Snap——
The incense in the princess's hand broke and fell to the floor, and a wisp of white smoke spread. The princess’ head was buzzing.
Pregnant?
Shen is pregnant again?
Just five months after giving birth, Shen was pregnant again!
The princess was jealous to the point of going crazy, and subconsciously clenched the Buddhist beads in her hand. In addition to jealousy, there is also a hint of creepy fear. After she returned to the palace, she slapped Shen Wei in the face, and Shen Wei fainted. If anything happened to the baby in Shen Wei's belly, the responsibility would be entirely on the princess.
The prince will surely be furious, and the queen, who has always disliked the princess, will also punish her.
Nanny Liu saw the princess's worries and said tactfully, "Princess, you don't have to bother with Shen at all. If you suppress your anger today and don't hit Shen, the situation will be very different."
The princess looked up in confusion: "What's the difference?"
Madam Liu said, "Concubine Shen just gave birth and is now pregnant again, so her body must be weakened. Having an heir is the most important thing. You can admit your mistake to the prince and offer to share the pressure of being the head of the household with Concubine Shen who is pregnant."
Shen Wei has a daughter who is less than one year old, and now she is suddenly pregnant and lacks energy. The other concubines in the palace were not very powerful, so the princess had enough reasons to take back the power of housekeeper.
But unfortunately, the princess hit Shen Wei in a fit of impulse today, blocking her retreat.
The Prince of Yan was so wise that he would not give the power of housekeeping to a mistress who beat her concubines.
The princess' face turned pale, her legs went weak, and she staggered and collapsed on the mat. Only then did she realize that she had thrown away an opportunity to regain the power of housekeeper.
...
In the Liuli Pavilion, the servants were busy and everything was in order.
Prince Yan sent someone to invite the imperial physician from the palace to check Shen Wei's pulse.
After carefully taking her pulse, the imperial physician said that Shen Wei was already one month pregnant, but the condition of the fetus in her belly was extremely unstable. The loss of her body after giving birth last time has not been fully recovered yet, so Shen Wei needs to rest for a while.
After taking the pulse, the doctor prescribed the best medicine. Before leaving, the doctor tactfully reminded the King of Yan: "Your Majesty, please forgive me for talking too much. You...you need to be restrained."
King Yan: ...
The Prince of Yan reflected deeply and realized that he had indeed not been very restrained in the past two months. When a hot-blooded man meets a woman who is a perfect match for him in every way, the result is a night of revelry.
While feeling annoyed, King Yan inevitably felt happy. His Weiwei has another child, and the palace will be more lively again.
After the imperial physician left, the maids went to boil the medicine in an orderly manner. Shen Wei hadn't woken up yet, her head resting sickly on the pillow, the red slap marks on her face clearly visible.
King Yan's gaze fell on the bright red palm print, his eyes dark. Shen Wei was already weak, and after being slapped by the princess, she almost hurt the baby in her belly.
Prince Yan was extremely disappointed with his princess. The once gentle and virtuous princess had unknowingly turned into a hypocritical and vicious woman.
Given the princess’ jealous nature, she might attack the pregnant Shen Wei. In order to protect the baby in Shen Wei's belly and to ensure the continuation of the royal family, the Prince of Yan could no longer allow the princess to stir up trouble.
"Let the princess recuperate in Kunyu Courtyard and not go out without permission." Prince Yan had no intention of stepping into the gate of Kunyu Courtyard again, so he only ordered his personal attendant to pass on the message.
Not allowed to go out, which is actually house arrest.
Even King Yan himself did not realize that, unknowingly, his heart had completely turned to Shen Wei.
It's getting dark. Late at night, the sound of insects chirping could be heard outside the yard. The evening breeze blew through the window lattices, making a rustling sound.
Chen Wei slept until the moon was above the willow trees. Her stomach growled and she opened her eyes sleepily. The candlelight in the room was bright, and through a faint light-colored gauze curtain, Shen Wei saw King Yan sitting at a desk not far away, holding a brush and writing documents.
Prince Yan was dressed in a dark-colored suit. His profile was distinct and his stern eyebrows and eyes looked softened in the candlelight.
Hearing the noise on the bed, Prince Yan put down the brush in his hand. King Yan lifted the gauze curtain and saw Shen Wei sitting up in a daze, her long black hair scattered on her shoulders. The swelling on her right cheek from the slap had subsided, and she looked like a beautiful cat that had just woken up.
Cuckoo——
Shen Wei touched her stomach shyly and looked at King Yan eagerly: "I'm hungry, is there anything to eat?"
The look was so adorable that King Yan couldn't help laughing.
The kitchen brought out the prepared dinner. Prince Yan had already finished his dinner but hadn't started eating. Shen Wei was very hungry and didn't care about her image. She ate two bowls of rice and drank half a bowl of fragrant pork rib soup.
Not ladylike at all.
The King of Yan held his forehead with his hand and could not help but said, "Eat slowly, the baby in my belly will not compete with you."
Shen Wei paused while drinking her soup. Her eyes widened as if she had just realized she was pregnant: "A...a ...
King Yan smiled and told her the good news: "Weiwei, we have another child."
Shen Wei looked confused, touching her flat belly with her fingers, as if she had just found out that she was pregnant.
In fact, when she had abdominal pain in the morning, she had already consulted the local doctor to check her pulse. When she learned that she was pregnant, two thoughts flashed through Shen Wei's mind.
First of all, you shouldn’t have been fooling around with the Prince of Yan without restraint!
Second, the princess posed a threat to her.
Her pregnancy was unstable, and the princess used this as an excuse to have a chance to take back the reins of the household. So Shen Wei used a clever trick and deliberately got slapped, completely ruining the princess's path to power.
The maid brought a bowl of bitter medicine to preserve the pregnancy. Shen Wei suppressed the bitterness, frowned, drank the pregnancy-preserving medicine, and quickly put a piece of cane sugar in her mouth to dispel the bitterness.
Late at night, Prince Yan and Shen Wei slept side by side.
Shen Wei stroked her flat belly, still a little unconvinced: "How come you are pregnant again..."
King Yan held her hand and said, "I work hard day and night, so it's not surprising that you are pregnant."
Chen Wei glared at King Yan unhappily, but her eyes didn't seem angry, but more like she was acting coquettishly, with seductive eyes and shyness. Prince Yan was extremely jealous, and sometimes he really felt that Chen Wei was the incarnation of a demon, and whenever she approached him, he could not control himself.
However, she was pregnant, and the imperial physician gave many warnings, so the Prince of Yan could only suppress his restlessness.
It was late at night and the two of them were chatting idly. When Shen Wei mentioned giving the unborn child a good name, King Yan also took it to heart and secretly began to think about the name of the new child.
...
Early the next morning, King Yan was in a good mood. After breakfast, he went to the nursery to see his sleeping little girl, picked a crisp cucumber from the vegetable garden in the yard, and then went to court leisurely.
The Prince of Yan enjoyed such a smooth and comfortable life, and he also had more reasons not to fail in his seizure of power.
In order to ensure a stable life for the rest of his life and the safety of his family, he must take down the supreme throne.
Prince Yan went to court, and after Chen Wei had breakfast, she still felt a dull pain in her lower abdomen. After drinking the pregnancy-preserving medicine, Shen Wei had to go to bed to recuperate.
This pregnancy came too quickly, beyond Shen Wei's expectations. Now that things have come to this, she needs to take care of her body as soon as possible and stay in the best physical condition. She can't let this pregnancy harm her body's vitality.
"Master, Nanny Qian from the Queen's service is here." Cai Lian walked into the inner room.
