Chapter 323 Milk Soup
When he woke up the next day, Xuanyuan Ling saw Shen Qing still asleep, and he didn't move, just waiting for her to wake up.
After Shen Qing woke up, Xuanyuan Ling asked someone to come in and serve him.
Fang Yun also helped Chen Qing get up and put on her makeup. After they had breakfast together, they went out for a walk. However, Xuanyuan Ling had something to do today, so he didn't have to accompany her all day, so he left before lunch.
After Xuanyuan Ling left, Shen Qing felt a little uncomfortable in her lower abdomen. Calculating the time, her period was almost here, which would be tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.
Now that Xuanyuan Ling was watching her, she said that she wanted to have more ice or something, but in fact, she didn't eat much. Xuanyuan Ling said that she could eat two bowls, but that small bowl was gone in two days. She really couldn't get enough of it.
But she herself didn't want to have a stomachache, and she felt that her period was about to come, so she asked that no ice bowl be prepared today.
Fangyun also remembers the date of Shen Qing's menstruation
In fact, Chen Qing had asked the imperial physician to regulate her for a long time, and her menstruation was still normal and quite regular. As long as she didn't feel anything beforehand or eat something cold, she generally wouldn't feel any discomfort. However, Fang Yun was naturally very careful as Chen Qing's period was about to come.
Chen Qing doesn't like ginger soup, and prefers sweets when she's menstruating, especially those with a milky taste. This is an old rule, so Fang Yun gave instructions early on about what to have for snacks today and what not to have for lunch.
After lunch, Shen Qing read the storybook for a while and felt drowsy. He ended up sleeping for the whole afternoon.
Fangyun felt that it was unlikely. The Queen usually had a pretty regular sleeping time. Was it because she was about to have her period that made her feel particularly tired?
When Shen Qing woke up, Fang Yun couldn't help but ask, "Is your Majesty feeling unwell?"
Shen Qing didn’t feel anything. She felt a little uncomfortable in her lower abdomen before, but now she didn’t feel anything after waking up: “It’s probably just the heat.”
Shen Qing had experienced heat stroke before, so Fang Yun didn't dare to be careless and asked Shen Qing: "Madam, would you like to call the imperial physician to take a look?"
"No need." Chen Qing looked at Fang Yun: "Are you overthinking again?"
When she injured her neck, Fang Yun and Chun Hua were overly concerned about her. Later, after she said that, the two of them restrained themselves on the surface. In fact, they were only restrained in front of her. She felt a little unwell, but the two of them were still very sensitive.
Fang Yun was a little embarrassed to call Chen Qing: "I am afraid that the queen is really unwell, I hope the queen is okay."
What could be the problem? Xuanyuan Ling's rule that the imperial physician should check the patient's pulse once every ten days has not been lifted. So, in just two days, the imperial physician will come to check the patient's pulse again.
"Then would Your Majesty like to have some bird's nest and milk soup?" She was thinking that it would be a good snack for Shen Qing to have after waking up from her nap. However, Shen Qing slept for a long time and it was almost time for dinner. If she had it now, she was afraid that there would not be enough for dinner. However, Your Majesty liked this day and she would probably be happy to eat it.
Sure enough, Shen Qing still wanted to eat it after listening to it: "Bring it up."
It was at this time that Xuanyuan Ling came. When he came, he saw that Shen Qing had just woken up and had not changed his clothes. He was a little surprised: "Why did you sleep so long today? Are you feeling unwell?"
"My period is coming in the next two days, and I feel a little tired."
Xuanyuan Ling listened and calculated that it was indeed the day: "So there is no ice cream today, right?"
Shen Qing looked at Xuanyuan Ling unhappily.
Xuanyuan Ling was amused: "Qingqing has always been sensible, so naturally she didn't eat anything."
As they were talking, Fang Yun brought over the bird's nest and milk soup. Chen Qing took the bowl from Fang Yun. She didn't eat milk every day. After all, no matter how much she loved it, she would get tired of it every day. She hadn't eaten it for a few days, so when she got the bowl today, she smelled something not right.
Shen Qing frowned and moved the bowl away: "Fishy smell."
Fang Yun was stunned. Not likely. She was very careful with what Chen Qing ate. She checked it every time. She was on guard against someone tampering with her food. Today's bird's nest and milk soup was no exception. She didn't think there was anything wrong with the taste. It was almost the same as what the Empress had used before.
