Emperor Yongzheng defeated his brothers and ascended the throne, only to die exhausted after thirteen years, leaving behind ambitions unfulfilled. Unwilling to accept this fate, his soul wandered t...
After calming themselves down, the mother and daughter began gently, "...How are you? Do you have a poor appetite? Is there anything you particularly crave? Or are you feeling sleepy...?"
When Uya asked, Yunrong answered them one by one, regardless of the questions: "...My daughter isn't particularly picky about food for now. She went to bed quite early last night and is a little sleepy..."
After hearing what her daughter said, Uya felt relieved that her daughter's pregnancy looked good!
Uya then smiled and said, "Does Your Majesty have any comments?"
Uya had vaguely heard people mention that her daughter was now the emperor's favorite. Now that her daughter was pregnant, what should be done about the emperor's plans?
Uya was essentially a hypocrite. If her daughter were not in the harem, she might feel that it was against the rules for the emperor to favor one person. But now that the emperor favored her daughter, she hoped that the emperor would continue to do so!
She only cares about the flesh and blood of herself; as for others, sorry, her heart is too small to hold anyone else!
Yunrong didn't want to directly tell Yinzhen that he had made a promise to her, so she only said, "Mother, don't worry, the Emperor knows what he's doing! He won't let me suffer any injustice. But I also need to mention to Father, Brother, and Sister-in-law that the foundation of a family is to be upright and honest. I'm currently in a very sensitive position, and everyone is watching me! I absolutely must not do anything to bully others!"
Uya readily agreed. Even if Yunrong didn't say anything, she would occasionally give her daughters-in-law a warning!
Uya said solemnly, "Your Majesty, rest assured, the Fucha family's mother will keep an eye on things!"
Yunrong: "With Mother's words, I can rest assured!"
After chatting with Yunrong for a while, Wuya took out a booklet and said, "Take this. It contains things that pregnant women should avoid. It was passed down from our ancestors. Take a good look at it, and have everyone serving you take a look too. Learn from it. Don't be careless! Understand?"
Yunrong looked at the rather thick booklet and felt a warmth in her heart: "Thank you, Mother!"
Uya patted her daughter's hand: "Why are you being so polite with your mother?"
Yunrong: "It's my fault, I shouldn't have been so polite to my mother."
The mother and daughter had a lot to say, but after all, they were in the palace, and the rules were in place! The Emperor doted on Yunrong, and Wuya dared not take advantage of his kindness, for fear of doing something against the rules and giving her daughter a handle to criticize!
Uya returned before lunch, and although Yunrong wanted her to stay, Uya firmly refused.
Yunrong had no choice but to have some tonics prepared and send someone to escort her back.
Before leaving, Lady Wuya smiled sincerely and said, "Mother, don't worry, the Emperor is fine! You don't need to worry about your daughter!"
Seeing that her daughter was just as carefree as before her marriage, Uya felt relieved!
After Lady Wuya left, Yinzhen came over. Before Yunrong was pregnant, Yinzhen would have lunch in Yongshou Palace. Now that she was pregnant, Yinzhen naturally had to keep a closer eye on her!
The first thing Yinzhen said when he came in was, "Is the child causing you any trouble?"
Yunrong laughed and said, "The baby is probably not even fully formed yet! How could it be making a fuss!"
Yinzhen ordered someone to prepare the meal! He asked Yunrong, "Didn't your mother come over today? Why did she leave so early?"
Yunrong: "My mother said she has things to do at home, so she won't stay!" Yunrong knew that her mother was worried about not following the proper etiquette!
Since ancient times, it has been common in the imperial harem that a woman's favor with the emperor ends before her beauty fades. Her mother was also afraid that one day the emperor would lose his favor with her, and her unconventional behavior would become a handle for others to use against her.
Yinzhen pondered for a while, then said, "It was my oversight. In a couple of days, I will issue an imperial decree to the Fucha family, so that your mother can come and keep you company again."
Yunrong was quite happy, but said, "That's too much trouble, and Mother won't be happy either. I'll just tell you when I miss Mother and ask her to come to the palace."
Yinzhen: "Very well!"
Yinzhen thought that no matter what, he couldn't let Yunrong and the child suffer.
When Yunrong was having lunch, she was eating well, but after eating a chicken dish, she felt unwell. She felt a fishy smell in her throat, which was very uncomfortable. Before she finished her meal, she started to gag. Yinzhen was very anxious and could only order someone to fetch the imperial physician immediately, as there was no other way to help her.
By the time the imperial physician arrived, Yunrong was feeling much better. The physician took her pulse and said it was just a normal reaction for a pregnant woman.
The imperial physician could only say, "...Her Majesty's health is still quite good. The dry heaving is probably due to her constitution. She should eat more sour foods to stimulate her appetite, but not too much. She will get better after a while. Her Majesty is fine. All medicines have some toxicity, so there is no need for any medicine to prevent miscarriage."
Upon hearing the imperial physician's words, Yinzhen gave an order for the imperial kitchen to come up with ideas to prepare more appetizing dishes, preferably more meat dishes, as pregnant women cannot eat only vegetarian food. However, Yunrong felt uncomfortable as soon as she had any meat.
Yinzhen could only mess around with the imperial kitchen.
The imperial kitchen was indeed put through a lot of trouble. In fact, the imperial kitchen usually prepared meat dishes very well. The problem was that Yunrong was too sensitive and couldn't stand even the slightest bit of meat.
Even the head chefs in the imperial kitchen were at a loss.
The teacher who taught Wu Yiming had always thought she was quite insightful, so he called her over and explained his requirements.
Wu Yiming is indeed clever and has many ideas, but when it comes to her cooking skills, she is far inferior to the master chefs in the imperial kitchen.
Wu Yiming had no choice!
The master chef was somewhat disappointed. Wu Yiming had been thinking about this matter ever since she learned about it. She suddenly realized that some people in modern times think a dish doesn't taste good just because of its visual appeal.
