majesty, Concubine Yu has been suffering from morning sickness in recent days. She has poor appetite and often cannot swallow food, which has caused stomach discomfort. After a careful diagnosis, I have prescribed some milder stomach medicine and pregnancy-stabilizing medicine. I believe that as long as Concubine Yu takes the medicine on time and takes good care of herself, she will soon recover." After saying this, she bowed again to show her respect for the emperor and the importance he attached to her condition.

Hearing this, a look of concern appeared on the emperor's face. He nodded and said, "Okay. I'll trouble you to take care of it. If Concubine Yu can recover soon, I will reward you handsomely." After that, the emperor waved his hand, indicating that Jiang Yu could leave.

Jiang Yu breathed a sigh of relief after leaving the palace. She couldn't help but think of the look the emperor had given her just now, which seemed to contain some deep meaning.

"Could it be that the emperor treats me..." She shook her head, interrupting her own wild thoughts.

Jiang Yu decided to bury this doubt deep in his heart and take care of Yu Guiren wholeheartedly. After all, in this deep palace, the slightest mistake could lead to a fatal disaster.

In the following days, Jiang Yu not only treated Yu Guiren carefully, but also paid attention to her diet and daily life. Under Jiang Yu's careful care, Yu Guiren's health gradually improved and her spirits became more and more full.

Soon after, Concubine Yu gave birth to a prince. The emperor was delighted and praised Jiang Yu and gave him generous rewards. However, Jiang Yu's mind was no longer here. She just wanted to stay away from the disputes in the palace and live a peaceful life.

It is said that when Concubine Yu gave birth, she actually gave birth to a prince. This really pleased the emperor! The emperor immediately ordered her to be canonized as Concubine Yu and announced it to the world, so that all people could celebrate this happy event together.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, the eldest prince is already one year old. In the past year, under the careful education of Rong Fei, the eldest prince is well-behaved and sensible, and is lovable. The eldest princess is also very obedient and never causes trouble for the palace people.

Time flies, and two years have passed in a hurry, but the palace has still not welcomed the ceremony of enthroning a new queen. The emperor seems to have not made a final decision on the matter of enthroning a queen, and has always remained silent and waited and watched.

The ministers in the court were all anxious when they saw that the harem was without a queen, so they submitted memorials one after another, earnestly begging the emperor to appoint a queen as soon as possible. They knew that appointing a queen was the cornerstone of national stability and the foundation of national prosperity. The queen of a country not only needed to be the mother of the country, but also had to assist in managing the six palaces to ensure the orderly inheritance of the royal bloodline and the harmony and prosperity of the family.

These ministers cited classics, listed the importance and necessity of establishing a queen in all dynasties, and earnestly advised the emperor to put the country first and select a virtuous woman to be the queen as soon as possible to calm the people and stabilize the government. For a time, the debate about establishing a queen in the court was one after another, and the atmosphere became increasingly tense.