Xuanyuan Ling frowned directly: "How is the service in the imperial kitchen? Everything is sent to Concubine Xi?"
Zhao Hai was upset when he heard this. How could the imperial kitchen be so bold? Who in the palace is more precious than this ancestor? How dare they bring something bad to Concubine Xi? Did they want to lose their heads?
Xuanyuan Ling was not going to condone it. Now it was obvious that he doted on Chen Qing, who was the most favored in the harem. Who in the imperial kitchen was so blind as to dare to neglect her? How could he forgive her?
"Whoever made this soup, bring it up."
Fang Yun immediately took the bowl of bird's nest milk soup away, and subconsciously bent down to smell it. She had tested it before and found nothing wrong. Now if there was really a problem, she would be scared. Maybe there was something in it. She was glad that Shen Qing didn't drink it. But she smelled it again, but still couldn't smell anything wrong.
Not sure, Fang Yun smelled it again, but there was still no fishy smell. She was a little surprised. The imperial chef who made the milk soup was brought up. He was so scared that he knelt down to Xuanyuan Ling as soon as he saw him.
Xuanyuan Ling looked at the man and said in a deep voice: "Who gave you the courage to pass off the things used by Concubine Xi as good ones?"
The imperial chef was almost crying with fear: "Your Majesty, please be wise. The ingredients used by Concubine Xi are all the freshest every day. Even the eggs are laid by the hens that day. The milk is also fresh. There is absolutely no inferior stuff."
It's not that Concubine Xi is favored, he doesn't have time to curry favor with her. How many people would dare to do such a thing as passing inferior goods off as good ones? Even among them, no one dares to deduct money from Concubine Xi.
Xuanyuan Ling couldn't help but frown when he saw that he was still trying to argue. Anyway, Xuanyuan Ling didn't think about whether Chen Qing had smelled it wrong, because he knew that although Chen Qing was delicate, she would not make trouble for no reason, so there must be something wrong with this thing.
But Fang Yun looked at the imperial chef, who was holding the bird's nest and milk soup in his hand. Suddenly she thought of something, and then she was shocked. She didn't dare to say what was on her lips, and just stared at Shen Qing's belly.
Chen Qing didn't think the chef was lying. In fact, she also found it unbelievable. She had to check her things before they came into her hands. If they were really bad, Fang Yun should have discovered it earlier than her. She subconsciously looked at Fang Yun, but saw Fang Yun with a look on her face that didn't know what to say, looking at her... belly?
Chen Qing was also stunned for a moment, and then in a flash, she understood something. She was stunned for a moment, and then reacted quickly. She suppressed the uncertainty in her heart and subconsciously pulled Xuanyuan Ling: "Your Majesty, I think this is also a misunderstanding. I have a bad stomach today."
Xuanyuan Ling asked Shen Qing to pull him, but she saw that her expression was a little different, and she didn't understand why for a moment, but she said this, obviously she didn't want him to punish the imperial chef.
Although he didn't understand, he didn't intend to offend her. He looked at the imperial chef and said to Zhao Hai, "Take him away."
The royal chef escaped the disaster in a daze.
Until the imperial chef was taken away, Shen Qing still held Xuanyuan Ling's sleeve. Xuanyuan Ling noticed that she was a little upset: "What's wrong?"
Chen Qing looked at Xuanyuan Ling and thought deeply: "Your Majesty, please smell this soup. Is there anything wrong with it?"
Fang Yun's hands were shaking with excitement. She couldn't believe it, and didn't dare to say anything, fearing that she was just imagining things. She just looked at Chen Qing, and after hearing what Chen Qing said, she immediately placed the bowl in front of Xuanyuan Ling.
Xuanyuan Ling smelled it and raised his eyebrows: "I... don't feel the fishy smell."
Shen Qing looked at him with complicated eyes: "But I feel like vomiting when I smelled it just now."
Xuanyuan Ling's first reaction was: "Are you sick?"
If she was sick, it would be fine. Shen Qing pursed her lips and said, "I'm afraid it's..."
She took his hand and placed it on her belly.
Xuanyuan Ling was worried at first, thinking that she really felt unwell, but Chen Qing's expression, and the fact that she said she wanted to vomit, didn't Ji Meiren just vomit and was diagnosed with pregnancy?
For a moment he felt as if he had been struck by lightning. Before he could react and say anything, his mind went blank and he was stunned.
