Chapter 292 Do You Know? Lin Yitang 6
In May of the third year of the Qingli era, Lin Yitang finally sorted out the people around her and replaced the items in the east wing of the Wutong Pavilion that were not conducive to pregnancy.
Speaking of this, Lin Yitang felt a little tired. Rumor had it that cinnabar was used in the construction of the Song Dynasty's imperial palace. Cinnabar contains mercury, which is toxic and reduces the chances of conception.
Sure enough, Lin Yitang discovered this as soon as she moved into the east wing of Wutong Pavilion. As a result, the emperor stopped coming to Wutong Pavilion. At night, Lin Yitang drugged the palace maids and eunuchs in the east wing and began to repair the wall by herself, while being careful not to be discovered by others.
After nearly half a year of work, the toxic cinnabar was almost completely removed. Of course, after removing the cinnabar, Lin Yitang would apply a non-toxic red material of the same color, so the east wing has not been discovered by anyone yet.
After Lin Yitang felt that she was ready, she took the Pregnancy Pill when the official came to Wutong Pavilion.
Half a month later, Lian Yun noticed that Lin Niangzi's period was a day late. When Lin Niangzi was alone, he asked in confusion, "Madam, your period is a day late this month."
Lin Yitang gently touched her belly, looking at Lian Yun with a half-smile. Lian Yun immediately realized, "Is my wife pregnant?"
"It's not clear yet, but it's highly likely. We'll know once the imperial physician comes to examine the pulse in half a month. We probably can't diagnose it now." Lin Yitang smiled.
"My wife, this is a joyous occasion!" Lian Yun said with a beaming smile.
Lady Lin became pregnant in less than a year of serving the Emperor, which shows that she is very fortunate. Everyone knows that the Emperor has difficulty having children. Now the Emperor is over thirty-three years old and has only one daughter, Princess Fukang.
"Alright, things aren't certain yet. You'll be getting your period soon too, so use my menstrual pad and report that I've started my period." It's always better to be cautious.
Lian Yun immediately suppressed her smile and became serious. Of course, she knew the matter was important: "Yes, madam, this servant will definitely keep a close eye on Wutong Pavilion."
Now, the Emperor has lost his third son at the beginning of the year, and the ministers of the court have begun to submit memorials urging the Emperor to establish a son of the imperial clan as heir. The Emperor is being pressured by the ministers and has spent the last three months in the palace of his young concubines, hoping for good news.
If Lin Yitang were to announce her pregnancy, she would definitely be promoted, and conservatively speaking, she would be promoted to the rank of Beauty.
……
Time flies, and half a month later, the monthly day for the concubines to have their pulse checked arrived. Because the emperor was having difficulty conceiving, he decreed that every month, the imperial physicians of the Imperial Hospital should have their pulse checked on the concubines in the harem, from the highest-ranking concubines to the lowest-ranking imperial attendants.
In the east wing of Wutong Pavilion, Cheng Yue jogged quickly into the inner room and said, "Madam Lin, Physician Wang from the Imperial Hospital has arrived."
"Please come in," Lin Yitang said casually, putting down the chess piece in her hand.
Cheng Yue welcomed Physician Wang in. Physician Wang lowered his head and pondered: This Lady Lin is the most favored person besides Consort Zhang, Consort Rong, and Lady Zhou. If he can diagnose that Lady Lin is pregnant, he will definitely have accomplished a great feat.
Since there has been no news about the first few ladies, Physician Wang doesn't have high expectations.
After Physician Wang bowed respectfully, Lian Yun took out a handkerchief and covered Lin Yitang's hand. Physician Wang stroked his beard while taking her pulse, but his expression became increasingly solemn, which made Lian Yun very nervous.
Half an hour later, Physician Wang finally put his hand down, his face beaming with joy: "Congratulations, Madam Lin, you are more than a month pregnant."
"Really?" Lin Yitang asked with surprise, as if she had no idea that she was pregnant.
"But, Physician Wang, I've had my period this month?" Lin Yitang asked in confusion.
Physician Wang said with a smile, "Madam Lin, some pregnant women have different constitutions, and it is normal for them to have menstrual flow in the first three months."
"Alright, Lianyun, send someone to tell the Emperor and the Empress that Chengyue, everyone who serves me will be rewarded with two months' salary," Lin Yitang said excitedly.
"Yes, this servant will go right away." Lian Yun was overjoyed. Although she had suspected half a month ago that Lady Lin was pregnant, she was naturally happy to receive confirmation now.
"Congratulations, Madam Lin! Congratulations, Madam Lin!"
"Alright, get up, everyone. Xiao Dengzi, go see Physician Wang off." After Lin Yitang finished speaking, she gave Lian Yun a look, and Lian Yun took out a purse from his sleeve and handed it to Physician Wang.
Physician Wang accepted the gift without any qualms; it was a joyous occasion for Wutong Pavilion, and he naturally wanted to share in the celebration.
