Chapter 39 Miscarriage
Concubine Gao was the concubine who was pregnant before.
Ji Yunqing remembered very clearly that Xuancao once said that Concubine Gao was only one and a half months pregnant.
She rolled her eyes and said in a gentle and virtuous manner, "My Lord, please go and see Sister Gao as soon as possible. She is pregnant now, and you can't wait and see her."
Ji Yunqing said this as he struggled to sit up again, looking well-behaved and sensible.
King Zhao's attitude did not pause for a moment, and he suppressed Ji Yunqing's movements with his big hand: "Okay, you just continue to lie down, I will go over to take a look, no need to go out to see you off."
After saying this, he left without looking back, in a hurry, looking really anxious.
After a while, Ji Yunqing heard the voices of maids and servants greeting each other outside, and then King Zhao said, "Take good care of your master."
Ji Yunqing curled his lips, lay down on the soft and smooth mattress, and covered himself with a small quilt.
Xuancao walked in quietly and said, "Master, the prince still has you in his heart. He showed special concern for you before leaving."
"I know."
Ji Yunqing spoke in a soft and obedient tone, with a slight hoarseness in her voice. She stared blankly at the intricate and beautiful pomegranate embroidery on the bed curtains: "That is the prince's child. He must be looking forward to it. It is right for the prince to worry. I am fine."
"master......"
Hemerocallis couldn't help but choke up with sobs.
The prince clearly came to the master's place today, and the master has really suffered a great injustice.
After Master Ji and others left, he, who had suffered a great injustice, lay down on the spacious bed and had a good sleep.
What a wonderful thing it is that there is no man with a strong presence occupying half of her bed!
The next morning, when Ji Yunqing went to the princess' main courtyard to check in, he learned some bad news.
Concubine Gao had a miscarriage!
Ji Yunqing was so shocked that she couldn't speak. How could she have a miscarriage?
What is going on?
Who did it?
She quietly glanced at everyone's faces, and they all looked the same as usual.
The princess was calm and dignified. She only said that Concubine Gao was exempted from paying respects during this period and asked her to take good care of her health.
Concubine Wen still looks down on everyone, Concubine Li still lives a peaceful life, Concubine Lou still has a weak presence, and Concubine Xu is still bright and charming.
Even the concubines who were standing there were just a little more shocked and regretful, while the pregnant ones were a little more afraid.
Concubine Wen smiled and said with regret: "What a pity!"
She raised her eyes, her face as pretty as a flower, and looked up, saying nonchalantly, "Princess, please tell us what happened to Concubine Gao? This way, the other sisters can also be alarmed."
As she spoke, her eyes fell on the bellies of several pregnant women.
The princess said in a deep voice: "Concubine Wen, don't scare them. Concubine Gao just had an accident."
Concubine Wen raised her eyebrows and spoke lazily, "It turned out to be an accident!"
"It's really boring."
The princess ignored her and turned to talk to everyone, "Those who are found to be pregnant do not need to come to pay respects during this period. Now is a critical period for you, so don't act rashly."
This was not the first time she had said this. She had said this before when Concubine Jian was pregnant. Later, when other people became pregnant, they were also exempted from paying respects according to the rules.
Only today, people came in an orderly manner.
Concubine Li thanked her softly, "Thank you for your grace, Princess. However, I am still in good health. The doctor also told me to walk more and exercise more. I can still hold on."
The princess disapproved, "How can you be so willful? Paying respects is just a small matter. The most important thing is to give birth to a child for the prince. Don't force yourself.
If you want to move around, you can walk around your yard for a while, it won't cause any trouble, don't make the prince worry."
Concubine Li wanted to insist, but Concubine Wen said impatiently, "Come on, why are you taking so long? It doesn't matter if you are strong, the others who are pregnant with you should follow your example.
They won’t be able to have a peaceful pregnancy and they may not be able to hold on.”
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere suddenly changed.
Everyone looked at Concubine Li. She, a concubine, had to continue paying her respects. How could this be possible if others didn't come?
Could this be what Concubine Li meant?
Concubine Li was still gentle: "Originally, I just thought I could do it. Since Concubine Wen said so, I will respectfully obey your order and thank you for your grace."
Ji Yunqing was secretly envious in his heart, as he didn’t have to pay his respects to his parents for several months!
How come someone doesn't want it?
What a wonderful thing it is!
However, Ji Yunqing guessed that there was a high probability that if he did not check in with the princess, he would not be able to update the information in time. If the information was a step late, he might make a wrong judgment, thus affecting his own development.
Apart from anything else, the princess would tell everyone in the morning, such as if so-and-so was pregnant again. People who were not there would definitely not hear the information.
Also, if someone throws a basin of dirty water on you, those present can refute it on the spot, but those who are not present will suffer.
but!
People like Ji Yunqing who just come to see the show everyday feel that there is no need for them to come or not.
Anyway, she just stood there from beginning to end without saying a word.
When they were going back, Ji Yunqing was about to say hello to Concubine Liu who was walking with him, but the other party seemed not to hear him at all and walked straight towards Concubine Zhao.
His face was full of familiar enthusiasm, and Ji Yunqing found him very familiar.
Concubine Zhao casually spoke a few words to Concubine Liu, and she received even greater enthusiasm from the other party.
She proudly showed off to Ji Yunqing and pretended to be intimate with Concubine Liu. For a while, the relationship between the two was so close that they were like half-sisters.
Ji Yunqing:? ?
She remembered that Concubine Liu had always been very nice to her and had been very harsh to Concubine Zhao. Why did the situation change now?
Suddenly, a soft voice sounded beside my ear: "Are you surprised?"
Ji Yunqing turned his head and saw that the person who was speaking was Wang's concubine, who had changed into a new outfit but was still adorned with jewels and looked extremely wealthy.
She immediately became alert.
The last time she was in Qianshi Garden, she overheard Concubine Wang whispering and instigating Concubine Zhao to harm the baby in Concubine Jian's belly.
He is a restless and ruthless person, stay away from him!
However, Ji Yunqing didn't show it on her face. She showed just the right amount of doubt, "It's a bit unexpected. Is Concubine Liu's ears not working well enough?"
Is it because Concubine Liu has poor hearing that she can't hear what she says?
Concubine Wang was not prepared for Ji Yunqing to say this. She was slightly stunned and smiled, "No, Concubine Liu has always been like this."
As they walked, she slowly explained, "Perhaps you have heard that Concubine Liu was once the prince's personal maid. She was three years older than the prince.
The prince now only sits for a while in her courtyard and does not ask her to sleep with him. Concubine Liu does not even have a child."
