A while ago, Princess Ning went back to her mother's house and accompanied her seriously ill mother at her mother's house before returning to the palace until her mother's health improved.
It was because of this that Gu Jiao's visit to the house to check her pulse was delayed.
Gu Jiao didn't know that Princess Ning was back for the time being. Princess Rui was the first to know about it. She hurriedly sent a carriage to Ning's mansion.
"Sister-in-law!"
Princess Ning's carriage happened to stop at the gate of the mansion, and she was about to get in the car when she heard Princess Rui's happy voice.
Princess Ning retracted her feet that had stepped on the stool, turned to look at Princess Rui who got off the other carriage, and couldn't help but laugh, "Slow down, how can someone walk so fast with such a big belly?"
Princess Rui almost ran away.
She came to Princess Ning, smiled and said, "Auntie's health is better, right?"
"Well, it's much better." Princess Ning nodded with a smile, "What are you doing when you're pregnant and not in the house to raise your baby at ease?"
Princess Rui said: "I heard that my sister-in-law has returned to the mansion, so I came here to see her. I have nothing to do in the manor for the past two months, and I learned a little cooking. This is the dried apricots I made by myself, so don't dislike it. "
As soon as she finished speaking, Madam Xu, who was behind her, handed over the clay pot containing dried apricots.
The female official beside Princess Ning stretched out her hand to take it.
Concubine Ning thanked: "You have the heart, I was about to enter the palace to greet the Empress and Concubine Zhuang, do you want to be with me?"
Princess Rui smiled and said, "That's exactly what I mean!"
Princess Ning's eyes swept across her high bulging belly, she hesitated for a moment: "However, your body..."
Princess Rui waved her hand and said, "It's alright! I can take a carriage!"
A trace of envy flashed in Princess Ning's eyes, and she took her hand: "Okay, come up."
The two got into Princess Ning's carriage.
The group quickly arrived at the palace, and Princess Ning took care of Princess Rui carefully, even more careful than King Rui.
Princess Rui wanted to say that she didn't have to be so nervous, she was pregnant with this child as if she wasn't pregnant, but when she thought of Princess Ning's three miscarriages, she closed her mouth again.
She cooperated to make a more cautious look than usual, and her pace slowed down.
"Is it hard to get pregnant?" On the way to Kunning Palace, Princess Ning chatted with her about family affairs.
Princess Rui's eyes flashed: "Uh... It's hard work. I can't sleep in the middle of the night, and my calf still cramps."
Mammy always asked her that, but she never did.
If it's not hard work, it's probably always running to the toilet.
No, she's a bit of that again.
"What's wrong?" Princess Ning asked, looking at Princess Rui, whose face was wrinkled.
Princess Rui said embarrassingly: "I... I want to piss off."
Princess Ning: "There is a Gongfang over there, I will accompany you there."
Princess Rui: "No need, no need, I'll go by myself."
"I don't worry about you alone." Princess Ning insisted on sending Princess Rui to the vicinity of Gong's room, but Princess Rui couldn't do anything about it.
When the two came out of Gong's room, they never expected to meet the Crown Princess coming out of it.
The expressions of the three men paused.
The status of the crown princess was higher than that of the other princesses, but she still politely called Princess Ning a sister-in-law.
Princess Rui rolled her eyes.
She doesn't like Wen Linlang, and she doesn't even bother to do the etiquette.
Especially after breaking through Wen Linlang's entanglement with other men last time, she disliked Wen Linlang more and more in her heart.
Everyone knows that Prince Ning and the prince do not deal with each other, and Princess Ning obviously maintains a certain distance from the prince, but the face is still decent.
She greeted the princess with a slight nod.
The princess said: "I still have something to do. I'll go first. My sister-in-law will leave, and my third brother and sister will leave."
Princess Ning: "Farewell."
Princess Rui responded with a wave of her eyes.
After the princess left, Princess Ning said to Princess Rui: "Okay, you can go."
"Well." Princess Rui went to Gong's room.
Pregnancy is such a bad thing, it's too easy to run to the toilet, Princess Rui came out of Gong's room, and was served by servants, washed her hands and applied hand oil, and then went to Queen Xiao's Kunning Palace with Princess Ning. .
The two of them were not the direct daughters-in-law of Empress Xiao, so they were polite, and they came out of Kunning Palace after being polite.
Afterwards, the two went to Concubine Zhuang's Yongshou Palace. This time they stayed for a longer time. Concubine Zhuang was looking forward to the fetus in Concubine Rui's womb. Wang is even more powerful.
