The vast mansion only housed three masters: Ran, Jing Ruchen, and Dan Ruo. After the servants were disciplined and the maids were dealt with, the rest of the people also retreated.
So Danruo lived a very comfortable life, except that he was a little bored.
On this day, the Crown Princess sent someone to invite her to her house for a reunion.
A sedan chair was specially prepared for her, and she took the sedan chair all the way to the Crown Princess's courtyard when she entered the Crown Prince's Mansion.
The Crown Princess received her in the small garden. Seeing that Danruo's belly was bigger than hers, the Crown Princess smiled apologetically and said:
"I know you're pregnant with more than one child, probably twins, and they're heavy, so I shouldn't bother you. But I've been feeling a bit dazed lately, and I don't have a close friend to talk to, so the only person I can think of is you."
The higher her position, the lonelier she felt.
She had invited her former good friend to the prince's mansion for a small gathering, but unexpectedly she had the intention of seducing the prince, fell into his arms, and eventually entered the mansion to become a concubine. She became completely cold-hearted and no longer had much contact with her former good friend.
Dan Ruo saw that she did not look well. That was impossible, as he had left her a sachet containing his own spiritual energy.
Dan Ruo stepped forward and took the Crown Princess's hand, saying playfully:
"Sister, why would you think so? You already recognize me as your sister, how can it be a bother? I miss you so much, too."
The Crown Princess looked at her eyes that were still as clear as water, and she would not fawn on her just because she was the Crown Princess.
And now that she has the support of the Yingguo Mansion, she can still remain pure. It seems that she is willing to tell her anything.
"When Concubine Su became pregnant, I was always worried about which of us would give birth to a son first. My mother also helped me find a reliable midwife to come and see me. She said that I was pregnant with a son, so I was relieved.
But I've been feeling rather distracted lately, even though I'm fine and the servants around me are taking good care of me."
Dan Ruo looked at the anxious Crown Princess and said soothingly:
"Sister, let me take your pulse."
Dan Ruo seemed to be taking the pulse, but in fact he was using his spiritual power to explore the condition of the fetus and the surrounding environment.
Sure enough, the peony not far from the Crown Princess exuded a scent that did not belong to peony. She stood up and walked to the peony and picked off the pollen that did not belong to it.
Seeing her strange behavior, the Crown Princess thought to herself that these flowers had been checked by the imperial physician and the nanny and were sent in only after they were confirmed to be harmless to pregnant women.
Could it be that someone had tampered with the small garden in his yard?
After realizing this, the Crown Princess became anxious:
"Ruo'er, you're pregnant too. If this pollen has been tampered with, put it down immediately. I'll call the imperial physician."
Dan Ruo washed his hands with clean water, supported the Crown Princess and walked away, saying carefully:
"Peony contains poinsettia pollen. If you smell poinsettia too much, it can cause nervous disorders in pregnant women, which can affect the health of you and your baby."
The Crown Princess asked worriedly, "How is the baby in my belly? I've been experiencing these symptoms for about a month."
Dan Ruo shook her head and said, "Don't worry, sister. The little grandson is safe and sound."
The sachet I gave to the Crown Princess has been keeping out the invasion of these evil creatures, but the dosage this time was too large, so the Crown Princess had an uncomfortable reaction.
The Crown Princess said thankfully, "That's good."
This child is so important to her.
She called her trusted imperial physician to handle the matter on the spot. The physician listened and took the Crown Princess's pulse, and was very puzzled:
"If the Crown Princess had stayed in such an environment for such a long time, the little prince would have miscarried long ago. Unexpectedly, the Crown Princess was blessed with good fortune. The little prince's pulse is now normal, but the Crown Princess was affected."
The Crown Princess remembered that she had been carrying the sachet given by Dan Ruo. She had wondered a while ago why the scent of the sachet had faded, but she didn't expect that it was the sachet that protected her child.
She held Danruo's hand and burst into tears:
"You've helped me again. I don't know how to thank you. How about we make a deal? If one of your twins is a boy, we'll be brothers. If one is a girl, we'll get married."
Dan Ruo shook her head. She was not pregnant with twins. She smiled gently.
"Sister, let the children decide their own affairs. The little grandson can choose his own life in the future."
The Crown Princess was not angry. Since they couldn't become in-laws anyway, she was still the aunt of Danruo's children.
Seeing that the Crown Princess had to take care of household chores, Danruo said goodbye and returned home.
But later I heard that Concubine Su, who was pregnant in the Prince's Mansion, was not only confined to her house, but also demoted to a concubine.
The days fly by like flowing water.
During the entire pregnancy, except for her overly large belly, Dan Ruo did not experience any other pregnancy reactions. Her complexion was fair and rosy, and she looked as lovely as a peach.
On the contrary, Jing Ruchen felt like vomiting after eating anything for several months, and he lost a lot of weight. Jing Ruchen didn't understand why.
Ran sighed in her heart. She just knew that there was more than one baby and felt that her daughter-in-law was having a hard time during the pregnancy, so she prayed to all the gods and Buddhas to let her daughter-in-law suffer less.
He accidentally muttered that his son was thick-skinned and it didn't matter if he suffered.
Unexpectedly, it really affected her son. Ran felt guilty and dared not speak.
Fortunately, the time has finally come. As soon as Danruo entered the delivery room, she ordered someone to go to the yamen to call Jing Ruchen.
She was pacing anxiously outside.
Although she knew that the midwife, wet nurse and nanny in the room had been preparing for several months, the female doctor and the imperial physician were also waiting on the side, and century-old ginseng and various precious medicinal materials were also prepared in advance in case of any emergency.
But giving birth is a daunting task. She had only given birth to one child, and suffered greatly, but her daughter-in-law gave birth to more than one this time.
