This palace comes back in this life, only to be Nian Shilan

Chapter 39: Xin Chang Heaving

Hua Fei was originally playing with a cloth tiger to entertain Wen Yi. When she heard Xin Changzai's sharp comments, she glanced at him and said angrily, "What nonsense are you talking about in front of the child? Aren't you afraid of teaching the child bad habits?"

Linglong lay beside Concubine Hua, watching Wen Yi babbling on the couch, and used her little finger to pop the bubbles that Wen Yi spit out.

"Empress Hua, the Emperor hasn't come to see Linglong for a long time. Is it because Linglong did something wrong?"

After Linglong was raised by Concubine Xin, the emperor would visit Concubine Xin from time to time and listen to Linglong recite the Three Character Classic.

But ever since a sister started singing opera in the palace, the Emperor hasn't come to listen to Linglong recite the Three Character Classic for a long time.

Linglong was puzzled, but she believed that Empress Hua must know the reason.

"Good child, your father is busy with official business, and the New Year is coming soon. Your father should also hurry up to handle official business. Only when he stops writing after the New Year can he play with Linglong for a while longer."

Concubine Hua couldn't bear to see Linglong being influenced by the intrigues of the women in the palace since she was a child, so she could only think of a lie to coax Linglong.

"Aunt Songzhi made your favorite duck red bean paste buns for you. They should be ready now." Concubine Hua stroked the delicate and chewy little face with her delicate fingers.

"Since mother said so, Linglong should recite more Three Character Classic and recite it to the Emperor when he comes." The child didn't have any thoughts at all. He became happy when he heard the adults' words and followed Songzhi to eat the duck bean paste buns.

"The emperor now favors Yu Guan's daughter. I'm afraid she will be promoted again after the new year." After Linglong left, Shen Meizhuang couldn't help but sigh.

When she first heard this, Concubine Hua thought Shen Meizhuang had also been reborn. However, sensing the slight sourness in Shen Meizhuang's words, Concubine Hua felt relieved.

In this life, Shen Meizhuang still has feelings for the emperor, but it is unknown when Shen Meizhuang will be able to see through the reality that the emperor is fickle and the emperor's grace is like flowing water.

"Don't worry, Sister Shen. There are many people who are more anxious than us." Xin Chang said after taking a sip of the Rain Dragon Well. The new tea from Concubine Hua's palace is still the best. It has a much sweeter aftertaste than the old tea from the Queen's palace.

Concubine Jing remained silent. She and Concubine Hua were both experienced people. One had to experience it personally to fully understand the emperor's fickleness.

"Mom, the little duck is so delicious." Linglong walked in with a duck bean paste bun in one hand, and was about to feed the bean paste bun into Xinchang's mouth.

Linglong thought to herself, what my mother said was right, the snacks in Empress Hua's palace were delicious, and the tea was also tasty.

Xin Chang opened her mouth and took the snacks her daughter fed her as usual.

For some reason, the red bean paste buns that usually smelled sweet felt ten times sweeter to Xin Changzai. She couldn't control herself and hurriedly covered her mouth with a handkerchief.

"Hmm~"

"Mom, what's wrong with you?" Linglong was very scared. She had never been like this before when feeding her mother.

When Concubine Jing and Concubine Hua saw Concubine Xin like this, they immediately guessed what was going on.

Concubine Jing hurried forward to pat Concubine Xin on the back, to help her calm down, and asked her if she had her menstrual period this month.

Concubine Xin had also given birth before, and after being reminded by Concubine Jing, she realized that if she calculated the days, it might be possible.

Xin Chang was so confused that he started to dry heave again.

Perhaps it was because Xin Changzai's dry heaving was too hard, Shen Meizhuang also felt uncomfortable with her stomach churning, and she covered her mouth with a handkerchief to suppress her discomfort.

Concubine Hua looked at Concubine Xin and was thinking about how to call the imperial physician to see her. At the corner of her eye, she noticed that Shen Meizhuang was also touching her chest and looked very uncomfortable.

Linglong saw Empress Shen and her own mother retching in the palace, and thought there was something wrong with her bean paste buns, so she was so scared that she burst into tears.

"Wow... Linglong will never eat ducklings again."

Wen Yi was almost asleep on the couch, but when he heard Linglong crying, he also started crying.

Suddenly, the Yikun Palace was in chaos.

Even though Concubine Hua was reborn, she had never seen such a scene. Two people who looked like pregnant women were retching, a little kid was sitting on the ground crying loudly, and he didn't forget to stuff the bean paste bun into his mouth even though his little golden beans were falling out. The ignorant baby on the couch was also crying.

Concubine Hua is now in a state of great worry. She is just glad that she cannot get pregnant. It is also good not to have a child.

After sorting out her thoughts, Concubine Hua asked the wet nurse to come in and take Wen Yi out to coax her to sleep, and asked Liuxiang to take Linglong out to make a snowman. She then asked Zhou Ninghai to go to the Imperial Hospital to invite Wen Shichu over.

Concubine Hua thought that the previous two times she had asked Wen Shichu for help secretly, which did not attract attention. Now that she had gone public, she was afraid that Wen Shichu would make a lot of enemies in the Imperial Hospital.

However, since Shen Meizhuang and Xin Chang were pregnant, Concubine Hua did not dare to take the risk.

In order to invite brother Jiang Cheng to come over, she had to light the Huanyi incense to cover up her tracks, which was risky for Shen Meizhuang and Xin Changzai.

After much deliberation, Concubine Hua finally chose Wen Shichu.

After the two children were taken away from the main hall, the place suddenly became quiet.

Xin Changzai and Shen Meizhuang heaved for a while before calming down.

Four women in a room, each with their own ideas.

Hua Fei was thinking that if she was really pregnant, she should ask them to stay away, otherwise the fact that Huan Yixiang was swapped would be easily exposed. And there was also the matter of preserving the fetus. Both of them were pregnant at once, and Hua Fei could not think of a foolproof plan to preserve the two children.

Concubine Jing thought that after she gave up her love for Concubine Hua, she was a lucky star. All women who followed her could have children, so she thought that following Concubine Hua was a future.

Although Xin Changzai was happy, she was more anxious. She had given birth and had miscarriages before, so she was now 90% sure whether she was pregnant or not.

But Xinchang became anxious again when she thought about the baby in her belly. Maybe she had not recovered from her last miscarriage yet. What if it was not good for the baby?

And there is the Queen. She will definitely not let her child go this time. How should she protect the child in her belly?

Shen Meizhuang's story was not as complicated as she thought. She was just very excited and nervous. She clenched her handkerchief and waited for Wen Shichu to come and give her an accurate answer. She had been looking forward to having this child for a long time.

Just like that, the four people waited for Wen Shichu to come with twelve thoughts in mind.

After Wen Shichu came in with the medicine box, he paid his respects to Concubine Hua, Concubine Jing, Noble Lady Shen and Concubine Xin in order according to etiquette.

After paying her respects, Concubine Hua asked Wen Shichu to take Concubine Xin's pulse first.

Wen Shichu took out a medicine pillow and placed it under Xin Changzai's wrist, then took out a medicine handkerchief and covered Xin Changzai's wrist. After completing the formalities, he lightly tapped her wrist with four fingers and felt her pulse.

After a diagnosis, Wen Shichu knelt down to answer Hua Fei and Xin Changzai.
