The glass room in Yonghe Palace is always regulated according to the weather, so the plants inside are basically in a state of maturity all year round.
Generally, Mingxiu can eat whatever she wants.
On this day, in a small corner of the rear hall of Yonghe Palace, Mingxiu sat on a stool with a watermelon in her arms, scooping it out with a spoon.
Behind her, Yu Lan looked at her mistress with a helpless expression, wanting to cry but unable to find the words to persuade her. She could only watch as her mistress let her eat.
If my empress were to actually experience any health problems after eating this, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to forgive myself, let alone anything else.
Mingxiu's body tends to be hot during her pregnancy, so she only wants to eat cold things. However, Lvzhu won't let her eat, so Mingxiu has no choice but to eat secretly.
"Your Majesty, you really can't eat anymore. The imperial physician said that watermelon is cold in nature, and eating too much will be bad for your stomach."
"Oh, Yulan, relax. I know my own body. Don't worry, I'm fine." Mingxiu waved her hand, saying nonchalantly.
She genuinely felt fine. She hadn't felt unwell since becoming pregnant, not even experiencing morning sickness. Mingxiu had been a little worried after seeing other pregnant women vomiting so much, but she hadn't had any symptoms at all.
Everyone says it's because the child is well-behaved and doesn't bother her, but she knows that this is partly true, and partly because she drinks spiritual spring water every day, which makes her body particularly healthy.
But she knew it herself, but others didn't, and Mingxiu couldn't tell anyone, so she could only secretly eat things they weren't allowed to eat.
Besides, watermelon is so refreshing to eat in this weather.
Mingxiu scooped out a large spoonful and stuffed it into her mouth with satisfaction, not forgetting to share half a watermelon with Yulan next to her.
"Your Majesty!"
Mingxiu was enjoying her meal when she heard a familiar voice behind her, and her hand, which was about to put the food in her mouth, stopped.
Yu Lan, who was standing next to her, suddenly stood up.
A slightly trembling voice called out, "Sister Green Bamboo."
Green Bamboo glanced at her, then turned to look at Mingxiu, who paused for a moment before resuming her eating, and said helplessly, "Your Highness, watermelon is cold in nature, you can't eat too much of it. I've told you so many times, but Yulan really doesn't know how to stop you." As she spoke, Green Bamboo took the watermelon from Mingxiu's hand.
Mingxiu swallowed hard; thankfully, she had already eaten most of the watermelon.
She stood up and looked at Green Bamboo: "I told you it's nothing, it's nothing. You're just worried. I know my own body very well."
After patting Luzhu on the shoulder and finishing her sentence, Mingxiu walked straight ahead, not giving Luzhu a chance to say anything more. Yulan, who was watching from the side, also secretly slipped away.
Green Bamboo was left standing helplessly at the crime scene, and she laughed in exasperation.
That evening, Mingxiu had no appetite for the food on the table. She poked at the rice but didn't want to eat. She secretly glanced at Green Bamboo, who was standing next to her with a dark face.
She ate too much watermelon in the afternoon and now has no appetite at all, but with Green Bamboo standing next to her, she can't say anything, even though she clearly said in the afternoon that watermelon has no effect on her.
Mingxiu understood Lüzhu's feelings. After all, Lüzhu had been on edge ever since Mingxiu became pregnant, fearing that someone might harm her.
Indeed, it's true that Mingxiu had recently sifted out too many harmful things from the palace, including all sorts of things like fans made from poisoned silk threads, scented quilts, flowers that weren't poisonous but whose two plants clashed when placed together, and food that had been spiked.
It truly opened the eyes of everyone in Yonghe Palace; there's nothing they couldn't do, only things they hadn't thought of.
This really made Green Bamboo very nervous, and she even learned a lot of techniques from her former colleague in charge of poisons in the secret guard team.
well!
Back to the main topic
Mingxiu really didn't want to eat the food on the table. The baby in her belly was quite big now, and it was putting some pressure on her stomach, so she was basically eating small meals frequently and couldn't eat much.
Mingxiu held her stomach and ate for a while, but in the end she really couldn't eat anymore. She asked someone to clear the table, and she didn't want to move. She just sat in the chair to rest for a bit. After she felt that her stomach was no longer full, she prepared to wash up and go to bed.
Green Bamboo glanced at her mistress, but couldn't say anything. In the end, she didn't say anything and prepared to go down and talk to Yu Qing and Yu Lan, saying that it was their fault for always indulging her mistress.
Yu Qing and Yu Lan: ...This is like saying that you don't get anything from your own mistress. You're the one who's been spoiled the most, aren't you?
Emperor Kangxi had already sent someone to tell her that he was busy with something tonight and wouldn't be coming over until very late, so Mingxiu didn't need to wait for him. After washing up, she lay down on the bed and prepared to sleep.
Her sleep quality has always been very good, especially after she became pregnant. She slept for a long time each day. However, after her belly got bigger, Mingxiu became less able to sleep. It was because her belly was too big and it was not easy to turn over. But if she stayed in one position for a long time, her whole body would ache.
She could only change positions every now and then. Luckily, she had a special pillow for pregnant women to sleep on in her room, which made her feel much more comfortable by supporting her belly and back.
Ha ha ha ha
Ha ha ha ha
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please wake up! Are you feeling alright?"
As Green Bamboo called out, Mingxiu gently opened her eyes, only to feel her eyelids become incredibly heavy, and her whole body radiated heat.
There were imperial physicians treating her.
Mingxiu's mind was a little confused; she could only think about the dream she had just had and what was in it.
