Chapter 486: It’s just a pregnancy, look at the commotion it caused, huh!
After Jun Feimo left, Yun Yubing and Chu Mengting turned their eyes to Chu Zixi who was lying on the couch.
Chu Zixi was seen lying there quietly, covered with a quilt. Her originally rosy face now looked a little pale, and she looked thin and haggard.
Both of them were shocked when they saw this, and they couldn't help but look at each other, with worry in their eyes.
Then, they hurriedly quickened their pace and came to Chu Zixi's side.
Yun Yubing was even more anxious. She didn't care about anything else and sat down on the edge of the couch. She reached out her hand and gently held Chu Zixi's wrist. She looked her up and down with concern and said distressedly: "Xi'er, it's only been a few days since we last met. How come you have become so thin? You look so haggard. What happened?"
Chu Mengting on the side also quickly agreed: "That's right, Sister Xi, what happened that made you become like this? Tell us quickly!"
Chu Zixi smiled slightly. She first raised her hand and gently stroked her still flat belly, then said happily: "I have good news to tell you. I... I'm pregnant."
As soon as these words came out, it was as if time had suddenly frozen at this moment, and the whole room instantly fell into silence. After a long while, Chu Mengting and Yun Yubing finally woke up from their dreams, and they both screamed at the same time: "Ah?"
They stared at Chu Zixi with wide eyes in disbelief, their faces filled with a mixture of surprise and joy.
When Yun Yubing heard Chu Zixi say that she was pregnant, she was pleasantly surprised. She quickly moved forward, carefully reached out her hand, and gently stroked Chu Zixi's slightly bulging belly.
Her movements were so gentle as if she was afraid of disturbing the little life growing in her belly. Her eyes were full of curiosity and anticipation, as if she wanted to touch the magical vitality directly through the thin belly.
"No wonder. I heard from my grandfather before that the people in your Zhan Palace were looking for ways to stop vomiting for pregnant women because of you. We were puzzled at the time, but now we finally understand the reason. So my grandfather asked me and my sister-in-law to come and see you to see if you are pregnant. I didn't expect that you are actually pregnant! That's great!" Yun Yubing said excitedly, his eyes never leaving Chu Zixi's belly.
Chu Zixi smiled and shook her head, but a barely perceptible bitterness flashed in her eyes unconsciously: "Actually, it's only been more than a month..." Although she tried hard to make herself look happier, the bitterness was still captured by the careful Yun Yubing.
Seeing this, Yun Yubing frowned slightly and asked in confusion, "Why is your pregnancy so hard? Look how hard it has been on you. You have become so haggard. I remember that when my eldest sister was pregnant, she was not like you."
Chu Zixi heard this and smiled helplessly: "Alas, I don't know what's going on. Ever since I got pregnant, I've been vomiting no matter what I eat. I prescribed several anti-vomiting prescriptions myself, but they didn't work at all. Later, I had no choice but to invite the imperial physician, but who knew that even the prescriptions prescribed by the imperial physician had no effect on me."
After hearing this, Yun Yubing couldn't help but frowned tightly, looked at Chu Zixi distressedly and said: "Oh, no wonder you have become like this! What should I do? Is there no other way to help you relieve morning sickness?"
Chu Mengting asked: "What should we do? Is Sister Xi suffering like this?"
"It's okay. When the month is a little bit longer, maybe you won't have morning sickness anymore."
Yun Yubing and Chu Mengting chatted and laughed with Chu Zixi until Chu Zixi felt a little sleepy, and then they went back.
Cining Palace
In the solemn and magnificent Cining Palace, the dowager queen sat on the magnificent phoenix chair that was intricately carved and demonstrated her supreme authority.
She was wearing a palace dress made of countless silk threads with intricate and gorgeous patterns. The colors were so dazzling that people dared not look directly at her. On her head, she was wearing a dazzling array of pearl and jade ornaments, which sparkled brightly under the sunlight.
However, what attracted the most attention was the empress dowager's majestic face. At this moment, she was staring ahead with a pair of eyes as deep as a pool of water.
She was seen gently fiddling with her favorite, smooth and round string of Buddhist beads in her hand. At this moment, in the center of the palace, the head of the Imperial Hospital was kneeling in fear and trepidation. His expression was extremely solemn and dignified, and there was even a layer of fine beads of sweat on his forehead.
The Queen Mother simply glanced at the kneeling head of the courtyard below, and then asked in a tone that seemed nonchalant but actually concealed a sharp edge: "Why has the War King summoned you so frequently in the past two days?"
Hearing the Queen Mother's question, the head of the court kowtowed and replied: "To answer the Queen Mother's question, Princess Zhan is now one month pregnant, but she is suffering from severe morning sickness. I specially prescribed a prescription for anti-nausea, but who knew that Princess Zhan did not get any better after taking it."
At this point, the head of the dean's voice couldn't help but tremble slightly. It was obvious that he felt helpless and at a loss about the uncontrollable morning sickness symptoms of Princess Zhan.
Upon hearing this, the Queen Mother snorted coldly at first, and then her originally serious face revealed a trace of undisguised disdain: "Hmph! You are really useless. When I was pregnant with the heir to the throne, I was not so pretentious.
Getting pregnant and bearing a child is a woman's natural duty. How could anyone be as delicate and fragile as her? I heard that recently the War King has been collecting various folk remedies for morning sickness. It must be because of her, Chu Zixi. It's just a pregnancy, but look at the commotion it caused. Humph!"
The dean nodded, then closed his lips tightly, not daring to say another word.
His mind was as clear as a mirror, and he knew clearly that the Queen Mother had no good impression of Prince Zhan's wife Chu Zixi, but Prince Zhan was helpless and doted on this princess.
At this moment, the Queen Mother's sharp eyes suddenly turned and cast her gaze on Mo Xiangyu who was standing beside her.
Mo Xiangyu is the empress dowager's distant niece. She is so beautiful that she is as stunning as the moon and flowers, and she is like a beautiful flower in full bloom.
Not only that, her character is also exceptionally gentle and graceful, and her every move and gesture shows the demeanor of a lady from a noble family. Because of this, she has always been loved and loved by the Queen Mother.
