Seeing that Ningyin was feeling nauseous, Zhang Mama thought there was something wrong with the food she had prepared, so she quickly patted Ningyin's back, and Suxin also quickly handed her a glass of water.
Once Ningyin had calmed down a bit, Zhang Mama asked guiltily, "Your Highness, is the food not to your liking? This old servant will go and prepare something new right away."
"Granny Zhang, Aning is pregnant. Go and prepare some light and nutritious dishes. These are too greasy, so take them away."
Just as Granny Zhang was about to go to the kitchen, she heard Xiao Xuan's deep, resonant voice coming from outside.
Upon hearing this, Granny Zhang and Su Xin almost thought they had misheard. They both stared at Ning Yin with surprised eyes, wanting to confirm it again.
Ningyin smiled and nodded. Suxin covered her mouth excitedly. If the Crown Prince hadn't come over, she would have rushed forward and hugged Ningyin.
Zhang Mama bowed to Xiao Xuan, her hands fluttering with joy as she said, "That's wonderful! Your Highness is finally pregnant! This old servant will go and prepare the meal again right away."
"Yes, go ahead, but Your Highness must be extra careful with your diet from now on, lest anyone take advantage of the situation."
"Yes, Your Highness, this old servant understands."
Granny Zhang couldn't wait to head out of the hall. Su Xin also bowed to Xiao Xuan, preparing to go with Granny Zhang. She was overjoyed.
After Su Xin and Granny Zhang left, Xiao Xuan walked over, lifted his robe, and sat down next to Ning Yin. He glanced at the delicacies laid out on the table and reached out to touch Ning Yin's stomach.
She scolded the little boy inside, who was only a little over a month old, saying, "You absolutely mustn't cause your mother any more trouble. She's suffered so much because of you..."
Whether it was Xiao Xuan's lesson or not, Ning Yin felt more comfortable in her stomach and was less resistant to the smells than before.
Xiao Xuan brought Ning Yin a new bowl and filled it with some white fungus and lotus seed soup to tide her over. He ordered the rest of the food, which was too oily and contained seafood, to be taken away.
Ningyin picked up the bowl and took a sip. It was sweet and sticky, much more delicious than the pig's trotter soup she had just had.
"Ah Ning, you are pregnant now, so you must not overwork yourself. Just tell the palace servants to do whatever you need to do."
The following day, three experienced old nannies entered the East Palace. They were all sent by Empress Dowager Zhang, as these three had served her during her pregnancy and childbirth and were very experienced.
Although Empress Dowager Zhang blamed Ningyin for almost killing her grandson, Ningyin is now pregnant, and she wants Ningyin to give birth to her great-grandson smoothly, which is why she selected three nannies to come over.
Xiao Xuan was not in the Eastern Palace at the moment, and Ning Yin could not disobey Empress Dowager Zhang's orders, so she had no choice but to accept the three of them.
She rewarded the three old nannies with some jewelry and ordered Zhang nanny to arrange accommodations for them.
Granny Zhang told Ning Yin that she was actually very experienced, but since the three people were a gift from Empress Dowager Zhang, she dared not say anything.
"Zhang Mama, Suxin, you two must keep a close eye on things and make sure nothing goes wrong."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
…
Inside a side room of Chang Le Palace, Wang Yuan leaned against a couch, cracking melon seeds while pondering the news of Ning Yin's pregnancy.
She was a newly arrived palace maid. Because she was skillful and knew how to tend to flowers and plants, she was sent to Chang Le Palace.
Within a few days, Wang Yuan, with her silver tongue and outstanding abilities, successfully won over Empress Dowager Zhang's heart.
After Shen Yun sent Shen Jia and Wang Shi away, Wang Yuan also moved back to her own home.
She learned that the palace was holding a talent selection recently, so she tried every means to find out about the Imperial Household Department.
On that day, when the Imperial Household Department went to select palace maids, one woman was found to have lied about her age and was immediately sentenced to death by caning.
However, because there was one person missing, it was difficult to find someone who was good-looking, young, and had a clean background.
The eunuch from the Imperial Household Department was on his way to see if there was a suitable place at the nearby county magistrate's residence when he unexpectedly encountered Wang Yuan.
Wang Yuan was exceptionally beautiful and knew how to get things done. The young eunuch, eager to complete his task, had Wang Yuan impersonate the other person.
Wang Yuan thought about her purpose in entering the palace: to get close to Crown Prince Xiao Xuan.
Now, Ning Yin has returned. He thought to himself that Shen Yun was a good-for-nothing. He had given him advice, but Ning Yin still managed to come back.
She originally thought Ning Yin would be completely imprisoned by Shen Yun, but she didn't expect that Ning Yin already had a child. Thinking about this, Wang Yuan couldn't help but wonder whose child it was.
