An Lingrong's Rebirth: I will not offend others unless they offend me

When Mrs. Shen saw that her daughter did not respond, she quickly smiled and tried to smooth things over.

"Doctor Chen, Concubine He of the Yanxi Palace suffered a difficult labor, and I think she frightened the Empress. She just returned from visiting the Ninth Prince at the Yanxi Palace, and she's inevitably feeling a little uneasy... I hope Doctor Chen won't take offense."

This doctor Chenpi has some connections with the Shen family, and the dragon fetus in his daughter's belly needs his careful care.

Mrs. Shen didn't want people to feel uncomfortable because of her daughter's misconduct, which would give bad people an opportunity to take advantage of her.

"Mrs. Shen, you are too polite. I have also heard about Concubine He's incident. It was just an accident."

Chenpi bowed to the two of them.

"Her Majesty Hui is due to give birth next month. I, your humble servant, would like to ask you to put yourself first and not stand under such a precarious situation."

"Doctor Chen, I've made note of this."

Shen Meizhuang forced a smile and looked at the person standing not far away.

"I've been so sorry for the trouble Doctor Chen has taken these days. Qingju, please see Doctor Chen off on my behalf."

Her hand brushed across the pouch at her waist, and Qingju instantly understood what her master meant.

"Doctor Chen, please..."

Mrs. Shen looked at Qingju stuffing a purse into Doctor Chen's pocket outside the palace, and patted her daughter's hand with satisfaction.

"With Doctor Chen watching over you, you will definitely be able to give birth to the little prince safely."

"But why do you feel your hands are colder than usual?"

Mrs. Shen quickly wrapped her daughter's hand tightly in her palm.

"This capital city is indeed a bit colder than Jeju. When I first came back, I was also covering my baby with my hands. You are about to give birth, so you should pay more attention to keeping warm."

"Mei'er, just listen to Doctor Chen and don't go out again before the baby is born."

"Okay, daughter listens to her mother."

Shen Meizhuang snuggled in her mother's arms, her nose filled with the reassuring and familiar scent of her mother, and tears quietly rolled down her cheeks.

Mother, I am an unfilial daughter!

Not only was she molested, but she also became pregnant with the bad guy's child.

Only I know what happened between me and the emperor that night.

Later, the emperor was busy with spring plowing and almost fell asleep as soon as he arrived at Bitong Academy.

Shen Meizhuang knew better than anyone who the child belonged to.

What about the other party?

Does Prince Guo, who spoke on her behalf in front of the emperor today, know this?

Shen Meizhuang wasn't quite sure, but she had her own way to verify it.

Mrs. Shen, who was gently patting her daughter's back, noticed something was wrong. She gently pushed her daughter's head away, only to find that the person in her arms was already in tears.

"Mei'er, what's wrong with you?"

She took out a snow-white handkerchief and wiped her daughter's tears with heartache.

"We women do have wild thoughts before giving birth. But think carefully, the father of your unborn child is the emperor, the doctors in the Imperial Hospital are all knowledgeable, and the midwives and wet nurses prepared by the Imperial Household Department are also carefully selected."

"Mei'er, you are gentle by nature, unlike Concubine He who is so competitive. You will definitely give birth to a prince smoothly."

Mrs. Shen caressed her daughter's hair lovingly.

"Don't worry, Mother will always be with you. On the day of your birth, Mother and the nanny will go into the delivery room with you."

Shen Meizhuang lowered her head and made up an excuse to avoid worrying her mother.

"Mother, when I saw you, I felt as if I were back in my boudoir."

"My daughter thinks I'm still a child, how can I give birth to another child?"

Mrs. Shen was stunned, patted her shoulder, and reminded her with a serious face.

"Mei'er, it's fine to say this in front of mother, but you must not spread it outside. Otherwise, if it gets out, it will probably turn into your dissatisfaction with bearing a child for the emperor."

"As a concubine, you must be careful with your words and actions. You must never joke about the dragon fetus in your belly!"

"Mother, I've made a note of this and will never let you worry again."

Shen Meizhuang leaned back on Mrs. Shen's shoulder and gently shook her hand.

"Mother, I want to hear what has happened in our Jeju family over the years. Please take the trouble to tell me."

"You never tire of hearing about Jeju. The next time Mother comes to see you, I'm afraid she'll bring a storyteller with her."

Although Mrs. Shen had some anger in her voice, she still fulfilled her daughter's wish and began to tell her about every detail of her family.

Later, Longyue, who came to talk to her mother and grandmother, also came over to listen. The well-behaved girl would refill her grandmother's tea from time to time as she spoke until her mouth was dry.

As a result, Mrs. Shen, who was talking excitedly, did not notice the occasional flash of sadness in her daughter's eyes.

When Zhen Huan, who had stopped the subordinates from reporting the incident, arrived, she saw such a scene of loving grandmother and filial grandson. She quickly took a step back and signaled Cui Jinxi to go out.

"Qingju, Sister Mei and Auntie haven't seen each other for many years, so I won't go in to disturb them. I heard that Sister Mei is unwell and has called the imperial physician. Please give her the ginseng in the brocade box."

"Please rest assured, Madam Zhenpin, I will definitely convey your good intentions."

Qingju sent the person out of the palace before turning back.

The lady said that Concubine Zhen was very cunning and wanted her to protect her master well.

Her mistress is going to give birth next month, so it would be better for her to come to the palace less often.

When Concubine Zhen did not return to the palace, Concubine He stayed in the palace to take care of her pregnancy.

When she came back, Concubine He took the opportunity to run to Zhongcui Palace and the nearby Imperial Garden.

Qingju would never believe that Concubine Zhen had nothing to do with it.

Liu Zhu, Xiao Yunzi and Gao Changjin, who served Concubine Zhen, all met with accidents one after another. Qingju felt that this person was very evil.

She thought about it and told the eunuch guarding the gate not to report Zhenpin's visit to the master.

Qingju secretly gave the ginseng sent by Zhen Huan to Mrs. Shen.

Mrs. Shen held it in her hand and examined it carefully for a while, then threw it aside.

"From now on, don't bring the things sent by Zhenpin to the young lady. After you report it, put it away in a corner of the warehouse."

"Yes, the servant understands."

Qingju didn't hesitate for a few breaths and asked in a low voice.

"Madam, but is this ginseng fake again?"

"Another fake? This..."

To Mrs. Shen's surprise, Qingju skillfully took out two good-quality "ginsengs" from the box.

"Madam, please look, this is what Concubine Zhen gave to the master a few years ago to nourish her body."

After a careful examination, Mrs. Shen remained silent.

Her silly daughter! She really is...

"Qingju, put these two ginsengs back to their original places."

Mrs. Shen went to find her daughter with the brocade box that Zhen Huan had just sent.

She just opened the box containing ginseng, and Shen Meizhuang asked in surprise.

"Mother, how did you know that your daughter wanted to send supplements to the Emperor? This ginseng is brought just in time."

"My daughter heard that at the end of every year, the Emperor spends day and night in the Yangxin Palace processing memorials. A bowl of hot ginseng chicken soup is just the right thing to do."

Seeing that her daughter knew how to please the emperor, Mrs. Shen felt that what she had said in the past few days had finally worked.

But when he thought that she wanted to use the ginseng in his hand, his face turned stern again.

"This ginseng isn't old enough. Mother has a better one. She'll have it delivered to you later."
