Chapter 233 Pregnancy again
Princess Yuhua and her husband started quarreling again, and it was said that the situation was chaotic.
Empress Dowager Li has been ignoring everything these past few years. She has been devoted to vegetarianism and chanting Buddhist scriptures, praying for the people she cares about. Her mind is very calm and broad, but this time she was still furious with Princess Yuhua.
Empress Dowager Li summoned Princess Yuhua into the Cining Palace and began a new round of preaching. Empress Dowager Li had just put on her stance and said a few words when she saw that Princess Yuhua was frightened. She sat on the chair with a dull look in her eyes and her body suddenly went limp.
Empress Dowager Li was also shocked. She hadn't even started to say anything yet. What was going on?
Nanny Li and Princess Yuhua's maid were even more frightened. They hurriedly supported Princess Yuhua. The maid was trembling and whispered, "Empress Dowager, should we call the imperial physician immediately?"
Empress Dowager Li saw the maid, who was about to burst into tears, and rubbed her brows. "Quick! Call the imperial physician, and help the princess to the bed as soon as possible."
The poor Imperial Physician Zhao was summoned to the Cining Palace. With a worried look on his face, he knelt before the bed to feel Princess Yuhua's pulse. After just a moment, his expression turned from sunny to cloudy. After confirming again and again, he turned around beamingly and said, "Reporting to the Empress Dowager, the Princess's pulse is flowing smoothly, and the fingers should be round and round, like beads rolling on a jade plate. Your Highness's pulse is a sign of pregnancy!"
Empress Dowager Li was suddenly surprised and delighted. "Really? That's great, but why did the princess suddenly faint? There's nothing wrong with that!"
Doctor Zhao coughed lightly and said, "Your Highness is newly pregnant, and the fetus is unstable. Now she has come to the Empress Dowager to listen to her teachings. Perhaps she is a little nervous and tired!"
Empress Dowager Li suddenly fell silent. It was impossible for her sons to reconcile and it was impossible for them to be filial to her anymore. Her daughter had always been rebellious and would always go against her in everything. She had taught her strictly for so many years, but she still hadn't made any progress. Now she was so nervous that she almost fainted when she saw her!
Empress Dowager Li felt deeply frustrated. She waved her hand in dismay and said, "Go get the princess some pregnancy-maintaining medicine! Let her recuperate in Cining Palace for a few more days until the fetus stabilizes!"
Of course, the second half of the sentence was directed to Li Ma, who quickly responded and ordered the palace servants to get busy.
When Nanny Li saw that Empress Dowager Li was unhappy, she couldn't help but say, "Empress Dowager, the princess is always willing to listen to what Noble Concubine Yi has to say. Otherwise..."
Empress Dowager Li's expression relaxed at first, then she thought of something: "Forget it. Although the child still comes to pay respects from time to time, I can see that she still blames me because of the Seventh Prince's matter. She still has a grudge against me."
Nanny Li was also slightly taken aback. "Noble Consort Yi has always been considerate and understanding. What happened back then had its reasons and consequences. I don't think she'll dwell on it anymore. Empress Dowager, the most urgent thing is to reassure Her Royal Highness! Otherwise, if Her Royal Highness insists on returning to the Princess Mansion again, can you rest assured about her health?"
Empress Dowager Li thought about it and rubbed her forehead gently. "Well, forget it today. Let's do it tomorrow!"
Nanny Li stopped trying to persuade her and went to ask someone to take care of Princess Yuhua.
When Lan Qingwu was invited by Nanny Li to visit Princess Yuhua, Princess Yuhua's husband, who had just received the news, came to the Cining Palace. He saw the husband kneeling at the door of the main hall of the Cining Palace, crying miserably with snot and tears: "Empress Dowager, I heard that Her Royal Highness the Princess has offended you again. Yesterday, you were furious and severely punished the Princess. The Princess dared not disobey your teachings, but the Princess has been delicate and frail since childhood, and has lived a life of luxury. How could she endure such harsh punishment? No! Teachings! Empress Dowager, please, for the sake of my parents and children, forgive Her Royal Highness the Princess this time! Empress Dowager, I beg you! What happened yesterday was all my fault. Please don't vent your anger on the Princess again!"
Empress Dowager Li was at the entrance to the palace, and she was about to spit out blood! Listen to what this prince consort is saying? After all this trouble, I am the only one who is the bad guy! Empress Dowager Li was so angry that her chest heaved non-stop, and she didn't recover for a long time.
Lan Qingwu was speechless for a long time. She raised her eyebrows slightly. It seemed that this prince consort was tormented by Princess Yuhua... No! He was trained very well!
Lan Qingwu whispered to Nanny Li, whose face was turning pale and blue, "What happened? Didn't they say the princess fainted because she was pregnant?"
Nanny Li wiped the sweat from her forehead. "Yes! These rumors are too outrageous. The Prince Consort must have thought that the Empress Dowager was cruel... that the princess had suffered some kind of injury, so he disregarded etiquette and came to the Cining Palace to plead for Princess Yuhua."
Lan Qingwu nodded. "It seems that their relationship has grown stronger since the princess gave birth to their son."
This is indeed true. Nanny Li nodded and said, "Their relationship has improved, but it is said that the princess has become even colder towards her mother-in-law. This is not the princess's fault. When the princess gave birth to the little prince, there was only a slight problem, and her mother-in-law threatened the prince consort to keep the child. It chilled the princess' heart. If the prince consort had not held on at the critical moment and withstood the pressure, who knows what would happen to the princess now! This is why..."
Lan Qingwu thought silently that it was because of this that the prince consort had truly gained the princess's true love, which led to the current situation.
Lan Qingwu was about to enter the main hall when he found that Emperor Shenwu had also arrived on a dragon chariot. The emperor's majesty was extraordinary, and everyone hurriedly saluted to welcome him.
The sobbing of the Prince Consort also stopped. He turned stiffly towards Emperor Shenwu and saluted stiffly.
The prince consort would tremble when he saw the Emperor Shenwu's calves. When the matters between them were brought to the attention of the Emperor Shenwu, he would feel guilty and short of breath. The Emperor Shenwu also found a different way to deal with their matters, which doubled the pressure on the prince consort.
For example, at this moment, the Shenwu Emperor strode down from the dragon chariot. He frowned slightly, his expression slightly cold: "What are you howling at the gate of the Cining Palace?"
The Prince Consort was stunned for a moment: "Your Majesty... Your Majesty is just worried about the Princess..."
Emperor Shenwu waved his hand, passed by Lan Qingwu, and offered his hand to help her up, then walked directly into the main hall of the Cining Palace: "Let's go in and take a look. What's the point of howling at the gate?"
The prince consort's attendants quickly got up from the ground and helped their master, who was still kneeling on the ground.
The son-in-law followed Emperor Shenwu into the palace trembling with fear and walking on thin ice.
The atmosphere in the palace was not at all as gloomy, miserable, sad and tearful as the prince consort had imagined. Princess Yuhua was lying comfortably on the bed covered with brocade quilts and jade furs, and her personal palace mistress was attentively serving her master with tonic.
Princess Yuhua was stunned by the sudden influx of so many people. She was about to throw back the quilt, get out of bed and pay her respects, but Lan Qingwu stopped her first: "Don't move! His Majesty and the Empress Dowager know your situation. Don't be so concerned with etiquette right now."
