Chapter 37 Surprise, Accident
"Yes." Pu Qiongzhi responded.
Ru Fei narrowed her eyes, "Does she think that there is no one left in our Nangong family?"
"Hua'er is really something. She is always being stepped on by others!" She couldn't help but complain.
In the eyes of the Nangong family, Nangong Hua's temperament was the least compatible with their family.
They are all rough warriors, but he is the only one who sings about the wind and the moon, and is not concerned with the worldly affairs... He imitates the attitude of the literati.
Pu Qiongzhi felt that the personalities of this family were all very weird.
They clearly care about each other, but they are stubborn and refuse to speak frankly. They clearly don't mean to blame each other, but their words hurt others...
But compared to those who smile but hide a knife behind their backs and scheme behind the scenes, they are already doing very well among the aristocratic families in Kyoto Prefecture.
"My lord, you will certainly not allow me to be bullied." Pu Qiongzhi explained for Nangong Hua.
Nangong Jiayu couldn't stand it any longer and complained to her aunt, "My aunt is working so hard. She has to do the accounting and make money every day, and also take care of our family! My uncle doesn't care about anything!"
Hearing her nephew's complaint, Nangong Han felt extremely guilty towards Pu Qiongzhi.
Before, she had been so angry and scared her, but she didn't expect that her whole family would cause her so much trouble.
She naturally knew that it was not easy for her, a young lady from a merchant family, to get to where she is today.
Not to mention having to take care of their careless relatives...
Nangong Han looked at Pu Qiongzhi with some shame, "Marrying into my family is also an injustice to you. Remember from now on, I am your backer! As long as I am not in trouble, there will be someone to support you!"
"If anyone with a black heart and no eyes bullies you, just use your hands and your mouth, don't be polite! Otherwise, come and complain! I will take care of it for you!"
"Thank you, aunt. I am not miserable because you love me so much." Pu Qiongzhi smiled.
This is more like it! She spent a lot of money to treat her as a favorite concubine, so there should be some reward, right?
Seeing her smile, Nangong Jiayu grabbed the hem of her clothes and raised her little face.
He is not ungrateful. His good life is given by his aunt.
His aunt was so kind to him, he always remembered it!
As long as his aunt is happy, he is happy!
Nangong Yue stood aside without saying anything, but he was a sensitive boy.
He knew that his sister-in-law was kind to their family, and the meals her family prepared were also very delicious...
Nangong Han specially invited them to have dinner in the palace this time.
However, even the imperial chefs in the palace couldn’t cure Nangong Yue’s illness.
Pu Qiongzhi speculated that it was the chefs' cooking habits that caused some lingering odor.
No one else could taste it, but the strange smell was infinitely magnified by Nangong Yue, making it intolerable for him and he could only starve.
Therefore, when he forced himself to eat, the unpleasant smell caused him discomfort and he would vomit.
"How can you pull a bow and arrow when you're so delicate?" Nangong Han said helplessly, "My father and brother were on the battlefield, so they ate whatever they wanted."
Nangong Jiayu ate a few bites of bones and said, "It's okay. Granny Qian will make cakes for Fourth Uncle, and he eats them so deliciously!"
"..." Upon hearing this, Nangong Yue blushed and couldn't raise her head.
Afterwards, Pu Qiongzhi and Nangong Han saw him silently taking out a piece of cake from his purse and chewing it.
"..." Nangong Han looked as if she couldn't bear to watch, and smiled awkwardly at Pu Qiongzhi, "You still have a way, thank you for taking the trouble."
Pu Qiongzhi waved her hands repeatedly, "This is not my arrangement."
"When Granny Qian was cooking, Fourth Uncle kept squatting beside her and watching. Granny Qian then baked him a pancake with the leftover ingredients from breakfast." Nangong Jiayu added again.
He didn't care about his fourth uncle's face at all and just started to sabotage him.
Nangong Yue felt aggrieved.
How come he happened to see it?
"Haha, it's okay, as long as I'm not hungry!" Nangong Han laughed.
But just as they were having their meal, Nangong Han suddenly felt unwell and started vomiting continuously.
"What's wrong? Your Majesty, are you feeling unwell?" The palace maid beside her hurried forward.
Pu Qiongzhi casually pointed at a palace maid and said, "Go, call the imperial physician."
"Someone wants to harm me!" Nangong Han's face was pale, and she pulled Pu Qiongzhi's sleeve nervously.
Pu Qiongzhi's face was calm. "Your Majesty, don't panic. Let the imperial physician take your pulse first."
"Don't worry, I'm here to watch over you!"
Not long after, the imperial physician hurried over.
Pu Qiongzhi didn't expect that even the emperor was alarmed.
"How is Concubine Ru?" He hurried in and went straight to Nangong Han's bed.
Everyone stood up and bowed to him. He waved his hand nonchalantly and said, "I want to ask how Concubine Ru is feeling."
"In reply to your Majesty, Concubine Ru is pregnant!" The imperial physician slowly breathed a sigh of relief.
When the emperor is angry, millions of people will die and blood will flow for thousands of miles.
If they are not careful, their entire family will be buried with this master.
"What did you say?" The emperor had never expected that at his age, he could have such a happy event.
Pu Qiongzhi's eyes flashed, and she suddenly looked up at Nangong Han.
She had never thought of making Concubine Ru pregnant, and it was really difficult to do.
But now there is such an unexpected thing, I don’t know whether to be happy or sad.
She looked at Concubine Ru, wanting to gauge her attitude before making her decision...
When Nangong Han learned that she was pregnant, she was surprised at first, but then a look of worry appeared on her face.
The imperial physician beside him reminded her at the right moment, "Your Majesty's pregnancy is not yet stable. Your health has been very poor over the years. You must not worry too much, as it may harm the fetus."
"My beloved concubine looks worried, but is there something wrong?" The emperor hurried over and grabbed her hand, but his eyes swept over the three people who were standing aside with lowered brows and a pleasant look.
Nangong Han leaned against the emperor and said, "I'm fine. I'm just afraid when I think of how young the child is..."
"Don't be afraid, my beloved concubine. I am here. No wonder, my beloved concubine is still a child herself!" The emperor coaxed her softly, and at this moment he was extremely obedient.
At his age, he was naturally overjoyed to have a son.
In the early years, Concubine Ru entered the palace to serve him. However, at that time, she was stubborn and arrogant, and was involved in a storm...
He was angry that she refused to give in, and in order to protect her, he confined her to her room.
Some time ago, he saw her dancing in the Imperial Garden. He was delighted that she could humble herself and naturally wanted to pamper her more.
But she didn't expect that this favor would be out of control, and now she is pregnant with the dragon heir!
"This is a great joyous event and should be announced to the world!" The emperor was in high spirits at this moment.
After hearing what he said, Nangong Han said, "Thank you, Your Majesty. However, my pregnancy is still unstable, so I'd better wait a little longer."
"Okay, I'll do as my beloved concubine wishes!" The emperor now obeyed her every word and turned around to order, "Pass on my decree. Promote Concubine Ru to Imperial Concubine. The promotion ceremony will be held after she gives birth tomorrow!"
