Yixiu is reborn, fights against her elder sister, and becomes the queen mother

Qixiang Palace

Ruhua's face was now flushed red, and she was drinking tea desperately to relieve the spicy taste in her mouth.

She thought that she must be pregnant with a prince, but she must not let others find out. The concubines in the harem were always jealous. If they knew that she was pregnant with a prince, they would definitely harm her.

After Chunmei helped Ruhua wash up and was about to put the curtain aside for her to sleep, Ruhua grabbed Chunmei.

She looked around furtively, and finally whispered, "Chunmei, do you have any sour dried apricots?"

Chunmei was stunned for a moment. "My lady, do you want to eat some sour dried apricots now? Then I will go to the imperial kitchen and get some for you."

Although asking for food late at night is really annoying, Ru promised that she is pregnant and everything should be based on the heir to the throne.

Ruhua pouted, her big mouth opening and closing as she spoke to Chunmei, "In this palace, if there's a happy event, there are so many eyes watching! If this princess is pregnant with a prince, then we really have to be careful. I don't want the emperor to be happy too soon, nor do I want those people to be unhappy too soon."

Chunmei really didn't know what to say to Ruhua.

To put it bluntly, if someone really wants to attack you, no matter whether you are a prince or princess, will they not attack you just because you are pregnant with a princess?

Besides, this time, there are six pairs of eyes, including the Empress Dowager, the Empress, and the Emperor, staring at them. How can the people in the harem dare to take action?

"My dear, what nonsense are you talking about? How could it be so? If you want something sour, then just eat it directly."

But Chunmei really couldn't be convinced. Ruhua rolled her eyes angrily and turned her back.

Chunmei curled the corners of her mouth. She really wanted to find a mirror for Ru Ying to look at herself. She didn't even look at what her face looked like now, but she still had to pretend to be a cute girl.

Chunmei was on guard outside in the middle of the night and was already feeling drowsy. Ruhua quietly put on her shoes, looked around furtively, and wanted to go to the imperial kitchen to steal some sour dried apricots.

Even when she went to the imperial kitchen to steal sour dried apricots, Ruhua did not forget her dignity. She put on a heavy set of armor, then ran out stealthily with her fingers clenched.

Chunmei was awakened by Ruhua's noise. She rubbed her eyes and said, "Ru promised, where are you going at this late hour with armor on?"

Ruhua's eyes turned furtively, and she pouted as she said, "I can't sleep tonight, so I want to go out for a walk."

Chunmei had no choice but to put a piece of clothing on her and prepare to go out with Ruhua.

"My lady, it's so late, let's just walk and go back!"

As soon as Ruhua walked out of her palace, she walked towards the imperial kitchen.

She waved her hand and said, "I guess the little princess in my belly couldn't sleep at night and wanted to go out for a walk."

Chunmei sighed, she really didn't know what to say or agree to.

It might be foolish of her to agree to this, but she knew that once a woman became pregnant in the harem, everyone would be watching her, and people would even tell others that she was pregnant with a princess.

But you say she is smart, forget it, I won’t say it anymore, it’s too unlucky.

Chunmei could only accompany Ruhua to the door of the imperial kitchen. The lights in the imperial kitchen were still on. Even in the middle of the night, there would be someone on duty. In case any master in the palace couldn't sleep at night and suddenly wanted to have some midnight snacks, they would not be left without any.

The closer Ruhua got to the imperial kitchen, the more furtively she looked around. Little did she know that the more she did so, the more alert others would become.

Chunmei felt it was extremely embarrassing to be around such a master. With a pale face, she pulled Laru and agreed, "My lady, are you hungry? If so, just tell this servant to go to the imperial kitchen and order you some midnight snack. Why are you looking around here?"

Ruhua made a gesture to Chunmei to keep quiet, then she bent down confidently and crawled stealthily towards the imperial kitchen.

Chunmei stood there in a daze. What on earth was Ru Dancing doing?

But when she came to her senses, Ru Ding had already crawled into the imperial kitchen.

The imperial kitchen has a wide variety of dishes. Ruhua found the sour dried apricots she had been longing for according to the dish name.

She picked up a sour dried apricot, put it in her mouth and squinted her eyes in satisfaction.

"Well, it's still not sour enough. I think the baby in my belly must be a prince."

After saying that, she didn't forget to stuff a few more into her mouth.

It happened so quickly that just as Ruhua was greedily putting the sour dried apricots into her mouth, a ladle hit her head hard.

"Where did this little thief come from? How dare you steal the dried fruits and eat your grandfather's whole bucket of water!"

The cook who stayed in the imperial kitchen tonight smashed the ladle hard on Ruhua's head and cursed.

Ruhua was wearing a cloak tonight, and he did not recognize Ruhua as his master. After all, which master would sneak into the imperial kitchen in the middle of the night to eat sour dried apricots?

Ruhua screamed in pain and subconsciously swallowed the sour dried apricots, fearing that others would find out that she was pregnant with a prince.

"How dare you! I am the Emperor's most beloved concubine, and now I'm pregnant! How dare you offend me!"

Chunmei finally found Ruhua at this time. She hurried to Ruhua and bowed to the imperial chef.

"Ru promised that I couldn't sleep tonight and wanted to go out for a walk. I don't know how I ended up in the imperial kitchen. I'm really sorry for offending you. I apologize to you."

The cook opened his mouth wide enough to fit an egg. He asked in a trembling voice, "Are you the pregnant Ru Dancing who wants to eat spicy and savory dishes?"

Ruhua nodded and said, "Now that I'm pregnant, I want to eat some fresh, spicy dishes. Now that we're in the imperial kitchen, I'm a little hungry. Please go and make some fresh, spicy dishes for me."

The cook was a little puzzled. He glanced at the dried apricots that Ruhua had already eaten a lot of and asked, "I saw you eat so many dried apricots just now, why do you suddenly want to eat spicy food?"

Ruhua was so frightened when she heard the cook say this that she looked around. She pouted, "What are you talking about? When did I ever eat something sour? The last thing I want to eat right now is something sour."

The cook was about to be confused by Ruhua. He scratched his head irritably and said, "The kitchen is too greasy. Ru Yan is the master and pregnant. She really shouldn't be here. You should go back first!"

Ruhua leaned back stealthily, grabbed a handful of dried apricots and hid them in her clothes.

However, she instructed the cook, "Don't forget to bring me some delicious and spicy dishes tonight."
