A Foodie Transmigrated into the Palace-Chapter 958: Expecting

Half a month later, at the end of April.

After numerous pulse checks by several Imperial Physicians, it was finally confirmed.

Noble Consort Xian of Duanning Palace has been pregnant for over a month.

At this point.

Xia Ruqing, who has always been skeptical about traditional Chinese medicine, was completely impressed, admiring it wholeheartedly.

She couldn’t help but exclaim.

"At that time, it was not even a month, at most half a month and twenty days!"

"That old Imperial Doctor could diagnose it, truly amazing!"

No wonder Zhao Junyao was so confident!

It seems that in his twenty-odd years of life, the Imperial Medical Bureau really hasn’t made any mistakes!

Ancient people, ancestors!

Their intelligence and talents are absolutely not inferior to modern people!

Zi Yue and Zi Su were overjoyed.

"Congratulations, Noble Consort, congratulations!"

"If it’s a Little Princess this time, you’ll have both a son and a daughter!"

Xia Ruqing gently stroked her flat belly, her face full of tenderness.

"You know, I feel like it’s really a daughter this time!"

"It feels completely different from the last two times!"

Zi Su giggled happily.

The group of master and servants were chatting.

Henger and Yeye entered one after the other, with the wetnurse and sister attendants following.

"Mother Consort, what did you say was different just now?" Yeye asked innocently.

Henger eagerly interrupted.

"You’re so silly!"

"Haven’t you heard that Mother Consort is pregnant with a little sister?"

Yeye, unusually, wasn’t angry, his eyes even sparkled with curiosity.

"Mother Consort, where is the little sister?"

Sister Liang hurried forward to interject.

"Little Prince, that’s not something you should ask!"

"Noble Consort is tired, let’s wash up quickly, lunchtime is coming!"

Sister Jiang also stepped forward to persuade Henger.

"Third Prince, let’s wash our face too, look at you all sweaty!"

The two Little Buns were unwilling.

The two exchanged a glance and refused in unison.

"No!"

"We’re not going to wash our face, we want to stay with Mother Consort, and with little sister!"

Xia Ruqing was amused by these two little children.

She immediately reached out and pinched each of their little cheeks.

"What do you know? Little sister indeed!"

Henger immediately raised an eyebrow, excitedly said.

"Mother Consort, don’t underestimate Henger!"

"I know everything?"

"Oh?" Xia Ruqing suppressed her laughter.

"What do you know? Tell Mother Consort?"

Henger glanced slightly at Yeye and, with eyes semi-closed, said proudly.

"I know!"

"Mother Consort giving birth to a little sister is like Little White giving birth to Da Hua and Xiao Hua, first the belly gets big, and then the child is born!"

As for how exactly they are born, he didn’t know.

But he imagined it must hurt! There should be bleeding.

He vaguely remembered, when Da Hua and Xiao Hua were born, there was a bloody smell in the cat’s nest, so presumably, there was bleeding.

However, he was not very sure, as the palace attendants had cleaned it up long ago, and he had no way of knowing.

Thinking of this, he subconsciously asked again.

"Mother Consort, when you gave birth to me and my brother, did it hurt?!"

The question plunged the room into long silence.

Yeye looked at him with admiration.

"Brother! You know so much, how come I didn’t know?"

Xia Ruqing was also shocked.

’My goodness, have ancient children matured to this extent?’

She thought if her son were in a modern kindergarten, he could already start dating.

This is simply a little genius!

After a long silence, the two sisters suddenly knelt down and started kowtowing.

"Noble Consort, we deserve to die, we deserve to die!"

Looking at Sister Jiang and Sister Liang.

She was somewhat shocked.

"What happened to you?"

Sister Jiang hurriedly said.

"I truly have no idea where Third Prince learned these words!"

"Our teaching was inadequate, please punish us!"

Xia Ruqing finally understood.

The responsibility of these nanny sisters is to teach children basic court etiquette, morality, and shame.

And Henger, as a Prince, saying such things was definitely out of line.

If pursued, it was the responsibility of the tutoring nannies.

So they were so panicked.

But to Xia Ruqing, this wasn’t necessarily a bad thing.

"You both stand up!" She gestured with her hand.

Then she laughed and looked at Henger, teaching him.

"Henger, you are very smart!"

"But in the future, keep these thoughts to yourself, never speak them out loud, understand?"

Henger was somewhat confused.

"Why Mother Consort? Did I say something wrong?"

"No, you did not!"

"You did not do anything wrong!"

The error lies in this feudal rigid thinking and outdated court rules.

But she couldn’t say this, especially not in front of the children.

She could only say.

"Just remember, if your Father Emperor hears it, he will be unhappy, okay?"

Henger was puzzled but still nodded vaguely.

"Okay! I remember, Mother Consort!"

After letting out a sigh of relief, Xia Ruqing straightened up again.

"Alright!"

"Serve the meal, the children must be hungry! I’m hungry too!"

"Yes!"

Zi Yue responded and went out.

Soon, steaming breakfast was served.

Now that she was pregnant again, her diet returned to being light.

At the end of April, early May.

Summer has already arrived, when the weather is fine, the sun is somewhat harsh.

After breakfast, it was already late morning.

Looking at the blazing sunshine outside, she couldn’t go out.

After sending the children away.

She sat under the corridor, blowing a gentle warm breeze, looking at the views of the courtyard.

Occasionally looking up, all she saw was a small square patch of blue sky.

She sighed.

"The deep palace is like the sea, this phrase is indeed true!"

She wanted to leave the palace, wanted to travel to Jiangnan, she had been hoping for this for who knows how long.

Finally approaching the goal, about to pack up and set off, she became pregnant again.

And unlike before, this time the nausea was particularly severe.

Let alone riding in a carriage.

Even sitting here steadily, her stomach was churning.

Zi Yue brought a bowl of glutinous rice porridge, cautiously said.

"Noble Consort, you only ate half a bun this morning, are you still okay? Have some porridge!"

Eating with the children, even if she couldn’t, she had to force herself.

Managing to swallow half a bun was already an effort.

At this moment, she indeed felt somewhat hungry.

Just as she was about to take the porridge and drink a bit.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she held the porridge, she felt nauseous again.

Caught off guard, the porridge spilled.

This time, it was worse than yesterday and the day before.

She almost vomited up all the food from previous days.

Finally, her stomach was empty, the vomit was just water!

"Ugh!"

"Noble Consort!" Zi Yue frowned worriedly.

"Eat two bites, vomit three, it’s increasingly severe, how can this be alright?"

"Noble Consort, should we call for the Imperial Physician?"

Xia Ruqing lay on the chair, weakly.

"What use is calling the Imperial Physician..."

"Haven’t they given enough tonic medicine? It’s just ineffective!"

At this time, the Imperial Physician prescribed mainly supplementing medicines, mild in effect.

One dose wasn’t much, not taking it didn’t matter either, ultimately it wasn’t effective!
