Chapter 66 Zhen Huan is pregnant
Doctor Wen carefully took Zhen Huan's pulse, frowned slightly, and asked Zhen Huan to stretch out her other hand again. Then, a faint smile appeared on his face.
The girl he cared about finally had someone to rely on in this palace.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty! Lady Wan is one month pregnant."
"real?"
The emperor was surprised by Wen Shichu's words. He quickly looked at Zhen Huan, and Zhen Huan also stroked her abdomen gently with an expression of disbelief.
"Doctor Wen, are you sure? There's no mistake in the diagnosis?"
Nian Shilan was also very happy. In her previous life, Zhen Huan was diagnosed with pregnancy when Fu Cha had a miscarriage. She originally thought it would be the same in this life. Unexpectedly, when she asked the imperial physician to take Zhen Huan's pulse and carefully check her, she found that she was not pregnant. She didn't expect that what was coming would come eventually.
"Your Majesty, I dare not speak rashly. Lady Wan is indeed pregnant, but the period is still young and she needs to recuperate well."
"That's great, that's great, Huanhuan, you're pregnant with my child too. Today is truly a joyous day. Mei'er gave birth to a princess for me, and Huanhuan is pregnant again. This must be God's blessing."
The emperor's excited expression was so dazzling in the eyes of the queen. She didn't expect that Shen Meizhuang was not enough, and now Zhen Huan was also pregnant. In the days to come, would the emperor still remember that she was the queen?
"Lady Wan, you are really something. You didn't even know you were pregnant."
The look the Queen gave Zhen Huan was hardly friendly.
All this seemed ridiculous to Nian Shilan. She thought the queen's headache would flare up again tonight.
The concubines in the palace became pregnant one after another, and the queen must have been unable to sleep or eat.
"The Empress Dowager is reprimanding me for not taking good care of my body."
"Ah~, how can I blame you for this? You've never given birth to a child before, so naturally you don't know these things."
"Lady Wan, you are pregnant now. You must be more careful in the future. Your Majesty, I have an idea. Why don't you let Lady Wan live with me in Yikun Palace? First, Suiyuxuan is a bit remote. If anything happens, we can help her in time. Second, Lady Wan's health is different now. I helped take care of Concubine Hui before, so I have some experience. Why don't you let me take care of Lady Wan this time?"
Nian Shilan had already thought that after Zhen Huan became pregnant, the Queen would definitely find various opportunities to harm the child, and such things were sometimes hard to guard against. It would be better to bring Zhen Huan directly to her own palace, which would be better.
The emperor did not seem to have expected Nian Shilan to make such a suggestion. He looked at Nian Shilan, but the other party was not at all panicked. Her face only showed that she was simply thinking about Zhen Huan.
Am I overthinking it?
The emperor didn't know why Nian Shilan came up with such an idea, but...
"Hanhuan has lived in Suiyuxuan for a while and is very familiar with the environment there. For the time being, she should stay in Suiyuxuan and decide when the pregnancy is a little later."
He did not explicitly reject Nian Shilan's proposal, but his words seemed to indicate some uncertainty about her.
"Your Majesty is absolutely right."
Nian Shilan was not disappointed either. The emperor had been wary of her Nian family for a long time. This matter could not be rushed and could only be handled slowly.
After this delay, it's already late.
Shen Meizhuang had also regained consciousness. After hearing that Zhen Huan was pregnant, the smile on her face never left her face.
It’s great that the sisters all have their own children in this palace, and they will definitely support each other in raising their children in the future.
"Mei'er, you just gave birth. Rest well first. I will come to see you when I am free."
Worried that Zhen Huan had been exhausted from working so long in Cunju Hall, the Emperor accompanied Zhen Huan back to Suiyuxuan.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty, and congratulations, Young Lady."
When they returned to Suiyuxuan, Jinxi and the servants knelt at the door to welcome the emperor and Zhen Huan.
They had already received the news from Huanbi in advance, and knowing the good news that Zhen Huan was pregnant, they were naturally happy for her.
"Okay, okay, Huanhuan, the people in your palace serve you very well, and they will all be rewarded."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Zhen Huan's pregnancy made many people in the palace unable to sleep peacefully at night.
"Baojuan, how come they always have such good luck? Chen Meizhuang gave birth safely, and now even Zhen Huan is pregnant. But look at me, I have nothing. Others say that the emperor dotes on me, but only I know that I am just a pet in his spare time, just like a bird in a cage that he plays with when he is happy."
After hearing about the incident at Shuiyuxuan, An Lingrong's face became even more desolate.
She knew very well that the emperor had never really cared about her. Every time he heard that something had happened to Zhen Huan or other concubines, the emperor would have a look of worry on his face, which he had never had when facing her.
"My dear, there are some things you cannot say. Be careful, there are ears on the other side of the wall."
Although Baojuan was just a servant, she knew very well that in this palace there were some things that she must never say even if she thought so in her heart.
"What's there to be afraid of? I'm just a worthless person, so what do I have to worry about? It's just that they are so proud of themselves, and I'm really unhappy."
Looking at the silk cloth in her hand, An Lingrong didn't know what she was thinking about. She didn't say anything else, but just looked outside the house silently.
Baojuan was well aware of An Lingrong's reluctance, but some things were simply beyond the control of a mere palace maid like her.
An Lingrong knew in her heart that even though she was now a concubine, she was still a chess piece in the palace that could be discarded at any time. Even the Queen's "help" to her was just so that she could become a knife in her hand.
"It would be great if the young lady could also get pregnant. Then the emperor would definitely favor her even more, and her position in the palace would be more secure."
"Baojuan, you know how the Queen would allow me to have my own child."
How could An Lingrong not know what Baojuan meant, but...
She touched her belly and thought that since she had chosen to depend on the queen, the queen would never let her have a child. This was no longer something she could decide.
An Lingrong couldn't help but start to doubt whether her original choice was right or wrong. Seeing that Zhen Huan and Shen Meizhuang had their own children one after another, how could she not be envious.
A hint of determination flashed in Baojuan's eyes. An Lingrong was a chess piece in the Queen's hands, and she was also a chess piece that could be discarded by anyone.
But people always have to plan for themselves. She also wants to live, or rather, she also wants to live a good life in the second half of her life.
"My lady, we should always plan for ourselves. If you are pregnant, many problems may be solved."
Baojuan's few short words seemed to have hit An Lingrong's heart hard.
However, she had chosen the Queen before. If she betrayed her now, what would she do in the future? Would Zhen Huan and Shen Meizhuang still have room for her? Most importantly, Zhen Huan and Hua Fei were almost one. Thinking of the look Hua Fei gave her every time, she always felt as if that look could see through her completely.
An Lingrong glanced at Baojuan. She didn't expect that such a little girl could be so active in thinking. Was she really thinking about herself, or did she have other ideas?
"My lady, I sincerely hope that you will live a good life. Of course, I also have my own selfish motives. If you are well, my life in this palace will also be better."
Baojuan was not surprised by An Lingrong's inquiring look, but she was really saying this sincerely.
She had been transferred from one palace to another for so many years, and it seemed that she could be abandoned at any time. It was not until An Lingrong entered the palace that she officially became An Lingrong's personal maid. Even though she had done some things against her will for some reasons before, she was very clear that only when her mistress was favored could she be better off.
