536 Consort Rou Is Pregnant, Father Has No Impression
“Father,” Gu Nuo’er’s face was fair, and her big eyes were filled with curiosity. “Consort Rou said that she’s pregnant. Does that mean she has a baby?”
The cold and murderous look in Gu Yihan’s eyes suddenly disappeared.
He reached out and touched the top of his precious daughter’s head. He smiled gently and said, “Father isn’t sure. Nuo’er, don’t be anxious. Father will send someone to ask.”
Gu Yihan stood up and called Eunuch Chunshou, who was waiting respectfully at the side.
He lowered his voice and asked as if he was afraid that Gu Nuo’er would hear him.
“Apart from staying in the n.o.ble consort’s bedroom at night, when have I been to Consort Rou’s place in the past few months?”
As Gu Yihan’s personal eunuch, Eunuch Chunshou naturally had a good memory.
He hurriedly said, “Four months ago, His Majesty came to the n.o.ble consort’s palace for 20 days. You slept alone for the remaining nine days. There was also one night when you got drunk and went to Consort Rou’s palace… It was probably that time.”
Gu Yihan pressed his glabella.
Why had he no impression of this?
Eunuch Chunshou laughed dryly at the side, not daring to speak the truth.
Of course, His Majesty didn’t remember. It was because when he left the next day, he didn’t ask who attended to him.
Usually, there was an unwritten rule in the harem. Whoever served the emperor that night would be rewarded by His Majesty the next day with some small items to play with.
But when it came to Consort Rou, not only did the emperor not say anything, he did not even say a word to her after he woke up.
At that time, Gu Yihan left in a hurry to feed Gu Nuo’er breakfast.
As the emperor, it was normal for him to have many women in his harem.
He would pamper one today and dote on another one tomorrow.
However, ever since Gu Nuo’er was born, n.o.ble Consort Qiao had monopolized most of the favor in the harem.
Everyone knew that even if His Majesty went to the Qiushui Palace, most of the time, it was to tell his daughter bedtime stories.
Although he was the emperor, in Gu Nuo’er’s childhood, Gu Yihan took the job of accompanying her as her father very seriously.
Gu Yihan was also very surprised that Consort Rou was pregnant.
This was because Consort Rou managed to hide her pregnancy for four months. Now that she suddenly brought it up, it must be that she could not hide it anymore.
Gu Yihan stood in the inner hall and quietly listened to n.o.ble Consort Qiao.
“Consort Rou, I saw that your abdomen was slightly bulging and thought that you might really be pregnant. However, to be safe, I want to invite an imperial physician to take your pulse. Do you have any objections?”
Consort Rou did not dare to look into n.o.ble Consort Qiao’s eyes, but when she heard this, her heart still skipped a beat.
She had taken medicine to have such fake symptoms of pregnancy.
She had never asked the imperial physician to take her pulse before. She did not know if the imperial physician could tell!
Consort Rou hesitated for a moment before nodding.
Hence, n.o.ble Consort Qiao asked Wanxuan to summon an imperial physician and said, “Wanyin, go and invite Consort Rou to take a seat.”
Consort Rou was flattered and thanked her profusely.
n.o.ble Consort Qiao narrowed her eyes and looked at her with a faint smile.
Be it sitting or standing, Consort Rou did not look pregnant.
n.o.ble Consort Qiao sneered in her heart, but she didn’t show it on her face.
Gu Nuo’er blinked her watery eyes and turned to look in the direction of the screen.
Although others did not know, the child could sense Consort Rou.
When one was pregnant, there would be a baby. However, Gu Nuo’er couldn’t see any aura of a baby brother or sister from Consort Rou.
Gu Nuo’er fluttered her long eyelashes. Her porcelain-like clean and round face was filled with the innocence of a child.
She suddenly reached out and tugged at a corner of Gu Yihan’s robe.
“Father, put your ear close and let me whisper something to you~” The child winked cutely.
Gu Yihan bent over patiently. “Nuo’er, go on. Father is listening.”
