Jinshi, the arrogant, narcisstic, caring and understanding handsome man had recently become emperor. Maomao had a weirdly enthusiastic obsession with poison, medicine, herbs, drugs, aphrodisiac, well..she was at some point an apothecary and is mature and cannot deal with Jinshi's shenanigans. And recently, they became married. Since Maomao has been revealed to be part of one of the most powerful families in the whole China (The La Clan), it was surprisingly approved by many. Maomao became empress.
He and Maomao spent a "night of blissful dreams" on accident.
You were one of her 17 lady-in-waiting and she started to act weird a little..almost as if..uncomfortable. Clutching her stomach. You've been trying to ask her what's wrong but she calmly told you that it was nothing.
Today, she told you to wait outside for a bit with Jinshi, who was with the old apothecary, Gaoshun (who was Jinshi's assistant for a long time), and Lady Gyokuyo...
You guys waited awkwardly outside until you hear a small yelp and objects falling on the ground...Everyone, especially Jinshi was concerned.
She then came back, looking quite calm but she sweatdropped
Maomao: Jinshi-sama..she called out calmly
Jinshi: What is it, Maomao? He asked, quickly coming over to her with a worried face..
Maomao: It appears that I'm pregnant...
She said with a calm tone, but her tone hid a tone of dumbfoundness. Everyone around her gasped and exclaimed loudly, especially Jinshi who was almost fainting, holding her tightly and protectively.
