Chapter 180 Pregnancy



This kind of argument will ultimately lead nowhere.

The Crown Princess will not help Consort Ye, but she will also not openly help Consort Luo.

So in the end, it was left unresolved.

After the Crown Princess and the others left, she sneered, "The Ye family is getting worse every day. Since the miscarriage, His Highness hasn't stayed overnight at all, has he? And he's still courting death like this."

“Yes, she can’t see clearly,” Mrs. He said.

Actually, His Highness went once, but the Crown Princess probably forgot, so there was no need for her to remind her.

"Shouldn't the imperial physician be here by now?" the Crown Princess asked again.

"Yes, it should be soon. Why don't you take a break?" Su Jin said with a smile.

The Crown Princess nodded, but instead of resting, she got up and walked to the door: "The weather has been quite nice these past few days."

Although it's winter, it's not very cold.

Physician Hu arrived shortly afterward.

After paying his respects, he also noticed the Crown Princess's urgency.

So he quickly took her pulse.

After carefully switching hands, Physician Hu stood up and said, "Congratulations, Your Highness, you are over a month pregnant. Your pulse is stable now; you just need to take good care of yourself."

The Crown Princess smiled; she knew, of course, that she might be pregnant.

If your period is seven or eight days late, it's time to have your pulse checked; that's when you should know the time.

"Thank you for your trouble, Physician Hu. As you know, I had a miscarriage last time due to an unstable pregnancy. This time, please don't make a fuss about it. I'll go and tell Your Highness," the Crown Princess said.

"Yes, Your Highness the Crown Princess will do as you say," Physician Hu hurriedly replied.

The Crown Princess ordered that Physician Hu be richly rewarded and that he be sent away.

It wasn't just the Crown Princess who was asking for a pulse reading.

There were also two concubines, three ladies-in-waiting, and a pregnant lady named Kim Bong-yi.

Normally, it would be impossible for Jin Fengyi to trouble the imperial physician to take her pulse.

Even if one is ill, one can call the imperial physician, but taking one's pulse daily is not a rule that a concubine should follow.

It's just that pregnancy is a special time.

After Yan Nan returned here, Physician Hu took her pulse and said, "There's nothing wrong with Consort Liang's health. It's just that it's cold now, so she needs to keep warm. Continue to eat nourishing foods, but don't overdo it; restoring health takes time."

"Doctor Hu, is our Lady Liang's health not improving?" Chanyi asked cautiously.

Physician Hu was taken aback, but immediately understood.

"Lady Liang's health is much better than at the beginning of the year. She just needs to take good care of herself. As for... as for other things, those can't be rushed. She needs to recover. If Lady Liang is truly scheming, I can prescribe some medicine... but she still needs to rest and it won't have any immediate effects..."

"It's alright, as long as you get better." Yan Nangui glanced at Chanyi, then looked at Physician Hu: "Don't give me any random medicines."

"Yes." Physician Hu thought to himself, this one is quite calm.

In the front yard, since Shu Chengfeng was not present, Physician Hu did not linger and left. He merely remarked that everyone in the back yard was perfectly fine.

That evening, the Crown Prince had just returned when he was summoned by the Crown Princess.

The Crown Princess naturally shared her good news, adding, "I've asked Physician Hu to keep this a secret. This time, I will certainly give birth to Your Highness's child properly."

Shu Chengfeng understood and nodded, "Thank you for your hard work."

The Crown Princess, with tears in her eyes, said, "I am not tired. As long as I can give birth to Your Highness's child, I will be happy no matter what."

"Alright, then take good care of yourself. I'll do whatever you say," Shu Chengfeng said with a smile.

Although he didn't say it to anyone, Shu Chengfeng still bestowed many gifts upon the Crown Princess.

The people in the backyard didn't know why, but it wasn't the first time the main courtyard had been rewarded; perhaps the Crown Prince was just happy.

However, Ning Chenghui felt something was amiss.

Inside Mingyue Pavilion, Ning Chenghui was drinking a cup of hot ginger tea.

She gently blew on the air: "Today, the imperial physician took the prince's pulse. His Highness went to the main courtyard as soon as he returned home, but he was still invited there. He hasn't left yet, so he must be staying overnight. Did the Crown Princess receive any rewards?"

Hongdou was taken aback: "You mean..."

"It's hard to say right now, but don't you find it strange?" Ning Chenghui finished drinking and put down the bowl.

"It is a bit strange, but... maybe not?" Hongdou said uncertainly.

“If we’re unsure, we should investigate. Let’s find out tomorrow. See when my sister changed her clothes this month,” Ning Chenghui said.

Hongdou agreed, took the empty bowl out and handed it to the maid in the outer room. Then she came back in to serve.

Ning Chenghui wasn't the only one who sensed something was wrong.

In Wangchun Pavilion, Consort Su was also pondering this question.

"That's easy to find out. I'll inquire carefully tomorrow. We should have results in a few days. But if it really is true, I'm afraid Consort Ye will be furious," Fu'er said with a smile.

"If it's true, we'll naturally tell our Lady Ye first," Lady Su said with a smile.

“Consort, have you thought about what you will do after you enter the palace?” Fu’er squatted down and looked up at Consort Su.

"Hmm? Fu'er, is there anything you want to say?" Su Tong looked at her maid, who was brought from her maternal family and was naturally loyal.

"This servant has a selfish wish; I hope you will sit in the highest place." Fu'er smiled. "In the past, perhaps that was not possible. But now, judging from my perspective, it's hard to say."

“Although the Ning family is noble, they have lost His Highness the Crown Prince’s heart. As for Consort Ye, someone like her is impossible,” Fu’er said.

“Fu’er, you’re being naive. Those people in the backyard all come from good families.” Su Tong smiled.

“That’s why it’s difficult to balance either one, but your family background is just average. Even so… so it’s not necessarily a matter of no chance,” Fu’er said.

"You're overthinking it." Su Liangdi took a deep breath. "Don't say things like that in the future."

Fu'er quickly agreed and kowtowed, "This servant remembers."

"I can't think that far ahead. But... I can't have been a concubine for nothing." Concubine Su smiled.

The next day, the Crown Princess was in a good mood early in the morning.

She was pregnant and had even kept the prince for one night, so naturally she was overjoyed.

Some people are aware of the situation, but most are still unaware.

It was getting cold, so after exchanging greetings, everyone hurriedly went home.

The sky was overcast, and it looked like it was going to snow. It was late October, so snow was quite normal.

"It looks like it's going to snow, so let's move the flowers that are afraid of the cold to the inside," Shuanzi said as Yan Nan returned.

"Why bother? Just light a stove in an empty room, isn't that enough?"

“Your Highness, even if we light the stoves, the areas near the windows will still get cold. We can’t keep several stoves burning. I’d better move them,” said Shuanzi.

"Then let's move them. These hothouse flowers are such a hassle." The worst part is that they were all given to us by the Crown Prince.

It's not good to just ignore whether they live or die.

"You should go inside first; it looks like it's going to snow," Chanyi said.

"Hmm, it's not cold. You guys pack up, I'll paint." The day after Shu Chengfeng came, he brought over a huge pile of paints.
