After I killed him for 9,000 years, he was reborn.

"Princess Sheng'an is still young this month, I wonder if she has any reaction?" Concubine Lu asked with concern.

"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I'm fine, but I feel a little nauseous from time to time. I even vomited twice yesterday." Li Shiliu replied softly.

"That was because you were young and healthy. When I was pregnant with the twenty-seventh prince, I vomited a lot at the beginning. I even suspected that I was about to vomit bile. I couldn't eat or sleep well. I lost a lot of weight. It wasn't until more than four months that I felt better."

Concubine Lu recalled with emotion the hardships she experienced during her pregnancy.

Li Shiliu listened attentively. She didn't expect that Concubine Lu had also experienced such a painful pregnancy reaction.

Lu Bin continued, "At that time, I relied entirely on the sour apricots handed down from my family, otherwise I couldn't eat a single bite.

My family's ancestral sour apricots are pickled using a secret recipe. They are sweet and sour, appetizing, sweet and mild in nature, and warming, especially good for pregnant women. I specially prepared some for Princess Sheng An to try."

Li Shiliu nodded gratefully, and the palace maid next to her immediately understood and brought over a small plate of bright golden sour apricots.

Just by smelling the rich sweet and sour aroma, Li Shiliu felt her mouth watering and the appetite in her stomach was instantly aroused.

Smiling shyly at Lu Bin, Li Shiliu could not wait to pick up a sour apricot with a silver skewer and put it into her mouth. She chewed it carefully, and the sour and sweet taste immediately made her feel extremely satisfied. She couldn't help but eat a few more...

Seeing Li Shiliu eating happily and contentedly, Concubine Lu was also very pleased.

"As long as Princess Sheng'an likes it, I'm glad. I've prepared a large jar of sour apricots for you to take back and eat slowly. With them, I believe you will suffer less." Concubine Lu said gently.

Li Shiliu quickly thanked him and said that the gift was just right.

Gifts should touch people's hearts. Once the sour food was eaten, the women started to talk about interesting things about pregnancy.

Although Li Shiliu often entered the palace before, she had her master, the Grand Princess, behind her. She knew that she needed to avoid suspicion and did not want to be involved in the affairs of Emperor Jiade's harem. Therefore, except for Concubine Yun who was in charge of palace affairs, her relationship with other concubines in the harem was very ordinary.

But today, this Concubine Lu showed great enthusiasm and kindness, which surprised Li Shiliu a little.

Although Concubine Lu was nominally born into the Lu family, one of the five great families, in reality she had no family background to rely on.

However, Concubine Lu has been up and down in the harem for more than ten years. Not only did she give birth to four children safely, she was also about to be promoted to one of the four concubines. This shows that she must have extraordinary abilities and means.

The struggle in the court is no less than a war, and the struggle in the harem is no less than that in the court. In such a cannibalistic environment in the harem, naive people are destined to have no way to survive.

Li Shiliu knew this very well, so when Concubine Lu suddenly expressed her affection for her, she immediately realized that there must be a deeper meaning behind it.

As expected, Concubine Lu got straight to the point and said, "Princess Sheng'an must be wondering if I have any other intentions by being so friendly to you today?"

Li Shiliu was slightly stunned and waited for Concubine Lu to continue.

Lupin smiled and said, "Princess Sheng'an, don't be too nervous. I really want to befriend you.

My brother praised Princess Sheng'an highly, saying that Princess Sheng'an had some of the demeanor of the eldest princess, was resourceful, and had a decisive character. If she were a man, she would surely become a general or a prime minister.

I have admired Princess Sheng An for a long time. I wonder if I will have the honor to let the child in Princess Sheng An's belly be a companion to the 27th prince in the future?"
