After everyone left, although the princess was still pale, she had a smile on her face.
Nanny Chen led Fu Qiu in and out to ventilate the room. There were so many people here just now, all of them were scented with powder, and they all had different scents. One can imagine the smell when they gather together.
Especially since the princess is pregnant, it's better not to smell this messy fragrance.
When the smell in the room returned to freshness, Fu Chun brought a freshly stewed blood swallow, and Nanny Chen took it to the bedside.
"The crown princess drinks some blood swallows to replenish her vitality."
"The news of my pregnancy will probably spread out of the uterus soon, and the family hasn't heard anything yet. No matter what, I'd better pass the news out, so as not to appear unreasonable."
Nanny Chen glanced at her expression and agreed.
But in my heart, I was thinking that after the Crown Princess gave birth to the Second Princess, she had never been pregnant, so it was fine if the empress in the palace forced her, and the palace also forced her. I know it is for the good of the Crown Princess, but I will always be hurt emotionally. Now that the Crown Princess is pregnant, I am afraid the mansion will be very happy.
"Because I haven't been able to conceive, my family has complained about me, and now I follow their wishes and carry people in. When I was still pregnant, I think the people in the mansion will feel ashamed after entering the palace. It's the same with the queen mother, otherwise why would the imperial doctor come to check the pulse on the front foot, and she would order someone to make faces with me on the back foot, because she is afraid of being said that she treats me harshly." The crown prince said with a smile on her lips.
Before the imperial doctor checked the pulse, the princess had been pregnant for more than two months, and Pan'er and Zhao Xiyue had only entered the house for more than a month, and they were conceived just before that. Most people in the world sympathize with the weak, and others will not say anything after hearing this, they will only criticize Empress Fu for being mean to the princess, and for her daughter-in-law to be carried to the East Palace while pregnant.
In particular, Concubine Gao Gui and Concubine Zhou Xian have never been easy-going lamps, and they will definitely not miss this good opportunity to hit the Zhonggong family. The prince is cautious, and it is difficult for others to catch his fault, but Empress Fu is different. The reason why the prince is a prince is because his mother is a queen and the son of the middle palace.
But what if Queen Fu is not the queen anymore
Of course the Crown Princess would not destroy the Great Wall by herself, after all, the honor and disgrace of the Crown Prince also had a bearing on her status, but she didn't mind giving the Empress some trouble at the right time, so let it be the breath she had been holding back for several years.
"You'd better have a good rest. Recently, you are exhausted because of the matter of the three princesses. Don't hurt the baby in your stomach." Chen Nanny persuaded.
The princess leaned back, her expression a little excited: "Nurse, don't worry, I still know this. Your Highness has also noticed how I have treated the three princesses these days. I am pregnant, and I am exhausted. What would His Highness think?"
Chen Momo didn't expect the Crown Princess to ask such a question, she was taken aback for a moment, and said, "His Royal Highness will definitely value you more in the future."
The Crown Princess smiled, and suddenly her expression darkened again: "Nurse, although I won't say anything, I know that since Qi Fengyi's fetus died, and that Liu Chenghui had a miscarriage for three months, His Highness has suspected me. but I… "
At this time, there was a commotion outside the door, interspersed with Fu Qiu's greeting.
It stands to reason that Ji Detang should not have such an ignorant servant, but Fu Qiu greeted Ann outside, which was to remind someone inside.
The prince came in soon.
Someone moved a chair, the prince sat down in front of the bed, and Nanny Chen stepped aside.
"Your Highness..."
"Lie down, you don't need to salute." The prince pressed the princess who wanted to get up.
A blush appeared on the pale face of the Crown Princess, and she leaned back on the soft pillow again.
"You've been tired too, since you're pregnant, take a good rest and take care of your body."
"If I save my life, I will definitely put my body first."
The prince nodded and fell silent.
Feeling this silence, the princess felt a little uncomfortable.
When there was only silence between her and His Highness, he had nothing to say to her. Although the prince has never talked much and his thoughts are difficult to guess, it was not like this before.
It was since Qi Fengyi was stillborn and Liu Chenghui had a miscarriage for no reason that the prince became more and more indifferent to her.
