Chapter 141 Yingpin is pregnant
Chapter 141 Yingpin is pregnant
Although Meiruo's eyes were closed at this moment, the hard work she had endured for many days had already made her physically and mentally exhausted, so when she heard Abao say that Aunt Gui was here, Meiruo's body trembled like a sieve.
A Bao crouched down and whispered in Meiruo's ear, "Master, Nanny Gui and the imperial physician are here."
Meiruo nodded.
Then Abao invited Doctor Zhang into the house.
A Bao walked to the bedside and lowered the curtains. Doctor Zhang deftly lowered the medicine box from his shoulder and placed it on the table. He then retrieved a small pillow and silk handkerchief for taking Meiruo's pulse. He handed the pillow to A Bao, asking him to place it under Meiruo's wrist. He then gently placed the handkerchief on her wrist before Doctor Zhang finally took her pulse.
Meiruo was a little nervous, looking at Doctor Zhang through the bed curtains. She was afraid that her feigned illness would be discovered by the doctor, but Guiying was still there, and it was difficult to bribe the doctor openly. If Doctor Zhang told her the truth, what would happen if Guiying went to complain to the emperor?
"How is it?" Guiying asked.
Meiruo's heart paused.
Even Po beside him started to get nervous.
Doctor Zhang frowned slightly, took back the small pillow and silk handkerchief, stood up and clasped his fists towards Meiruo and said, "Congratulations, Your Majesty, congratulations, Your Majesty, you are four months pregnant..." Then he stopped talking and unconsciously glanced at Guiying. He had seen this nanny in the Cining Palace before, and she seemed to be someone close to the empress dowager. He also knew Meiruo, who was not only the most favored little princess of Mongolia, but also the emperor's favorite concubine. He could not afford to offend either side.
Doctor Zhang: "Fortunately, the queen is in good health and the heir in her belly has not been harmed. From now on, you must not do any strenuous work."
Meiruo was immersed in joy.
What did the imperial physician say just now? She is four months pregnant? Doesn't that mean she is pregnant earlier than Concubine Ling? She stroked her slightly bulging belly. Meiruo's menstruation has always been irregular. She also felt that she had changed a lot in the past few months. She gained a lot of weight because of her greed. Her mother never taught her these things, so Meiruo naturally didn't know what pregnancy was. The palace is a rather strange place. Every now and then, an imperial physician would go to each palace to check the pulse of the ladies. But Meiruo lives in the grassland, where there are no such cumbersome rules. She naturally doesn't like the feeling of being spied on, so she asked Abao to drive away the imperial physician who came to check her pulse.
If the Emperor knew she was pregnant, he would surely be delighted, right? She was a princess of the grasslands, and her husband was the ruler of the empire; their child would naturally be the most noble in the world. Even when the Emperor learned Concubine Ling was pregnant, he was so delighted, so her child must be a rare talent. Meiruo was certain that Hongli would treasure them both.
Meiruo's mind became more and more beautiful as she thought about it, and she completely ignored the existence of the people in the room.
The child arrived just in time and her illness was cured instantly.
No, she had to tell Hongli the good news in person. Meiruo threw off the quilt covering her body and was about to run out, but Guiying grabbed her hand and stopped her.
Guiying: "I've been teaching you for so many days, but you haven't made any progress at all? Your behavior is still so impulsive."
Now that Meiruo was pregnant, she was no longer afraid of Guiying. She straightened her back instantly and said, "Madam Gui, I'm pregnant. Can't I go and tell the emperor the good news in person?"
Guiying: "The eunuchs and palace maids will naturally go to the Yangxin Palace to report your pregnancy to the emperor. You don't have to worry about it. The most important thing right now is your fetus. Doctor Zhang..." Guiying looked up at Doctor Zhang.
Imperial Physician Zhang bowed his head and said submissively, "I am here. What instructions do you have for Madam Gui?"
Guiying: "Take Abao downstairs to get the pregnancy-maintaining medicine."
Doctor Zhang/Abao didn't dare to refute and just said, "Yes."
Guiying did not tell the emperor that Meiruo was pregnant immediately. Instead, she went to the Cining Palace to inform Fujia.
When Fuga entered the room, Zeng Huan was staring at the colorful parrot in a daze.
She knew Zeng Huan must be missing Princess Hengti, who was far away. Fu Jia approached, bowed slightly, and said softly, "Queen Dowager, Guiying just came and said that Yingpin tried to pretend to faint this morning to avoid learning the rules, but the imperial physician diagnosed her as four months pregnant."
Zeng Huan turned around abruptly, "What? So fast?"
It was a good thing that Yingpin was pregnant, but she only found out four months later that there was no such foolish mother in the world. Although Yingpin was of noble status, with such a mother, I am afraid that her future child would not be much better.
Zeng Huan: "Does the Emperor know?"
Fu Jia held Zeng Huan's hand and walked to the edge of the couch and sat down. She said slowly, "Don't worry, Your Majesty. I have already asked the palace maids to go to the Yangxin Palace. I believe the Emperor is already on his way to Xianfu Palace."
Zeng Huan nodded and ordered, "In that case, tell Guiying not to teach Yingpin the rules anymore."
"Yes."
As Fujia said, Hongli was on his way to Xianfu Palace.
To be honest, he didn't have high expectations for the child in Meiruo's belly. After all, Meiruo was the daughter of King Bahrain, and there was powerful force behind her. Although Hongli said that he was not afraid of the forty-nine Mongolian tribes, if the harmony was damaged or a war broke out over a trivial matter, he would not gain any benefit. Therefore, Hongli was still afraid of the power behind Meiruo.
When Hongli arrived at Xianfu Palace, Meiruo was lying on the bed eating sour oranges.
The Manchus say sour boys and spicy girls, but she insists on eating more sour food.
But after eating several of them in a row, Meiruo's face was wrinkled from the sourness.
When Meiruo heard that Hongli was coming, she immediately dropped the oranges and ran to the door to greet him. At this time, Concubine Ke also came out of the house. Seeing that Meiruo was not polite, she ran directly to Hongli and took his hand. In comparison, Concubine Ke seemed much more well-behaved.
Noble Lady Ke: "Your Majesty, I greet you."
Hongli glanced at Concubine Ke and said calmly, "It's Concubine Ke. How are you these days?"
Concubine Ke smiled shyly. Meiruo became unhappy again when she saw Hongli's concern for other women. She did not give them any chance to speak and took Hongli's hand and walked into the house.
Meiruo's action directly angered the maid behind Ke Guiren.
The maid angrily said, "Empress Yingpin is too stingy. She only knows how to rely on King Bahrain to win favor. My lady, you can't spoil her."
Noble Lady Ke glanced at the maid and scolded her, "Shut up! She's a concubine, and I'm a noble lady. Even if she just agreed, she's still a young lady. You must not talk about other young ladies behind their backs, okay? This is the Forbidden City, the imperial palace. How many eyes are watching Xianfu Palace? If you're not careful, not only will you lose your life, but you might also bring trouble to your relatives back in Mongolia, okay?"
The maid lowered her head guiltily, "Yes, my lady, I will never dare to do it again."
Noble Lady Ke sighed and said, "Let's go and see Noble Concubine Chun."
"Yes."
