Chapter 106: The Nobleman's Morning Sickness
"How is it? Has the people from Jiangxuexuan made any moves today?" Su Qingrong asked.
Qinglian exchanged glances with her attendants, dismissing the palace maids before replying, "Your Majesty, everything went smoothly. Concubine Shen should have had her period a few days ago, but the clothes she sent to the laundry department didn't show any signs of bleeding. I've also observed that Jiangxuexuan requested a lot of blood-tonifying meals yesterday. I think they just thought her period was irregular and didn't notice anything else."
Su Qingrong nodded, inserted a ruby hairpin into her bun, looked around, and a smile appeared at the corner of her lips.
"Very good, there will be something interesting to watch at the morning meeting today."
At Roufu Palace, people arrived one after another.
When Jiang Yingli entered the hall, she saw Su Qingrong and was very surprised.
She was always the last one to arrive, but today the sun rose from the west.
Su Qingrong also looked up and met Jiang Yingli's gaze.
She glanced at Jiang Yingli indifferently, then looked away. Compared to before, there was much less hatred in her eyes towards Jiang Yingli.
Jiang Yingli naturally noticed that Su Qingrong had become much quieter during this period of time.
But she always felt that there was something fishy behind this calmness.
Over there, Concubine Song, who was sitting in the main seat, had already started speaking.
"The Clothing Bureau will begin making winter clothes for each palace starting today. No matter what color or style you prefer, someone will come to your palace with a brochure to help you choose. So take a good look at it. Don't come crying to me when you're not satisfied with the finished clothes. I don't have the heart to care about you."
All the concubines knew that Concubine Song was the most impatient, so they nodded in agreement.
Song Wanyan glanced down and was about to say that they could all go home if nothing happened, when suddenly a sound of retching was heard in the quiet hall.
In an instant, everyone's eyes turned to the source of the sound.
I saw that in the middle seat on the left, Concubine Shen was not sitting as dignified as usual. She was hunched over, her face was a little pale, and she was covering her mouth with a handkerchief in one hand.
Cui Sheng patted her back and said, "My lady, are you feeling very uncomfortable?"
Chen Zhuxin had already noticed the gazes coming towards her from all directions out of the corner of her eye. She shook her head and sat up straight.
A barely perceptible smile flashed across Su Qingrong's lips.
Concubine Song watched for a moment, then remembered she should show some concern and asked, "Noble Lady Shen, what's wrong with you?"
"Please forgive me, Empress Song. I'm sorry for my impoliteness. Perhaps I didn't eat carefully last night, so I feel a little uncomfortable in my stomach."
"In that case, let's go home today and you should go back and rest early," said Concubine Song.
Chen Zhuxin was about to respond, but she couldn't suppress the feeling of nausea. She covered her mouth with her handkerchief again and began to retch violently.
Concubine Song was startled, "Quick, Hanlu, get a spittoon for Concubine Shen."
Jiang Yingli looked at the mess around Chen Zhuxin and couldn't help but feel confused.
Why are you vomiting so much?
Su Qingrong looked around at the people who were watching the excitement, and a look of disgust flashed in her eyes.
They were indeed a group of young girls who had never served a bed before, and no one thought about morning sickness.
She has to do it herself.
So, Su Qingrong spoke in her usual arrogant tone, in a sarcastic tone:
"If you're not feeling well, don't come to the morning meeting. You've made such a big fuss. People who know you have an upset stomach might think you're pregnant."
One stone can cause a thousand ripples.
Regardless of whether everyone looked at Chen Zhuxin with confusion or concern just now, there was now a hint of shock in their eyes.
Morning sickness?
Doesn’t that mean there is a royal heir?
Oh my God, if this is true, then this is the first child of the current emperor.
If it's a princess, she will be the eldest princess. If it's a prince, it will be even more amazing, because the mother will be honored because of her son!
Everyone's expressions became interesting, and they kept looking at Chen Zhuxin. There was envy, suspicion, and something indescribable in their eyes.
Everyone couldn't help but secretly look at Jiang Yingli.
You know, Empress Chongyi served the emperor for four years without a child, and now she's going to let someone else take the prize...
I don’t know what Empress Chongyi feels.
When Jiang Yingli heard about morning sickness, she was stunned and it took her a while to come back to her senses.
Morning sickness...
Really...