But why didn't he think about her situation, let the concubine be born first before the birth of the son-in-law, whether she will be a Queen Fu again in a few years, and whether her son will follow the old road of the prince.
The princess couldn't help but think about the child she finally conceived.
Thinking about it, the prince has never had a son, and the pressure is quite high, but he never complained to her, so even if there is a quarrel, it is not irreparable. She is pregnant now, maybe it is a boy.
"Your Highness, you don't have to worry about my body. I have always been healthy. It's just that my menstruation has been a little messy recently. I didn't expect to have a body before the menstruation. Fortunately, this child is still doing well, and there is nothing wrong with it. I'm tired, but it's good to take a rest."
The prince looked at the princess, his eyes darkened: "Since you know you need to rest more, you should take a good rest and take care of yourself."
As he spoke, he stood up and said, "There is still something ahead, I'll come and see you later."
The princess nodded, and the prince left.
She felt that the prince's attitude was a bit strange, but she thought that he was coming from the front, and something must have been interrupted temporarily, so she didn't think much about it.
The prince left Jidetang, and the other servants followed far behind, only Fulu was by the side.
Fu Lu carefully looked at the prince's face, lowering his head even lower.
He also heard what the Crown Princess said just now.
But the Crown Princess didn't know that His Royal Highness was watching all the movements in Jide Hall, including calling the imperial doctor once because Mother Chen occasionally felt cold.
So the princess said that she didn't know she was pregnant, which must be false.
The Crown Princess knew she was pregnant, but these three princesses were seriously ill but kept busy, and stayed with the Crown Prince for two nights. Afterwards, she also looked very concerned, and even fainted from exhaustion. There are also the two newcomers who were just brought in, they entered the East Palace under the guise of solving the difficulties for the Crown Princess.
The Empress Dowager has been putting pressure on this matter, and the Crown Princess did it.
What does the princess want to do? Embarrassing the empress? And deliberately tired himself out to show his virtuousness in front of the prince
Yes, all that the princess has done is to show her virtuousness and generosity.
But it's hard to avoid seeing people as fools.
But Fulu can understand this kind of behavior. The women in the palace never let go of any opportunity to express themselves. Probably not happy, obviously it is a happy thing.
Fu Lu secretly sighed, but dared not say anything.
Kunning Palace, after Nianqiu returned, Empress Fu called her over.
Empress Fu is in her forties, with willow eyebrows and long eyes. Her face is somewhat similar to that of the prince, but more delicate. She is well maintained, her hair is black and shiny, but there are a few deep wrinkles between her brows, showing that she is usually more worried than happy.
"Is the princess all right?"
"Returning to the empress, the crown princess is very good. When the slaves left, all the concubines in the East Palace went to congratulate the crown princess. But Hu Liangdi didn't go, maybe she hasn't heard the news yet?"
Nian Qiu said the latter sentence very lightly, everyone knew it was just an excuse, everyone else had received the news, how could Hu Liangdi not have received it.
I'm probably not happy right now.
"She was spoiled by this palace, and she lost her duty." Empress Fu frowned, paused, and then said, "She's also stupid. How could I embarrass her at this time."
This she refers to the crown princess.
Nian Chi at the side hesitated for a moment, and said: "It's a good thing that the Crown Princess is pregnant. It's just that the Crown Princess didn't pay attention, she was pregnant, didn't she know that she was pregnant? She also gave birth to another child. She is carrying people to the East Palace, and she is taking care of the third princess, she fainted from exhaustion, people who don't know will think that our mother has done something to her!"
Nian Qiu glared at Nian Ci, and reprimanded: "What are you talking about in front of the empress!"
"Slaves are also..."
"Okay!" Empress Fu's voice interrupted the conversation between the two maids. She leaned tiredly on the pillow behind her and rubbed the space between her brows. "No matter what she thinks, I should You must do it to save face for her, and it's time for Hu Liangdi to beat her, so she won't be confused."
"But ma'am..."
"She is the crown princess, if she can give birth to the crown prince's son this time, it won't matter if I bear some reputation on my back."
