Geng Youran did this mainly as a precaution. The Fourth Prince, Yinzhen, naturally guessed the reason for Geng Youran's actions, so he didn't say anything.
Originally, I thought the annual meeting would just pass by in boredom, but who knew that just a few days after the Lantern Festival, Niohuru Wanru was diagnosed with pregnancy.
However, the first person to discover it was not Huang Li, the head maidservant of Niu Hulu, but Geng Youran.
Geng Youran noticed that Wanru had been eating snacks much more frequently lately. Although she was happy to do it, she felt something was off.
So he used the excuse of feeling unwell to have someone invite the imperial physician over, and pretended to "casually" take Niohuru Wanru's pulse as well.
"Congratulations, Princess! You're pregnant!"
"real?"
Geng Youran exclaimed with delight, "I didn't expect that I would actually guess right!"
She turned her head and glanced at Wanru, who was also somewhat surprised, and smiled:
"Xinyi, reward him! Huangli, what are you waiting for? Quickly go and tell the Fujin this news."
"yes!"
Wanru covered her mouth and laughed:
"Sister, I'm pregnant, and you seem even more excited than I am."
Geng Youran gently tapped Wanru's forehead:
"You, you don't even think about something this important."
Wanru gently covered her lower abdomen and smiled tenderly:
"It was bound to happen sooner or later, why are you making such a fuss, sister?"
Yes, actually, these two people had already guessed this.
The two had been taking the medicine together before, but when Yun Rong and Li Jingshu were busy vying for power, Geng Youran and Wanru quietly stopped taking the contraceptive soup.
Therefore, Geng Youran and the parties involved quickly accepted the news of Wanru's pregnancy.
Next, Geng Youran used some knowledge she had learned in the modern world to teach Huangli what to eat, what not to eat, what to eat more of, what to eat less of, how long to walk, how long to embroider, and so on. In short, Geng Youran talked to Huangli for a full hour.
Wanru was so moved she almost cried.
The next day, when everyone was paying their respects to the Fourth Prince's wife, she announced the good news to everyone.
Niohuru Wanru accepted everyone's blessings with a smile, but she knew that not many of them were sincere.
First of all, Consort Ulanara was sincere, because Niohuru Wanru was a Manchu and a member of a prominent family. As a princess, she was not qualified to raise her own child.
Whether Niohuru gave birth to a son or a daughter, Ulanara would be the legal mother and would raise the child herself.
Li Jingshu, however, was not so calm.
She returned to the courtyard and questioned her personal maid and nanny about what had happened. She had been having them keep an eye on the women's bellies, so how did Niohuru Wanru get pregnant so secretly?
The two servants looked at each other, not daring to utter a sound.
Nian Yunrong returned to the courtyard and sighed repeatedly.
Although she had only been married to Yinzhen for a few months, seeing other women pregnant with the children of the men she loved filled her with indescribable bitterness and envy.
Qingxi saw it all, but remained silent.
Before she arrived at the Prince's residence, Madam Nian had instructed her not to let her mistress become pregnant too early.
The master's health is not good; he needs to recuperate for a few more years.
Therefore, the medicine that the master has been taking during this period has been specially prepared by Qingxi and has a contraceptive effect.
Of course, Nian Yunrong was unaware of this.
