Ruyi replied, "Master, he said he caught a cold at the beginning of winter and has been ill on and off ever since, but it has been getting better and worse. Yesterday, it suddenly got worse and he had a high fever. The imperial physician went and the fever only subsided this morning."
Ning Yuxi nodded to show that she understood, and told Ruyi, "Go to the warehouse and get some supplements to send over."
Ruyi nodded in agreement, thought for a moment and asked, "Master, do you want to go and take a look?"
Ning Yuxi thought for a moment and said, "No, you go get the things and send them over."
A few days ago, after the Queen's pregnancy was stabilized, Ning Yuxi took the initiative to hand over the power of managing the harem to the Queen. Firstly, she was too lazy to manage it, and secondly, even if the Queen made a mistake, the punishment she had received was enough, not to mention that the Queen was pregnant now.
After she told the emperor about it, the emperor did not object, and the matter was settled naturally.
In this case, what status does she have to visit the eldest prince? Besides, if she goes, she won't get involved in any trouble. Besides, the queen doesn't get along with her. Now that the eldest prince's condition has stabilized, it's better for her not to go.
Ruyi retreated in response.
Luoying, who was standing by, also felt that there was no need for her master to go, so she didn't say anything. The master and servant concentrated on making Laba porridge.
At the same time in Chonghua Palace.
The queen sat by the bed and looked at the eldest prince who was still sleeping with a pale face. She couldn't help but frown, and her worry was beyond words.
Rong Xin, who was standing by, consoled him, "Your Majesty, the eldest prince's condition has stabilized. Don't worry too much. Take care of yourself."
The Empress is less than three months pregnant now, and it is time to be careful. The Empress has been guarding the eldest prince from the time he had a high fever yesterday until the fever subsided this morning. How can her body bear this?
The Queen's eyes were red and she blamed herself as she said, "It's all my fault. I was so distracted by the pregnancy and the harem that I didn't pay attention to Chengxuan's health. That's why he suffered so much."
The eldest prince had been told by the imperial physician to take good care of himself since he recovered from the poisoning, and the queen had been taking good care of him, but since she became pregnant, she had been busy taking care of the baby.
Some time ago, she regained the power to manage the harem. She didn't take good care of Chengxuan, which caused her to catch a cold and suffer so much. She couldn't help but blame herself.
Rong Xin continued to comfort her, "Don't worry, Your Majesty. The eldest prince is already well. The servants are here to take care of him. You should go and have a rest.
Even if it's not for yourself, think about the little prince in your belly. The emperor repeatedly told you to take good care of yourself when he went to court this morning.
Upon hearing this, the queen raised her hand and gently stroked her lower abdomen. She then wiped her slightly red eyes and told Rong Xin to take good care of the eldest prince before reluctantly going to rest.
New Year's Eve came in the blink of an eye. The eldest prince's condition had stabilized since the eighth day of the first lunar month. The queen had taken good care of him and now he seemed to be well. The queen now had the energy to prepare the New Year's Eve palace banquet.
At the palace banquet, Ning Yuxi was watching over Cheng Yao and Shu Xuan, the two little ones, and telling them to behave themselves, lest they run away again or do something outrageous if she made a mistake.
There's no way. These two little guys have never had a moment's rest since they learned to walk and run. They are very energetic. A few days ago, when the emperor came to her palace, the two little guys accidentally pulled the jade pendant on the emperor's waist and broke it.
Fortunately, the emperor was cheerful and didn't blame anyone. There was nothing he could do about his own child, but today was a palace banquet, with so many relatives, important ministers, and princes of the royal family. If he offended them, he wouldn't be able to say anything on the surface, but what if they held a grudge against him behind his back?
But those two little guys were fearless and no one could control them, except for her, the old mother, and little Chengzhao. Ning Yuxi could only stare at the two kids closely and for a moment she didn't notice that someone on the other side had started a fight again.
For some reason, Concubine Lan, who has been favored here for several months, has returned to her habit of showing off at this palace banquet.
Sitting behind her, Shen Changzai looked at the gorgeous gold-inlaid jade hairpin she was wearing and praised, "Sister Lan, the hairpin on your head is really beautiful. I have never seen such an exquisite hairpin."
Concubine Lan stroked the hairpin on her bun with a look of satisfaction, and suddenly said shyly, "Oh, my sister, you have a really good eye. This was just given to me by the Emperor the other day. He said it was specially made by a skilled craftsman. This style is unique."
These words attracted more envy.
After hearing this, Concubine Lan felt relieved all over, and the smugness on her face became even more unconcealable.
She looked around proudly, and her gaze stopped on Concubine Lian who was calmly drinking tea. These days, the Emperor visited her and Concubine Lian the most, apart from the Empress and Concubine Yi.
She entered the palace with Concubine Lian, so she couldn't help but compete with her. Moreover, the other party's family background was better than hers. She also heard that it was the emperor himself who chose her during the selection, so she was naturally jealous of her.
Seeing that everyone was complimenting her, except for that noble lady Lian, who looked indifferent and indifferent, she felt that they were looking down on her and slapping her in the face, so she couldn't help but say:
"Sister Lian, why don't you talk to the sisters and liven things up? Today is New Year's Eve, and it's the perfect time for fun. Are you looking down on the sisters?"
Hearing the other party turn the conversation to herself, Concubine Lian frowned slightly. She really didn't want to have any contact with Concubine Lan, who was ostentatious when she was in power and had no dignity at all.
"Lady Lan, you're joking. We're all the emperor's concubines, so there's no point in looking down on each other. It's just that I'm not very good with words, and I can't speak as well as you, my younger sister."
Hearing this, Lady Lan smiled and said, "Sister, you are being too modest. Everyone knows that you were very eloquent during the selection in September and caught the Emperor's eye. How can you say that you are tongue-tied?"
Hearing her mention the matter of the beauty pageant, Consort Lian was even more displeased and didn't want to talk to her anymore. She just said lightly: "Sister, you are joking. Actually, I have been feeling unwell these days, so I am too lazy to talk."
Concubine Lian didn't want to talk to her, so she used the excuse of feeling unwell, but she still persisted. Concubine Lan listened to her and asked with concern, "Sister, are you feeling unwell? Is it serious? Otherwise, why don't you ask the imperial physician to take a look?"
Lady Lian was really impatient to talk to her, but the other party looked concerned about her, so she didn't know what to say. She just smiled and said, "Nothing, just a little discomfort."
Concubine Lan seemed relieved at this, but the next moment she suddenly frowned again: "So it's because of this. But we can't be careless. This matter is very important to us women. I don't know why, sister, this month is almost over, and the baby hasn't come yet."