Nian Ci whispered: "I am afraid that Concubine Gao Gui and Concubine Zhou Xian will use this matter as a raft again, and say that you are wrong in front of His Majesty. Others don't know how difficult it is for the empress, but those of us who are around know it. ..." In the end, Nian Chi couldn't speak anymore.
Empress Fu didn't say anything, she just waved her hand to get them all to back off.
Nian Ci didn't want to leave at first, but was dragged down by Nian Qiu, but after a while, the two came back again, Nian Ci reported to Empress Fu with a smile on her face, "Your Majesty, Your Highness is here."
To be called so in Kunning Palace, except for the crown prince, Empress Fu sat up, and the crown prince had already walked in during this time.
"Queen."
The prince saluted Empress Fu, but she grabbed her.
"When you come to the mother's place, do you still have to talk about the rules like this?" Empress Fu smiled, instructing the maids to serve tea and fruit snacks. This is still treating the prince as if he was still studying in the study, and the prince just looked at it. with.
Empress Fu dragged the crown prince to the kang to sit down again, and then said: "Why do you come to see your mother at this time?"
"It happened that nothing happened, and I remembered it again, so I came here to pay my respects to the queen mother."
Empress Fu shook her head and smiled, seeing that there was a plate of raspberries in the fruit served, she let the prince eat it.
The prince is a man, and few men like to eat sweets and eat these bright red foods, but the prince likes to eat raspberries, not many people know about it.
The prince ate a few, then stopped. Empress Fu took a look, sighed secretly, and asked Nian Qiu to wipe his hands with a handkerchief.
After that, the mother and son chatted some other gossip, and the prince saw that it was getting late, so he left.
After he left, Empress Fu sat quietly on the kang in a daze, thinking of the princess, the child in her belly, and the way the prince obviously liked it but restrained himself after eating a few. heart.
Nian Ci sent the prince back, seeing Empress Fu's expression, he couldn't help but called out for a moment.
Empress Fu raised her hand and said: "Okay, you don't need to say anymore, there are no fools here, she thought she won, but she didn't know..." She didn't say the rest, but shook her head helplessly.
Pan'er's guess was not wrong, as expected, everyone moved.
Nowadays, the time for greeting each day has been lengthened invisibly. In the past, we just sat down and left after drinking a cup of tea at most. Now everyone finds excuses and always delays and procrastinates.
Even if the Crown Princess is unwell, she won't stay outside for too long, and occasionally even let them disperse before people come out, but some people still stay. If one stays, the others are naturally unwilling, so they all stay. Even if Pan'er wants to leave in his heart, he doesn't want to be the rafter in his early years.
The crown prince's place seems to have become a hot stove, and everyone wants to come and burn it.
After asking An to go back that day, Pan'er was very tired.
After entering the house, he went straight to the kang, kicked off the embroidered shoes on his feet, leaned on the kang, and took a small pillow to cushion the back of his waist.
I just sat on chairs that are not side-to-side all morning, and I still sit on hard stools. Although there are cushions on the chairs, but now that the weather is hot, they are all replaced with single layers. They are just for decoration and cannot relieve long-term sitting. Unmoving buttocks.
Pan'er not only hurts her butt, but also her waist.
Aunt Qing felt a little distressed, and rubbed her waist herself, while Cattail and Qingdai served tea and put fruit on the plate for their stomachs.
Although it was almost noon, and it was time to eat lunch, the plate was useless for breakfast, so I had to eat something first.
"It seems that we have to call for breakfast in advance, and the master should go to pay his respects after eating, otherwise it will not be good for the body after a long time." Cattail said.
Pan'er said weakly, "Okay, I'll get up earlier and go to bed earlier at night."
Bai Zhi came in and said that Xiao Dezi had something to report.
Now Xiao Dezi seems to be the know-it-all in the West Wing. It seems that there is some news to report to Pan'er, not to mention Pan'er, even Cattail and the others are very curious.
Not long after, Xiao Dezi came, knelt down and kowtowed at the door before entering.
"Master, the little Douzi next to Hu Liangdi was in the dining room today, and talked to the little six next to Zhao Fengyi."