"You have to have a son." Concubine Zhuang Gui said, holding Princess Rui's hand.
Princess Rui sneered: "It's not up to my son to decide."
Concubine Zhuang thought for a while and asked, "Do you like sour or spicy?"
Princess Rui said honestly: "I like them all. Sometimes I want spicy food, sometimes I want sour food, and sometimes I want sweet food again."
Princess Ning's expression was a little dazed.
Concubine Zhuang Gui was worried about her daughter-in-law's mood, so she didn't say anything more about the child. She called her personal maid and said, "Go and ask where Prince Ning and Prince Rui are? Concubine Yu is also invited."
Concubine Yu, the mother-in-law of the third prince.
After the separation of the royal family, the prince no longer had the freedom to enter and leave the palace as before, but with the position of Concubine Zhuang, it was not difficult to see his son.
Not long after, King Ning and King Rui came over from the Golden Palace.
"My lord." Princess Ning bowed to King Ning.
Ning Wang hurriedly came over to support her, holding her hand with tender eyes: "You don't need to be so restrained here, just like in the manor."
Princess Ning smiled: "Yes."
Soon, Concubine Yu also arrived, and Concubine Zhuang hurriedly asked the palace servants to prepare the meal.
Concubine Zhuang Gui and Concubine Yu sat together, and the two couples sat on either side of her.
Ning Wang and his wife are very elegant and generous, and treat each other like guests.
Rui Wang and his wife were very serious on the surface, but in private, Rui Wang rubbed his leg against his daughter-in-law's leg.
Princess Rui glared at him, eating your meal!
King Rui peeled a shrimp for his daughter-in-law and placed it in Princess Rui's bowl before realizing that everyone's eyes were on him.
He was shocked and almost forgot that this was in the palace, not his own mansion, and he had to obey the rules.
The couple was embarrassed for a while.
Wang Ning smiled warmly and said: "The shrimp in the concubine's palace is well done." He also peeled one for Princess Ning, "I also have a taste for Su Xin."
Su Xin, the small characters that King Ning took for Princess Ning after the big wedding.
Princess Ning smiled softly: "Thank you, Lord."
…
After lunch, Concubine Zhuang Gui was going to take a lunch break. Several people came out of Yongshou Palace, Concubine Yu returned to her bedroom, and the four of them walked outside the palace together.
"Be careful." When passing under a big tree, King Ning covered the top of Princess Ning's head with his hand.
When he took his hand off, a few people found that there was a bug on the back of his hand.
Princess Rui couldn't name this kind of tree, but she often saw thread-spinning insects hanging under it.
There was a worm hanging in front of her. If King Ning hadn't called out like that, she would have bumped into it right now.
Princess Rui said with emotion: "Big brother is really attentive!"
King Rui muttered: "I am also very careful!"
Princess Rui said bitterly: "Oh, why didn't the lord find a bug in front of me?"
Rui Wang scratched his head: "I am..."
"What is it?" Princess Rui looked at him and asked.
"I was about to get rid of it for you!" King Rui firmly refused to admit that he hadn't noticed this little thing!
Princess Rui hummed, "You are just not as considerate and meticulous as your elder brother!"
This King Rui has no way to refute, the eldest brother is the most considerate of all the princes, he is considerate to the elder sister-in-law, and also considerate to their younger brothers, even to the prince's mortal enemy.
Pregnant women's emotions are sometimes inexplicable. Princess Rui, who was arguing with King Rui one second ago, became sad the next: "You said... If this child can't be kept... Will you treat me like my elder brother treats elder sister-in-law? ?"
King Rui glared at her and said, "What are you talking about? Why can't you keep your child? Don't be a rude mouth! My son is fine!"
Princess Rui sighed: "Isn't this an assumption? I just think that eldest brother is so kind to eldest sister-in-law."
King Rui couldn't refute this.
King Ning and Princess Ning met when they were young. They were not childhood sweethearts, but they were not blind marriages either.
After they got married, the only regret was Princess Ning's belly. Fortunately, King Ning never neglected her because she couldn't give birth to a child, and said good things for Princess Ning in front of Concubine Zhuang Gui.
Concubine Zhuang was not an easy-going person, and it was thanks to King Ning that the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law could get along so harmoniously.
This is a man who will never wrong his daughter-in-law.
Princess Rui pinched the corner of King Rui's clothes and said coquettishly, "You promise me that you will treat me like a big brother and a sister-in-law, and you will be so good all your life."
