Chapter 53 Could it be that I am pregnant?
A thorough investigation into the case of the deposed crown prince has some people happy while others worried.
When Yu of the Shen family got the news, she immediately went to the Royal Villa to tell Shen Lingyi the good news.
"Are you serious? Is the prince really going to be reinstated?" Shen Lingyi had been living in poverty in the other courtyard these days, feeling that her future life was hopeless. Who would have thought that there would be a ray of hope.
If the Crown Prince really wants to be reinstated, then she... will be the honorable Crown Prince's concubine.
"Mother, the divorce letter in the hands of that bitch Shen Lingshu must be taken away and destroyed!" Shen Lingyi's eyes were fierce. The prince had no chance of being reinstated, so the divorce letter was useless to her!
Now that the prince has a chance to be reinstated, this divorce agreement must be destroyed!
"Don't worry, mother knows what's going on." Yu said soothingly and talked to Shen Lingyi for a long time before leaving.
Youlan Courtyard.
When Shen Lingshu got the news, she was not surprised at all. It had been known for a long time that the prince would be reinstated. There would be occasional minor accidents, but the general trend was correct.
The restoration of the crown prince is inevitable, and her primary goal now is to give birth to the children safely and raise them safely.
"No wonder the concubine was so angry after returning from the palace banquet." Zhu Xin said in a low voice.
Having been despised by Princess Lingzhao and learning that the Crown Prince might be reinstated, which shattered her dream of becoming the Crown Prince's concubine, it would be strange for Concubine Fang not to be angry.
Shen Lingshu changed the subject and said, "Okay, hurry to the kitchen, let's make something delicious today."
She is pregnant now, and her first priority is to maintain a good mood. Winter is too boring. When the weather is good, she can take a walk in the garden, but when it is cold and snowy, she can only stay in the house.
Shen Lingshu was particularly happy drinking the ginger milk and sweet taro balls with a strong milky flavor, and she didn't look unhappy at all.
Aunt Hua saw it and kept it in mind.
On New Year's Eve, Prince Lin brought Concubine Fang to the palace for a banquet. Shen Lingshu asked the small kitchen to prepare a table of New Year's Eve dinner, and everyone had a lively time.
After the New Year, there were constant banquets in the palace. Every day, Prince Lin was either attending banquets, or accompanying Princess Lingzhao to stroll around the capital, or investigating the case of deposing the crown prince. He was so busy that he had no time to go to the backyard.
Yimeiyuan.
"vomit."
Hai Jiaren's stomach started churning as soon as she ate something. After she vomited a lot, Jindian said, "Master, you haven't changed your clothes this month. You've been postponing it for three days."
"Could it be..." Hai Jiaren's eyes lit up, and she carefully stroked her belly and said, "Could it be that I'm pregnant?"
She said that her mother had sent in so many prescriptions, so they must be of no use at all.
"Yes, wasn't it the same when my wife was pregnant before?" Jindian said happily.
"Shh." Hai Jiaren put her hand over her mouth and said, "Don't let anyone know."
Hai Jiaren looked around like a thief. Even though there was no one around, she felt like someone was trying to harm her in the dark!
"Yes, yes." Jin Dian nodded repeatedly and said, "Master, that's great. Master is pregnant. If Madam knew, she would be very happy. When should we tell the prince?"
"What's the rush?" Hai Jiaren glanced at her and gently stroked her belly. She couldn't suppress the smile on her lips. She said, "The prince is busy recently. It won't be too late to tell the prince after the fetus is stable."
The most important thing is that Hai Jiaren is really worried that the child will be harmed by others, so it is better to keep it secret.
Qiutang Courtyard.
"Concubine, Hai Jiaren is pregnant." Nanny Gui whispered in Concubine Fang's ear.
Concubine Fang's eyes lit up and she said, "Have someone keep an eye on it. The Hai family definitely wants the position of concubine."
…
"Princess Lingzhao is here?"
When Concubine Fang heard the news, she hurriedly said, "The mansion hasn't even prepared yet!"
"Concubine, I am the prince's biological sister. I am here to visit the palace. What else do I need to prepare?"
Princess Lingzhao was dressed in a gorgeous red palace gown, from head to toe, showing her dignity and favor as the eldest princess.
"Your Highness."
Concubine Fang bowed and greeted him, saying, "Your Highness has just arrived at the palace. As a concubine, I should treat you well."
"This princess doesn't mind, as long as you quickly give birth to a royal heir for my second brother, so that he won't fall behind!"
Princess Lingzhao looked at her belly and asked, "You've been in the palace for so many years, why is there no movement in your belly?"
“…”
Concubine Fang's nails dug into her flesh, and she bit her back teeth and smiled, "Your Highness, Concubine Shen in the mansion is pregnant with twins. In three or four months, Your Highness will become an aunt."
"It's just right. This time I came here and brought a lot of gifts. I'll share them with everyone." Princess Lingzhao was generous. In addition to giving Concubine Fang a gift that was twice as heavy, she also gave each of the four concubines in the mansion a valuable hairpin.
"Madam Gui, please come to Qiutang Courtyard to meet Her Royal Highness the Princess."
After Concubine Fang finished speaking, Princess Lingzhao said, "Don't come to Qiutang Courtyard, just go to the pregnant concubine's courtyard."
"She's pregnant. If something happens to her, wouldn't my second brother be heartbroken?"
Princess Lingzhao stood up and walked out. Turning back, she saw Concubine Fang standing there in a daze. She said, "If Concubine Fang doesn't want to go, just find someone to lead the way."
"How could that be? It's my blessing to be able to accompany the princess." Concubine Fang said with a smile, and immediately stood up to accompany Princess Lingzhao to Youlan Courtyard.
When the prince went out, he reminded the princess to accompany her well.
As soon as she entered Youlan Courtyard, Princess Lingzhao was captivated by the aroma of milk. She said, "What a nice smell!"
Shen Lingshu, who was eating taro balls and tofu pudding, was stunned when she heard the voice.
"I pay my respects to the princess and the concubine." Shen Lingshu quickly put down her things and paid her respects.
"My aunt is in poor health, so there is no need to perform the ceremony."
Princess Lingzhao looked at her bulging belly and didn't dare to get close. As she was her second brother's only child, she still knew what was important. She looked at the things on her table curiously.
Shen Lingshu immediately said: "This is some food that I have thought of myself. Your Highness, would you like to try it?"
"My aunt is so kind, so please try it." Princess Lingzhao retracted her gaze and waited for the thing to be held in her hand. There was a rich milky aroma, and the three colors of things that looked like glutinous rice balls but were not like glutinous rice balls.
Shen Lingshu introduced: "This is taro balls with tofu pudding, with milk added. The three colors of taro balls are made from taro, sweet potato, and purple sweet potato."
“No wonder it smells like milk.” Princess Lingzhao took a bite. She never knew that ordinary tofu pudding could be eaten in so many different ways. After a while, she finished it.
Concubine Fang at the side also tasted it and sneered inwardly: Do you really think that everything will be fine if you are pregnant with twins?
"How did you know it was me? Have you seen me?" Princess Lingzhao asked curiously. Her eyes fell on Shen Lingshu's porcelain-white skin, bright eyes and charming gaze. Such a beautiful face really makes people jealous!
