Fast wear: lying down life, so delicious

princess mansion

"Princess, are you feeling better today? Has the little one been naughty?" Xu Nuo whispered softly to Princess Mingyue on the bed through the screen, as if he was afraid of scaring the person on the bed.

Since Princess Mingyue had been bedridden for a month, she felt that her face had lost its luster, so she put up a screen in her room. Every time her prince consort came to visit her, she only let him answer her from outside the screen, for fear that he would see her haggard face.

"Thank you for your concern, Prince Consort! Mingyue is in good health, and the little one is very well behaved, even saying hello to me..."

Mingyue forced herself to sit on the bed, gently stroking her bulging belly, feeling the slightly bulging fetus in her belly. A glow of maternal love appeared on her pale face.

"Really? That's great! I really want to meet you and your son soon!" Xu Nuo was overjoyed, his face full of anticipation.

A trace of hesitation flashed across Mingyue's face. She missed her husband, wanted to see him, wanted to throw herself into his arms, tell him about the hardships of pregnancy, and talk about her expectations for the child...

However, Mingyue touched her pale face and recalled her haggard self in the mirror, her out-of-shape figure...

No, I must not let my husband see me like this! Mingyue bit her lip and said firmly: "My husband, my child and I miss you too! The imperial physician said that our family will be reunited soon!"

Xu Nuo's eyes flashed with cunning, he knew that the princess just didn't want him to see her distorted figure and haggard face, he had no interest in a swollen pregnant woman. However, that was the princess, and the baby in her belly was his own flesh and blood, so he had the patience to coax and serve her.

"That's great! Our family will be reunited soon! I'm really looking forward to this day coming sooner!" Xu Nuo casually responded to the princess' words.

After Xu Nuo left, Xiangling quickly stepped forward and carefully helped Mingyue's weak body lie down.

"Xiangling, tell me, did I do something wrong?" Mingyue stared at the ceiling of the bed expressionlessly, her eyes empty.

Xiangling was slightly startled, "Princess, why do you say that?"

"I can feel that the prince consort seems to have changed his mind!" Mingyue's voice trembled slightly, like a candle in the wind.

"Princess, you worry too much! Your Highness is very caring towards you. Every day when he comes home, he will ask us about your condition that day, and he will come to greet you personally before going to bed!" Xiangling hurriedly consoled her.

The imperial physician had specifically warned them that the princess was in a critical condition and that her emotions must not fluctuate too much, otherwise it would affect her body and even endanger the baby in her belly.

"Really? Does the prince consort really care about us so much?" After hearing Xiangling's words, Mingyue's face instantly glowed, like a dead tree coming back to life, and the whole person became full of life again.

"Of course! The princess is now pregnant with the Xu family's blood! The prince consort cannot express his gratitude enough and will naturally take great care of you and the child!" Xiangling nodded affirmatively again to show her support.

In fact, Xiangling also noticed that the prince consort had been getting close to Xiangyun recently, but she could not tell the princess about this, not only for the princess's health, but also for the sake of their sisterly love. Xiangling thought to herself that she would have to have a good talk with Xiangyun later!

Here, as Xu Nuo stepped out of the room, he bumped into Xiang Yun who was walking back with the boiled medicine.

Xiangyun was seen wearing a simple and elegant light blue palace dress. The owner had only embroidered a few butterflies on the pleats of her skirt. She danced with her light steps, as if playing in the flowers. Her long black hair fell on her shoulders like a waterfall, fluttering in the wind, driving the light blue hairband, like a beautiful painting. She exuded the fragrance of orchids, like a fairy descending to the earth, a beautiful lady who could overthrow the whole country.

Xu Nuo had already blocked Xiangyun's path, and watched her approach with a smile on his face. "Miss Xiangyun, is the princess' medicine ready?"

"Reporting to the prince consort, I was just about to deliver medicine to the princess." Xiangyun stopped, lowered her head slightly, and answered in a flat tone.

"Thank you for your hard work, Miss Xiangyun. The princess will have to trouble you to take care of her! Unfortunately, I want to serve the princess, but the princess is unwilling. I can only ask you to do it." Xu Nuo didn't care about Xiangyun's indifference at all, because he knew that this woman would be his sooner or later.

"Your Highness, you are too kind! Taking care of the princess is our duty. It is what we should do. I once made a wish to the Bodhisattva, hoping that the princess could give birth safely and smoothly. For this reason, I am willing to remain single for the rest of my life and worship the Bodhisattva to thank him for his great kindness!" After Xiangyun finished speaking, she walked around Xu Nuo and went into the room.

After hearing Xiangyun's words, Xu Nuo was immediately filled with shame and anger, and his face turned red with anger. How dare a little maid look down on him like this!

Xiangyun held the tray as if holding a precious pearl, and carefully placed the medicine on the small table beside the bed, looking at Princess Mingyue with a smile in her eyes. "Princess, you look much better today!"

The smile on Mingyue's face was like a blooming flower, and suddenly it seemed to be blown by a gust of cold wind and paused for a moment. However, she seemed to remember something, and her tone softened, saying to Xiangyun: "Thanks to you, this palace and my child will be fine!"

"Yes, princess will get better. Looking at the peach blossoms outside, I seem to have smelled their fragrance in full bloom. When the young master is born, the garden will be full of fruits and the fragrance will be pleasant." Xiangyun did not seem to notice the changes in Princess Mingyue. She spoke softly, her voice as pleasant as the sound of nature.

Xiangling was silent beside him, like a peaceful sculpture. She picked up the medicine bowl and stirred it gently with a spoon, letting the medicine cool to a suitable temperature for drinking. Then she handed it to Mingyue with both hands and said gently, "Princess, let's drink the medicine while it's still hot..."

Princess Mingyue raised her eyes slightly, glanced at Xiangyun, took the medicine bowl, and drank the whole bowl of bitter medicine in one gulp. The bitter taste went down her throat into her stomach, as if it had dyed Mingyue's heart bitter.

Seeing Mingyue frowning and making a cute expression, Xiangyun quickly handed the candied fruit to the princess from the small plate on the tray, "Princess, please eat some candied fruit to sweeten your mouth!"

After Mingyue fell asleep, Xiangling silently pulled Xiangyun's sleeve and took her back to the room.

"What were you talking about with the prince consort at the door just now?" Xiangling asked directly.

Xiangyun frowned slightly, and this small action made her look even more lovable, like a flower blown by the breeze. "Did the princess hear it in there?"

Xiangling shook her head gently. "Probably not, but I heard a faint sound at that time..."

After hearing this, Xiangyun's expression became even more sad, as if a dark cloud was covering her face. "The prince consort was just asking about my princess's situation, and I replied with a few words."

"Xiangyun, I believe you! But, you and I both know the princess's temper, you..." Xiangling advised earnestly.
