After a short while, all kinds of desserts and dishes were placed in front of each concubine's small table. Luo Ya scanned the surroundings, and she had already swallowed her saliva several times. Luo Ya could only stand by her side. Looking at Mei Pin, who was eating happily, Luo Ya could not help but feel depressed. Wasn't she afraid that there was something wrong with the food?
The women were chatting and laughing, and from time to time, they would let out the legendary bell-like laughter. However, this was good as it covered up the sound of Roya's stomach rumbling.
Just as Luo Ya was salivating at the dish on the table, Mei Pin's scream startled her back to reality. Looking closely, he saw that Mei Pin's eyebrows were slightly furrowed, her face was pale, and her small hands were constantly clutching her stomach and crying out in pain. Everyone's gaze swept over. From the looks of it, something must have happened at the banquet. Consort Zhen's expression was naturally the ugliest…
Luoya quickly bent down and asked Mei Pin,"Is Your Majesty's stomach uncomfortable?"”Mei Pin looked at Luo Ya with tears in her eyes." Nanny, my stomach hurts!”
'Wah-wah-wah-wah-
Luo Ya comforted Mei Pin as she glanced at the food on Mei Pin's table. It was strange. Based on her previous experience of watching modern health programs, they were all for nourishing qi and blood. There was no food that would be detrimental to pregnant women. Then why was Concubine Mei chattering here? Moreover, in such a public occasion today, I believe no one would dare to tamper with it so impudently, right? If many of the words were really found out, they would be charged with the crime of "murdering the prince"!
Consort Zhen suppressed the fear in her heart and hurriedly called the palace maid to summon the imperial physician. She also quickly moved to Mei Pin's side to ask about her well-being.
Everyone looked at each other, wondering who had done something here.
But no matter what, Consort Zhen could not escape responsibility. This was her palace, and the food was made by her small kitchen. If she said that this had nothing to do with her, no one would believe it.
Mei Pin's tears were already flowing down. Luo Ya suddenly felt that something was wrong. He swept his gaze across the crowd. Although there were some who were smug, it did not seem like those people had drugged him. Logically speaking, it was unlikely for Consort Zhen to do so, unless she really felt that she was tired of living…
What was going on? Or could it be that the murderer was not in this hall and did not attend the banquet?
When the imperial physician Bai Fengqing arrived, Concubine Mei had already been carried into Concubine Zhen's bedroom by the palace maids on a soft frame. The Emperor had also arrived.
Bai Fengqing carefully took Mei Pin's pulse, his expression extremely strange.
"The Empress's body is weak and coincidentally pregnant, which led to this sudden situation.”As he said this, Bai Fengqing inadvertently smiled at the Emperor. The others might not have noticed his expression, but Roya saw it clearly. Sigh, such a flirtatious smile. Could it be that the emperor also had that kind of hobby?
Hearing Bai Feng Qing's words, everyone in the hall heaved a sigh of relief. Concubine Zhen's panic turned into a smile,"Little sister really scared me just now."”She then walked toward Concubine Mei and got closer to the Emperor. Seeing this, all the women also surrounded him and said a few words of "concern". Firstly, they wanted to please the Emperor, and secondly, they could get close to the Emperor.
Loya was squeezed outside alone. She felt that her stomach was about to erupt into the third world war.
Not long after, Luo Ya saw the Emperor personally carrying Mei Pin out. Bai Fengqing followed behind him, and the smile in his eyes revealed a hint of amusement.
Seeing the Emperor like this, all the women gritted their teeth, but they did not want to make it too obvious. On the surface, this storm was settled, but it was a false alarm. However, the Emperor's love for Concubine Mei was undoubtedly pushing her to the cusp of the storm…The child in her belly probably had its share of danger and good fortune.
***************
After leaving Concubine Mei's Yulin Palace, Emperor Nangong Hao was currently resting in his carriage. Bai Fengqing followed by the side, a smile on his lips,"The Emperor is doing this to make Concubine Mei the target of public criticism."”On the surface, he seemed to be worried for Concubine Mei, but in reality, he was trying to find a way to describe how black-bellied the Emperor was.
After a moment of silence, the far-sighted Nangong Hao suddenly said wearily,"At first, I only thought she was naive and innocent. I really didn't expect that she would use my son as a bet today. How hateful!"”After a while, he suddenly laughed to himself." However, it's not impossible to use her to balance the harem.”
"Then the concubines 'eyes won't always stay on Cui Mei Palace?”As if he had hit a sore spot, he suddenly opened his eyes and looked at Bai Fengqing." Since Bai Qing already knows, why bother asking?”
Bai Fengqing didn't feel afraid at all. He just shook his head and smiled,'How can a king be trapped in the word' love'?”These words seemed to be saying something philosophical, but also seemed to be reminding the young emperor of something.
The two of them were speechless for a moment.
****************
After sending Nangong Hao away, Mei Pin immediately pulled Luo Ya and asked her questions as if nothing had happened. Is the emperor really frowning for me?”"Did the emperor feel sorry for me just now? Aiya, my stomach hurt just now and I didn't even have the time to look.”"Did the emperor say that he would come again next time? When are you coming?"
Luo Ya's head was covered in black lines.'You don't look like someone who's weak and has a miscarriage.'
Recalling the scenes in Bright Sun Palace, Luo Ya had a bad feeling. Mei Pin had really changed a little.
Today, the handsome imperial physician had already made it very clear that she felt uncomfortable because of her weak body. However, at that moment, she saw Bai Fengqing give the Emperor a look, and the Emperor immediately understood.
From that gaze, Luo Ya vaguely felt that Mei Pin's act seemed to be self-directed. Pretending to have a stomachache could not only make the concubines suspicious of each other, but it could also attract the emperor's attention and love. However…Luo Ya looked at Mei Pin helplessly. She was too " innocent ". A man who can slowly take back the imperial power, how can you hide it from him with your petty tricks?
But no matter what, Luo Ya felt that Mei Pin had already started to use her child as a bet. She wanted to take a gamble. If it was good, she would naturally rise in wealth, but if she failed, she would be eternally consigned.
"Granny, do you think the child in my stomach is a prince or a princess?”Mei Pin's innocent and cute voice rang in Luo Ya's ears again. Luo Ya came back to her senses and looked at Mei Pin, who was pretending to be innocent. She suddenly felt that the saying " the human heart is unpredictable " was too true.
When did she start to change?
Pushed into the water? Following the emperor to hunt, and because of that, he wanted to enjoy more? Or was it that she had been pretending to be innocent ever since she entered the palace?
"Granny, stop daydreaming and take a good look at my stomach.”Mei Pin's coquettish voice came again, and Luo Ya obediently fixed her eyes on Mei Pin's stomach. Actually, having a daughter might save your life.
"The Empress is only two months pregnant. How can you tell if it's a boy or a girl?”
Mei Pin pouted disapprovingly." I heard that when I'm pregnant with a boy, I like spicy food, and when I'm pregnant with a girl, I like sour food. But recently, I don't seem to be resistant to spicy or sour food."”
"That's because you have a good appetite. This is a good thing for pregnant people.”When Luo Ya said this, she had already stood up." It's getting late. Your Highness, you should rest early."”With that, Luo Ya bowed to Mei Pin and left.
