Chapter 78: Pregnant!
"what's wrong?"
As soon as Ji Yunqing saw the old doctor's appearance, his face immediately changed and he became nervous.
Her face turned pale, and she didn't care that the prince was beside her. She looked at the doctor anxiously and asked questions repeatedly.
"Doctor, I, I am not seriously ill. Am I going to die?"
Ji Yunqing breathed rapidly, "I feel like I can eat and sleep well. Now I can sleep until noon every day, and I can eat three bowls of rice or six steamed buns at a meal. There's no reason for me to get sick."
Three bowls of rice...
Six steamed buns...
When King Zhao heard what she said, he couldn't help but think: It seems that Ji is usually restrained in front of him.
He was not restrained at all. He would have thirty-six dishes for one meal, and Ji could eat a small half of them himself.
Every time, King Zhao suspected that the palace was treating her harshly.
The doctor was urged by Ji Yunqing to stop, and said slowly: "My concubine, please be patient."
"How can I be at ease?"
Ji Yunqing had already begun to think seriously. She looked at King Zhao and asked, "Your Majesty, if the disease I have is a new disease that no one has ever had before, can it be named after me?
This can be considered as a name that will be passed down through the ages, right?"
"What nonsense are you talking about?" King Zhao looked at the doctor coldly and ordered, "Treat Concubine Ji well. If she is not well, you will not be allowed to stay in this King Zhao's mansion."
The doctor was shocked and spoke faster: "Your Highness, don't worry. Concubine Ji's illness is not sick."
"Are you not sick?"
Ji Yunqing's eyes lit up, but then he became depressed again, muttering in a low voice: "Is it really because I don't exercise?"
The doctor felt that if she didn't continue, her career would be in great danger, so she finished speaking in one breath: "Congratulations, Your Majesty, congratulations, Concubine Ji is pregnant!"
"Are you pregnant?"
The two said in unison.
Others who heard this were also shocked.
Hemerocallis seemed to be hit on the head. "Oh my God, my master has been picking beans, hugging beans and drying beans every day. He has been working hard. There won't be any problems, right?"
Xiuqiu also chimed in: "I was thinking that there must be something wrong with the master's menstruation not coming, right?
The master also said that it was difficult to have children because of the fall into the water, and that irregular periods were normal. He also comforted me by saying that I didn’t even need to use a menstrual belt. Isn’t that a saving? "
The suspicion in King Zhao's eyes lessened a little. Judging from the reactions of the master and servants, it seemed that Ji was not deliberately hiding her pregnancy and she really didn't know.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have thought of himself as sick, let alone picked up beans.
But no one in the yard knew that this person was pregnant. King Zhao couldn't help but frown, thinking that these servants were too unreliable.
He thought for a moment and said, "Shi Yan, I remember that two maids were released from the Mother Concubine's Palace last month. Go and ask if anyone is willing to come."
Shi Yan's heart trembled: "Yes"
There were so many pregnant women in the palace some time ago, but the prince did not grant anyone a pregnancy. This time, he actually intervened personally.
When Ji Yunqing heard this, she immediately asked happily: "Prince, are you going to find a nanny for me? That's great, Your Majesty is so kind!"
King Zhao glanced at her and asked, "Do you know what's good about me?"
Who is Ji Yunqing? He spoke sweet words without hesitation, "...In my heart, Your Majesty, no one can rival you..."
King Zhao was immune to her compliments. After resolving the key issue, he casually asked, "How many months has Ji been pregnant?"
This question was easy to answer. The doctor answered simply: "Your Highness, it has been six months."
To be honest, he was also very puzzled. How could Concubine Ji not know about the pregnancy after such a long time?
Could it be that she didn't notice the baby moving in her belly?
At the same time, King Zhao also thought of this and asked about it.
Ji Yunqing blinked innocently and said without thinking: "When my stomach moved, I thought I was hungry. I just need to eat more."
King Zhao: “…”
doctor:"……"
other people:"……"
King Zhao took a deep breath, turned around and told Shi Yan: "Go tomorrow, no, today, and be sure to invite a nanny who can take care of the pregnancy!"
What a mistake.
He only knew that although the woman in front of him was interesting, her personality was hard to describe. However, he never expected that she didn't even understand this kind of thing!
When Ji Yunqing learned that she was pregnant, she smiled and narrowed her eyes, "That's great, now I don't have to lose weight. It's not that I'm fat, it's that this child is a fat baby."
As she spoke, she patted her bulging belly a few times.
King Zhao's eyebrows twitched as he watched.
"Stop filming! That's a child, not the three bowls of rice you ate."
After he finished speaking, he covered his forehead with a headache. This matter was really...
Suddenly, he remembered something and his face became serious.
"The news that Ji is pregnant must not be spread out. I'm not just referring to those outside the palace, I'm also referring to those inside the palace. If anyone leaks the news..."
King Zhao glanced at the servants at the scene with an oppressive gaze, and everyone couldn't help but lower their heads and feel a chill on their backs.
The prince didn't say what the consequences would be, but it was obvious that it wasn't a good outcome.
The doctor quickly stood up and bowed his hand, saying, "Yes, Your Majesty."
Everyone followed suit and saluted: "Yes"
When King Zhao saw Ji Yunqing's innocent look of confusion, he would not say to her that "Chengcheng seems to be trying to harm her recently."
He just said calmly: "Several pregnant women in the mansion have lost their children this year. You are not smart, so you should try to be safe."
Ji Yunqing nodded repeatedly after listening, and a big stone was put down in her heart. King Zhao suddenly called for a doctor. She was still thinking about how she should deal with it if her pregnancy was exposed and the simple mode immediately turned into hell mode.
Fortunately, King Zhao had some brains and knew how to think about this kind of thing.
But... Ji Yunqing retorted dissatisfiedly: "Your Majesty, why am I not smart? Don't curse me!"
She even turned the tables: "They say that the more you say someone is stupid, the dumber they become. I blame you, Your Highness, for not being smart. In the future, Your Highness, you need to praise me for being smart and pretty more often."
King Zhao patted her head and said, "If you think so, then I can't help it."
"Okay, you should have a good rest and don't do any work. Ask the doctor to talk to the maids in your courtyard about the precautions and tell them not to run around recently."
After saying this, King Zhao left quickly.
After confirming that they had really left, Ji Yunqing sat down and looked at the maids.
Holding his face with a look of doubt, he said, "Hemerocallis, come and hit me to see if I am dreaming?"
Xuancao said with a smile: "Master, you are not dreaming, you are really pregnant with the little master"
"really?"
Ji Yunqing thought about it seriously, "Today there is a happy event in our courtyard. I am very happy. I will give five taels of silver to each of the people in our courtyard. As long as you follow me and work hard, you will have a good life in the future!"
When the reward money was given, the maids became even happier.
The sweet-mouthed Hong Xing even came over to ask, "Master, do you like sour food? Or do you like sweet food?"
Sour boy, spicy girl!
"Don't you know I like everything you said?" Ji Yunqing chatted with a few people and finally turned the conversation to what she wanted.
"You said, the prince wants us to keep it a secret today. What if someone really tells others secretly?"
