The next day was the first day of the Lunar New Year, and Emperor Jing Li started to be busy again with worshipping the ancestors, attending imperial court, analysing the six ministries' events, etc.

It was a busy start to the year compared to the end of the year.

Meanwhile, Liao Qing Qing was also busy.

Ever since she had taken over the affairs of the imperial harem, she was not as free as before, mainly because she was not very proficient in her duties. Hence, she studied hard, and she felt the strain not on her brain but on her body.

She was always sleepy.

It was only then that she suddenly remembered that she had not had her period last month. She hastily asked He Xiang to go to the Imperial Infirmary and call the Imperial Physician to come and have a look.

Liao Qing Qing was Lady Xi of Bright Countenance, Emperor Jing Li's most favoured person, who might soon be the Empress. Hence, the Imperial Infirmary took this very seriously and sent the most senior Imperial Physician to take Lady Xi of Bright Countenance's pulse.

The senior Imperial Physician first asked Liao Qing Qing about her daily diet, work, rest, etc.

Both Liao Qing Qing and He Xiang answered the questions.

He Xiang did not know where her mistress was feeling unwell, so she stood by the side and watched the senior Imperial Physician take her pulse. She felt very anxious and was worried that her mistress might be seriously ill

The senior Imperial Physician took her pulse with a serious expression, taking longer than ever before.

He Xiang held her breath and didn't dare to say a word.

Liao Qing Qing was also a little worried because of the senior Imperial Physician's seriousness.

It can't be that she suffers from some kind of disease, right?

After a long while, the senior Imperial Physician finally withdrew his hand. Then, he bowed to Liao Qing Qing solemnly, "Congratulations to Lady Xi of Bright Countenance. Congratulations to Lady Xi of Bright Countenance. It is an auspicious pulse."

Liao Qing Qing stared blankly.

""

He Xiang was so shocked that she covered her mouth.

Liao Qing Qing asked in surprise, "Imperial Physician, are you saying that I am pregnant? I'm pregnant?"

"Yes. It's been more than two months." The senior Imperial Physician continued, "And your pulse is calm. Everything is normal."

"Then why don't I have any side effects? I mean such as vomiting, feeling uncomfortable and whatnot, there was none." Liao Qing Qing had a vague feeling before the Lunar New Year. However, she was so busy that she had forgotten about it. She did not expect that she was really already pregnant.
