In Jinyang Palace, Qin Zhao sighed and said, "Should I tell the emperor about my pregnancy?"
Previously, she hoped that after the baby was three months old, when the fetus would be stable, she would not be so nervous if someone came to stimulate her, and then she would disclose her pregnancy.
Now she feels sorry for Xiao Ce.
"Girl, why don't you wait a little longer?" Baozhu was the first to object.
There is no rush to reconcile with the emperor, the emperor is right there and will not run away, but the little prince is very precious, and the girl's pregnancy is not yet stable, so she needs to be raised well.
Even if you wait until the child is born before reconciling with the emperor, it will not be too late.
"My slave also thinks we can wait a little longer." Baoyu had the same idea.
Baozhu told her the twists and turns, and she also understood that the emperor was the source of the trouble. In this case, of course, it was best to avoid the emperor's troubles from causing more trouble for the girl and the unsettled little prince.
Ms. Luo also specifically told her that the girl should not be too nervous, otherwise it would be detrimental to the pregnancy.
There is still more than a month left until I am three months old, and it will pass soon.
Qin Zhao was still hesitant: "I'm just afraid that the emperor will be angry. How can he do it if he really ignores me?"
"Don't worry, if the emperor knows that the girl has such concerns because she is pregnant with the little prince, it will be too late to be happy. By then the girl's pregnancy will be safe, and the emperor will be extremely happy when he knows the good news." Baoyu answered quickly.
Qin Zhao felt that Baoyu's words made sense: "I'll listen to you and wait a little longer."
She did not expect at this time that because the people from Yangxin Palace often ran to Jinyang Palace, many concubines from the harem began to walk around Jinyang Palace again.
Among them, Luo Baolin ran the fastest. Not long after Qiu Shui left Jinyang Palace, Luo Baolin came over.
At this time, Qin Zhao was about to have lunch. Luo Baolin, who was a local, saw this and asked, "Sister, the lunch here is really rich. Can I have lunch with my sister?"
Qin Zhao wondered if Luo Baolin came here specially to eat at the meal time, but when Luo Baolin opened his mouth, she could not open her mouth to chase him away, so she said, "Since we are here, let's eat together."
Luo Baolin sat down immediately. She took a quick look at the dishes on the table. There were eight or nine dishes, each of which was exquisite and made her appetite whet her appetite.
"Baoyu's cooking skills are so good." She took a bite and was full of praise.
Baoyu saw Luo Baolin eating one bite after another. The girl didn't eat as much as Luo Baolin, and she was weeping in her heart.
This was obviously a delicacy she specially made for the girl and the little prince, but a large part of it went into Luo Baolin's mouth. Has Luo Baolin never eaten before?
It's just that she is soft-spoken, and no matter how much dissatisfaction she has, she can only swallow it in her belly.
Luo Baolin had enough to eat and drink here, while Nian Su and Cui Yan came over there again.
"Have you just finished your lunch, Miss Qin?" Cui Yan asked with a smile when she saw Baozhu clearing away the leftovers on the dining table.
Qin Zhao was in a good mood at the moment: "Yes, I just finished lunch."
Luo Baolin also knew Cui Yan's identity, so he continued: "Baoyu's cooking skills are first-class, not worse than the imperial chef. I am lucky enough to taste Baoyu's cooking skills."
Her truth was very useful to Baoyu.
Cui Yan saw this and looked at Baoyu: "It seems that everyone around Miss Qin is very useful. I only hope that I will have the opportunity to taste Baoyu's cooking skills in the future."
"Stop praising Baoyu, otherwise she will easily drift away." While Qin Zhao was speaking, Baoyu served tea.
After Qin Zhao took the tea, he put it in his hand and was not in a hurry to drink it.
When Luo Baolin saw this detail, he looked at Qin Zhao twice. Not only Luo Baolin saw it, Cui Yan also saw it, and asked, "Why doesn't Miss Qin drink tea?"
"I just drank two bowls of soup, it was too filling." Qin Zhao said and simply handed the tea to Baozhu.
Baozhu put the tea aside, out of Qin Zhao's reach.
Originally, the cup of tea was just for show, but Luo Baolin and Cui Yan discovered that she didn't drink tea anyway. Therefore, it was not easy for these two women to know from the details.
Cui Yan and Luo Baolin couldn't fault Qin Zhao's words. They said a few words to Qin Zhao from time to time. After sitting for about half an hour, Luo Baolin stood up and left.
Qin Zhao also said: "I feel sleepy after eating, so I will take a nap."
Cui Yan originally didn't want to leave so soon, but after Qin Zhao said this, she couldn't stay any longer.
When Luo Baolin walked away, Nian Su said to Cui Yan, "Miss Qin seems to have gained some weight."
Cui Yan hadn't noticed it before, so she wasn't sure: "Really?"
"My servant seems to have gained some weight. Also, Miss Qin doesn't drink tea. Is there something wrong with the tea?" Nian Su asked again.
Cui Yan's face changed slightly: "Isn't that possible? Luo Baolin and I both drank tea. There must be something in the tea."
Nian Su also felt that this made no sense. Unless Cui Yan and Luo Baolin posed some kind of threat to Qin Zhao, they could cut the tea, but these two people were obviously not Qin Zhao's opponents.
Now that everyone in the harem wants to see Qin Zhao's face, how could Qin Zhao attack these people who look up to her? This is illogical.
After thinking about this, she felt that she had thought too much.
Maybe Qin Zhao didn't drink tea just because she was full as she said, and there was no other special reason.
Another way to verify this is to pay attention to whether Qin Zhao doesn't drink tea when he goes to Jinyang Palace next time.
It's okay once, but if you don't drink tea all the time, there must be a reason.
"Miss Cui will come to Jinyang Palace tomorrow to carefully observe whether Miss Qin doesn't drink tea. If Miss Qin still doesn't drink tea, there must be something wrong." Nian Su gave Cui Yan some advice.
Cui Yan felt that what Nian Su said was reasonable, and immediately decided to come back to Qin Zhao the next day.
They didn't know that Qin Zhao had listened to their conversation.
Qin Zhao shook his head and said: "The women in the palace are too suspicious!"
In particular, Nian Su is a woman who can cause trouble. She can make a big deal out of something as small as not drinking tea. She is pregnant and does not dare to drink tea randomly, but not drinking tea will attract attention, so she gave her the orb.
Have a drink.
I don't want to make Nian Su and Cui Yan suspicious just like this.
Now that she knew Cui Yan would come to Jinyang Palace tomorrow, she had to prepare a countermeasure in advance.
In the evening, Qin Zhao got up, and other concubines came to Jinyang Palace one after another. The reason why Jinyang Palace became lively was of course because people from Yangxin Palace frequently came in and out of Jinyang Palace.
Therefore, wherever Xiao Ce goes, there are many right and wrongs, and this is not something she is overly worried about.
After finally dealing with everyone, Qin Zhao finally took a breath.
Bao Zhu saw that she seemed a little tired, and asked Bao Ping to check Qin Zhao's pulse. Qin Zhao smiled and said, "I'm fine, but my energy is not as good as before."
She used to have no problem dealing with many women, but now she feels that the child is absorbing nutrients from her body, so her energy is not as good as before she was pregnant.
She didn't know if it was her imagination, but it was a fact that she was under great pressure.
