Unbeknownst to the sleeping Yin Qingyi, in just half an hour, she had already gained an ally.
Yin Qingyi didn't sleep very well. She kept having dreams, but she couldn't remember what she dreamed about or what she did in her dreams. When she woke up, she was exhausted, as if she had fought with someone instead of sleeping.
"Didn't you sleep well, Princess?" Granny Naqi asked, looking at Yin Qingyi's tired expression.
"Yes, I've been dreaming." Yin Qingyi nodded, her voice slightly hoarse.
"It's normal to have many dreams during pregnancy. We can have the royal physician prescribe some calming medicine for the princess." Granny Naqi nodded, indicating that this symptom was normal.
"...You should drink less of these pregnancy medications." Yin Qingyi didn't expect that even in a dream she would be forced to drink medicine, and her lips twitched.
"Don't worry, Princess, this calming medicine isn't bitter. But what you said makes sense, so let's wait and see. If you don't dream often afterward, you won't need to drink it." The nanny already knew from Chunlan that Yin Qingyi was afraid of taking medicine, and she could tell what Yin Qingyi was thinking just by looking at her expression.
"Hmm." Yin Qingyi nodded, not wanting to discuss this topic with Granny Naqi.
It was lunchtime, and Feng Qing had already gone to the front yard. Yin Qingyi felt like a pig waiting to be slaughtered, eating and sleeping all day long. But it was too cold to go outside, and she might slip and fall and be in big trouble. Besides, she wasn't very far along in her pregnancy, so it didn't really matter whether she walked around or not. It was only in the later stages that she needed to walk around more often so that she could give birth more easily.
By the time she gave birth, it was already June or July of the following year. The weather was hot then, and postpartum care was a major challenge. The more Yin Qingyi thought about it, the more irritable she became. By the time lunch was served, she had no appetite.
After picking and choosing what to eat, I put down my chopsticks.
"Is the food not to your liking?" Granny Qi frowned as she watched. Eating so little is not good. Even an adult would eat too little, let alone someone who is pregnant.
"No, I just suddenly lost my appetite." Yin Qingyi shook her head.
"Princess, please eat some more. The baby in your belly needs to eat too," Granny Naqi gently advised.
"Yes, Princess, if there's anything you'd like to eat, just say so, and I'll have the kitchen prepare it." Qiuju also looked at Yin Qingyi with concern. The elders who followed her knew very well what the Princess's appetite was; she ate so little, barely enough to fill her stomach normally.
"..." Yin Qingyi knew they were right after hearing what they said, so she had no choice but to bite the bullet and stuff some more in. But she didn't know what she ate wrong, because she vomited it all up, along with everything she had just swallowed. She kept vomiting, even bringing up bitter saliva.
In an instant, the entire Luoxuexuan was in chaos.
After Yin Qingyi felt better after vomiting, Granny Qi quickly brought her a cup of warm water to rinse her mouth.
"Phew~" After rinsing her mouth and drinking a few sips of warm water, Yin Qingyi felt like she had come back to life. She had almost thought she was going to say goodbye to this world after vomiting.
"Your Highness is almost three months pregnant, why is your morning sickness still so severe?" Granny Naqi patted Yin Qingyi's back, her tone puzzled.
"Granny doesn't know, the princess never had morning sickness before yesterday. This morning sickness started yesterday," Qiuju replied while tidying up.
"Has the royal physician been summoned to examine this?"
"We have consulted the physician. He said that this might just be the princess's constitution, but the morning sickness symptoms should disappear in about a month or two," Qiuju nodded in reply.
"Do you have any dried fruit prepared?" Granny Qi knew that such fruit was available; she had seen it before, and only then did she feel relieved.
"Yes, the physician mentioned it yesterday," Chunlan replied from the side.
"Go and get some more, and take these dishes away," Granny Naqi said calmly.
After Chunlan brought the dried fruit, Yin Qingyi miraculously wanted to eat it. Thinking this, Yin Qingyi picked it up and took a bite. Hmm, she didn't feel like vomiting. Instead, she felt like her appetite had been stimulated again.
"Granny, I... I want to eat something." Yin Qingyi was a little embarrassed. She wanted to eat as soon as the dishes were taken away, but her stomach was rumbling. She felt uncomfortable if she didn't eat.
"Feng Qing, go quickly to the kitchen and see if there's anything there. Go and come back quickly." Granny Naqi was happy. She wasn't afraid that the princess would suddenly want to eat, but she was afraid that the princess wouldn't want to eat.
"Yes." Feng Qing was also happy. She hurriedly ran outside. Fortunately, the snow in the yard had already been shoveled away, otherwise she might have slipped and fallen in her haste.
But by this time, the kitchen was completely empty, and Feng Qing was so anxious that she was about to cry. Then Zhao Baolai, who happened to be passing by, saw her and brought her before Yinzhen.
"What are you doing in the kitchen at this hour?" Yinzhen asked, looking at Feng Qing kneeling below.
"Reporting to Your Highness, the Princess vomited again during lunch. She hadn't eaten much to begin with, and it all came out in one go. Then, the nanny gave her some dried fruit, and after that, the Princess wanted to eat again. That's why I came to the kitchen to see if there was anything left to eat, but it turns out there's nothing left. That's why I'm in such a hurry," Feng Qing replied quickly. She hadn't even taken the food back to the Princess yet, and what if she lost her appetite again if she was late?
"Su Peisheng, go to the kitchen and tell them to quickly prepare some of the things that Lady Yin likes to eat and send them over." Yinzhen immediately ordered Su Peisheng after hearing this.
"Yes, this servant will go immediately." Su Peisheng bowed and was about to leave.
"Wait a minute, and have the kitchen prepare meals for Lady Yin every day from now on, so she can eat whenever she wants." Yinzhen called out to Su Peisheng and gave him another instruction, regardless of how difficult it would be for the kitchen staff to do so.
"Yes." Su Peisheng then withdrew, his heart filled with admiration for this Lady Yin. He had never seen his master care so much when other princesses were pregnant, not even when the Fujin was pregnant with Prince Honghui. Tsk tsk, this lady is truly blessed.
After watching Su Peisheng leave, Yinzhen originally wanted to call Feng Qing back, but after thinking about it, he got up and went to Luoxue Pavilion with Feng Qing. This little woman had just vomited, and she might be feeling unwell but was just enduring it without saying anything. He felt more at ease going to check on her.
So when Yin Qingyi saw Feng Qing returning with Yinzhen, she was completely bewildered. Wasn't she supposed to be going to get food? Why did she bring Yinzhen back? Was Yinzhen food? She was starving and didn't want to put on an act with this man.
