Chapter 103 The Legend of Zhen Huan: An Lingrong 13
"This Yuanmingyuan is so cool and refreshing, it feels like springtime has come back to us," Siyun said with a look of surprise.
Qingwu glanced at An Lingrong's pale face, which was still somewhat pale after a short rest due to the long journey, and asked with concern, "How are you feeling, Your Highness? Are you feeling unwell?"
"Yes, should we ask the imperial physician to take a look? Your Highness's complexion is rather pale."
Si Yun observed An Lingrong and was also very worried.
The other concubines didn't look this bad after getting off the carriage. It would be better to have them checked by a royal physician to put your mind at ease.
"Okay, let's go order one." An Lingrong smiled weakly and agreed.
"This servant will go find the imperial physician right away. Xiao Zhuozi, come with me!" Siyun led Xiao Zhuozi and rushed out of the bamboo courtyard.
Since she began serving the young mistress, the young mistress, though seemingly frail, had never fallen ill. This sudden illness is extremely worrying!
After an incense stick had burned, Siyun ran into the bamboo courtyard carrying a medicine box, with Doctor Li being pulled along by Xiao Zhuozi.
An Lingrong almost burst out laughing. She had been thinking of calling the imperial physician, but why did Siyun bring Xiao Zhuozi along?
It turned out that there was a difference between men and women, so she couldn't drag the imperial physician away. Instead, she called on Xiao Zhuozi to specifically drag people away.
Upon entering the hall, Imperial Physician Li calmed his breathing and bowed, saying, "Your humble servant pays his respects to Consort Shu."
"Please rise, Physician Li. I am somewhat worried about my health. Please forgive my rudeness."
Because Physician Li had taken An Lingrong's pulse several times, An Lingrong was acquainted with Physician Li.
"It's alright," Physician Li smiled, indicating that he didn't mind.
After taking her pulse, Physician Li said with a happy expression, "Congratulations, Consort Shu! You are pregnant, more than a month along."
"Really!" Si Yun looked at An Lingrong's abdomen in surprise.
Qingwu frowned and asked, "Having endured the long journey, are you and the unborn child alright?"
"It's alright, Consort Shu is just a little tired. I will prescribe a medicine to help with the pregnancy. She will be fine after drinking it for two days."
"That's good. Siyun, go with Physician Li to get the medicine. There's no need to rush this time." An Lingrong looked at Siyun and gave her the important instructions.
I can't be running around like crazy with people this time. If someone sees me, they'll think I'm in big trouble.
"Yes." Si Yun curtsied and smiled apologetically.
Qingwu took out a purse specifically for tipping from a box next to the dressing table, picked out a bulging one, and handed it to Physician Li.
Physician Li accepted the purse. "Your humble servant thanks Your Excellency for the generous gift. I will now take my leave and return to the Imperial Hospital to obtain a prescription and medicine."
"good."
After Physician Li left, An Lingrong looked at Yuan'er and Xiao Zhuozi, "Yuan'er, go to Peach Blossom Village to report the good news to the Empress, and Xiao Zhuozi, go to the Hall of Diligent Governance to report the good news to the Emperor."
"The original palace maids and eunuchs of the Bamboo Courtyard will be given two months' wages, and those brought out from the palace will be given three months' wages."
"Yes, thank you for your generous gift, Your Highness."
After expressing their gratitude, Yuan'er and Xiao Zhuozi went off to report the good news. Their monthly allowance wouldn't fly away, and the tasks assigned by the Empress were more important.
The Emperor had just arrived at the Yuanmingyuan and had other matters to attend to, so he sent Su Peisheng with the gifts and Xiao Zhuozi to the Bamboo Courtyard.
After that, the Empress's rewards and the congratulatory gifts from the concubines in the harem were delivered one after another.
As the mistress, and a pregnant one at that, An Lingrong sat comfortably on the couch, watching Siyun and Qingwu bustling about.
After finishing his work, it was almost time for dinner. The Emperor arrived at the Bamboo Courtyard right on time before dinner.
"This concubine greets Your Majesty."
As soon as An Lingrong bent her knees, the Emperor strode up to her and held her hand, preventing her from bowing.
