“Your Highness, you really don’t need to worry too much!” Liu Hong continued, “This servant also knows that the little prince’s pregnancy is very important, but this servant does not think that Princess Guarjia, as the mother, would not know this. Since she has not raised any objections to you, Your Highness, it means that Princess Guarjia does not think that continuing to busy herself with needlework will affect the little prince’s pregnancy.”
As the background figure, the maid listening to Liu Hong's words couldn't help but inwardly grumble. Princess Guarjia, of course, had no objections; she simply couldn't refuse...
The princess pretended to ponder for a moment, then her worry disappeared, and she smiled and said, "I was overthinking it. Liu Hong, you are right."
"This is truly a virtuous and capable wife!" Liu Hong continued to flatter her.
Background maid: It seems I need to learn a lot from Sister Liu Hong. Her eloquence is truly remarkable; she can turn white into black.
In the Peach Garden, Jiaming was also leisurely taking a break, leaning against the window to enjoy the spring scenery. She would occasionally pick up a piece of pastry to eat, and when she was thirsty, she would pick up her teacup to drink water.
At this moment, it was Granny Sun serving Jiaming. Whenever she saw that Jiaming's teacup was empty, she would refill it with water.
As soon as Hongtao and Xiao Hezi entered, they saw Jiaming's leisurely and lazy scene.
Out of the corner of her eye, she caught sight of the embroidery frame lying to the side, and the doubt that had been lingering in Hongtao's mind resurfaced.
He immediately suggested to Jiaming, "Your Highness, you're being lazy again. Wouldn't it be better to finish this screen sooner? What if the Fujin suddenly changes the time and makes things difficult for you?"
As soon as she finished speaking, she saw both Granny Sun and Xiao Hezi looking at her with disapproval.
.
Red Peach blinked. Was her idea really that bad?
"It's not just rotten, it's absolutely rotten!" The three people in the room, except for Red Peach, said in unison.
Hearts: Oops, I didn't say it out loud.
However, "Why?" Hongtao immediately asked, driven by her thirst for knowledge.
"Xiao Hezi, you tell her what just happened." Jiaming was feeling a bit lazy, and since Xiao Hezi always had to talk, she immediately passed the explanation to him.
Seeing Jiaming's listless appearance, not wanting to say a word, Xiao Hezi, Granny Sun, and Hongtao were all speechless.
This lady, since becoming pregnant, not only enjoys eating—she likes anything delicious—but has also recently become more genuine and lazy.
But what just happened, is it related to what I just asked? Red Heart's eyes were filled with confusion.
Xiao Hezi: "Master, Lotus just made contact with the people in the main courtyard."
Upon hearing this, Red Peach seemed to be deep in thought.
Jiaming nodded, signaling Xiao Hezi to continue.
“Master, after Lotus returned from the meeting, I sent her off to do some work. She will probably only have time to gather information before your dinner. You can just pretend then, and then you can have dinner.”
Upon hearing this, Jiaming knew she could leisurely enjoy herself until dinner, and a look of satisfaction immediately flashed across her baby face.
Upon hearing this, Hongtao immediately understood that her master was lying again. This time, he was clearly using the Fujin's spies to spread false information.
But why deliberately do needlework slowly?
After a moment's thought, Hongtao suddenly realized: "Master, you deliberately made the Fujin think that you do needlework slowly, and that you deliberately stayed up late at night, so that she would think that you were busy with needlework day and night?"
Xiao Hezi: "Just knowing is enough, there's no need to say it out loud."
Hongtao ignored Xiao Hezi and immediately praised Jiaming, saying, "Master, your idea is brilliant."
"Yes, that's brilliant! A clever plan!" Granny Sun and Xiao Hezi both thought to themselves.
But there's something even more amazing!
Sometime on the fourth day, Jiaming, who was slowly embroidering the screen with a pale face and dark circles under her eyes, suddenly stopped and let out a muffled groan.
The needle and thread fell instantly as soon as the hand loosened.
Jiaming immediately bent over, her hand stroking her protruding belly, her baby face scrunched up like a bun, and cold sweat dripping from her forehead.
"Master, what's wrong?" Hongtao asked anxiously, her face pale, as she helped Jiaming up.
Jiaming remained silent, gently biting her lip as if she were trying her best to endure something.
"Master, wait a moment, I'll call someone..."
Jiaming suddenly grabbed Hongtao's forearm and pulled her close.
Hongtao, who had intended to leave and call for someone to come in, immediately hesitated to move, fearing that she might pull Jiaming to the ground if she did so.
.
However, you can't go out to call for people, but you can call them in loudly.
When the heart opens its mouth, it's about to call for help.
"Wait!" Jiaming managed to squeeze out two words, interrupting Hongtao's impending shout.
"My lord, how can we wait? Look at you, what if the young prince..."
"Don't call anyone, don't let anyone know," Jiaming interrupted Hongtao.
"Master?" Red Peach asked helplessly.
Jiaming said softly, "Help me to lie down on the couch."
Hongtao helped Jiaming onto the bed, and after the two whispered to each other for a while, the room returned to peace.
However, when Hongtao came out of the house, her expression was not very good.
In the main courtyard, the maid who had reported the news from Peach Blossom Courtyard to the Princess Consort in the pavilion a couple of days ago was now talking in the room, "Today, the mistress of Peach Blossom Courtyard suddenly loosened her needlework, clutched her stomach, her face turned pale, and she was covered in cold sweat..."
When the Fujin heard the news that Jiaming was in trouble, although she looked worried, a hint of pleasure flashed in her eyes first.
Jiaming finally got her revenge for making her lose face.
However, the princess's face showed regret, "It's such a pity that Lady Guarjia didn't call a doctor."
