Chapter 33 The planning begins
Ji Yunqing was secretly alert in her heart. If she became pregnant in the future, these people would be the ones she needed to be most wary of.
Everyone had different thoughts in their minds, but soon they all put on worried expressions.
After a while, a doctor in his forties with a small goatee came in with the child.
The princess was familiar with this person and said directly:
"Doctor Tang, please take a look at Concubine Jian. What's wrong with her? She vomited several times in a row, and her son is still feeling uncomfortable."
When Doctor Tang heard the symptoms and observed that Concubine Jian had a rosy complexion but was feeling tired, weak, nauseous and vomiting, he had a rough idea of what was going on.
But it still needs to be confirmed.
"Don't worry, Princess. I will take the lady's pulse right away."
When Concubine Jian was looked at by the imperial physician, she was so frightened that she didn't care about her chest tightness, shortness of breath, nausea and discomfort. She stood up quickly, holding a handkerchief in her hand, feeling anxious and not knowing what to do with her hands and feet.
Her mind was in a mess and she didn't understand why the princess suddenly treated her so well.
Doctor Tang asked Concubine Jian to stretch out her hand, put his fingers on Concubine Jian's wrist, closed his eyes and remained silent.
Everyone's hearts were lifted.
After a long while, Doctor Tang finally spoke: "It's smooth and round when pressed, just like pressing a ball."
He stood up and said, "Congratulations, Princess, and congratulations to this lady. Judging from her pulse, she is about one month pregnant."
The princess was surprised: "Really?"
Doctor Tang: "I dare not speak nonsense."
"Although this lady is still in good health, she should not worry too much on weekdays. It is beneficial to her body and mind to go out and walk a little every day."
The princess nodded one by one, then asked hesitantly: "Do you need to take some medicine or some tonic?"
Doctor Tang shook his head: "Not for now. Eating more will do no good."
The princess felt relieved. Seeing that the maids around Concubine Jian were also inexperienced, she asked Doctor Tang to remind them of some precautions.
After sending Doctor Tang away, the princess took Concubine Jian's hand and comforted her, "You heard what the doctor said. Don't think too much in the future. Give birth to the child well, and you will have a good life naturally."
Concubine Jian hadn't yet recovered from the huge surprise and could only say blankly, "Yes."
The princess added, "If there is anything you need, just send someone to the main courtyard."
Concubine Jian nodded quickly: "Thank you, Princess."
The princess' smile deepened: "Now that you are pregnant, it is not suitable for you to travel around. From today on, I will stop paying respects and go back to take good care of myself."
Concubine Jian thanked her again: "Thank you, Princess."
"Okay, if there's nothing else, let's go back first."
Everyone agreed and dispersed.
After the crowd dispersed, Madam Lou looked at the princess whose smile disappeared in an instant, and couldn't help but worry: "Princess..."
The princess shook her head: "Mammy, I'm fine."
Madam Lou remained silent, not knowing how to persuade her. Finally, she just said in silence, "Have you made up your mind?"
The princess asked in return, "What else is there to decide?"
There is only one pregnant woman in the palace in all these years.
She didn't want to say anything.
Taking a deep breath and adjusting her mentality, the princess finally decided: "Let's do this for now and see what she gives birth to."
If it was a girl, she would not steal someone else's child.
"Alas! What a pity there is only one..." the princess murmured.
Madam Lou raised one thing: "Princess, Concubine Jian's personality is too... I'm worried, will something happen to her?"
The princess said, "Don't worry about it. The child has a biological mother and a biological father. How can a legitimate mother like me care about him?"
After all, she still felt unhappy.
Why is it someone else who is pregnant?
Others can get pregnant, but what about her?
The princess reached out and stroked her flat abdomen.
On the other side, watching Concubine Jian leave, Ji Yunqing also left quickly.
Now that Concubine Jian is pregnant, no one wants to bother her as the prince's suspected "new favorite", although Ji Yunqing doesn't feel favored at all.
Looking at the princess's performance today, Ji Yunqing really wanted to discuss it with Xuancao.
But looking at the surroundings, although there is no one around now, who knows if there is really anyone there?
I can only figure it out silently in my heart.
The concubine in the backyard is pregnant, but the princess seems very happy. Why?
Unless this matter is beneficial to the princess.
The princess now has only one daughter, and the prince currently has only three children. Does she think that the prince has too few children?
Ji Yunqing stopped suddenly.
No, no, no, it should be that the princess wants a child, and Concubine Jian happens to be pregnant.
The princess wants to adopt Concubine Jian’s child!
In other words, the princess wanted a child, and Concubine Jian happened to be pregnant.
After Ji Yunqing figured it out in her mind, she felt that it was useless for her to figure it out.
The child was not hers, and she was not the one who was going to adopt the child. Unless she was pregnant, this matter had little to do with her.
However, according to King Zhao's ability, Ji Yunqing smiled contemptuously and said, forget it, his ability is not that great.
After figuring it out, Ji Yunqing put aside all distractions and quickened his pace.
As a result, as soon as I walked near Sengoku Garden, I heard a woman's voice talking there.
Ji Yunqing immediately dodged and hid behind a large rock nearby.
The reason why Qianshi Garden is called Qianshi Garden is because there are many large stones piled up here. The big ones are seven or eight meters long, and the smaller stones are about one meter high.
Ji Yunqing hid behind a rock, and with the help of the weeds growing around him, he was able to conceal his figure perfectly.
The daylily is also very smart and cleverly hides behind another stone.
The master and servant held their breath and pricked up their ears to listen to the two people talking.
Ji Yunqing said silently in his heart, look, this is the result of talking outside, although it is possible that someone could hear it.
"Concubine Zhao, I am really worried about you, alas!"
Concubine Zhao: "Why are you in such a hurry? Don't you have no children?"
The man choked and said after a while: "I can't help it. The prince prefers to favor new people. Now is a good time for you and Ji Shiqi to share his favor equally. Unfortunately... the prince favors Ji Shiqi who has no vision more."
Concubine Zhao: "The prince can favor whoever he wants. It's useless for you to tell me these things. Why don't you go and talk to the prince?"
"...How can you and I control the prince's thoughts?"
"That's it, isn't it? There's nothing anyone can do. We can only wait."
Concubine Zhao rolled her eyes and said, "If there's nothing else, I'll leave first."
"Don't leave!"
The man was anxious: "It's not that there is no way. You know in your heart that the prince is now completely obsessed with that silly girl."
Ji Yunqing: ...Silly girl?
She gritted her teeth secretly, she had to find out who this person was today!
Quietly going to the other side, Ji Yunqing slowly leaned forward and could only see the man's profile.
But it did not stop Ji Yunqing from recognizing the person. She was wearing clothes full of jewels and gems. It turned out to be Wang's concubine!
Concubine Wang said patiently and considerately, "Everyone in the mansion knows that two new people came into the mansion a few years ago. Concubine Zhao is fresh and refined, and has a sharp mind, while Ji Yunqing has vulgar manners and is a bumpkin.
The prince favored that country bumpkin more and ignored the shining concubine Zhao who was like a bright pearl. "
It was visibly apparent that Concubine Zhao's complexion had improved a lot, and she was no longer in a hurry to leave.
"You go on."
