Demoted from wife to concubine? Reborn, the mistress of a noble family plots another high-status mar

Chapter 694

The next day, Pei Shang brought Gong Shu into the palace.

Because she hadn't been out for a long time, she was afraid to go out alone, and the news of Wan Jiaojiao's miscarriage also frightened her.

Unlike Madam Zhou, who was considered crazy, Madam Pei had been well taken care of during this time.

Looking at Gong Shu's round little face, Yun Xiyue smiled like an aunt, "Little Shu, slow down."

Just as the two sat down, Yun Xiaohan brought Xiao Ling'er into the palace.

Because she was pregnant, Xiao Ling'er felt bored staying at home all by herself, so she wanted to chat with Yun Xiyue.

Yun Xiaohan was afraid that she would overthink things, so he took her to the palace.

"Sister-in-law."

In comparison, Xiao Ling'er was very thin, even thinner than before she was pregnant, which startled everyone. "Sister-in-law, is your morning sickness severe?"

Gong Shu was unaware of their affair and assumed that she was suffering from morning sickness and not eating well, which was why she was so thin.

Xiao Ling'er smiled and said, "Yes, a little, but I didn't vomit. It was my husband who vomited last night. The divine doctor said that this is also morning sickness, and sometimes the husband will have a reaction while the wife does not."

"Really? Then Sister Xiyue, did you have morning sickness?" Gong Shu looked at Xiao Ling'er with curiosity and envy. She had a terrible time with morning sickness. If only someone else could take her place!

Yun Xiyue smiled and said, "I haven't... I shouldn't have morning sickness yet, and the Emperor hasn't had any either."

“That’s good.” Gong Shu said, talking about her morning sickness. “It was so uncomfortable, and my husband wasn’t by my side.”

She is pitiful.

Pei Shang felt sorry for her and said, "I will never leave again. I will stay with you from now on."

"Hmph! Then you can't leave me when I give birth."

Their relationship blossomed, and absence made the heart grow fonder.

Yun Xiaohan and Xiao Ling'er also had some sparks flying, but both of them had their own thoughts on their minds, and their smiles seemed forced.

The doctor said she couldn't stay depressed all the time and needed to relax. Otherwise, it would affect the baby.

Xiao Ling'er tried her best not to think about those things, but with Gong Shu, that little chatterbox, around, things quickly became cheerful.

For a time, the Jiaofang Palace was filled with joy and laughter.

"Your Majesty, Princess Rui requests an audience."

As soon as he finished speaking, the laughter of the group stopped abruptly.

"I've met the Queen."

"What a lively day!" Zhang Chuhuan's pregnancy is going well; she's only gaining weight in her belly and not in any other part of her body. She's dressed beautifully as she enters the palace.

Upon seeing Pei Shang, she froze, and Yun Xiyue noticed the dazed look in her eyes.

"Princess Rui, please have a seat. Is there anything you need to do at the palace at this hour?"

Zhang Chuhuan glanced at Pei Shang before sitting down, supporting her back. "Sister-in-law, is this a sign of disrespect?"

"No, it's just that you're about to give birth! I was worried about you. If it were just a small matter, I could have just sent someone to the palace to let you know. There was no need for you to go through all this trouble to come to the palace," Yun Xiyue said with a smile.

Zhang Chuhuan smiled and said, "I get bored staying in the Prince's mansion. The doctor said that moving around more at this time will help with childbirth."

As he spoke, his gaze fell upon her stomach.

"Strange, is Your Majesty's belly four or five months along? It seems even bigger than when I was five months pregnant."

She didn't even notice unless she said anything.

Gong Shu looked over and found that she was indeed a little bigger than she had been at that time, especially since Yun Xiyue only gained weight in her belly and not in her body.

It looks round and bulging, definitely larger than a normal four-month pregnancy, as if it were five months pregnant.

Yun Xiyue subconsciously covered her stomach, "Maybe it's because I eat a lot that my stomach grows so fast."

Gong Shu said, "Then you'll have to watch your diet in July and August. I heard that if you're too big, it's harder to give birth."

"It's only been four months, so it doesn't matter."

Yunxi Yue Sha Jie nodded as if she had something to say, "Mm."

They chatted for a while and then decided to leave.

Pei Shang and Yun Xiaohan both carefully protected their wives.

Zhang Chuhuan entered the palace alone.

The Emperor also forbade Prince Rui from entering the palace at will.
